Okay, I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that is currently running on Android 4.2.2.
I have already installed SuperSU, ROM Manager and Cyanogenmod 10.2.
Before all of this I was running on Android 4.1.2. Now what do I do?
I want to make this phone work for Virgin Mobile. I want to make sure the 4G LTE works as well
considering VM uses Sprints tower so I'm pretty sure it is possible.
Can someone point me to the right direction on what I should do next?
Do I have to download a Virgin Mobile ROM or what?

i have Sprint S3 that i will soon be using with Virgin Mobile USA.
I love touchwiz interface (as in the stock sprint rom) but if im on VM isnt it possible there could be an update (from sprint) that could wipe all my custom settings that put the phone on VM network?
is there a way or a rom that will let me still do updates without wiping my carriers specific settings?
i know CM10 can do this for the D2SPR (my sprint s3) through its auto update but it dont have touchwiz?
so i guess my question is what would be the most "STABLE" and "Similar" rom to the stock Sprint rom that can still do big updates without messing with carrier specific settings when the updates get done?
thanks
Hey guys, I just got a S3 off of craigslist and have T-Mobile service but still have an AT&T ROM so mobile hotspot, nav and other features aren't working. Is there a T-Mobile RUU available or would I be better off rooting it and going with a custom ROM?
So T-Mobile Rom on an AT&T device is ok?
Like they have no problems..
Just being cautious.I'll flash and see one and update you!!

So far I've used the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682) to root and install CWM recovery. From recovery I successfully flashed Jelly Beans build 15 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973982) and so far everything appears to be working well except for 4g. In the notification area I have "G" and then "3G" but no 4G even in areas where I could pick it up before flashing.
This is an AT&T S3 (i-747) and I used the i-747 image to root/ flash recovery via the toolkit and then flashed the Tmobile variant of Jelly Beans.
Figured it all out. Thanks to this thread I was able to successfully flash a T-Mobile i747 engineering rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771021) which also flashed the modem enabling TMo frequencies. Then I was able to reroot and flash a recovery meant for a t999 so in essence my phone is no longer an i747 but a t999 but with a radio that actually supports 4g/ lte. Basically what the new S3 Tmo is launching. My Jellybeans rom which was based off of a verizon build wouldn't allow 4g so I had to replace it with Darthstalker (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442) which I haven't played around with too much yet but so far is awesome (native tethering works, one of my complaints about other roms). Ah 4G is nice, hit 12Mbps down... So long Sprint... So long Evo "4G"
thank you for the info! very helpful
What area are you, where you get those dl and up speeds? Thanks for the links!

I need Help to get CM10.1.3 on my Galaxy S3 from Boost Mobile. I'm not a really big fan of the UI Samsung Has (Touch Wiz). I prefer stock. CM is closest to stock and is the best ROM for my Previous Devices. But I want to flash it on my Boost Mobile Galaxy S3 ._.
I've tried everything but all I get is error spdp2 (something like that) error.
I downloaded the Sprint CM since some people Imported them to there Galaxy's S3 on Virgin Mobile. But I want someone to tell me how to.
Thanks very much.

You just need to find the stock kernel for your carrier and flash it.
Trying to install either the newest version of Android or cyanogenmod. I have a Samsung S4 Mini serranoltetfnatt SM-S890L. It is the straight talk version running 4.2.2 jelly bean. I have successfully rooted with kingroot and need some instructions or pointed on the right area for switching or upgrading my rom. Hope im in the correct area. Thanks.

Assuming you still have this device and still want to upgrade I'm going to be working on a port for this in the near future. I just picked one up for my kids to play with.
