This is my first post. Whenever i try to flash a sprint version of any rom on my gs3 from boost my LTE doesn't work. The only way my data will work is if i switch it to CDMA which means no 4g. I even tried dialing ##72786# to reset my data connection but that didn't work either. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

I finally tried something that I never did before. Before flashing the rom I wiped my dalvik and cache partition. When I did that everything worked fine. 3g and 4g is working. I'm currently on the peoples rom Thanks for the help.

I was wondering did you flash stock Sprint rom first? Also did you have to do the MMS fix? I am trying to flash a custom rom for my mothers new S3 but I am not really too sure about it since it is on Boost. If I wanted to flash back to stock, would I just use the stock Sprint firmware again? Did you flash 4.3 or an earlier version? I heard that the new 4.3 update has the Knox built in like the newer devices but not too sure if what I read was correct

That's correct. If your data doesn't work you'll have to change your APN settings since most of these ROMs are for the sprint s3 and not the boost mobile. I flash ROMs a lot and sometimes the data work so I won't have to change my APN. If you need help with that I can help

thanks very much for your reply, you are the right person ive been looking for about a month now. i have downloaded a sprint stock rom JB 4.3 from sammobile for which id be flashing to my new boost mobile s3.
the essence here is am in Ghana with this device and obviously i have to change carrier because i cant have boost service here. My phone is still fresh in box and locked for that matter (only upgraded to JB 4.3 OTA). I would just like to unlock it for NAM configuration any help? Do i realy need to flash a sprint rom first?
version (*#1234#)
AP: L710VPUBMK5
CP: L710VPUBMK5
CSC: L710SPTBMK5
PLS HELP ME UNLOCK THIS DEVICE
I really don't know how to unlock a phone but I wouldn't mess with your phone since you did the OTA update to get 4.3. You have Knox now and that's bad to have. You can mess your phone up and void your warranty if you do anything with that knox

I haven't messed with Metro since last year when I set up my wife with my a Sprint S2 on Caulkins ROM. I recall having to mess with setting manual APN settings to get data to work.
Is that still the case with these newer roms?

Not really, APN settings these days are usually in regards to getting MMS to work. I do recall losing my Metro flash while flashing ROM's around on my Droid 2 back in the day. Not sure if there's any situation in which the Metro flash could possibly be wiped with the Epic 4g Touch but that might be a thought to keep in mind. Good luck!
So I have my S4 unlocked and am using it with Metro now that they started to offer SIM cards. Everything works great with the stock T-Mo ROM. However, I would just for a day or two like to use the Metro ROM. If anyone is willing to upload a copy or knows where I can get one, let me know. Thanks.
Also waiting on this anyone have any info. Also if anyone does upload or find one will this stock rom bring everything back to stock including the recovery mode to make it look as if nothing ever happened. I guess what im really hoping for is a stock firmware anyone have a download link to one. or know of any info.
You guys should be able to use samsung keis .I used it to get back to stock when odin failed on me and it works .However you must provide the full model number and serial number of the device for it to work and it works like odin but its slower but it works it always a good when you have options especially when you need to revert to stock rom in order to send it in for repair's or exchange after you have downloaded samsung keis on your pc or laptop go ahead set it up and you will see the tabs at the top it will be the one on the right click it and follow the directions to the letter and if you've done everything correctly it will install the stock firmware and rom to your device and when its done it will reboot the s4 and your back to stock good luck

Hey thanks for the advice but for some reason samsung has not support for our device yet i installed kies before reading this trust me i tried looking everywhere for the stock firmware. in keys it just says your device is not supported. but what is weird is i dont know if i should call it a tmobile phone or just a knock off tmobile phone reason for this is. in google play store if on browser it asks u witch device to install to and it says the correct device number but at the end states tmbile. now even in kies it does this it says m919n tmb for tmobile. so im not sure what to do should i just flash tmobile firmware and then just unlock it cuz i mean from everything im coming up with it just seems that this s4"metropcs" phone is just a tmobile phone with an n and if thats the case a tmo firmware should work on it right??
Before you start flashing firmware's did you take out the battery .because thats where you can confirm that it is a sgh m919 if there is another letter at the end of m919 then you should do more research that way you dont end up with a bricked device. However if it's sgh m919 I would flash the M919 firmware for tmobile and call it a day and by the way you can get the stock firmware from chain fire's thread

I know for a fact that I have a T-Mobile m919. All I wanna do is try out the stock ROM that comes with the Metro PCS variant. No reason for it aside from curiosity.
Any links, info, or anything appreciated. Thanks.
To be honest with you I dont think you guys would ever see a stock metro pcs rom on xda because it wasn't sopprted in the past thats why you guys aren't getting anywhere with it .as a side not it always better to be safe than sorry even if is a extra step to take out the battery and check the model number there and you can check the serial number at the same location ive witness it countless times all because they wanted flash stock firmware a xtra step never killed anyone the last time I checked.

