[Q] Problem with Custom Rom - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi so this is my first thread. So I recently routed my gs3 with no problem, and I have CWM recovery v6. I tried to use the euroskank cm10 mod from the ROM manager app. Everything ran okay, but the one problem I'm having is the android keyboard stops working. I couldnt set anything up,so I had to restore to the stock ROM. Can anyone help me fix this? Thank you. Also, just to kill to birds with one stone, what is the best modem for the sprint gs3? Thanks a bunch!

Might just be a problem with the rom, did you read the bugs? Or did you clear all data before flashing?

That just sounds like a bug in the rom

Suppose so, a friend of mine can use the ROM with his GS3, but he has ATT. Maybe that's why his works

Wait, is the ROM in question even meant for the Sprint GS3? If not that could be a huge problem. Never ever flash a ROM from another carrier.

The ROM manager app gives me a selection of phones to flash CWM recovery with, and I chose the sprint GS3.

If your friend is running it on ATT, I would a assume that you're running 2 different ports of the same ROM. In that case each can have their own bugs and quarks.

And mine apparently won't let me use a keyboard, which makes it pointless anyway. So I should just find another rom specific to the sprint GS3. Know of any that I should look into?

Can I run original Kernel and Build Number?

Is there anyway to get my SGS2 back to the original Kernel and Build number it had? My reason is because I "Flashed" some Chicago ICS and got confused; forgetting to back up all my stuff, it deleted everything it's completely wiped and it left my old SGS2 to poop. I'm have a new one and I didn't Root my new phone, im going to take care of this one.
I just want the Kernel and Build number back to what it was originally. Its a T-Mobile SGHT989. Thx in advance for help!

So you bricked the old one?

Kernel and build number? Was your old one originally GB? The only way those changed is if the new one they sent has the latest ICS update.

Yeah I guess you can say it's bricked, basicly unusable I can't even run Play Store without my phone freezing up.

if your able to get on it, you should be able to get into recovery. Had mine stuck at sign on over and over after adding an app so I went into recovery and was able to fix things. Am sure you can fix it.

[App]Google Wallet Installer

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3.
Requires ROOT, an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and BUSYBOX!(A deodexed ROM is just recommended)
My newest project, RemoteFlash, was just released! Take a look and give it a try!
Wallet Installer Is Now Available For Free To All Supported Carrier Models On XDA! (Donations Appreciated)
My application, "Wallet Installer", will install Google Wallet on almost any US based Samsung Galaxy S3. It simply edits your build.prop and then places the correct modifications into your system. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which is pretty quick. Just select the appropriate Rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz, and then your carrier: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or US Cellular. I also added a restore option for your build.prop, so you can restore it after you setup Google Wallet. Hopefully this helps you out and makes the process easier!
Wallet Installer has been updated on the server side. The credit goes to Paul Obrien for the new version! To install it, simply reset Google Wallet, delete it, and then rerun Wallet Installer! Make sure to also have BusyBox installed/updated!
Please donate if my work helps you : )

It does re-write your recovery, but it appears to have worked perfectly. The install part was actually pretty seamless. But I would suggest some clarification on the play store about everything with the recovery. Well worth $2. Thanks.

What if you already have a recovery, say CWM? Does it still flash a new recovery over the old one?

It does. Backing up the current recovery is a very possible future update though. I just got the other carriers supported, so that wasn't my main concern at the time. You can simply flash back over it with whatever recovery you prefer.

Forgive my ignorance, but once you root your GS3, doesn't that automatically unlock your bootloader? If not, then how do you unlock it on a Tmous Gs3?

I use a Verizon S3, so I don't know the specifics of your methods to root/unlock. The VZW S3 had a locked bootloader at first, but the dev community managed to unlock it. You'll have to ask around your device forums for an answer.

Just a note on this app. Google Play now recognizes my phone as a Galaxy Nexus. May not be a huge deal, but things like TeamViewer quick support won't work because the build.prop is telling it I have a nexus.

That's the point of the restore build.prop option. As long as you have your cards already setup in wallet, you can restore it and your device will be registered as an S3, and Wallet will still work.

Hi I'm about to buy this app and use it to install wallets. I understand that it will flash a new recovery an that I can just flash my old one back. I also understand that I need to restore my build prop afterwards. My question is that once I hopefully get this working what if I wanted to flash another mod or rom? Could I still do that? I remember reading about the secure element breaking and not being able to?

Yup! You can still flash other mods. I would just not recommend flashing another wallet mod on top of the wallet my app installed. Also, before flashing a ROM, reset Google Wallet.

Have you tried boot manager from the play store?
No i havent tried anything yet lol. I like to learn b4 i experiment. But i know nothing about dual booting i just came across something online for it and wanted to try.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I would check to see if boot manager supports the S3...theres a lite version you can test to see if it works
The way it works is that it installs one to /system and the other on your sd...then it just alternates between the two when you wanna boot into the other
But yeah, i came across this too and couldnt get it to work on my Shift
Hopefully it works on the S3, i havent checked yet though so you can give it a shot by just downloading the app :good:
The post i read said on the s3 u can dual boot 2 similar roms like m.o.a.r and t.p.r. for example. So my question is would i be able to use features from each rom at the same time?

idk what happened to the signal..

i was rooting my friend's s2 and he wanted paranoid android. so i downloaded that, installed the rom and gapps and his signal gave out. he had the phone for over a year and he used it to tell me he was outside so for sure it isnt stolen. i thought maybe it was the rom so i installed slim bean and still nothing. i tried my sim and nada. i didnt mess with any of the apn settings. the signal with no data would come in for about 3 seconds then give out again. maybe i should update the firmware? would anyone know where i could find the latest one? im so lost hah.. thanks xda community

Few questions about wife's sph-710

I have a few quick questions on this device, I personally deal strictly with htc devices but my wife loves this phone.
Ok a little background.
The phone has been flashed to boost. And is on stock Sprint gb27 jb, unrooted.
Where is a good thread to get this rooted? and after the recovery gets installed being it's flashed to boost anything I should not flash? Thanks guys

Check out rwilcows repository it contains everything you will need to flash.
If you flash from Odin the rooted same build you won't need to factory reset.

Not taken wrong at all. I've actually been modding phones since the g1 dream days and still very active on the HTC one xl forum just havent messed with a Samsung since the boost galaxy prevail. And the read fully part you mentioned... Read some of my posts from the one xl q n a forum.. I just wanted a push in the right direction. Main concern is the rom install. Will it mess with anything that's been flashed to convert to boost? Prl?

http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic...Sprint) (SPH-D710)/Tutorials/SPHD710-Root.php
Just make sure you read, read, read. And your prl, being on Boost, will not change. And as long as you have a jb modem(gb27, gb28, or gc01), you'll have data. But if you flash a Sprint rom you'll have to research how to change mmsc in order to send mms. To avoid that, if your wife wants stock, flash a GC01(Boost) rom after you root. Here's mine, deodexed, debloated, and since it's stock, you can build it up to your wife's liking. Good luck, happy flashing:thumbup:

By the way, if you flashed the phone to Boost you're better off just keeping a stock Boost ROM handy.
That way you're not having to mod the MMS settings to get it to work right.
From there you can pick up a custom kernel/recovery and flash away.
(I personally recommend mine but there are others to choose from...)
Welcome and enjoy!
