I have the Boost Mobile version. SPH-D710BST on FG31.

Will the Samsung Drivers and Odin I have been using for my Boost Prevail work on this phone? or do I have to try to find new ones somewhere?

also the first two links are to other threads, not files. Which files am I supposed to choose?

 

I've never done this before so please bear with me...

-What is step #8 referring to? Profit?

-After everything has successfully completed, will the phone automatically connect and be able to make phone calls and also data? Or are there some other settings that must be entered? If so, do you know those settings?

THANKS!

 

I get stuck on #3
If your talking about the file named "SPH-D710_FI03_CL1083465_Rooted_Restore_OC" that was extracted from the file named "SPH-D710_FI03_CL1083465_Rooted_Restore_OC" that was found at your first link, then it's broken. Nothing happens when you click on it. I noticed it didnt have an extension. It also wont go in the PIT, Bootloader, PDA, Phone or CSC boxes in Odin.
I tired putting a .exe at the end but that didnt help either?

 

ok I figured out my prob with number 3. I had to add an .exe at the end of the extracted file and run as admin.

now Im stuck on number 5. I extracted efgtauto but when you open the folder there is only one .exe. file. I ran it as admin and a black box opened, it scrolled through several pages of white text really fast then automatically closed. there was no chance to choose D then E.

So then I downloaded the other file, e4gtauto-lite-sfx.exe. (I chose the Full verssion, but theh file name still says lite for some reason). I chose D then E but then the USB Drivers broke. Maybe from flashing the Odin file? I reinstalled the drivers to no avail. I keep getting an error message that states "Hardware Id Missing" "Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device"



please help.

edit.
it works. Im up and running.
just had to delete the old drivers and fiddle with device manager, then reinstall them.

 

Lol. Profit is just something that people say when you're done and you get to enjoy what has been done basically. It should all work once it is all flashed.

 

Where can I get cm10 for the boost mobile version...?


Another question is...is it possible to flash ROMs from the sprint version on the boost one???
Thanks