I do have a SGH-m919n. all I am wondering is if there is any location for me to find a stock metropcs firmware. I know its not supported on this site as i have looked but there really is no other big site out there. All i want to do is have a backup firmware for my phone before i start trying out new things. I do have a SGH-m919n for a fact it is just weird that everywhere i look as explained before google store and kies they both say i have a tmobile phone if you want i can provide screen shots.
Your didnt understand what I was saying . Xda has never supported any stock firmware for metro pcs.thats why your having a hard time getting any support for the stock firmware .and as a side note it is clear that you can't flash the stock firmware for the tmobile variant code name SGH M919

Since you have a M919n, notice the N at the end of the model number, why don't you do a factory restore and save the image before you boot up again? Once you have that back up you can then upload it and share
This is all assuming you have the stock Metro ROM to begin with.

I really need the Metro Rom cause I just rooted it and wanted to unroot it and I couldn't find the metropcs stock firmware so I used T-Mobile's by accident and I can't switch back to The metro rom! I really need it.
---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------
Ok, here's my story. I rooted my MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S4. I wanted to unroot it but used the T-Mobile .tar file when I was unrooting it and now when I boot my phone, it shows T-Mobile on the booting proccess, though when I am brought to the lock screen, in the bottom it says MetroPCS. Does anyone know how to go back to original stock firmware? I don't know how to get it for the MetroPCS version.
Tired of waiting. Went with 4.3 GPe, haven't looked back. Owning a Nexus 7 I couldn't be happier. Still wouldn't mind trying out that Metro ROM for fun. There is a demand for it. Just saying.

Thx, I look foward to it, also I have a question. How exactly do you upload a tarp stock backup, my family member also has the galaxy s4 from metro and I could borrow it from him and upload it but the problem is I don't know how to.
Well number one you will need to root it and numder 2 you will need to install a custom recovery and number 3 once your custom is installed I suggest cwm and the person that needs the tar backup must also have cwm custom recovery as well .boot into recovery and do a complete backup .When thats done go to cwm backup folder and you should see the tar backup .now you upload it to where ever you need it and that s it on your part is done .Now it's up to person you've uploaded to and all he or she needs to do is download it and then move it to the cwm backup folder and when thats done your ready to flash the backup all should go well as long as the stock tar backup doesn't get corrupt .good luck

I'm on boost mobile too....Don't do what you're planning! All you need to do is download lorjay589's 4.3 rom or the Synergy 4.3 rom (full rom..deodex version) also grab the wifi fix file and mk4 modem (optional)
Then back up apps with titanium backup and then create a nandroid backup. ...then do full system wipe except sdcard I ran wipes 3 times with twrp then flashed the rom then reboot....it will start to boot and then it'll pause on Samsung screen with blue light flashing. ...just wait...5 min or so then it'll boot...setup rom settings then reboot into download mode. Then run odin and flash wifi fix through odin (pda tab) then reboot...If it hangs or even if it boots reboot one more time then you'll be up and running 4.3 wifi and all. Done....again don't bother with the file you downloaded from sammobile!
mk4 update.
Hi. I recive your msm after i did the update. Let me tell you men, it looks amaising, beautiful. Everything
Works perfect and i root it too.. trust me. Works perfect..every time i flash a rom with custom recovery my note 2 lloose the flashand goes back to sprint..i notice that the wifi gets a little weak some times, so i dont know if i should flash the wifi path. How you flash that? With odin? How can i get it? Thanks in advance...
The download link no longer active. Any mirror?
Why does 4.3 look better on other phones like the S4 and Note 3? I see little things that we don't have on our Notes. Like updated weather widget, the homescreen circles where replaced for a home or flat lines depending on what screen you're in and just other minor stuff I can't think of at the moment. Was our Touchwiz updated with this update or just our OS?

Not really what I was asking lol.. I know their whole scheming procedure to get you to update just curious to know if touchwiz was not updated or not. They don't need to give us note 3 features just to revamp how ours looks. Also I don't flash nor want to void my warranty.

well touchwiz was updated but not as much as the s4. we got new settings tab stock 4.3 with a few added options.
Not enough of an update imo so I flashed synergy and the note3 pak. Now this feels like an update !
"UN"Flash from boost???
So I have a galaxy Note II (or 2) that I have had on Boost for about a month, and I am not liking how it acts, never 4G, and no hotspot. I found Ting, and would like to try it to see if it is much better. How do I unflash my phone? Already have the telephone number switched to Ting. I also have a S2 that my wife is using and I need to do that phone also... any help would be GREAT!!

