Not sure if the subject has been brought up before but basically, I have a Straight Talk S3 and would like to know if it's possible to essentially turn it into a Sprint S3 via software. I have been trying to actually flash the phone to nTelos, a regional carrier. I have cut through all the red tape and made it grab a COM port, and managed to acquire the SPC code. However when I flash it the same way I would flash a sprint model on the same 4.1.2 software, the PRL reverts to Straight talk after a reboot.

I've already gutted the phone and found that the board is indeed labelled SPH-L710. Just a Sprint board with different software, which seems to reject flashing. So I'm wondering what would have to be done to kick the Straight Talk software out and force Sprint software into it?
