I have a samsung galaxy S3 (sprint) SPH-L710
I've been running into some problems flashing it over to boost.
I have the msl code.
I have a problem when I try to setup the memory.
I'm using CDMA Workshop 2.7.0.
I'm trying to setup NAM memory.
I bought the phone used. Clean ESN, it's been released from the provider, and it is only about a week old.
It came out of the box 6/25/2013.
I've tried watching several videos and tried to do the NV part.
Everything I make a call it says "please enter the telephone number you are trying to call."
It will charge them every time they call.
I've came into several problems with the NAM memory.
At the memory tab i try to read the Memory/Eeprom.
When I do this it says failed and writes 0kbs, then deletes the file.
Am I doing it right?
I really just want to flash the phone over.
Could someone please help me out on what I need to do.

I purchased 2 Sprint TP's and reprogrammed them to work on the Verizon network. Both work for voice but only one can access the internet and I can not figure out what is wrong with the other phone. I am new to cell phone programming so my knowledge is very basic. I followed instructions contained on PPCGEEKS at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44663. I am using the stock VZW ROM, I've set the MIP according to instructions but when I try to connect at 1X with the one phone I get a message saying "error, network problem, dialing #777". I have tried to do a hard reset but can not do it for some reason so I have reinstalled the VZW ROM a couple of times and setup the programming according to the instructions on PPCGEEKS but I get the same error. What can I do to make this work? The MIP is retained when I reinstalled the ROM-I wonder if I could erase the MIP and redo it if that might not fix the problem. I do not know how to erase it of course. I have spent all weekend trying to get this to work and I really need help.
Thanks
p.s. I got the phone to work finally-not sure why but here is what I did. I found some software on the phone that would do a hard reset at settings/memory/clear storage tab-good stuff to use. I then verified with Verizon that my account was setup correctly. Then I put the old phone back on the network and tried to access data on it and it worked ok so I then put my TP back on the network. Evidently when I did this, it rewrote some information that it was not writing before to the Verizon computers when I did *228 3 because I was then able to get data to work on 1X. After that it works fine. It took me forever to figure this out so hopefully this message will save someone time in the end.

Ok guys i know this may be entierly possible but heres the story, i traded my iphone for a nice s3, normally on trades i always finish activation before I EVER LEAVE .I called sprint gave them the dec esn rom under the battery they said its good it successully attatched to my line,so i was of on my way to finish the # # rtn reset on the s3 and hopes for the usual self activation. To my surprise it wouldnt do it ,so i called sprint they said yes its on my line we tried rtn reset scrtn reset update profile etc.. etc.. all the normal stuff even manualy edit the msid and mdn,Upon reset handsfree activation fails says retry retry, So i looked under the dec and hex under the settings in phone and compared it to the one stamped underneath the batttery they are different
I attempted and flashed stock shipped 4.0.4 through odin then did rtn reset again and all of a sudden i hear HELLO HELLO HELLO ,thats metros acgtivation crap. So as it stands it has a clean esn for sprint but whatever they flash to get it on a new carrier still exists.
I read about flashing evo back to sprint right from a few steps using qpst but thats htc.
Any ideas how i can get the right stuff back onto it so i can reactivate it thru sprint.Any way/program thryu my computer to do this?
Because it has a clean sprint esn it apparentally was bought new and the poeple wanted it on metro pcs.
Have you tried flashing a sprint PRL? And im assuming you made sure you flashed a sprint modem right?
Every Sprint PRL
A few days ago I purchased a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 off of Craigslist. When the guy brought it to me I was able to test the phone with my 4G chip. It was able to make calls and access the internet. Once I got home I noticed that the phone would constantly go into a Demo mode and erase any changes that I had made to the phone. Instead of calling the guy that sold me the phone I decided I would just go ahead and root it.
The first attempt at rooting the phone ended up as a disaster. It was constantly rebooting after the splash screen. I later found that this was an easy fix. I had decided to "Nand erase All" and then it would not even boot. I finally found a Root66, the phone came up fine but I had no connection to Verizon with or without the 4g chip. I looked through the phone settings and found that under the "Baseband Version" it said unknown. Since then I have tried flashing in with other roms. Right now its flashed with KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.
Its still says the Baseband Version is Unknown and the only thing that works is the wifi.
Please HELP!!!

I think your EFS has been messed up..what you should do is backup your current EFS even though it's highly damaged.... find a way to recover your EFS search on XDA ..EFS repair or EFS recover if all fails flash a genuine stock ROM and retry the repair or rebuild of the EFS... also as it's a demo phone...there could be other complications..I'm not sure.
seems like damaged efs.. if you had backed up the efs,just try flashing older modem. but if you never back up the efs,it will be very difficult..i suggest you to read all the threads about restoring efs and hope you can fix it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392632 This thread should definitely help you. There are all possible ways you can restore your EFS done by @tamirda . I just got my baseband version back on my Note II International GT 7100.
So I just got a used s3 from flebay (bad esn). Sprint Galaxy s3.
I dial ##3424# and I can get the phone to show up with a com port, connect with CDMA, but when I click read, it says ":: failed ::" next to ESN and number. So ok I thought maybe I got to send the SPC to it first, and since the old 16 digit pw does not work for 4.3 anymore, I flash it back to 4.1.1, connect via cdma to com port, but it says fail to send to phone.
- I've tried 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.3, and a couple diff modem. All give same result.
- I also tried to use QPST. In QPST configuration, the target port shows enabled, com19, no phone, usb. It does not want to recognize the phone as well.
Any ideas what it could be guys? I'm suspecting this phone cannot be flashed or even used.
Hello all,
I tried searching for a similar scenario but wasn't able to find anything so I thought I'd try posting here.
I purchased a flashed Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 from ebay about 6 months ago. I'm assuming the phone is rooted, I had my number flashed with page plus service to the S3 without problem and it has worked fine since then. Apart from the initial flash to page plus by the ebay vendor I've used the phone daily without flashing anything else, just using apps from the store and basic daily functions like email, social media and camera use. Today while using the phone it randomly shut off. When starting up the phone again it gets stuck on the "Samsung" logo, it does not reboot either.
I know that a hard reset can fix this issue but the problem is I believe a hard reset might break the page plus flash and I'm afraid of losing the number I have on this phone. Has anyone experienced this problem with a phone flashed to page plus and has successfully fixed this? Or will I just have to buy a new phone to flash my page plus number to?
Write down your flashed page plus number to external paper and after hard reset flash it again using dfs software.
Or if you don't want to hard reset... Flash the tar file via Odin to repair the stuck boot then root it.
But i recommend to flash a new rooted ROM from recovery after wiping data/factory reset.. It will not wiping your flashed status.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don't really flash on my own and didn't quite want to experiment just yet.
What I ended up doing was esn swapping the page Plus number I was using from the Sprint s3 to an htc rhyme that was also activated on page Plus in a hope of salavging my #. I then went ahead and factory reset the s3 and that fixed the stuck on boot problem.
My question is now this, would it be possible to esn swap the number back to the s3 and have it function on page plus once again. from what I can tell in the settings it still has the 65002 prl I believe is uses to flashthis model and my orginal phone number still appears in the s3 device settings (and 3g username aferrad) despite my swapping the number to the rhyme.
I would be happy to provide addtl info and appreciate any help you can offer.
