I'm fairly new to ROMs (this is my second). I have followed the instructions and successfully installed the ROM, modem, and update.
2 questions:
1) Wifi does not work (will not turn on). I had wifi problems on my last ROM. I have reinstalled this ROM numerous times today thinking something must have failed since wifi does not work. This seems to be unique to me since I can't find anything in the thread regarding wifi problems. Any suggestions?
I've gone so far as to use darkside superwipe as suggested in a different thread. Still can't get wifi to turn on (just sits with "Turning Wi-Fi on..." message on screen). Never errors out, just stays like that.
2) ROM Manager: Fix permissions fails. I get the following error when I select fix permissions: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for the help!
You should post your question in the ROM thread. The developer (seanscreamz) or one of the other testers will see it and be able to address your problem and help you out.
I can't post in the Dev section yet. 6 more posts and I will ask there.
starting over...
Ok, I figured I might as well make sure that my wifi woes are not a hardware issue. I've reverted back to stock Skyrocket OS to make sure wifi is available and working in stock form.
Following this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348, I reverted to stock and I can confirm that wifi works in stock form.
I've also reformatted my sd card in case there is any chance a corruption on it would cause my problems.
Now going to reinstall SkyICS...

Are you on CWM touch?
have you went into the busybox app and clicked install?
wifi broken again
I have followed these instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 to regain root. After getting root, I installed ROM Manager and selected "Fix Permissions". On reboot, I lost the ability to connect via wifi.
Did I miss a step?
Thanks again for holding a n00b's hand!

john: I'm sure you mean well, but I don't know what your intent was with your posted link.
crazyD: digging your avatar. I'm currently trying to decide between a G26 and XD9sc...
btw, installed and ran busybox. not sure what it did for me. I also updated ROM manager to latest. Accidentally initiated a backup from ROM manager. Will see if wifi is back after that has completed.
Edit: wifi still errors, won't connect. I'm not clear what steps I may have missed or screwed up between being stock to rooted. I will revert back to stock again and try again...
Are you running juice defender? Its giving me problems with my wifi connection!

I'm not running Juice Defender. At this point, I'm trying to revert back to stock form again with working wifi.
Edit: ok, reverted back to stock by doing the following
1) reboot into CWM recovery
2) factory reset x3
3) clear cache x3
4) format system x3
5) clear dalvik x3
6) format emmc x3
7) restart and pull battery
8) boot into download mode
9) push stock tar (k0kane) via Odin3 v1.85
I now have wifi again!
So now I get to try to get back to SU and CWM without losing wifi...wish me luck.
still have wifi!
OK, rooted and CWM installed. I still have wifi, which is good. I'm afraid to select 'Fix Permissions' for fear that will break my wifi.
I'm going to install Sky ICS now and see what happens.
sky ics and wifi!
OK, It took a few attempts, but I now have SKY ICS installed and wifi is still working.
I've installed the base ROM and the modem...not the updated yet. My download speeds are terrible, but at least I have wifi. I think the data speeds get better on the update.
Sean's instructions say to let the phone "cache and settle". I have no idea what that means...so will try to wait 10 minutes or so before installing the update.

My uneducated guess with the data speeds is the modem for UCLE2. I haven't had the chance to go to LTE on SKYICS yet, but data is definitely slower on "4g" networks.

quick update
Here is a quick update:
I spent some time redownloading all my apps and in general setting up the phone. I then ran the SKY-ICS update. Everything seemed to be working great.
As an added bonus, the email app in SKY-ICS syncs with my employer's exchange server! Which is so awesome. The stock ROM, and the last gingerbread ROM I had on the Skyrocket would not connect to our exchange server. I was very pleasantly surprised by that functionality.
I then lost wifi again. Wifi seems to be unpredictable and I'm not sure if it is hardware or software related. I again have wifi this morning, but didn't for the last two days. Also, my phone won't restart, it appears to get stuck in a powerdown state.The haptic buttons stay lit, but the screen is blank. I have to pull the battery to get it to restart.
But overall, I'm very happy with the performance and functionality of SKY-ICS. I will do some digging on the restart problem.
I installed beanstown rom in clockwork recovery and everything was working fine. I then decided to try the latest synergy rom and everything worked great as well untill I realized that I could no longer respond to text messages. I did flash the text message bug fixer in clockwork ahead of time. I also noticed that I couldn't make any phone calls. I then restored my previous backup with beanstown rom and problem carried over.
Any ideas?

