Hello all, I am new here to the Galaxy S3 and I am having an issue with the data package not turning on. I bought this phone used and I have come to the realization that 4g is not turning on at all even after restarting it. The Baseband is I747UCLG1 and I am not sure if this phone was rooted or unlocked (not even sure if that would cause this problem). When I checked under status (settings - about - Status) under mobile network state it says disconnected. After doing some searching on here I was thinking of putting the stock rom through ODIN on the phone to see if that would help, but I wanted to check if there might be something I should do or check before doing that.
Thanks in advance

Are you getting any data signal at all? What is your carrier? What is indicated under Service state under status? In service is what you are looking for... If it`s anything else, then i would suggest calling your service provider to inquire. If In Service is what you do have, then hit Settings-More-Mobile networks and check data enabled. Still under mobile networks settings, hit Network Mode and select LTE/WCDMA or LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Regardless of which one you choose, if you are located in an LTE enabled area, you should be able to get the signal.
Also, if you have access to WIFI, one easy way to check if you are rooted is downloading root checker through the app store.
Before doing anything with ODIN, my advice would be to read extensively... you wouldnt want a recently purchased paper weight on your hands.

I am not getting any signal at all, the 4g Signal icon is not even appearing. My carrier is AT&T and it does state "In Service". When I go to hit Network Mode it just says Default setup, but it is not select-able. With root Checker it does say I am rooted with SuperSu and also when I went to update the phone; the phone restarted and came to Team Win Recovery Project. Is there anything I can do to allow me to select the LTE/WCDMA or LTE/GSM/WCDMA?

It will not as it will not touch anything to do with root, super user, or busybox.
If it doesn't do anything I woudl suggest getting the pre-rooted ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
and flash it according to the step in the OP. If you bought it second-hand it hard to know what the person before you did or left on the phone. It will create a clean base. If you don't get a signal then...it could be the sim.
Have you tried adding the correct APN for your carrier ?

I have recently bought a HTC Desire HD phone from Softbank in Japan. I have rooted the device successfully and installed Cyanogen 7 Nightly ROM and everything was working fine, However the battery was draining crazily. I found from one of the threads that to fix the problem i need to update the radio. Hence, I updated the radio to 26.04.02.17_M2 as suggested by many people.
Ever since, I am not getting my 3g signal at all, however I can make phone calls and connect to wifi.
I tried installing a different ROM Leedroid 1.5.1 and same problem persists.
Current config
baseband : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Android : 2.2.1
Build: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys
Million thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction on how to sort this issue.
Help please
I have found that the problem is connecting to softbank APN. Any help??
SoftBank APN (001HT)
Do a search in yahoo.co.jp.

Softbank restricts MMS applications using a custom User Agent string. This is probably why it's not working but I'm not sure if someone has created a customized MMS APK for your ROM.
I think I know what the problem is, but to really help, I need to know which country you are currently resident in.

