[Q] No data connection after 4.3 update

My phone is unlocked and using a MetroPCS sim card, so I couldn't get the OTA update, even on Wifi. After following the instructions at [Download][Install] 4.3 OTA Update, I no longer have data connection on the phone unless I use wifi.
From what I've read, this usually happens because a modem wasn't flashed, but I assumed that the 4.3 update in that thread had a modem. Even so, I entered stock recovery and flashed the modem from the hidden part of Loserskater's post here. But I still have no data.
Does anyone have any ideas what went wrong or what I can do next? I don't mind rooting if that's what I have to do (I plan on it anyway, but didn't know if I should work on getting data first).
Thanks

it could be that, you mixed a leaked modem with a different build thus messing with the final official build or update that ATT released last week
wipe everything if thats possible then download the 4.3 firmware from this link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291680243 and since you are on stock just download it using odin (use this link if you have no idea of how to use odin) http://droidow.com/galaxy-s3-i747-update-with-ucuemj2-android-4-3-leaked/ but on the PDA part use the file you download from the link above (update43.zip) and that will fix your problems
this may or may not work, i have not tested as i have not updated to 4.3 am waiting for devs to update their roms to 4.3 and then i can go with 4.3/rooting
follow instructions carefully since 4.3 for the S3 is like a virus, this update just leads to HARD BRICKS but dont worry just do everything right and things will be fine
hope you have i747 = ATT not i747m = CANADIANS variants

After hunting through all the settings options, I found that I had nothing in the Access Point Names menu under Mobile Networks. I think because I updated with a Metro-PCS sim card in the phone, rather than an ATT one, for whatever reason I didn't get any APN settings.
So after hunting down T-Mobile's and writing them in, I now have Data. Phew!

[RESOLVED-HARDWARE ISSUE] No SIM card detected....

EDIT: ISSUE RESOLVED. THIS IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM. SEE POST #16
---------------------------------------------------
Hey folks, so my friend didn't wait for my flashing skills and flashed his g/f's phone on his own.
Phone was already on some very old version of SlimROM AOSP and an older TWRP of some version or other.
I emailed him TWRP 7.1.X zip and a 4.1.2 stock rooted ROM zip.
He flashed them both at the same time, without rebooting in between.
And got a boot loop.
I had him flash just the TWRP and reboot to recovery. Then flash the ROM zip.
Now his phone suddenly does not detect the SIM card any longer? It did before all this.
The IMEI is fine. And I tried my very old AT&T SIM card, but it didn't detect my SIM either.
I then ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 and had same problem.
So I then rooted and flashed a custom 4.1.2 that came with a custom kernel, and still had the same problem.
So then I ODIN'd back to a stock ICS and STILL have the same problem.
Any suggestions?

SGH-T989 is the phone. The Hercules. Her SIM is a T-Mobile "isis" micro SIM with the little adapter thing. She says it worked fine before the update.

And.... that's why the SIM card worked before the "update" to stock TouchWiz. LOL
Turns out the SIM card she was using is the newer "Isis" version and it's not compatible with the 4.1.2 TouchWiz. And since 4.1.2 is the newest TouchWiz available for the Hercules, I just flashed to the newest AOSP 4.4 and now SIM is recognized again. I guess the really old Slim AOSP ROM was still somehow newer than the 4.1.2.
Dang, it sucks that Samsung hasn't even given you guys 4.2 yet. Sheesh.
Thanks for the help though.

Glad you got it working again! Part of it is Samsung is now on the S5, and they want people to buy it so they don't update the S2. The other problem is TouchWiz is so inefficient that some if their phones with 1gb if ram can't run TouchWiz KitKat, even though KK is designed for 512 mb of RAM and up. That's why every Samsung phone or tablet I've ever owned has been rooted once it is out of warranty (about when they stop updating if you buy new.)
If I can help you with anything else, please reply to this post.
Have a good night!

UPDATE: BROKEN AGAIN
Well I just don't understand this one. The phone and SIM were working fine last night. I gave the phone back to the owner. This morning she brings it back to me because once again, the SIM is not working. She didn't do anything to the phone, so we're not sure what caused this.
And for the life of me, I can't get the SIM card to work again, after re-doing everything I did last night to fix it.
So I went to T-Mobile store and got her the old style SIM specifically for this phone model. And the phone doesn't see that SIM either. The T-Mobile guy was perplexed.
Especially so, because the phone recognizes my AT&T SIM and asks for an unlock code. It see's my Mom's AT&T SIM also. Asks for an unlock code.
So WTF. It see's AT&T SIM's but can't see any TMO SIM.
Most.Perplexing.
Already tried ODIN to stock and flashed AOSP 4.4. Nothing working.
Full wipes in between flashes.
IMEI is still showing up fine and TMO agent didn't find any locks on the IMEI in his system.

Yup, modem=radio.

