hi all, been following the Epic forums for sometime, finally decided to start getting involved
Im experiencing an issue with EB13. when it first came out I Odined EB13, everything worked great. Since then I have ran into the same issue every time I switch ROMS. I will flash the new rom, about half the time it works great. The other half I get no connectivity at all, and the UI is sluggish. Going into about phone, I see that my baseband is unknown, and my hardware version is unknown.
I can usually get it to connect after re-flashing and re-flashing the rom a few times.
Also, noticed that once I get it to actually connect and I get "bars", I will of course then do a fresh Nandroid, after a full nand backup the issue reappears.
Anyone know what this could be? weird thing is just that its so random. I can get it to work most of the time, just have trouble when switching roms.
Set up:
CWM3.0.0.6/EXT4
Just flashed SyndicateROM today.
EB13 (sometimes)
FIXED
FIXED. all the computers in my home are Macs so odining the modem again is not a quick fix option.
Booted into CWM3 and Fixed Permissions.
Booted up and connected.
Interesting stuff
I've been experiencing the exact same problem as the OP, but for me, running fix permissions in CWM (2.5.1.0) doesn't (always) solve the issue.
It seems to happen anytime I flash a zip from CWM, and goes away randomly (usually after sever flash attempts and modem restores with Odin).
Really hoping someone has an idea what's causing this issue, because it makes flashing things very tedious knowing half the time I'm gonna be stuck with a useless phone until I can get the modem working again.
I'm wondering if it's somehow a hardware issue, since it doesn't seem to affect everybody.
If it helps, I have the stock deodexed EB13 ROM with the Genocide 0.3a kernel.
I'm definately thinking its a cwm issue.. ill even just do a nandroid backup for kicks, reboot and it will do it sometimes.. eventually I might odin back to eb13 and reflash cwm and custom rom and see if I can get it to go away

Let me know if that works for you, because it happens to me all the time, and it's really annoying.
There also doesn't seem to be a simple way of fixing it.
Seems to just randomly go away as suddenly as it comes on.
Okay, so I just odined back to stock EB13 and I still have modem issues.
Currently going all the way back to DI18 to see if that fixes things, but is it safe to assume it's a hardware issue if even Odin doesn't fix it?
Okay, so the unknown baseband issue is back for me, and I seem to have made some headway on what causes it.
I had just tried to initiate a ROM backup in ROM Manager, but it hung while rebooting into CWM (on the Samsung Boot Logo).
I think I might have been doing something with ROM Manager last time it happened as well.
Can anyone who knows more about this stuff than I do think of a reason it'd happen when using ROM Manager?
I'd very much like to nip this issue for good, because it's making it hard to justify using CWM/root if I'm gonna keep losing the phone part of my phone.
Can I bump this? My battery died, and when I turned it back on, I have the unknown baseband, unknown hardware problem. I've been googling all night, and haven't found a solution.
I have been running ERA Legendary v3 on the EI22 Modem for a few weeks with ACS Recovery that I've had installed since it came out.
Any help would be awesome.

And I've tried flashing modems/roms and odining modems/roms. Even Heimdalling modems/roms. No luck. I've mainly tried ec05 and up. I will try older ones right now, if I can find them.
Is anyone else having this problem, was fine all day now is randomly rebooting. What must be done to fix this?? Install was done correctly
Random Reboots tend to happen because of the leaked ICS kernel/ROM. it also causes FC's. Lets just hope soon we get the official ICS.

Random reboots are mostly being caused by using 4G while the Hacked Hotspot is setup on your phone. Currently the work-around is to turn-off 4G or to ask your dev to remove it from the ROM.
I've been having issues with Slimbean 4.3 and random reboots, after doing a master wipe 3 times and having the issue of random reboots consistently. I saw that apparently flashing the LK3 modem can help solve these problems - but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link to it somewhere?

Wondering if anyone knows why the phone randomly reboots since the 4.3 update. I have a rooted, stock(Cnexus) 4.3 ROM with Philz recovery; but the same thing is happening to wife's fully stock GS3 with 4.3. This isn't a debilitating issue, as it's not that frequent, but annoying since it occurs every 2-3 days. Any insight or thoughts appreciated
Thread bump-
Hoping for some possible remedies
So I've recently used ODIN to restore the stock ND8 factory image on my S3 and now it is constantly crashing and then rebooting and I'm not sure the reason. I don't have an issue on a stock rooted rom, or another custom rom just the factory image itself. I do not have an SD card in my phone as I know sometimes they cause issues. The phone is booting up and if I'm fast enough and I keep doing something on it, sometimes it will keep working until I stop using it and sometimes it just crashes anyways and reboots.
If anyone has any other solutions to try or knows how to fix this issue I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
