How to flash to another Carrier (Cricket,Metropcs,Etc)

i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data

Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.

Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

Whoa, what happened to your original post?

So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

It is flashable to metropcs? I read somewhere that the sprint one is a qualcom based phone. How do you know forsure? They said it has the qualcom sticker in it when you buy it

It can be flash to metropcs

If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?

As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

Any way to repost the tutorial for us who want to just change the PRL?

How would you get the ESN into MetroPCS's inventory if there's NO MORE Houdini and being that it's a ESN beginning with 99XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
PM if needed! Thanks!

Sph-L700 sprint galaxy nexus
No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.

What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.

You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...

At&t galaxy s3 to T-Mobile help

I got my unlocked s3 so I can use it on T-Mobile and hate edge so I was wondering if flashing the blaze modem would allow me to get 4g like the at&t galaxy note did.

Blaze is a .gs2, it would probably brick. I wouldn't risk it. If anything I'd try the t-mobile .gs3 radio.

I been thinking...instead of messing with all that and end up with a brick, why just not sell it on ebay and buy an actual Tmobile one or maybe trade with someone willing to. I would look at the selling price for an AT&T GS3 on ebay and how much would a Tmobile run and if it's not that much difference then pay the difference than end up with a possible brick. Plus I have read some forums where if you flash some things that are not meant for your phone you can even mess up the IME on your phone with no way to flash it back at the moment until someone comes up with a solution for it.

Not trying to be a jerk. Just a friendly reminder that this is not development related and needs to be in general or QA. I would repost there and report your thread to a moderator before the pitch forks come out.

When I put my friends note to t mobile it was the modem you had to flash , if your set on doing it , read a bunch on ways to do the note WITHOUT a custom Rom then find the same files you use in that ( the modem and if I remember right there was one other thing ) then go to the t mobile section in the sgs 3 thread and ask for help finding those files , but do a lot of reading first cause it would be a shame to brick your awesome phone

buy the t-mobile version. it doesn't work hardware not supported

im looking into this as well, i had the att note and flashed the tmobile modem worked like a charm so now im looking to do same with s3. if i find anything ill let you know

I don't thonk it will work at all. Att's S3 is LTE, correct. Tmobiles is not. Two different hw radios used.
If you do try it please post your results for others!

I seriously wouldnt count on it. The two networks run on different technologies. Im pretty sure the hw is different due to this.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Have you guys tried the radios in the dev section by wildchld? I'm not sure it will work either but maybe worth a try. It has a script that backs up current radio and you can revert back. Atleast on T-Mobile s3 it does. Just need to reflash the restore zip to go back to previous radio. Again try at your own risk. There's a huge chance you can brick your device.

I don't think it matters if the Gs3 from T-Mobile doesn't have LTE, I used to have my Galaxy s2 skyrocket with LTE running on T-Mobile 3G/4G off a GS2 Hercules Modem.

Then by all means, give it a shot. I have no problem being proven wrong on stuff like this!
Just remember that was a different phone. And tmobiles radio Im pretty sure was confirmed to NOT support LTE. So they are different.
I'm definately looking forward to hearing someones results after trying! Just do some research on the two radios, and make sure the sw modem is on the same partition for each phone. (I think it will be. But if its not you could end up with serious problems)
Good luck to whomever tries it!

Probably won't, the T-Mobile phone is pentaband so it will run 3/4G on AT&T, but their version isn't. Try it though.

Carrier Crossover...

I'm wondering if I can like flash the factory ROM/radio/bootloader for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus onto the Verizon one and basically turn it into a Sprint phone?
I know they're really the same device so I think it could be done with the Nexus Toolkit easily, but before I try I want to know if it really can be done, I know any carriers Sim Card works so why not this too?
Thanks to any that provide info

Not a chance.

verizon cdma radio will work fine on sprint, no need to try to flash a sprint one.
lte obviously will not work at all no matter what you try.
of course getting sprint to recognize the phone is another matter and more trouble then its worth considering the same phone is available on sprint with working lte.

They are not the same device. They are sufficiently different hardware that you wouldn't be able to activate even if you found a Sprint CSR that would be willing to lose their job by adding the MEID to their database

Sprint galaxy nexus on straight talk?

I just started rooting and flashing and all that and finally found my msl because I was told you need that to edit your data profile. Now before I experiment with putting my phone on a straight talk plan, does anyone know if this is actually possible and if so does anyone know step for step how to do it? I've been looking for a few months how to do it but never found anything that sounded like it would guarantee anything without having a sim card. So it's either straight talk or an 800$ bill to pay with sprint. So any pointers would be really appreciated.

Yes its possible.. ST will actually walk you through what needs to be changed and edited to get it working on ST if i were you id do it with a verizon GNex for better service

Alright cool, thanks.

OK i don't why your listening to this guy... You cannot use a sprint nexus or a Verizon nexus on straight talk since they are CDMA phones..... straight talk uses T-Mobiles and ATTs network.. You will need a new phone

Straight talk does operate as both a CDMA and GSM MVNO. That being said, the average consumer is indeed going to be limited to their GSM offering.

It is possible to get on straight talk but it will not be an easy task. You will need a donor straight talk smart phone to flash over to the galaxy nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

So really it will just be a matter of changing all the id's like my ssid msid and all that to match up with the straight talk phone right? Because I've been under the impression that all you have to do is have your msl and edit your data profile to match the phone that has the service you're trying to get. I've just never heard of it being done with a sprint phone.... This idea sounds almost nightmarish all the sudden

Every rom in the AT&T section (aka here) will work with your phone as well as some in the N7105 section but i would suggest just sticking to the At&t section

Ok kinda what he said^^^^^^^. Also everything won't work on your phone, especially anything with the AT&T modem/radio included. So I would make sure what ever you decide to use that its modem free. Since your using a T-Mobile GN2. I just loaded up SKY NOTE 9. On my TMO GN2. Works great for me to...
