I am not new to rooting. But this I am curious about. I have the Galaxy Note 2 btw.
Anyways, someone wants to trade my wife's iphone 5 for the galaxy s3 and a psp go. Is it possible to put the Unlocked Verizon S3 on to the sprint network?
If so what is the process. As I believe that it will have different radios, rom, and such. Do I need to root the phone and and install sprint firmware, radios, and stock rom.
Looking for some insight asap. Thanks

Dont think it's possible, and if it is.. I doubt 4G will work (Just going off of us forcing 3G roaming on Verizon's towers but unable to get 4G. If i'm wrong, please someone correct me! Thanks.
I believe it's the phones hardware that's different.

I believe it IS possible, but I wouldnt know how
As far as firmware, Verizon is also CDMA so thats not the problem. Maybe check over in the Verizon S3 forums?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
Yes. I've done it. No 4G however. Similar steps as to putting a CDMA GS3 to Boost, etc.

I would have to agree with you I'm pretty sure it's possible I'm just not sure the phone would be fully functional I know that the CDMA should work the same. The only thing I would question is 4g not really sure how Verizon's network works in comparison to Sprint's. For the most part the hardware should be the same except for the 4g portion which supports WiMAX and LTE 4g not sure Verizon's version supports WiMAX it may just be crippled from a software standpoint.

I've asked a friendly sprint tech about this before and he said it involves getting a "donor" sprint phone and "masking" the ESN of the Verizon phone with that of the donor.
Sent from my SPH-L710
Ah yes, you would need the donor phone to flash it over to Sprint.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
yes you have to use original esn from the original sprint phone you are no longer going to use
that has to go in the verizon phone
make sure you disable the sprint phone or it becomes cloning and that is illegal

Does AT&Ts version have cm7 24 hours after launch and we dont?
Yes, its spotty but the fact remains that it is there. I just think its unfair.

Maybe they have an official stock rom. Small changes from the internal gs2.

I'm not surprised. They are GSM so they can get everything from the International GS2 instantly.

This exactly. The CM devs have to deal with both CDMA and Wimax whereas the AT&T version is basically the same as the international version.

And guess what he actually posted in the at&t sgsII cm7 thread complaining... These types of people ruing it for eveyone... @op- think about it, can a og galaxy s 2 work on at&t when unlocked? Yes... So the rom will work on the at&t version because the phones are the same thing... We are cdma and its a lot more complicated to get that working, and none of the team hacksung has the phone... Yet

If so what kind of d/l speeds u getting? Thinking of ditching tmo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well, the Nexus doesn't use AT&T's LTE that they are currently setting up across the country, but it does utilize AT&T's HSPA+ network (which they market as 4G, but is much slower than real LTE).
Here are screenshots from the Verge's review of the Galaxy Nexus:

These are speeds in New York city. Remarkably good compared to many other HSPA+ phones.
Damn that's pretty slow....29 for skyrocket on LTE..tmo hspA+ on gs2 is high teens but I wanted to ditch tmo. I'm just torn between devices.
Can get skyrocket for $149...but really wanted nexus.

The Galaxy Nexus is HSPA+, not LTE. You'll get solid speeds but nothing near LTE of course. All depending on your location and a myriad of other factors.

If you want LTE, then your option looks like Verizon when they come out with it. The international GN won't support ATT or Tmo 4G

Well... AT&T's "4G" is HSPA+. They actually make the distinction between "4G" and "4G LTE". T-mo also calls HSPA+ "4G".
So specifically yes, the international Galaxy Nexus Supports AT&T's 4G, and T-mobile's 4G, but not AT&T's 4G LTE.
Hey, I won a Galaxy S III From T-Mobile's Spin to win contest and I have some questions residing with the Tmobile Varient.
I do not use T-Mobiles Network, will the Galaxy S3 work on At&t's GSM network without any problems?
Should be good but I don't think you will get 4g

Congrats! So jealous. I'm surprised that Tmo didn't at least give you a month or so of free service. If you can get the phone unlocked, it can be used on AT&T's HSPA+ network. The one thing I liked about the Tmo variant was the additional HSPA+ 1900 MHz band, which is what AT&T uses, so it is the most universal GSM/HSPA+ S3 model! You will get HSPA+ on Tmo, Wind, Rogers, and AT&T (as well as overseas).
Only got the AT&T version because my company pays for the phone and service, so I can't complain either.

Say if I buy a new phone, how would I transfer my old number that's on my epic4gt onto my new phone? And in the future can I switch it back to my epic 4g touch?

Your phone number will transfer. As it attached to your account and not your phone. And if you bought your new phone and still have your E4GT you can always re activate your E4GT.

FYI, if you're on SERO you have to call and speak to an agent. If you try it online it will tell you that you have to change your account type.
I did a search in this forum about the bluetooth problems and I see a bunch of users with the same problem I have... I have the latest OTA update on my galaxy nexus and cannot pair my phone with my Pioneer AppRadio in my car via bluetooth, it discovers the radio and as soon as I click to pair, it skips the sign up box and just comes up WRONG PASSWORD OR PASS KEY, and after scouring the net for solutions I have yet found one besides going down to the previous version, I can do that, and dont mind it, but I have a soft spot for custom rom's on android phones.
Here's my main question: I need a good stable ROM that bluetooth will work with, and also one that will work with 4G LTE, can someone please lead me in the right direction?
Little about me: I know how to flash items in custom recovery just fine. I have owned 2 previous android phones: evo4g, and galaxy S2, and both were updated regularly with custom ROMs. I had a leaked version of HTC sense5.0 on the evo, the charger port came loose from the motherboard I upgraded to the galaxy S2, you should have seen the sprint store rep when he saw it! haha
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP!!
I'm pretty sure GNex lacks the hardware for LTE, so custom ROM's won't give you that ability.
