Quick question, I did a search on this but couldn't find much info. My wife and I just switched from crapass AT&T to Credo, we got two 32GB SGS3s for free, plus they pay our early termination fees, couldn't pass it up. Credo uses the Sprint network, so my question is am I going to use the Sprint SGS3 roms on my phone? I don't have the phones yet, I will check the model number when they arrive but I thought I'd check here too.

Thanks!

Yes, you'll use the Sprint SGS3 ROMs. However, take note that the MMS will get screwed up in the process. You'll have to fix the APN MMSC setting to instead of the Sprint setting that gets input by default. The thread titled "Can't send MMS on CREDO-Sprint phone after rooting,unrooting, please help (APN,MMSC)" on AndroidCentral has the correct info. (Can't link because I'm new here!)

If you flash to CM10, use the Voice Dialer as directed on that thread to access the APN settings.

Using Credo Mobile's Preferred Roaming List

Ok, many ROMs do not come with the correct APNs for 3rd party Sprint Network users. You have to remove the default APNs and then add the latest Preferred Roaming List. Also known as the Access Point Name (APN).


Here is the file with the new Credo Mobile APNs for any ROM that can't connect to LTE or to Sprint's servers to get MMS messages.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7es3vh5c67jdqwh/apns-credo.xml
This xml file is structured to be used with the app "APN Backup & Restore" .
Make sure the APN app is moved to the system folder. I used "/system/app mover" to do this.


Below is the code to the XML file.


Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?> 
<apns count="4"> 
  <apn name="APN0 LTE ota" numeric="310000" mcc="310" mnc="000" apn="otasn" user="" server="" password="" proxy="" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="" type="fota" /> 
  <apn name="APN0 EHRPD ota" numeric="310000" mcc="310" mnc="000" apn="otasn" user="" server="" password="" proxy="" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="" type="fota" /> 
  <apn name="APN2 LTE internet" numeric="310000" mcc="310" mnc="000" apn="n.w1.ispsn" user="" server="" password="" proxy="" port="" mmsproxy="68.28.31.7" mmsport="80" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.plspictures.com" type="default,mms" /> 
  <apn name="APN2 EHRPD internet" numeric="310000" mcc="310" mnc="000" apn="n.w1.ispsn" user="" server="" password="" proxy="" port="" mmsproxy="68.28.31.7" mmsport="80" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.plspictures.com" type="default,mms" /> 
</apns>
UPDATE: This list of APNs provide 3G, 4G LTE EVDO, and 2G CDMA but NOT MMS support. I don't know why. I am looking into updating my code.
