[Q] 4G and GPS issue - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Went from NoWizAOSPMod to Illusion Rom, and reverted back to NoWiz due to no 4G or working GPS, however now I can't get 4G or any GPS signal on NoWiz? I did a clean flash of Illusion(Factory Reset, Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache). Any clue where I went wrong?

Try updating PRL and Profile in system settings.

did that, no luck. I restored NoWizAOSP from a TWRP backup I made when everything was working fine so I'm wondering if I have to flash back to stock using ODIN?

Try going back to the TW ROM, get a gps fix and LTE then immediately dial ##72786#. This will cause the Hands free Activation to run which will update your PRL and Profile. Verify that gps and LTE are still working then you should be able to restore your AOSP and both gps and LTE should stick after the restore. That's how it worked for me.

Prl update

I flashed a sense rom today and updated my prl. Afterwards I restored my nandroid of CM7, and now I can't get my data to work for anything.
Can updating your prl break data? I was coming from a Verizon prl if that matters.

Hmm, I would tend to think that updating your PRL wouldn't break your data, however I'm not familiar with the verizon prl hack, so I'm not sure if the procedures of updating PRL differ from normal. Did data work on the sense rom, after you updated the PRL, before you nand restored to CM? I'd hop back onto a sense rom, update profile and prl again, then see if data works while on that rom. Then try nand restoring back to CM again, and see what happens.
It worked on the sense rom. I just tried flashing back, updating again, and restoring my nandroid...same thing. I called sprint and had them update my services but that didn't fix it either. I thought the problem might have been with my flash so I wiped everything twice and flashed CM7 again. No go.
I'm perplexed.

Go into your Mobile Network data settings, and make sure all the roaming options are enabled, and that data is enabled.
Also, FWIW, format /system, /data, and /cache (Amon_RA 2.3 and ClockworkMod 3.x both have these options), then flash CM7 Nightly 19, followed by the 20110307 GApps. See if you get the same problem.

[Q] Force Close during PRL Update....

This morning i made the mistake of checking for a PRL update out of Swags-Stock RC1 Rom. I was planning on switching to CM7 and wanted to check the radios just to be sure they were the latest *DUMB*. During the update check i got a force close error. I did not write down what crashed but ever since this force close, i can no longer access the 3g data on any of my nandroid backups. I've restored my stock nandroid and tried to update PRL info out of there and i also tried to push on the latest radio updates. Everything seems to go ok but still no data.... Any thoughts? The 3g symbol is displayed, wi-fi works and i can make phone calls still.
Fixed: I had to try several times, but eventually fixed the issue by one again nandroiding my stock rom backup, rebooting, updating PRL firmware through the stock rom. Back to normal after that
What if you didn't make a stock rom nan? How do you fix?

Go to the dev section, and there are a few threads of just stock rooted roms. Download the firmware to match your bootloader.

[Q] Spring Samsung Galaxy S 3 - Beanstalk 4.3?

This is my favorite ROM so far - BeanStalk - but I cannot get access to the latest build
I am looking for the BeanStalk 4.3 ROM for my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 3. I see it for the S 4 but not the 3. Can someone direct me to the download page?

Sounds like you didn't wipe properly, or possibly your APN's got erased if no mobile connection.

wiped and checked it twice
I did a cache and a d-wipe. I then re downloaded both gapps and Rom. Restored back to 4.2 and tried again to no avail. Are we sure the download url is corrected?

That's not a clean install and your laying one rom on top of another. You need to wipe cache and dalvik and do factory reset. Factory reset will wipe date from previous rom installed.
Especially needed when going from one type of system 4.2 to another type of system 4.3

Will try again
Before I restored I did a factory reset and than tried again. But I will do it as you say. Wipe cache, wipe davlik and factory reset. Than install 4.3 and then gapps 08132013. An I correct?

Ok good and everything works? Then stay there there are lots of issues till with 4.3 connection and signal being the biggest ones. Wait until they make those Kangs more stable.
Just curious did you flash the repair for data and root that they have in the thread?
EDIT:
OK also since you asked TW roms are based on stock Md4, these are roms built on actual source and released roms. They are extremely stable and for the most part everything works as Samsung intended it to.
You are using an Aosp rom built from CM source which in its own right is a Kang. A Kang is a copy that has been modded to work for a specific phone but the original came from some there source or device. There is no such thing as aosp, 4.2 or 4.3 for the S3 thus all these 4.2 and 4.3 roms are put together from other devices. That's why many of them have connectivity issues. Also why you can't update prl and profile or use sprint diagnostics tools with them.

Using APN backup and restore. But in any case using the correct download did the job. I was using the original one.

Stuck in Voice Roaming

So I was jumping from Viper to MMuzzy's Carbon build and all of a sudden I am now Voice Roaming. I know I wiped all partitions including formatting the system and I've flashed a multitude of roms and never had this occur before.
I could use some advice on how to repair this. My IMEI has a specific number but my IMEI SV and phone number both show all zeros. I tried doing an RUU and even taking an OTA but still no luck.
Flash stock rooted ROM and stock recovery.
While on stock ROM and recovery, perform a factory reset from settings.
Backup anything important first.
Its the factory reset from stock recovery that will restore the Vzw NV partitions for the radio to function properly again.

No problem, glad to help.
Yeah this is always the best thing to perform if you are having data drop issues, going to 3G often when you know you should have 4G, stuck in roaming with no data, etc..
It doesn't fix any ROM related issues or problems with a Roms ril, etc but it will restore the device to fully functional radios.
Then when you flash back to a known working ROM, you should continue to keep a stable connection, unless as mentioned above, the ROM has its own issues.
Anyhow, glad that sorted you out.

No radio after installing CM11 M5

Hi,
After upgrading to CM11 M5 my 3G doesn't work anymore. This used to work fine with M4. I have restored stock and then gone back to CM11 but still no sucess. Restoring EFS with FreeGee didn't work either.
I have restored M4 and 3G works again.
Does anybody have the same problem? Should I post at the CM forum?
I have the same issue, although I do get LTE, just no xG. Haven't gotten it resolved yet as I was dumb and didn't backup my M4 before flashing.

Had the same issue. Simply toggled the mobile data enabled and changed late to 3g then back to lte. That fixed it for me

I have tried to toggle on/off, different settings, reboot, restore EFS, but no success.
I guess I'll wait for M6 and see if it works then.
Yes, LTE & WiFi are functioning for me, but no 3G.
In the past when similar things have happened (data or gps issues); I've had to make a backup in recovery, install a stock rom, update PRL, then restore CM backup. This will usually fix the data issues.

Using stock was the way I got 3G and GPS to work in the past. LTE works great on stock but I have never seen it work on CM.
LTE has worked for me on CM11 since M4 at least. M4 ran flawless for me, but I did a clean install of it because I'd been on a nightly before that.
