Just received the ICS update prompt. Is it safe to do so being on Boost?
So you are a boost customer and got ics ota notification? That can't be bad.
Sent from my E4GT running the blu kuban!
Yes on boost service and received ota ics notification update.
What build?
Please post which version you end up with. Suspect FF18 but hey, wishful thinking never has stopped!

Any chance you can pull the update out of cache if you haven't updated?

Been wondering about the update also would love to get rid of gingerbread but don't want to get rid of the settings for boost....don't have the money right now to reflash lol

Im not familiar with the process to flash to boost but whats even better is you guys now have ICS rom leaks specific to boost now
Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.
If it would, then theoretically a nandroid would take you back.

Anyways from what I have found is that no rom I have flashed on this phone has messes up the radio settings where all the carrier settings are stored. You should be fine. But that being said flash at your own risk ha.

Meh, it's was your avatar that I remembered.
Thank you for chiming in. I remembered seeing the posts but couldn't find them for a reference. This worked out though.:good:
I rooted my tmobile S3 today and it worked fine. Later I installed a cyanogen nightly sang noticed it was only getting 3g, so I did a restore to the stock rooted firmware through ROM manger. With that I got just bars, no indication of 4g or 3g. The phone wouldnt go to the internet, it said no connection available. I had to restore back to cyangen to get the phone just to work... but regardless of which settings I chose the phone is stuck in 3g. What is the fix? I'm going crazy here
Did you check your imei? Did you back it up?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
3G on cm is the same as 4G on tmo stock rom.
Try checking your apn settings on the stock rom since I think your imei is fine, without it you wouldn't have gotten 3G at all, even on cm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Wait, are you just looking at the icon without it doing anything. Many aftermarket ROMs will show 3G when the phone is doing nothing. It will show 4G or H when you make it work.

It is not an LOL deal, if you have no clue that means you didn't bother reading anything about flashing a rom IMEI is mentioned all over, IMO you deserve no help what so ever since you think LOL is a proper response to not reading how to do the job the right way, enjoy your slow data speeds maybe if you learn to read it will work again

Seems like the Att version already has a clean ROM, and touch recovery.
Wondering why the sprint versions a little behind
Maybe we need to step up if no one else will. I wish I knew what I was doing more... I am doing the newbie guide in my spare time.. who knows, in another ten years we might have a rom.

I've got the Canadian version, and other than bloat apps and some carrier settings are they not the same phones for the most part? I might be talking out of my ass here, but should the devs not have too much trouble porting a custom Rom from one variant to the others.
Also, it really hasn't even been two weeks since the phone hit the market and it is already unlocked. I am making the assumption that all the variants will be getting some custom Rom love pretty soon. I'm sure it takes a bit of time.

Hi, I've been a 10 year TMobile user. I just switched to sprint this week. I'm not a newbie when it comes to flashing roms, but I'm wondering what differences I need to anticipate by using a CDMA phone over a GSM before I start flashing something and brick my phone. Any input would be appreciated.

*facepalm* Seriously people read before you dole out your half witted 2cents
All of my experience is flashing on CDMA, but to my understanding flashing a GN2 on CDMA is exactly the same as GSM. Make sure you only flash the sprint variant ROMS, but other than that you don't have to take any precautions.
BUT you dont get to have data while talking on the phone anymore. Unless there is that sweet workaround with LTE. I'm in a 4g free zone so can't confirm or deny this.
Do I need to reactivate my phone after each flash or is it similar to with a sim card and just flash and go?

I think he worded it correctly. He was coming from a GSM and knew Sprint is CDMA and wanted to know if there was any difference between the two as far as ROMs go.

You would use activation like changing a sim card - triggers the phone to go out and grab its new phone number, GPRS logins, etc.
"Update profile and PRL" are what you should be doing on flashes, expecially if you flash a new modem.

I flashed a new modem last night, didn't update profile or PRL. Works fine.
Changing ROMs is as simple as changing sim cards. If your phone was activated before, a new ROM isn't going to change that. This includes AOSP ROMs, when they arrive.
Thanks for the replies. Now I just have to get over the differences of HTC and Samsung. Didn't have anything like Odin or whatnot for HTC, but did have weird bootloader issues. Thanks again.

Yeah, it will work fine. Modem rom contains the PRL, or at least it did on the e4gt. Flashing a new modem may leave you with an older PRL.

Ok. Maybe I didn't make my point clearly. I was talking about best practices over time.
For example, the modern you flashed has PRL56009 which is the newest ATM. Great.
In a year, if you flash this modem again, you'll be back on 56009. Even if the new PRL is 56123.
Make sense?
My general rules:
When flashing roms, only update prl and profile if you notice a loss of data speed or connectivity issues.
When flashing modems, update the prl and profile.
Samsung modems were new to me when transitioning from HTC. Common thought is the performance of different modem versions is dependent on location and/or individual phones. You will flash roms and modems independently.

My point was I had manually flashed the corporate prl previously, which I don't think was included in the modem. 55009 is the current standard prl.
I'm not trying to argue with you. I don't claim to understand how modems and prls work. Just sharing my experience.

I have an auntie that has a T-Mo Galaxy S2 and when trying to upgrade it says that there is no new upgrade even tho that it is on froyo. Trying to connect it to kies, the program doesn't recognize it. She took it to the T-Mo store and they said that it was a bug in some of the S2's and were unable to do anything. My question now, is it safe to install cwm and flash a jelly bean rom even tho that this bug is present??? Thanks in advance
Sorry for the double post but I'm not sure if it's worth noting, but the front camera is on the right side of the phone as opposed to the left (looking at pictures from the web). Not sure if this is substantial or anything just a quick note.

You have to upgrade through kies software on your PC if you're on stock Gingerbread.

Can you post some information about the phone from the settings? Like build number, phone model, etc.? Because the Galaxy S2 never had froyo, so I'm very curious to see what your settings are like.

Try and take some screenshots or something. Because even the first Galaxy S2 (the I9100) was released with Gingerbread, not Froyo, so this is stumping me right now.

Does it look like that? That's the Galaxy S 4G. Its like a slight revision to the OG Galaxy S. It doesn't have official CM Builds iirc though.
If it doesn't look like that, then she doesn't have a Galaxy S device, just some random Samsung phone
