Help please, no service.

So first off, im running The Devil's Reject v6 with a cwm touch 6.0.2.3(?)
and i flashed over the intergalactic v2.5 kernel, soon after that my messages werent going through so i thought it was just the kernel that didnt wanna work with my phone, so i flashed the intergalactic 2.6 and same issues, i could connect to wifi and i have one to two signal bars but the 4g or 4g lte never came up. i then flashed the stock kernel that the TDRv6 was originally running and the issue was still the same. no service but wifi connection and signal bars. later on after some research i learned that i had lost my imei number. i was able to recover it but still the service never came back..
Please any help would be great!

Sounds dumb but verify that your imei came back and is the same as behind the battery.
Check to make sure your APN settings are set up correctly.
There has been instances where no data after restoring imei, there is a thread dedicated to it. Simple search will help you.

Yeah I did the restore imei thread and the number was good but then the service was still bad. Like it would go to G and then drop. I couldn't do anything on network. But I found this thread and it worked amazingly.

I should've looked more before just posting up a thread but I was sort of all freaked out. Lol
Well hope I at least made it easier for some one to find the thread. Thanks for your help

Do you have lte in your area? My area just got lte this weekend. And when the change was made, I did not have data service until changed back to the pta apn. I thought it may have been the rom. But it wasn't.

Yeah I have lte in my area. Ive had it for a while but it wasnt that, I had just flashed something and somehow in the process I lost my imei number which didn't allow me to do anything under the network. Idk if it was an issue with the recovery or with the zip file but I got it all worked out, thanks.

[Q] d2usc - 4G issues

Hey all, I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's going on with my phone/service. First off I hope this is the correct forum since none of them officially address the US Cellular version of the S3.
So what is happening is that my device seems to only want to connect to 3G. I am running the latest nightly for CM 10.1. It all started last week while I was in the twin cities on data roaming for a few days. On my drive back to Wisconsin I notice I would go in and out of 4G service.. by the time I hit home I was on solid 3G service. This was last Friday. I knew there was some work going on the towers in the area as my brothers 4G service started working on Sprint. I just assumed it was something to do with that.
By Sunday and still on 3G, I called tech and they did everything under the sun to try to get me back on 4G to no avail. They ended up sending me a new phone. When the new phone arrived on Tuesday I did a factory reset on the old phone just to clear everything before sending it to them and I noticed it went back on to 4G. This was on the stock ROM, rooted still.
So I switched the phone over to the new one and sure as hell, comes up in 4G. I replaced the recovery and restored a backup I had.. phone pops up.. 3G. :crying:
I did a factory reset a few times and nothing.. still would only come up in 3G mode. I then restored a backup I had for the stock ROM and what do you know.. 4G. Flashed a fresh download of the stable 4 snapshot.. 3G.. then I did a factory reset and what do you know .. 4G.. reboot the phone.. back on 3G.. Tried AOKP.. 3G..factory reset.. 3G.. Back to CM 10.1 nightly.. 3G.. factory reset.. 4G.. reboot.. 3G.
I cannot figure out what the hell is going on.. it clearly isn't hardware as it's now happened on two phones. I thought it might have had to do with being on data roaming for a few days so I waited until the data billing cycle finished (the 6th) but no luck.
I'm at wits end.. I will try anything at this point to get it working again with CM/AOKP.. doesn't matter.. just want my 4G back!

Your phone does not have 4G, It has HPSA.
On AOSP/AOKP, your connection will show up as 3G until it's being used. Let's see some speedtests.

Don't go by what it says in the ststus bar. What does it say inder Settings > About Device > Mobile Network type?
Now go start a large download, like a rom or something. While its downloading check again and post what you see.

Speeds
Thanks for the quick responses guys..
First thing was my status bar was showing 4G for about a year.. it was just recently I started having the issue. I used to get about 20Mb/sec down and now I'm getting about 800Kb-1.5Mb. It's clearly much slower than it was.
And the network type is CDMA - EvDo rev A:6

Try going under Settings, More Settings, Mobile Networks, and try a different network mode.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium

Its selected as LTE/CDMA/EvDo. The only other option is CDMA/EvDO. I think it's set correctly.

