Let's flash my Sprint SPH-L710 (S3)

[TechnoLoGs]

I am in the CWM menu, yes.

Do I want to:

-- wipe data/factory reset?
-- wipe cache partition?
-- backup and restore?
-- mounts and storage?
-- advanced?

YUP my phone is back factory, asking me a bunch of questions!

 

[TechnoLoGs]

I have the phone on and sent to Superuser app but it doesnt appear I can do anything with it.

Were you trying to install an aftermarket ROM?

I actually did it again and I now have the "Factory restore" (to Sprint maybe or maybe not) on there. I can boot my phone and get in the menu and see the apps, etc.

My only remaining question is now how "they" (Me?) gets this on Boost Mobile!

You need to unlock it. However, can you use it on WiFi to make sure you have the latest factory ROM on there? I believe you need it to use that unlock guide I gave you earlier.

I could use it on Wifi, sure. What am I checking for when I get on there?

For updates to the OS.

I assume that it will automatically tell me if there are any?

Eventually. But if you go into Settings and then I think "about" you can choose "check for updates" or something and see if there are any.

I went into Superuser and it confirmed my phone has "Root access!"

Now, as to settings.. lemme check.

.. System Update?
Update Firmware/Update Samsung Software?

^^ My system is up to date.

You already rooted your phone..... Why are you posting rooting videos? You need to UNLOCK it to use it on a carrier that isn't Sprint.

Having trouble with the CDMA workshop, etc part. I need a "donor phone?"

Why not just use it on Wifi? Setup a Google Voice account (free) you'll have a stable number that won't change when you get your service disconnected. Download GrooVe IP Lite (free) and use VOIP for free. There are free Wifi hotspots all over the place.
