No data randomly

Just got my GS3 yesterday. Rooted before I paid for it I'm running the stock OS with root but I seem to lose my data connection constantly. It stays lost until I toggle airplane mode. Any way to fix this? Thanks

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

Thanks. That worked, and I now have CWM installed. I also did a backup to internal SD. Is the SGS3 like the Galaxy Nexus? (Meaning that even rooted, the stock OS will overwrite CWM with the default bootloader)

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!

I have to disagree, this will not help. Color Green is trying to check for OTA's via Settings/About Phone/Software Update
Color Green, why are you trying to do a software update on a custom rom? Scrosler (CleanRom dev) removed the file that allows you to check for Verizon OTA's. Pretty much every dev does something similar. This happens on purpose so you do not receive constant OTA prompts. If you want a software update, Odin to stock and accept them. No custom rom will allow you to successfully update via OTA.

Ahh ok. The file that was removed is "sdm1.0" and there's possibly another file as well. Even if that file was present and you were able to "receive" an OTA prompt, it would fail because you have a custom recovery installed. That same custom recovery you used to flash CleanRom is the same one preventing Verizon OTA's from automatically installing.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Never ever OTA on a custom ROM.
Just like previous guy said, if you want to OTA you need to Odin back to stock. There a guide in the development section called "how to root and more" or something. Follow section 6 of that guide to Odin. It's a very simple process. I'm pretty sure you lose root, boot loader gets locked and your custom recovery goes away.

yeah....you'll have to wait for the dev to cook in the 4.2 upgrades......the first ones to ever get the upgrades implemented is AOSP/AOKP roms because they're essentially barebones android, but with some added tweaks
in the case of the jump from 4.1.1/4.1.2 to 4.2, not much is being added except for the new camera with fully functioning libs, fully upgraded gapps, a new 4.2 keyboard w/ gesture typing, and a few other things as well as polishing up things that are already present that needed polishing from 4.1.1

[Q] Questions about rooting Verizon Galaxy S3

Hello all,
I have a couple questions regarding rooting my phone
i have a fully stock vrz sgs3 and the only thing ive done to it is loaded a different launcher (nova prime). i want to root my phone so that i can backup everything ive downloaded onto it (contacts, pictures, but most importantly EVERY app ive downloaded) and also slap a rom on there for some unique customizations (was thinking CM10).
I suppose my first question would be, in the process of rooting my phone, will it wipe any/all data and leave the phone like it was when i first open the box?
and if it doesn't, will i be able to backup everything with a backup app (and also which one would be highest on people's lists) before i start getting that rom on there and going nuts making my phone my own?
thank you very much for everyones time and help with this!
happy new year!
slainte!

If you use the one click root method(http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=159) which by the way is way easier and faster than Odin, you won't lose any of your data, afterwards you will download Titanium backup to backup all of your apps, I'm not sure if there's another app out there but trust me this is the one EVERYONE uses and the best one. Then download EZ-recovery(from the app store) and install the custom recovery CWM using the app itself and download EZ-unlock 1.2 (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/) since 1.4 is buggy, and press unlock to unlock the bootloader and then you can flash all the ROMs you want. You MUST have the bootloader unlock to flash custom ROMs/kernels and remember to always factory reset/wipe cache and dalvik and format system when flashing and don't ever flash a ROM from another carrier because it will brick your device.
Good luck.

You woo not lose your data doing it. Also, as a friendly tip download triangle away because this root method will trip your flash counter. Also, I HIGHLY recommend not downloading or following guides from other sites besides here and root, and maybe a select other few. Seen way to many bricks by following random guides.

Make sure you follow the root guide according to what software you are running. The ICS method does not work for Jellybean. Rooting will not wipe your data but flashing a ROM will. Just do a Nandroid backup in clock work mod (CWM) thats backs up your data with your ROM as well. You can download Titanium Backup to back up your apps. Sms backup will back up your txts and call logs.

