So I had to get a replacement Note 2 from T-mobile because my first one had messed up sensors or something. When I got the new one I wanted to backup and restore all my apps from the original.I used Odin to flash CF auto root and do a app and system backup. Then I rooted to the new one the same way and did a restore. I apparently didn't read enough about Titanium backup and restored everything including the system stuff.
Now my data doesn't work most of the time. Specifically when my phone says 4g, no matter how many bars, nothing has network access. I can make and receive calls and text messages although calls have been very spotty with reception. However if I have 4g LTE signal then everything works great. Can anyone suggest a fix? I flashed the stock rom again and reset APN settings to default, nothing is different. Side note, I was able to reset flash, unroot and return the old phone to T-mobile. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update:
I noticed that I can get text messages when mobile data is turned off. Not sure if that means anything.
Do factory reset and wipe data. May be solve you problem.
May sure you have flashed stock rom with same phone model.

I did that and it is still the same. Someone has to have seen this issue before. I can't be the only one who has messed up with titanium backup.

Hi All,
I got my Note 2 today, and have run into a problem already
Mobile data (HSPA+) was working when I first got the phone and used it between the shop and the way home.
When I got home, I switched over to wifi to download things.
I then flashed CWM from the cwm-root-note2.tar.md5 file in Dr Ketan's guide using PC Odin.
Then, I flashed Omega v3 via CWM.
All went without a problem.
I was still on wifi and downloading and installing all of my apps.
After a while I turned off wifi and I noticed that I wasn't getting any mobile data connection. I was getting 3 or 4 bars of mobile signal, but no 3G, H or H+ symbol to indicate mobile data.
I messaged a nearby friend on the same carrier and he said his was working fine. So, I figured I must have messed up the mobile network settings,
I checked the APN settings and they were blank, so I put them back in manually.
Still no data connection,
I went into CWM and wiped cache, dalvik and user data.
Still no good.
I downloaded the stock XXALJ1 ROM for Thailand (where I am) and flashed that, did another 3 wipes, but still no luck.
I tried doing a factory reset from the settings menu. But still no joy.
I put the SIM card into my Note 1 and it got a H+ straight away and data was working fine.(when the shop cut it down, they made a nice neat job of it, so the excess makes a decent micro sim holder). So, the network and SIM card are OK.
I noticed that when I first got the phone, the boot screen said "N7100" under "Galaxy Note II".
Now, it doesn't. I'm not sure when it changed.
I also noticed that when I do the under/factory resets, there are still some settings that aren't reset, For example, I set it to WCDMA only to see if that helped and then when I did a factory reset, it was still set like that, rather than the default "auto" that it originally comes with.
Unfortunately I didn't do a nandroid backup, as my phone came with XXALIH (without the multiscreen), so I figured I'd updated to LJ1 first.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do?
Is there a full wipe ROM, or a way to reflash the bootloader and ROM?
It's 3am now, so I need to go to sleep, but this is annoying the hell out of me.
Thanks,
Rich
Carrier please?

True Move H in Thailand.
I don't think it's a carrier issue, as I can put the SIM into my Note 1 and get H or H+ data connection straight away.
Also, I compared the APN settings and I have the exact same settings in the Note 2 and Note 1.
Mobile data was working on the Note 2 when I first got it.
Thanks,
Rich
Turn mobile data on in settings/data usage.
I doubt that his data is turned off in the settings is the problem since he already stated that he tried resetting to factory settings.
I'd suggest simply using odin to reflash J1 onto the phone and start from scratch again. This is why the devs always remind people to do a nandroid backup. In case of situations like this.

