Hi -
I'm looking at purchasing a used USCC Galaxy S3 and have a few questions:
1 - Is it possible to flash any clean esn/imei USCC S3 over to Cricket? If not, is there anything to look for? (ie model number, Android or firmware version, etc).
2 - Is there anything that cannot be flashed over? (ie - I assume 4G isn't, unless I have a new 4G SIM card for it - but anything else that won't flash like MMS?)
Thank you - I would love to purchase this phone but if I end up not being able to flash I'm out a new phone for quite a long time.

In short - no, there are libraries that need to be copied over with the apks. Also, you may get better responses in the actual t-mobile GS3 forum.

Ok so basically all i have done is i rooted it. i tried following this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1718665 but i get
to step one and i looked in every folder i dont have a nv_data.bin file. i also tried googleing it but that took me to some website to pay for an unlock code which i think is a scam, is it? but i would like to do it for free is there any other tutorials you guys can link me to? and help me. and Will i need to cut my Tmobile sim card so it fits in the S3? it doesnt seem to just fit? Please help thanks!
Follow instructions in this thread to unlock your S3. I have done it, and it works fine (as long as you follow everything).
Pretty straight forward.

Hey guys,
I am brand new to rooting Android devices and have a few questions.
1) Do I have to install a new Kernal to be rooted?
2) Can I root my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 regardless of when Sprint pushes updates? How does carrier updates effect my rooted device once it is rooted?
3) How do I backup my stock GN2 incase I do something wrong so I can go back to factory?
4) I see videos at Galaxynoteroot.com that seem good for the Sprint variant, as well as on here. Which is best to use, most videos on how to root the sprint version of the GN2 are from October or November of 2012.
5) Use a toolkit or not?
6) Can I root, keep touchwiz, use Go Launcher, and find a way to enable Multiview for all apps since its rooted?
Thanks guys, appreciate the help. I really would like to get a handle on the basics as this is my first attempt to root, and this phone is pricey! So I will wait for your help, any and all advice appreciated.

Hi guys,i have this phone which is unlocked..on the back it says at&t but it works on my number here in Montenegro(Europe),so i want to update it..i cant update it with OTA,so my choice is up to Kies..but i am afraid if i update it with kies that my phone will lock for that at&t and i want be able to use it,is that true?Does anyone have experiance like that,i d really use a help.Thanks
If your phone is indeed unlocked and working in your country as of now, updating its firmware will not lock it back to AT&T.
In others words, flashing a ROM does not affect the lock status of a device regardless of the mean used to flash it.
Happy flashing!
This is completely true. A phone that is unlocked for use on other carriers will stay unlocked no matter what firmware is installed on it...and this includes the stock versions that are available via Kies.
Thank you for quick answering,i appreciate this

Hello folks!
I have a Rooted Canadian Carrier rogers galaxy note 2 flashed with Clean ROM ACE 4.9.0 and running android 4.1.2....
Basically I want to sell it to a person who is going to use it on WIND MOBILE (AWS freq carrier)...and i have no idea if this is going to work with the hardware provided on the board or do i need to flash the wind modem to this phone.
below thread talks about US phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34661189
not sure if this applies to me, i have seen local ppl doing it without a problem...
If someone had that experience (a step by step procedure) and would like to share this please do so, as I don't want to pay for the unlock but wanted to do it myself:fingers-crossed:
please let me know! :crying:
As far as I know rogers is gsm and requires a sim card. Whats your model number? This area is for the sprint cdma l900. You might want to look in the att or tmobile forums. Goodluck
