So the app " Navigation " doesn't need data connection?
It does because Google Maps needs iternet, GPS though could work by itself if you had all maps downloaded.

When I go to step 7 in the instructions I'm getting an error.
It says "Online connection failure: Unspecified Error"
When the phone is in USB tether mode, I can tether my PC from it, although its pretty slow.
Any thoughts?
1) Connect your phone to your PC
2) Put your phone in usb tethering
Change that step to:
2) Open Settings>Developer Options>USB debugging enabled (must be unplugged while changing the setting if stock).
Your phone may be detected on a different COM PORT after that. Mine changed from COM 5 with tether to COM 6 with this enabled.
I don't get a port that says 'Diagnostics"
will 9033 mess up 4g connection?
did it make your 4g faster?
Witch prl would be best for the Texas area

2032 is only automatically pushed to S3 owners everyone else gets 3032 pushed but 2032 has overall better 4G speeds than 3032 for me.Where in Texas? If you are in the DFW area, just use the 2032 that automatically gets pushed to the phone. Outside of that area probably the 9033.

Flawless guide. One thing I noticed, when I went to Service Programming, it did not list my phone number correctly, not sure if that is normal or strange, because the PRL installation still worked, PRL reads 9033 now. Was kind of hoping to grab some sprint service at my house, where I currently get HORRIBLE service from Metro (unless I leave my phone on the right front corner of my bureau, for some reason, I grab 4G there (?????)), but I did not see a dramatic improvement in my service throughout my house. I am able to get 1X coverage everywhere in my house for the most part, where before I just had a red X, so I guess that is definitely an improvement, just not as much as I had hoped for.
A+ tutorial though, very easy to follow, I am going to make a video about this, tomorrow night, and I will send you the link and you can add it to the OP, if you'd like (I have a YouTube channel full of tech tutorials, Android, PC, PSP, etc.). Thanks for taking the time to write this up, been searching for something like this for a looooooooong time. +1
No problem whatsoever, I try to make videos whenever I find a solution after searching for an extremely extended period of time. This is one of those occasions.
I could but my phone is in perfect customized condition, unbrick would delete all my apps and hard work... someone sends me a phone, I'll make the video with a smile on my face. Like I said once before, if my phone ever requires an unbrick, I will gladly film it.
