Hey guys, I've been having a great time flahsing the S3. I've fallen in love with CM10 that was flashed using droidstyle's guide. Everything worked flawlessly for three days but since last night I now have no data at all. No 3G or 4G. I'm going to install the latest modem. The "Phone Info" app is not helping either. Any other ideas? It's just bizarre to me that it would randomly stop working. Nothing had changed.
Thanks
Applied Latest OTA Modem
So I applied the latest modem. I'm still having the same issue. I've read that I may have to get a new SIM Card but I'm not sure. Any help at all is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Does it work if you do a factory reset or flash a touchwiz rom?
did you back up you imei as suggested in my guide? when you go into settings/about device/status, do youe see your imei and meid numbers?

Hey guys, I'm not exactly sure what solved my problem but I currently have data. After applying the latest Modem update I switched to "CDMA only" through Phone Info. After a couple of hours I changed to LTE/GSM/CDMA and it's currently working as it had been. Thanks for all of your responses.
Hey guys,
No matter what I do I can't get my service to work again. All it shows at the top is a little circle with a slash through the middle. I tried installing a custom rom but ran into some problems. So I "restored" my backup through rom manager. But i don't have service anymore. Since this happend I have tried several new roms and I still can't get the service to come back.
Some people say it has something to do with the IMEI but according to my setup I still have one.
I have been working on this problem for nearly 13 hrs none stop! Please help... I have searched everywhere.
Thanks

If your IMEI and all that information is correct then you may have a bad sim card resulting in no service at all. Otherwise i'd recommend using odin to go back to completely 100% stock and see if that fixes it.

Thank you so much for responding. I have tried to restore stock with odin but every time odin finishes my phone still boots up my existing rom. Any quick ideas with that one?
And do you really think my sim could have just gone bad like that? It's free to get a new one so maybe I will try that as a last resort.
I don't know much about rooting but could it be my radio?
A couple of questions?
Is boot loader unlocked, if so how did you unlock, updated ver 1.4 ez-unlock can mess up and relock boot loader. Use ver 1.2 . "Verizon only"
What ROM and kernel? Make sure its for your carrier.
Any radio should be OK as long as its for you phone and carrier.

did you try reprovisioning your device with dialer code *2767*3855?
note that this does wipe internal sd so back ur **** up!
I tired the above number in dialer but always comes up with error saying "mobile network not available".
Am I doing something wrong?
Oh.... You forgot to ad a # on the end of that number. After this everything started working again!!! Thank you so much!

What fixes the problem. This happened to me after flashing the latest MIUI ROM on my Verizon S3.
I tried re provisioning my phone with the number sequence below but it did not work. I also used the phone info app but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
I did a full wipe and flashed the CM10.1 nightly released for the d2vzw this morning. When it rebooted I had no cell service. Looking in settings i have the proper IMEI number but my cell number is listed as 000-000-1361, MIN is 1361, PRL is 1. what can I do to fix it? I tried restoring a nandroid but the result is the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any one try Odin back to stock?
I have a similar issue and I have been going around and around with it without any luck. I restored my latest backup and I still have 000-000-3257 with a PRL of 1. I will try the ops recommendation and will report back.
Odin to stock is my next move unless someone else can think of something else to try.
Try clearing dalvik cache in recovery. Fixed it for me on AOKP. Had the exact same thing where my phone number was a bunch of zeroes. Still had service though when I hit the home button to bypass the activation screen.

I tried to remove the sim, and boot, and readd the sim and boot but no go. I will try it again but then I think I am going back to stock to see if that works.
Everything still works fine. No need to get worried......it just doesn't report your phone number accurately. Its not like it actually effects functionality. I ran it with an f'ed phone number for 3 days. Everything ran fine. Don't sweat it. If its a problem, wait until tomorrows official nightly comes out tonight and you'll be set.

My issue is it is affecting my functionality. My phone is not working and whenever I call out I get a generic message saying my phone is not active.
I restored a backup from when I first rooted. Now my phone number is listed properly and when I get into a 4G coverage area I can get data, but I still can't call out and it shows I am roaming when I am in a 3G area.
OP on CM10.1 says that dirty flashing Unofficial 10.1 build 12/17/12 will restore data. Any luck with this fix?

I was very unlucky and the dirty flash didnt work for me. However, I did have a backup of my IMEI and was able to flash it back to my phone.
I ran into the same problem after flashing 10.1... lost IMEI and stuck on roaming, had no backup.
To fix it i did the following
1) Odin back to stock
2) use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442
3) reprovish the phone using this code in the dialer *2767*3855#
IMEI restored and no longer on roaming

THANK YOU!. I could not get the IMEI/ERI tool to work, but I did get *2767*3855# code to work. I had to roll back to a older version of the official rom (I think rolling back the radio would have been OK) but I am not up and working.

I flashed back to stock as well and then used the same number to reprovision. After that everything worked fine it fixed the roaming, incorrect number, PRL, and all. I never lost my IMEI so I didnt do that step. but if you flash back to the cm 10.1 before they fix the data it will happen again :laugh:

I can't remember for sure, but I think that is something that the VZW tech had me do, and it didn't work. Maybe someone else who is having the issue can test and comment.

