Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my phone where I belive it thinks it is on the Verizon network. After searching the forums, I did a complete odin 2.2 reflash as instructed by the sticky, and although the software works, I only get data if roaming data is selected and signal if it is set to use other networks.
This all happened after flashing it to CM7 and realizing I had no data. I made sure that I flashed the correct zip for the mesmerize and am just confused on what to do next.
i was hoping to do a *228 update and just have them update towers but when i call it it says "welcome to verizon" blah blah blah...
Since I have gone back to stock 2.2 EE19, my phone is no longer rooted. I just can't afford a huge roaming charge on my bill. How do I get it to think I am back on USC? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here the solution!! t go Back USCELLULAR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881064
was thinking the same thing...
Actually, I've already done that with all three of the options for the full restore. Even after it finishes, I have no data and if I do *228 the verizon wireless lady comes on the line.
Any other guesses?

Haha, yes I actually was thinking that when I first tried the *228. Unfortunately, I live in St. Louis and although we don't have great USC data speed, I get there network everywhere. I'm running out of idea. I was hoping someone had dealt with this issue before.
I would flash the rfs formatter from cwr and then Odin full ee19 with repartition. If you do not flash a rom immediately after rfs it want boot up. Pull battery and get in download mode run Odin. There is a thread @ rootzwiki about rfs. Good luck

When I Odin the full EE19, should I have the Re-Partition box checked or unchecked? There seems to be some confusion.
Well I went ahead and flashed the rfs formatter, and then without rebooting pulled the batter and Odin the full EE19 files. Booted up but now I have no connection at all, roaming or not. I am not sure how this even happened. I think I need serious help lol.
Have it checked. After you flash rfs reboot phone. When it gets to samsung logo pull battery then flash full ee19 with reparation selected. You should be good to go.

You can flash rfs then pnp or h57 all from cwr. Then you could run Odin back to stock.

I know this is a dumb question but what CWM should I be using? I do have to root each time right? as I cannot flash the rfs file from the stock recovery? and also although it says install successful after doing rfs, it is one of those only takes 2 secs to install so I am not sure I'm installing correctly. I have tried CWM3 and 4. Thank you for your help.
The red cwr2.5 that you can Odin is good enough for that. I don't think you have to root. If the rfs doesn't work akellar may be right about you being in a dead zone..
You may have to root I can't remember. It's late here on east coast.
And yea the rfs takes 2 secs

Thanks for all your help. I'll keep working on it and try it a few more times. I can't see being in a deadzone here in the suburbs. My sisters Desire has almost full signal right next to my phone, and i've always had signal before this in my house. It's acting as if it isn't even searching for towers. NO bars at all and just a blue cirlce with a line through it. I've gone through all the phone settings as well to make sure I should be connected to a mobile network. Thanks again and i'll post back if I figure something out.
Final Update for the night. I'm not sure what is going on exactly here.
Anyways I rooted, and Installed CM7 from the 7/21 updated
The phone will now get a signal with Home only network selected.
I can only get data with International Roaming enabled.
Selecting automatic or something else other than home will disable signal.
National Roaming is irrelevant.
I am not leaving the country or state anytime soon.
I am on a USC belief plan. Will I incurr charges for using this 3g since I am thinking it is Verizon?
Calling *228 contacts Verizon's Activation Services.
How is it that it thinks i'm on Verizon, and No longer in whatever country i'm supposed to be on?
Something else you can try.
Odin back to stock.
Install ADW.Launcher and long press on the homescreen to make a custom shortcut
ADW -> Custom Shortcut -> Pick your Activity -> Activities -> com.android.hiddenmenu -> DATA(.DEBUGMENU)
Then switch the HDR/1x setting down to cdma only, exit the menu, wait
You should get connection in a few seconds (If you don't, check that you aren't home only in the roaming settings menu)
Go back in and switch to hybrid to get 3G data mode again.
I copied the instructions from another thread where a guy was having similar issues.

