Hope I dont get flamed for this but i guess getting flammed on the internet is better then messing up my girlfriend's phone . I have a Sprint GS3 and all the ROMs on the forums over there are made specifically for Sprint phones. I'm just curious as to how it works having AT&T, Rogers, Bell ect. in the same forum? Do all ROMs work for all carriers in this forum? Should I only be flashing ATT ROMs? Im nervous to have her flash something and mess her phone up...I just did the no trip root method and bumped her up to Jellybean. I'm glad y'all finally got some JB love over here! Any tips or advice on what not to do would be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: Also see people having issues with loosing their IMEI...how are people doing this? Looks like its mainly from installing custom ROMs... Looks like you can back up your IMEI, but what are these people doing to have this happen to them because I'd like to avoid that also...

No i understand that... My girlfriend has an AT&T GS3 that i just rooted for her. I was wondering if theres anything i have to worry about flashing Rogers or other carriers listed in this sections development forums? I've read something about changing APN's and other stuff that is foreign to me being on Sprint.
if it's in this section, you're most likely safe to flash it.
as for the 0 IMEI bug/glitch/thing... that's just a random thing, there's really no way to know if it'll happen the next time you flash a ROM. you just have to take precautions. backup your IMEI. if you flash your first ROM, and your IMEI is there, try to stick with that ROM.

Appreciate the response. Damn... so now every time you flash a ROM you need to not only make a nandroid but also back up your IMEI? also... i don't have an ATT GS3 in front of me...How hard is it to change your APN settings? I heard you need to mess with that sometimes if you're having LTE issues. We don't have an option like that on our phone

once you backup your IMEI, it's backed up. just don't lose your backup. so make a backup of your backup.
as for APN settings, that varies as well. it all depends on ROM, location, signal, provider, etc. but it's rather straight forward. go to your network settings, and you'll see a menu for APN. you don't need an ATT phone to see it.

Sorry didnt understand your question...
Yea hardware on i747 and i747m are the same therefore you can flash the same roms on each device. All you have to do is flash the correct modem and fix the apns for your carrier att, telus etc

Hey guys
CSpire Wireless formerly Cellular South has finally released their Galaxy S3. The model number is SCH-L710. The reason I am asking this question here and not in a different carriers forum is the L710 in model number. I don't pretend to understand why certain carriers GS3's are labeled with different model numbers, but I thought that since your GS3 and mine both have L710 I thought that possibly the hardware was closer to the same than say verizon's which is a completely different model designation. That being said I am desperate for a custom rom but don't wanna just go flashing any GS3 roms out there to see if any will work on my network. I would feel more comfortable knowing that I had a way to odin flash a stock rom in case any problems arise. Anyway if someone is kind enough and generous enough to help me locate a stock odin flashable rom, then I would be willing to help in any way I can to find a usable rom or port for my version of this great phone.
Thank you so much in advance
I went ahead and flashed the latest CM10 nightly for the Sprint version. Everything seems to be fine, except for data. I still have data, but it is very flaky and won't hardly hold a signal. I suspect it to be the PRL or CM itself.
We definitely need a stock rom for CSpire. I am willing to help any way I can.

Good luck finding that. Cspire keeps things like that unattainable. Unless *228 will work properly to update prl. Should anyone come across it please let me know. Bout to flash CM10
What about using QPST or something to pull the PRL off of a stock device? Can we get someone to do this before flashing any ROMs?
Okay. First of all, I didn't think to look at the PRL before I went and flashed the Sprint CM10. But now it says 20005. I restored my nandroid backup and pulled this PRL from my phone with QPST 2.7.374. In DFS Tool, I noticed there was a CSpire PRL 10009. I wrote this PRL to the Phone and am getting much better service on the stock TW ROM.
HOWEVER, I flashed the Sprint CM10 again and the same thing happened. It says PRL 10009, but there is little to no service and when it does have a little service, it is very flaky and eventually ends up with no data connection at all. Any more suggestions or ideas?

