I have an issue when I flash any Aosp rom. After initial install I have strong 4G but if I reboot phone for any reason I lose all data. My imei is there and phone number is there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

sounds like your on the fringe of strong lte coverage...the latest ril commits were suppose to help this. might try the latest pa or aokp build.
I'm on liquid rc5 right now and data is excellent. I haven't tried a reboot though. I'm wondering if it might make a difference if I reboot through recovery. Just a thought, maybe I'm just grabbing at straws, but this issue makes roms like paranoid kinda useless. Thanks for the reply.

i have been using paranoid since 2.13 and its been flawless when im in strong lte...never rebooted and lost data. if you toggle airplane mode on/off it wont come back?
Not sure, but I've never tried. I'm kinda new to this as this is my first rooted device, and im kinda learning as I go. I was on beans 13, then 14, but i can't resist trying out all these jb builds. I will give the airplane mode toggle a try. Thanks

I have the same issue with the new builds of JB ROMs. I do a clean wipe of everything and I flash the ROM, but when it boots in the beginning, I can sign into my gmail with data (even when I'm connected) and I have to use WiFi. Then when everything boots, I have no data and still connected to data (showing 3g) I do a reboot and it works for awhile and it goes out again. So I just went back to Beans14

I'm on liquid rc5 right now and everything seems to be working. But if I were to reboot my phone will not connect to data. The 4G icon pops up but never turns blue, and if I try Google Now or something else that requires a data it says no Internet connection. I have to be doing something wrong.?

Maybe shut the phone off, remove sim card, and turn on without the sim card then shut phone off and put sim card back and turn phone back on. That might help.

It has worked for me on 2 GS3's. I was on stock TW though, I don't know if that'll make a difference.. it has something to do with updating your PRL or something like that, I can't really remember exactly what it updates. But it did work for me, it actually gave me better service.

Ok cool ill give it a shot. I'm really hoping that it works. Because some of these pa builds are really nice, and I'd probably use liquid rc5 as a daily if I could reboot my phone and have a data come to back.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Hey man thanks. That actually worked, I'm not sure if my service is better but it came back after I shut down and did that procedure. I appreciate the help. I might actually be able to run one of those pa. Builds now.

i tried the same method as well too, but it didnt work for me. i dont know whats wrong, i think its just my phone because when i flash any AOSP rom, it doesnt connect to data after reboot. i do 3x wipes and what not but still nothing, my IMEI and phone number is all there so i dont know what it is. anyone have a idea??

I'm having an issue changing ROMs. I was originally a CM user, but I've been running Evervolv for the last few months. I decided to flash CM again yesterday. Everything seemed to work fine for a bit, until I turned off the wifi and realized I wasn't getting a 3G signal.
I tried rebooting, reflashing, messing with the settings for quite awhile and nothing seemed to help. Eventually I decided to wipe again and flash a Sense ROM. I STILL could not get a 3G signal. After much experimenting I wiped again and flashed Evervolv back onto the phone. Much to my dismay, no 3G.
Finally I restored my nandroid backup I made before I loaded CM and surprisingly everything works just fine again and the 3G is back to normal. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I'm not a noob at flashing ROMs, I've had a few different ones on the Shift and tried many on the Hero before that, but I must be making a silly mistake somewhere.
If anyone has any ideas or can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
Unsure but evervovle had messed up my phone to when I first got my phone, i had to RUU just to reset... So I'm gonna say unless someone else offers a viable option, hit the 2.2 RUU

Thanks thronnos. If no one else seems to know the cause of this I'll give that a shot.
You said you nand back and now 3G is working.. So if you flash a fresh ROM now does 3G continue working or only while using the nand??
I tried to flash another ROM this morning, 3G still didn't work. Had to nand back again to get it to work.

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!

Hey there, I have a similar issue, also running liquid smooth, where the infuse restarts and boot loops until I press the power button, then it starts up normally.
First I thought it was Pandora because it restarted when pressed on it but it also happens when I just text. It seems random. I have almost no apps installed and performed cache, davlik, data wipes before flashing the Rom.
I have around two reboots a day, and the battery drain it's pretty high, sometime when it restarts from the boot loop I have lost 3 or 4 percent of the battery just by rebooting... any ideas?!

