Have a job interview need urgent help...i747uclg1 upgraded to lollipop - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

and my phones doesn't recognize my sim anymore. I can receive calls and dial and it says 'no service' I am unable to load anything on the internet on my LTE connection, but can still send text messages.
I have always just factory reset and flashed a new rom/gapps/davlick and cache wipe.
SOmething I am seeing with the i747 is that people are speaking about updating bootloaders etc etc? Do I have to do this? Is my problem with radio or modem ( I reflashed the stock modem)?
Someone plase guide me as the documentation on this and upgrading bootloaders isn't too clear and can potentially brick a phone from what I understand.
Cm12 also doens't work like the LiquidSmooth lollipop. However 4.1.2 and the original ICS roms work. What is going on here?
Also I have a job interview so really need his up and running with new Lollipop;(
Solution: Had to upadte the modem to modem_CWM_I747UCUEMJB Seems to be working

Glad you now have it working.
If you intend to update to Lollipop ROMs you will find you need to be on KitKat bootloaders. Once at this version the bootloader and modem(baseband) versions must always match. I would strongly recommend confirming what each are before flashing anything else. You can do this with the Phone Info - Samsung from the Playstore, by vndnugyen. Or you could use these Terminal Emulator commands to do the same thing:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep baseband.version

Well, I had your problem before, all I did is to flash a fresh copy of the factory firmware and it works wonder.
The link is on ANDROIDAYOS and I can't link it because I am too new to post link
1. Get your PC
2. Download the factory firmware (select the version of the Android you got when you bought your phone)
3. Download the Odin thing from the link above (any version work)
4. Wait 7 hours for the factory firmware to download...
5. Extract either download somewhere on your computer
6. Open Odin
7. Click on "AP" or "PDA"
8. Select your extracted factory firmware
9. Put your GS3 sgh i747m on Odin mode
You put a gs3 on Odin mode by first shutting down. After you press on "Volume Down" + "Power button" + "Home button". It will take you to accept their condition that it's your responsibility to not screw your phone and blah blah. Accept it by pressing "Volume up"
10. Connect your Sgh i747m on your PC
11. Odin with detect
12. Press on "Start" on Odin
13. Wait
14. Disconnect your Sgh i747m from the PC and enjoy your factory new phone!

Bootloader version: I747UCDLK3 (4.1.1)
Baseband I747UCUEMJB
How do I even update my bootloader, do you have a link to what I can ODIN(PDA) flash? Never uploaded my bootloader ever...I think
Also I"m confused this seems to be working fine (although my GPS might need more driving /testing might a cellular issue) so the 'required kitkat' is clearly not true right?

Is the phone sim unlocked? If not, flashing a completely stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM should be possible since the phone's bootloader is lk3 4.1.1. After flashing the stock 4.1.1, the free method can be used to permanently sim unlock the phone.
To make sure your phone will work with the most recent custom ROMs, I suggest flashing back to a stock 4.1.1 ROM and run OTA updates until the phone is running the most recent ROM. This is the slowest method but the safest in my opinion.

[Q] Baseband/Download Mode name incorrect

Hi I know this is my first post on here but i have been researching and havent been able to find anything on it. I sent in my gs3 to squaretrade and recieved a replacement one today. The model says GT-I747 on the back. So I started the phone, rooted it and installed cwm using the toolkit. I went to go install CM10 when it gave me a getprop error. I thought this was wierd so I installed a different 4.2.2 aokp rom and it worked fine. I started up the phone and realized i wasnt getting any 4g. only up to H+. I went and looked at the baseband version and it says T999UVDMD5 which i know is the tmobile version. the model number still said SGH-i747 but i figured that was just because it was an i747 rom
I thought this was strange and was like oh well ill just go back to stock and start again. I went into Download mode and noticed the product name says SGH-T999. It may have said that before and i didnt notice but i did this time, Any time I try to reflash anything with odin it gives me a
Complete(write) operation failed error. Whether im trying to reflash the baseband or back to a stock rom i get that error. On the phone it says SECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot
i also tried flashing the i747 modem in cwm from one of the threads on here which just made the baseband unknown in the settings with no reception and such. I tried multiple modems with no luck. the only way i was able to regain reception was by flashing another T999 modem through CWM
as a last attempt I installed a Touchwiz rom through cwm to see if it would sync through kies. It said my firmware version wasnt supported for update via kies. when i go to software upgrade and initialization it says 'SGH-I747' does not support initialising.
Im stuck. Please help

