I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that i'm using on Virgin Mobile. Because of this, I would like to flash the Virgin Mobile KitKat update through odin. Would that cause any problems? I know they're the same phone internally but I don't want to brick it.

Also, MMS have never worked on it, and none of the MMS fixes for Sprint S3's flashed to VM have worked, so I was hoping that flashing the VM update instead of the Sprint one would change something that would make it work.

Thanks

EDIT: I guess what i'm trying to ask is, If you flash a Virgin Mobile KitKat update through odin, would later flashing the Sprint KitKat update through odin brick the phone? Would it brick because it would have to flash another bootloader?
