Wrong forum. This post is current in the forum for the GT-I9100, a GSM device that works on neither Sprint nor Verizon's CDMA networks.
Sprint GS2 is the Epic 4G Touch, your post should be in that forum.
EDIT: huh. As it turns out, you ALREADY posted in that forum, and got responses. Why are you now posting the exact same question again, and this time in a device forum that is completely irrelevant to your question?

First thing to check is the model of the phone. Look on the label under the battery. If it says "GT-I9100", then you're in the right place.
HOWEVER, since you say that the phone was modded to work on Verizon, there is about 0.001% chance that it is an I9100, since the I9100 is a GSM phone, and Verizon is a CDMA network.
The phone could possibly be an SPH-D710, which is the Sprint GS II, (aka Epic 4g Touch), or maybe an SCH-R760, which is the US Cellular GS II. These are the only two CDMA versions of the Galaxy SII that I know of. If it is one of these, for SURE DO NOT USE any firmwares or kernels from this (I9100) forum.
The Epic 4g Touch has a separate forum, and the SCH-R760 doesn't have a forum on XDA at all, at the moment. But I did find related threads for this model in the Epic 4g Touch forum.
how do i flash my phone
i have a samsung galaxy s2 sch-r760 that i bought on ebay. i was told it was flashed to verizon, but it didnt work. it is currently on u.s. cellular which is cdma plz help
My iphone on tmobile pre paid is the worst service and net I ever had.I had a touch pro 2 on boost and I loved it. no problems at all. Is it possible to get the s2 on boost?? Would I easily be able to do it myself?
Considering boost mobile uses sprint network, the i9100 is not compatible. The sprint SGS2 may be compatible, but AT&T and Tmobile SGS2 wont work for boost mobile.
Note: There are a ton of SGS2, it would be better to be specific on which one you are talking about. (i9100, i9100G, i777, SPH-D710, T989(
A sprint galaxy s ii epic 4g touch, yes you can flash that to boost. A i9100 or any other gsm galaxy s ii. No..
Ok good. I know the gsm and cdma cant be mixed. Im getting a sprint s2 within a month and I wanna be ready to flash and unlock. or do I just have to unlock?
Anyway is there a tutorial? what are my options and what is most recoomended?

I'd advise you to ask your Sprint Galaxy S II (aka "Epic 4G Touch") questions in the relevant forum for that device, which is the Epic 4G Touch forum.
As already stated, this forum is specific to the I9100.

The sarcasm is a bit thick there, buddy. I was only suggesting you post on the relevant forum because you'd be much more likely to get someone who knows the answer there, since Epic 4g Touch users are much more likely to see it there, instead of here.
Hello, im new on this forum and i need help!
I just had someone flashing my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 to Page Plus. After flashing the phone it seems not to be working properly,
First: i can make and receive calls, 3g working but extremely slow. dialed *22890 to activate and *22891 to update Prl, both worked.
Second: I have the 3g icon and the telephone icon on top the screen but the telephone icon has a triangle icon on the middle which mean its roaming but its NOT!
Third: I cannot send picture messages or receive them!
Guy who flashed the phone said that the PRL wasnt compatible with my area and after making his payment he left me with the phone not working properly!
I live In Rockland, Massachusetts, 02370 and i believe im using the PRL Number 52874.
Can someone help me have this phone working 100%?
Or at least help me fixing the TRIANGLE ICON......
Thanks in advance for all of you who tried to help me,
Wrong forum for Sprint anything. This forum is for the i9100, which is a GSM phone that won't even run on Sprint's network.
You probably want the Epic 4g touch forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281

