Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] Stock Rom

Does anybody happen to have a link to the stock metropcs rom? I was on the latest version that was available via OTA. I put cm10 on my wifes phone, and although I made a backup (using rom manager), she didn't like cm10 so I tried taking it back to stock. I flashed the backup back to her phone, and it got stuck at the metropcs boot screen.

I ended up using odin to put cwm back on it and flashed cm10 back so I could get back into the phone, but I don't have a working stock rom backup anymore that I can use. Does anyone have one that I can flash onto her phone and get it working again?

We both have gs3's from metro, and I am also on cm10, is there a way I can take MY backup and put it on her phone, and restore it that way? Not sure exactly how the backups work as opposed to the stock roms.

You can use your backup. Just make sure you do a factory reset before it boots. Or else she will read your secret email accounts!!

LMAO! Man, it's getting so hard to hide a mistress these days. :p

okay, so something is up. I found the actual stock rom that Samsung uses that you have to flash with odin (It flashes the boot, recovery, system and cache), and after rebooting after flashing, I STILL have the metropcs boot thing where it just sits at metropcs. What's the problem?
