Contacting sprint tec support - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

If I'm running a custom rom will I have issues when I contact sprint tec support to run their diagnostic tests?

I believe any TW-based ROM should work fine with the diagnostic codes and tests. If you're on AOSP, you definitely won't be able to use the dialer codes. If it were me, I'd probably flash Freeza's stock rooted rom before contacting them, just to make sure it works.

I was thinking about doing that, actually going completely back to stock. But I was hoping I might be able to avoid the hassle.

Flashing Freeza's rom shouldn't be too much hassle... just make a nandroid so you can restore your previous ROM once done.

I see your post in StrongSteves rom thread. You should be fine on that rom, it is based on stock so you will be able to run all tests and diagnostics if they ask you to.
Just post in one place next time. And give more info as we cant guess what's going on.

Thanks for the help guys. I wasn't sure where to post, cause I wasn't sure if it was rom.specific.

I've never had them ask me for build or kernel. I've called them a dozen or more times fully rooted running custom TW roms. No issues.

Unfortunately it says the the report wasn't confirmed by Samsung, and it also says that its still gonna have to go through the carriers... dunno how att is because I'm new but I know vzw is a huge Hassel when it comes to pushing through any upgrades. Hopefully the code Samsung wrote form its handset gets leaked though because then we will have the capability to flash it without waiting for carrier approval.

Despite the fact that it's not really official (no Samsung confirmation) it's still good news. I doubt this would be an invented news, there's gotta be some truth behind it... now as for the carriers' part in this, that's another matter!
I'm waiting for two things, first, the inevitable leaks, and second, the kernel sauce.

My theory is that the Jelly Bean leak since is actually a Sammy leak and is still being worked on by Tmobile and AT&T uses the almost the same kernel both d2 the devices. The new jelly bean leak has LTE settings in it meaning that you can set AT&T LTE/PTA APN settings and use 4G LTE in theory. Their are risk because the leak contains a new baseband, you can always reflash back to an older baseband though so this is not the biggest deal. The update does not include a new bootloader so no worries their. And you can always flash back to ICS. In my mind this may be worth fixing up a few files to see if it works. I'm going to give a try. I'll report back.
Looking forward to what you uncover drew

I'll take a look - I think it can be ported without a hitch to i747.

The system and everthing seems to copy over fine, it's the kernel that's giving me trouble right now. I'm going to work on it some more and see what I can find out, but by that time I'm sure an AT&T version will be out.
I'm still working on it and will continue.
What about using ktoon's or faux' JB kernel in the meantime?

port sprint jellybean offical update ?

tmobile offical update for jellybean wont be until the end of 2012, so cant we just port the official jelly bean update from sprint? cause basically the sprint gs3 and all other carriers are the same internally except for the radio. so as long as we just flash the rom without the radio, we should be good ? i have no idea. idk. just a thought
I'm sure someone will try it out soon, but I'm pretty sure you can flash Sprint and att roms no problem

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I believe all the carriers have pretty much identical hw except the radios. They most likely have the same partition mapping and so its probably ok to flash anothers roms.
That said, I would NOT do this without solid confirmation. Its basically an educated guess on my part. (A day or two ago someone said they flashed a Verizon rom and it worked, but again, I wouldn't take my or their word for it alone)

Ktoonsez built his touchwiz kernel off the sprint jb source so I'm with doc on this. It's most likely safe. I'm hoping T-Mobile will release their source soon.

Someone in general clashed Sprint and Verizon ROMs just fine. The only issue was getting radios to communicate with the software. I believe they got everything working on the Sprint ROM but Verizon had extra authentication methods.

The OP could be telling the truth, but till a credible member verify this, I'll question the validity of his/her post. Still, even if it turns out to be true, It remains to be a question whether a sprint rom is flashable on ours or not.

You can flash a sprint rom just fine. will stuff not work without modification? yes, but you will not brick it.
Now, if you flash an international rom to a US variant you will brick because the partitions are different. But everything is the same on the US variants. You do have to change things in the build.prop and make other mods to make it work on GSM. The only thing bad would be if the sprint rom flashes a modem but that wouldn't even brick because you could just flash the correct modem
I also want to mention I released a straight stock port on the ATT forums. This release will work for tmo as well. You just have to change the build prob stuff to show it as a t999 instead of a i747
All the S3 from US carrier have the same hardware. It could be ported just that the radios will have to be changed. I wont doubt it if they do it :good:
OK guys no more talking, that's the official JB for the sprint version, ported for the T-Mobile
Check out. Working great on my phone.

I believe AndreiLux, says in his thread that he doesn't have a sprint device so he can't directly test and figure out the changes he needs to make if any. He says that he's perfectly willing to port it over if someone plays guinea pig and downloads the tmobile version kernel and loads it on their sprint device lol.

Just tried it. I wiped cache/dalvic, flashed, wiped again, fixed permissions, reboot, prof....soft brick. Restored backup via TWRP and all is well again. I'm on Jellybomb but that shouldn't cause an issue to my knowledge. I didn't try the ODIN version so that might work but this did not. Can't wait for one that will boot for our device. That Kernel looks boss.

be sure to let AndreiLux know your results from flashing. The faster we get the information he needs, the faster he can port the kernel to the sprint note 2.

Thank you for supporting our device AndreiLux! I've heard nothing but praises about your kernel and was anxious to see it on the Sprint Note 2. This might be an odd question, but how do you decide what new features or changes to add to your kernel?
Edit: I have another thought I was wondering about. Since we have you custom kernel now, shouldn't the ExtSd2InternalSD v3.1 mod work on our devices (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931500)?
