My Phone Number, PRL, MIN all say unknown. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Running AOKP Milestone 6, with Kexec CWM, b00sted v002 kernel. I just loaded the VRLG1 modem via ODIN. My phone number, MIN, and PRL all say unknown. My phone seems to function as normal i.e receives, and sends calls, 4G works etc. but I don't think it stated everything as unknown before. Is this a kexec thing? I'm just trying to figure out if this is a side affect of something and to be disregarded. Thanks.

I have the same issue with AOKP ROM. Any solution?

there is nothing you can do to really fix this... it isnt because of kexec, because i think cm9 and cm10 dont have this issue. you will just have to wait until beanstown106 fixes it i guess

Is your imei missing as well? Hopefully you made a backup, if not you might want to follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802024

Actually no, everything is fine except those two, MIN and Phone number. I did backup of IMEI a while a go just in case from the link you provided, but my IMEI is fine.

First you aren't on Synergy 1.7. You are on nightly r50. There is a major difference.
Second, I am running that nightly as well and wifi works just fine.
The most likely culprit is that you still have a locked bootloader. The rom dev stated in the thread the WiFi controllers are in the rom kernel. If your bootloader is locked then it won't install the kernel and it would have said that in the install results.
If you want wifi to work then you need to unlock your bootloader and then reinstall the nightly.
Edit: not to be a jerk, but you really shouldn't just go flashing things without doing your research and knowing exactly what you are flashing, specific requirements, and possible bugs. You are lucky the rom devs just implemented the script to check for an unlocked bootloader or you would have soft bricked your device and had to Odin back to stock.

Might try a clean "factory reset" and reflash. I would do the same and go with the latest nightly r.50 I think. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked.

Factory reset won't help most likely. Non working wifi is a sign the bootloader isn't unlocked as stated by the devs. There really is no reason it wouldn't work otherwise.
If it is unlocked already, he should check MD5 of his download and ensure that is correct. If he came from a different rom all together then he definitely should have factory reset to begin with, but that should go without saying.

[Q] No cellular wireless signal after Cyanogenmod 9 - ICS on i897

Not getting a cell phone signal at all on my Captivate. very rarely I get it and it stays on until I reboot for some reason, or sometimes goes off on its own. No problem with wi-fi or anything else.
Have had Gingerbread 2.3.5 - KK4 (official) for a long time, and did not have this problem. Here is what I did:
Installed Cyanogenmod 9.0 (ICS 4.0.4) on my Captivate that had the stock Gingerbread KK4. Also installed the gapps-ics package from 29 April 2012
I did this after rooting, and installing clockworkmod.
Even updated it to Cyanogenmod 9.1, but have the same issues.
More detail on it:
- The cellular radio shows no signal, but Wifi is on fine.
- When I press the power button, I see the power off and reboot options, including one that says "Airplane Mode is ON", although it clearly isn't since Wifi is working
- A couple of times, I rebooted into recovery, and did a "repair permissions" and rebooted, and it got a signal, but does not happen always
- Once the signal is on, it stays on for the whole day, but goes off again after a reboot
- Turning Airplane mode on and off does not help
Is this a modem issue, that seems to be a popular problem. It's almost as if there is a software bug that fools the phone into switching off wireless radio
Please help me fix it, or share successful fixes
I had same problem when I went to helly bean then back to remics-jb I flashed back to stock then back up to what I wanted it fixed the problem so I think its the modem.

KOROCK is right
So were you able to fix? I had a similar problem as well; I made the mistake of putting cm9.1 on and it bricked because I followed the instructions that popped up when I thought I had flashed it correctly. I tried everything; this is my daily driver so I had no choice but to find a fix, and find it fast as my clients were unable to get a hold of me for a few hours.... Anyways, got a little off track; but did you fix?

A little search/reading goes a long way.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
KK4 is what you'll want to go back to stock but I highly suggest you read this before you do anything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Also, before returning to stock, you could try flashing a different modem.
Check to see if your baseband is still there. If it said "Unknown", you need to restore it. CM9 is supposed to have the modem.bin file included though. Check to see if the /radio folder have modem.bin in it, if it does, and the baseband still say Uknown, then manually delete the modem.bin, do a wipe and reflash a CM rom that have modem.bin included.
If Baseband is still there and still no signal, then check to see if IMEI is corrupted or lost (if its null or doesn't match the back of the phone). You can either copy over the efs backup folder if you have one and "fix permission" in CWM. If not, then you need to ODIN the phone to stock to fix it.

