Can't Make or Receive Calls and Texts

My brother has had his Shift for over a month now and just recently it stopped making/receiving calls and texts.
The first day he got it, I rooted it (it had 2.2), put CM7 on it, and x99 kernel. This is the same setup my Shift, and my friend's Shift have.
Whenever he tries to make a call it says "Your authentication code could not be verified"
Should I hard reset this, call Sprint, un-root, or what?
Thanks.
PS: I rebooted it, and had it shut off for 30min before turning it back on. Should I do a battery pull? That would be slightly tricky since he has the Otter Box case on it.

You don't have to unroot. Just flash a Sense based Rom. Update your Profile and PRL. Then flash back to CM7. Don't Nand back when your done updating your PRL and Profile. That will just put you back where you were.

Now when I flash a Sense ROM, I need to wipe the data and cache right? Update the stuff, then flash CM7, gapps, and kernel right?
Just wanna make sure.

Correct.. Do a full wipe, data/cache/dalvik (can't hurt to do it multiple times) Flash a Sense ROM and update PRL and Profile. Wipe EVERYTHING again and flash CM7, gapps and kernel.

Ok. So I downloaded the lastest Mik ROM
Wiped the data and cache. Used CWM to install Mik from the SD card.
Updated the Profile and the PRL.
Made a call to my Shift, rung once then gave me the same "Your authentication code could not be verified message again."
What do I need to do?

While your still on a Sense ROM, call Sprint and have them refresh your device.

Well it's just one problem after another.
Text and calls work again. I wiped data and cache, then flashed the ROM, gapps, and the kernel.
But now the Wifi is broken...
Clicking on it just says Error.
Now what?

What ROM and Kernel are you using? Also, try rebooting and see if you still get the error with WiFi

CM 7.0.3.1 and x99.
The same one my phone is using, and the one he was using before. I rebooted and it still just says Error.
I'm going to wipe data/cache, reflash the ROM. Reboot. Wipe cache and flash gapps. Reboot. Wipe cache and flash kernel. Reboot.
That should work then right?

That should work, just when you do a full wipe the first time it's best to wipe a few times. Also, I usually let my ROM settle in just a bit before I flash a custom kernel.

This happened to me a couple of days ago. i was running Cyclonic 1.1. Here are the steps I did to fix it.
1. Made a Backup.
2. Wiped everything (except sd of course).
3. Flashed a sense rom.
4. Chatted with sprint and they fixed it.
5. Then wiped everything again.
6. And finally restored my ROM.
And everything is working fine now.

Is this the same as the "error 16" issue? My sister got a new shift about a week ago, I downgraded, rooted and flashed it to cm7 right away, and it was fine for a couple of days before not letting her call or text, just saying "error 16".
I called sprint, they did something on their end, then it worked for six hours before doing the same thing. I called them again, tech support said he forced a refresh on all the servers the previous tech hadn't, then it was fine again for a day before getting the same issue. Third call, fixed for twelve hours. During the second call I flashed to mikshifted, wiping everything very well beforehand, updated the profile and prl before sprint fixed it and I went back to cm7.
The fourth call fixed it again, but broke 3g data. Phone failed with error 16 again today and the lady at sprint, upon being told that it was running CM7 said that until I put the stock rom back on, it's going to keep having the same problem. I don't think that's right, or no one else would be able to run an aftermarket room. Any ideas, people?

Just flash the latest nightly.

Mystery solved on my error 16 issue, anyway. Turns out when I flashed the froyo engineering build downgrading from 2.3 to be able to root, I didn't realize it downgraded the radios. My super smart boyfriend figured it out, and newer radio has no problem now keeping authenticated with Sprint.
e: never mind, it worked for about two and a half days and then error 16'd repeatedly again. Flashed to x99's stock rom, we'll see what happens there.

Cant call, but can text

It's very strange. I can send/recieve text just fine, i can even use data. Just when I call, I can't hear anything at all even when volume it at its highest. People recieve the calls, but can't hear me. Some thing when people call me. Any I ideas?

Need more information....stock ...rooted....on custom rom if so which one? some have calling issues.

