Just got my t999L today, and almost done pulling all the data off the internal card. Would like to unroot it before I send it in the return sleeve but i want to ask what exactly is a Flash Counter? I see a few threads saying how to reset or avoid tripping it, but nothing quite explains what it is. Should I bother resetting it for a simple warranty exchange? And I assume I could simply do an Odin stock flash and that will take care of my unrooting issue?
Triangle Away will reset it.
THEN odin the stock firmware.

Imagine if doc weren't answering your questions.
By the way, how's the t999l? Notice any big differences in download and upload speeds?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
No no doc, please keep the answers coming! Wasnt compaining XP
And yes actually I have noticed great increase in speeds. Certain areas getting as much as 30up and 15down. Others are about the same down wise but the up speed has greatly increased.
Even if the speeds were in fact the same, I love that only select few roms work and there are bugs aplenty. I grew somewhat bored of everything working perfectly on the standard t999. Its like having the evo 4g all over again! Time to be a test mule

I've been having that same feeling lately. Maybe I'll try to get my hands on a lte version once there's a way to unbrick it.

I've been noticing that my 3G service is hardly usable the majority of the day when at home wends doesn't improve much when i'm on the go. Is there a reason that I have bad service but others in the same area have great service?
Thanks for the help

I agree, when i had at&t my 3g Was double the speed... Is there a better modem I should be running? I'm on fc24 in new york. Help!

Just for your information I usually never get 3G and I never receive 4G. Is it possible to use any modem with EL29?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Modems are not build-dependent, you can use any modem with any rom and will have different results so you will need to test all of them for a few to see what gives you best results. After installing a new modem be sure to update profile and prl in system settings. Sprint is extremely slow to begin with but a modem switch will help. Your speeds will very depending on you distance from the towers and several different other factors, you're reception will typically not have any affect on you're data speeds.
Thanks I'll give different modems a try. Do I need to clear cache or anything like that as a prerequisite?

I rooted my tmobile S3 today and it worked fine. Later I installed a cyanogen nightly sang noticed it was only getting 3g, so I did a restore to the stock rooted firmware through ROM manger. With that I got just bars, no indication of 4g or 3g. The phone wouldnt go to the internet, it said no connection available. I had to restore back to cyangen to get the phone just to work... but regardless of which settings I chose the phone is stuck in 3g. What is the fix? I'm going crazy here
Did you check your imei? Did you back it up?

I don't know much more than you sorry. I know imei can get corrupted when flashing and it causes problems like that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
3G on cm is the same as 4G on tmo stock rom.
Try checking your apn settings on the stock rom since I think your imei is fine, without it you wouldn't have gotten 3G at all, even on cm.

Wait, are you just looking at the icon without it doing anything. Many aftermarket ROMs will show 3G when the phone is doing nothing. It will show 4G or H when you make it work.

It is not an LOL deal, if you have no clue that means you didn't bother reading anything about flashing a rom IMEI is mentioned all over, IMO you deserve no help what so ever since you think LOL is a proper response to not reading how to do the job the right way, enjoy your slow data speeds maybe if you learn to read it will work again

Thanks for having me, it's been a really nice run and for the 3 days that I had semi-official JB it was amazing. Unfortunately, I lost my phone this morning and Lookout wasn't installed because of a problem with build.prop in Jedi Jelly 2 or something causing Market problems with not letting you download certain apps. Hopefully, I get a GS3 as my replacement. Anywho, thanks again guys, I wish you the best and oh, you can use anything I have done in your ROMs.

Can't t-mobile trace its location? It's still connected to the towers right? And data is on? I'm sire they can pinpoint its location with some serial number or imei.

They won't do it. I lost my phone a couple months ago. I asked, they said they can't. Personally i think it was bull. Looks like they got some thing with lookout if you ask me.

So... I've been trying to explain my father what modems do. Things like extending range, increasing speeds, improving battery life, etc etc.
He won't listen because he doesn't believe me. I've tried showing him articles, and I've even shown myself INSTALLING a modem but... because the information is so scattered, he won't look for more then 2 seconds. He asked me to find some more centralized information... :banghead::banghead:
So I came here.
Would someone please explain how certain modems actually help the phone, and the advantages that can be taken by using certain modems?
The things some do to prove a point... I tried before I came to you E4GT community. If this is in the wrong section, feel free to delete or move it mods.
Many thanks will be had

I think you need to do a practical demo for your dad. Flash el29 modem. Run some tests.. Check signal bars.. Then flash some other modem and from same location run same tests..

I did that! I guess I could've specified that when I put in the bit about installing a modem before his eyes. I think I figured it out. He owns an iPhone 5 so... Maybe I'll just play that song for him by Will Smith "Parents Just Don't Understand."

Is the sph-d710bst an epic 4g or an epic 4g touch? Sorry if in wrong forum. Couldn't figure it out by googling. All I got was that it was an epic. My wife's friends camera went out so I was coming here to look for help or possibly rooting it and updating it a bit. Thanks. I suggested a factory reset since she has like a bunch of crappy apps. I'll see if that works. Thanks

Yes, the sph-d710bst is the epic 4g touch. And if the camera is not working, I would suggest what you said, a factory reset. Get rid of all those apps that may be causing a conflict. If she doesn't want root(I know, but some people don't!) then just do the reset and update her through Kies with the latest jelly bean OTA. Good luck! I have the same phone, so let me know if you have any issues or questions.

If your camera went out? What exactly does that mean, can you provide a screenshot of what is happening?
If it's a hardware failure it is fairly simple to replace the camera on the e4gt. Just find tuscani and buy one from him if he still has the parts.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Did the factory reset and camera still doesn't work. It just has a black screen and freezes up where nothing works...
By black screen I mean it's black in the viewfinder. I'm unfamiliar with the device personally but we just came by her house and did all that and it still isn't working. Maybe the update would fix the camera possibly? I know it used to work so I'm unsure. Thanks again guys.

Hmmmm, Mattix may be right. Your camera may be borked. Try the update first, then look around on here for a new camera. They're not that expensive and from what I hear not too terribly difficult to install.