...If you flash to a different carrier your 4g LTE will NEVER work. If you want 4g you're going to need to buy a phone from the carrier you want LTE on. The hot spot will work if you flash a deodexed ROM and apply the native hot spot hack. Flashing to a different carrier will do nothing to help any of the issues you mentioned. I have Boost on my Note 2 and LOVE it. Can't beat unlimited talk/text/3g on a phone they don't even offer for $35 a month. Eat it Sprint.

Just checked for updates as described in other threads and it found the latest 4.3 update. I have read both positive and negative responses to the update. Some found things they used in 4.1.2 that are being taken away. Some like the new features in 4.3. It will vary from person to person whether the ROM is better for them or not. Fact is, all devices (current and future) are moving forward.
Should I just install the update? Should I make a copy of my current setup with one of the recoveries, then odin back, and run triangle away?
Strange. I went ahead and updated. Even after doing two complete resets, I still have SU app from 4.1.2. I guess it carried the program during the upgrade process?

it basically dirty flashed the new update over your 4.1.2. I honestly didn't care much about the KNOX boot loader since my warranty is already over. but, I find not having to flash devil kernel so much easier w/ less lag.

Hopefully someone will develop something that resets the KNOX counter. Triangle worked for 4.1.2, but does not work in 4.3 for me.
BTW, what 4.3 ROMs do you like, since we have the new bootloader? I just installed TWRP and trying to decide on a ROM.

Me, personally, I did like JediMasterX till' I ran into a bunch of problems. so I went to the At&T forum. & I downloaded DN3. Its an amazing ROM & the features are just spectacular.

exactly why I didn't care much for the T-Mobile ROMs. it works spectacular. w/ the new boot loader you won't have to flash devil kernel to get WiFi working. and there's no data drops. + we get the N3 features.

I am installing DN3 and am in their installer. It asks me whether I want the N7105 version... or the i317 or i317M. I read to install the ATT version, but what's the difference in the M and non-M version?
So I have a question I hqvent been on in a while and last I checked the newest update came with a locked bootloader. I know it did for the s3. I liked the newest software on the s3 but I jus5 cant stand all that bloat and not having full control of my phone. That s3 was killing me. I just got my note2 back from samsung with a nice new screen and of coure they forgot to send the spen with it. Not that I use the stupid thing anyway but still come on. Anyway is the bootloader locked on this one also and how hard is that to get around?

theyre for different companies i believe. as how ours (T889) also has a T889v ( i think thats the right letter) version as its for a different conpany. I installed using the ATT one. there's really no difference because you're just going to flash a tmobile modem over it.

yes the boot loader is locked. I don't believe there's a workaround it yet. but I'm even sure. you can scroll around through the threads and see if there is. what I did was just update it anyways and tripped my KNOX boot loader to ox1. I didn't have warranty anyways so I'm not tripping over it. and then I just rooted it, flashed cwm and started to flash ROMs.

Thank you. So is the root process the same? Usually i flash twrp with odin then install su permissions then I flash away. Or do I have to use another method? Really all I want is the modem software so I could just wait till someone pulls it out they usually do. I always liked c heckin out the latest stock rom but always changed back to aokp.

I wrote instructions on how I rooted. there could be other methods to. this is easiest for me! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2562994
if you're going to end up on aokp, you should just stay on the 4.1.2 boot loader. the update to me is really only for TW roms because the stock ROMs are working just fine w/o the new boot loader.

This S3 is on the rom right before KitKat. Can I flash a Virgin Mobile rom to it without bricking the phone? From what I can find about the S3(i'm new to this phone), flashing roms from different carriers will brick it.

You can flash Sprint roms, but the ones that are NOT unified builds, you may have recovery errors until you remove asserts from the rom.

basically, the phones, as stock, are the same, except for the modem. like mk3 for Sprint, and mk7 for Boost. I would say you could, having to remove asserts from the rom going to Sprint phone. You may have MMS and APN issues as well.

You can flash Sprint to Boost/VM and vice versa with MK3 and MK5, with no need to change or remove anything. Just flash back and forth at will. Some may require a wifi fix, which is basically just the stock kernel repacked, but other than that, and the carrier bloat and tagging, they are 100% interchangeable