Well a whole day of trying various things finally leads to calling USC. I talked to two different technical support people and neither had seen this issue on the mesmerize. Since the phone isn't very old they are replacing it for free as a factory defect under warranty. It is Odin back to stock EE19 2.2.1. Is there anyway they could try to pin this on me when I send this phone in? Obviously I reformatted my sd card and the phone has no visible signs of water damage.
When I had this happen to me while messing with MIUI using EE19 didn’t work for me. I was never able to get it to boot period. I was stuck in 2.5 recoveries with errors.
I flashed rfs then 2.1 with repartition checked then flashed EC10 with repartition checked and then was able to get the phone to boot normally after that I had to do the ADW hidden menu deal.
Then I used Kies mini to get to EE19.

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

I just tried it coming from GB NexusMod 4 and just got the boot loop as well. It is a little tricky getting back into recovery - you only get about a second in the CWM menu before the phone spontaneously reboots.

Performed it fine here with zero issue.
If your cwm is acting up, may be lot more going on here.
I suggest a return to stock
Reflash cwm
Then flash this build.
Wish I could say more but UN able to see or confirm your issue.

Tmo
Hey, great base.
I have flashed this, the leak and a few other ics roms. On this rom I cannot get my phone to hook up to tmo 4g, edge works fine, but it wont jump from edge to 4g. I tried flashing a tmo radio but no dice.
The leak worked fine in that regard. Consistently connected to highest available signal.
what can I tweak in order to re-establish connection to tmo 4g.
I tried to go into mobile network settings and all of the settings there seem consistent with the stock tmo settings. But when i try to change network operator settings from automatic to manual it never gets past "searching"
Thanks for any help you might be able to lend
Also, i think this guy should credit The Collective.

I have an s3 that I flashed to CM10, AOKP 6 and I also tried synergy. I cannot seem to get LTE on the first 2 adn with synergy, I can only get it by using the phone info thing and switching to an LTE ONLY mode. I noticed when I was stock I didnt see it going to LTE either. is this a problem with it switching over or what? When I try to switch to the LTE ONLY mode on the other 2 roms, I get no connection at all.
Any ideas? Is the phone toast? I am an experienced flasher, as I am coming from a galaxy nexus lte and am a crack flasher. Before each rom, I wiped data, cache, dalvik and system.
anyone have ideas? I am at a loss.
thanks
edit: I also noticed that on CM10 and AOKP the activation fails, and I can skip it. My phone number shows up as unknown but I have an IMEI number

I'm having the same problem, I think. When I switch to an LTE option in phone info, it doesn't stay that option. it goes back to CDMA auto.
Can you just go to the verizon store and ask for a new one? Do they need to see your phone or anything like that, that will tell them its rooted?

I was afraid and flashed back to stock before taking it in, but the sim card thing is common. so just say you were told by customer service to come in and get a new sim and they will set you up. if you dont feel like going to the store, customer service will overnight you one, pretty much no questions asked. so its no big deal
This is a common problem... i had it too with synergy 1.2. The phone info app was stuck gets stuck on cdma . I had to flash the stock image through odin and flash synergy again. No new sim cards are required

Check your baseband then head to

When it happened to me i was running synergy (LG1-radio)...jellybomb theme..so there must be an issue there . i think its the jellybomb theme since it was made for sprint users

