I have the Boost Mobile version of the Galaxy J3 Emerge (model SM-J327P). I've owned it for years and haven't used it for awhile. I want to reactivate it with another phone company and start using it again (it'll work Ive already checked) and I'd like to get all the boost mobile stuff off it and just run the regular Samsung version. I don't know if its programmed into the sim card or something but it doesn't matter what version of firmware I use I just end up with the Boost Mobile version with the boot animation anyways.
yea so I tried flashing to both the SPR and XAS version and it seems that I cant get rid of the Boost Mobile stuff. am I flashing it wrong? I did have the OEM unlock on and wondering if I need to erase anything for complete reinstall to remove all the Boost stuff?
so I just decided to basically put it back how I had it originally. I rooted it and uninstalled all the Boost stuff and bloatware and I'm just going to change the boot image in it so all the boost stuff is basically gone. If anyone has a solution feel free to post it but i'm already tired of messing with it and not going to do anything else with it.

I'm currently new to the xda forums, so I applogize in advance if i am posting in the wrong thread. But I currently recieved a samsung sph-d710 that was on sprint from a freind. I currently have a samsung galaxy reverb from virgin mobile that currently has service, and I've been reading around different forums and faqs about flashing phones to other carriers and was wondering if there was any way i could get this phone to work with my virgin mobile account. I know that virgin mobile has had this phone on there service before(my mom has one). And also is it possible for me to somehow rip off the stock virgin mobile android os from her phone? I've browsed around and couldnt find any downloads for the stock virgin mobile os for the phone, so i think this may be the only way for me to get the os. Also how would i go about copying her os system? Do i need to root her phone and create a clockwork mod recovery of her phone, then somehow extract that file to my computer, then use some program to fully flash it over? I'm all very new to the flashing carriers, although i do have basic knowledge of rooting and running custom roms. Does flashing a sprint phone to virgin have to be done with a special program on the computer(i have cdma workshop, but have no clue how to use it). And also even if i was able to flash the phone to virgin mobile, wont the esn still be registered as a sprint phone? Or is the esn device type specific? Also what is prl? Do they need to be updated? I guess in general i'm asking alot of question, but what are the steps to flashing the phone over, what all needs to be changed? If anyone can help answer one or all of these questions i would be forever greatful. Also pointing me to some tutorials would be greatly appreciated :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys I'm sort of a newb not sure if this is in the right place but what the hell. I was wondering if anyone has found a fast stable root for the boost mobile version of the samsung galaxy s7? I tried the most popular version and i lost my ability to make calls and get data. I was wondering has anyone found a working version that doesnt delete your data or makes you lose the ability to make calls or get data?

I'm going to assume you didn't flash the patches to resolve all the current root issues.
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
You could also try the Echoe Rom once you're rooted which is very stable from my testing.
Hi... I'm wondering the same thing. I have been researching this whole "rooting the s7" process and doing countless Google searches sometimes til 3-4 am and I can't find any new or reveled info to my issue. If I'm in the wrong section please point me to the right one. This is the only thread that comes close to my situation. I have successfully rooted my s7 but have no data/mms. I have followed a few guides with no luck getting root and data to work. I'm using a sprint s7 sm-g 930 that is flashed to work with boost mobile. My problem I believe is with the apn settings. If I'm on stock, I can't view my an settings as the are grayed out. When I root, I can view the apn settings but when I modify them and save they don't show up on the list of apns. All the info ive found only talks about the sprint or credo apn settings but nothing for boost mobile settings. Please let me know if you need any other info from me to successfully root this phone and have data working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I want to start with saying sorry I'm not very savvy in this stuff so forgive me ahead of time. My little sister was goofing off with me phone trying to mess stuff up and somehow managed to do a full wipe including removing all firmware from my phone. My phone carrier sent me to samsung who told me they have no records of my model number ever even existing so they aren't able to re-flash my phone. I eventually found a rom online and flashed it but this one won't connect to data for internet. The model number is SM-J700M and it's a Samsung Galaxy J7. Please help! I don't care what fancy features the Rom comes with or if it's rooted or not I just want my phone to work again
Upgraded to Note 9, want to pass my Note 8 on to a T-Mobile user. I want a complete T-Mobile experience, so all T-Mobile bloat and settings are needed (VoLTE, Hotspot, etc...) . Note 8 currently has latest CRID OTA from ATT. Looking for help in determining the correct way to proceed. I am having AT&T carrier unlock the device, so I would make this change after confirmed unlock. Also, once this is finished, will the device receive T-Mobile OTA updates?
I have read through https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884 but am confused. I see lots of mention of combination files, CSC changing, etc... that seem overkill for what i'm looking for.
Are these the steps I need to take?
1) Download latest Odin compatible TMB Firmware (which is what version?)
2) Download Odin on PC
3) Factory reset Note 8
4) Flash TMB firmware
5) Insert TMB SIM card
6) Success?
Yes just download this file

