(Sorry if this is a duplicate of some other post, but since the forum search tool seems to have vanished, I don't feel too horrible...)
Last month, I used QPST to install a different PRL. I h ad to download KIES and everything, and it all worked swimmingly. Between then and now, I did an update PRL to see if it would help with a certain problem, so now I am of course on 60683.
I wanted to reload 01115 to see if I could actually get 3G roaming in Milwaukee, but suddenly my phone is no longer recognized by Kies or QSTP. I tried reinstalling the drivers, but it did no good.
I can still access the PHONE and Extenal_SD partitions as drives, I just can't do anything diagnostically.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dalmus
Okay, I got it working.
Kies still won't see my phone, but having Kies reinstall the drivers actually got Windows to load the drivers, and I watched what Port the phone was sitting on.
So even though I kept seeing "uknown usb device" in QPST, I selected the proper port anyway, and everything worked.

Hi. Well I had rooted my phone and was running CM6.1.1 with snapdragon kernel. When the evo shift came out, I bought it and changed over to the shift. 3days in to using shift, the micro usb port failed and would not charge. It wouldn't even recognize when connected to my computer. So had to go and return it.
But when I changed over to evo, it started having problems with data connection. I could make calls but it would not be able to connect via 3g. It could connect through wifi but that was it.
So I unrooted my phone using .ruu and haven't tried it yet. Could you guys help me out and advise me in what option I have. Thanks again.
I had a similar problem when I had my hero....I lost 3g and ended up finding the solution was to wipe all, flash a sense rom and then go back to cyanogen....
Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. I'll switch to evo tomorrow and see how it goes..
i had a similar problem with 3g data being very faulty after i updated all of my radios to the latest versions. what i did to fix the problem was full data/cache/dalvik wipe and then flash the radio: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19, flash the wimax:EVO_WiMAX_27167_R01, and flash the PRI: EVO_PRI_1.77_003. Prior to that, i had the latest PRI and it would constantly screw with my data connection, so whatever you do, do not update to the latest PRI. Its actually been said that something weird is up with it and that this problem is common.
the radios can be found right here:

good luck man, hope this helped!
I have the same issue. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and I still dont have date even after the new radio updates. Is there anything else I can do?
Have you already tried reverting back to your old radio that worked?
sure did. Nothing.
I actually did a full unroot using ruu. Then started my phone again back in stock mode. It worked after full unroot. Now I re-rooted my phone and back to using CM6.1.1 with snap dragon kernel.
Same Issue Please Help
Im having the same issue as the OP. I went from CM7 to a sense ROM and lost my Data connection. I can only connect through wifi. However I can't update my profile or my PRL This is a pretty big issue for me as I can't use any data features on the phone except when connected via wifi.
Can someone please suggest a way to re-establish my ability to connect to the sprint network. I do not have 4G in my area so I can't try that route. I have searched the forum for the last day and a half and still haven't found a solution. Ive tried reflashing the newest radios and still no luck. I have cleared the dalvik, cache and factory data reset mutiple times and I have tried sprint lovers newest ROm and also even tried reverting back to the original backup I took when I first rooted before I flashed any ROM's and still no luck. I also tried the ##3283#/MSL code/Data/ restore option and still nothing.
ANY Suggestions? Unrooting would be a last resort option followed by going to sprint and getting a new phone.

