[Q] [Virgin Mobile] Galaxy S3 Lte Connection on CM 12 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I recently rooted my s3, and flashed the Cyanogenmod 12.1-20150527-NIGHTLY-d2spr ROM.
3G and lower works great, but I am unable to connect to the LTE network. I initially believed it was an APN problem, and flashed this: (android forums -> virgin-mobile-mod-universal-lte-virgin-mobile-apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298), without success. I tried updating/adding apns manually, but still am unable to connect to 4G.
My model is SPH-L710, and current baseband is L710VPUCNDC.
Let me know if you have any advice/solutions!

To get LTE, clean flash (wipe cache, system, and data on TWRP or use the "clean to install new ROM" option on PhilZ) the ROM, Gapps, and the APN fix and then boot up. As soon as your phone finishes booting up, turn it off, go into recovery, and dirty flash (don't wipe anything) the ROM and Gapps.
I used this on AICP 9.0 which is based on CM12.1, and I've heard this procedure works on CM12.1 and any CM12.1 based ROM.

[Q] CM 10.1 stable / SG3 SIM boot loop

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 ATT
Problem: Following message after flashing CM 10.1
SIM Card Added
Restart your device to access the mobile network
Restart button
Background:
upgraded baseband TO root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 FROM root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar
flashed clockworkmod after tarring latest file from CWM website
Flashing method:
From CWM recovery, I use the following options:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Mounts and storage-> format: data, system, cache
Advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
Install from zip - > rom (CM 10.1)
Install from zip - > addons (GAPPS)
Advanced - > wipe dalvik cache
Advanced - > fix permissions
Reboot
Notes:
flashing liquidsmooth 2.7 -- same SIM boot loop occurs (uses new CM branch?)
flashing carbonrom 1.7 -- does not have any SIM reboot problems (uses old CM branch?)
CM 10.1 stable shows battery with a circle continuously; does not show charging, etc. like before.
Another BIG issue is with the networks where, when searching for networks:
Carbonrom shows carriers -- with names such as ATT, T-MO, etc
Liquidsmooth and CM 10.1 stable shows some numbers like
23015
21646
23066
for carriers
dosen't this look like a bug for JIRA??? Has to be, especially since RC(4?) had an issue with network usage calculation?
By the way, clicking the back button at the prompt goes away and I can make and receive calls.
Does going back to stock (rooted or not?) SIM lock the phone again?
Have you changed sim cards and/or do a sim card unlocking?

Phone SIM unlocked
No, I haven't changed the SIM card. I did not have problems using CM10 RC2 or the M's. Also, the phone is SIM unlocked; I called the carrier and got the unlock code.
Once your phone is SIM unlocked it will remain that way regardless of what ROM you install. Verify MD5 of your ROM and gapps downloads. If good do full wipe and try again. Could be botched install.

MD5 verification / LOGCAT attached
Thank you all for trying to help. Please see LOGCAT attached.
I understand that ROMs do not SIM lock the phone. However, I not only did a ROM upgrade but a baseband update too. Anyhow, looks like the SIM is going to stay unlocked.
MD5s for both CM 10.1 stable and GAPPS for 10.1 match.
Installation has worked out fine. Liquidsmooth and CM shows the errors. CarbonRom does not. Wonder why no one else is having this issue?
Everytime I reboot, I get that prompt to restart, although after hitting the back button it goes away and I can use the phone fine. Maybe, I just have to learn to live with it until a major change is made.
[SOLVED]
The problem has disappeared.
This happened after several reboots and after doing I did a data restore with mybackup root.
I think the main thing that solved the problem was an automatic network registration.... this was a work around provided by someone. The phone gave a message that it registered sucessfully. Previous it kept erroring out.
The network operators still show up as random 5 digit numbers, but I can live with that.
Thank you all!

[Q] Poor mobile data connection after loss and subsequent reinjection of IMEI

Hello everyone, please excuse my noobness. I have spent two days now searching and trying to solve my issue, but no luck. Here are the series of events:
1. rooted i747 and got cwm 5.5
2. flashed liquidsmooth with cwm 5.5 and gapps
3. everything was fine (i think)
4. i tried to flash cm 10.1 with cwm 5.5 not realizing i needed 6.x and the flash failed
5. restored to my liquidsmooth back up
6. realized my imei was 0 at this point and no cell signal
7. used odin 3.07 to flash back to stock 4.1.1 rom from samsung
8. injected my imei using NV items reader writer method
After this sequence of events, regardless of the rom (stock, cm, liquidsmooth), my modem connects to LTE and is fine while i'm using it, but then after idling for 20 mins or more is on GPRS. Sometimes it has no data connection whatsoever. If i go to airplane mode and then come back out of airplane mode it will find the LTE tower and be fine again until I leave it alone or use it for more than 20 minutes.
I am using the correct APN (phone or pta on ATT)
my IMEI is correct under status in the about section in settings.
I have also done this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036891
i have also flashed my modem with this rom : I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_ATT (My baseband version is UCDLK3) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
The issue isn't that I can not connect to HSPA+ or LTE ... the issue is I lose that connectivity after 20-30 minutes and can not gain it back unless I toggle airplane on and off.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to update this thread, in case others had the issue.
There was no solution that could be found. I ended up taking the phone in to ATT after resetting to factory defaults and resetting the flash counter. They replaced it and now on CM10.1.2 with normal functioning radio.

