Help! No signal/data after restoring stock backup (Sprint)

Here is what I did:
1. flashed CWM
2. backed up the factory stock ROM
3. Flashed Phantom's ROM
4. Booted back to CWM and restored stock ROM
No signa/data now. It's like I have no radio.
flashed the LG2 modem and still no signal/radio
Back to CMW. Flashed a stock/deodexed/rooted ROM = no signal/data
What could be the problem? Help!

Did you happen to lose your IMEI?

Were you able to fix it?

Ok, this stupid update is driving me nuts!

Every 5 minutes I get prompted to install the update. I have done everything humanly possible to get rid of it (to my knowledge and of asking around). Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the update? I don't even know why there is an update when I have a custom ROM.
Rooted Phone w/Blazer ROM 1.6
I even unrooted my phone, went back installed the update, and re-rooted my phone and its still there!
I clear dalvick cache and it buys me another day or 2 before I start getting prompted again to install it. How can I get rid of it, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!
And yes, i've seen other posts and did the radio change and other installs as well that were "supposed" to fix it

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805618
Try the suggestion there. Worked for me.
Of course, since you're on a custom ROM though, you should make the edits yourself.
I made the change, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache partition, and no update notification since.

On my epic when I had it rooted and was getting bugged by an update (not sure if this will work on this phone) I would let install and let it fail (it was rooted) pull the battery and restart the phone and it would go into clock work and I would restart from there and it wouldn't bug me again till my next reboot.

Did you nandroid b4 doing the update? If so, revert back cuz phantom is working on the OTA update

Just go back to the stock Rome, update the phone, root and flash the rom again...

Be sure to make a backup before changing it, just in case.

Just let the update go through...
It will fail and then it won't bother you no more. At least that's what worked for me last night....

This works for me, I kept disabling things till I found it and narrowed it down:
1. Install "system tuner" by 3c
2. Go to "Startups"
3. Scroll down to "google services framework" and tap it
4. UNCHECK anything to do with "SystemUpdateService"

I think alot of us are waiting for a method to update using Twrp because we lost stock recovery when we rooted. Are there any methods out yet, or has anyone been successful with twrp recovery?

There are currently no methods to update using TWRP or stock recovery with root. I switched back to stock recovery from TWRP using the GN2 Toolkit, and it didn't work. I've also seen people having trouble updating even after unrooting, uninstalling Busybox, and going back to stock recovery, so we're just going to have to wait.

Decent video. For the record. You can do this without a PC (the video says you cannot). Just download the file to your phone's SD card from his link.

I don't think the video says you can't? I just recommend you use a PC to ensure you don't get a corrupt download. If you're going to download from your phone make sure you have a wifi connection (4g should work fine as well)

[Q] New GS3 - not getting JB update?

Had my GS3 for a few months and it's been great! So I got my GF hooked up with a Sprint GS3 as well (she loves her gadgets, too):good: but it's still on ICS and not getting the JB update from Sprint. What's the issue? Tried the system update/ reboot / etc. Hers is not rooted. How do I get it to prompt her for that update?
Thanks!

Very easy process, go to system settings, click on applications Manager. You will see tabs at the top (download, running, all). Go to the all tab and scroll down to Google service frame work, click on it and on the next screen click on clear data. Go back to system update, this will show you available updates. If you don't see it in first try, do this for few more time and you will get the JB update.

This man speaks the truth. I just did this yesterday and it started the update process on the third try. You may have to try more times than that, though.

Don't accept an OTA if you're rooted. If you're rooted just flash a JB ROM instead. If you accept an OTA with a rooted device you run the chance of losing root.

Provided you have a custom recovery installed (CWM or TWRP) you can accept the OTA update and it will fail because you're not on the stock recovery. Doing this will also help to avoid the repeated OTA notification. :good::good::good:

See the update lk8 update Zip thread. Another member who I can't remember at the moment figured it out. The fix is to odin ljc using a tar or the stock restore exe. Then redo the lk8 update.zip and the chameleon error goes away.

I have it don't fix it. It's some left over code if you flashed an LK8 rom and went back to an LJC. I have run throught every format option in TWRP and used Odin to flash a factory stock image. No one seems to know where it's coming from!

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
I'll quote myself from another post (written in a slight daze late last night:

(history: I was rooted stock w/ twrp from the mskip toolkit method of rooting, got rid of twrp using the mrRobinson stock w/ root, and flashed the sxtp update to lk8, got a wifi failbug and tried to get back to stock rooted using mrRobinson and started getting this issue. lol. ok. so... one-clicked your rooted full restore, still there. is that even possible?)

And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a BU from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?

I feel exactly how you do. The phone works but the errors are bothering me.

I suppose that it's worth noting that I get no errors whatsoever on flashing, OneClicks, or Odins. Although, on stock recovery (I think?) I seem to remember seeing the Android on its back w/ a red triangle?

Sprint is apparently replacing these for this error. If you go into the store and have them look at it. I've been told that Sprint is replacing these devices as there is no fix until the OTA is released. That's just what I heard.
I would definitely be back to stock before paying then a visit.

Do you have the download link for the ALJ1? I'm gonna try that to see if it work.

I went back to lj1 and let it update to ljc. Errors stuck around. Only way I've avoid the errors is by leaving phone with lk8 which lucky for me works perfectly.
I did try the store replacement thing but they wanted to give me a refurbished phone as replacement. I am going to wait for an update and cross fingers it works without error.
