[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] will be updating soon to include knox info and some general updated information.... Hard to find the time here lately, but I should be able to get to it this weekend
@flastnoles11 if you're still keeping this thread up, I have three questions that I think would be a great addition to this list;

What is a bootloader?
What is a modem?
What is a kernel?

Lately I've read too many posts where these three things, and the functions of each, are thoroughly confused with each other.

Made ya look!

I wish these links were kept up-to-date. Anyone know where I can get stock files for the Sprint Galaxy S 3?

Apologizes are not needed when family comes first. It's already known. [emoji6]

I have a sprint gs3, and I'm in the process of moving it to page plus.

For some odd reason it won't talk to CDMA workshop no matter what. It's rooted and stock tw rom. I've managed to get the spc /sml code. And was able to connect it before.

All that's left is to update the prl.

Soft bricked it once and recovered, but now it won't talk to the programs I hook it up to.

Anyone have ideas? I've been all over Google about this already, but I may have missed something.

EDIT:
currently when dialing any numbers, I don't get anything, maybe the phone is messed up somehow.

Quick question that maybe you could add. If I'm on nd8 what roms can I flash? I already know that if I'm on nd8 I can only flash nd8 TW roms. What about aosp?

Thanks

Wrong bud... Common misconception, you can actually flash any rom you want... Just can't change bootloader (which ROM zips VERY rarely do and if they do it'll be noted in the op). Just don't downgrade with Odin and you can flash whatever you'd like
