Okay so I have a sph-d710vmu with virgin mobile. I flashed the epic 4g touch Goodness rom and since I have had no service. Also my ESN is not showing in the settings and neither is my phone number. I have tried restoring, new roms, fix permissions, and everything else I have read up on. Everything I try to find on unroot for this phone is for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch, has anyone else ran into this problem, and did I cause it by flashing a sprint rom to a virgin mobile phone?
Um what about this?
yea I tried that one rwilco is my main source for all my tars and zip files, but it still didn't help. I still have no signal, no imei, no phone number under my settings, about phone. but thank you for just trying to help me.

A sph-d710 is the same whether it's sprint, vm, or boost. Flashing a sprint rom will work on vm, you just have to change the mmsc url. Have you tried flashing a jb modem? And all the epic 4g touch unroot stuff you read will work on your phone, because that's what you have. Good luck!

You need to odin an ICS oneclick. Getprop your MSL and then master reset and reprovision. The odin a rooted. JB one click if its JB you're wanting to be on.

Hey guys
CSpire Wireless formerly Cellular South has finally released their Galaxy S3. The model number is SCH-L710. The reason I am asking this question here and not in a different carriers forum is the L710 in model number. I don't pretend to understand why certain carriers GS3's are labeled with different model numbers, but I thought that since your GS3 and mine both have L710 I thought that possibly the hardware was closer to the same than say verizon's which is a completely different model designation. That being said I am desperate for a custom rom but don't wanna just go flashing any GS3 roms out there to see if any will work on my network. I would feel more comfortable knowing that I had a way to odin flash a stock rom in case any problems arise. Anyway if someone is kind enough and generous enough to help me locate a stock odin flashable rom, then I would be willing to help in any way I can to find a usable rom or port for my version of this great phone.
Thank you so much in advance
I went ahead and flashed the latest CM10 nightly for the Sprint version. Everything seems to be fine, except for data. I still have data, but it is very flaky and won't hardly hold a signal. I suspect it to be the PRL or CM itself.
We definitely need a stock rom for CSpire. I am willing to help any way I can.

Good luck finding that. Cspire keeps things like that unattainable. Unless *228 will work properly to update prl. Should anyone come across it please let me know. Bout to flash CM10
What about using QPST or something to pull the PRL off of a stock device? Can we get someone to do this before flashing any ROMs?
Okay. First of all, I didn't think to look at the PRL before I went and flashed the Sprint CM10. But now it says 20005. I restored my nandroid backup and pulled this PRL from my phone with QPST 2.7.374. In DFS Tool, I noticed there was a CSpire PRL 10009. I wrote this PRL to the Phone and am getting much better service on the stock TW ROM.
HOWEVER, I flashed the Sprint CM10 again and the same thing happened. It says PRL 10009, but there is little to no service and when it does have a little service, it is very flaky and eventually ends up with no data connection at all. Any more suggestions or ideas?

qpst still says no phone under the phone column no matter what i try
So far, this is what I have done:
First I used the following tool to download drivers for my phone and root ( via option 4 in the program).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
I used CWM to make a nandroid backup.
Next, I flashed the latest CM nightly for the Sprint version here:
http://get.cm/?device=d2spr
After doing this, everything worked fine, EXCEPT for data. I dialed *228 and let it do its thing. I actually had data, but the signal was extremely weak and very flaky. After messing with settings it would usually drop it altogether.
I restored my nandroid backup and noticed that although I had data, it seemed to be weaker than before ( although that may just be me).
I decided to follow the following guide on how to get the PRL from the phone:
http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-m/419514-how-get-prl-off-your-phone.html
The version of QPST on that post was outdated, so I found and used QPST 2.7.374, which I posted a link to earlier in the thread.
I managed to copy the 20005 PRL off of my phone and saved it.
I then started up DFS Tool and wrote the CSpire 10009 PRL to my phone.
I get much better service on the stock ROM, but the Sprint CM builds still do the same thing. No data.
UPDATE: I did a *228 to get back on the 20005 PRL and it is working just as well as the 10009 PRL now.
Also, as OBSt4l0n discovered, there's simultaneous voice and data. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or if this was happening before flashing roms
and PRL's.
Okay. We no longer believe it's the PRL causing the problems. More info to come. May be slower over the weekend with weekend stuff and all.

