What? I meant that Boost has had the Galaxy S II on their site.
If you want a Boost modem you can flash the tar in Odin, there was a leak on here.

Anyone that has an actual Boost phone will want to BOLO for FI22.
Source dropped which confirms it will be next OTA.

Yes, the hardware is identical, just re-branded. The fact us sprint users can flash the boost firmware ensures the possibly.

Anybody have the sprint epic touch flashed to boost with working 4g now?

I'm not sure if the system will work like that. I think depending on the donor phone. The system creates a working 4G for your phone. For example, if you used a normal LG 3G based phone. The system does not register you as a working 4G phone. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks. That makes sense actually i was just thinking that since the official boost one came out it would be a way to get us on 4g

that is exactly correct. the donor must be 4g. sprint imei codes will not activate on boost or that is the story they are telling to sell phones

i actually flashed mine to boost and have so much truble... first of all my brother has sprint airave and that interferes with my phone. cant text make nor receive calls. it only works when i leave the house.. the bad thing is that i work under some apartment buildings and someone has an airave which is bad for me...
Does anyone knows if there is a fix to this..????

There should be no reason you to have issues at home because your brother has sprint. I have many friends that have boost that come over a lot without issues. Perhaps something on your settings are wrong when you flashed it.

Did you ever find out your issue? Kind of in the same situation here.

[Q] Will I bricking my phone

I want to install the official UVDLJA T-Mobile Rom on my Galaxy S3 and then install Frosty Jb. I have the T999v of Videotron one. Will my phone gonna be bricked or not? And my network gonna work also?
Thank you

You're doomed bro. Turn back immediately.

Should be fine as long as you dont change your modem. I suggest you use mobile odin and unselect the modem. I did this with my t999v wind mobile and its fine.

I asked the same question with similar responses. But could those that had success maybe give a bit more detail on how they managed to odin the TMO stock? It passes the md5 but then fails when flashing, I have flashed numerous times in odin with no problem. Maybe an obvious requirement I am not aware of (stock recovery stock download or some such thing)

Thanks for the answer. I have another question. Before I turn to Frosty, my mobile network was only 3G and H+ but now with frosty, its only the 4G icon. So with frosty im on real 4g or its only a "fake" icon?

T-Mobile has no real 4g. Some roms are coded to just show E and 4g for 3g, H, and H+, while other roms break it down more

Well, how much data have you used? You could be getting throttled especially if you've used lots of data in short amount of time.

T999UVLH2 is your baseband version. Then i would try flashing the T999UVDLJC baseband and test it out.

There is a new mdm5 baseband out. Im sure you cant search and find it here.

I flashed wicked v10 on my friends tmo s3, were getting slow speeds as well. Gonna try a different radio

I have the same problem in a certain part of Seattle where my hspa+ speed is around 4 - 10 kilobytes per second download..
Guess to many people using it

I don't think it's the rom itself. Try a different modem and report the findings. I'm on Wicked v10 in souther cali with latest modem and I'm getting great speeds. Can it be on tmobile end updating/refarming towers?

Wow I was just trying to find out if others are having the same problem and Bam I see this. My download speeds start high then go slow. Hopefully it's the modem
I noticed it didn't start until I used the new T999UVDMD5
Edit: nope tried other modems and problem is still there

Do you get different results during different times of day? Could be network traffic. Or if they're doing work on any towers it could also cause problems like that.

Indeed tmobile is upgrading their hardware and adding towers now that their LTE is spreading to more cities. Also since the merger didn't go through with At&t they are upgrading to compete in general.

Call support to see if they are working on the network in your area.
If not, try the other modems in my baseband thread.

[Q] No service at work. Any help?

Ive noticed since I moved offices, that in my office building I get absolutely no service whatsoever. And there is no wifi password available to use wifi via my phone. So today as I was leaving work and finally got service again, I had 12 missed calls, 5 texts, and 3 voicemails. Is there a better modem to flash that can help? Thanks!

Not exactly. Different locations have different best modems. You just have to try them and see.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Could anyone suggest an updated modem, or one they have had luck with if they are from the Chicago-land area?

You could check the map in the modem thread too. I know its a jumbled mess now, but the info can still be useful.

Do you think you could message me about what modem/radio might work better once that forum is sorted out? It really sucks not being able to use my phone at work for 8 hours. Thanks

I may not be able to unfortunately. I messed around a little before and got nowhere. May have to start a new map.
Have you checked T-Mobiles coverage map yet? There just may not be a signal there in the first place.

I never had a problem with my Blaze there. Even at home with the S3 I get maybe 2 bars. Which leads me to believe its the modem. On my Blaze I had an updated modem that made data very fast.

Can I use UVLI6 which is a 4.1.1 modem on a 4.1.2 rom I am currently using? Would that be compatible? i cant remember which way compatibility goes :/

Any modem, any rom, any build. Only make sure you use the right models modems, which it sounds like you are

You can use any modem version as long as it's specifically for your phone.

This is just strange... in roughly a year of doing this I think you're the first to report that happening. 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 modems have always worked on 4.1.2, and any other combo has worked as well. There are people who still use the LH2 (ics) modem because it still performs better than any other for them.
I think you may have been seeing it function normally though. When idle, its supposed to drop to UMTS to save power and bandwidth. If you check while a transfer is occurring you will see it change to HSPAP.

Has anyone else found another modem that they now use that gives them better signal/data speeds for their Tmobile T999? My work building is a complete dead zone for Tmobile, so I am hoping flashing another modem works. Otherwise, im not sure what else I can do.

I have to refer you to my initial response here. A modem that gives better speed and signal for me, might be one of the worst for you.
Just something to consider, you probably could test 2-3 different ones each day at work. Maybe more. If your main issue is signal, then flash, check service, if none then flash another right away. I could probably flash 5 different ones on a 15 min break if I was only looking for improved signal. Might be a better way than waiting for someone to tell you what worked for them, then testing only that the next day. Its your phone and your time though, so its your call. Just tryin to help