Thanks. Yes, Mobile data is ticked. I tried toggling that early on in case it just wasn't connecting properly or something.
I've tried flashing the stock J1 a few ties, but no joy.
It doesn't seem to do a full install, as the circle battery mod I installed previously is still there after flashing stock J1...
I'm downloading a stock XXALIE for Thailand at the moment and will try that.
It's still got 30 mins to go, and I have to leave for work soon! So, I might have to spend the day relying on wifi when I can get it
I'm wondering if the change in boot loader has anything to do with it. (Originally had "N7100" on the boot screen and now I don't, just "Galaxy Note II")
maybe APN settings are wrong? I'm from sri lanka, and I had to add an apn for mobile data to work.
OK, I finally fixed it. Here is what I did (in case anyone else has a similar problem)
Flashed stock LJ1 via odin
Downloaded Galaxy S/S2/S3 CSC
Reset my CSC to THL
Now when it restarted it picked up mobile data signal without me doing anything to the mobile network settings.
I reflashed Omega 3 and lost mobile data again. I tried the Galaxy CSC app, but it says there is only 1 CSC.
So, I went back to stock Thai LJ1.
This time I got an OTA update straight away. After that installed I noticed the boot screen had changed back to showing GT-N7100 again.
ROM is now XXALJ3 and the modem is DXALJ1
Flashed CWM and reinstalled most of my apps from Titanium Backup.
Everything is still OK.
So, it looks like I can't use Omega ROM because it changes the CSC and I can't change it back to THL.
Is there any way to install the CSC separately after flashing Omega?
Had my nexus rooted since day 1 and never had any issues. Lately i've been trying to use Barclay's Pingit app which doesn't work on rooted devices. So i reflashed to stock through the galaxy nexus toolkit. I did get service on the stock rom, but i've since tried a nandroid restore of my CM10 and it appears to have screwed something up. First off, the restore completed in 4 seconds, so it obviously didn't work. I'm using TWRP if that makes any difference.
So i tried a wipe and flash other roms, but still no service. Even after going back to stock, still no service. I'm assuming the botched nandroid restore has possibly damaged my radio somehow? I did try to flash another radio, and it flashes ok, but still no service.
APN settings are fine. All i get though when i try to connect to a network is "Can't connect to this network at the moment, please try again later".
I'm on 3 UK. Tried connecting to other networks, but still the same issue
Just tried flashing a new radio through fastboot, flashes fine and shows up in baseband version, but still no service...
Have you tried getril app? If your radio interface layer doesn't match it can fix it.

Yeah i tried it earlier, no luck.
Just tried again to make sure, still nothing
I have had some bad flashes with twrp. If I were you I would try cwm and then flash a new ROM.

Op, do you still have your imei? Try another simcard have you?
Sent from my i9250
Yeah i've tried several new rom flashes through CWM.
@bk201doesntexist - Yeah the phone has an IMEI in the status menu. I'm wondering if it's blocked since my provider accidentally cancelled my contract a few months ago, and i didn't say a word
Scrap that actually, apparently Three UK can't block IMEI's for some reason...
Funnily enough, i tried a sim card from another carrier and not only did it not connect to any network, but now when i go to search networks it just says "Error while searching for networks".
Edit - Called my network provider, they said my IMEI was wrong. At the minute it starts with 0049, which it shouldn't apparently. I dunno how this got changed in the first place.
Ok, so i've looked into the imei 0049 issue and it's starting to make sense. I looked in the /factory folder and it's empty, well apart from lost+found but it's empty. I assume the only option is to send it off for repairs? I do still have a nandroid backup on my computer and it has efs.ext4.win on there. Gonna give that a shot.
Edit 2 - Ok so I updated TWRP as my version was 2.2. Attempted the nandroid restore again and success! Got my voice and data back!
Thanks for the suggestions, its been a stressful day and hope this can help somebody else in a similar position
Yeah i forgot mentioning the fake imei thing. I was thinking about the /factory partition being null, thats why i spoke of imei.
Please edit the thread title to include tag [SOLVED]. Thanks.

hey so i read that I should backup my imei but instead backed up my rom in cwm recovery then flash galaxy mod. it worked for 10 mins then switched to 3g then stopped getting a signal and check the imei and it said 0 so i restored back to stock and the imei went back to normal..then it just said 0 again after a while so i restored it again and its back up. anyone else have this same problem?