Go into your system settings ---> About Device ---> Status, and see if your IMEI number is a 0 or a whole bunch of numbers.

Im downloading it now. I am away from home and using a slow hotel internet. This phone has some very large files compared to my old Droid X. I got about 40 mins to go on my download and in the meantime keep trying everything possible and trying to find someone else that had a similar issue.

Okay so used odin with back to stock unrooted file and after it came up I could make a call but data was stuck at 1x with no 3g. I wiped data/factory reset and now I am not getting data, phone or text to work.
I have since tried to reseat the sim card and rebooted numerous times.
Anything else that might work? I can't find anyone else that had a similar problem online and am now thinking I gotta take my phone to the verizon store tomorrow and possibly get a new sim card.
So I'm totally at a loss of where to go or what to even search for.
I have a verizon Galaxy s3 that I rooted and unlocked the bootloader on. I flashed a couple ROMs and now it won't connect to the network. It tells me it is in roaming mode only. I called verizon, but they said to just return the phone because it won't talk to their network.
I've read some things about "triangle away" and I kind of tried that. But it kept telling me that my flash count was 0 anyway. So it didn't do anything.
My IMEI and ICCID are correct to my sim card and phone. I originally flashed CM10 for the verizon s3 and it worked great for a few weeks. Then I tried a couple others and they worked also. Then I flashed the euroskank ROM, and that's when it no longer would connect. I went back to a previous nandroid, and still no connecting.
I don't know what the problem is, or what to search for, or where to go.
Should I try to install a stock rom. I know I keep seeing things about odin and installing the stock rom. Should I do that? That's something I haven't tried yet.
So, I tried reprovisioning the phone with *2767*3855#
And when I did that, it said sorry, your phone is not yet activated.
But I know it is, or, at least was activated. And when I call verizon they tell me it has been activated already. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock
Same Problem
Flashed CM10.1 nightly just to test it out and then boom, no more connection. On any ROM. Scariest part? I have gone through the restore process and am now back to an unrooted phone with out of the box firmware. I believe I will take it back to Verizon now and see if they will give me a new one.

So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

Well that's good to know that you got it back working again. Sounds like it might be just be the ROM and not anything weird that we did to cause the loss of connectivity.
Thanks nertskull
Thanks nertskull, I had this problem after trying to downgrade from CM10.1 to CM10 and was stuck. I tried so many different methods and nothing worked until this one, thanks so much!

I had the an issue with my phone stuck roaming and this method worked great! Only problem I came across was trying to run Samsungs update for Jelly Bean, Every time I attempted to update my phone would crash and go back to ICS. Luckily I had a back up so I wiped my phone, restored from my previous backup (which had Jelly Bean) and worked without roaming issues!
My input is if your having roaming issues is to use a backup you made before you had the roaming issue. Follow this tutorial above to get your phone back to stock, root your phone, then restore from your backup through CWM or whatever you are using.
I am not too sure what causes the roaming issue but I did notice while looking for networks, my phone found ATT ad TMobile haha.I am assuming what happened was that the Cyanogenmod update I was downloading automatically was set for another carry which changed my wireless settings. I will be downloading nightly's manually for now on lol
Thanks for this fix, Saved me a lot of time and aggression

My S3 is having the same issue after a CM10 modification. Reflashing to a stock ROM fails, wiping and reflashing fails, trying a different rom on cwm fails, no backups to flash to (all result in error). So I stumbled upon this thread, read about reprovisioning, and I took it to mean input the numeric code into the phone dialer. I did that, and nothing happened. Can anyone provide insight on reprovision and how to do it? Google search on reprovision isn't giving me any hints.
If the reprovision is just failing and I've been doing it right, does anyone have any other suggestions? Really hoping my phone isn't soft-bricked with no ability to call/text.

Hey guys, when you provision does it wipe the entire phone, including the SD card? (internal SD card and external SD card)
stuck...
I tried all the above, stock, radios, kernels, codes, ##RTN#, none of it works, my radio works cause i tried 911 and it jumped on roaming and began to make call at which point of course i hung up before letting it connect any words of wisdom... at this point just a tablet for wifi

I have a galaxy note 2 on Verizon. This used to happen to me on CM 10.1 first stages but issue got fixed as the nightlies started. It only happened to me when I sometimes rebooted the phone or when the battery completely drained from 100-0% then when I would charge it and boot the phone it would show me an x and no signal bars. I would have to restore to a TW rom to get it to activate again but going into settings and switching to CDMA/LTE mode. Now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 2.99beta ROM and it still gives me that issue. Hopefully soon it will be fixed.:fingers-crossed:

Thank you buddy,
This helped me get my phone back in working order -- For those of you wondering why the "*2767*3855# is not working is because you are using the wrong flash. You must use "Official VRALG1 4.0.4" - and currently the link is down on the thread - I just googled it and found it elsewhere. I tried one of the other OTA's and it would not work. Also, do exactly as netskull described - even regarding the antenna. When using VRALG1 4.04 - The second i entered the last "hashtag (#)" it popped up another screen which helped get my phone working. I did not have to press send or anything. Kind of sucks that I lost all data on my internal card, but I DID back it up and now I will have to go through and restore. Since some people were wondering -- It did not mess with anything on the external card... It did unroot my device, however, so I will have to do that again as well.
For some reason, flashing the latest MIUI messed up my phone and put it in roaming all the time. Oh well, happy i got it working, and subscribed . Thanks once again Nertskull.
I've figured out how to fix it! First, I went to Section 5 of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 thread and odin-ed back to stock. Next I fixed my IMEI using a guide I found on xda. It was the second part of thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117 thread that says "IMEI is already corrupt".
Next, I did a bunch of things that I don't think I should have done and I ended up with a soft brick phone so I went and flashed back to stock via odin by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 guide. I don't really know if it was necessary and I ended up getting stuck on the activation screen. If at any time you can not get past the activation screen, the third post down from here shows how to get past it so you could go to your settings and check them out or unlock your bootloader or whatever it is you need to do. But this whole part may not be necessary.
This is the part that I think completely fixed the phone. Probably the most important part of this whole guide. You have to dial *2767*3855# from a completely stock rom (root66 or others). It factory reset my phone and somehow the calls work, although it always says I'm roaming
A couple days ago I rooted my s3 and flashed the CM10.1 ROM. It had problems with mobile data and connecting to 4G and phone calls, so I tried out a bunch of different ROMs before deciding it had to be something else.
I figured out that my IMEI had been erased and since I didn't have it backed up (and I have no idea where my nandroid backup is or what happened to it) I had to manually restore it using some NV items reader writer tool and some other similar tool. It worked but there was something else, I think it was called ERI, was set to none. I kept trying stuff and ended up doing a factory reset. I attempted to unroot my S3, I have no idea if I succeeded in unrooting.
What I just did was soft brick my s3, not completely sure how, but I did then re flash root66 using odin successfully and now I'm back to the activation screen. Now it is stuck trying to activate the phone, but it fails every-time, and I can't do anything but restart the phone. So I restart the phone and have to go through the set up screen again and it tries to re-activate but fails and goes through the whole thing again.
Could someone please help me?
According to the Verizon website the phone is activated.
Update 8:24 PM EST: I have gotten past the activation screen but it says that the phone is out of service and when I try to call someone it says that the "mobile network is not available". Please help.
Since nobody is here to answer me, I will post the answer once I figure out what to do, just in case somebody in the future has the same problem.
I'm going to start by re-rooting my phone. I'll let you know how that goes and if anybody else could help me out that would be great. Thanks.
UPDATE 7:45PM EST:
I successfully re rooted the phone via odin and tried to start it up to no avail. Next I tried to flash a ROM, but I must have forgotten to unlock the bootloader since I couldn't even get the phone to boot completely. Right now I'm flashing back to the vzw root66 rom and then I'm going to re root and try to unlock the boot loader.
UPDATE 8:07PM EST:
I finally figured out how to get past the activation screen and I unlocked my bootloader. Before I flash AOKP I'm going to see if I could fix everything else. I think I'm pretty close to a solution. If anybody else is having the same problem send me a message or reply here, I'll try to answer your questions if you let me know what you've done.
I really just need a way past the activation screen. After that I think I could figure out what to do.
Sorry your having problems. I wish I could help but never ran into that problem so everything you said went over my head otherwise I would of fine a lot of research. At least now you are learning more and more.I just figured I would respond since no one else did.Good luck.

In case someone else has this problem...When I flashed pure 4.2.1, I couldnt get past activation and then found out how to bypass the screen. Tap once in each corner of the screen to bypass activation screen. Then once at home screen go to settings>more(right below WiFi/Bluetooth/data)>mobile networks>CDMA subscription. NV will be selected, change it to RUIM/SIM. Reboot phone. Worked perfectly for me.

