I have a problem that I was not able to find anywhere here. I am not able to get 4g at all even in areas I know I get 4g in. I have tried changing the mobile networks, flashing the newest radios, reinstalling Rom 3 times and have not been able to fix it. Any ideas anyone?

Right now I am on EHRPD - Verizon Wireless, but I have tried changing it to LTE - Verizon Wireless. After about a minute it seems to change back by itself because when I check it, it is back at EHRPD. Ideas?
APN is VZWINTERNET for both EHRPD and LTE and that seems weird to me.
Did you flash a PRL?

PRL is Preferred Roaming List. Its a file that tells your device which towers to connect to.

Ah I see, but I haven't flashed any of those. I've read in other threads that there's no reason to change from Verizon's rpl. Do you think differently?

I was able to fix* my problem
*I had to factory reset the phone from within the OS so I lost root and possibly unlocked bootloader. Gonna go do that again and try the ROM again.

A factory wipe should not relock the bootloader.

Yea I just ran the unlock app and it showed as unlocked. I apparently am still rooted as well. I thought I would have to root for sure. Hopefully now any custom ROMS I install will show 4G.
Any time you do a factory wipe, all you do is delete all the data and settings, but it doesn't touch the kernel or bootloader, so if you have a custom rooted ROM and you factory reset, you will still start up into a rooted custom ROM, but with all blank settings/apps etc...

I have this same problem, but it happened to me after I had lost my IMEI and then manually injected it myself. I've ready tried reprovisioning about 3 times, but to no avail. Idk if our problem is caused by the same thing or not, but it is extremely bothersome, isn't it? I wish some genius could help us

I didn't do anything with the IMEI except back it up using the terminal emulator and the "reboot nvbackup" command. Not even sure if it did anything or not. How do you reprovision the phone? What does that even [claim to] do? A google search shows a lot of people complaining about this. I hope someone comes along and helps too.

If you reprovision, it will wipe all your data and such. Idk if you wanna try it. I only tried it because someone suggested it, but it was pointless. So, if you were gonna try that, you would want to nandroid backup first. The way to reprovision if you're interested is dial *2767*3855# that'll do the trick for you. I hope someone comes along to help as well. After a while some fix usually comes around. Just gotta be patient sometimes

Interesting. I wonder what the reprovisioning actually does. I didn't flash CWM yet since I'm running the stock bootloader, and it is locked. I heard that unlocking the bootloader can cause trouble if an OTA update changes things on it.

I would suggest that you just download ROM Manager from the app store, open it up, and at the very top it will say flash clockwork mod recovery. Hit that and it should be a done deal. Let me know if you have any problems

About data/signal issue, that's not your IMEI. It more than likely is your sim card. I had to get 2 replacements from Verizon due to a weak signal. Another simple thing to try is to be sure data roaming is ON in the settings menu, and restart. That is known to work. Rooting prob did not cause this to happen, the S3 has signal issues to begin with. Do not start running scripts to attempt to fix without going through the verizon fixes first. Stay on stock rom, hide your root apps and bring in to get sim card. They won't check for root.
Plan B is to call *611 and speak to someone, they can push a signal code through to fix. Don't say your rooted!

Oh but we shall see what happens when I change towers. To compare, and diagnose this issue, how is your phone setup. Mine is as follows:
Purchased at: Small business authorized reseller
Contract: On contract
Purchase date: 9/5/12 (opened a new account, not adding a line)
OS/ROM: Stock 4.0.4
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader: Locked (had it unlocked temporarily to see if I could do it, but I relocked it to diagnose the data issue)
Recovery: CWM
ICS Encryption: Not turned on (I don't think I can use it now that I have CWM installed anyway)
Apps that run at boot: Call Recorder by Skvalex
Root apps installed: SuperUser (duh), Rom Manager, CallRecorder, Terminal Emulator (used it to execute "reboot nvbackup" as a supposed IMEI backup method)

So far all I've done is "reboot nvbackup" to supposedly backup my IMEI, but I have no idea if it did anything. I'll double check data roaming, but I don't want to rack up a roaming bill. Also I don't have to worry about my store finding out if I root. The sales guy helped me root it before I even paid for it.
The guy I dealt with helped with root questions for me too at actually vzw store... Funny! Sim should do the trick. And yes, that script you ran backed your IMEI correctly, so it's not that. Data roaming is to see if it improves issue, if it does, your having network issues that are not phone related. There is no reason to keep that option on unless your lost in the woods and need data!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954331 I had this happen last week and this is what fixed it for me.
This morning I woke up to my phone telling me that there was an update to install. I have installed cwm and rooted my phone but am still on the stock rom (less buggy than others) so the update wont work. Does anybody know what this update is, Could it be the JB update? I was just curious if it was worth taking my phone back to stock to do the update?

this is to fix mms messaging on metropcs flashed verizon galaxy s3. place zip on sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash the zip then reboot. once phone boots up go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, access point names. you will see lte-verizon internet apn click on it to activate apn then reboot. once booted back up send yourself a mms message, it may hang on sending/pending if so turn on airplane mode, then turn off airplane mode and all should be good. this was tested on 4.1.2 with verizon sim in the phone. with non-verizon sim or no sim in had to use apn manager to activate apn

Verizon phones usually are factory unlocked but that doesn't matter for flashing it that only matters if u want to put it on metropcs gsm. As for flashing its basically the same but verizon u will prob have to enable hidden menu and when u flash connect to it send spc and set it to nv only then reboot then reconnect write prl and flash as normal