going to a sense rom, dialing ##data# and then entering your msl, then going to edit mode, top section, hit menu, and do a reset?
this usually fixes alot of data issues from what i am aware. It won't harm your phone anyway.
Yeah I have tried the ##data# restore multiple times and still nothing. It will reboot and begin the hands free activation but it never successfully completes it. Afterwards when I try to update profile it just sits in a loop saying "the network is preparing you services..." for 20 mins and then times out with nothing happening. I even tried the ##data# restore method again after reading this, for good measure, and still nothing.
Is it possible to connect via 4G and update my profile even tho I cant via 3G? I'm about an hour away from any 4G service I think Cincinnati may be the closest.
this is extremely frustrating and the worst part is that I dont know how it happened as I followed every instruction to the tee and Ive flashed mutiple multiple ROMS over the last 6 months and have had no problem until I tried going from CM7 to myn's warm2.2 rls5. After flashing the ROM and wiping EVERYTHING except the SD card I flashed the new Radio's (Cualkin's Combo pack with the newest Radios) and that's when I noticed the data connection was gone. I'm not sure as which step of the process caused the issue as I didn't notice it until I began to go thru the initial setup on the phone and was unable to connect to my gmail account.
I have backed up a few versions of rom's. Would they have the Data info I need and maybe a could just copy and paste a file or does this info need to be downloaded from sprint in order to setup the phone?
Please any advice??? I'd like to try all my options before I reroot and exchange it, If unrooting and returning is my only option can someone please point me to a good guide for the process? I used Unrevoked 3.21 for the root.
Just yesterday my computer stopped recognizing my phone. As this tends to be a big problem for me as I transfer a lot of files to and from my phone and computer a lot. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I've tried rolling back to the pre-updated driver that originally came with the phone. That didn't work. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work either. I am running windows 7 home on this computer. Does anybody have any ideas?

I have been having the same problem with mine, I am going to keep trying different solutions, but I think it may be a phone problem since I can not get it recognized under mac or linux either.
Trying to flash my phone to boost using a prevaill as a donor. I got the previal to install correctly but i am having a problem getting the s2 drivers. I installed the old epic drivers also installed kies after. Even went into device manager and tried to have windows install each driver online. I do have debug mode on. Not sure what i am missing here.
Also for some reason when i download CDMA WS it gets to 4.6 MB of 4.8 and says network error. i used different browsers. i cleared my history and cookies and no luck.

Whole thread on the issue..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419488
Ok So I did do TONS of searches and I cant find a single answer anywhere on Google. I updated the S3 to the new official Jelly bean. I lost my root. I rerooted. Installed CMW via odin and super user. Now I got myself some usb issues. My phone wont mount. It connects to the USB, I dont get any errors but it just wont open. It just says connected. I REALLY do not want to recover back to stock and lose all my stuff again.
I reinstalled kies and the drivers. Didnt work. Also replaced cmw with twrp but that didnt do much either.
I would try downloading USB Host Diagnostics and see if it can tell you what is going on with your USB issues.
Got a GS3 a little over a month ago in exchange for an Evo LTE that was having serious text message issues. As soon as I got it, I was experiencing absolutely horrible battery life, so I immediately rooted and installed Blazer rom on stock kernel. I did this through Odin, so I had to plug my phone into the computer, which recognized it as a USB storage device so I could access files and whatnot.
Fast forward to now and I"m still having seriously battery life concerns. Today, I ran the one-click unroot/return to 100% stock zip from this link. I tried to plug my phone into my pc to load the file, but though it will charge, the PC won't recognize the phone. I ended up downloading the file to the phone and resetting to stock (thinking I was taking it to Sprint tonight). I made sure the most up-to-date Samsung drivers were installed. I updated my chipset drivers. My USB 3.0 drivers. I even updated the BIOS. Tried three different USB cords and all 14 USB ports (2.0 and 3.0). No luck. Windows keeps saying "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunction and WIndows does not recognize it." I have XP, 7, and 8 all installed on this box and none would properly recognize my phone.
My question is whether this is a computer problem or a phone problem. Given my semi-advanced knowledge of computer hardware, I'm inclined to believe this is actually a problem with the phone, but don't want to go waste an hour or two at Sprint trying to get it fixed. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Picture of actual error included.
Wish I could help. I had a few issues connecting my S3 to my work computer, but downloading the Samsung drivers for the Sprint Galaxy S3 L710 from the Samsung web-site solved that problem. I'm using XP at work. On my home computer and my laptop, which are both using Windows 7 Ultimate, I haven't had an issue though.
Maybe try using the driver from the Samsung web-site or trying to install Samsung Kies and then connecting your phone.

I tried Kies. I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the drivers twice, with a restart inbetween each step to be safe. No luck.
Stopped by the Sprint store today. They couldn't get it to work either so as it turns out it was actually the USB port on the phone.
