I don't have the device, here's the thread (2 of them)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725395 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726088

stock boot.img from sprint is compatible with t-mobile

If you (like me) bricked your perfectly working phone by flashing an international boot image. The stock boot.img file from the Sprint version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726088&page=3 works to bring it back from the dead.

All I can say is that next time I'm going to patiently wait for a complete root. I had a couple of panicked hours there.

I'm uploading a system dump of the t-mobile galaxy s3 for some one to find what they need for root. Should be done in 30 minutes.

I'm looking in to this now to see if we can use this to flash our own recovery.

Here's the link to a system dump for t-Mobile's s3.

I did a adb system pull to get this.

If you don't know what your doing with this i suggest not flashing anything to you phone or it might be bricked. It is for Dev's who don't have the phone yet to use.

AT&T, T-MOBILE, SPRINT, VERIZON have the same models and processor, s4 i figure the only different between all these 4 carriers is their radio, why wouldnt a rom from the gs3 from sprint work on tmobile gs3 and vise versa? if we can keep the same radio and kernel it should be fine. as on rooting method and recoveries

i understand if the hardware was different but we have the same chip and hardware in this case

Well I'm new to samsung phones but my hunch would be they have different boot loaders. But I'm not sure if that would have any thing to do with it since the boot loader is unlocked.

View the development thread.

We have root!!

Is kinda like the HTC sensation 4G (tmobile us) HTC sensation XE (international with beats) and the HTC sensation (international) same phone same hardware same processor different clocked and all roms works rooting method works and all the goods in development. as long you have the proper radio you were fine. in this case all us version are the same not the international one witch have the samsung exynos quadcore thats a hardware different there. In any case i might be wrong. as i see each of the us sgs3 have its own thread stead of a single one

 

[deeznutz1977]

i know this is stupid to ask as, they dont mean anything. Do you guys think you guys could throw me a bone, for bring this method to our attention if not its nbd. Ill catch em down the road ill be here a while

Boot image?

Can you post the image you used or instructions on what you did? I have downloaded the boot.img from the Sprint thread but getting it loaded is a mystery. Thank you
