i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data
Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.
Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

Whoa, what happened to your original post?
So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

It is flashable to metropcs? I read somewhere that the sprint one is a qualcom based phone. How do you know forsure? They said it has the qualcom sticker in it when you buy it
It can be flash to metropcs

If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?
As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

How would you get the ESN into MetroPCS's inventory if there's NO MORE Houdini and being that it's a ESN beginning with 99XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
PM if needed! Thanks!
Sph-L700 sprint galaxy nexus
No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.
What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.
You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...
ok First sorry for posting this but im too frustrated trying to search with my horrible signal on my device at home ..
my signal was excelent i moved a few miles down and now its practically USELESS
im on ics ota at the moment (exchanged phone)
im just wondering if anybody has had any huge successes with using different modems (please keep in mind before posting if you so choose I have 0-1 bars all over the and house and in the backyard , i dont think a different modem would give me 5 bars ya know )
i seen around here and app that was called roam control i think , but i had no need for it as i used to get 10+ mbs but i cant find it anymore i thought it was free ?
dude i just wanna go on youtube craigslist and FB n stuff like i used to
tried the 3/g4/g speed tweak already
thanks in advance
Oh yeah forgot to say sprint says there's excellent 4g coverage in my area and it must be my house. Hella dumb !i can't even pick up a signal let alone 4g

hey. i think u have two options, well actually three if you consider jumping ships.
you can use the following link and push a prl to your phone that enables you to roam on Verizon, you will need RoamControl ($3.99 sold here http://www.roamctrl.com/) to manage between roaming and home state.
Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898628
be careful with your roaming usage. they WILL terminate you if you use it a lot. i believe Sprint allows 800 roaming minutes and 300 MB of data per month or at least that is what i was told. the 3g speeds are slow and you cant roam on their 4g because its lte and not wimax.
Or you can call sprint and ask for an ariave. somewhere in these forums there is a post with the direct number to order it from Sprint. the airave only work at your home and you must have internet connection. if you nag enough they would not charge you for it.
Good luck to you.
Edit: Airave Number
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407446
A lot of us are getting 0-1 bars.
Sprint has either turned down the tower reception, or this phone just sucks.
I had 2 HTC 4g devices before this, and I had FULL bars all the time in my house. Then I got this phone, and 0-1 and barely can connect to wifi, sitting next to my router.

Everyone talks about 800 roaming minutes and 300 mb roaming data, idk but my contract with sprint and account on Site say otherwise (Unlimited Roaming data and 1500 roaming minutes) why yours is different? I'm in Puerto Rico.

I just switched from Sprint to ATT because Sprint still doesn't have 4G LTE in my area. Currently using JB's Jellybomb on my Sprint Note 2. Can I use the same rom on ATT or will it brick my phone?
I've searched to forums, and see conflicting answers, so forgive me if this has been addressed before.
You won't brick it but I could not configure it for data

I'm in for answer as well...
I mean, it's safe to flash any ROM for the Note 2, whether it's Sprint, t-mo, or international because we have the same hardware(aside from fm radio)?
Then maybe stab at apn settings for network to work=win?
Yea if its packed with a radio etc your borked. I tried jelly bomb on here but I couldn't get the APN settings configured correctly. It may have to do with a CDMA base which didn't allow me to set APN but that's only speculation.

Hi guys, i have a s3 i747 that has been unlocked and ready to be used on other gsm networks.
I went to a metropcs store and had the phone activated and sim card inserted, my imei was connected fine and everything went great.
I instantly had EDGE(1x or 2g) and even after hours of searching and phone calls to metropcs all i can find is APN solutions that dont work.
I currently live in Dallas/Ft Worth so i know the LTE coverage for Metropcs/Tmo is amazing it just ill not connect to LTE.
How do i get LTE to work on this device ??
Phone Specs
Has root
Unlocked
S3 i747 from At&t
Worked fine on At&T for LTE
Su keeps for closing at start because it says security issues
Stock rom on 4.3 but it says custom build under about settings for some reason.
Data speed is about 0.09-0.10mbps
Any help would be great. Sorry if this is a repost of other types of threads but i never found answers and did not want to re awaken old threads.

This issue seems popular this week.
If it's like the others, it's an issue from unlocking. the nv file gets damaged. The solution so far is to use nv-reader-writer to copy another phone's nv file and replace yours with it.
have you tested *#*#4636#*#* method? just mess around with the preferred network and see
I'm on Tmobile and worked fine with LTE
Where could i find a nv file for the s3 i747?

So when i switch to wcdma it gets 4g but some reason my phone gets no signal, then gets barely any and it says emergency calls only. This is highly frustrating. Is there a guide for NV??

Sir, i tried to use the nv tool but it keeps saying phone wont connect.
i have the drivers installed, it sees my ports for the phone, i go to connect and it does, but when i click read device it fails. Ive had no boxes checked, one box checked and both boxes for spc and fast read(i think it is) checked. No Go either way. Any suggestions for this? Then i can see if the NV Writer is a solution. Also i can use my own NV file right??? Or would that just be a corrupted file being reloaded ?? If thats the case how do i find a clean NV file for a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 for AT&T??? Thanks again for the help brother
I would think you would need to load an NV of a different s3. I will try to load my NV here in a few and see what happens. PM me also

Ok guys i tried some settings. a guy i know tried to inject the AWS for Tmobiles band freq. and it didnt work.
SOooooooooo im thinking we might have to skip AT&T phones on metro/tmo and get a tmo phone or a AT&T phone that supports AWS band freq.

Wait....How are you getting 4g ?? it might not be LTE but da*m its faster than Edge. Could you tell me your apn, and your settings if you changed anything since you first switched to metropcs.
Like dial star, hash(number sign)twice, the 4636 and star,hash star, hash and go to device info, then screen shot, then scroll down and screen shot again where i can see "set preferred network"
also man are you sure you have the S3 I747 from AT&T??
Make sure you are checking your connection in Settings > About Device > Status > Network Type
You cant always trust what's displayed in the status bar. Especially when using a custom rom or using a device on a different network than it was intended for.
Yea man I know. I've checked everything and says edge still.
I think it's based on your radio and kernel. Brad what kernel and radio you using.?
I'm on 4.3 Rooted and stock.
hi,
im using sprint galaxy note 2 sph-l900 running 4.4 kitkat rooted and i cant get 4g lte, i can get only 3g if i use the cdma network mode. other modes(lte/cdma, gsm/umts, automatic) dont work. if i set to any other mode i wont get data or signal. i do update prl i get internal error (1500), when i restart my phone, hands free activation launches up and the n i get same error when it finishes.
