Need help with ROM(s) - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello XDA, so, i have went through just about 10 ROMs. 2 of them worked but didn't give me signal(MOAR and Wicked Sensation) i have tried to change the baseband but everytime i did it, it just changed back to unknown.(really great roms btw. was playing around with them a lot when i had just wi-fi). Some other ones i have tried were;
Wicked X
Cyanogen
Resurrection Remix
Slimkat
and a few more.
Only one that works and is fully functional is the Stock ND8 ROM. Tried flashing to 4.3 or 4.1 always failed. I have checked the md5 if i had clean downloads for all of them and USB is fully functional and tried on 2 computers and different USB cables. Thanks for the help if there is any.

Okay, just to make sure you don't try changing the baseband again, that's very dangerous once you've been on ND8.
You absolutely cannot downgrade the modem or bootloader once you've Odined the stock ND8 tar.
People have hard bricked their phones trying that.
You need to Odin the stock ND8 tar again to get your modem back.
What recovery have you been using? Philz Recovery is the only recovery that's been confirmed working 100% once you've been on ND8.

[Q] Issues with Airvana and AOSP ROMS

Here lately when I get home, cannot force phone to connect to Airvana at all, unless I flash back to TW based rom, then update prl, then flash back to open sourced ROM. Anyone else have this issue? I am on nd8 modem, only thing I haven't tried is flashing previous modem.

problem seems fixed with mk3 radio flash from ND8.

For anyone else who comes across this thread, do NOT downgrade your modem from ND8 if you are on the ND8 bootloader. The OP must have flashed just the ND8 Modem only for the short time it was available, so this was possible for him but won't be an option for most.
Thank you. That is all.

[Q]Need clarification for rooted rogers note 2, android 4.4

Hello, I recently just updated my Rogers SGH-i317M to 4.3, which then downloaded a system update which put it at 4.4. I was running Jedi X20, which is based on 4.1.2, when I first tried updating, I flashed the "4.3param_tz" file in odin, and was left with an error screen saying I need to recover using Kies, so I downloaded the official release, flashed via odin, and thats how I got to where I am now. I want to try the "Ditto Note 3" rom, "Sky Note Air 4.3", "Mean Bean" and "Beanstalk". My main question is, can I just start flashing these roms like I was before on 4.1.2, or do I need to use the specific kernel listed on their page? Before you needed a specific kernel to run a touchwiz rom or an aosp rom, so is it still the same? Or can I use my stock 4.4 kernel and try both aosp and tw roms now? If so could you point out the kernels I would need? And educate me on anything else I should know about before flashing 4.3 and 4.4 roms, (I'm not worried about warranty), this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in reading this and helping me out, much appreciated!!
Regardless of where u are, I'd Odin to Rogers stock KK 4.4.2. Then Odin Twrp recovery, boot into twrp recovery and flash SU v.1.99. Finally choose your rom and flash away. This way you are on the lastest KK 4.4.2 Bootloader and KK Modem/Baseband.

I did all that except flash SU 1.99, so I tried flashing SKynote Air and it didnt work, upon restarting my phone it said no os is available. So I tried restoring from the backup I made of the official 4.4.2 Samsung rom in twrp, didn't work. Tried Odin, didn't work. Then I tried flashing the Skynote rom again and it worked. So I'm afraid of flashing any other roms now.

[Q] Returning to stock question

I need to return my phone to stock and it's running 4.4.2, I'm just wondering if I can flash a stock 4.3 rom onto it (L710VPUCMK3)
You can flash any ROM, but you can never Odin anything less than ND8 or you'll hard brick your phone because of Knox in ND8's bootloader.
This is assuming that by 4.4.2 you mean TouchWiz 4.4.2 (ND8), not AOSP/CM. If the latter, it depends on what the last stock ROM you either Odin'd or OTA'd.

Yup I'm on Touchwiz 4.4.2 ND8 basically what I'm trying to do is completely restore phone to stock, flash Moar, MK3 modem, and Phiilz touch recovery and root it. Any help or what order to flash those in?

I going to assume that you want to take phone back to stock AND THEN flash custom recovery and root?
If that's the case:
Flash the nd8 tar ball through ODIN. It will be a fresh install so you'll lose everything (I prefer it that way though)
Verify the phone is working with stock.
Flash the custom recovery ODIN (I recommend latest version of Philz, imho).
Download the zip of supersu (not the app) and the flash that through recovery. Rode warrior can tell you how to use reboot in Philz (didn't seem to work for me though and I'm just used to flashing skin recovery, so that's the way I do it.
Edit: forgot about MOAR. I would then flash moar from custom recovery after doing all the above...

You can't flash the MK3 modem once on ND8. Brick city may happen.
Seen that you wanted to do that.

You're exactly correct.
Now that you're on ND8, you can never downgrade the modem or bootloader.

galaxy s3 L710 freezes when I move app icons around or try to move to delete

galaxy s3 L710 freezes when I move app icons around or try to move to delete
Hey everyone,
So I got a Galaxy s3 L710
I was on stock 4.4.4.2 rom and I had problems with freezing when I tried to move app icons to the main screen or delete them. I figured if I used a custom rom it wiould fix the problem.
So I had the latest liquid smooth 3.2 rom put on with the latest google apps. I think it is liquid smooth 3.2 build date 10-9-2014 with the 4.4.4.4 google apps
I am still having the same problem moving icons around or trying to delete them?
Does anyone know what the problem is? I have to hit the power button to unfreeze the phone every time I try to move app icons around!
Not sure what "4.4.4.2" is, but i would go back to complete stock before trying to fix the provlem with a custom rom.
I would flash the nd8 stock tar through Odin and see if that works. Verify ur download's md5 before flashing...

do you have a link for the nd8 stock tar
the 4.4.4.2 or maybe it was 4.4.2.2 was the android kitkat version on the phone info page
When I got my htc evo 3d the stock rom wouldn't connect to my bluetooth right but after I put a custom rom negraliteblurom on and then it worked perfect. That's why I just tried a custom rom on the L710 g3.

there is no 4.4.4.2 or 4.4.2.2 but there is 4.2, 4.3, 4.4.2, 4.4.4 and now 5.0 ..... you need to flash the ND8 stock tar with Odin but make sure it's a good download and most of the time that will fix any issue you have and if that doesn't work flash a custom TouchWiz rom or AOSP rom in the custom recovery of your choice and see if those fix it ....

Cannot flash stock rom

Hello I would appreciate any help with my device. The problem I am having is I can flash no touchwiz roms such as slimbean and CM11 but cannot flash stock non touchwiz roms. I would like to get wifi calling running but my phone just wont flash those roms. I am using the latest TWRP and my original rom was a 4.2.2 rom but it did not have the wifi calling option. I first encountered my problem when I got the phone and tried to root it and install a custom 4.4.2 rom. The flash failed and from there I was stuck on the Samsung logo. I tried to odin back to stock with the nb4, mk2 and mdl images but odin wil not let me flash it I get nand Write start FAIL error. Tried different odin's, cables, ports and still no go. I know I must be missing something but I have searched and searched and every post says it should be working. Please help.
current baseband M919UVUAMB2
current rom slimbean 4.4.4
What is the fail message when flashing the rom in recovery?
Are you sure you have a M919, and not a M919V phone?

Your device is not really a m919....and honestly only mb2 firmware I've ever heard of was actually for the s3 not the s4...there's a bunch of these weird ass devices going around. Both m919 and i9505's. Let me guess you bought it on the Internet?
Thank You all as you suspected the phone was a fake luckily the seller is taking it back.