[Q] FreedomPop- no data with Cyanogen, data with stock

Hey guys,
I am trying to get my Galaxy S3 working on the Freedompop network with BYOD.
I flashed to stock firmware:
MD4_update_FULL_Odex.zip
because the MSL code (##786#) that I was supposed to use to reconfigure the radio to Freedompop's network, did not work in CyanogenMod.
In the stock firmware, the code worked, and I got cellular data and voice. However, when I flashed back to CM, the Sprint icon is orange, and I don't have data connectivity any more.
This is the version of CM I flashed to:
cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-d2lte.zip
Any ideas for what could be wrong?

Same with Carbon, but in carbon if the preferred network is 3G, or 1x, it will connect to those networks but it will not connect to LTE. I also noticed that in carbon it connects to LTE and 1xRTT instead of LTE and 1x800. Also does anyone know any possible way to go to 4.1.2 stock (from stock 4.4.2 KK)? I am also on FreedomPop btw.
Found A Fix
I searched a bit and found a fix, that didn't work at first but worked if you use it a specific way. It's the APN causing the issue. This was found out by user Merudo here on XDA. The fix is to do this:
1. Download a Ting APN fix .zip
2. Go on the ROM with working LTE (stock) and take it's apns-conf.xml (it's in /system/etc/) and copy it to the computer
3. Replace the apns-conf.xml in the Ting APN fix
4. Copy to phone with ROM and Gapps
5. Flash it in right after you flash your rom and gapps (e.g. 1st flash your rom then gapps then the APN fix)
6. Reboot and setup and it should work.
Again Kudos to Merudo for figuring this out.
Anyone get note 3 working on here? I'm on boost now with on 3g.. wondering if I can flash just a uicc card to freedom pop lte??

[Q] CM 12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1 no mobile data issue! Help!

Hi there everyone, I managed to install the lollipop 5.0.x on my S3 Spring running on the Cleartalk Wireless Network which is a local company. The ROM worked well and I had working 3G mobile data, except for the camera which we all know doesn't work for sprint s3's on 5.0.x ROMs, so i decided to flash to 5.1.1 from this website: GalaxyS3root under the sprint s3 roms, the 5.1.1 one.
Everything went well, i could run the ROM and everything worked, camera, wifi, everything, except for one thing, 3G mobile data. I get signal, but no 3G data, there is an exclamation mark next to my signal. Ive tried rebooting, and it hasn't worked, ive searched for apn fixes, but none of them are for the Cleartalk Wireless network, i've found
apn fixes for boost and others only, so after more google searching i found out you could backup your apn settings and restore them, how does this work? I really enjoyed the
lollipop rom and if it wasn't for the 3G not working, i wouldve kept it, right now i just decided to flash my S3 to the stock firmware 4.4.2 and just root it. Any ideas fixes or suggestions that could fix the mobile connection on the 5.1.1 ROM? 3G has worked in every rom, (Carbon, lollipop 5.0, stock rom) but not in the 5.1.1 one, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Same issue here.
I am on NJ2 baseband (modem).
finally found a solution!!!
for everyone loosing their 3G data after installing the 5.1.1 or any other rom... this is what worked for me... backing up apn's with "apn backup and restore" app from the play store in the stock rom ... then after installing the lollipop rom... just restore apn's. There are tutorials on how to do that ... just google for "apn backup and restore tutorial". :good:

[SPH-L520] Flashed stock firmware, service no longer works.

Hello XDA!
I recently installed Team OctOS OCT-M for my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Sprint US) which worked great besides data not working. So I flashed my firmware to stock using Odin with a 4.4.2 tar.md5 (build number: L520VPUBNE3) and ever since I flashed using Odin, I've lost all signal and data. Only WiFi works but the rest of the phone works great besides the absence of cellular connection. I noticed that the connection is restored for a brief few seconds when I reboot and then it'll drain down into zero signal. I've also tried replacing the SIM, restoring by wiping the whole device down to bootloader and recovery and flashing with different build numbers for 4.4.2 for this device. If anyone has any idea on how I can fix this, please help!
Thanks!

Try to install Stock rom from kies. and if not work try AICP 13 rom to see if you are able to get back cellular signals.
