Hello I have a S3 from sprint that has been flashed to cricket.
It has a clean esn and everything, I would just like to use it on Sprint again.
I have searched google and xda but ive only found one post about it that's pretty vague.
Is there any write ups of anything on how to flash it back.
Or can someone help me out?
I have already flashed the PRL back to sprint.
I would like to flash it to stock.
forgive me I am new to Samsung and flashing.
Im coming from an htc.
any help would be appreciated my me and aybody else that happens to read this.

Ok, so let me start off by saying that I am a NOOB and I apologize for that. I have a Motorola Atrix 4G on the Bell network in Canada. A while back I got the bright idea to try rooting and installing custom rom but unfortunately bricked my phone. Since then, I've got working again by flashing a different SBF onto it. I do realize that there is no way for me to get OTA updates now and the Gingerbread release just happened in Canada. Is there any other way for me to get gingerbread on my phone? All help is appreciated, thanks.
Oh ya and I've tried searching what seems like the entire internet to find something that can help me out. Just in case someone thinks I haven't been doing my part. ;-)
First of all, I hope this is posted in the correct subforum and please forgive me if it is not...
I recently flashed my HTC Droid Incredible 2 to Cricket for my girlfriend to use temporarily until she purchased a new Cricket phone. I used QPST to modify the necessary settings from Verizon to Cricket and everything worked out perfectly.
Now, I am wanting to restore my DINC2 back to Verizon and was wondering if anyone knew of a quick method of doing so. I am not sure if I am able to remember all of the different carrier settings I modified in QPST to revert it back to Verizon, so I was wondering if there is another way I could flash it back. The phone is rooted and I have a NANDROID backup of the stock ROM from Verizon, but I don't believe that it would restore any of the additional settings I modified.
I am unfamiliar with what exactly an RUU other than the fact that it is a package of the ROM, radio, etc. all in one. Can I somehow flash a RUU through RECOVERY mode to restore it to a stock (hopefully rooted) Verizon phone? If anyone can please help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!

Try an RUU. If it doesn't work, wait until someone who knows wtf they're doing posts

I'm in a similar boat lately. My wife and I have had our Dinc2's on cricket for about a year now and we're about to leap back over to the Verizon world. Did you ever figure this out? I was thinking an RUU would return it to stock, but was unsure.
I know there's been multiple threads on this topic but I can't figure out how to solve it after reading each one. Here's my story. I rooted it and then flashed CM10 via cwm recovery and everything was working fine. One day later without doing anything my 4g started slowing down and eventually I can't get anything but edge. I looked around xda and found out that i might be missing my IMEI. Sure enough my IMEI was a 0. I tried recovering to a back up but that didn't fix it so I injected it back in via Peoplearmy's method. The IMEI is now in place but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. I tried using odin to flash it back to stock which worked but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? I have contacted Peoplearmy but he hasn't replied yet and i need this fixed asap so it would be great if someone could help me out. This is the T-mobile version of the s3. If you need any more information please ask. Thanks. I would post this in another place but I don't have enough posts. Relatively new here.
okay so this is what i got. BTW im doing this for a friend im familiar with moto droids so im not a noob. but im not so familiar with the epic 4g touch. so i was givin this phone to try and help a friend he received it form someone because his galaxy was broke so basically its been flashed from working on sprint to now verizon and he needs it back to sprint. i know its running 4.0.4 ics but i dont know what all it had done to it if its a custom rom but it dosnt so much look so it looks like standard ics. so how do i go about getting it back to sprint network. ive done some reading but no-one has been decisive about it. any knowledegable help is appreciated. thanks in advance

Did you try flashing anyone of this odin one clicks? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
Can't tell what you exactly did to flash on verizon so why not just start back fresh on sprint? Ofcourse backup your stuff first..
I had a Droid X from Verizon that I had flashed to boost. If I wanted to flash a rom I had to put the rom I wanted on the phone, then have it flashed to boost. My point is, flashing anything rom-wise would have made it a Verizon phone again. Like doing a factory reset. If you did a factory reset, it'd load sprint stuff again.
Odin safe recovery
Wipe data, cache, etc.
Flash a modem (maybe not necessary but I'd do it)
Flash a rom
Enjoy.

Hi this is my first post, I searched diligently but couldnt find my answer tonight. I have a Sprint gs3 flashed to Metropcs that was working great with Synergy rom. Tonight trying to update the prl I entered accidentally the ##72786# code thinking it would help but it erased my own phone number so now I can't use the phone. If anyone can help It would be appreciated. :angel:
