Samsung Gusto 3 on Sprint

[Blueyzachary]

Hello, I have a Samsung Gusto 3 (SM-B311V) and I would like to use it on Sprint. It is currently on Verizon, and I have access to CDMA workshop if necessary. (I'd prefer to not have to go and use that.) I want to find a way to flash it or reprogram it. Could someone give me instruction on how to do this?

Did you ever figure out how to flush it over to Sprint. If not hopefully someone figures out how to do it

I did not. I ended up bricking that phone. It's in a bootloop now. If it wasn't in a bootloop, I might've tried using an SDR, and creating a mock Verizon, so I could get some details. Are you trying to do this?

Yes I will eventually when I get the phone.

Have you tried downloading the firmware again from Samsung website and flashing it with qpst to try to fix the boot loop it might be worth a try.

I don't know if this would work. I don't know if I can connect to the phone, an it is not an Android device.

I saw that Samsung does still have the firmware. I know it is not android. But I believe west does allow you to flash firmware.

what is an SDR? a mock verizon?
i wish there was more info available about reflashing basic phones, instead of only android.
basic phones are funner to talk about cuz they're unique.