What about Network Operators? Have you tried checking or trying a different one?
Sorry, I just don't know much about the usc model.
What is the model# btw.

Not sure what you mean by network operators but the CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM (which it should be) and the System Select is on Automatic and not Home Only.
Model is SCH-R530U

Under mobile networks you can manually search for and then select an operator.
Judging by your model number, you will likely find more and better help and probably others with your phone in the Verizon forum. (Possibly Sprints, but most likely Verizon)

Thanks. I think I found the answer.. some code in CM 10.1 was causing the NV to lose it's information. A code change was put in to prevent that from happening.. I just need to go back to stock and flash back to CM.
Thanks for the help guys!

Everything I've read involves going back to stock, factory reset, and reflashing. Is there any way to resolve this without reverting to stock? Or is that the only way? - Does it need to be unrooted? And also, one thing I was curious about, I have a stock backup, would flashing that, and then reflashing to a current CM backup do anything, or does it need to be a clean flash?

I would go totally back to stock and start over. It wouldn't even take more than an hour to do everything.

Yup, if you're having problems, taking shortcuts often result in more problems and more time involved than just starting over clean.

I was having the same exact issue on CM10.1 RC5 -- called US Cellular and eliminated everything but CM causing the issue. Flashing back to an earlier version of CM, trying RC2 first.

Do you have the SCH-R530U? If so, see my quoted post below.

Verizon has their own separate forum and you can get to it from the main forum page. Go into q&a and use the search this forum searchbox.
I'll try to get the link in a bit. Bout to leave for a while though.

Went the revert to stock and reflash route. Issue is resolved. I did have to do it twice, as after the first reboot with RC5, I lost 4G again, skipped it and am running the 6-19 Nightly and have had no further issues! Thanks for your help. You guys are awesome!

ICS 4.0.4 Flashed to Verizon Prepaid; updating to JB bad idea??

I bought my phone already flashed to Verizon prepaid. It is currently on ICS 4.0.4 rooted stock build FH13. The guy who flashed it sold it to me and told me to never update it cuz it could destroy the flash. Is this true? Also, hot spot is working and i wouldn't want to lose that if i were to update. So should i just disable OTA update notifications with FOTAkill.apk and stay on 4.0.4?

When you update just change the APN for MMS. The flash should stay regardless of the ROM on the phone. Be sure to do a nandroid first. Also someone who has done a flash to another carrier can please chime in

Your correct . You are good to go. The update won't hurt your Verizon prepaid flash. Just change APN and your set. I'm able to jump around ROMs with no problem at all. Happy flashing!

DO NOT UPGRADE! If you're on PagePlus, the system WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. The place you bought it will charge you to re-flash it back to 4.0.4.

Just curious but how will flashing a new ROM in Odin or cwm make the system not recognize the phone? From what I can tell the "flash" was using the numbers from a donor phone. All the info used in the flash except the APN would all still be there after a new ROM flash. Can you not factory reset the phone after a flash to page plus as well? I would like to know what your info is. Because this is the first I have heard it.

I'm also curious about this as well. I have flashed many phones to various carriers and never had a problem with a upgrade.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Ok it looks like someone is saying it will be safe to update and someone else is saying that it is NOT safe to update. I cannot afford to lose the flash as I do not have access to a computer so I can't take the chance unless someone can absolutely positively for sure tell me that I will not lose my Verizon Prepaid flash.
If the Epic 4g Touch was made for Verizon I wouldnt be worried but being that its originally a Sprint phone I am having doubts. Isn't the OTA update designed for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch? If I do end up letting the OTA update install what version will I end up being on?

These people have done it. Maybe ask in there or pm them. I am leaning towards operator error for the person saying don't do it.

If I do the OTA update, what version will I be on? And will foxfi or SVPT work on it?
Beezie I tried following tutorials all over google on getting my mms to work, but I cant get it to work on my native/built-in messaging app... Only way I can get MMS messages is by using GO SMS PRO app. Can I screenshot you my ##DATA# settings and let me know if i need to change any anything?