Considering that every ROM in the development section has calling working, I'd say try deleting cache and dalvik and if that doesn't work then re flash.

Well first this happened on SkyICS, but I'd just reflash modem and it'd be okay. Lately I've been on CM9/AOKP and I just now have this problem again, but re flashing the base band just messes it all up. I am on CWM 6, rooted.

i pm'd you, just try the method i gave you on flashing the radio twice, any ics radio, or the one you are on currently, and wiping the caches cant hurt

just flash it on top do it twice to make sure it sticks, maybe wipe the caches

I have the same problem and it's gone unsolved. I've done absolutely everything yet it still happens. The only thing that seems to help is if you power down the phone completely, reboot, open web browser, open gapps, then try and make a call. Because if you try to make a call first thing after a rebbot, nothing, ever. This is the only method I've found that can get me the phone.apk to actually connect a call. There are days I want to smash this phone into a million pieces.

[Q] Fcked LTE???

So my LTE was working fine, then I decided to flash the king kobra rom. I used it for a couple of minutes untill I noticed data wasn't working... So I decided to flash Xi40 rom. Now I noticed I don't have LTE either on this rom... Might KC rom have screwed up something? Or what can I do to fix this???

check apn and also dial *#*#4636#*#* phone info and see if you have lte enabled.

aaaahhhhh i think i wont flash any more roms lolz i hope it doesnt get worse, so far i still have lte... gonna dload the ruu just in case though

So I dont know but my APN seems fine, lte turns on but nothing data related opens... I added another APN from youtube and it worked perfectly but I deleted it cause it was kinda slow, then lte started working fine until this morning when it stopped again... So Im guessing flashing the 1.85 ruu is my way out of this? Will I need to root/bl unlock again?

Yes you'll need to relock BL. Make sure you have superCID before you do that, because once you lock your BL you will be unable to boot the phone unless you flash stock recovery first.

I was having the same issue coming from any 4.0.4 sense based rom . I would lose late all together unless I did *#*#4636#*#* and that would only last until I made/received a phone call. I was able to get it back by
1) wipe cache, dalvich catch, wipe system
2) flash cleanrom 4.0 (maybe and pre-4.0.4 sense rom???)
3) wipe cache, dalvich cache, wipe system
4) flash whatever rom you want and you should be good
This is what worked for me but can't promise it will work for you

well I had flashed a 4.0.3 rom and the problem happened, then i flashed the 2.20 radio and ril and so far its working, but in a near future if it happens (i hope not) u bet thats one of the things ill wanna try before going through the ruu process.. thanks to all who have replied so far!!

[Q] I need help.

I'm not a dev, but it's obvious to me something is wrong.
I re-flashed the eaglesblood ICS rom using clockworkmod recovery v.5.8.1.3 (touch version)
everything seemed okay.
until i started putting apps back on my phone with app backup and restore.
I was getting "process syystem has stopped responding" all over the place.
Then the phone crashed.
it keeps booting, only three apps seem to be running that show themselves in the taskbar, Groove IP, GV SMS integration, and Battery Notifier (Big Text)
It sits there, one one of the home screens, LW animating slowly as it will.. then the phone reboots for no reason.
I installed 4 or 5 different logcat apps but i can't make heads or tails of them
and adb logcat > logcat.txt just spits out this :
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
dmesg spits out the log i'm attaching.
Can anyone help me? If i can save the log from one of the logcat apps, will that help?
I'd rather not have to reflash and re-install apps AGAIN.

