Hi I'm a S3 T-Mobile user and I been trying to get my girlfriend to root her sprint s3 so she could use the hotspot for free instead of paying for it and also to trick out her phone. My phone us rooted and Im always trying out different ROMs. I did brick my phone when I first got it. But thats because u downloaded a ROM and didn't notice the download was incomplete. So now she's having trouble getting any signal in our new apartment. So my question is, if she root her phone and try a different ROM. Would it help getting a stronger signal. Are they any ROMs or kernel that would the signal problem.

Honestly, it's just Sprint. Rooting will allow her to flash different modems but unless you live in an LTE area, you probably won't see a major difference. I'm not sure about the ROMs or Kernels but I don't think they would change the signal she's getting.
+1 you can try out different modems.
ROMs have absolutely nothing to do with coverage, signal, mobile speeds, whatever you wanna call it.
+2 plus this thread will most likely be moved. Question go in the Q&A section.

hey guys i lost 4g after switching a rom. i switched back to the old rom stil didnt work any body have a pic or am i screwed
What does your imei say?
And there is a q&a forum for these types of threads

If it shows H+ then that is 4g. Just different icon.
Sounds like you lost your imei.
Hopefully you did your research before modifying your $600 phone and you made a backup of your imei since this is a common problem and a way to prevent it/back it up has been developed. Otherwise., good luck. You can try to insert your imei again ( not a simple process) but it well never act the same again if its been lost.
Best bet is new phone
Check in you're settings menu and see what it says your imei is in about phone. If it says 0 instead of the imei then you lost imei

Follow ALL THREE steps to get your 4G back. It's easier if you go back to a TouchWiz ROM for the *codes.
thank you

Only ROMs, not radios/modems, boot loaders, or recoveries. You're in basically the same position you were before it was unlocked except you can now use at&t SIM cards.

OK. Cool. I'm fixing to root it today. I'm actually looking for A Samsung Stock ROM for it. We switched from TMobile to Att and the LTE seems to be working just fine. I just want to cut all the carrier related stuff because I wanna sell it and I'll sell it quicker with an Att stock ROM versus a T-Mobile one. Maybe I'll just use Titanium Backup to get all the T-Mobile junk out. Idk

It will work fine as long as you are sure that your Tmobile S3 is UNLOCKED.
Just be sure NOT to flash any AT&T modem/radios on your phone.
All the CWM flashable custom and other roms available for the AT&T will work fine
on your phone. None of these roms contain modem/radio images, no worries)
I have an AT&T unlocked S3 phone and all the Tmobile roms work fine for me too.
Need a bit of help..... I rooted my phone and now I'm trying to get my phone as a hotspot. Problem is... Every app I tried to use in the app store doesn't work. And if I can get one to work, I can't get any devices to find my phone hotspot.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong section..... I'm a noob to the rooting process and to this site
You can find that info in the Sprint Galaxy S3 FAQ.
You haven't searched.

Now, depending on what software your on, crawjr over in the dev section has came up with zip files to allow use of the native stock tethering app. Im on the MD4 software right now and I use the native hotspot all the time.
All you have to do is zip it using CWM or TWRP...easy as that.
here is the link:

Hello all, I have a quick question I was wondering if someone had the answer to. I have tried searching but could not find what I was looking for. Basically I have a friend that has the Verizon variant of the Note 2, and another friend that wants a Note 2. I am trying to help them both out if possible. Now my one friend uses Sprint as his provider, and wants me to see if there is a way to flash the Verizon phone for use on Sprint with his plan so he does not have to renew his contract. I know there are stock ROM images of the each Note 2 out there. Is it possible to just flash the Sprint stock firmware, modem, etc to the phone and have it work? If not, is there another way? And finally, if it is possible, would all of the features work? Thanks so much for your help!
He can but will more than likely not have access to 4g lte on the network

Hey Guys,
I been a member here for a while and dont really ever find the need to post anything because you guys answer my question in other peoples problems This time I am stumped. I cannot ge this phone fixed.
I have a Spring Samsung Galaxy S2 (Epic 4G Touch) that was flashed fully working for Page Plus. This was unknown to me when I got the phone and was asked to fix it. I flashed the stock rom back to it (HOME_SPH-D710_CL852097_user.tar) using odin. Thats when i learned it was a page plus phone.
So my question is, how can i get this phone to work on Page Plus again. I assume it was flashed with a donor phone that i do not have access to.
Thanks for reading this far and any help you can provide.
Also,
My friend is OK if I can make the phone work on boost if that is an option. I flashed a boost rom thinking it was a sealed deal......nope.
APN and MMSC settings have to be correct. Just flashing a ROM does not set the provider settings.

OK. Thats a good start.
Do you or anyone have these settings and the know how of how to change them?
I don't know the settings. There are a few tutorials in the general section. Google could help or our very own search function.
You may have wiped out the Pp flash with odin. That will require a new donor phone to fix. The APN and MMSC settings will need to be set after. But chances are you just need to set those as I am not sure if going completely back to stock wipes a provider flash.

I have flashed a page plus prl using QPST and that at least got the phone services running. Talk and text. still no data and mms.
I have googled and changed the APN and MMSC settings with no change in functionality. And I have gotten the sprint hands free activation to stop bothering me.
If the info is out there, I have googled my eyes out. Can anyone spoon feed this information if they have it.
I need data and MMS working on this messed up Epic 4G touch.\
Thanks again!