qpst still says no phone under the phone column no matter what i try
So far, this is what I have done:
First I used the following tool to download drivers for my phone and root ( via option 4 in the program).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
I used CWM to make a nandroid backup.
Next, I flashed the latest CM nightly for the Sprint version here:
http://get.cm/?device=d2spr
After doing this, everything worked fine, EXCEPT for data. I dialed *228 and let it do its thing. I actually had data, but the signal was extremely weak and very flaky. After messing with settings it would usually drop it altogether.
I restored my nandroid backup and noticed that although I had data, it seemed to be weaker than before ( although that may just be me).
I decided to follow the following guide on how to get the PRL from the phone:
http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-m/419514-how-get-prl-off-your-phone.html
The version of QPST on that post was outdated, so I found and used QPST 2.7.374, which I posted a link to earlier in the thread.
I managed to copy the 20005 PRL off of my phone and saved it.
I then started up DFS Tool and wrote the CSpire 10009 PRL to my phone.
I get much better service on the stock ROM, but the Sprint CM builds still do the same thing. No data.
UPDATE: I did a *228 to get back on the 20005 PRL and it is working just as well as the 10009 PRL now.
Also, as OBSt4l0n discovered, there's simultaneous voice and data. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or if this was happening before flashing roms
and PRL's.
Okay. We no longer believe it's the PRL causing the problems. More info to come. May be slower over the weekend with weekend stuff and all.

Out of curiosity, Could it be the APN's causing the issues? And from what I've seen the vzw variant seems closer to the cspire. but its hard to say. Just to try and eliminate possible causes, I would reccomend flashing this here and see if you get the same issues. http://goo-inside.me/devs/aokp/d2vzw/aokp_d2vzw_jb_build-4.zip Its AOKP for the vzw variant. I have used it as my daily driver for the past week and I'm on Sprint. Dont have to change anything in it, just flash.

Just tried this and still no data. We need a dev to look into this. Apparently there is something internal in code stopping our radio from functioning properly. I have attempted to pull my RIL file and insert it in cm10 then rebooting and no luck. Still no data. Any devs out there willing to look into this for us?

I believe being that its unlocked, and you are running att software on it, you can root it with the att guides.
When you root you are not changing anything you are just pushing on CWM and SU not system files are being changed.. when you flash ROMs you may want to use the ATT roms because the data and system files being use to pull your service are for the ATT carrier and it might interfere with the sim card.
I don't think the above poster is right. If you bought it from T-Mobile, then it may need the T-Mobile software regardless of which network you are using it on. Someone with more experience may be able to attest either way, but I think I am correct in this. If I'm not, I'll learn something new!
EDIT: I think you need to use the T-Mobile ROM, but you could root it via ATT guides as long as you are using the proper ROM. (Like, don't use Mr. Robinson's ATT JB ROM to root you T-Mobile phone).
to play it safe, i would follow the T-Mobile guides and ROMs.
i have an AT&T version that is unlocked to work with T-Mobile, but i only use the AT&T related stuff.

I have recently acquired a Sprint SGS3 SPH-L710. It was still original stock at 4.4.2, never rooted. i flashed the n2j stock rom through odin, and then I had it flashed from Sprint to PagePlus and it is working okay (still need to get 3g going) Then used cm-autoroot and installed twrp (debating on installing philz). Now the phone is ready for some rom action.
My question is since this phone is a d2spr, but flashed to PagePlus (Verizon), would it be safe or better to install a d2vzn rom vs d2spr rom?
From my research, there are settings in the roms that are molded to a specific carrier. If I am on Verizon, I do not want to install and have Sprint related settings (buildprop?) and apps, etc. Then flashing a Sprint SGS3 to Pageplus vs a Verizon SGS3, Sprint must be set to NV only, and other posts and forums (on xda and howards), I have read said this nv setting could be changed when flashing a rom, which would break the PagePlus flash. But if I install a d2vzw rom, everything else would be molded to Verizon, which is great since I am using a Verizon network. I suppose it depends on how much molding is being done and what exactly. Then of course, I do not want to brick the device flashing the wrong version. If the roms were only listed as d2lte, I wouldnt mind as much, but I have noticed some roms do have a Sprint version and a Verizon version, but I can not locate the details to compare the differences.

