i dont have a linux , and although im aware that boost runs of sprint would it be a risk to do it if it was for boost ?

You can't downgrade the boot loader. Since you can get into download mode try to Odin 4.4.2 back to the phone. If that starts working then install a custom recovery through Odin (Philz is the only one that seems to work right with KitKat so use that) then flash any 4.3 custom rom you want like MOAR or Wicked Sensations. That's the only way you can run 4.3 roms now that you have the ND8 boot loader. You also can't downgrade the modem so don't try that. Good luck.

The Sprint 4.4.2 tar was in that thread also. But, sounds like you found it.

It worked for me on Boost SPH-L710 which is basically the same thing. It will take 5 minutes to try it. No risk.


It works on a LOT of phones.

I moved this thread from the general section for the S3 into the root forum for the Sprint S3.

Well, then I saw you had another duplicate thread in there already and removed that thread since it seems you got sorted

Any questions or confusion, blame me and pm me

Carry on!!