Well the update depends on which brand epic touch your on. (Sprint, Virgin Mobile, Boost) it will update you too jellybean either way just your modem will be different. I have a sprint brand.
Ya it is a pain to get MMS to work threw touchwiz without a 3rd party app of some sorts. I find it pretty easy on CM builds. I normally just ditch MMS and send the pic threw gmail cuz its less of a headache. But sure you can send me a screenshot of the settings. I'm willing to help as much as I can.

Interesting. I have the same settings saved on my computer for when I had touchwiz... This is what I was saying with having to use a 3rd party app and the headaches.
Have you considered jumping over to a cm10.1 build? MMS used to be a big issue for me until I realized what a pain it can be from phone to phone to upgrade etc. I'll flash over to stock tomarow after work and let you know if I can get it working right again. Sorry I can't be of more further help.

Im actually scared to flash my rom as i dont have access to a computer if it bricks. But i might if someone were to guarantee i wont lose root or flash AND i will still have wifi tethering capability. Im gonna do some research on the cm10.1 rom. Yea id appreciate it if you could help me out tomorrow. Thanks again man. Btw, does you're phone go into airplane mode every now n then? Mine does for about ten seconds then comes back on. It'll happen like maybe five times a day. Was wondering if that's normal. If not, is it something cm10.1 could fix?

Its not normal. There was a bunch of bugs in the ROM you are on. Being on that build though because its rooted you can use mobile Odin. To get the modem you would need to flash that in cwm though.

Yup patroa is correct. ICS builds for the epic touch were horrible. (In My Opinion) I wish I could give you a 100% guarantee that nothing could go wrong but there is always a small slight chance.
No its not normal for airplane mode to pop on from time to time.
I rooted and used mobile Odin to install a cwm and flashed a cm10.1 build all without a volume down button (can't easily get into download mode or at all) I was able to do it from a ICS build. The same build you are on.

Just follow directions to the letter. Almost all if not all issues in flashing ROMs are from not following directions close enough. You are already rooted so get mobile Odin from play store or here on xda download el26 or el29 kernel from the kernel repository DL the tar file flash in mobile Odin boot into recovery make backup wipe and flash the ROM of your choosing. There is a ton of awesome ones out there

Having trouble with SMS issues please help!!!

I'm sure this question has been answered b4 and I'm sorry. So just hear me out. I've had problems over the past week with getting my phone to receive SMS and calls. I can make calls but I'm not able to receive them. I was on the phone with the sprint the other night and they were doing all these things to try and fix it. They had me do dial pad codes and my phone did not respond to those. They had me send some SMS messages to myself the text went through but didn't go back to my phone. And when I reflashed the modem and rom on Sunday afternoon I lost 3g I used to get almost 5-6 bars in my house on 3g and now I barely get 1 bar. I am on Stock Gb27 rooted stock kernel but I was on agats Gb27. I need help I would like to avoid getting a new phone. Thank you in advanced

i dont think the ics dialer idea would work...you can keep trying different modems and see what happens or tell sprint that they suck and demand an airave..they will probaly charge you for it..
As for which phone to get...there is no way for me to answer that man...But i'll tell you this. When i get my next phone it will be the water/dust resistent S4..But i dont see a new phone helping the signal..
You could change you're prl to a roaming one..there are guides here and there online..But this only works for sprint not boost..If you're on sprint..a custom prl would be my move..

Then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.Reboot. If it is still wonky..try checking you're apn settings..if they are wrong.change them and reboot.

Should I just look online to see if they're wrong.

[ROM][STOCK][CWM][ROOTED][MG2] - Galaxy S III (SPH-L710 – Boost/Virgin Mobile)

Ok guys and gals, here we go again. This is a stock, deodexed, version of the latest OTA MG2 build for Boost/VM variants of the Samsung Galaxy S III, with SuperSU and Busybox installed. Apks are also zipaligned. This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device. This was built from the Samsung Official MG2 build tar.
The reason I say for both variants is because as far as I can tell, this update is a “generic” update. What I mean is that whatever carrier you are on, it will update your phone and not change any of your carrier’s settings, ie, mmsc url, carrier banner, etc.
Thanks:
Google and XDA, for obvious reasons
Kennyglass123 - For posting guidance and all the awesome moderating he does around town
Stryke_the_Orc - For believing in me, for being a great friend and mentor, and always pushing me to do more
Garwynn – Without you showing me how to “catch” this, I would have never had the tar to build the zip from. Thanks for all your help and support.
Remotehugger – For being patient as I built this. I know you’ve been dying to test drive it!
If I have forgotten someone, please, please, let me know. I am all for giving credit where it is due.

