I was running pa 2.52 for a long while and decided to try something new so I swapped to the new aokp 4.2.2 rom. I odined back to stock and went through the entire process fresh. My phone ran fine all night and this morning I decided to start customizing the phone. I made the mistake of opening up cdma data roaming settings and selecting domestic roaming. Now I am back in the problem a lot of old roms had where you could not roam. The domestic roaming setting is not sticking. I used to be able to fix this problem by disabling roaming guard in a multibook of fc09. Tried that and no go. I have tried factory resetting and flashing slim bean as well and still no roaming. Any help would be great.

If you aren't partial to your current setup, you could just Odin again and check the setting after that.
Words of wisdom for the future: backup before tweaking your setup.

Are you using the Epic modem or the NS4G modem? If you're using the NS4G modem, it's as simple as swapping the Settings.apk and Phone.apk on your phone with the ones from the NS4G build of PA.

Thanks to you both. I was originally running an NS4G modem, but odined back the original epic modem before the first flash to the new aokp. I did odin back to stock last night and created a cwm backup after I had all of my apps back...... After that I tried to repeat the issue and the exact same thing happened. Just opening up the CDMA setting kills my roaming. I downloaded Roam Control and was able to force roam, but I went ahead and flashed my backup and I am going to steer clear of the CDMA setting.

So my phone was @ EL29. I decided that when I was updating from CM9-alpha3 to CM9-alpha4 that I'd also go ahead and update my modem. I updated CM9, and it rebooted fine and was still working.
Went back and Odin'd the FE16 modem, and it rebooted. Once it booted up, I got a 'Activate your phone' page stating "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate'... " but this doesn't work (The number or code you dialed is incorrect.)
From what I can tell, this is because ICS doesn't support the ## dialer codes? I did some searching, but couldn't come up with much. I found this post in the modem thread, which links to a "multiboot" ROM for the Epic 4G (not the Touch) that boots a stock ROM off the SD Card and doesn't affect the current running ROM, which lets you do things like Update PRL / Update Profile / etc.
Is there anything like that for the E4GT? Or am I going to have to wipe, go back to GB, re-activate/update profile/update prl on stock, wipe again and go back to CM9?
Another option is to program your phone through QPST, but you might find that to be just as troublesome as flashing back to stock.
A quick search pointed me to this thread for QPST. Doesn't seem too terribly difficult (except that I'm on a Linux box, might have to do some fun VirtualBox emulation to get it working on a Windows VM).
Technically I lied when I said I flashed the stuff using Odin... actually used heimdall, but it does the same thing.
What's funny is my data is working 3G/4G with no problem. If I try to place a call, it immediately hangs up. Trying ##72786# gives a recording that "Your phone is not yet activated. To activate, press end and call customer service"
Service is through ting (who uses Sprint's network)

i actually had something like this happen about a week or two ago. I used heimdall on my mac to flash a new modem while on an AOSP rom, and was told I had to activate the phone. I couldn't figure out anything to do except restore a TW backup and activate then restore back to my current AOSP setup. I never experienced having a modem flash de-activate the phone, but this was the only time i ever used heimdall, usually use Odin on windows.
Odin back to a stock ROM using a one click, Odin a stock modem of your choice and check clear phone efs, and boot up and allow it to reactivate.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
First I tried extracting the packages from the OdinOneClick to use heimdall to flash it back to stock. Ended up in a bootloop on the Spring 4G screen. Brought up a Win7 box and used the oneclick on Windows to get back to stock. Reactivated, reflashed the FE16 modem. Now back to CM9 I go.. oh well, all fixed
Thanks ya'll

Good going JLM!
Btw Revamper, I think any of the one-click flashes both the stock modem and kernel along with the rom so you don't necessarily have to flash a modem right away.
Edit: Also, what's the 'clear phone efs'?

It does but you can't clear phone EFS. that clears all sprint data and forces your phone to activate again.

Did you do a full restore or a data preserve?
Edit; if you did a data preserve, your phone will act funny when coming from a ROM. You should do a FE16 full restore if you haven't already, it will reset all your phone settings to factory, but it's the best option when coming from a ROM.

