Depends on how it was flashed...if it was directly through straight talks website which only costs 15 dollars and they do it over the air its still using sprint towers not verizon...if that's how it was done then you can update....if it wasn't your stuck on that version

I had a friend flash it over to straight talk, then I put the ROM on it. It was just a while ago so I have no clue how I did it or what I used....

I use a flashed phone but on Verizon.
I flash different roms and never have any problems. If it was flashed correctly then the phone settings should stick. 3g text calls that is.

How to flash to another Carrier (Cricket,Metropcs,Etc)

i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data
Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.
Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

Whoa, what happened to your original post?
So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

It is flashable to metropcs? I read somewhere that the sprint one is a qualcom based phone. How do you know forsure? They said it has the qualcom sticker in it when you buy it
It can be flash to metropcs

If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?
As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

Any way to repost the tutorial for us who want to just change the PRL?

How would you get the ESN into MetroPCS's inventory if there's NO MORE Houdini and being that it's a ESN beginning with 99XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
PM if needed! Thanks!
Sph-L700 sprint galaxy nexus
No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.
What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.
You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...

I wouldn't, I've heard mixing the Canadian and T-mobile ROMs is a one-way ticket to brick. Stick to ROMs designed specifically for the SGH-T999 (T-Mobile version).
We could port it. Why do you want that rom?

Don't mention it. I was so stupid and didn't look around before purchasing this phone.
I am a Canadian Mobilicity user, I usually buy T-Mobile phone, but this time i didn't realize Mobilicity carry GS3. With T-Mobile custom Rom there alot of junk apps. Such as T-Mobile Hot-Spot, Access T-Mobile else. Since I saw SGH-T999 and SGH-T999v are the same spec just wonder if I can load Mobilicity Rom to my T-Mobile GS3 phone. So that i can use their custom apps
You can jut copy their apps to /system/app/ and they should work.

T-Mobile S3 on ATT

Hi all,
Been modding my s3 on t mobile for a while. Moved to washington, and t mobile has no service in about 10 miles of where I am. Att has full 4g here, so I unlocked it and got the sim for their go phone plan. Had to put in the proper apn, but have data working fine now. Unfortunately, some t mobile processes keep telling me that my sim is "invalid". It's annoying. Can I flash a custom att rom, and if so, can I use the modem flash as well, or do I need to avoid flashing the att modems?
I'm running the d2tmo frosty jellybean V11.6 currently.
Thanks

helps sgh-t999l

hello. I have a galaxy 3 sgh-t999l tmobile and I have the official 4.3 rom. I am looking to lower it to 4.1.1 to unlock it using debug screen but can not get this rom 4.1.1. that I see are the sgh-T999. if anyone has an idea on this rom or another way to release will thank. thanks
Not possible. T999L was released with 4.1.2, 4.1.1 doesn't exist.
If you flash 4.1.1 for another variant, you will brick.
If you are on a regular plan, pay the bill for 2 months and then T-Mobile customer service will unlock it for you. Otherwise buy an unlock code online.

Transferred to straight talk

I upgraded to the s5. and gave my s3 to a friend. And moved it to straight talk.
Will i still be able to install the sprint KK OTA.
Yes. The network may have changed, but ROMs compatibility is only affected by the hardware.
