Is there any easy guide that'll help me flash this phone to metro pcs? I've been looking around all over the Internet but everything seems too complicated. Granted, I'm very new to this world of flashing. But is there any easy or not so complicated way of doing this? That won't brick my phone but will include mms? Any help will do.

I'm hoping to help out a friend who just got the metro pcs Galaxy s3. I'm assuming there is a way to root it, but he is somewhat of a noob so I'm hoping to find the easiest way to do it. I can help him out if neccessary as I'm less of a noob. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello, im failry new to flashing phones to other carriers. The only thing i have is the slightest idea of rooting and that is with my old ZTE warp. I was looking into buying a Samsung Galaxy S3. I was wondering if i bought the "SPRINT SAMSUNG GALAXY S III 3 SPH-L710" could i flash it so i can use straight talk or boost mobile on it? If anyone could link me to a source, it'll be much appreciated.
I think it can be flashed to boost. I'll see if I can find the link.

Try this thread, might find the answer here.

Thanks, I couldn't find it.
Despite a week long determination to seek out the answer on Google, I could not find a definitive guide or step by step process for flashing my US Cellular S3 phone to Straight Talk. I believe I titled this thread clearly enough so that when people arrive here they know exactly what to expect.
The only thing I have accomplished is that I have bought a T-Mobile Compatible Micro SIM Card.
Beyond that, I have no idea what to do next. I've read about flashing, and rooting, and custom ROMs and hidden menus, but I don't know where to start.
I have also read it can be done and it can't be done. However, through much research I am fairly sure this can be done. Will someone who knows how to do this keeping the 3G speed capability intact and all the features one would expect from their Galaxy S3 phone to have, please lay it out step by step for a scooby doobie noobie?
Much appreciated!
Use a ROM designed for your phone and pop the T-Mobile SIM in. You may have to add and APN, but that's probably as good as it gets.

Thanks for your reply!
I guess I don't know what to do first, Unlock, Flash, or Root my phone.
I honestly don't know if this will possibly work. CDMA and GSM are not exactly compatible. They are completely different cellular network technologies. Does yours even have a SIM card slot?
Try what aerowinder said, but dont expect much. And just fyi, for that model you should be in the Sprint forums I'm pretty sure. (Might be Verizon if I'm wrong, but I'm confident you need Sprints area)
You won't be able to flash anything in this forum without porting it first. Much easier to just use the correct forum.
Odin flash your recovery, then pick and flash your Rom. IF there's a free unlock method on yours, you'll probably need a stock based Rom to use it.
Good luck!

I finally upgraded my phone after 4 years with the old htc one s.
So I am very used to flashing that phone and ones similar.
I got this at&t version of the LG G4 for use with T-Mobile (US).
It came unlocked and all I had to do was put my sim card in and talk and text worked. Then set up a new apn profile for T-Mobile and everything else seems to be working fine.
I am about to embark on the whole rooting and flashing a new rom on it.
Was just wondering if there was any advice to consider before diving in.
I have done a decent amount of rooting and from what I can see, this phone doesn't really look to hard for the most part.
I noticed that there are different sections on he development forum for the different carriers.
But I am going from one carrier to another and would rather have a T-Mobile rom as a base. ( it think I am going to use a mostly stock rom. Just to see what LG has to offer.)
Is there any problem with flashing a T-Mobile rom on the att phone? also a T-Mobile radio?
Forgive my noobness, its been a while. "This almost never happens"
Also any advice for the easiest rooting technique. maybe a good video to watch.
I will do the research. But a nudge in the right direction could save a lot of time.
Thanks.
It has been a while since I've spent time on XDA. I haven't flashed a phone since the HTC One M7. I had to switch carriers from T-mobile to AT&T not long after I had purchased the S20+ for T-mobile. Most of the features work on AT&T, but I'm lacking the VoLTE, Wifi Calling, and Visual Voicemail that I would really like to get working. Can someone recommend an up to date guide that can safely guide me through the process, I'm sure its not that complicated, but I have been away from the scene for a while and I really don't want to end up with a bricked device or accidentally pop an e-fuse (if thats still a thing).
I appreciate any help, advice, or direction that anyone can provide.
