Not sure where to put this but I just got the official boost mobile s3. I am curious if it can be rooted the same way as the sprint model or if it needs a new method.
I believe you can use THIS method. I would double check on the thread just in case.
EDIT : This should also be in Q / A
EDIT: According to the post HERE it works.
Moved to Q&A
would you be able to upload a stock rooted rom of your boost s3,I have a sprint flashed one and believe flashing a boost rom would fix my issues such as mms/vm

yes...you can use the same method to root the boost mobile sgs3 as the sprint version or you can use this link to flash sprint's md4 stock rom and then flash any sprint sgs3 rom that you like. note DO NOT FLASH ANY INTERNATIONAL ROMS ON YOUR PHONE CAUSE YOU'LL BRICK THE HECK OUT OF IT AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX IT......sorry i can not post any link do to that I'm new posting on xda but you cand search for the stock rotted md4 rom and that should be the best way to root your boost galaxy s3.

I just bought my Galaxy S II (Epic Touch 4G) for Boost Mobile a few days ago, it is running on android 4.0.4 build fh29. I am curious if there is a root available for this version of android. The model number of my phone is SGH-D710

I think that's not intended for the Original Galaxy S2 from Boost Mobile (FH29)... (correct me if I'm wrong) Maybe it works but I don't want to try that, If anyone comes up with a root specifically for this one please let us know.....

I mean... It looks like a workaround of a sprint (rooted) rom to make it work in the new GS2 from boost.... isn't it?

Download Agat's latest kernel and the SuperSU.zip from crawj.
Will also be helpful if you have the stock kernel in case you want to flash it back.
1) Flash Agat's kernel by Odin.
2) Either flash crawj's SuperSU.zip or PM me and I have another one that will do the trick.
That's it! You're now rooted.
You can flash back the stock kernel by Odin if you really wanted to after doing this.
The system update FI22 is out... (Boost Mobile GS2)
Problems if you have FH29 rooted and want to update to FI22:
I'm running now the FH29 and tried to update it to the newest version (FI22) but that gave me an error that didn't surprise me because I'm rooted.
I did a Nandroid backup before anything....
I went back to stock and did both updates FH29 and FI22, then I rooted the phone (flashed Agat and then Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip), everything seemed ok until I realized the 3G wasn't working no matter what I tried. I flashed my Nandroid backup on top of this without results. Finally, I went back to stock again, updated to FH29, and flashed my Nandroid backup and everything is working now... (without FI22)
If anyone has a solution for this let me know, it looks like this rooting metod doesn't work for FI22, for some reason blocks the 3G and I don't know what else....
Thanks

Welcome to android. Definitely got a good device for first android experience. Well now since you are rooted you will have to flash a custom recovery. You can download the goo.im app from the play store to get cwm recovery. That way you can flash anything to any partition within the phone. Now is that kernel for the t mobile s3? If its not, then I don't recommend flashing. Just flash what you find here. Ktoonsez makes great kernels. There are also stock over clocked ones and others as well. Once you have cwm OK installed then go ahead and download the kernel using your phone's browser. Then to boot into custom recovery, power off the device and when powering it back on press and hold the power and the volume down button. When the device vibrates once, you can then let go and and from there cwm should work and then flash file from .zip and look for your downloaded kernel and flash it

Do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3). In other words, don't flash that kernel you were talking about. There are certain exceptions, but just follow this rule: do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3).
you used http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 this to root your phone? - that thread is for international S3 version
and your phone is TMO right?hmmm...just like what Aerowinder said Do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3).

**if your still here**
1st. You cant use anymore Ktoonsez kernel or other kernels and ROMs in this thread you will end up in the customers service station cuz you said its a GT-I9300 (international variant of S3).
2. Your S3 is not a FAKE we have 2 different worlds
good luck with your phone

The link I gave you is the correct one. This forum is for the US variant on the T-Mobile network only (SGH-T999). You can always go over there and ask them if you are in the correct place.
ok i will
Hey there guys,
I looked everywhere to find the answer to this question, but I have yet to find it. My roommate just bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 and he has T-mobile service. However, he doesnt get wifi calling and that feature is vital. So here is my question:
Is it possible to flash the 100% stock odin T-Mobile Galaxy S4 rom on an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 without any issues? What should I do? I appreciate any help out there that I can get.
Andrew
From my research (due to the exact same issues), the ATT s4 has different radio hardware, so it wouldn't work, at least not with a stock T-mobile rom.

But if I flash the tmobile radio or the modified att radio with AWS enabled, I should be ok right? The thing I worry about the most is bricking the device via odin flash.
There are threads about applying an AWS patch to AT&T phones to make them work on T-Mobile's network. I have not personally tested but was under the impression the radio hardware was ok it was more of a matter of TMo using one frequency for download vs upload on AT&T (or vice versa). A TMo sales rep told me he did that on his girlfriend's phone (which is an S3) and got it to work fine.

Don't Odin flash different variant's 100% stock images. If it's a CWM/TWRP flashable ROM you won't have any problems so long as you use the AT&T kernel. Flashing other variant's radios/firmware may cause problems. With you having an AT&T device, use modem/baseband/firmware. The AT&T AWS Enabled Radio can be found here
I have been searching the web for long time try to find the exactly same answer, but I haven't found any reliable source on it. If anyone has tried this and work, please post a guide here for us, thanks ahead!

I'm running the ModdedUAMDL_v2 on my i337 right now with no issues. I have also flashed the AWS enabled modem and haven't had a problem with data at all. Just be sure to flash a LOKIFYED kernel after flashing the ROM or it won't boot.

I just found this thread. I enabled the AWS frequencies on my i337, can you post what ROM you used and what instructions you used? so do you have wifi calling enabled now?
Thanks
my main two interests are
-wifi calling
-mobile hotspot, as it is included in my plan but the AT&T rom won't let me use it
You can use any of the touch wiz roms in the t-mobile section. Just make sure to flash att kernel

Just flash an att stock Rom. You should be ok.

I use Tmobile and I got the phone for free and unlocked it I want the stock t mobile cause I use wifi calling.
If you don't mind describing what T-Mobile ROM you flashed on the AT&T SGH-i747 that would be great... I was considering this too. What Modem and Kernel did you use as well. Or possibly post the thread you did this from.
Thanks
Hi I'm sorry if this has already been answered , but is it safe to just flash any sprint/boost Rom to the Sprint version of the s3 ? Again it is flashed to Boost currently , so would putting a boost ROM instead of "modified" sprint stock ROM work ?
Sorry if it sounds confusing I just wanted to clear that up, in my eyes I'm figuring that since it is sprint, and flashed to boost, installing a new ROM would mess with the flash and put it back to sprint, which of course we don't want.
I just wanted to double check with the community before flashing away, thanks in advance for any answers.

I believe it would work just fine, i recently flashed a stock sprint ROM to my out of box Boost S3, Problem here is you might find it difficult getting Boost Stock ROMs especially the JB 4.3. you might also want to do NAM Backup before you proceed in flashing.