Out of curiosity, Could it be the APN's causing the issues? And from what I've seen the vzw variant seems closer to the cspire. but its hard to say. Just to try and eliminate possible causes, I would reccomend flashing this here and see if you get the same issues. http://goo-inside.me/devs/aokp/d2vzw/aokp_d2vzw_jb_build-4.zip Its AOKP for the vzw variant. I have used it as my daily driver for the past week and I'm on Sprint. Dont have to change anything in it, just flash.

Did you try flashing anyone of this odin one clicks? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
Can't tell what you exactly did to flash on verizon so why not just start back fresh on sprint? Ofcourse backup your stuff first..
I had a Droid X from Verizon that I had flashed to boost. If I wanted to flash a rom I had to put the rom I wanted on the phone, then have it flashed to boost. My point is, flashing anything rom-wise would have made it a Verizon phone again. Like doing a factory reset. If you did a factory reset, it'd load sprint stuff again.
Odin safe recovery
Wipe data, cache, etc.
Flash a modem (maybe not necessary but I'd do it)
Flash a rom
Enjoy.

Friend gave me a new S2 today, never been turned on or activated. Didn't ask any questions.
So my question is, should I unlock it? Is unlocking it free?
Whats the easiest method to root the phone with?
What kernel & rom would you suggest using?
P.S. I'm not going to be using this as a 'phone' I'll be using it more for entertainment purposes like gaming and videos & such, looking for a rom with the most amount of free ram & internal memory available.
Thanks.
p.s. It's a boost mobile phone, SPH - D710, Samsung Galaxy S2
yes you can use it for free if your mot using it as a phone. As for the rom, I like CM10 or PARANOID ANDROID.

Before you start playing around with it make sure you are up to date on how to safely flash with this.
Learn which kernels are safe - I use Agat63's repacks but there are other options.
There's a sticky on top of the General forum that has the rundown.
And this phone cannot be "unlocked" as there isn't a SIM for it.
You can flash it over to other CDMA carriers if you want - I'm guessing it is a Sprint phone flashed over to Boost. Boost just got it so I can't imagine someone plunking $500 and just giving it away.

Yes, u just need to download the USB drivers and Odin to your PC, boot into download mode vol- & power, and flash a rooted rom, or kernel+recovery. If you go the kernel/recovery only route you'll need to flash su.zip and subin.zip thru recovery to gain root. Alternatively you can download a rooted Odin one-click package and run it from your PC while in download mode to gain root. No-data versions retain user data the others wipe and install clean. When using regular Odin your files go in the PDA slot and uncheck f-reset

Same thing, first it was the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch then sprint dropped the branding back to Samsung Galaxy S2. Just make sure you only flash things labeled as Sprint Galaxy S2, Epic 4g Touch, SPH-D710, e4gt don't flash anything for any other variant unless you like fancy looking door stops

Ok so quick re cap, Odin roots my phone, putting my phone in download mode allows me to flash a kernel & rom, the bootloader is unlocked but I'll still have to pay if I want it flashed to another CDMA network, correct?
Download mode is for using Odin, boot to download then connect to PC via USB. U flash .tar files thru Odin PDA slot, you can either flash a full rooted tar or just a kernel/recovery, the recovery is packed into the kernel on this device so it changes when the kernel or rom is changed. If you want to flash aosp/cm based roms I highly recommend using el26+cwm5 from chris41g so u don't brick. Flashing to other carriers you can either pay someone to do or do yourself with a little reading and software downloads, your options are boost(if its a sprint version if not its ready for boost) pageplus, virgin mobile, cricket or ting depending on what's in your area that works good. Check out the stickies in general, q&a and development and get familiar with tools and terms before starting so you don't run into an issue mid way thru rooting/romming

