lost 4g

hey guys i lost 4g after switching a rom. i switched back to the old rom stil didnt work any body have a pic or am i screwed

What does your imei say?
And there is a q&a forum for these types of threads

If it shows H+ then that is 4g. Just different icon.

Sounds like you lost your imei.
Hopefully you did your research before modifying your $600 phone and you made a backup of your imei since this is a common problem and a way to prevent it/back it up has been developed. Otherwise., good luck. You can try to insert your imei again ( not a simple process) but it well never act the same again if its been lost.
Best bet is new phone
Check in you're settings menu and see what it says your imei is in about phone. If it says 0 instead of the imei then you lost imei

That sounds great.

Follow ALL THREE steps to get your 4G back. It's easier if you go back to a TouchWiz ROM for the *codes.

thank you

[Help]Wanting to flash to different carrier

So I'm on bs sprint and still have a little over a year for my contract to be up so if all's well I will be flashing me and my gfs phones to another carrier and buying out of our cantract since we're basically paying 200 dollars for the same service. I'm wondering if anybody is willing to help me out with the flashing process (this will be my 1st time) by directing me to the best carrier to flash to how toos and so fourth. I'm currently rooted and my gf isn't but I can have that done in minutes when it's time. I'm hoping to go to virgin boost or cricket if anyone knows anything about flashing to any of these carriers. Can online help? Please and thanks

Actually edfunkycold has been extremely helpful. No I'm not trying to be confrontational. My apologizes in advance if that's the way it sounds. The threads that edfunkycold pointed you to have the information necessary to complete what you want to do. There is going to be quite a bit of reading, and research involved. Especially as this is your first time. The best advice I can give you is read, read, and read some more. If you have any questions search the thread that pertains to what you are trying to accomplish. If you still cannot find the answer post up in that thread. Someone is usually around to help, in almost every thread. BTW, yes I do know how hard it is to search for answers to questions sometimes . Even though I've been around for a while, I still use the search function quite a bit. Sometimes more than I'd like to admit.

I honestly agree with u 100% edfunkycold cnexus and whiplash are always 1st on the scene when I need help. I just always see people saying to search. I always search b4 I post a thread and I only post a thread to get as much help as possible. There is no real filters on here and u could be stuck on the same thread for days b4 finding what u need. I also feel like posting new threads helps other noobs find things easier than finding something that was posted a year ago. I honestly meant no disrespect to anybody on these forums especially the people that's always helping and if any was taken i apologize

No offense taken at all. But read what you wrote. You feel that by starting a new thread it helps new noobs find it. You don't think that adds to the already hundreds of threads which exist, many of them repeated questions on the same topic? Now that is going g to make it even more difficult for a new person to find the thread with the correct information.
Keep in mind the longer threads with more activity are usually the ones with all the right answers. Some reading and searching will be necessary. Within the thread itself you can search that specific thread to get the information you need and the results come back in order from newest post to oldest post.
I search every day, I search mostly for people that are looking for answers. Keep in mind I do it all from my phone mobile so I only use the app.

Yes I understand that but thanks to people like u and the others I mentioned links are posted to those threads right on the pages we often look for. Even tho there are repeat questions not everyone has the same desire there fore when the links a provided we get helped as much as we can by this. This isn't a dispute or argument in anyway but a "noobs stand point of thinking" if that's what u wanna call it. Maybe this explains it or maybe it doesn't but it shows we have a high regard for this Site instead of going to another forum or Google searching our issues (which most leads back to here). This is a good Site and everyone is loved here especially by us noobs. I'm not sure if u seen it but a while ago I wrote a thank you post cause what u guys do here is awesome and if it wasn't for u guys my phone would be plain old vanilla my mind bored and a bunch of noobs lost hopelessly. Maybe if we can get some filters on here maybe for dates or key words or different updates there wouldn't be soo many repeat threads. U said yourself u search using your phone (as do I 99% of the time) how long does it take u to usually find a thread you've never seen on a topic u barely have any info about?