Thanks for this post. I ran into the same problem (flashing CM 10.1) with my first S3 phone but did not know how to fix it (wish I saw your post ahead of time). I returned phone to stock via Odin and was able to exchange for a second S3 phone via Verizon (since I have phone insurance). I flashed AOKP ms 1 (jb 4.1.2) on second S3 phone and noticed it was hanging on activation and also said no mobile network when trying to make a call. Luckily, the phone spontaneously rebooted on its own and then started working. Previous to my first S3 phone, I had a Galaxy Nexus. Never ran into any problems with the Galaxy Nexus and almost tempted to go back to it since the S3 seems buggy when flashing a new rom. I am afraid I'm going to brick yet another S3 and be out $400 since I don't think phone insurance will allow me to exchange a second time since this probably alert them to the fact that I'm flashing custom roms.
Also, under mobile networks>system select be sure to change from home to automatic. Reboot.

All was working fine until I tried to do this. At first nothing was selected and everything was working, but when I tried selecting automatic and rebooted it selected home for me and it is impossible to change back to automatic without it automatically changing it back to home against my will.
I was running the latest stable version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and all was going well until someone sent me a text message and I tried to respond. I was greeted with the error of message not sent. I attempted to text someone else to have the same error. Attempting to call someone will just hang and eventually say call failed.
I thought it was a radio issue so attempted to flash different modems but had the same result. So I restored my previous rom Beans 11 that was working after wiping and the same issue. Data works perfect, but voice and text does not. I searched and odin'd back to stock VRLG1 and entered *2767*3855# in hopes of that fixing the problem, again no voice/text.
Any suggestions further help? I don't know what else to try!
*CM10.1 was working fine, and then calls/texting stopped but data continued to work without trouble.
*IMEI seems to be intact
*Flashed backup of known working rom and issue still persists
*Flashed back to VRLG1 and attempted *2767*3855# as per another post to no avail and this is where I sit.
Same thing. Installed jellybeans 12 now I can't call or text. Prior text was hit and miss some days....restored stock rooted image flashed other Roms....no help. Dialed the ** number....so screwed. Ayneegry should have backed up my few several times. No idea what to do.

When you say "Data" do you mean wifi or 3g/4g? If you have no phone/text/3g/4g then it's probably your imei. Check under phone settings, see if it's gone. If it's gone you gotta restore, do a search.
If you have 3g/4g then I don't know what the problem is. Sorry, just trying to help
Odin back to ICS and reprovision your phone by going into the dialer and typing *2767*3855#
rgrossie - data as in 3G/4G works no problem... phone showed IMEI still there but followed a thread to restore it anyway to make sure that wasn't the issue...
Edgehood -- I've tried that, and that's where I currently sit, stock ICS with 4G data but doing the re-provision doesn't seem to fix anything -- occasionally a text will slip through, but I'm unable to reply

I hear ya, if I can't figure out what's up, I'll end up having to go back to verizon and see what I can do... It was out of the blue, everything was working and then suddenly it just stopped. Happened on a flash that was a little over a day old, so who knows.
Check Mobile network
I have thiss problem happen occasionally when I flash custom roms. Look under your mobile networks, see if either CDMA/SIM is checked or NV. If NV is checked switch to CDMA/SIM and then reboot. That seems to fix that problem most of the time.
Edit: After some tests found out this doesn't always stick, but I did find out that after switching from NV to CDMA/SIM turn on airplane mode so the radios are tunred off, wait a few moments, then turn airplane mode off. That worked more consistently than restarting it.

Did you ever fix this? I currently have the same problem and have no idea what to do.
i had the same problem but a imei/efs restore fixed it. My imei was not missing but data worked and not calls or text. Changed sim and still same, even odined back to stock and unlockex and rooted no luck restored nandroid no luck. Then restored synergy imei/efs backup and good to go. Hope it helps.
Cruzin' tha Galaxy SIII via Obsessed Rom / "INAPPROPRIATE" Kernel
I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

If you Odin back to the original stock unroofed ROM, you'd have to take all the ota Verizon updates to vmf1. Then reset your phone.
Pain in the a$$ but has always worked for me. I had same problem running carbon.
I read in another post that Odin back to root66, them reset your phone would work too.