Hey everyone,
So I recently ran into a weird situation with my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3, I went to the Rogers store to get a LTE sim card. After activating the sim card and putting it into my phone I realized that I was only getting Edge. I'd like to point out that I was getting up to H+ (or 4g) before I purchased this new sim card.
Anyways, I looked into this problem and I determined that I had lost my IMEI. So using QPST and the QCN generator, I was able to get my data connection back. However, I did noticed one slight change. Before, my phone used to show 4g and now it says H+. To my understanding, these two are the same thing. Please correct me if I'm wrong. As for LTE, I believe it shows up as 4g on my phone.
My first question, is there any way to get my phone to show 4g for H+ and LTE for 4g? --> which to my understanding is the normal set up for the GS3.
My other concern is that I would like to know what caused my IMEI to be lost?????? What are some possibilities?
I am rooted and I was using Drew Garen's Jellybean M7 rom. Just before I purchased the new sim card, I flashed back to Rogers stock rom. That is all I did! I've done this many times and I've never had a problem with my IMEI.
Thanks everyone for your time. If you can help out in any way I'd greatly appreciate it.
For all I know, flashing ROMs randomly cause you to lose your imei. No one really knows why (correct me if you can). There's a thread sticky somewhere that links to a tool to restore it.. Best of luck
one way to lose your imei is flashing att modem on Canadian i747m but
flashing back the right modem should give you back your imei if that's was what cause you to lose it.
Is there any way to get my phone to show 4g for H+ and LTE for 4g? --> which to my understanding is the normal set up for the GS3.
On stock Rogers gs3 you should see LTE when connected to it. Try doing a factory reset afrer flashing the stock rom.
I had the same experience.I had no clue how it happened cz i didnot flash any custom rom apart from jellybean bell leaked rom(my s3 is Bell).Anyhow you will have to manually restore imei if its not already backed up.There is a tool for it and to get Hsdpa working as well.

Is it possible to restore the imei if you did not back up already?
Yes its possible. You need to reinject your IMEI (found behind your battery). You can do this using QPST and the QCN generator. Theres a list of instructions on this thread

I have recently acquired a Sprint SGS3 SPH-L710. It was still original stock at 4.4.2, never rooted. i flashed the n2j stock rom through odin, and then I had it flashed from Sprint to PagePlus and it is working okay (still need to get 3g going) Then used cm-autoroot and installed twrp (debating on installing philz). Now the phone is ready for some rom action.
My question is since this phone is a d2spr, but flashed to PagePlus (Verizon), would it be safe or better to install a d2vzn rom vs d2spr rom?
From my research, there are settings in the roms that are molded to a specific carrier. If I am on Verizon, I do not want to install and have Sprint related settings (buildprop?) and apps, etc. Then flashing a Sprint SGS3 to Pageplus vs a Verizon SGS3, Sprint must be set to NV only, and other posts and forums (on xda and howards), I have read said this nv setting could be changed when flashing a rom, which would break the PagePlus flash. But if I install a d2vzw rom, everything else would be molded to Verizon, which is great since I am using a Verizon network. I suppose it depends on how much molding is being done and what exactly. Then of course, I do not want to brick the device flashing the wrong version. If the roms were only listed as d2lte, I wouldnt mind as much, but I have noticed some roms do have a Sprint version and a Verizon version, but I can not locate the details to compare the differences.

Flashing a d2vzw build will not trick the phone to think it is a vzw phone just more chances of you ending up with a brick.

I am now having a problem updating the APN in any 5.x rom, says not enough permissions. I tried a handful of APN apps on Google play, made them system apps, etc. it never saves or changes the apn settings. I can change and save APN in KK roms just fine though.
Did you try on WiFi it could be cause not picking up data connection

I hear you and agree 100% with flashing to alternate carriers. I would not normally do this myself, but considering I got this cell for free a couple weeks ago, I figured I might as well deal with the hassle and make the best of it.
The only problem is that I still haven't found a 100% fix. I been flashing 4.4.x roms and 5.1.1 roms trying various APN settings, apps, changes, tips, etc. Nothing seems to stick or crash when attempting to change it. Trust me I been digging all over Google, XDA, and other various droid forums.
My carrier is PagePlus/vzw, and I can not find a PagePlus APN flashable file, hmm maybe I can come across a generic Vzw one, otherwise I know the settings to put in to create a new one though. This is why I was inquirying on flashing a Verizon S3 rom in the first place. Hopefully I can come across something soon.
When I get off work I'll try to help you out