The easiest way to use MMS with SoftBank is by using the SoftBank mail app.
Go here and click on the SoftBank MMS section for info.
This thread is back in February.
When you change rom you need to make sure that you are using the correct APN (Access Point Name) which came with your phone (in the original rom).
The APN is basically the address and password which is used to access your carrier's data/internet access.
You can use a program like APN Backup & Restore which saves your APN info in an .xml file which you can easily restore when you flash a new rom.
Some roms have many APN's listed for you to choose but your's might not be listed or included, plus if you choose the wrong one it can cost you a LOT of money in wrong data fees. (I made this mistake a few years ago with a SoftBank Windows Mobile phone which cost me $1000 equivalent in Japan.)
So get the program above and save your original APN which you are using. (whichever is checked if you have a few listed.)
Then when you flash a new rom - immediately disable Mobile Network (in settings) and install APN Backup & Restore and then delete the new rom's APNs and restore your APN. Then make sure it's checked, switch on Mobile Network and you should be OK. (I reboot and then check it's still checked afterwards). Like I said, if you use the wrong APN, you can get crazy billing fees - regardless of whether your original contract is unlimited packets or not.
I hope this helps.
I have the blue/gray'ish i747 from AT&T. My issue is pretty much what the title states.
I used the guide off galaxys3root.com to root and install CWM, I have attempted using the CWM that you wind up with by following those instructions, flashed an updated CWM, flashed CWM touch, and today installed TWRP.
I've tried CM9 and 10 dailies, kyanROM 1.1 and up, kangs (couple different releases), and pretty much every other ROM I've found on these forums that had a decent thread and regular updates. For all of them I've tried full-wipe, restored the system to stock (as in used Odin to flash the original firmware and kernel and started over), simple flash over my current working (stock but heavily stripped via root uninstaller) ROM, read every post in the forum thread and double/triple-checked the instructions before I even downloaded the files...
I can flash kernels all day long without isses, my personal favorite is kt747, every release has worked on this phone and they keep getting better.
Each time the result is the same: Everything fires right up. CM10 exhibited none of the issues reported in the development thread and is gorgeous... But my phone will not leave HSPA mode for 4g/LTE. Coming from stock, my phone shows 4g, and 4-5 bars; after flashing ANY custom ROM, all I get is an H with a "eh.." signal.
My wife, who will let me change nothing on her phone, so its bone stock, has the same model (in white) on the same account. After flashing any ROM I've found that I wanted to try; I can have mine sitting right next to hers and see that hers is on 4g with a huge signal while mine is on HSPA with half the signal. I've also verified that it isn't just an issue with the indicators by running speedtest.net on both phones. Hers consistently clocks in at significantly higher download rates (2x or better) and slightly higher upload rates.
I'm pretty much at a loss here, I've flashed a few different ROMs to my old HTC Merge and a Motorola Electrify and while there was some variance in average signal strength I never had a problem like this (of course they're both 3g phones, so its not really comparable). So I'm not even really certain what information I could provide that might assist in troubleshooting.
Anyone have any ideas on where I can start looking or what I can do about this? Pleasse save me from the touchwiz! Barring the 4g issue, I loved cm10 so much I used it for two days and just tried to get over the loss of 4g. Its so much faster and cleaner and more feature-laden, that it was hard to go back.

I get "connection problem or invalid mmi code" on the stock Rom gimme a few to backup and flash something else and I'll report back.
Edit:
Same error message in current cm10 daily
So what do I do about that? I'm assuming that's not a desired result?
You obviously did not read about the imei problem. next time you should read. You you need to receive your imei number back you can find how to in the development thread

Scratch that, did some googling for that error code. apparently it works if I put in *#06# instead of *06#
So, since I hadn't t restored my backup yet, I ran it on the CM10 daily and it came back with a code. do you need the code (not sure if IMEI is one of those "don't post it in public places" things or not.
*Just restored the backup-the code is different on stock. It is the same 15-digit numerical sequence but also has " / 02" (minus the quotes) appended to it.
So, clearly there's a difference, is there a way to edit/change/fix it in the custom roms?
is your imei missing, or saying unavailable.... just post the first 5 digits if its there...

Shows up identical on both stock and custom ROMs, but on stock there is the / 02 at the end.
So I'm assuming, if its IMEI, its a syntax issue.
Gonne go check out Andrew's link and see if that fixes it too.
Thanks for the resource.

Been reading up on it and it looks like it may be the version number, in the CM10 menus I found IMEI and directly underneath it was V 02, so I'm thinking its just the way the ROM handles the version or something. just weird to me that it comes back with that syntax on one Rom but not the other.
I actually went through galaxys3root.com, verified my apn settings there, made sure they were set up appropriately and that it was selected. In both stock and custom configurations it shows up as AT&T PTA, and was selected in both.
Just to be absolutely sure, yesterday I deleted all of the APNs and (using my wife's gs3) recreated an exact copy of the apn on her phone. So it had no choice but to be on the right one.

Wow dude, you really aren't listening... your IMEI is fine... the 02 is specific to LEM modem, the 05 for LG1 modem, and I believe 07 for LH1 modem (someone correct me on that one).... you've just narrowed it down to an issue with APN... CM10 has the ability to select the ATT LTE apn... have you tried that?

