I have stock rom (rooted) and my Sprint G33 keeps nagging me to update to Mb1 I think it is. The 157mb update. Well if I accept the update will it even work seeing I don't have stock recovery and if it did work would it knock my phone back onto the Sprint network? I don't wanna spend 70 bucks to have my phone flashed again but the update notice is driving me crazy. I also wanted to try out other roms but I didn't know if that would affect the Page Plus flash or not. Thank you to anyone that can give me some advice and/or help me.

So, my company gave us GS3s... And being a fan of custom roms, it is the first thing I did. Well through exchange our Network Admin could tell that it wasn't legit and told me to get it back to stock... Well, I flashed I747UCLG1 via odin and everything looks perfect. The problem is that I cannot upgrade to the latest firmware to I747UCLH9 that was release two weeks ago(ish). I keep getting a communication error, and Keis tells me I am already running the latest firmware.
At&t told me to return it because I am under the 30 day return period, but I would rather not get in trouble with work. Anyone have any ideas on how to get I747UCLH9 on my phone, or better yet how to get the phone to successfully use the OTAs....
Any help would be great!
did you try going to LH1 first, and then to LH9?
it was some time ago that I installed LH1 -- and then jumped to a JB leak, so I by-passed LH9 entirely but I remember liking LH1 and that is still the baseband I am on
So been while since I've done much rom flashing. Had an EVO for 2+ years and tried lots of ROMS, but then got the sprint GNEX because I just wanted vanilla android without having to mess with ROMS as much. As such, I'm just running stock 4.1.1, with it rooted for a few apps and wifi tethering which I flashed after rooting. Looking to update to the new stock Sprint 4.2.1 firmware, keeping root and wifi tethering. Back on the EVO, every time there was a new firmare update, someone would post a "stock rooted" ROM (not that I used them), that didn't have anything done to it, but can't seem to find that with the latest Sprint GNEX update, only one that seems to come close has been fiddled with, deodexed, causing some issues. I'm also not used to flashing without my data being on a removable SD card. So I'm wondering, is there a way to just flash a rooted version of the Sprint firmware, keeping my data and wifi tethering (or by just flashing a new 4.2.1 wifi tethering patch), or can I use OTA rootkeeper, flash the OTA update, and restore root? I've got latest TWRP recovery btw, which it seems I would have to change back to stock recovery to flash the OTA update correct? Thanks for any direction anyone can provide
First off, im not sure about wifi tethering, but it is an option on gsm android settings. I would use OTA rootkeeper, but you need the stock recovery first to accept the ota. Did you check this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. Swear I tried to search other threads before asking but somehow missed that one, looks like it should tell me what I need. Think I was looking too much in the development forum for a full ROM to flash, and missed that thread in the general forum about just applying the update. Thanks again!!
Alright folks, bear with me here...this one is odd because I've searched and all the SG3 references for 4.1.2. are custom ROM's. I was having some wonky issues with my Stock Rooted SG3 so I rolled it all the way back using the STOCK ICS version of the SG3 ROM for LP710. After I rolled it back...I freaked out because although the phone was fine, calls could be made, texts came in and all other functionality was good, however, I was getting a "SIM CARD NOT FOUND" message on my notification pane constantly. I was worried I had taken the stock ROM for the wrong carrier.
Instead of flashing it to the newest JB version of the sprint stock ROM...I chose to let it take the updates, see what happens. All in all I believe the phone took 4-5 updates total...and when it was all said and done, about halfway through the updates the sim card issue was gone. But then after I rooted it...I was using it a few hours and I realized some things just seemed different. So i grabbed my wifes SG3...completely stock non rooted phone. I noticed FIRST off that her version of JB was 4.1.1 and MY version is 4.1.2.
Did I miss something? What is Sprints latest ROM version for our SG3's? I've tried updating HER phone and it says it's "UP TO DATE" on ver. 4.1. What gives, anyone know what's up?
***EDIT*** I DID find some mention of 4.1.2 showing up on some Sprint users in diff. locations, but if I got it, why has my wife's phone not gotten it. Anyone else seeing this in Az. or otherwise? I also loaded up Kies and it says "your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies." WTH? All the updates were OTA updates...

The latest version of SG3 for Sprint is MB1 (v4.1.2). I don't really have a good answer to why your wife's phone hasn't been getting the OTA updates (there have been 2 since LJ7: MA6 and MB1). If I recall correctly, MA6 was the one that brought you up to 4.1.2.
If you want to bring your wife's phone up-to-date, you can always flash the "purely stock files" over on Freeza's thread. You'd have to flash the updates starting at her version and each subsequent one (i.e. LJ7_to_MA6 before flashing MA6_to_MB1).
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the speedy response topherk. Well, I figured it had to be legitimate and I saw updates behave this way back when I was on my EVO....but it not being supported in Kies kind of worries me.
My wifes gs3 has yet to get the update either. As far as the sim card issue i know that was a probably a while back with rooting, haven't seen much on the issue in 3-4 months.

Interesting...worth noting is that although my version is 4.1.2, I don't seem to have the reported functionality (such as multi view page buddy, etc) and a few other things. ?????

There is no multiview for the Sprint S3 in 4.1.2. You will have to waitnuntil we get 4.2.

Ahh, ok Kenny, thanks good to know... I guess I'll just hang out with this build for a while and see what gives. I noticed that when I have the keyboard up, i can tap the T/Pencil icon and I can spell like on a tablet w/stylus. I don't remember being able to do that before. (reminds me of Palm O.S. although the Palm writing style doesn't work here)
I'm looking for all the help I can get.
I have a Sprint GS4 mini and I got this for my girl. all my phones I've always picked it up directly at sprint so it was always activated so I wasn't away that I would have problems activating her phone that I bought online.
Trying to be proactive so once I gave her the phone nothing would need to be done. I rooted it and installed a custom rom so I could have the bloatware and everything setup nicely for her.
I found out they can't activate it because of the custom rom and it didn't have the sprint PRL. I know the easy answer would be to flash stock, but the 1 stock file that's floating around online does not work, it crashes in ODIN.
I have the Dev of the ROM working with me but i'm hoping to help him and me by putting this out to everyone to see if anyone has any thoughts or a good stock firmware.
Also is it possible for anyone running SPHL-520 to upload a nandroid w/o Data so I can try to restore. I'm lost on what I can do now.
Thanks guys.
About a year and a half ago, I gave my father my T999L after I upgraded the phone. Since then it appears a 4.3 update has been released and in order to use his Galaxy Gear watch that he wanted for his birthday, he needs to upgrade. He wants to stick with a stock (or stock based) ROM and I need to get it taken care of for him today. When I had the phone, I was running Dandroid. Because I rooted, installed custom recovery, etc. it reads as modified software and will not receive the OTA even though I flashed returned it to stock before I gave it to him.
Any help would be great - apparently the 4.1.2 bootloader won't work with the 4.3 ROMs? Anyone have a link to something I can just use ODIN to flash and get it all done in one step? I assume the link here can do it? Hopefully...
