Root [Boost Mobile] Tri-Band S3 (SPH-L710T)

[morro]

Nice! I think I'm reday to root my phone, rooting my phone will change my current system setup? I mean, I don't want to lose connectivity, things like that. I'm sph-l710t 4.4.2. Is philz a safe method to root? I'm aware of the chances of bricking my phone. I want to be able to install root apps like TB, root explorer, etc. I'm not flashing customs roms for now I'd like to stay in stock rom a little longer. I just want to be sure, I worked so hard to get this phone and i don't want to end up bricking it or messing things up, do you know what i mean? I want to thank everyone in advance and for the great work you guys are doing!

figured I'd share my setup. Flash as one would do so with a ROM based around TouchWiz. Did not try out any kernels.

CyanogenMod version: 11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte
Everything works except rotation (setting Rotation to 0 & 90 degrees is a workaround somewhat).
Spark LTE acquired after manually setting the APNs.

EDIT: btw just tested the kernel on a custom rom for the a non-triband model & it fixes the landscape rotation issues. no more flipped inversion.

Been busy with work... And sleep. Care to share what you mean? I've still yet to find a fix D: I used your kernel, got NFC and Phone FCs (BeanStalk ROM)

PHILZ_TOUCH_RECOVERY-6.48.4_d2lterefreshspr.zip
**official release d2lte

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045627

And this zip is 0 bytes lol

Edit: Installed Conquest Singularity. Worked perfectly except rotation. Installed the stock kernel, and it fixes rotation. Broke WiFi. Lol

Well i posted as a guest earlier about this guys. ii really need help. ive been at this over 10 hours straight! my phone is a week old samsung galaxy s3 sph-l710t. i rooted the phone on day 2 and was working fine till last night when the battery died and shut off. i plugged it in and powered up. thats when it all went crazy. first i had issue of touchwiz home stopping. finally after none of the fixes i could find fixed it i just installed (i forget the name now but started with a N) and that got me moving alittle. then every stock function, contacts dialer messaging keyboard ect all started to stop. after about 3 hours i decided to try and flash. worked fine no brick but i cant get a modem/radio to work now. so after trying a great many of them that did nothing i restored my screwed up back up. now back tio the origonal problem but add no modem/radio working now also. im completely at a loss as to where to go. i have philz on the phone so good there. im by no means a noob but also not extreamly expireienced either. it appears to me i need to start all over and do a clean flash. i havent been able to come by anything i understand (only ever worked with android never any others. id like to stay with something identical to 4.4.2 but am willing to go other routes if necessary. what i really need is expirience and a working product to install. apparently my self taught linux skills arent as good as i would like to think and am in over my head. please help

If you installed the NDC or ND8 modem it won't work with your phone. You have to install the correct modem (aka baseband) for your model.

I'd recommend reading this entire thread. http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/870166-tri-band-s3-sph-l710t.html. Your phone's model is newer and different than most of ours here so none of the older Roms work correctly.

Thank you very much! I stumbled across what appears to be a working rom. atleast it doesnt error everything out when i turn on the phione. i found a link for a modem to try in the thread you were speaking of. gonna give it a shot and see. looks like i have a bit of play time left and a bit of time before there may be something better comming along

edit: being im going with the same version of os do i need to do anything iwith the boot loader to do a clean flash?

I saw your other thread, where you were recommended here. Welcome!
I only know of custom ROMs, as I do not mess with stock at all. If you can makes call and/or get and send SMS, you have the proper radio. Data should work with an APN fix.
I can recommend Conquest: Singularity, as everything on it, to include wifi, bluetooth, and data, all work. The only thing inoperable in it is the rotation.
Good luck!

I Download it 3 times and it shows 0 MB, can someone help me out with this?

The last two files he has uploaded have been 0 Bytes. I'm not sure what's going on. It's not your end. If you just follow the link, the info on the right says it's 0 bytes.

well a great any thanks to quite a few people here. my phone is operational minus the wifi so far. it only took 19 hours straight and a few close calls of wanting to fly across the room but i feel likE I learned quite alot having gone through it nut from now on im not going to expirement on my primarary bussiness line. ill wait till i have one i dont need all the time. on that note if anyone has any ideas as to why the wifi wont turn on i would most certaily appreciate that as i live in an area where even getting 1g is impressive so wifi is my main source of network for the phone. THANK YOU AGAIN!

 

[wykydtron]

try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602562
its the modem.img
just the .img
should be useable through philz
its the same one used initially when i helped FoxTrot

 

[pup huskie]

no tethering app needed!!!!! just edit your apn .....the simple words than ur done.......

you need to know your msl

open dialer and enter ##DATA# select edit

then scroll down and select more

scroll to the bottom and select LTE APN settings

scroll to the bottom and select

then scroll till you see APN TYPE

select it a edit box will pop up

then add ,Dun
select ok your network bar will reset and
then your good to go.....start using your wifi hotspot
free of charge and with out adding bloatware
also your hotspot will operate with 3g or 4g

this is not my finding.... i read about it over in xda so credit goes to someone over there.... just thought i would share how to do it

if it helped you hop on over there and give thanks where needed

I've done this with limited success.
the thing about a tri band phone is that is use 3 of four cellular signals available at the moment. This works yes but ive even switched back to stock because of dropped connections & roaming indications.

i also have not been able to access the dialer codes on any other rom but stock. got everything and more as in data to enter to the apn settings but it fails.

there is a universal boost apn flashable fix ive tried to no avail. it managed to eradicate all apn settings.

settings for boost triband needs band10+band26+band41 btw

I installed Conquest: Singularity, and the Boost APN fix, and then booted. The hotspot works out of box, full LTE everywhere... No data issues.

Edit:

Disregard. Didn't realize the topic was for the stock ROM.

 

[The_Dumbest_noob]

took longer to read the instructions than it did to actually make the change....and i only had to add the one word.....(,Dun) to the (APN TYPE) on my phone and a few others and it immediatly worked..... be sure to turn your connection optimizer off
and if you cant get to your apn settings because of the dialer not working correctly you can get to it using aSHELL and aSQLITE MANAGER

sorry if it didnt help you but i thought id share it for those that want to stay unrooted and dont want to pay a subscription fee ($20mo) or download apps to teather...

i guess it works for some and not for others but i can confirmed it worked for 5 samsung galaxy s3 (l710T-boostmobile) phones running 4.4.2 stock

He'll, I'm throttled at them speeds all the time. Can walk to sites faster lol....

Lol, know the feeling. Have you tried the 3G/4G glitch?
If I drive down the road, my service drops to 3G, still throttled, and when I come back home to 4G, I'm not throttled.

 

[folkvar]

I am trying to un root the S3 L710T and return to stock recovery.
any help is welcome Thank you.

 

[shadowbmXD]

I flashed a sprint rom in philz and it made my phone sketchy. Need a back to stock zip to flash in odin and this is the only forum about this phone so hopefully you guys can help me. Will greatly appreciate it ��

 

[DWILSON48625]

Throttle trick won't work here.

And first rule of rooting and recoveries--- backup backup backup.

That said, if a stock Rom isnt found, read this thread and use Conquest.

Its an excellent rom.

 

[DWILSON48625]

Btw, Philz recovery is the best out there for our phones.

If your new to flashing, read up on proper methods.

Wiping things or formatting things that don't need it can dork your phone up.

What's your definition of "sketchy"?

No, just upped to the 10gig plan.
