Would anyone be able to have a flashable zip or odin version for boost galaxy s3.i believe if i use the stock rom it may eliminate alot of issues i am experiencing with my flashed device,any help would be greatly appreciated.
anyone?
This is the stock Samsung boost rom. But is a ODIN Flashable TAR file.

I believe that is a stock s2 rom
Would flashing a Verizon samsung s3 with a Boost Samsung s3's firmware mimic as if it were on a a Boost network?? At least in theory.
has anyone been able to get this rom? I will pay $25 for the rom. or a way to debrand sprint from the phone including the startup animation and name at the bottom of the screen when you swipe it. My phone is working 100% but I can not return it to the store with the phone showing sprint.
ANY help would me awesome.
Did you make a nandroid backup after you rooted your phone, before you flashed anything else? If so, you can boot into recovery and restore it. If not..idk.
If you get really desperate, maybe you can change your boot animation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897969 I haven't done it myself, but I will definitely be doing it later!
Don't know what you can do about your lock screen.
Titanium backup will let you delete any sprint zone/sprint id apps...and triangle away will reset your flash count to 0 if you need it.
Hope this was at least mildly helpful.
somone got it working? http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/742012-back-stock-4-1-2-a.html
its not really the stock rom but if anyone has found one please let me know...
why does the boost mobile s3 not have a section on here? and how do we change that?
Ok folks, here's my request. I'm so close to getting a zip ROM for the Boost variant, but I need a few things. Could someone contact me either on here or in PM and provide a copy of the Boost boot animation files and the build prop from a Boost S3, not one from another carrier that's been flashed to Boost. I got a zip to boot today, but it bootlooped. Not because of these files, but if I'm going to do this, I'm going to do it right, and the backup I'm using to make the zip is Boost, but the build.prop says d2vmu, and I want to make sure I'm using the right one. Thanks in advance everyone. Let me know!
Here is my build.prop from Boost GS3 d2vmu

1. Since the Galaxy S III became available as a Boost variant, there’s been an increasing amount of questions, issues, and requests for builds. I have collaborated with the powers that be, and it was determined that it might be a good idea to start a Boost only thread. This thread is dedicated to anything and everything Boost Galaxy S III related.
2. I will update and bump and sticky and edit and whatever else needs to be done the best that I can, but it is open and available to all. This is YOUR thread, just as much as it is mine. I encourage folks to ask questions, post relevant links, tutorials, helpful hints, and anything else they come across while tinkering with their new phone that may help others related to the Boost S3.
3. First and foremost, as always is the disclaimer. We are all responsible for our own actions. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone, so please do not flame me or anyone else in this thread if you do something that potentially fries your device.
4. If you post a link to something flashable, either through Odin, CWM, Heimdall, TWRP, etc, please test it on your own phone first or have someone test it before you do so. If it works, and will benefit someone, feel free to include it. I will most likely PM the dev and ask to put it in the OP.
5. And finally, please be courteous and respectful. We are all here to learn from one another, and do not need sarcasm, unkindness, flaming, or disrespect, of any kind. Thank you and enjoy.
Stock Unrooted OTA Odin Tar
This is the official, stock, right out of the box, Boost MD7. This will unroot your device, and take everything back to the way it was when you got it. Please thank the OP, Smith058, over at AF (link to OP at the bottom), since he was so gracious to let me post it here, and to let me use it to cook up something good for you folks More to come on that one! The only issue I’ve noticed on this build is there’s no boot up sound. But it flashed modem, stock recovery, put the device status back to “normal” and made the “custom” in Odin mode back to “official.” This should come in handy if you need to send it back for repair, or just want to start anew. The coming zip (once it’s uploaded) has working sound.

My phone is running a rooted version of the stock MG2 ROM. While it has the Boost startup splash "4G" screen, I don't think there ever was a sound component.
Also - If I recall correctly, some custom ROMs labelled as compatible with the Sprint Galaxy S3 will cause us to LOSE 4G SERVICE, because they do not have the Boost-specific APN settings in them, and changing APN settings on Jellybean ROMs is (apparently) not possible as it was on Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs. So beware, and make sure that any ROMs that you want to flash will not kill your 4G!

I think it was an issue with the Tar, because when I built the flashable zips, they not only had the Boost animation, but the sound component as well. And I have seen around that some Sprint ROMs will cause issues with 4g. I know that it is possible to get into change the "guts" of your phone if you have your MSL by with JB Touchwiz ROMs by dialing ##3282# from your phone's dialer. However, for some reason, with the zip I just built, it's not cooperating. I'm going to swap out secphone.apk later today, from another stock build, and see if that fixes the issue. But thanks for the heads up. That's what this thread is all about.

If you flashed the rooted one, chances are it won't let you update, but give it a try. Additionally, if you have custom recovery, which you had to in order to flash the zip, it most likely won't let you update it either. It's an Android Software update, not a firmware. I would try it, and I'm sure it will fail, but at least you won't get prompted anymore for software updates But yes, it is safe to try.

jdsingle76 is correct. It won't hurt anything, it just won't work. If you accept the update, your phone will reboot into recovery, process for a few seconds, and fail with an error. However in my experience, that will not stop the software update prompts from re-occurring. If I recall, the best way to stop them was to use something like Titanium Backup and freeze something having to do with 'OTACERTS'. It's been a while, so my info may be out-of-date on that front.
can someone please reupload the stock SPH-L710 odin tar file else where before I brick my phone accidentally, its not letting me use recovery. The root method i used did not work correctly, now my phone is now working properly and i just want to get back to stock to try a different method for rooting, i need this odin file please!

Good to see ya bro. Thanks for throwing that up there. Just noticed the dropbox link was broken for too much traffic. I have the MG2 tar from Kies as well. This weekend if I get time I'll throw both of them in AFH and/or dev-host. Hope all's well, thanks for helping out!

What file from this op are you referring to? But to answer your question, yes, you can flash ant sprint file to the boost variant, and vice versa, you just might have to change apn, mmsc, stuff like that, to get mms to work.

I have not gotten my hands on a 4.3 Odin tar yet. If you do remember it'll have Knox, and I think Knox is here to stay. Ice heard rumors about Kit Kat for this phone but nothing's come out yet. Thanks for the support!

Don't fret. .. If kitkat comes out there will definitely be a custom rom made with it that you will be able to flash. With root you will have many more options than you ever will with stock.
I am very close to pulling the trigger on buying an M9. I have searched and searched both on here and with google on how to do a stock backup of a newly purchased M9, but everything posted is how to recover from a downloaded image.
Does anyone know a link or can give me a nudge as to where to find out how to make a stock nandroid backup of a newly purchased M9? Is it even possible? I would like to take an image that does not have root and will allow me to revert back to my original stock image and get OTA updates.
I am new to the android scene in the sense of flashing roms and tinkering. I usually just use stock settings, but android it getting way too bloated and way too invasive, especially with permissions. I really would like to tinker with some custom roms and some root software that strips bloat and controls network access and the like.
I have read tons on twrp and cwm and how to root this phone. I have the general gist, but I have not seen anthing on making a nandroid backup after initial purchase.
Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated.

+1, it's possible to return back to being able to take official OTAs, but you HAVE to nail it the first time The twrp thread will give you more information.