My phone isnt recieving/making calls either. Im on stock rooted and data and texting is working..

this is a known issue with AT&T. not only the S3 but HTC's One X and several others as well. i would imagine the problem is based on network location. you could try powering down, removing the battery and sim card for a few minutes and then clearing the data and cache in the phone app once its powered back up. otherwise, give a call to customer service. cheers
Ahh right. I forgot my dad had that when he had the s3 and he traded his phone for an iPhone..lol. I panicked and thought it was because I rooted my phone so I flashed stock with Odin. Guess I'll root it back and backup my efs folder this time lol

I recently experienced the the same issue but with a different rom. I did a clean install, everything booted up and seemed to run exceptionally well. After 30 mins or so I lost my data icon and signal bars disappeared all together. My imei showed 0 along with eri version and serial number. I panicked a little bc I was at work without access to my laptop, booted into recovery and restored a BlackJelly cwm backup. Luckily everything was seemingly normal again after that and going forward has been fine. But a couple of months prior I flashed the wrong recovery.img and completely corrupted the efs folder. None of my cwm backups worked at fixing the imei, eri and serial. Thankfully there is an amazing guide in our development forum that addresses exactly how to fix this.
Sent from my Atat S3 that now thinks its a Galaxy Nexus.....
Those darn s3's haha Lol. I don't get why it seems like restoring a nandroid is temporary but going back to stock with Odin erases the problem. I don't even know what I did wrong while flashing. I basically read how to root then started flashing things.

Hey everyone, so somehow, by flashing a kernel, I lost my IMEI/EFS folder. Of course, I didn't have it backed up to begin with. I restored my IMEI using QPST, but I still only manage to connect to EDGE. I restored an old stock rooted nandroid and tried again, to no avail.
In settings, I am still missing my ERI version, and, as I said before, I can connect to EDGE, make phone calls, receive texts, etc. but no data, so something is definitely missing.
Could somebody give me the definitive method to repair this problem? Thanks!
Ok....tried to Odin back to Stock rooted (Root69) and I'm hung at the Samsung boot screen. Can anyone lend a hand?
EDIT: Fixed with factory reset. Still stuck on EDGE...
Can you clear the imei number with this tool?

I would suggest warranty replacement as the best option. I ran into the same issue, and that is what I had to do. Apparently, the NV items carry a lot of configuration information. After I did the warranty replacement, I did a difference between the NV backup from my old corrupted GSIII and the new one before I returned it. There were some substantial differences, much more than just the missing IMEI!
After running on a stock ROM(but rooted /w TWRP), I decided that I wanted to install a custom ROM so that I could tether if needed. Well, big mistake. I wiped stock and accidentally wiped my stock backup when going to flash a custom ROM and so far I've tried XenonHD, Jedi X19, IllusionROM, and now I'm on a Stock-Tweaked. So far, every single ROM has caused massive delays in receiving SMS messages and syncs from stuff like gmail.
Data is definitely working, and i've tried both the epc.tmobile.com and fast.tmobile.com APNs but my phone keeps hanging when it trys to send some texts and, if I have texts "waiting" to be delivered to my phone, I only receive them once I turn on my phone screen or only if the screen is on. So what the hell is going on here?
Don't mess around with roms and flash the stock-root injected one via Odin.
Download goo to install latest twrp and then download stock ROM for your device, wipe first 4 options not internal or external and not otg USB at least 3 full wipes then flash stock ROM and wait and you should b good
I installed the stock rom via Odin and still having this issue. =/
It seems that if I go to 4G/3G/2G mode only the issue doesn't persist. Or at least not as much. But then I can't use LTE! =/
Call tmobile tell him you did a factory reset on your phone and that you're having this problem and they will reset the network on their side. This happened to me before in the past and a quick call to them fix my problem. Hope this helps

I just had the same exact issue in the Pittsburgh area. I had to replace my sim card and now all is well.
