[Q] Can't recieve texts after Jedi ROM installation

Hi, today after I installed the newest version of the Jedi XP-9 rom, I sent 1 text message, received a response and have since haven't been able to receive any more. I tested with my roommate and various other friends so I don't know what the problem can be. Is there any fix for this or would flashing a new rom solve this problem?

Theres a modem that you need to flash with it. It should be on the same page as where u got the rom from.

Here is the URL for the page I got it from,

in the modem section, there is no AT&T option, I think it comes with the AT&T by default
also the rom order I went in was Jedi 3.3 -> cleanrom > Jedi XP-9 and this is where my problems started

Yes its does come with the stock att modem but there is a modem that I had to flash because I had the same issue.

Actually I don't know if this fixed it. It worked last night and then this morning I had some more problems not receiving texts. I reflashed the .zip and I got about 6 at once, and then again nothing came back. I made a new APN and googled the correct AT&T APN settings and that appears to be working. I'll update this thread if it stops working again
edit: it's almost like the messages are held off, but if I open up my web browser and start navigating to pages I'll get 4-5 texts at once, when I know they were sent minutes apart

When you flashed the modem did you give it 2-3 minutes for the modem to set in.

Yes when they problem first started, I gave it 10 minutes (as it said in the Jedi thread) after I flashed the rom and rebooted.
p.s.
thanks for helping me out

Try flashing again with a full wipe. I know its a pain in the a$$ but usually it works after a couple of tries.

Full wipe, formatted system, wiped dalvik cache, installed only bare minimum apps from playstore and the problem persists.
I just got off the phone with an ATT representative and they said I should go get a new SIM card tomorrow. Do you know if they will check if I've installed a custom rom? Or tripped that yellow triangle counter? Should I look into fixing that before I go into the AT&T store?

No they wont. You just go in and they just install it for you or they may just give it to you to install. Should be easy with no worries.

System update

My Sprint SGS3 is flash with a donor to Boost Mobile and also is rooted wirh Superuser and for some reason I cant seem to be able to do a System update. Can anybody help I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff... but my understanding is that if you don't have stock rom and stock recovery, you're pretty much stuck with what you got. Tons of custom rom out there though that have all the nifty software upgrades, just take a look around XDA.

You trying to flash a factory rom update? If so it's not going to work with custom recovery. Have to have stock recovery. Also, being that it's flashed to Boost, it may not work with stock recovery either.

You mean a OTA update?

What i would suggest you do is go to the Sprint Galaxy S3 FAQ by @flastnoles11 at the top of this thread you cant miss it and look for custom recoveries FAQ and you can flash stock recovery over CWM recovery in CWM recovery if that makes sense then call the person that flashed your phone and make sure you can do system updates cause it could kick your flash trying to update it since your not on sprint.

You may want to check out THIS thread.

Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209418
But you can take the update and it will not remove your flash. However, it is failing right now because it is signed with special keys and the custom recovery cannot verify them.
Just read the thread I linked and follow the directions for updating.

Please lead me to the appropriate root method

Hello,
Sprint is my carrier.
Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710
Older phone on build JZO54k.L710VPBMD4
V 4.1.2
I see a lot of outdated root guides on the internet. Can someone please tell me which method still works. Not sure of CF Auto Root. Previous phone was HTC Evo 4g that I rooted.

i dont manually root anymore these days...
i odin.
i use this rom option and i use odin to flash.
[LINK][ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-L710 MD4 (MD4 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock)
i really like the self packed odin exe packages.

This is one of the best two ways to root. Easiest simplest and fail safe. Stay away from kits everything goes wrong, wifi and data can break..

Good morning,
I rooted with the method that edfunkycold suggested above. Like I said things have changed dramatically since my Evo 4g on the rooting/rooted front. So I am still considering myself a noob. I flashed TWRP instead of CWM as I used CWM before and TWRP sounded interesting.
Here's my issue and I have searched the internet to no avail. I want/need to do a complete nand backup before flashing anything but wimax is not listed in TWRP backup. Am I missing something? Please help.
Also, I know I can flash within TWRP from the list of compatible roms but are those the only roms available for me since I TWRP'd?
Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Wimax? You don't have a wimax phone anymore you have an LTE phone. just reboot into recovery click on backup and create a nandroid keep in mind a TWRP nandroid can not be restored with CWM or visa versa.
Do not download or flash any rom through an app first warning I will share with you. Do not flash from listed roms in TWRP. If you don't find the rom in the XDA Sprint S3 Development Section do not flash it. Or you risk owning a 600 dollar brick. Find the rom and download it from its source. At first I suggest you stick to TW stock based roms. Until your comfortable flashing and using your phone.

Much appreciated. So do you use goo manager? Sorry that's the app I was referring to..

No don't use any of those apps to download roms. Your risking it. Search XDA threads Sprint S3 Development Section only.
Do it on your computer or the xda app or Tapatalk app to find the correct threads.

Andriod version vs modem vs rom

I am still on android version 4.1.2, with a non stock modem running cwm recovery and clean rom 4.8.
My question is do I need to mess with my modem before flashing clean rom 5.0?
Do I have to worry about my Android version if I wish to flash pac man rom thats 4.3?
Sorry for being a newb!

You don't have to mess with your modem when you flash any rom.

Thanks! So if I flash clean rom 5.0 ill keep the modem I flashed? Some roms contain modems?

As Ranger stated....your rom will not be touched unless you choose to change it..
Cleanrom does not contain a modem.bin.....g

Ive been having problems with my modem which is why ive changed it. Its mainly when im connected to wifi but not always, it says I also have 4g but I cannot make/receive calls or texts.
So simplest way to change it would be to select a rom that has a built in modem?
Thanks again
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

4G is the data side of the connection. The sms and voice goes through the GPRS connection. They are not related. It sounds like a location problem or antenna problem.
Just changing the modem is easy - download and flash.
Does your sim work correctly in another phone?

Ive tried variois modems to no avail. I cannot test my sim bc I don't have another phone to test it with.
Ive decided to unroot and reset counter and return to stock so I can bring it to an at&t store. I did part of the process last night but I think I did it backwards.

If you can offer insight please follow the link. As you will read I think thats what I have to do just looking for a "yes" if I am correct.

I can't offer a link. . . when you do these things to your phone you void your warranty.
I'm sure I will get flamed for being old fashioned or called a douchebag, but everyone is warned about this.

Sprint s3 flashed to virgin mobile successful. However I need some help with roms!?

Hey. I got the phone to work on virgin mobile with 3G data. But I'm rooted running stock 4.1.2 and custom recovery. Here are my problems.
1. Battery life sucks!
2. I'm scared of losing my flash do to the 4.3 rom list.
3. I have the lG2 bandbase.
I guess I'm being a noob here. But can I flash a 4.3 rom and not lose my flash. I spent 18 hours flashing it. Dont wanna go thru this again. I had the htc evo lte flashed before and ran 20+ different roms but the more I look into flashing roms to my flashed s3 it scares me.
Thanks for any help or what should I do