I ODIN'd the older 4.0.X ROM found at SamMobile: T989UVLH1_T989TMBLH1_TMB
Then I ODIN'd root.
Then I flashed the older radio: sgh-t989_uvle1_radio
I followed the directions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
This unlocked the phone for my AT&T SIM to use. And dammit, the phone see's my AT&T SIM and is making calls just fine.
BUT IT STILL REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY T-MOBILE SIM.
WTF WTF WTF. LOL. :silly:

Okay, I got things figured out.
This is a HARDWARE issue.
If the AT&T SIM is inserted properly, it works fine.
If either T-Mobile SIM is inserted properly, it does not work.
If the T-Mobile micro SIM is inserted properly, then slid out 1/8", then it works.
I can't get the T-Mobile normal SIM to work in any position, but then it's bigger, so it's harder to get it to "slide around" in the slot they way I need it to.

Could you please send me the link or ICS stock rom file, all link I found already die.

I am not in a similar situation, I just bought an unlocked ATT Skyrocket using T-mobile SIM. And I hope to find a ROM supports ISIS/Softcard now. I think it would probably be a T-mobile stock ROM.
I ran through I727 and T989 forums, yet got a bit confused with all types of methods.
So, what's your latest suggested steps? Thanks,

Bad/no reception on T999L, need help/suggestions

These issues started with the upgrade to latest T-Mobile 4.3 software pack at the end of November. Phone operated perfectly before then. After the update, the phone would periodically not receive/place calls/texts/use data. The issue kept worsening daily. It is not related to the SIM card or location, as the card has been replaced and tested in an alternate phone where it performs perfectly.
The T999L was then consequently rooted, KNOX flagged (it's already past warranty, Samsung wouldn't give a rat's ass about it), flashed to CM11 M12 and later a variety of modems was tried. Same issues persisted. Restored to stock 4.1.2, same issues. Did 3 updates OTA to get to latest 4.3, same issues.
Messed around with 4636 menu, 2263 menu, etc. Some changes had a temporary result but nothing permanent. Calls to the phone are redirected to voicemail. When placing a call, it takes 5-10 seconds to either place it or disconnect it (as it can't connect to the network, I guess?). The bars on the phone show 3-4 bars typically, but the phone is rarely able to acquire a data connection. Again, this is not the case with other phones the SIM is tried on.
Any suggestions? I've spent probably close to 10 hours researching this and trying everything out and I am absolutely stumped. This is my mom's phone and a replacement Alcatel OneTouch Fierce 2 just "doesn't look nice", so I'm getting a fair bit of *****ing for trying to help solve this, even though it's not my fault. Would appreciate some help before Christmas.

Have you tried updating the modem?

I'd say so. Used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880987 and flashed the 4.3 basebands for T999L and T999N, total of 3. I'm thinking this is something to do with the 4.3 bootloader or basebands... any methods to go back to 4.1.2 without a brick?

If you have a T999L stick to the designated T999L modems and nothing else, or you may damage the device. If you have a 4.3 bootloader there is no way back. Have you tried to use ODIN to flash the latest NF4 firmware for your T999L and then do a factory reset using the stock recovery? I posted NF4's link in this post. Good luck.

Downloading right now, and will test. Pretty sure this is the firmware update after which this problem started occurring.
Any other ideas for what might be affecting this besides baseband? I have a feeling something else might be causing this. I'm not familiar with Samsung partitions though and what is flashed by OTA/Odin.

Well, OTA updates can sometimes fail, that's why I gave you the ODIN firmware link. It's the best help I can offer.

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S6 lost wifi radio after cfautoroot- noob

Hi- I'm an apologetic noob
Just got a sprint galaxy s6, activated it (all seemed to work), then rooted it with cfautoroot. Flashed via ODIN the CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t.tar (which i guess is the t-mobile one).
Unfortunately, somehow wifi was lost-- it seems to turn on, but just keeps searching and never finds any networks (there are plenty near me). Phone and bluetooth seem to work fine.
I had read that there would likely be problems with deep sleep after root, so i thought the wifi might be part of it, and i tried to flash proactively G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5
that just lost me root access, but didn't restore wifi.
so i reflashed the CF-autoroot.
Now it says i have
android version 5.0.2
and baseband version g920pvpu1a0cf
hardware version g920p02
am rooted again
but wifi is still lost
It may be because of my efforts to 'restore' from TiBu (possibly because also of things like xposed framework which doesn't work with touchwiz)
anyway- can anyone help a clueless noob?
(sorry if in wrong section)
thanks

didn't work unfortunately
i just re-flashed the only stock i see available (via sammobile) from here
xxx (the sammobile site- it won't let me post link) /firmwares/database/SM-G920P/
wasn't any wifi back even without root. rooting didn't change it.
is there another 'stock' somewhere?

Solution?.... hard factory reset
so
i finally essentially gave up and tried a hard factory reset which erased all data.
the good news is wi-fi reappeared. I will try to root again and hope it was just a glitch in the process.
wish me luck, thanks for the help, and I hope my experience helps someone else.

