hello
anyway to get the original firmware for sprint usa galaxy s2?
Reason i ask is cause i was told to root my samsung galaxy s2 and followed the guide shown here on the site. Now the rooting went perfect but i didnt even realize/think that since this is the usa model its diferent from all the others wuth the buttons on the bottom, now after rooting the buttons dont work except the back button. Unless anyone here has another idea
thanks
P.s. sorry for double post just desperate here due to my phone not working with service or anything due to this dumb mistake i made

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
Does anyone know if I can activate the Japanese model of the Galaxy S3 in the US on Verizon? I have some contacts there who may be able to send me one, and I dont want to upgrade from my Samsung Charge through VZ because I will lose my unlimited data. Also, will there be any issues flashing custom roms to this phone? I wouldnt think so, but Im not sure if there are any physical differences between the two that would cause problems. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
gang I am really confused about the different model iterations of the Galaxy S3, SIII, S III, for T-Mobile. not for at&t "unlocked" or anything else, just the one sold in the USA for T-Mobile customers... what is a Galaxy S 3 "LTE" ? What is a SGH-T999 ? is there another, earlier model than either of these [if they are diff].
this is all leading somewhere because I still have lots of wifi related bugginess with this one and I'm trying to sort out whether there was a "Galaxy S3" for T-Mobile that was buggier than the rest and whether I got one... but first need to make sure which handset I'm talking about and looking for answers on.
thanks for helping me!

Honestly not sure. This is the GT-i9300 Q&A. This is the 3G international version. There is also the GT-i9305 which is the LTE International version, but we don't really know anything abaout those crazy US S3's that exist. They're completely different to these versions.
Have a look, perhaps there's a dedicated area for the T-mob US device. As per the sticky at the top of this forum, this area is not for US S3's
well, that is what I thought... I used the "type to find device" search engine for Galaxy S III T-Mobile and it points here.
Thank you for trying to help!
much appreciated
There are 2 different us models. The older t999 will run 4g and the newer model has the radio to run 4g LTE. Hope that helped a little. I was just at the T-Mobile store yesterday asking what's the difference between my old model and the new and the data connection is about it. Does your s3 that you have now a T-Mobile phone for sure and does it run 4g or 4g LTE?

Odd. When I do it, it takes me there:

Hello wonderful people!
I have a question for you. I have a Galaxy S4 on US Cellular, rooted, with Team Win recovery and Carbon Rom. On my old S1 and S3, I could run Verizon roms without any issues. However, I've noticed with this phone that i have run roms labeled as being specifically for USC or my phone won't fully boot. It seems like about half of the roms here also have a USC version, but I'd love to be able to run all the roms
Does anyone here know a workaround for this problem?
This information is just from my own experience. Does anyone have any more intelligent insight?
Does anyone know why the S4 is more picky about roms than the S3 was? Is there something that can be unlocked?

Bump?
Have you checked the Sprint forums also? I would read around, now that Sprint "owns" USC, things might be better for you over "there"