Where you flashing EB 4.0.4 from gingerbread ?
In any case a full wipe and reflash of the ROMs would work fine. Then reflash the appropriate gapps, But when restoring the apps using TB just restore at apps and not their data. They sometimes don't play well.
I had a similar issue when I tried flashing the 4.2 gapps on 4.1.2 keyboard would crash everytime and any app that uses even one of the google services would crash right away.
I cleared dalvic cache did a dirty flash over my existing 4.1.2 , reflashed the 4.1.2 gapps then I fixed permissions and in was good to go.

so a dirty reflash and fix permissions might help?
Funny enough, after posting that, and hitting reboot on CWM recovery.. the phone came up with the cord plugged in, and seems to be stable for now.
Uhm. i was flashing from.... heck if i know, i've tried a bunch of roms.
the phone INITIALLY was 2.3.4

*grumble* damn sun-downer phone. SO all night it was crashing.. So i finally got irritated when i went to bed, yanked the battery out and plopped it on my night-stand by my fan.
This morning i put the battery in, turn it on, and it seems stable.
What the heck?!

logs.
So... between all the log apps i've played with i have a bunch of logs.. if anyone could look them over and tell me if they see a problem, i'd appreciate it.

Re-download Rom+Gapps
Place on SD card
Re-nvflash cwm recovery 5.0.2.0
Wipe data/cache/davlk/battstats/format system
Install rom+gapps
Wipe cache/davlk/battstats
Fix permissions
Reboot
Using touch is sometimes buggy, 5.0.2.0 is most stable. Restoring apps/data is sometimes a messes things up.

Seriously at a loss for what has been happening with my phone.

Ive been having some issues pop up with my phone in the last few weeks. Sorry but be prepared for a lengthy post haha.
It all started in Dec with the OTA of JB. After than my Maps/Nav constantly force close. I am not the only one with this issue because looking at recent reviews of Maps in the Play store, a lot of GS3 users are experiencing it too.
I made this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115108 to try and see if there was a fix. Never solved the problem.
My friend was running the latest AOKP Milestone ROM and said his Maps/Nav worked fine. So I rooted, bootloader, recovery and flashed AOKP Milestone. Well Maps/Nav still didnt work. Found out my friend never installed the official OTA to JB and went from ICS to AOKP. So it only lead me further to believe that it was something with the update.
Figured I would wait it out till there was a fix, until I started having another issue. I use Handcent as my primary SMS app. All of the sudden one day my notification ringtone stops working. Was working fine then poof doesnt work. Tried redoing all the settings and got nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled nothing. Cleared cache, uninstall/reinstall nothing.
So now with this problem persisting for a few days I got sick of it. Thought I should be able to flash an MD5 thru Odin back to ICS, get Maps/Nav working (along with txt tones) and then flash to AOKP. First I flashed I535VRALF2 and Maps/Nav worked fine, flashed AOKP and didnt work. So today I flashed I535VRALG1 and again Maps/Nav/Txt worked fine. Flashed back to AOKP and Maps/Nav didnt work, BUT txt tones did (for a while). Driving from home to work (15mins) somehow my txt tones stopped working again!
Between each flash I would factory reset/wipe cache/dav data ect. Not sure why these problems are being so persistent. Even on the last time back to ICS, I wiped everything in CWM and booted the phone AND did a factory reset from within the phone settings.
Anyone have any ideas? Did accepting the JB OTA just perma F me on Maps/Nav?

No ideas?

I don't run aokp but found this in the faq on rootz: "Fix permissions in CWMR.Uninstall maps updates/clear cache and data."
No idea if it will help but it won't hurt to try.

Ya I tried that already and it didnt work
And Ive also tried running older versions of Maps as well with no results

Try doing a superwipe. Completely erases internal memory. I know some roms have the option, specifically synergy to my knowledge. It is also available as a zip. Just make sure everything on internal you want to save it backed up to external or a computer. A fresh wipe can do wonders.

I did (I think haha). I installed a fresh MD5 thru Odin, then once my phone booted, I used the internal factory reset option to completely wipe the internal storage. Or is that not the same thing?

Try running the mega wipe zip with the Rom on external sd. If you are restoring
Apps, do so without data first to see if everything works.

Will it work on the GS3? That thread is for the Note2
And im running the latest touch CWM and that thread is a bit confusing, it says:
Requirements: You need to have
1. TWRP Recovery installed

Just copy the required zip to your External SDcard and reboot into CWM recovery. Install the zip and you are good to go!

It says you have to have TWRP recovery but then says boot into CWM, so not sure what to think.

any more ideas?

Anyone else?