If you're worried about modem speed, FE16 to me is the best modem since FC18.
Issue Summery:
Data signal cycles through HSPAP/3g/HSPA and download speeds are dead slow.
DEVICE:
Phone: 16gb White Samsung GS3 t999 T-Mobile
Carrier: Unlocked and running on H2O (att subsidiarity)
Root status: Rooted
Recovery: CWM 5.5.0.4
ROM: FreeGS3 R3
Explanation and attempts to FIX:
I had been running the phone on the FreeGS3 rom for about a week with with amazing speeds on H2O (aprox 6.5mb down 1.5mb up).
I saw that CM9 was finally getting stable so I wanted to flash it. Here is what happened...
Made a nandroid backup, factory wiped, wiped dalvik cache, flashed rom.
The rom failed to flash due to an updater-script error (publicly known issue) so I restored from nandroid, fixed updater script and started the process over again.
Booted with CM9 and all was well until I noticed that data was very very slow (about 0.2mb down).
So, I tried changing all settings (*#*#4636#*#* / GSM auto PRL etc etc) I even modified build.prop for optimized data. No luck.
I restored back from my nandroid and still had the same issue. I thought it may have been a carrier issue so I waited and test at work on different towers but the issue was still there. I put my sim in an infuse 4g and changed the apns real quick to make sure it was my phone and sure enough, full HSPA+ right off the bat.
I then flashed the latest factory Odin md5 pack and tested, same speeds.
I can see the phone cycling through different data strengths but it will not stick.
BLAH:
What do you guys think?
Also, In case you were wondering, my IMEI is NOT corrupt or wiped.
I think that my modem is the issue.
Will someone WITH A T-MOBILE GS3 ONLY run these commands and upload the modem.bin for me please?
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/modem.bin
exit
adb pull /sdcard/modem.bin modem.bin
Ok I pulled the modem from Odin package an manually pushed it. Also did a Odin nand wipe then a full reflash.
Nothing is fixing this....... :banghead:
Has anyone else seen this? Can I get someone besides me to make a decent post here or what?
Flash modem
Modem flashing can be tricky.
Do it several times, each time clean cache and reboot.
Also try at&t modem - worst case you won't have Mobile.
H20 won't let you receive pic messages if you have a ics phone correct? My data cycles when I change my apns on my phone.

Flashing ATT modem results in no cellular reception at all.
Wiping cache and flashing tmo modem multiple times restores reception but I still have the same issue. This makes me believe that the modem is not the issue after all.
What else could it be, seems like I've exhausted almost all of my options.

A single data cycle is 100% normal if you change your apn.
You can absolutely achieve MMS on h2o running ICS. You have to manually set your apns. I have experimented with settings for awhile and have the best ones that work on pretty much all h2o/ICS. (I run a cell phone shop and set up phones all day).
I can post them somewhere if you guys need them.
Ok, I said screw it and zeroed my modem out. Obviously it will not boot without modem so im flashing odin now. Im doing crazy **** people, make some sane recommendations.

I just got my S3 on Wednesday and didn't waste any time rooting it and flashing CyanogenMod 10. I like everything so far, but i'm having trouble getting 3G, or any mobile data.
It was working fine stock, and even after rooting, but after flashing CM10 I have no luck with it.
I go to school where i'm always roaming, but it's included in my plan. In my Mobile Data settings i've got it set to connect to mobile data even when i'm roaming, but I am never able to get it to actually work, whereas on my old Evo 4G running CM7, I had no problems with 3G service.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have too few posts to post in the development board, so it said to post here.
Thanks for any help!

I tried that and had no luck. I decided to just go ahead and load up the last stable build of CM10, M2. I did that and I wasn't getting any service at all, so I flashed back to my nightly build 20121107, just to find out I was no longer getting any service on that either.
I decided to restore my original TouchWiz backup file, and now i'm not even getting service on that.
The Baseband and Build in the About Phone menu both include LJ7 in there, so I don't know where the hell my problem could be. If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it. My GS3 is practically useless at the moment. I've also heard my IMEI may have been reset to all zeroes, but i've checked that and it's displaying normally.
Try updating your profile. Had a simular issue on my Epic 4g, couldn't get 3g to work even on stock, but after updating profile it worked.

you have to flash back to a TouchWiz ROM
Went to settings & set wireless network to cdma only not lte. (Presuming you live in a Non lte area) that was my fix as well. And I also checked all roaming options as well. Ive been running cm10/aokp/TW roms without data loss. Try a fresh reflash after wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.

