Hey first post on here, but I recently flashed a sprint S3 to metro, and I`m wondering if I can still use the same roms I was using when this phone belonged to sprint? The guy at metro didnt touch my root but he did install some random rom in replace of the one I came in there with..

What's the name of the ROM he installed? Usually if the phone is flashed correctly to different carrier like metro and apns are correct, Sprint roms will work.

Not the same phone but I flashed my Sprint HTC Evo LTE to Page Plus and never had issues with flashing Sprint base roms. The rom should not affect your flash. I even updated the Firmware to the latest and that didn't affect my flash either. Although the guy who flashed my phone to Page Plus said ; never update the firmware as it would Bork my flash. He was wrong

Hello XDA,
Well I just wanted to let people know that most of the Rom's made available for DInc2 are amazing, Problem I've noticed they aren't compatible with Metro Pcs, in no rom was i able to successfully put the phone in Diag Mode. or OTA download Metro Pcs PRL file, so what i came to fine out is STICK with stock version of DInc2 rom, Unless someone here know a better solution to fix this issue?
Issue I found:
*After Successful flash to metro pcs then update to custom rom will lose all connection to metro pcs, and cant download PRL Files.
pcboy, do you have any updates on this? I'm looking to move over to Metro as well and I don't want to buy a new phone. I've read that using Houdinisoft to flash over will work but I won't have access to the internet - that's really not an option.
I also saw you posted in the developers section and I tried replying to that but I can't. You stated you were having some FC issues, have they been resolved yet? Was your brothers internet working? If so what did he/you use to flash? Which rom are you running? I'm currently using CM7.
i plan on doing this in a few days. i have had many other phones from other carriers flashed for metro and the only thing you need houdini for is to get your esn in their database. im sure there is a way like it used to be where you would just have to load something like qpst and load a prl on.
I sucessfully rooted and installed Chainfire3D, but installing the drivers to play the Tegra 3 games caused me to get stuck on Samsung Logo on boot. The awesome person that I am I didn't do a backup .
So I installed a N7100 Custom ROM with CWM and it boots. As you'd suspect the radio doesn't work so I get no signal. On my LG Optimus 3D I could flash the baseband to make the radio work. Is there any process like that for the SGNII?
I'm a little skeptical to use Odin3 to revert to stock ATT even though I have Rogers Note II. Not sure if I'll lose root and access to CWM and brick it fully.
Is my only solution to wait for a Custom ROM for ATT? Sprint and T-Mobile versions already have Custom ROMs. Any DEVs working on ROM for ATT?
I share the same problem with you Hopefully someone put a stock rom so we can flash it and forget about this problem!
Fingers crossed!

As the phone officially is released tomorrow I am sure it will pop up custom ROM. But that you managed to flash international on your Rogers phone. Is that the exact same phone as ATT is going to be? If so that is amazing news!! That was my only concern about the ATT note as I was disappointed in the dev for ATT galaxy S 3 compared to the international.
Brave man. Shame you missed to take the backup first though. Good luck!

No choice, soft bricked thanks to Chainfire3D. The international ROMs work but no signal or IMEI. The models are different from the international version and the ATT version. If I'm not mistaken the radios are different and run on different bands for LTE.

Yes. The radios are different and needs to be repacked for sure or just have the ROM without radio.Fairly common to. IMEI however is an issue...

Hi everyone. I have my aunts phone and im trying to give her a new rom. I think she is on stock rom now . Her phone is a Sprint GS3 and she already paid someone to put it on metro. Since its already flashed to metro, can I just put an updated sprint Rom on there and it will work?
So I rooted my sg3 and it was sprint but a while back I flashed it to old cricket now I can't install and Samsung galaxy s3 sprint ROMs please help
I've already dome that still nothing
Nope it still says cricket when I activate it and still won't let me install sg3, sprint roms
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist if Rom is not installing then you may require to flash back your stock firmware
Good Luck !
still nothing
It still won't work for me
