[Q] Can't connect to Kies - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys, I am trying to connect my Rogers SGS3 to kies to update to jelly bean (OTA doesn't work) and all I get is a connecting screen. It has something to do with my device because I connected my dads S3 to my kies and it worked.
What I've tried:
Connection troubleshoot
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Rebooting phone
What else can I do? I am rooted with the KT747 kernel.

Sound the same with mine. Back up your apps & all, restore to factory defaults, THEN connect to Kies, run the update, after it's done, restore your apps and all that you backed up. Just for giggles when you do the restore, clear your cache history.

[Q] Data network not connecting

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
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.

S3 Will not connect to computer.

So last I synced my phone was about a month ago so I went to sync it again yesterday to get all my new music and an error popped up saying "USB Device not recognized" So I went to another computer same thing. One is running win8 the other win7. I uninstalled Kies and all driver and reinstalled them on both computers same thing USB error. I tried my girlfriends S3 today and it connected no problem. So I know its a problem with my phone and not my computers. I have tried clearing the cache rebooting in safe mode and download mode, pulling out the battery and sim and pretty much everything else with no fix. What else am I missing here or what should I try?

After the factory reset and during the set-up that follows on reboot, does it prompt you to set up a wireless connection? This should usually the second step in the set-up process.

Glad to know your phone is now working normally. If you are on stock 4.1.2 getting 4.3 OTA update should be a breeze. If required, however, I would suggest you take advantage of the flexibilities offered by the lower firmware especially free unlocking before updating to 4.3

[Q] Voice Calls Not Working On Network STOCK ROM

Just recently I noticed that voice calls were not working when I was on my network, but work fine when I'm connected to Wifi-Calling. I have not rooted, flashed, or anything on this phone before. Anyone know what's up?
Something to do with last update?
Try a reboot. Experienced this on wife's Note 3. Reboot cleared it up.

I've tried rebooting, rebooting in safemode, and wiping the cache. Only thing I have not done is a full factory reset.

4.4.4 M919UVUFNH7 The latest one offered by Kies

Android 10 broke my phone's Mobile Hotspot Functionality.

Samsung Galaxy A50 (SAM-A505FN)
Android 10
One UI 2.0
Hello,
I updated my phone last night with the above updates and for some reason, Windows 10 now no longer sees my phone's hotspot.
Other devices in my home connect to the phone just fine. No updates were applied to my PC before or after the phone update.
I've reset everything on the phone multiple times. The network isn't hidden. Encryption doesn't make a difference. Changing the band doesn't do anything either.
The phone connects to the internet fine via USB and Bluetooth.
Does anyone know what could have happened and if there is a way to solve this issue?
Thank you.

After updating the device, did you boot into recovery mode and select the "wipe cache partition"?

Well, basically, after applying stock updates, if factory resetting and wiping cache in recovery isn't fixing the issue, about the only other option is to flash back to your previous stock firmware.
But, your issue might be caused by some other app/apps that you have installed. To test that theory, try booting into "safe mode", if the issue does not occur while in safe mode, that means the issue is caused by something that you installed.
Or, this issue may be caused by some other setting in your device settings that needs to be changed.
Did you update via OTA or did you flash the updated firmware via PC/flashtool?

No, I updated over my carriers update roll out. No flashing or anything. Just doing things legitimately.

Try downloading that exact update version and then flash it via PC. It usually does a better job than updating directly over the air.

Hi if you have any problems try to reflash to previous version via ODIN