Flashing a d2vzw build will not trick the phone to think it is a vzw phone just more chances of you ending up with a brick.

I am now having a problem updating the APN in any 5.x rom, says not enough permissions. I tried a handful of APN apps on Google play, made them system apps, etc. it never saves or changes the apn settings. I can change and save APN in KK roms just fine though.
Did you try on WiFi it could be cause not picking up data connection

I hear you and agree 100% with flashing to alternate carriers. I would not normally do this myself, but considering I got this cell for free a couple weeks ago, I figured I might as well deal with the hassle and make the best of it.
The only problem is that I still haven't found a 100% fix. I been flashing 4.4.x roms and 5.1.1 roms trying various APN settings, apps, changes, tips, etc. Nothing seems to stick or crash when attempting to change it. Trust me I been digging all over Google, XDA, and other various droid forums.
My carrier is PagePlus/vzw, and I can not find a PagePlus APN flashable file, hmm maybe I can come across a generic Vzw one, otherwise I know the settings to put in to create a new one though. This is why I was inquirying on flashing a Verizon S3 rom in the first place. Hopefully I can come across something soon.
When I get off work I'll try to help you out

Wouldn't this be a kernel or rom issue? Generally, custom roms don't touch the baseband, only carrier OTAs.
Its a modem/baseband issue. It says,unknown baseband and all that stuff and the other radio like stuff is gone also. I believe a,baseband being flashed would resolve this issue. Everything else works like a charm.

Well I'm flashing every kind of rom. I REALLY,would just like the damn base and/modem please. I'm flashing all roms and the baseband and imei is broken on GSM on the cdma only the baseband is broken. This request of mine shouldn't be a matter of interrogation....more a matter of helping someone out who would like yo experiment and possibly find a way to run any rom on our devices. Be its cdma or GSM more or less the g920f as its global the the g920v/I/k roms or whatever is cdma.
No no sir that isn't what I'm seeking.....I require the modem so I can experiment with other roms. I need the modem.bin or the modem. I need this desperately. I don't mean to be rude but this should be simple to acquire from a well known and well experienced dev or someone like a dev. Can you or someone please help?

Djvoleur, i too have a sprint s6 thats gsm unlocked and ive tried plenty of stock/rooted kernels for our device with tmobile, att, verizon, sprint s6 edge, and even international cooked roms . Most of them boot when using your kernel . Theyll work with vkernel or unikernel, but as he was saying, although he was rude, the baseband is always unknown. No signal, sometimes you wont even see a X for no signal. Do you have any ideas i could try ? Ive got plenty sprint s6 phones to try this on and not worried about a brick. I know the risks. I titanium backup restore my personal phone nearly 3 times a week to figure this out. Not enough people bounce ideas off one another in this forum
Have you tried a note 5 rom? I would assume the issues from a note Sprint note one wouldn't be the same as the connectivity settings would be the same. The issue would probably be more of a hardware/programming problem. At this point, I think it would be an easier port since our device isn't as similar to the international device as we once thought it could be.
Never tried note 5 rom . I dont think that'd work without a port of device drivers n such
Ive done a lot of reading in regards to this. almost every place I read says other roms should flash on device not of those carriers. reason im investigating this is because CM for sprint has all the sms issues. and after reading through all the tmo roms im not seeing anyone mention sms issues. every time I try to flash another carriers rom it reads that they are carrier specific and fail. is there a way I can make another carriers rom flash to sprint. my device is unlocked, though im using a sprint sim for lte and from what im reading also, its just a matter of an apn setting for sprint, and/or a radio flash for sprint. anyways, comments?

That is kind of unfortunate if that's the case that SMS doesn't work right out of the gate on Sprint CM ROM's then. While I have gotten used to it, it does get annoying after a while having to reconfigure using the *#*#4636#*#* method every time.
I have tried to flash a few other carrier based ROMs via TWRP but they typically fail anyways (which is probably a good thing). I don't think I've ever actually successfully flashed another carrier based ROM through TWRP.

You can't just flash a tmobile rom on this device. It sounds like to me you need to get your phone unlocked to use tmobile sim. I would suggest http://www.idoneapps.com to sim unlock your phone.
