Hello I am trying to fix a Canadian Virgin Mobile?bell Mobile Galaxy S3 for a friend.
He had installed CM10.1 on it awhile back and somewhere along the line had an issue and tried to back to stock and lost his IMEI number. He did some work himself and was able to get the IMEI number re-injected. But since then the phone has been very unstable, constant apps and processes crashing, random reboots and the like. Was also experiencing issues with the only connecting to 2G/ Edge Data. I searched around and found the solution to the data connection issue.Had to rebuild the NVdata QCN.
The phone still experiencing issues with rebooting and apps crashing all the time. Does anyone have any ideas? I have downloaded stock firmware from SamMobile and tried doing forced updates from Kies. Have searched and been unable to find anything further to attempt.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry thought I had that night.
So I have an idea why the phone is having issues right now. I decided to try loading CM 10.1.2 on the phone. When I had the stock rom running it was the latest 4.1.2 which should be using the latest and greatest JB bootloader included, yet when I try to install CM I get a bootloader error and have to install a new bootloader to get it to install.
This makes me think that for some reason when I am putting stock on here it is downgrading the bootloader and that could be causing issues? Not sure if that makes sense or is even possible. If anyone has input on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have been installing CM10 nightlies without issue until I installed the 11-02 update. After that all of the apps I have on my SD card are no longer recognized. Instead I get the little green android and if I try and click on one I get a force close. I have looked through the CM10 thread but didn't see a similar issue. Cannot believe this is just me. Tried reverting back to 10-29 nightly but still have same problem. Hoping someone can offer some advice before I wipe data and start over.
Thanks.

I tried using odin again with the stock rom from the sticked thread in development and it doesnt want to go past the samsung screen even if i reboot the phone.
I want to bring the phone back into best buy to get it replaced so i was removing the custom firmware, but now i cant get it back. Is there something else i can try now?
Yup...boot into recovery and clear caches if you haven't already.

I recently flashed bigxie's ROM to update my gnex to jelly bean 4.2. Now I have noticed two big issues. For some reason I am unable to receive any file through Bluetooth though I can send without an issue and that my NFC doesn't seem to work. The NFC option itself is grayed out and Bluetooth goes into a cyclic crash as soon as trying to receive a file. Only removing the battery or switching the phone off seems to work.
Please advice as to how to proceed.

1. Wrong section.
2. Flash google's stock 4.2.1 images and see if it gets fixed. Flash em via fastboot. Get them here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

[solved] 4.2 bluetooth and NFC error
Sorry about the wrong post but just wanted to let everyone know...
Was trying to flash 4.2.1 but wasn't able to do it (a lot of problem with toolkit, phone not being detected or even the zip copy not possible). Saw an update, tried applying and to my shock wasn't able to go beyond the Google logo in the next boot up. So went ahead and re installed the bigxie j04c rom and found that it is functioning perfectly now. Bluetooth ok, NFC ok.
Don't know how, but its all good. Guess Christmas came early :good:
Hope it remains the same.... :fingers-crossed:
I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1-20130520-Nightly-d2spr
My firmware is outdate though with the "Baseband Version" showing L710PBLJ7
I've heard comments that this version of CM will allow Sprint-based updates but I don't see how and I'm not seeing anything automatic.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

It's easy, I always grab the latest one from freezas thread and flash in recovery

The one you want is the MD4 AIO (aka, all in one) firmware zip, as that's the latest
An important thing to note is that "updated firmware" doesn't necessarily mean better speeds for everyone. Most people have had a good experience with the newest firmware, but I know others who are still on ICS modems because that's what works best for them in their area and they places the frequent

I have the MD4 and it works well...got it from my wifes phone since she has the stock rom. I have used all the firmwares with the cyanogenmod and all of them worked but the MD4 is working much better but can vary so I would try them all
Can i do this with CM10 stable? my phone is terribly static, and the internet gets dropped all the time, i have to put it in to airplane mode to get it working again. want to try updating it to get it working good.

Ya you can do it on any rom really, just needs to be downloaded and boot into recovery mode with the file already downloaded before you boot into recovery mode.
