ok decided to buy a phone from someone from CL, had sprint store check it and they said it had a clean ESN. so i figured everthing was fine. when they go to try and put it onto my account, they cannot get it to work with their network(no calls, messages, or data). they are telling me it is flashed. It doesnt make any sense that someone would flash a phone with a clean ESN. I am new to this, coming from an iPhone, so any help would be a win for the android side of the war haha. I have been trying to research how to fix this and i am across the following website and instructions
How to Unroot Sprint Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 to Factory! | GalaxyS3Root.com
...my thought is to try and put the stock rom back on this phone. would that reset the phone back to sprint settings? I have been trying to check the "about phone" settings and cannot find any network settings anywhere that i can try to cross reference and research using Google search. the instructions on this website and video seem pretty easy and looks like it would be tough for even a newbie like me to do. Please share your thoughts on what could be the problem, what i should be looking for to help solve the problem, if you feel that putting the stock rom back onto the phone per this link's instruction would work, or anythign else that you feel could be of use.
thanks in advance for any help....