Latest G930U firmware (PL2) on G930V is a success.

I decided to try the latest U-firmware on my G930V. I had issues with previous G930U builds having SMS/MMS issues. I gave PL2 a shot yesterday and I've been really happy with it. The phone is very snappy and everything works as designed. Verizon visual voicemail can't be used, but it's not a huge deal. VoLTE works well. You can download My Verizon from the Play Store. I'd highly recommend this firmware compared to the previous builds. Make sure to enable the Verizon APN in APN settings after install.
I'd like to note that my phone is completely stock at this point, NOT ROOTED, so I didn't need to apply any fixes to make things work. You should be able to root without issue if that's your thing.
Downloading the firmware from Sammobile takes FOREVER, so I uploaded it to my AFH account to cut down on that download time for you guys.
G930UUEU4APL2
Backup using Smart Switch, then use Odin and flash ALL 4 files. Do yourself a favor and don't use HOME_CSC. It'll make things much smoother if you don't.

Let me know if anyone runs into any issues. I know in the past, some have had great experience with the U-firmware and others had issues with no reception. I want to see if the same holds true for this build.

Is this update in January?
Update: Yup, I took it last month and everything was OK. I am on Verizon Rom now just expecting it receives Nougat earlier than U furmware, which updates quarterly.

I was hoping Verizon would see the official Nougat by this point. I liked the feel of the U-firmware, but reception was a problem for me on Verizon. I decided I'd give the latest U-firm a shot since waiting for official Verizon Nougat seems like a lost cause at this point. I'll stay with this until Nougat is officially released. This firmware is the December update, and since they update it quarterly, an update should be around the corner. Maybe the next U-firmware will be Nougat. I think Nougat-U would be damn near flawless lol.

I've been running it since beginning of January no Issues

What exactly are the benefits of flashing this? Do I get 7.0? How is the reception? What are the cons?

I have a pretty big problem. I attempted flashing the 4 files with Odin 3.09. After a couple of seconds the operation terminated and now my GS7 is stuck in a bootloop. Whats worse is that when i attempted to boot into recovery, now it shows a blue screen with the android logo that says "installing system update" for about 2 seconds then shuts off, then tries again. Does anyone know how to fix this, at least so I can flash stock back on it?
Update: Fixed it, was able to get into download mode and use odin to flash stock. The flash failed but it was able to trip the OS and recovery back to normal for some reason.

No carrier bloat and a very smooth OS. The reception is great. The cons are that you don't get any of the carrier features, like WiFi calling, visual voicemail, ect.

Odin 3.9 might be too old. I've used Odin 3.11 or higher on the S7 and have never had any issues.

thanks to you it works perfectly but HOME_CSC failed and caused recovery bootloop after that i tried other CSC and it was successful. I've got very upset on V firmware because they deleted a lot of features on galaxy S7. they are worst

I'm still having issues with this latest firmwire. I do get LTE but not network connection. I still have circle with a line through it indicating that I don't have service. the service will come on for a second and then cut out. Service is called "123456".

Did you choose the APN to use? If you are using a Verizon SIM card, then it should give you the option to use Verizon, but you need to select it.

So there's APN settings and Network Operators. I'm actually using a verizon MVNO called boom mobile. If I selected "verizon" network, I get a notification that says " no service - selected netweork verizon not available". The other one's that show up from the selection are ATT, T mobile, and some 310830 thing. None of them work. I use automatic network detection.
As far as APN settings, I do use Verizon and I get LTE data from that. I just don't get the phone service connection.

Yes you can.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was looking into flashing the U firmware for a while and I finally pulled a trigger after seeing this thread.
Everything works well on Verizon and it feels great to have a clean phone & freedom to switch. I think it's worth waiting a little more for Nougat.
p.s. Anyone has an idea on when official G930U Nougat will be released?

Will this work for my AT&T S7 on PJ4 firmware?

jOdin3
hey guys,
this is the first non-nexus phone i've used, and I am excited about flashing the U firmware to get a clean stock experience on my g930v. I was wondering what files i should input in jOdin under the PDA/Bootloader/CSC/Phone fields after I extract the zip file SM-G930U? I have searched tried to watch some insufferable youtube videos on the matter have had no luck finding an answer. Also since I'm asking, is it possible to flash this firmware with jOdin3, sorry for the newbie questions, didn't know where else to go.
Thanks in advance to any helpful replies.
Solved the above, no need for replies.
Next though is when I try and flash using Jodin3 the pit file is acquired, the phone reboots and then it stays disconnected and I am unable to start the process after the phone reboots. Any suggestions?
Solved the above by using heimdall to extact pit.
I am close to giving up and flashing anything via jOdin3 I have tried pretty much everything to flash new firmware with no success, latest error is that there is a corrupt file, need to use Odin file...
HAS ANYONE had success flashing a Verizon S7 on macOS? if so please tell me where to go.

How can I get 930u to 930v?
