If you have an extra phone of yours you used to have on your account.. do this.. dial
1. ##626*
Enter 587846
It should take you into your phones programming menu (old phone)
There you will find your necessary info to reprogram your s3.
Are the steps a metro rep will do.. how can I assure you? Im a MetroPCS rep in SoFL.

Ave any question.. message me on kik:armaestilo

Master s Lock i cant remember what the s stands for :P anyways its what is used on sprint all the time to enter debug menus etc. its a 6 digit code special to each device. the easiest way to get it is to enter in 000000 and hit enter. it will say error wrong code, then load up terminal emulator and type the following EXACTLY

getprop ril.MSL

that should spit out your 6 digit code and then you make sure to write it down :P

once you do the RTN it should return to factory default programming, if that doesnt immediatly fix it then a quick *228 afterwards will (only reason i know is cuz all this same shit happened to me earlier :) ask n4zty/mrpnut i was getting pissed at the phone :P)

Exactly...I connected phone to PC and searched folders but cannot locate pics. I just want to get these off my phone. :confused:
Click to expand...
make sure the pic are on your phone and not on your computer.. with ice and jb the phone will show you pic that are on your network.. that's why you can't delete them.. to find out if the pic you are talking about are on the phone and not on your network or google + turn your phone to airplane mode then look to see if the pics are still showing up... if so sorry I can't help you.
 
by the way i got it running i just didnt clear system at first. rom is nice i will see how battery life plays out
 
I suggest an easy extra step of measure write down your min down then proceed to flash if anything would take a sec to reprogram. If nv restore don't work for ya of course

In phone status network says unknown and my phone number is wrong

You will have to manually restore it in the hidden menu. Pick msl menu. Pick edit. MDN field is your phone number. MSID field is your MIN number. (you will have to call *228 talk to a metro operator to get MIN). Tap done and it will reboot.
 
I've already went back to stock unroot I'm just going to take it to metro
but without I step by step tutorial for me someone who is not a Pro I'm amateur at this stuff I wouldn't be able to do it
Is there anything I goto do to make sure I'm unrooted
 
using the return to stock guide i posted will return and wipe everything, except your flash counter. i am working on possibly fixing that ourselves without chainfires app since he doesnt seem to care. unfortunately until i get it perfected there is a risk of bricking, so i have been rather hesitant to attempt that and break the phone yall got me.
 
Nice shit dude cant wait to use ur method on reseting the counter but noob question here how do u check ur counter number thingy ha

It's displayed in download mode. The app you've been using to boot into recovery should have an option to boot into download mode as well.