I'm having the same issue. I've got data, but can't make phone calls.
I've tried using Odin to flash a stock rom and still have the same results.
What version of CM did you flash to get it working?
I was using the 10.1.0 from the cm website. They have the new 10.1.0.1 release up now and I have not used that. Everything worked. Just flashed back this morning because I like bonestock rom features
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yup
I went ahead and flashed CM 10.1.0.1 along with the MF1 firmware just a little bit ago and I was having a constant no SIM error. Couldn't get it fixed, wiped everything but the external SD and tired again, changed the LTE mode back, still no go. So I ultimately just flashed back to my backup of CleanROM and rolled back to the MB1 firmware for my cameras sake.
I'll just wait until some more of the bugs get ironed out. I really miss having stable AOSP on my Droid Incredible, I was on CM7 from its initial release till retirement and beyond.
It seems like its kind of a hit or miss type of deal. Some phones work just fine, others, not so much.

Same problem, its just the "stable releases" are jacked up. Flash a nightly and the baseband (and google apps) and you'll be fine.
Oh, and go into settings and change SIM mode from NV to SIM, then reboot. You'll be good to go.

You may have to Odin all the way back and reprovision your phone. I haven't done it but I may because right now my Google play only works on a few roms and its bugging the mess out of me. My S3 was rooted and unlocked when I got it so I've never had to Odin before but I'm so sick of Google play store no connection on certain roms.

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. I posted yesterday with same problem.
Questions: (trying to trouble shoot)
1 - which version of CarbonRom were you guys running?
2 - and which Recovery were you using? If TWRP, did you happen to update to 2.6.3.0 recently?
What happened to me: running carbonrom 20130913. Updated to twrp 2.6.3.0 (from 2600) >> boinked voice, but my data and text works.
What did not work: nandroid all my backups (synergy, beanstown, cleanrom) = did not solve problem. clean wipe/format and re-install (cleanrom/synergy) = no dice.
What worked:
1 - Odin back to stock (unroot, locked the bootloader) -- refer to the first thread in this forum for how-to.
2 - Took all of the OTA updates by verizon all the way to most recent update (I think 5 total, plus or minus...).
3 - Go to your phone's setting and do a factory reset.
4 - ...this, thankfully, fixed the problem.
Notes: After my first bork and restore. I rooted and unlocked again. Updated twrp to 2.6.3.0 again, and reinstalled CarbonRom 20130911 (which worked fine for me before) --> same problem again.
...I just restored my phone for 2nd time using method above. Tedious as heck, but it worked.
...not sure if this is CarbonRom or TWRP related.....
I am having this same issue as well after attempting to flash Carbon Rom. Did the method listed above resolve the issue for anyone?
...played around some more -- and borked it a few more times....
it's not the TWRP 2.6.3.0. It's the carbonrom 4.3 JB --> issue being discussed in the carbonrom thread as well
I reverted back to carbon rom 4.2.2 and no problems
I gave up and called in the heavies. Got a new phone on the way. Thanks for all help. Will definitely fix this problem the next time it arises using this info though..:laugh:

Next time you should really try to troubleshoot. If you call in a warranty replacement every time something you flash borks something on your phone, then they're gonna start to wonder what the hell you're doing. Plus, it's good to have some kind of experience and the ability to fix your phone if needed.
I have fixed my phone many times where I have messed it up. This time unfortunately I didn't have the patience. But I will take heed to your advice and work harder to find the solution.

There's always a fix as long as you can get into download mode or recovery. I had lost my imei flashing Carbon 4.3. All I had to do was restore my imei flashing the zip that the synergy backup made and bam I could make and receive calls again. But that was after I switched Roms. Probably ROM related becuasr I am using TWRP 2.5.

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. I posted yesterday with same problem.
Questions: (trying to trouble shoot)
1 - which version of CarbonRom were you guys running?
2 - and which Recovery were you using? If TWRP, did you happen to update to 2.6.3.0 recently?
What happened to me: running carbonrom 20130913. Updated to twrp 2.6.3.0 (from 2600) >> boinked voice, but my data and text works.
What did not work: nandroid all my backups (synergy, beanstown, cleanrom) = did not solve problem. clean wipe/format and re-install (cleanrom/synergy) = no dice.
What worked:
1 - Odin back to stock (unroot, locked the bootloader) -- refer to the first thread in this forum for how-to.
2 - Took all of the OTA updates by verizon all the way to most recent update (I think 5 total, plus or minus...).
3 - Go to your phone's setting and do a factory reset.

Can I have the link you used to flash back to stock .. I am in the same boat
Just my opinion and .02. If you don't know how to restore your phone from this state or to use Odin then you shouldn't be flashing Roms and hacking it.

Not to sound harsh, but I know from experience how easy it can be to miss one little step in flashing or to encounter an unforseen problem. If you hack your phone and flash Roms for very long, the risk of doing this rises because we get so comfortable we make silly, stupid mistakes like missing one step or maybe we accidentally wipe our sd card which has our ROM on it. Also if you flash nightlies the chances go up even further that something will go wrong.
