i cant get my VM galaxy s3 to go into recovery mode

Are you rooted with a custom rom. If not, are you pressing the volume down, power and home buttons at the same time.

First you need custom recovery. We use philz touch. Here is the recovery img https://www.dropbox.com/s/6kofbtik1o3ooff/PhilZ Touch 6.48.4?dl=0
Download it to your phone, then use the app "flashify" to install it. I linked that app in my previous post. Now you'll use philz touch recovery to flash Roms.
Here is a thread about flashing Roms on the virgin s3 http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=6249227
Read through and it should cover it.

First of all, welcome to Android Forums! Now the fun part.

Get the app "towelroot" Install app, click " make it rain" then install SuperSU from play store. Open supersu, let it disable knox and install binaries (choose normal method) All without a computer. Enjoy root and be careful. Read a lot before installing things or modifying your system.

My new replacement says in towel root this device isn't supported.

Is it by any chance on NJ3? I know that towel root does not support the newest firmware.

Isn't that for the l710T, did they send you a triband version? I think that one has its own root method, there is a thread on the boost forums.

Yes they did it was new in the box.Ive never seen or heard of the L710 T before.

Looks like you'll have to manually do it through odin. It is supposed to connect to Sprint Spark( limited markets). There seems to be a little bit of hassle with custom roms. Here is the link to a really nice thread on the Boost Forums. I think Boost started selling the tri band version a while back .
