I rooted my virgin mobile galaxy s3 and was installing cm11 then something went wrong and i bricked my phone. I managed to unbrick it but it was off of the sprint firmware because i thought it was the virgin mobile firmware. Now im stuck with a useless sprint galaxy s3 when my actual carrier is virgin mobile. I really need my phone as im going on vacation soon so if anyone could help me or has the virgin mobile stock firmware for the galaxy s3 sph-l710 that would be great thanks for any help!!!
 
If your phone turns on don't give up.I haven't had the phone long enough to know but I'm sure there is a stock file to Odin ya back.
 
Im sure theres a virgin mobile firmware but i need somebody who has it or someone who has a virgin mobile phone so i can atleast get my phone back to virgin mobile and not sprint
 
I'm VM too but I'm not sure where it is. I'm sure its here.One of the others guys will respond soon.Use the search button.I'm at work or I'd look I'd like to have it too for a just incase.
 
I am worried that you might have flashed a KNOX bootloader when you flashed that sprint ROM. Can you tell us exactly what you flashed and how. Trying to flash a new bootloader over a KNOX bootloader can actually brick your phone.
 
are you certain u flashed a sprint only rom as well, cause all roms from CM team even the d2lte ones will cause your phone to say sprint on lockscreen and notification bar, if thats the case you may just need to flash the apn fix


give us all the details

what rom you flashed exactly?, maybe even a link
what gapps you used?
did you flash anything besides those 2 things? if so then what?
and also are you sure you have the 710, cause weve seen before certain different places like Canada use a different model number even tho its a VM phone still