Thanks letting me know man, ill be posting the same question on the other forum.
If you can help there...... Thanks again!
I have purchased and activated a Samsung Galaxy s3 from Straight Talk model number SCH-S960L. My first question is am I able to flash from Straight Talk Sprint to Straight Talk Verizon. Second question is, since I have activated the phone will I be able to flash it at all. I have searched and searched the forums everywhere for an answer to these questions. If anyone could give me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Ghost
Interesting questions I would also like to know. I'm fairly new to this, but my two cents on this topic is this: from what I know the sch-s960l uses sprints network so if u flashed to verizon I'm not sure 4g would work because they are on different frequencies. Otherwise I wld also like to do this cuz sprint sucks in my area so no 4g for me anyway. But I believe you can still flash after activating I don't think that matters. We need a rom that will not brick our phones or hinder any features while also getting the new s4 features (hint hint). I've said b4 will say again...I WILL DONATE to anyone who can help with our sch-s960l issues

I read a few threads and am confused, so I thought I would just ask. I have a few 4G LTE devices for Verizon and am ready to switch to AT&T. Let's just say that Verizon and I had an argument and it is time to switch. Plus I would be saving over $50 to switch to AT&T with a month to month with a BYOP plan.
I visited the AT&T store today and had them insert a SIM into my S4. I get the error "This SIM card is from an unknown source" in the banner. I get a signal strength and a H for where the data symbol 4GLTE is. Then it drops the signal and refuses to have a data connection. At this time the APN settings were NOT adjusted. This was a straight out of the box S4 rooted on NC5 with Android version 4.4.2. After messing with the S4 for awhile he moved to the S3 and entered the proper APN settings. It pulled data, but only at EDGE speeds or 1X. Also, my last device, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, has no way of editing the APN settings. It is NOT rooted and is still on stock firmware.
My questions are these:
1. Can this be done?
2. What do I need to do to the phone(s)/tablet to make it work?
3. Will I be able to get 4G speeds?
I do not want to purchase phones with AT&T today because I just don't have the money. I already have these devices, I just want to swap them over. I am comfortable with flashing using ODIN and even so far as using safe-strap. I have flashed some custom roms, but my phone is a daily grind phone and I really want something that works 90% of the time.
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT:
None of the codes work either:

It was an answer to this same question asked by you. This thread is redundant.

That thread just asks if the SIM card would work and if they would need to flash a GSM ROM to their S4. That thread does not answer the questions I asked. I just gave my insight after a visit with the AT&T store. Store techs tend to not know as much as the XDA community. That is why I asked here. So no, it is not a redundant thread. I appreciate your answer, but it isn't what I am looking for. Not a straight up yes or no, this or that.
As for the GSM locks I discussed, it was from an experience I had with a Motorola Droid 2 and using it on a local GSM provider in the USA. So yes, that was pre LTE.

My point, which you apparently missed, is that there is no reason for starting up yet another thread to ask questions that have already been answered. That''s why I said that this is redundant.
OK, let me answer your questions.
1. Can this be done?
Yes, you can install an AT&T SIM, set up the APN, and it will work. What bands you get and what bandwidth you get depends on what bands AT&T are using in your area. You won't likely be able to get LTE speed; most likely just Edge. You can't fix that, as it's a limitation of the phone's radio hardware. Again, some people have made claims that you can flash the AT&T GS4 modem on a Verizon phone and change that, but that's pretty risky as it will likely brick your phone.
2. What do I need to do to the phone(s)/tablet to make it work?
It works, for some level of "work". If you're stock,some people have reported that the firmware requires CDMA for some functions, like SMS. I haven't verified that. I was able to send SMS with my phone and a UK SIM which uses the AT&T network.
3. Will I be able to get 4G speeds?
Not likely. For example, see here http://phandroid.com/2012/12/10/nexus-4-att-lte/ - the common band, LTE Band 4, has limited AT&T coverage.
I haven't gone over the specs of the two phones lately to match them up, so that may be worth looking at again.

Thank you for your answer. I decided to trade the phones into AT&T and get a credit towards a Samsung S4 and a Asus Padphone X. After I read a few more posts over the internet and a few more hours figuring out how LTE works I came across the answer. I did miss what you meant and I apologize. Again, thank you for your answer.