Flashing Instructions:
This will NOT flash a modem. If you are coming from stock MD7, you will keep MD7. Same goes for whatever baseband you have right now!
1. Download zip to your sdcard
2. Reboot into CWM, TWRP, or other compatible recovery (I recommend CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch)
3. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik(might be able to flash dirty if coming from stock TW, try at your own risk)
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot
6. Profit
Issues:
Not an issue per se, since Sprint hasn't updated to MG2, but for some reason, flashing this to Sprint, even with the modem, is causing data issues. Might be an apn/mmsc issue, but I don't have Sprint, so I can't confirm. If someone with Sprint figures this out, please post it for all to know
Note:
As I said before, this will NOT install a modem. Until we get some modem zips, the only way that I have found to get the modem I want is to flash the OTA tar, to get the modem, then whatever zip rom I want(if that makes sense).

Downloading now !!!!!!! now i will stop getting those pesky push notifications that a firmware update is available - lol - thank you tons jd - so very much appreciated -

Thanks for the hard work! Is there anyway someone can post an up to date modem that i can flash. For some reason I am not getting data.

Is this jb4.1.2 still or 4.2 yet?

Update your profile. If that doesn't work there is a thread with all of the Sprint modems in the this section. I
Sprint Modem thread. This will give you the tools you'll need to flash the modem and also revert back if needed.

So what would be the advantage over L710VPBMD4?

I'm on Boost, and therefore have MD7, which is Boost and vm version of MD4. And I haven't noticed any real differences, except a few app updates. Sprint has not updated to MG2, only Boost and VM that I'm aware of. However, I have a theory I'd like a Sprint user to give me feedback on. If a Sprint user flashed this, please tell me what your dropdown banner and network(settings/about device/status)reads. Also, please verify mms works sending and receiving. Thanks! And enjoy. And look at the post above for the modem for this. I'll add it to the OP later.

Hi there - I'm on Sprint. I flashed your rom but unfortunately I can't get very far. I am not able to get data either with the MD4 modem or the MG2 modem. Rom will only work on wifi.

Hmmm, that's interesting. So even flashing my MG2 rom, you're unable to get any data? I would think that it would be the same concept as me(being on Boost), flashing a Sprint ROM...have you checked your apn and mmsc settings? They may be causing the issue. I may change the heading to just Boost/VM then, if that's the case. Thanks for the information.
Edit: Did the banner stay Sprint?

You're welcome. I'm currently at work, so I don't have any wi-fi. I should be home in about 2 hrs. I will check all settings and the banner and report back. Thanks

Shouldn't need anything at all to check that. I meant just the pulldown notification bar(should read Sprint), and in settings/about device/status, what does the network say....and I'm sure you know, but if you change your mmsc/apn settings, you'll need your MSL. Good luck, and thanks again for the info.

For those of you reading this and have a phone with the newest Boost MG2 update then you will need to call Boost to get your MSL. No way to get it with the old methods. Trust me, I've tried. LOL.
They'll give it to you easily enough. I had mine 10 seconds after telling them I wanted it.

I had to end up flashing back to LJ7 when I first got my phone, then do the six zeros in the terminal emulator trick, lol. Real pain in the butt, but got it. Thanks for passing this info on though :thumbup:

I had to have my MSL to use the Prl Write feature. You don't need your MSL to change your APNs. All I do to change mine is flash a Boost xml with the APN Backup and Restore app.
As for the LJ7 modem, I'm running it now. I've spoke with several of us Boost guys and we're all getting better reception with the older modem. So much for newer being better.

No. Thankfully I kept my backup. I just use the restoremodem.zip to restore my backup of MG2.
If I decide to switch back I'll give it a try. Going to stay with Lj7 right now since I'm getting better signal.
