I have clockwork rom recovery please help me I am shaking i am so nervous everything works except the data network calling texting etc even wifi works help me please
Sorry mate this is the G3! Forum not GS3 2 completely different phones. But I have a broad idea on imei, if you didn't backup your efa then I guess it's service center for you. However I'm not 100% sire this applies to GS3. Try asking on their forums.

I moved this because I think I posted it in the wrong forum earlier. I really need help here. Does anyone have a Verizon Galaxy S3 with AOKP? Can you tell me how you got it to work??
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3. I installed the AOKP ROM after rooting/unlocking the device. Afterwards, I lost all data. Flashed back to stock rooted, still no data. Where the data service indicator is, it indicates as if the radios aren't there. I lost APN files I believe, tried to back them up from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Nothing. I checked the MEID and restored it manually using QPST. I followed the directions exactly, but when checking the MEID it displays all the digits but the last one. I am lost here and have tried everything I know or could find out to do. Can anyone here help? Please. I also lost phone calls. "Mobile Network Not Available" Can someone on Verizon with a S3 on AOKP tell me how they got this to work? The ROM is beautiful. Thank you in advance.
Very wrong forum...hope you backed up your imei... you lost it. That's why you read the forum before flashing: (

Still WRONG Forum!
Are you a developer? What are you releasing here?
Nothing? Then WRONG forum

This is great, it got the data back but the phone still doesn't work to make calls or text messages. Do my APN settings have anything to do with this?

This corrected the IMEI! Verizon now recognizes the phone. It has data now but does not make phone calls or do texting. Any ideas here? I am keepiing a record of all this stuff. I'm sorry to trouble you all here, and am learning quickly this is not for the faint of heart. Thank you again

I didn't bother with backing up anything, like an idiot. I'm learning the hard way here... My APNs had been backed up and restored. the AOKP ROM doesn't show APNs for some reason.
Try going back to the stock touch wiz Rom and see if you still have the problem

so i recently read a thread on howardforums on now to root virgin mobile's samsung galaxy sII. i just got one for christmas and wanted to try it out. apparently i used the wrong kernal when flashing it over to my phone using odin as they specified. so when it was done i attempted to turn the phone on and all i got was the samsung galaxy sII logo and a yellow triangle. i have tried every way i know possible to get this off of my phone. i even went as far as to research repairing this problem using the siyah kernal. i can longer start my phone i can however get into download mode and recovery mode. i have tried to do a factory reset over ten times but it doesnt work. the only other thing i can think of is to flash the original stock firmware over to the phone and hope for the best. does anyone A: know where i could get the original firmware for the phone or B: have any better suggestions on how to fix this issue. i would greatly appreciate is as it was a gift from my mom and i dont have insurance on the line and even if i did. they wouldnt take it back because they would find out that i rooted it. and i cannot afford to go out and buy a new one any time soon. once again any help is much appreciated please get back to me ASAP!! i've learned my lesson and if i can get back to factory settings i am not going to root this phone ever again!!!
Yes, wiping and flashing the stock ROM is what you need to do.
To find it, try going to your device's forum (and/or searching) - and make sure it's for the correct carrier.
Mistakes happen, it's okay. If you'd still like root access, just go slowly and re-read everything a couple of times before putting it to practice.
Edit : Also, take a look into how to make back-ups of your phone - that way you can try things and not have to worry about losing everything and having to start over.

Double check your model number. It will be printed on the label underneath the battery. I believe the Virgin Mobile Galaxy SII is the SPH-D710 (aka the Epic 4g Touch), NOT the GT-i9100. This is the forum for the i9100. If your model number reads as SPH-D710, then you're looking in the wrong forum. The i9100 doesn't even work on the same network as the Epic 4g Touch. Firmwares and kernels for the i9100 won't work on the Epic 4g Touch.

You're right mine is the SPH-D710. thank you. i went to samsung mobile and put the sprint firmware for the SPH-D710 on my phone. but now my issue is that when i turn the phone on it loads up the sprint logo instead of the virgin one and it now has all the stock sprint apps instead of virgin ones. andddd. the most annoyhign of them all. i cannot get MMS messages to download no matter what i do. i've tried searching online for what to do i have found this Menu>settings>wireless and networks>more...>mobile networks> press menu> press ADD apn...etc etc. the issue for me is i get to mobile networks and hit menu and it does absolutely nothing at all. i have downloaded numerous apps like chomp sms. go sms pro. hancent sms. nothing helps. though this sprint firmware is fine for now. i'd love to know where to get the stock virgin firmware Samsung Mobile doesnt seem to have it. if anyone knows where to get it i'd appreciate the help i know i am posting in the wrong forum. i'm pretty much a noob at this. and now that its got sprint firmware on it i dont know if i can take it to a sprint store to have them fix it especially since my phone does say that it has been rooted in the past when i go into download mode. but however it does say i am running stock at the current moment....someone please help!!

Dude. Why don't you ask in the Epic 4g Touch forum? Users of that device would be more likely to know where to find what you're looking for.
i did that already bro

It's a start. Now just stop opening multiple threads for the same issue.

You opened two threads. One in the Epic 4g Touch General section, and one in the Epic 4g Touch Q&A section. Forum rules state to only post once for a particular issue.
Hey, I apologize if this isnt the forum for this, but I'm looking for a way to get my friend's metro PCS S3 rooted recovered and rom'd. Now, there doesn't seem to be a wealth of information on it, but I figured that the vzw and metro variants are pretty similar as they're both CDMA, and found some guy on a forum *somewhere* saying you could flash over roms and get everything to work, but he didn't really elaborate on that any. I'm pretty lost here, I don't even know if the metro PCS s3 bootloader is locked or not, but any information would be helpful.

Starting off the MetroPCS Galaxy S3 has a unlocked bootloader. To root the device you can use the US Cellular version of CF-AUTO Root http://download.chainfire.eu/230/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2usc-d2usc-schr530u.zip. You can get CWMR for your device here http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-d2mtr.img or if you prefer the touch version of CWMR http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-d2mtr.img. As far using VZW ROMs I have also seen people use them and they usually work fine except for data and sms/mms problems however some APN tweaking should solve these problems.

If you go under settings>more settings> wireless and networks>mobile networks>acess point names or similar you should be able to edit the APN settings which provide the information you need to send and receive data and sms/mms. For a good ROM I would recommend taking a look at CM 10 or CM 10.1 nightly builds from here.
Hey everyone! Less than 3 weeks ago I had my Verizon Galaxy S3 flashed to Pageplus remotely for $40. I did my research and from what I could tell running custom roms should work if they are for the SCH-i535. I rooted, put TWRP recovery on and flashed nightlies of cm11. Sure enough nothing worked so I flashed my nandroid backup of stock 4.1.2 and still nothing works. I currently cannot afford another flash and I am in dier need of my phone this weekend. Is there anyone that can please help me?
Btw I checked in about phone and my phone number changed so the flash has to be broken. After hours of searching and concluding I was safe to flash I am very disappointed, but I really need my phone and would ve just fine on oem 4.1.2.
Thanks!
UPDATE! Did it myself

Hi all,
sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, im new here!
I rooted my phone earlier today with LiquidSmooth rom 4.4.4 and since doing so ive lost all signals (wifi still works)
before rooting with that however, i tried another rom which i didnt like and it downgraded cwm to an earlier version and i think i may of messed about with the field test setting without realising.
ive got everything back up to scratch but im still without a signal and can only make emergency calls
can anyone help me out?
thanks in advance
