[Guide] Sprint/Verizon Galaxy SIII Flash to Page Plus Cellular Tutorial [Video]

I No longer support this thread due to the lack of time I have lately. This video will show you how to get up and running on P+ with 1x data only.
This wil work for the Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular variant.
Yes I can get 3G but, the method is not allowed on this forum.
Please don't PM me asking how to get 3G as I will not reply.
Hit thanks if you watched this video please

Wow awesome Nevell. Thanks so much for this.
A few questions.
How different would it be to flash Straight Talk?
After flashing can I load ROMS like CyanogenMod and such without issue?

On the Sprint one yes but not on the VZW one. As far as flashing to ST you would need a donor phone. I won't go into details but that should be a start for you.

OP updated with new Verizon GS3 fully flashed with 3G youtube video demo.

I have been trying to flash verizon gs3 to sprint, and have talk and text but no data, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything. Thanks for your videos and help is appreciated

Why not just trade your VZW GS3 for a Sprint GS3 on your local Craigslist?

I do have the sprint one, but I wanted the GSM capabilities of the Verizon one cause I travel over seas.

I can do 3G on the VZW 1 but I'm not going to discuss the method of doing it.

That's all I need to know if is doable and if it's stable steady 3G.

If you want a Boost modem you can flash the tar in Odin, there was a leak on here.

Anyone that has an actual Boost phone will want to BOLO for FI22.
Source dropped which confirms it will be next OTA.

Yes, the hardware is identical, just re-branded. The fact us sprint users can flash the boost firmware ensures the possibly.

I'm not sure if the system will work like that. I think depending on the donor phone. The system creates a working 4G for your phone. For example, if you used a normal LG 3G based phone. The system does not register you as a working 4G phone. Just my 2 cents.

that is exactly correct. the donor must be 4g. sprint imei codes will not activate on boost or that is the story they are telling to sell phones

i actually flashed mine to boost and have so much truble... first of all my brother has sprint airave and that interferes with my phone. cant text make nor receive calls. it only works when i leave the house.. the bad thing is that i work under some apartment buildings and someone has an airave which is bad for me...
Does anyone knows if there is a fix to this..????

There should be no reason you to have issues at home because your brother has sprint. I have many friends that have boost that come over a lot without issues. Perhaps something on your settings are wrong when you flashed it.

[Q] No service at work. Any help?

Ive noticed since I moved offices, that in my office building I get absolutely no service whatsoever. And there is no wifi password available to use wifi via my phone. So today as I was leaving work and finally got service again, I had 12 missed calls, 5 texts, and 3 voicemails. Is there a better modem to flash that can help? Thanks!

Not exactly. Different locations have different best modems. You just have to try them and see.

Could anyone suggest an updated modem, or one they have had luck with if they are from the Chicago-land area?

You could check the map in the modem thread too. I know its a jumbled mess now, but the info can still be useful.

I may not be able to unfortunately. I messed around a little before and got nowhere. May have to start a new map.
Have you checked T-Mobiles coverage map yet? There just may not be a signal there in the first place.

I never had a problem with my Blaze there. Even at home with the S3 I get maybe 2 bars. Which leads me to believe its the modem. On my Blaze I had an updated modem that made data very fast.

Can I use UVLI6 which is a 4.1.1 modem on a 4.1.2 rom I am currently using? Would that be compatible? i cant remember which way compatibility goes :/

Any modem, any rom, any build. Only make sure you use the right models modems, which it sounds like you are

You can use any modem version as long as it's specifically for your phone.

This is just strange... in roughly a year of doing this I think you're the first to report that happening. 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 modems have always worked on 4.1.2, and any other combo has worked as well. There are people who still use the LH2 (ics) modem because it still performs better than any other for them.
I think you may have been seeing it function normally though. When idle, its supposed to drop to UMTS to save power and bandwidth. If you check while a transfer is occurring you will see it change to HSPAP.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Has anyone else found another modem that they now use that gives them better signal/data speeds for their Tmobile T999? My work building is a complete dead zone for Tmobile, so I am hoping flashing another modem works. Otherwise, im not sure what else I can do.

I have to refer you to my initial response here. A modem that gives better speed and signal for me, might be one of the worst for you.
Just something to consider, you probably could test 2-3 different ones each day at work. Maybe more. If your main issue is signal, then flash, check service, if none then flash another right away. I could probably flash 5 different ones on a 15 min break if I was only looking for improved signal. Might be a better way than waiting for someone to tell you what worked for them, then testing only that the next day. Its your phone and your time though, so its your call. Just tryin to help

[Q] Boost Native S3 - flash to Pageplus - help...

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.

Anyone???

Cannot lock on to a 4G signal on my SM-N900T

Hi
So I have a T-mobile unlocked SM-N900T that I'm currently using in London. I'm on Lycamobile and want to try their 4G network but for some reason my phone just will not connect to LTE. 3G works fine but that's as far as it will go.
I've been able to use 4G in India on the same phone so I know it does work, but for some reason it just wont connect here. I've tried the *#2263# service menu and selecting LTE -> ALL just gives me the no signal / network icon.
Have tried resetting, pulling out the battery and SIM but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone had these issues or any suggestions?
Oh - phone is Unrooted and running the latest KK update.
Any help or advice is graciously accepted. Cheers!

They just might be using a band for LTE that the phone doesn't have/support.

Thanks Andrew. I'll give that a go. They've called me a few times but keep reading from the same script. Was promised a call back on Sunday, but nothing and its Tuesday already!
They don't offer contracts as they are only PAYG but let me look up specs for O2, as they piggyback their network.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

Ok. ..so it would seem that the tmobile phones operate on different lte bands. So I've attempted to flash an international rom on this phone and as the Eagle eyed will note, this was done successfully. I should therefore have an international modem etc now? But I still can't connect to 4G! So does this mean that this is a device (actual hardware) issue or can this be sorted by flashing a modem that allows me to connect to all bands?
