[Q] CSpire GS3 SCH-L710 rom???

Hey guys
CSpire Wireless formerly Cellular South has finally released their Galaxy S3. The model number is SCH-L710. The reason I am asking this question here and not in a different carriers forum is the L710 in model number. I don't pretend to understand why certain carriers GS3's are labeled with different model numbers, but I thought that since your GS3 and mine both have L710 I thought that possibly the hardware was closer to the same than say verizon's which is a completely different model designation. That being said I am desperate for a custom rom but don't wanna just go flashing any GS3 roms out there to see if any will work on my network. I would feel more comfortable knowing that I had a way to odin flash a stock rom in case any problems arise. Anyway if someone is kind enough and generous enough to help me locate a stock odin flashable rom, then I would be willing to help in any way I can to find a usable rom or port for my version of this great phone.
Thank you so much in advance

I went ahead and flashed the latest CM10 nightly for the Sprint version. Everything seems to be fine, except for data. I still have data, but it is very flaky and won't hardly hold a signal. I suspect it to be the PRL or CM itself.
We definitely need a stock rom for CSpire. I am willing to help any way I can.

find the proper PRL for C Spire and use this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781) to flash it

Good luck finding that. Cspire keeps things like that unattainable. Unless *228 will work properly to update prl. Should anyone come across it please let me know. Bout to flash CM10

What about using QPST or something to pull the PRL off of a stock device? Can we get someone to do this before flashing any ROMs?

Okay. First of all, I didn't think to look at the PRL before I went and flashed the Sprint CM10. But now it says 20005. I restored my nandroid backup and pulled this PRL from my phone with QPST 2.7.374. In DFS Tool, I noticed there was a CSpire PRL 10009. I wrote this PRL to the Phone and am getting much better service on the stock TW ROM.
HOWEVER, I flashed the Sprint CM10 again and the same thing happened. It says PRL 10009, but there is little to no service and when it does have a little service, it is very flaky and eventually ends up with no data connection at all. Any more suggestions or ideas?

after a few hours of trying to get my phone into diagnostic mode i found this that worked. *#22745927 then enable hidden menu then *#7284#
now i think i need to find a newer version of qpst so that it will recognize my phone.

This one worked for me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tcfsxo5d6vsxfnn/QPST.2.7.374.rar

qpst still says no phone under the phone column no matter what i try

So far, this is what I have done:
First I used the following tool to download drivers for my phone and root ( via option 4 in the program).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
I used CWM to make a nandroid backup.
Next, I flashed the latest CM nightly for the Sprint version here:
http://get.cm/?device=d2spr
After doing this, everything worked fine, EXCEPT for data. I dialed *228 and let it do its thing. I actually had data, but the signal was extremely weak and very flaky. After messing with settings it would usually drop it altogether.
I restored my nandroid backup and noticed that although I had data, it seemed to be weaker than before ( although that may just be me).
I decided to follow the following guide on how to get the PRL from the phone:
http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-m/419514-how-get-prl-off-your-phone.html
The version of QPST on that post was outdated, so I found and used QPST 2.7.374, which I posted a link to earlier in the thread.
I managed to copy the 20005 PRL off of my phone and saved it.
I then started up DFS Tool and wrote the CSpire 10009 PRL to my phone.
I get much better service on the stock ROM, but the Sprint CM builds still do the same thing. No data.
UPDATE: I did a *228 to get back on the 20005 PRL and it is working just as well as the 10009 PRL now.
Also, as OBSt4l0n discovered, there's simultaneous voice and data. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or if this was happening before flashing roms
and PRL's.

Okay. We no longer believe it's the PRL causing the problems. More info to come. May be slower over the weekend with weekend stuff and all.

Out of curiosity, Could it be the APN's causing the issues? And from what I've seen the vzw variant seems closer to the cspire. but its hard to say. Just to try and eliminate possible causes, I would reccomend flashing this here and see if you get the same issues. http://goo-inside.me/devs/aokp/d2vzw/aokp_d2vzw_jb_build-4.zip Its AOKP for the vzw variant. I have used it as my daily driver for the past week and I'm on Sprint. Dont have to change anything in it, just flash.
Just my 2 cents

Thanks. I'm tempted to try this but the only problem is I don't have a way of going back to stock. I did, however make a backup through cwm but I wish there was an absolute stock cspire rom out there. I would love to test out developer's roms and provide feedback if somebody knows where I could get a stock rom to flash for cspire's gs3....

Just tried this and still no data. We need a dev to look into this. Apparently there is something internal in code stopping our radio from functioning properly. I have attempted to pull my RIL file and insert it in cm10 then rebooting and no luck. Still no data. Any devs out there willing to look into this for us?

[Q] [HELP] Soft Bricked i9505

I rooted my GS4 yesterday and had no issues at all until i tried to flash a MOD to obtain wireless hotspot, but what i didnt notice was the MOD was for a Sprint version GS4. I know know if thats exactly what made my phone brick but im pretty positive because it was during the reboot that the phone got stuck on the TMO screen and apparently remaining soft-bricked. I spent the rest of the night and all of today reading and researching how to fix it myself before coming here to ask for help, so please bare with me.
I have already attempted to flash the official stock firmware using Odin, but it displays an error everytime saying it failed and something about AUTH. Sorry if im sounding vague, i am on a back up phone to use the internet and forgot to right down the exact message.. Anywho, i tried wiping everything and redoing the process and i even tried to flash the appropiate PIT file that i found but it still displays an error and says failed because of some AUTH or SEC problem.
Ive been at this diligently for almost 12 hours. My brain is filled with all these suggestions and methods that i have tried to use to restore my phone back to factory, but none of them have worked. I can still get into recovery and all that, so im assuming that there is still good chance i could fix the problem?
Also i am starting to get myself more and more confused about whether the firmware i downloaded is the right one i need for my phone, it seemed so at first but now i see theres TONS of region codes that can determine the firmware version?
Sorry if im all over the place, but i just dont know which step to take next..
I appreciate any help that is given, and im even willing to pay (some) bucks or maybe even (btc) for someone to walk me through what i need to do or what im doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance

Have you followed every single thing in the return to stock thread? Including updating your drivers, using the USB cable that came with your phone, running Odin as admin, etc?

No i havent tried that threads strategy, although i have done the same exact steps but only difference i see is that the firmware file name is:
M919UVUAMDL
While the one i was trying to use earlier was:
I9505XXUAMDM
This is where im getting very confused because i cant find a cut and dry way of knowing which firmware is the correct one..

You do have the T-Mobile SGS4, correct? Any files with I9505 in the name are for the international version, which is what you flashed (not the right file). All of ours will mention SGH-M919, M919, or jfltetmo in the file name. Pull the one in the thread I linked above and push that.
Crossing your fingers while doing so couldn't hurt...
Edit: I'd recommend using the "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR" in that thread as well, not the "stock tar (original)", since the MDL is official.

Thanks so much, i feel stupid for not realizing the difference between the two haha. Im d/l the firmware from the thread you referenced as we speak so i definitely will keep my fingers crossed and let you know how it turns out!
Thanks again. Im not sure how to give a thanks on here or credit for you help but your help is definitely appreciated.

error post

If you can get into download mode i would suggest flashing stock with that then rerooting that way the program downloads all of the nessacary stuff on its own.

Service issues/RUU

What's up XDA.
I posting here on behalf of my sister, who owns this phone. I actually have a One S (great phone btw ). Anyways she's been having some issues with her data connection. There's literally zero connection all the time. I noticed her APN's were gone and it wouldn't let me add them back, so i flashed Avatar ROM from Paranoid Android and they were missing again, but came back after a reboot. I wanted to run an RUU. The problem is, I cant find one anywhere. Links to an RUU or suggestions to get this straitened out would be greatly appreciated
Shes running the Avatar ROM right now.
PS: Even after selecting the APN, her service just wont come back. A guide on running the RUU would be appreciated too

If you've changed from anything other than another 4.2.x rom (as I believe avatar is) you'll have to flash a radio as well. UVMC6 or TLMC4 are the ones for 4.2.x ROMs.

Don't get mistaken! RUUs as far as I know are only for HTC devices.
And yes, you need to flash a newer radio for the new 4.2.2 ROMs.
Hope I helped

Odd problem. ..

First off, I'm not new to rooting etc. I've previously rooted several HTC devices and achieved s-off which for those ofyou who know HTC phones, know that the process can be difficult.
That being said, I've recently switched to my very first Samsung device and have achieved root with no problems, but was unable to flash any roms. After searching for a week and coming up empty handed, I decided I'd try the all in one toolbox. I downloaded it and when checking my build number, I discovered what my problem likely is.
My phone is with telus and is the 1747M.
How have I managed to get that build number? Can I change the build easily enough? Should I leave it on that build and just use roms meant for the i9300?
Thanks in advance for your help!!