[Q] Service is toggling after flashing JB on i727

I have two questions 1) is my only way to fix this to go back to stock ICS using ODIN? 2) Once i get back to that, what do i do in order to get to a working version of JB? is it as simple as trying another ROM? Is it ok to skip ICS and just flash another version of JB?
Background if you want it....
Followed vincon guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1773659
Started with Stock ATT 4.0.4
CWM via odin
baseb: UCLI3
I flashed JB [ROM] [4.1.2] [UCLL3] Stock Debloat to my i727 last night. Everything went seemingly smooth, everything worked with a strange exception being my exchange account wouldn't authenticate.Today my service is off about 95% of the time, then it will come on and ill get a text or two, then it goes off. voice calls dont work at all. LTE data is hit or miss.WiFi works
In phone status under network type its toggling: UTMS:3 to HSPA:11 to HSPAP15 to no service...then it drops everything and service state will say out of service and disconnected.
My IMEI is correct, I confirmed that.
It tried dialing the *#*#XXXX#*#* thing, that just said no connection and ended.
I started to go down the path of looking to flash a new radio, but that just doesn't seem like the answer to me... obviously the risk of me being wrong is high. i did check the MD5 numbers on other radios though and they came back as mismatched, so i did nothing there.
Also i wiped cache 3 times, as well as dalvek
Is there a simple solution that Ive missed or do i need to go to stock via ODIN? What, if anything, did i do wrong>
If you didn't flash corresponding UCLL3 baseband - AFAIK intermittent service is expected.
If you need to flash baseband - flash the latest UXUMA7 baseband.
Well i've actually had the exact same problem, in several variations and on several androids and here's my conclusions:
1 Magnetic storms and grid issues with the carrier. There's not much to do about these, except maybe for a making a tin hat for your phone. But, on a second thought this would also kill the signal
2 If the issue persists for more than a couple of days then the other thing for me was = radios that just didn't work with my carrier or rom. Changing these showed instant results.
I actually had this exact problem but for me it was on the carrier end. I tried every ROM and radio out there to no avail. After about a month and my parents also experiencing the issue, we called the carrier and they had it fixed in about two weeks.

What radio are you using? You should be using UCMC1.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I have a similar issue. I've been running the March 23rd version of AoKp with no problems. However, I recently tried to install the latest version and my phone will not connect to the Rogers network (connects briefly during start up, then drops, this trend repeats infinitely). Even when I do get some bars of connectivity, it never actually registers with the network, so I cannot send/receive calls, sms, etc. All other functions work fine. Also of note; after first reboot after installing ROMs, all the correct APN's are there and it seems to default to Rogers LTE which is good, however never actually connects. Then, after a subsequent reboot, all APN's are missing and I cannot manually add any (when I save them, they don't actually save).
I've tried installing the latest version of CM - same issue
Tried flashing different radios to no avail (running UCMC1 currently)
Luckily I'm always able to restore my backup to that March 23rd version AoKp which still works without issue. My next step is to revert back to stock ROM and either stick with that or try installing a fresh custom following that.
Any idea what the issue is???
I'm seeing the same issue as well on AT&T.
I tried reverting back to the regular Cyanogenmod Rom, but I'm seeing the issue where the radio keeps dropping and connecting back every few seconds.
I'm on baseband UCLI3. Is that the best version to use?

[Q] SMS won't send. Can receive/send MMS calls and Data

The Problem/Symptoms: I've been running a version of last CM10.2 for the past year. On February 20th, I was able to send a single SMS and then subsequent texts failed. I could still receive SMS, send/receive MMS, send/receive calls and send/receive data. If I toggle airplane mode/reboot I can send another SMS and then subsequent sms are undeliverable.
What wont work: Flashing to CM11 does not change the issue.
Disabling Voice+ does not change the issue
Factory Reset does not change the issue
Workarounds: Toggle Airplane mode
Switching Mobile Network to CDMA only (not permanent)
Change your number to a different area code
Going back to a Touchwiz based ROM
The Solution
net-cat said:
Alright. I think I've refined my process and it results in having a newer radio as well as not having to ODIN things or do dd commands.
NOTE: This isn't fully tested. When I did this, my phone wasn't showing the issue. I did this after doing my original procedure, but the GPS stopped working after I updated the radio from VRALF2 to VRBMB1. You shouldn't need to do the original procedure for this to work, but I haven't tested that. At the very least, the original procedure still works and this one can be used afterward if you need the newer radio. (GSM support...)
Ideally, we'll want to get to a procedure that doesn't use ODIN or dd. Hopefully this is a step in that direction.
Requirements:
A rooted stock ROM of the VRUCML1/4.3 vintage. I used Scott's Stock Rooted Knox Free VRUCML1 - 4.3 - DeOdex - V2. (Thread here.)
VRBMB1 AIO Flash, available here. (Thread here.)
I'm going to assume you know how to boot into and use recovery.
NOTE: Do NOT let the stock ROM install any updates.
Starting with my CM11 M3 install, I did a nandroid backup. (Recovery is CWM Touch 6.0.4.5, but I doubt that matters.)
Flash the VRBMB1 AIO.
Wipe data and cache.
Flash the stock ROM.
Boot into the stock ROM.
The reprovisioning seems to happen as a part of ROM's initial boot up.
Send a few text messages to test. (I sent them to Twitter.)
Launch the Maps application, turn on your GPS and let it get a lock. If you don't, when you boot back into your ROM, you probably won't have working GPS.
This would be a good time to back up your IMEI if you haven't already done so.
Reboot into your recovery, wipe data/cache and restore your nandroid backup.
At this point, you'll be running your preferred ROM with a less archaic radio than my previous post.
DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR RADIO. The moment I upgraded my radio, the problem came back!
CM11 M3 will work just fine with the old radio. I've rebooted several times over the last few hours and it still works fine. (Time will tell if it's a long term fix or not.)