This fixed it for me! Thank you very much!
Sent from an unlocked Galaxy S 3! Screw you Verizon!
So tell me how screwed I am.
I had CM10.2 on my phone, then my IMEI changed to "0", and I couldn't receive calls. So I flashed my phone to 4.3.
Next right before I fixed the IMEI issue the ERI changed to "none", and put me in roaming mode.
Well I fixed the IMEI issue, but I am now stuck trying to fix the ERI, it still says roaming and does not pull an IP Address.
Is the ERI possible to be fixed now that I am stuck in 4.3?
I tried RevSkills it says, "subsys efs is locked", then I tried Samsung MEID Repair (but it locks up, I believe because I am using 4.3)
Any help appreciated! I will be heading to the Verizon store here in a few, but I'm sure they are going to say buy a new phone or something.
Well Verizon store was not helpful, they tried a bit and gave up. But reading more, I am starting to think I can revert back to older firmware because I did not OTA.
Does this sound right?
Because several times, with 4.3, I tried using ODIN to go to ICS, Well ODIN failed each time with a SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 1 > Binary 0...
[Quoting toeshot from another thread.]
The problem is that once you install the 4.3 update you cannot use Odin to flash a downgrade ROM even an official Samsung ROM. You will need to install a custom recovery then flash a rooted rom,

I'm going to keep trying things, because basically this phone is useless right now anyways..if I hardbrick it oh well, it was good while it lasted.
Still working on this...
So where I currently am, installed safestrap and flashed over TW Wicked Sensations. Still couldn't access the "subsys efs" because its using the ML1 modem...
Well I flashed over the modem G1, didn't work, tried G7 also doesn't work because they just take it to the "System software not authorized" screen where I am forced to reboot.
I really don't know now. unless there is a TW somewhere out there that lets me switch modems without it bringing up the "System software not authorized" I am stuck forever roaming.
Thanks Odin for letting me flash 4.3 onto my phone without warning me I could never go back. :good:

Even flashing the stock 4.3 odin file locks it... There is an odin file with the MF1 BOOT CHAIN so it won't lock it, but its too late. Plug it into the PC and run the install helper to reload the totally stock 4.3, then call verizon and tell them that since the OTA came, your phone is always in roam mode. They should replace it.

I am in a very similiar boat. I was running 10.1.3 and did the upgrade to 10.2 and my IMEI reset to all zeros. So my question is how did you fix your IMEI issue? I flashed a working backup I took before I upgraded and that did not help. Tried other roms, etc and nothing

Yea the problem is the IMEI and ERI both exist in the EFS, so that is what you would have had to backup..It can still be fixed though. Couple of links for you here:
Youtube1
Youtube2
Software Required/Procedure
So this is the part I screwed up with after finding those links, I immediately flashed to 4.3 to fix the issue, don't do that. Flash it to like ICS ( anything lower than 4.3 ) and then do the procedure part.
Also you can find your IMEI on the sticker under the battery.

After exhausting all possibilities this seems like what I will have to do, its kind of disappointing because my phone is in excellent condition, I may just sell it on ebay for parts or something.
But can you riddle me this batman, even though its says I am roaming, I'm not right? So can I just use my phone like normal?

Same thing was happening to me...when I was in CM10.2. I would try the first command to enable Diagnostic Mode / Qualcomm USB Settings. and it would do nothing. I am fairly sure you have to be on a stock ROM for this to work. Also when you dial the commands, after you hit the last number it will perform the operation, you never have to actually press dial.
I saw people posting a bunch of different numbers to try that would bring up the Qualcomm Settings. But I can't really tell you which one you need because I'm on 4.3 and its a different number. But on 4.3 its called ( Enable DM Mode ). Good Luck! :good:

Two things I noticed that might be the issue. The IMEI SV is 00 and when I go to Access Point Names that list is blank. I did reset to default but that did not repopulate them.

My phone has suddenly stopped having any service whatsoever, I have tried everything, factory reset, format data, but have still been unable to get anything. I tried playing around with the radio settings and the APN but that hasn't worked either. If anyone has some ideas, they would be welcome.

Pay the bill
Does the SIM status screen show your phone number and IMEI? I had a Galaxy Nexus once that quit working, and those were blank (or maybe it said unknown) in the status screen. I figure possibly the EFS partition developed a fault or got corrupted.
I flashed the 5.0.1 radio and was able to get service again and can now text but I'm still unable to call anyone.Whenever i try to dial the number it simply goes silent, loses service and ends the call. I am also still unable to receive calls as well,all calls people attempt seem to cause me to lose service and only get a voice mail afterwards.
I haven't checked the sim status screen yet and I am unsure as to how.

You can always flash back if their is no improvement
Thanks for the suggestion but I have already done so and I have observed no improvement. am beginning t suspect that it may be an issue with the EFS but I'm not sure what steps to take to verify this.

After flashing 5.01 radio, did you try to wipe cache and dalvik cache? Maybe the phone process still has bad cache (if possible). Just a try! I hope it works. Otherwise there is some big problem

If you suspect EFS corruption, try restoring any TWRP backup you made prior to the problem.
The EFS partition will be present in the backup, unless you unchecked if you checked that partition in TWRP Backup.

I have a similar issue. After I updated to 5.1 my mobile data doesn't work. I tried everything listed before in this thread with no result. I don't know what is happening. The first one I updated using 5.1 factory image. Reverted to 5.0 Factory image and it worked again. So, I update by OTA to 5.01 and then to 5.1, same results. This drives me crazy! I want 5.1 on my Nexus
BTW I have D821 model. Any suggestion?

For me it helped, ejecting and reinserting the SIM card. But I had also flashed other ROMS and cleaned the SMS/call/contacts database. So not sure why it worked.
I also notice that my System UI frequently stops. Does anyone have a stock System UI for me? Many thanks!
I am having similar issue and SIM status shows Radio off, how do I turn on?
Thanks.