Updated to stock touchwiz 4.3, phone freeze when make call

I was using CarbonROM based on JB 4.3.1 but was getting fed up with not being able to connect with families oversea through VOIP such as skype, viber, etc... because the mic doesn't work with voip apps in AOSP Roms. So I decided to go back to stock and full flash samsung's 4.3 stock rom via Odin 3.9; the rom was 2.24GB extracted so I'm almost certain and well aware that it's the bloated tmo samsung tw version.
About device show android version 4.3, baseband M919UVUEMK2, and I can get LTE signal fine but cannot toggle wifi on. And when I go to place a phone call the entire UI freeze and won't respond, then come the "Process com.android.phone isn't responding" dialog box. Except for wifi and phone call everything else seems to work, but I haven't tested extensively yet nor are they important to me.
From here I went about installing latest CWM recovery and SU, and I was able to install OmniROM and CM11 nightlies. But the phone UI freezing problem still persist even with those custom roms.
At this point I have an inkling it has something to do with the new MK2 modem. I noticed that when installing the stock fw it had modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin entries in Odin. I read through other threads and some mention about not installing NON-HLOS.bin file, but it was included in the stock fw so I don't know why it would misbehave (if it's the culprit)
At this point I am out of options. Someone with knowledge and experience with this please give helps or suggestions. Thank you!
If you flashed via Odin, you had no choice with the non _hlos.bin. That's only for peoples sticking with mdl bootloader but flash 4.3 ROM.
Have you tried a factory reset after updating to 4.3
☞ Sent from here☜
I did a factory reset in TW and it still freeze. I can open the dialer app, punch in a number or choose from contact list, but as soon as I hit Dial the whole phone freeze. The connection is made because I test dialed my home phone # and it rang, just that I could not get the phone to talk. No dial sound from the phone, screen it black; I can see status bar but it won't respond to my touch. When I pick up the home phone and tried to make a conversation there's no sound coming out of the S4, and even if I yell real loud into the mic no voice is carried over to the home phone.
I tried installing latest Omni rom 4.4.2 kitkat nightly, did a factory reset after letting phone sit still at home screen for 5 mins after installation, still can't get the phone app to do its job at all.
Edit: forgot to mention that the phone is unlocked and I'm using Straight Talk AT&T LTE sim. LTE works fine, just no calling due to this update problem here.
nvm I fixed it by reflashing a file Modem_UVUAMDL.tar.md5 until it turns back to MDL baseband, then flashed modem.bin only and it everything works again.

i'm having the same issue, I was to download the modem_UVUAMDL.tar.md5 but it did not include the modem.bin. is it safe to use any version of the modem.bin file I find here?

Official 5.1.1 for T-Mobile (607t) issues

So I've having a bit of an issue with my 607t and I recall seeing some of the issues before. I was rooted before and on a custom 5.1.1 for a 605. Everything worked except it would sometimes boot back to recovery after power down. (known issue)
So today I went ahead and downloaded the official 5.1.1 and used Odin to flash back to stock. I'm not having any OS issues but am having a problem with wi-fi and the LTE radio. Wondering if anyone else has seen this and what was your fix?
1) The wi-fi will not remember passwords after a reboot.
2) After the update the unit is telling me that no SIM card is installed. Verified SIM is good on another device and tried a different SIM in the Note with same results.
Have flashed via ODIN again, factory reset a few times, remove/install SIM and the problems persist. I'm thinking there must be something from the 605 kernel that the ODIN flash isn't fixing.
Would appreciate any tips. - Thanks!!!!
You have to update the bootloader. There's a check-box in Odin for that.

That was the ONE thing I didn't do. And it worked.
That box was always greyed out when I loaded the file and didn't notice after the file processed that it was an available option.
Thanks!!!!

Unknown Baseband after flashing rom

Okay so i have the T-Mobile Galaxy s3. It has been rooted for a while with zero problems. I got tired of the older android on it and decided to install a rom. I installed Cyanogenmod 13.0-20151208-unofficial-d2tmo running android 6.0.1. When i first got it all booted and loaded with gapps, i noticed that it recognized my sim and that i had a signal but i couldn't use any LTE or just all around data. basically i couldn't go online (in case i just didn't explain that well enough. Phone service is a mystery to me). I did some searching online and found a lot of people saying that i needed to update my baseband. i found a baseband for my model (T999) and tried to flash it in TWRM. Once i rebooted, it said "No SIM card - No service." in the upper left-hand side. i have tried flashing multiple different basebands the same way with no luck. i tried backing up my EFS folder and the restoring it because someone said to do that and that just... just no... it didn't do anything. even Odin 3 said it was a "FAIL!". So here i am with this android equivalent to an Ipod and i hate this. Everything else in this ROM works perfectly aside from this but this is a super big problem. PLEASE HELP!!!! A phone isn't a phone if you cant even send a text.
Did you update the phone's bootloader and modem to the latest version before flashing CM?

WiFi will not turn on...

Hi. I have a Sprint Samsung Note 4. I was getting a screen overlay error and decided now would be the time to change the ROM on the Note.
I followed the steps from "How to Install CyanogenMod on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Sprint ("trltespr")"
After I installed the first ROM, which was the latest nightly, and booted it up, I noticed that the WIFI says "Turning on" but doesn't ever turn on. It's greyed out in settings as well. I tried a few different nightly's thinking it was a defective file or bad install. Still no fix.
So then I went http://www.grantbarker.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4.html to try different roms, and I get the exact same issue.
Now I'm thinking that there is something I'm missing that the original ROM had. And for some reason the backup I made from it is missing, so I can't go back to it either. Is there a way to fix the wifi? It kind of sucks without it. Thanks for any advice that could help.
Were you on Marshmallow or Lollipop stock? Sounds like you have the wrong bootloader and that may be the reason. You would either have to flash the recommended stock tar or bootloader or bootloader and baseband.
I don't keep up with CM but the thing to check for is recommended bootloader in OP or search the thread. You may find it necessary to flash OK1 or OG5 bootloader. Dunno, maybe check for the baseband too for CM.
There's a bootloader and baseband thread in the development forum for Sprint Note 4. You should find what you need to flash in Odin AP mode. The ones labeled firmware are bootloaders.

You could probably try reverting to the factory settings and checking if the WiFi works? And then, you could change it to the current ROM again. This might help you resolve the WiFi issue.
