I'm sorry if i broken any rules i'm new this, i just receive a s3 i order from ebay a few days ago i wanted to flash the sprint L710 to boost mobile using a samsung prevail as a donor phone i went through hours of reading comments on xda and many others forum and i also watch like 40 vids on youtube but 98% of them was showing s3's that was flash to boost with no description how it was done or what kind of s3 it was. I'm starting to lose hope about flashing this phone im to the point of paying someone to flash it for me but i dont know who to ask or where to go to.
P.S will the cmda L710 be capable boost mobile gsm network once its flashed

I got an Evo for the intention of flashing it to boost mobile. Then I saw virgin mobile and decided i wanted to flash to them instead (same service half the price). I ended up going with metro pcs and I spent maybe 12 hours today working on this thing. I CANT FIND ONE TUTORIAL THAT WORKS! Also I'm now finding out that you cant use the evo with 3g in New York, apparently that's where I live hence a problem. Can someone point me to a good PRL, Tutorial on how to flash to metro, and a funny picture that can make me happy because I'm very angry.
can someone respond? i have a $500 touch screen desk ornament just hanging out...staring me down, mocking me
Dang 1:49 minutes, relax...
First off, you can't just flash your EVO to metro yourself. You need to go to a metro store and have them add the ESN to their database. This will active the phone and get it working for talk and text, just get the $40 plan!
To get MMS and web working follow bloody's info and flash his ROM to make life easy.

Now to make you mad, Metro does not have 3g, you will only get 2G. The good news is there are ways to potentially get Clearwire 4G working for either free or cheap.
Virgin Mobile won't active the EVO since Sprint owns them and they don't want people flocking to the cheap plans. If you find someone that will actually do this let me know I would be very interested!
My esn is already in their database and I had service until I flashed my prl and now I have no bars can someone post the sprint prl for new york and had was it clear wire for free

If you want Metro to work you need a metro PRL, search around it is easy to find, howard forums has a sticky, the PRL you need 02004
As for clear do read bloodykiller86 metrodroid ROM thread I posted info there on how to get clearwire to work.

Also, if you want to try a service with faster internet connection (4g), try Simple Mobile. $60 a month plans.
I need to fully flash my Epic to Metro PCS so that 3g internet, mms, and gps work. Im on 2.3.6 rooted, stock rom. I went to a corporate MetroPCS store and got the phone flashed, thats only talk and text though. Any guides for doing this, i only see things for the EVO.
not sure if it will still work and i had to do some deep searching to find this but this is what i came up with

The stated thread above is all the info we have on it. Should work, but only on outdated eclair roms that have iptables. It's not worth the hassle of you ask me, and if you're with metro because of the rates, and prepaid, i suggest you switch to Virgin Mobile. You buy a cheap Samsung intercept, follow my Epic 4G to Virgin Mobile guide in android development, and you'll get sprint service in just about anywhere, without worrying if you're in a metro coverage area. The only downside I've found with virgin mobile is that there is no roaming, while metro is unlimited free roaming. The choice is yours in the end, but it'll be way too complicated to get everything working with metro, and even then, the speeds are not going to be anywhere close to 3G speeds.

incognito works really well, i have flashed 3 gs3's with incognitos.. i have also used a 1xphone (samsung seek) to flash an evo
the gs3 on boost worked great and you can even surf and talk at the same time!!
Anyone know how to get the Samsung factor in diag mode?
how does surf and talk at the same time work? can I enable this on my sprint s3 as well ? (I have 2 S3 boost and sprint)
oh no crap just tried it and data DOES work on boost s3 while talking. Nice.

It's usually ##8778# for Samsung phones and ##DIAG# for HTC. If you're running a non-Touchwiz rom, it would be *#*#8778#*#* (or DIAG instead of 8778)

Incognitos are the ones that I use. I've heard the Prevail is good as well but more pricey. I haven't heard of being able to with the Innuendo yet though.

You can talk and surf at the same time only on LTE (4g). If you are on 3g, you can only do one at a time.

That is incorrect. The S3 is capable of talking and surfing on the Internet on 3g. It is an EVDO capable device and most likely the last of its kind.

I found a youtube video where someone used a Sanyo Juno boost phone for a doner.
I would love to know how it works out if anyone can try it these are evern cheper than the incognetos
Hey guys I'm about to buy an at&t galaxy s3 but my service is under tmobile so I have a few questions. As for making it run all I need to do is unlock the phone and put my tmobile sim in right? I also have seen that the 3g won't work, does this mean I have no internet access (other than wifi)? Also is there any way around this?
And any other issues I should know about before buying the att version?
I realize some of these have been answered already, but I am very new to the smartphone game so a lot of the terms I see in other posts confuse me :silly:
You can run edge which is pretty slow internet.
You can unlock for free. Look into general section.
I guess you need to change apn but not sure on that

Unlock the phone
You can get 2g/edge speeds whatever you want to call it, just in put the tmobile apn. If there is 1900 service on tmobile you would get the 4g. I'm using an iphone 5 on 2g speeds, it gets the job done for basic browsing and email.
I'm fully experienced with my SII E4GT and currently running Jellyverse and know the ins and outs of rooting/modding/roms etc..
However, I am not familiar what it would take to use my phone on another carrier besides sprint.. Do I just need the kernel for that rom?
A friend wants to get virgin mobile service... They charge $299 for the Galaxy S2 4g. I have a rooted and custom modded E4GT. If I gave that phone to my friend, what would it take to be able to activate and use through Virgin Mobile w/4g?
I did find this but still am not sure what I'd have to do to run my Sprint E4GT on Virgin Mobile network with full features.
