Galaxy Note 3, Note 2, S4, S3, and S2 Flash to Boost, Virgin Mobile, Ting, etc.

These instructions should work for Boost, Virgin Mobile, Ting, other Sprint MVNO, and legacy plans such as SERO, etc. I followed my exact steps as described in the Galaxy S3 thread...and guess what...it worked. Even the *2 (launches Sprint Zone app) method to activate the phone via WiFi also worked. I didn't do anything special on it whatsoever.


Assumptions:
1) You have your Samsung Galaxy phone USB drivers loaded.
2) You know how to configure your phone to get to Diag mode.
3) You know how to configure DFS to add the serial port where your phone is connected.
4) You know your phone's MSL and Samsung password and have entered both in DFS.
5) Go to the Programming tab, click on General. I'm also assuming you know what to do here. Hint: Look at the MEID field and ONLY the MEID field.
