SPH-L710 Custom Roms on L710VPUDOH1 baseband version

[BigCountry907]

I got a Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 and it was all ready updated to the L710VPUDOH1 baseband version. After searching around a little bit I noticed that most of the Roms are for baseband L710VPUDND8 and that some of the ND8 roms would not flash correctly.

I guess maybe i found a workaround for this. When i first tried to flash the CM 12.1 Rom I got error and it did not load. Did not hurt anything either. Was a little tricky getting initial root but got it all working.

Figured id share how i accomplished this in case someone else with the L710VPUDOH1 baseband wants to run the other Roms.

First i tried to root with Odin and the supersu.zip but it didnt take correctly.

Odin showed successful and the supersu flashed to the /system but every time i tried to run supersu I get Unfortunately SuperSU stopped working.

So i ended up using ODIN to get Temp CWM recovery and installed the CF-Autoroot in the CWM recovery. This woorked to get Root.

I downloaded the TWRP manager from playstore andused it to install TWRP 2.8.1.0

The TWRP Manager gave me an error but when i booted into recovery I had TWRP.

After that i tried to flash CM 12.1 in TWRP but got error and it didnt work.

I read that wicked 2.2 would load,

its big all most a gig so i figured it was pretty complete. maybe based off of stock.

I loaded it successfully.

afterwards i booted back into twrp and did an advanced wipe of.

Dalvic Cache
/ system
/data
/internal storage
/cache

Then i loaded Cm 12.1 with no issues.
Tested Pac-Rom No issues.

Im thinking any of the newer roms will flash fine now.

I'm hoping you left out some steps, because if you tried flashing CM 12.1 without doing a wipe on System/Data/Cache/Dalvik then you will not have a working phone.

I don't think the roms care if your on ND8 or NJ2 or whatever the latest is . You should also update twrp to 2.8.7.0 . Version 2.8.4.0 and on allow you to flash a new twrp version image right from recovery . 2.8.1.0 is pretty old . Best of luck with your new hobby .

Ya i didnt have any troubles.

Im currently working on 5 devices and writing sort of a kitchen.

But it dose way more than most kitchens. Even creates a CWM style backup over adb like onandroid.

I found a way to patch a factory recovery.img to flash files signed with my own keys and that kinda started it all.

Anyway Merry Christmas

what's the root method for DOH1? ;; I can't seem to find a thread specifically walking through the root method for the latest baseband and i have an old S3 and was thinking of playing around with it for a while for fun turn it into a light weight media player to save battery on my LG G4 since we all know how inconsistent and crap the battery can be with the G4 lol

 

[BigCountry907]

The root is pretty easy.
I used this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812
Then just get Clockworkmod or TWRP recovery for the d2spr sphl710 and flash it.

After that load any rom you want

Same as always, use odin to flash a .tar of twrp. Then use twrp to flash a .zip of SuperSU. Done

Doh1

Is there any rom working at Doh1 version?

All of them

All of them

Really? I have been told there was nothing for the l710vpudoh1 version. Would you mind to help me out with this topic of flashing a rom, please? P.D: Sorry about my english.

Oh1 is not a version of the phone. It's just a build number.
Do you have the triband model? What carrier?

Got no idea. It is the sprint CDMA version.

 

[madbat99]

Got no idea. It is the sprint CDMA version.

Well that's what you need to know. Oh1 doesn't matter. There is oh1 for regular s3 and triband s3. Regular is sph-L710 and triband is sph-L710t. Does it have a t at the end of the model number?

It doesn't have any t. So I guess it Ies the regular one. I want to know how to root it and flash a rom.

To root, you need odin on your PC. You can get it here.
Use odin to flash twrp recovery. You can get twrp from their site. twrp
Get the .tar of the newest build for d2spr (sprint s3). Put it on you PC somewhere you can find it (download folder is fine)

There are tutorials everywhere for using odin. It's the way to root almost all Samsung phones.
You also need the Samsung drivers on your PC. I don't have a link for that at this moment.
Then launch odin on your PC.
Put phone in download mode (from powered off, hold power+home+volume down)
Plug phone in to PC and odin should say "added"
Click AP button in odin then navigate to where you have the Twrp .tar downloaded and select it
Click start in odin.
When it finishes it should say pass.
Don't let the phone boot to system, unplug it and take out battery
Put batter back in and boot directly to twrp recovery by holding power+home+VOLUME UP
In twrp select reboot, then system. It should say you don't have root and ask if you want root. Swipe the arrow for yes. Once it boots, open SuperSU and update binaries if it asks. Choose normal method.
Done. Rooted.


You should really have looked up how to root before coming to a thread about flashing roms. There are tutorials everywhere for rooting this phone. Google is your friend dude.


Edit: you can get the Samsung USB drivers here
That thread has rooting instructions too. It's for the virgin Mobile s3, but its the same phone. Those instructions work fine. Only difference is I linked you to twrp recovery instead of philztouch (philz development is dead) and I linked you to a newer odin.
If you are that new that you aren't sure about rooting, maybe start over there in Android forums. I'm a guide there.

I was given a SPH-L710... Originally purchased from sprint.... Currently activated on boost. I got the phone Dec. 24 2015. It had stock unrooted DOH1 with untripped warranty bit. I have successfully booted and ran these roms for a minimum of 24 hrs each. As far as I could tell they were fully functional including: 4G LTE, MMS send and recieve, hotspot, wifi, bluetooth, camera (still and video). All main fuctions worked correctly for the limited time that I used each rom. :

-Wicked-X-Bare-Bones.zip
-Wicked-X-v8.2.zip
-cm-11-20150831_SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3FN-d2lte.zip
-cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K7-d2spr.zip
-cm-12.1-20160202-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip
-cm-13.0-20160130-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.zip

Im currently running CM13 unofficial as a daily driver. Cm12.1 SNAPSHOT was also very responsive and gave me no problems. I flashed them with twrp.2.8.7.2-d2spr.img. i flashed the recovery with odin after i made it into a .tar.md5 using linux mint 17.3 cinnamon. For the lte and mms i used "apn backup and restore" from google play with the root explorer method. Open gapps aroma for each android version i got from cyanogenmod website. i would recommend searching and using the dd command with adb shell in a linux terminal or cygwin to backup every partition on your doh1 first. (You will need root and busybox) There should be 24 partitions in mmcblk0. Make a backup of every one and you can recover one way or another ALMOST regardless of what may or may not go wrong. I used supersu 2.65 zip. Ive had alot of issues due to DOH1 but all the resources are in that easily used omnibox. Hope any of this info helps you.

Thanks a lot. I have already rooted the phone but now I want to know what Roms are made to this device.

Thanks man is there any link you can share with me? I really want to flash a rom but there is no one with this device in Facebook groups. So if you can share any Rom and the way it should be flashed I will be really thankful.

P. D: as I mentioned before I have no perfect English skills so I hope you understand what I mean.

You have the sprint s3, but are you on sprint? If you are not on Sprint there are additional instructions. Any rom that says its for D2spr is fine. That's the sprint s3.
this is the one I'm using.

Actually, I don't use any company cause I don't live in the US so I use the phone only with WiFi.