Pop up dialer, type *2767*3855#
and it will reset your 4G by fixing the SIM card - and immediately reboot. I've had the problem twice, and both times this key sequence fixed it. :highfive:
So a friend of mine was having the same issue. No 4G in an area I know he has full 4G signal. I reflashed the unrooted stock image in Odin (he was already stock, rooted, unlocked with cwm 6.xx) and still no dice. I tried flashing both radios, no dice. Also tried the dialing above to reset everything, nothing. Finally I gave up and told him to take it in into a store and they replaced the sim card and it worked! We then rerooted, unlocked, flashed cwm and all was good.
However, I asked him what all he had originally done after getting the phone so that we could try to take it step by step and see what caused it. I installed TiBu and lucky patcher as he had previously done (I don't condone pirating, espeically this great app but I wanted to try and recreate the issue) and it broke it, no 4G! I think the culprit was lucky patcher; I highly doubt TiBu could cause it as I have had no trouble with it. Only other rooted app he installed was adblock but again, I use this all the time with no troubles. I told him to just pay for the app! But I am still interested if anyone else might have had the same issue so we could try to prevent it for others? Any of you above who lost 4G did you by chance use lucky patcher?
Edit: Also, i noticed that I put the phone in 4G LTE only mode using phone info the 4G LTE symbol pops up but there are no signal bars. However, it appears as if there is signal since data speeds work fine and at normal LTE for this area so just the bars are screwed up, and then something with the hand off when switching back to normal off LTE only? Anyone else exeriencing this or have you tried to see if you actually have LTE even though you have no bars?
Same crap on my white 16gb gs3. Ridiculous data connections.

I have a replacement coming. They sent it a week ago and I got it yesterday and they sent me a nexus. Maybe its a sign to go back to the good ol gnex. They resent a gs3 so if the new one doesn't fix it I'm going to keep the gnex they sent and cut my loss

One of the reasons I came to Verizon was because in the basement where I work, they were the only carrier to get signal (runs off Sprint apparently).
Now, I'm running AOKP4 with VRLHE modem and I can no longer get signal. It just has an empty right triangle with the roaming R above it. Any ideas???:crying::crying:
To clarify, I do get signal outside of work. Just that inside, when I used to be able to get on extended, it no longer works.
If I flash back to F2 (I think was the stock modem), would think help my issue?
It could. Modems act differently. Now that u mention that I lost reception last night in a place that I never have before and I flashed the new modem like two days ago. If u try flashing back let me know if it works.

I had the exact same problem awhile back. I had to Odin back to stock and reprovision my phone by dialing *2767*3855# in order to get connected to extended network again. Dialing the code will wipe your phone if you choose to try that.
Flashing the modem didn't work. Looks like Odin is the next step.

Guys I've tried searching and tried damn near anything I can think of/find here on XDA and other sites.
Over the weekend I got a little sick of my GPS not locking on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535. I was running CleanRom 7 and I believe I was on MB1 - I could be wrong on the basebad that I was on.
Anyways, after doing my normal reading to see what the latest and greatest things going on are I decided I wanted to do a complete wipe like I'd done in the past, update to MF1 firmware, update my radio to ML1, then put a fresh install of CleamRom 7 on there.
So I used to did a format of my external SD then a factory wipe/reset & cache wipe in CWR. I then went directly into Odin mode (Home Button/Volume Down/Power) and flashed the root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2.7z from this thread. I installed EzUnlocker and RomManager. I unlocked the phone, then flashed CWR. I first did a factory wipe/reset, I then flashed the MF1 firmware, followed by the ML1 radio, and finally Clean Rom 7.
Everything was fine except my 4G LTE would not turn on - 3G works fine but no 4G LTE. I've tried everything I could possibly think of. I've flashed to the prerooted MA2 linked above in Odin. I've tried the 2-3 suggestions in this thread, I've tried making my own APN settings, I've tried the thread which has links for people who are returning their phone to Verizon (plain jane stock). Nothing. All of those bring me the same result: Everything works perfectly fine, but the 4G LTE never shows up. It doesn't matter where I am - I know it is not a network outtage as people in the office have no issues and I always have a connection here and at home.
I've already ordered a new SIM card which should show up tomorrow but did I miss anything? I tried everything I could think of. As of right now I'm back at square one where I'd gone back to MA2, flashed MF1 + ML2 firmware, and back on Clean Rom 7. Stuck with 3G. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Just Odin flashed the VRALG1 4.0 ICS to bring it back to stock found here in Section 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. Still no luck.
Am I correct in saying when flashing that it is also flashing the modem/firmware? I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
I had the same problem not too long ago. My issue was the PRL usually 4G PRL starts with 15xxx but if you go into settings-->about phone-->status you should check to see whether it is a 15xxx or 3xxxx. If the latter a new sim card should fix it right up.