That's all correct... I was hoping you wouldn't have to mess with your NV items, that's why I beating down the APN so hard.... Trying to keep it simple... Your IMEI is intact by looking at the 5 digits you posted, and the 02 really does have no effect....
Even though you already done so for all the people who have asked, go ahead and write down your IMEI reported by the phone and make sure it matches the sticker or the box.... Your modem seems to be UCLEM... You could try flashing UCLG1 which will put you on IMEI service 05, heres the modem thread...
but you may need to end up following this post...
also, a flash back to stock is always a troubleshooting option, just to see...

kk, thanks for the help. For clarification, is the modem the "Baseband Version" in the menus? That shows I747UCLEM. I'll go through and the read the threads you referenced and report back on the results.
Thanks again man!
Sorry, forgot to mention-yes, the IMEI does match the sticker.
Flashing back the stock ROM has worked every time. I've done that one a few time just to try to eliminate variables.
I helped a buddy of mine flash his phone and root it but he claims that 4G is gone after flashing.
He is with fido, I don't know if it's the same as rogers.
I use odin to flash his phone with CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5
And then use TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip for recovery
Maybe these files are not compatible with fido?
Have him check his IMEI in Settings, About Device, Status and see if it is a string of numbers or zeroes. If zeroes, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
Have you tried creating a new APN? Some ROM might not include the correct APN setting. I am linking an external link (safe), which I cannot confirm the validity: LINK
I can confirm the wap.cingular works for me, but according to that link, I am not getting the H+ or LTE. But I really don't want to risk having my data plan changed (I still have the unlimited $10 plan from a long time ago).
Hope this helps.

the radio is the same as a modem... think of it as interchangeable ( you can flash different radios) for the most part. however some roms need a certain radio to work at all.
if your phone is similar to mine (t989) you need uvmc6 radio
"i have SGS2 from t-mobile my phone is sim free" what does this mean you have no sim card and it still works or it is unlocked and you do have a sim?
is it rooted? and what rom are you running on your device? be back later to check see. do look at the radios here try the newest uvmc6 modem/ radio otherwise flash stock through odin and that should put the phone back to its original state... be certain you are using t989 software to flash or the outcome will be no good

Check out your APN's and make sure you have those set up correctly. Your carrier might not offer anything other than edge though, so it might not be anything wrong with your phone, just your provider..

the only thing i can think of at this point is maybe if you had a international s2 it would work i was reading on google after doing some heavy research for you that a few others reported the s2 was not working over there only with 2g but when they tried another phone they had 4g so you might want to try another phone if you can get your hands on a international s2 and not t989 you might be better off but honestly partner im out of ides i wish i could sorry

Flashed my phone to CM10.1, lost my IMEI, would not connect to network. Managed to get my IMEI back, but would not connect to network. I attempted to go back to stock- and am running a stock ROM- but still cannot connect to network.
I have an i747m.
Carrier is Bell (I'm in Atlantic Canada)
Android Version: 4.1.1 (ROM: I747MVLDLK4)
Baseband: I747MUMLL1
Kernel is dated Nov 20/2012
Build is JRO03L.I747MVLDLK4
When I plug into Kies, it tells me "Your device's current firmware is not supported to update firmware via Kies."
Kies tells me "Current firmware version : PDA:LK4 / PHONE:LL1 / CSC:LK4 (XXX)"
When I try to do a Firmware upgrade and initialization, it tells me "SGH-I747M does not support initializing.
I'm at a complete loss- and really need help.
Thanks!
Have you tried Odin flashing the latest stock for your phone? You'll have to manually reboot into recovery and do a factory reset when it boot loops

Yes. I already have flashed to the latest stock firmware.
on Lockscreen, do you see the "Phone not allowed mm#6" message? it only shows on stock roms
not sure if it's mm#6 or mm#4 but yeah do you see the "phone not allowed"?