If this does/doesn't work for you please post and let the community know. Feel free to hit the thanks button if it works for you.
This exact thing happened to me. I tried many fixes with no luck. After hours of hacking around in settings, I found a ROM of verizon's 4.3 OTA update and flashed that through ODIN. My texts are working just fine again. Kind of a cheap method of fixing my problem. I wish I could have taken more time to find a fix, but I needed to be able to communicate with people that day.
Stock 4.3 is kind of lame:
-4.3 is killing my battery faster than ever. CM11 had me going for days without charging and now I've needed to charge everyday.
-Stock 4.3 is laggier/slower than CM11. It tends to stutter for me.
-4.3 came with a new boot loader which no developers have exploited to install custom ROMs yet. This leaves you stuck with Verizon bloat. I hate all these damn apps. Going to try to safe root & see if I can't do some cleanup work.
Enough ranting. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone with this problem. Hopefully someone will figure it out. Missing my cyanogen mod already
It seems this problem has happened on other phones also running Cyanogenmod. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654822
It looks like the symptoms have all showed up at the same time approximately. (February 19th, 2014). Still looking for a better answer than going back to stock TW...
Edit: And another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659280 This one suggests its all AOSP roms. But it seems many people are unaffected... I don't understand why/how.

SO this is the current status that I know.
The problem happens for everyone with a 570/717 area codes + on verizon + running Cyanogenmod (possibly any AOSP) + while connected to LTE which started on Feb 20th (the day before KitKat came out offically).
Current Workarounds:
Switch to TouchWiz based Roms
Switch your radios to be CDMA only
Call verizon and switch your number to a different area code
I know the workarounds all suck but that all I know for now. Switching SIM cards won't work. If I anyone knows anything more please feel free to let me know.

I have still be unable to find a solution for this issue. I think I have to give up on CM and go back to a TW based. If I hear anything new I'll update the post but I don't have the time to be wasting on my phone at the moment. If someone finds or hears of a fix or if it magically goes away as it started, please post it.
And spread the word if there are any other ROMs that this is occurring on. It seems the pool of those affected is just too small.

It won't. It isn't software dependent. People who had already flashed builds prior to the 20th magically had issues starting on that date, so it isn't a problem with new builds, and it only happens to those in the 717-570 areas so it isn't a problem with AOSP code. It has to be a Verizon network issue, I just have no idea how.

I have run TW base roms almost 100% of the time. Prior to the 20th, I had flashed cm11 3 or 4 times to see if camera worked and was never on it more than a day. I also had issues where music in my sd card wasn't being found but it was fine on TW. Could it be the unified build causing an issue? I have no issues on Clean Rom 8, wicked sensations or old and slows stock based roms.
*Edit* I have installed Gummy and CM 11 with PA Mini Modular apps and the CM Gapps from Invisiblek, let it set up. I then shut it down, removed battery and sim and then put everything back in and still the same issue. 1st text message goes through, then the rest after that just fail. I tried regular message app, Hangouts and Verizon messaging. All same results. I go back to my CR8 backup and all is fine. It's bizarre because everything else seems to be working fine and is very fast & smooth.

It can't be an issue with the unified builds because going back and flashing an older build yields the same results. If you're willing to make the trade-off, you can set your phone to CDMA only. Texts will send, but you'll have no 3G or 4G.
I'm ok with using CR8, Beans or other stock roms. Can't see paying for LTE and not using it lol. Was curious to see how aosp has been coming along and sms was really the only issue I was having.