Flash everything with Odin and you will have a full 100% T-Mobile Note8 with all carrier features working

I saw here that simply flashing a different carrier firmware will not actually change carriers?? Is that correct?

Someone in that thread said I would need to flash an unlocked U1 firmware and then the TMB firmware?
I am about to do this as well, switching from AT&T to T Mobile using my AT&T branded Note 8. I just wanted to confirm that it's as simple as downloading the latest Android Pie firmware for T Mobile and flash it to the AT&T branded phone? Any precaution like some other thread mentioned to flash the U1 (unlocked) firmware first then flash the T Mobile firmware?
Also, eventually, I will be giving this Note 8 to someone in China. At that point, is it better to flash the unlocked version of firmware or just leave the T Mobile firmware on it?
Thanks so much for your help.
Note: the phone is already unlocked.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I went and got T Mobile. After the new SIM card was inserted in my AT&T Note 8, after a reboot, it did something, a screen with a SIM car graphics and some moving dot. Then it rebooted itself again, and then T Mobile splash screen showed up. It even added the bloatware from T Mobile. So, Android 9 for Note 8 probably has both ROMs? I also checked the firmware version. It shows the latest T Mobile ROM.
I didn't have to do anything other than just inserting the new SIM card from T Mobile.
This is very interesting to me, and the store guy couldn't believe his eyes either.

And i was wondering why my phone still showing at&t bloatware even after installing the Verizon firmware. ? Now i understand Cuz I'm using at&t sim. Good to know?
Another update!
I just got updated by T-Mobile to the latest firmware after converting over as previously stated. I have to say that the update page on the phone for the T-Mobile firmware is MUCH nicer and informative than the ATT version. It tells you how much time left, the version numbers, and even a "what's new" section...
After this update, my phone is actually better at battery usage.
Hello.
Got a free phone from a buddy S21 5G. I am wanting to swap it for the S10* 1tb I gave my wife to use it was a bit expensive. So I'd rather ti go back in the box.
Popped the sim in it, it works makes calls sometimes, sometimes not. Texts seem to always work, I am currently on ATT I would prefer to have that firmware as I live in the stick with ho cell service. ATT has wifi calling which is pretty much a necessity here.
So what exactly do I need to do to get this off the VZN fir
Hello. Could you all provide me the links for what I need? Found a link that had a patched Odin plus the firmware. I installed in booted how I was suppose to. Tried to install in and it errored out. Also. I do not know what file to select for the user data selection, I do not mind deleting all data as it 8s hacked up and can put ti back with smart switch.
Hello, did you manage to flash the phone?, I'm stuck with a similar case, mine is a factory unlocked unit from Verizon, it turns out that even if it is factory unlocked, is locked after a few minutes by verizon, I have tried everything to get rid of the VZW firmware but it seems that Verizon locks the bootloader so I can't flash it (it passes om odin and everything but the firmware doesn't change)
I even paid SamKEY credits to change the CSC but it didn't change either.
