problems with RUU

I downloaded the ruu and ran it a while back before I had installed the custom recovery image and it gave me no trouble. I just tried to run it again, and it keeps telling me either my phone is not connected or it has less than 30% battery which it clearly does not. I have since delted all drivers and re-installed and it is giving me the same errors. Any ideas?

what OS are you running?

I had that issue initially and trying it again after a nandroid restore, it's stuck at verifying information on your android phone. please wait.... =T

I'm getting the exact same.
Currently running MoCaDo's 1.1 CDMA rom.
Actually, I went ahead and just backed up to my orig after I rooted so I can install the update.

[Q] Mistake upgrading phone?

Earlier I was upgrading to gingerbread through kies mini. Something popped up on my phone and interrupted the process. Now whenever I try to upgrade my phone it says the firmware is up to date. My phone is still running 2.2.1. Any idea how to fix this? I already tried flashing to a stock rom again.

Tried it, still isn't working.

Called Samsung and after trying everything they wanted me to send in my phone. Since that would mean 2 weeks without my phone I just downloaded the firmware and updated through odin. Oh well least I got it now....quite nice. I'm a fan

Flash the stock tar.md5 from here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=scH-i535
Whatever you flashed put a custom kernel on there, and that's why you get that message.

I have tried to odin stock and then wipe. still showing no data connection, and same thing when I put my wifes sim in. IM thinkiing it has something to do with the dual boot i had set up before. is there a way to repartion the internal sd card or emmc?

This seems to be happening to a lot of people flashing AOSP ROMs....this is why they warn you they are not responsible for what happens to your phone...especially with Betas.
There are many threads on this and several on how to get a workaround until someone figures out how to fix this.
Try doing a search on losing IMEI or roaming after flashing CM10...it is happening a lot...that is why I am just using rooted stock with VZW apps and TW frozen.

this problem I was having with no data or radio in CM10.
I used ODIN to go back to stock rooted (root 66).
When I did that I was boot looping in the puking rainbows 4GLTE boot animation.
I eventually figured out how to fix that by booting into recovery (press volume up, home button, and power button at the same time till phone boots). I then did a wipe data/factory reset.
My phone then booted fine into stock root.
I then proceeded to punch in *2767*3855# into my dialer immediately when I got stock root working. That did some sort of a factory reset / format. It all happened so quick I could barely read what it told me. The phone rebooted after a while.
I then downloaded EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3 app from the Play store.
I installed the custom recovery from Dhacker's CM10 post over on the droidhive forums using EZ recovery.
I also downloaded the CM10 file to flash and the Jelly Bean Google Apps file.
Rebooted into recovery, Wiped data/cache/dalvik.
Installed the CM10 file.
Installed the Jelly Bean apps.
Reboot.
Profit.
I now have a largely functional CM10 (as far as I can tell there are some camera issues). Data 3G/4G is working, so are calls and text and everything is dandy.

Did the *27 bla bla thing posted above and back to normal. Thanks everyone

RESOLVED! [Q] No network access after trying to install Cyanogenmod. Phone dead now.

I tried to install the latest and greatest version of cyanogenmod this morning but once it got to the activating part, it would not activate. I tried it a couple times, rebooted, wiped, installed and tried again, but nothing was working.
So, I had enough and wiped everything and restored my previous ROM's backup (CleanROM).
But now, even CleanROM can't connect to the mobile network. When I try to do the *228 thing, I first got an error something about a invalid SIM card. So, I rebooted and now the error message says "A Verizon Wireless SIM card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities".
What's weird about that is that it doesn't even call, just pops up that message and I still have no network!
Could it be possible that have the wrong radio now? Anyone know what it's supposed to be and where to download the correct one?
Right now: I535VRLG7
What the f happened? What did cyanogenmod do to my phone??? Please help, my phone is dead in the water at this point.

Was it 10.1.0.1? I tried flashing it myself and data would not work either, first time ever happened to me since running CM. Apparently others are having issues with it as well reading the thread on the dev section. I restored my backup of 10.1.0 and it was fine again thankfully. Also you aren't supposed to *228 on a 4G phone, might want to do a search but others have said that can mess up your phone as well.

Yes, that's the version I was trying to install.
I created a backup of CleanROM that I was running before flashing, but that's not working now either. Network is dead for me.

I am having the exact same issue. Flashed the newest "stable" build of CM 10 and now the phone won't activate. Flashed CM10 RC5 and phone won't activate. Installed my backup I made before I flashed and it will not make/receive calls either. I tried searching the g+ community but did not see anything.:crying:

I'm on I535VRBMB1, but I was on I535VRLG7 for some reason. Upgrading did not help.

Welp, going to have to Odin back to stock. Nothing has worked. It's dead. Time to bring it to stock and have Verizon fix or replace it. Thanks cyanogenmod!

I hope I don't have to do that also. I posted in the cm g+ community and I'm waiting on an answer atm. Jumped in irc chat but got no help.

Found this post on G+. Looks like it is a known issue that a radio didn't make it into the build.

No need to take your phone back to verizon.....The way to fix it is to Odin back to I535VRALF2. Once stock dial *2767*3855# let it do it's thing when it finishes reboot. After that 4G will be back. Re root and flash CM 10.1.0 NOT 10.1.0.1

Well an update on this. I flashed MIUIv5 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232800 and it booted up and worked like a champ. From there I booted back into CWM and wiped, etc and installed a fresh RC5 and gapps. When the phone booted up the phone would take calls but would force close. From here I booted back into CWM, again wiped and then installed my RC5 backup I made this morning that was working and crossed my fingers. Well when the phone booted up it is working 100%!
I guess my question is what did 10.1.0.1 break that a flash to MIUIv5 fix?