DO NOT USE i9300!! If it is a carrier device (i747[M]), which it is, you will brick your phone and have to get it JTAGGED. You need to only flash ROMs located in this section.

Please start by reading this thread, reading that thread will help you understand Rooting and installing Roms. Reading that thread will save you from Bricking your phone, as you would have done if you'd flashed a i9300 Rom onto your phone.
Sticky Roll-Up A Guide To All Guides and Q&A's

I've read all of that stuff and the answer to my question isn't there. My build number is the same as listed in i9300. I wasn't going to flash any of those roms without finding out if that was the solution to my problem. I don't want to brick my phone and therefor I stopped doing anything to it until I was able to get some help on how to proceed. I only discovered the build number issue when I tried to use the all in one toolkit and noticed my build number didn't match any of the telus ones but the 9300 ones. I guess I'll just have to continue researching on my own to figure it out. I wouldn't have posted if I wasn't stuck. Thanks anyways

Don't pay attention to build number.
Flash with Odin a pre rooted i747M image. (That's the easiest way)
Do not and I mean DO NOT flash,use,mod anything i9300 or anything international.
Please read some more. A lot more.

I'm doing some testing and other stuff and I need the baseband and modem in a flaahable zip format for use with twrp should I screw up. Can anyone plz help? I have the g920p and ill be testing the g920t roms. Just came back to sprint this week for service hehehe...... so I'm looking to get some potential new ROMs for our devices either by port or whatever.
Sorry if this is not the place for these kinda questions but I'm an impatient bastard and I don't have time to scope the web for a proper placement for these questions, wth all respect. please and thanks for the help.

I've gotten the tmo roms to boot however...
However I need the baseband for our s6 to have service and,the like.....can someone, anyone get me a twrp or flashfire flashable baseband for OCF or OE2? I've looked and looked and can't find a thing. I've tested a couple tmo roms and yes They boot up and all is well, except no signal, no baseband or anything of that nature. In my past flaahing adventures, I know flashing a baseband will at times fix,the lack there of. Help me plz and thankyou.

Wouldn't this be a kernel or rom issue? Generally, custom roms don't touch the baseband, only carrier OTAs.

Its a modem/baseband issue. It says,unknown baseband and all that stuff and the other radio like stuff is gone also. I believe a,baseband being flashed would resolve this issue. Everything else works like a charm.

So you're flashing GSM ROMs...for a CDMA device...it's not a baseband issue...it's a ROM/kernel issue...
Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Well I'm flashing every kind of rom. I REALLY,would just like the damn base and/modem please. I'm flashing all roms and the baseband and imei is broken on GSM on the cdma only the baseband is broken. This request of mine shouldn't be a matter of interrogation....more a matter of helping someone out who would like yo experiment and possibly find a way to run any rom on our devices. Be its cdma or GSM more or less the g920f as its global the the g920v/I/k roms or whatever is cdma.

No no sir that isn't what I'm seeking.....I require the modem so I can experiment with other roms. I need the modem.bin or the modem. I need this desperately. I don't mean to be rude but this should be simple to acquire from a well known and well experienced dev or someone like a dev. Can you or someone please help?

Djvoleur, i too have a sprint s6 thats gsm unlocked and ive tried plenty of stock/rooted kernels for our device with tmobile, att, verizon, sprint s6 edge, and even international cooked roms . Most of them boot when using your kernel . Theyll work with vkernel or unikernel, but as he was saying, although he was rude, the baseband is always unknown. No signal, sometimes you wont even see a X for no signal. Do you have any ideas i could try ? Ive got plenty sprint s6 phones to try this on and not worried about a brick. I know the risks. I titanium backup restore my personal phone nearly 3 times a week to figure this out. Not enough people bounce ideas off one another in this forum

Have you tried a note 5 rom? I would assume the issues from a note Sprint note one wouldn't be the same as the connectivity settings would be the same. The issue would probably be more of a hardware/programming problem. At this point, I think it would be an easier port since our device isn't as similar to the international device as we once thought it could be.

Never tried note 5 rom . I dont think that'd work without a port of device drivers n such
