Hey guys this is my first post so please forgive me if my searching skills aren't up to par, but I did make an attempt before I started this thread. I bought a Galaxy Note II off craigslist from a guy and it was actually flashed to cricket. I'm trying to figure out how to flash it back to sprint. I've tried a ##786# reset and a ##data# reset neither of which worked. The phone is still saying welcome to cricket when I try to activate. Can anyone help please?

The ONLY way ro rever back to sprint settings you will need to odin stock. Dont matter how many times you try your phone will still be flashed to cricket when I had my s3 accidentally odin back to stock because cricket could not flash it. When completely bone stock and lost flash. So maybe that'll work.

Basically i purchased a used Sprint Galaxy Nexus on Ebay eventually to be used on page plus cellular. However im trying to atleast update the phone to 4.1. Or whatever official release is out for the Sprint G Nexus but its not finding it.
I ended/cleared data of the Google service framworks app...but that hasnt worked. I just need some further guidance on what could possibly be wrong. Trying to make sure the person i purchased it from didnt mess it up or something.

the latest official factory image for sprint is 4.1.1 download from Here then flash it using adb command see Here
I've searched for 2 days, tried most threads that I can find. I've been flashing roms for a couple of years now, put pulled a rookie mistake and flashed a 7000 rom for my tmo t889 Note 2 and wiped the IMEI in the process. Not cool. Everything else seems to have comeback from the NANROID back up that I created through recovery and I was fortunate enough to run a back up prior to the flash in AROMA so I have the efs.tar.gz back up folder on the internal memory of my phone. Unfortunatly, I cant seem to find a clear cut prcess for restoring the back up. I'm willing to read and learn, but need to be pointed in the right direction for a current fix for this. Please help if you can, I'd love to have my new toy back for our road trip this weekend
Thanks in advance!!

The AROMA installer that came with your N7100 ROM is also meant to backup an N7100 /efs partition. Look into NV item and IMEI repair for the LTE Note 2 (889, 317, 7105) or the GT-I9305 (International LTE GS3).
So I tried three times tonight to use either the toolkit, cf-root and OneClick to root and install twrp...
Each and every time I got twrp I tried flashing a rom and before rebooting after the flash, twrp tells me it appears I don't have root. WTF? I even used root checker to verify...
And after I choose to install superuser it soft bricks my phone to the point where it won't boot and sticks on the boot screen (black with white Samsung Galaxy Note II) and does nothing.
I am stumped. Anybody have an idea why this is happening? Do I have a rogue device that will not cooperate???
Thanks.

What is the model number of your device? Also you can just screenshot your about phone.

Aren't all Sprint Note II's SPH-L900?
Yes they are. But some have been asking questions and before I give out wrong info I wanted to be sure you had the right model number. Lots of att note 2 users asking questions lately.

I just flashed it back to stock and I guess I'm gonna leave it that way. Too much hassle to try and keep root with twrp. Just pisses me off that this device is not functioning like the last Note II I had...
Hello,
I flashed my phone from a custom rom back to stock Odexed L900PALC and then used the latest SPH-L900) MC2 modem but now I have no network access.
I then tried to go back to the backup made in TeoWin Rec. Project but no dice; still no network.
What do I need to do to restore mobile network access? I can't even make phone calls.
Thank you for your time.
I just remembered:
When I did perform the factory resets I got a "Internal Error: 1500" when Hands Free Activation was attempted.
Hope that helps...

I understand.
Nevermind ...
Problem resolved at Sprint Store after reverting to stock...
Hi everyone,
I'm really desperate for any information that can help me. Please be kind here...I haven't done anything techy stuff like this before.
Here's the situation.
My phone was rooted with supersu since I got it (my colleague helped to do it), but due to an issue with my international roaming, I decided after 1 year to try and unroot and upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.2/3
However, upon unrooting, i found that I could not upgrade due to the count and decided that I had to try and root it again to use triangle away.
Here is where it gets FUBAR.
I ran Odin and flashed the following:
I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5
Samsung-Updates.com-KERNEL-GT-I9305-SIN-I9305XXBMB2-1359977044
My phone was still working then, but I wasn't too sure how to install the binary until many tries later ...
But somehow because I didn't know how to install the binary, I ran the "Auto Root": CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar.md5
After which, my screen flashed blue ...
When it wouldn't boot up, I flashed:Samsung-Updates.com-KERNEL-GT-I9305-SIN-I9305XXBMB2-1359977044
And did a factory reset.
The hard and soft buttons are working, but the touch screen is dead. Thinking it was a OS issue, I flashed the stock rom: I9305XXALI9_I9305OLBALI8_I9305DXALI7_HOME.tar.md5 1.2Gb file
And right now, no change. Hard and Soft buttons working, touch screen is dead....
Anybody?

As long as something is working it is not bricked. A brick means completely dead, like a brick. Perhaps the ribbon cable came loose from the touchscreen.
This is the Sprint US variant S3 section. From everything you posted you have an International model. You are in the wrong section.
Remember search is your best friend, Have a great day!

Or he has revealed the root cause of the problem, if he actually does have the Sprint version