Well put couldn't have said it better,
I would not jump right into an ASOP like CM10 for my first flash, you might want to start with a TouchWiz based rom like Clean rom first. AOSP roms in general take a few more steps to install and still have some occasional issues (data drops, getting stuck in roaming, and loosing IMEI (no data) any of which could lead to a day of anxiety and localized baldness (hair pulling)
I hope you know what your getting into.....You will never be satisfied with a stock rom again :laugh:

so i tried to do the root method you mention in the first part of your response, and it asked me if the uid and the gid are set to 0. there were not prompts for me to change the values of these id's so i assumed they were not set to 0 when the cmd asked me.
can you please advise on how to get these set to 0?
thank you!

Just check in the prompt, even if it's right it'll ask you, it'll say they're values in the prompt.

Question
What is the difference between using the EZ-Bootloader or using Goomanager for TWRP?
I am not a fan of using apps just for the sake of it and having 3 of the same on my phone. I have seen people use Goomanager for TWRP, EZ-Bootloader and Rom Manager. All I want is one...so is there an advantage or disadvantage to using TWRP and uninstalling EZ-Boatloader?

EZ-Recovery has the the old TWRP preloaded last I saw but can load latest on sd card and use the app to install it. Goo Manager downloads the latest TWRP directly and installs. Rom Manager is for CWM.

Question on using the OTA update in Beans

Hey all,
Tried to post this in the beans thread but I apparently do not have enough posts, I usually lurk rather than post so I guess I'll have to change that.
I've been an avid flasher for a while and made the switch to beans with build 13, about a week before build 14 came out. I usually do a full wipe when installing a ROM, but it's a bit of a pain setting up various authenticators again.
I'm pretty sure if I OTA to build 15 that I won't have to set up everything again, but I'm worried that dirty flashing that way will cause issues.
Does anyone have any advice? I pretty much use this as my primary phone and don't want to put it out of commission by doing anything wrong.
Thanks.

Devs usually recommend a full wipe and flash. Having the OTA notification is a way to inform you there's a new build out.

Ah, that makes sense.
So anyway, I use Titanium Backup but despite following directions online, I always have to redo my authenticators, right now everything I'm using works off of the Google Authenticator app.
Is there a way for me to keep all the authentication information on the phone between flashes? Last time I went from CleanROM to Beans, it didn't work so well.

That I don't know, I haven't tested any of them.
They should be included in the main page description or I would search each thread individually for an answer to that.

Why is it when I try to install certain custom roms I get no connection on my play store? I am on 4.1.2 mf1 I have tried resetting my time clearing cache etc.

No idea.
It's probably an issue with your Google account. I would try erasing it completely and re-adding it. You could also try flashing a custom playstore or installing a different one to see if you can fix the problem.
It isn't rom related.

It was mentioned a long time ago, I'd search the q&a section. There are a few threads directly related to that issue.

I have and tried everything that was mentioned. It has something to do with gapps. I never had this problem before.

I appreciate that but I tried this method and it did not work. It is something simple I believe I am overlooking.

I really did search about this problem. I do not just ask questions because I am too lazy to search and read. Lol btw I appreciate this list. Looks good csnt wait to try some of these once I get my gapps working.

Did you find one that does? I've just traded for a gs3 that already had taken the 4.3 OTA. I did get root using Saferoot but I can't get wireless tether app to work. I've searched for 3 days and can't find how to make it work. TIA

yeah bro. foxfi wireless tether works.
there is a free version and a paid version though.
there are 2 annoying things.
1 it's not free
2 it forces you to "lock" your phone with a password/pattern/or pin number.

So are any AOSP roms supported with safestrap? I'm looking at the download list and it's just modified TW roms.
My brother took the OTA, but is now interested in switching to AOSP and I wanted to make sure it was even possible.

If you read the description it tells of a way to keep certificate without the lock protection. I can verify that it works.