I was on CM10.1 and I wiped data/cache and installed CM10. I was in a roaming area at the time and when my phone booted my phone told me that it needed to be activated? It would not work since there was no data. So I Odin'd the latest stock ROM and activated it when I got home however it is stuck on verizon for some unknown reason. The PRL is 0 and I tried manually putting a sprint PRL on the phone using DFS, but it never sticks. Can someone help me please?

Someone mentioned that putting it in airplane mode and then turning off airplane mode helped them get off verizon, however this was only when they had used a PRL that gave them verizon roaming so it may/may not work for you
Were you using a PRL that gave you verizon roaming while in that "roaming area" you mentioned?
If you are still on TouchWiz dial ##72786# and see if that fixes the problem.
Check the PRL thread in development, flash the sprint one using a TW based ROM.

I decided to give Kit Kat another try a few days ago, but since then I have not been able to connect to LTE.
Prior to flashing I was running CM10.2 and my LTE was working fine. I initially lost LTE when I flashed PACMAN. I have also tried AOSB/ProBAM and Beanstalk. None of the Kit Kat roms gave me LTE so I gave up and restored CM10.2, but afterward I was still not getting any LTE connection.
I tried flashing the MD4 modem, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I've also heard that going back to stock could help, but I'd rather not have Knox if I don't have to use it. Which stock ROM here on XDA would be the best (Not planning on using the ROM. I just want LTE and then will flash back to Kit Kat)? Would a different modem fix my LTE issues? Is MK3 better than MD4, or are there any newer modems I should try?
Thanks for the help!

Any of the ROMS that have [TW] in the title should work. Full Knox only comes with flashing a tar file in ODIN, because your flashing every partition of the phone. Modified stock ROM zips do not have knox, unless otherwise noted. Make sure to do a prl and profile update when you flash to stock.

Flashed Wicked Sensations last night with the MK3 modem and I seemed to be getting LTE as soon as that booted. Updated my PRL and Profile, and then wiped. Installed AOSB again, and I seemed to be getting LTE until I rebooted. After the first reboot I seem to be stuck in 3G again.
Im currently running AOSB on 2 devices. When I first flashed them, I had the same issue until I rebooted the phone. After that I never had this issue again.

I think that's the opposite of what happened to me. My status bar said I had LTE when I first booted AOSB (this was after flashing/wiping TW). After the first reboot it connected to 3G and I haven't seen the LTE signal since.
I have updated the APNs, but I was using the same APNs for a while and had LTE on CM10.2 with them.

KitKat roms are currently having data issues. You could try backing up your current KK rom and go back to Stock, update prl and backup your DNS settings then go back to your backed up KK rom and restore from the dns settings you backed up.

ohhh i had this issue but i figured it out for pacman and most roms just download nova launcher and when you do create a shortcut on nova ad click on setting an it should say apn once there u open it and youll see where it says ehprd something like that click on it and go all the way to the bottom and change where it says bearer to ehrpd and lte should work ^_^
Ok so I finally got it working, although I'm not sure what was wrong with everything in the first place. My buddy said Cyanogenmod screwed up a recent ROM, so maybe that code was in one of the ROMs I was using.
Each time I flashed back to TouchWiz (I ended up using Wicked Sensations) I could get 4G/LTE. I ran a **72786*, did a PRL & profile update. Prior to finding a working ROM, when I went back to BeanStalk/PACMAN I would lose LTE. After I found the updated BeanStalk ROM I flashed and it still had LTE! Happy days!
At this point I was able to send MMS somehow, but phone was having problems being recognized by the network. I could connect to LTE but couldn't use the data. After I updated the APNs everything started working again.