I do not. My lockscreen says "Emergency Calls only". Anothing couple things worth noting;
Replaced my SIM card with a new one, and activated at Bell kiosk.
Phone shows I have a signal
When I try and make a phone call, I get message "Not registered on network"
Thanks

Another update.
I have managed to get a keys firmware upgrade to work. It indeed restored me to the stock Bell rom, I now have the Bell branding, which I didn't have before.
Phone states are now;
Version: 4.1.1
Baseband: I747MVLDLK4
Mobile network type: UMTS:3 (is this right?)
Service state: In Service (this wasn't the case before)
Mobile network state: Connecting
Device Status: Normal
So, it never seems to connect to network.
So then I swap to Mobile Networks
Network Mode: LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto)
APN: pda.bell.ca
MMSC: h t t p://mms.bell. ca/mms/wa penc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type: Internet + mms
Authentication Type: none
Any ideas where I should go to from here?
Thanks!
Bump? Any ideas?

NV Data got corrupted when you lost your IMEI. How did you inject your IMEI back onto your phone? In order to get data back you will need to restore NV Data back onto your phone. This will reload the correct data that is needed to get your phone back onto Bell networks.

Thanks for the response.
A close friend of mine did the injecting for me. So I'm not 100% sure on how he did it. Is there a method to properly restore the NV Data? I don't have a good backup, and my searches have been less than stellar.
Thanks!

By the way, not sure if it is relevant- but my ERI Version is "Not Available"

Spoke with my friend.
IMEI was restored using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Ended up taking the phone into Bell. They are going to try and see if they can get the problem covered under warranty.
Samsung would not fix it because I have a small crack in the case from when it was dropped the day after I bought it. They said I voided the warranty and wanted $400 to repair it.
Took it to a local repair place, they had it for two weeks- said they cannot fix it via software. They need to replace the board.$120.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I dump money into it?
Settings>more settings>mobile services>access point names. is any of the circles filled? I had a similar problem.

samsung has no right to void your warranty because there's a crack phones are always going to drop. plus the issue that you are having has nothing to do with the crack.
I better not get turned down of my warranty(s) just because a crack, scratch, ect. or I will sick my lawyers on them plus bring in the media.
MESSAGE FOR SAMSH1T:
if you void warrantys due to cracks
then maybe stop making the damn phones out of cheap plastic caseing. 5-600.00 phone when droped should not crack at all. you $h17 heads.
sorry for bringing this post back to life. just had to say what I had to say.
I've been having a similar issue as the original poster
I was running CM10.2 on Rogers perfectly fine until yesterday when suddenly the device stopped connecting to Rogers network. I made sure the Access Point names and stuff were fine, I rebooted. I then thought it might be an issue with CM and I flashed to latest Nightly, that didn't work so I tried restoring to a different ROM (Task650), wiped dalvik/cache. That didnt work, so tonight I did a full factory reset and used Odin to restore to the latest STOCK Rogers MD5.
And.......STILL won't connect to the network.
Any ideas. I'm out of warranty and rooted, so I'm sure Samsung won't do **** if this is a hardware issue. I'm not sure if its an IMEI issue as the original poster thought. I even changed SIM cards today with my carrier. Nada
Help please please please, thanks

I had an almost identical experience with my S3, except im i747 on AT&T. Rooted phone randomly started acting up, then nothing. No mobile connection at all.
It's been about four days of constant searching and still nothing. To make matters worse im also stuck on 4.3 because I stupidly updated after returning to stock
I flashed a modem and occasionally ( by occasionally i mean 1 hour out of every day) I'll randomly get 4g/mobile service but no phone calls and be able to use my phone. Not entirely sure if the modem flash really did anything
I had the same problem when I updated to stock 4.3 I didn't have data but could text and call, I also for some reason couldn't go through the APN settings because it thought I didn't have a SIM in but I flashed a modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47817339&postcount=23 for d2att only! After I flashed and reboot viola! Data working perfectly. Maybe you can find a updated modem for the T-Mobile variant and that should do the job