Same issue. I had to wipe everything, format everything (maybe wasn't needed), flashed the newest nightly, latest baseband (something something F1), and gApps of course. I then had to check the "mobile network" settings and change it to SIM card (instead of NV) then reboot, and it worked.
The "stable" builds have been less stable than the nightlies lately, dunno why...

i'm also having this issue guys, I've noticed that my imei is 0. I've tried punching in the codes to get the utility, but can't get anything working...totally lost

RESOLVED!
It was a PITA, but I got 4G back with CM!
This is how I did it, but be forewarned that your device will be wiped, and it will not be a quick fix.
I first used this post (Section 5) to Odin back to stock.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Once I was back to stock, the network was still not working. So I dialed "*2767*3855#", it did something, rebooted and then 4G worked!
After that, I was able to follow the same guide from above (Section 1) to root the device, unlock the bootloader and install a recovery.
Once I was at that point, I installed CM from recovery. I had wanted to install the cm stable version 10.1.0, however I failed to copy that to my SD card before I started this whole process.
I had just moved and don't have many of my "tools" (i.e. sd adapters), so I couldn't even download it on my computer and copy it over. Oh, I also performed a factory wipe at this point as well as format the davlik and system...oops. So, yeah, couldn't simply boot it back up easily to copy the files over...got ahead of myself.
Anyways, I kept my fingers crossed and installed the only one that was on the sd card which was the nightly from 6/29. The good news is that worked!
I have since installed the latest nightly (6/30), because why the heck not? I was already on the previous, so it "shouldn't" hurt, right????
Nope, didn't hurt!
So, now I am running the latest nightly with full network access!
Whew, what a pain! Hope this helps you guys!

Thanks!

I'm on vacation and tried to flash 10.1.0.1 and got hosed on the the radio connection. Nothing would work. Found an old nightly, 6/21 I believe, on my external SD card. Flashed that bad boy and I'm up and running again. Will do more trouble shooting when I get home in a few weeks and have my PC in front of me.

Back to RC5
I had a similar issue, upgraded to 10.1.01 and lost all data connectivity. Wiped clean and tried to upgrade again, then I could not get past the network activation screen.
Wiped and went back to a backup of RC5 and it restarted with less issues, but I still needed to go and correct the Mobile Network RUIM/SIM settings before I got data back.
RC5 has been solid, so I'm going to stick to it until there's a fix for 10.1.01.

this didnt work for me

Bootloop and can't reset

OK, my S6 (verizon) locked up today and immediately went into bootloop. I've tried wiping cache, i've tried wiping system/data, i've tried factory reset. It'll either lock up doing that, or it will complete and then go right back into the boot loop.
I tried using ODIN to flash the stock rom but i get the error: SW REV CHECK FAIL Device: 4 Binary:1
If I boot into recovery, it always starts at "Installing system update" (this was before I tried to update the stock rom or anything) and sometimes it will lock up doing that, sometimes i'll get into recovery, but as I've said so far nothing has gotten my phone into a useable state.
I tried KIES 3, but it just complains that my device is not supported.
Any suggestions will be hugely appreciated, this phone is only a year old and I really can't afford to replace it out of pocket.
Thanks!!

Kies3 doesn't supports S6 I guess. Use smart switch.

you can do emergency initialization with smart switch, instructions below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/how-to-smart-switch-emergency-t3383448

Thank you for replies. Smart switch is telling me my SN is invalid, it is the IMEI number from the phone, and I've confirmed there were no typoes. I did finally get ODIN to work with a newer firmware, but after updating the phone just returns to a bootloop. I'm thinking its a hardware issue at this point.

Did you enter the model number correctly i.e. SM-G920V or so?. Not really familiar with smart switch. Used once without issue.

Yes, it accepted the model number and yes it was correct.

hi, did you try downloading the official 6.0.1 firmware the n flash it using odin. try flashing BL and AP, the bootloop cause might be because of your bootloader, imho

I had already tried flashing AP. After reading your suggestions i tried flashing BL as well. Now it gets to the red Verizon screen (which is new, it was bootlooping before it got there) but it just hangs there now. The "pluse" in the Verizon V logo keeps going, so its not completely locked up, but it never actually boots.
At this point I think i need to just replace it but I'll still accept any suggestions on things to try if anyone has any thoughts!
I appreciate all the help already provided.

im sorry to hear that mattbooty, lets not loose hope, how about downloading an old 5.1.1 bootloader and 5.1.1 official firmware for your phone variant. make sure that the bootloader goes to BL and the firmware goes to AP. , btw BL and AP should be both checked in odin before starting to flash the phone. Im sure this has something to do with bootloader img

OK, so after the last post, i did another factory reset from within the recovery options (this is after odin flashing BL and AP) and this time it got past the Verizon screen and to the new android setup screen!
I'm working on setting it up now and fingers crossed it doesn't lock up and go back into boot loop. I will update.

nice to know that my post was helpful mattbooty, btw did you downgrade to 5.1.1 just like what i've told you?

I didn't, that was using the 6.0.1 firmware. I had tried that firmware originally but was given an error "SW REV CHECK FAIL".
Prior to the phone bootlooping originally I had noticed it started locking up every now and then. Since getting it working again (for an hour or so) it has already locked up once, but it did boot right back up this time. Fingers crossed that doesn't mean its going to start bootlooping again soon.
thanks again for all the assistance.