If you go Boost or Virgin you will need a donor phone,If you go Cricket you will not as they allow flashed phones on their system.Crickets service is OK but with a flashed phone you will always be 3G no 4G. The S3 is a fairly easy phone to flash you can do it with QPST. Or since you are in louisville the corporate stores can flash it for you pretty cheap.

Yes it's about 50 to 100 dollars tho I think. But I'd rather learn it myself and hustle their customers instead of them hustling me lol. I'd be fine with 3g that's all I get with sprint anyway. Can u explain the qpst thing? I've seen it b4 but don't quite understand it

Use this guide only instead of using DFS use QPST http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...galaxy-s3-cricket-talk-text-mms-internet.html you could use DFS as well I just prefer QPST and a note if you use QPST write two profiles enable both of them and just make one active seems to work better that way.

To Root Or Not To Root

So my question to you all is it worth it too root your device... Should you take the risk... or should you take the safe way and stay stock....

No one can answer this but you. If you are unsure then I would advise you not to do it. Educate yourself on the pros and cons and determine if it will hold any value for you.

The way you phrased your post sounded like you were asking of you should root or not. And I think this is kind of a silly question to ask on a dev forum when the answer is so obvious. I believe that rooting is the only way to bring out the full potential. Even better is the development of custom roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

It's a must for me.

Well as personal experience I would say ROOOT!!, but only if you feel confident enough arround the system that you wont screw it up

Don't root. You will get pregnant and die

As mentioned, do some research and decide what you need to do with your phone. Do you want features not available with stock? An Engineer at Qualcomm just stated at XDAevCon 2013 yesterday that a custom ROM can be one of the best ways to increase battery life, however ERD Jcase stated that it opens security risks so he chooses not to root. The choice is yours. But read, read, read before you decide.

I will never own an Android phone that is stock. Once I took the plunge back with my Inspire 4G, I couldn't run stock. It would drive me crazy. Too many features and Roms to try.

Talking about risk, theres no risk if u follow and read the steps very carefully, although there are largely benefits of rooting, on battery, resources, space, and ofcourse using some rooted apps like root call blocker, titanium backup, greenify, and many more.....

Your question was already answered here on your very on posting. If that is not enough information for you please type that question on Google or yahoo and pick and choose from the results. There are so many articles, blogs, and forums on this that you should not need to ask what the benefits are.

You have to understand that they are trying to clean up these forums from the many and many useless questions and posts that have been asked and answered many times for years; What are the benefits of rooting being one of them, which actually takes longer to type in using a simple google search, than to find the answer.
They feel here that these types of posts only crowd the forums, and only get in the way of people's searches for more useful information.

if i install this on my galaxy s3...

hi, i am from israel and a friend of mine has an sgh-i747 and he has cm10.1 on his s3. he wants a touchwiz based rom on his device but im afraid it wont work in israel. i downloaded this: I747MVLDMF1_I747MOYBDMF1 from sammobile and it said it s unknown where its from
what if i install it on his device?

Best thing to do is go to xda developers forum and search for a rom. What carrier is the phone for?

I really wouldn't ask people RR randomly "what to do". I would ask a more specific question in the appropriate forum and wait for a reply. Even your message above isn't clear enough. You essentially want me to do the work figuring this out for you... Sry things on xda are obvious and easy if you can read and are smart. If not ... Don't do it. Have a nice day and good luck.

It sounds like what you downloaded is not going to be a rom you can flash through recovery. Only odin or what ever its called which most likely would return the phone back to how it was when the factory shipped it out.
I wouldnt flash anything that you dont know where it came from. Best thing to do is google the model number and find out if its an international version or a USA version and if there is a difference in the two. Then search the appropriate forums for a rom that he may like. Good luck and as always if you arent sure dont do it.

Yes.. That specific item is against the rules here. You will find any threads related to changing of IMEI closed pretty quick.

Changing the IMEI is illegal in most countries, therefore the discussion thereof, is prohibited on XDA.
