[Q] lost data connection

First, I'm not too familiar with how ODIN works, so I'm a n00b to Samsung Galaxy S stuff. I'm used to HTC and LG. This is my fiancee's phone.
She has lost data connection. Rebooting, reregistering, turning airplane mode on/off doesn't make it come back. WIFI turns on and all that good stuff.
Here's what's currently running on her phone:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: T959VUVKB5
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKB5
Yes she has root. What would I need to do to get this back? If it involves flashing another ROM (been thinking about getting her on Gingerbread) than that's ok I'll just need pointed to a good guide for Galaxy S n00bs.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I'm also not sure if she has clockwork flashed or not. The phone was purchased used and was already rooted.

First go into settings > wireless and networks >mobile networks > and make sure packet data is on, if it is, go into access point names hit the menu key and click reset to default.
Make sure network mode is set to gsm/wcdma (auto mode) if not try switching between the other two options and see if that helps.
If none of that works:
You can try to Odin different modems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
Try the KD1 modem first and see if she can connect.

I tried the settings already. No luck with those. I will read up on ODIN and try flashing those modems. Thanks.
Might just take the plunge and flash Gingerbread for her, but she hates restoring apps and stuff. lol

I tried that modem. Same issue. Any other suggestions? I'm open for any other ideas. Nothing has changed on the phone. No new ROM, no weird apps. Same geographic area.
I'm at a loss right now. I've never had this problem on any of my phones so I've never had to troublshoot/repair something like this before.

Sorry about the late reply. The IMEI shows up normal. It worked perfectly for a few months, and has only been acting up for the past week or so.

Are you sure your APN settings are correct? for some odd reason, I had to manually set the APN's for my carrier.
Try disabling wifi, as it won't get data connection otherwise. Then go to settings, wireless and network, mobile networks and then Access Points Names.
See if the carriers APN are all set correctly. Should be t-mobile's unless it's an unlocked phone with another carrier.

are you sure that the imei's fine? or is it a generic imei?
i know this situation all to well, my efs folder got f***** and i had a back up on my sd card but as luck would have it my sd card was wiped. and ever since then i could never get a signal on the phone.
so make sure its not that issue because honeslty if it is theres not a thing that you can do about it.

So IMEI is correct and data packets are enable?
Do you have a data plan on the phone? Check my.tmobile.com. If you do call tmobile and *****!

Yeah data packets are enabled.
Gotta check those APN's, though. Been looking for what the settings should be.

APN it was!
Thanks! Problem is solved and her phone works fine.

Mobile Network not available

Hi i traded my phone, and he installed the wrong thing and broke it. I thought i could fix it which i did. Now though when i load it up it has no mobile network. I can connect to wifi. I called atnt and they said my imei was fine. I registered this phone with them when i first bought it, so i dont see how the imei could bad. I think he tried to change the carrier to something else and messed it up. Is there any way i can get my mobile network back? ITs a atnt i727. What should i be looking for to change the carrier to what its suppose to be. The imei is the right one from the back of the battery.

Isnt that for the data? I reset it to default but it didnt help. I cant make phone calls or anything. Is there a setting to tell the phone to connect to at&t or something like that? Or is there any way he broke the hardware? Under the settings about the phone it shows my phone number.

Thanks for trying guys. I have a update I got like one bar last night and it received like 4text and then got none. My girl friends phone is getting service, so does that mean something in the phone is broken

More details on what he did to break it and what you have done to fix my guess is that you need to flash a better working radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Well when I got it back it was is a mode I haven't seen, kinda like the download mode but it said Odin kies mode. Im not sure what ics he tried to put in it. But I put back in the flash to stock Odin from the site and it loaded back up. Then I saw it didn't have service so I installed Cw recovery and installed sky coke. Which I have now, also tried some kernals but that didn't help ethier.now I have sky coke no service to atnt for calls or text but wifi works. I don't get service even in emergency mode.

Try finding a gingerbread radio FOR THIS PHONE and flash it my guess is that is your issue I don't have links but they exist somewhere in this noob ridden skyrocket forum

Thanks very much, i tried that and it still doesnt work. Weird enough every once and awhile it works, it should like it must of dropped it in water or something, and bricked it on me so i wouldn't realize what was going on. Or am i wrong? Is the thing that receives and transmits cell calls and text able to brake hardware wise?

What I would do is try a new sim card. All the network info is on there. If you did something wrong with roms or whatever, you could fry the sim. I would also make sure to have complete stock and I mean bone stock att rom( no root) placed on it. This will make everything back to factory and a better way to eliminate the problem. Sounds to me you have multiple and nothing meshing together. Search forums to return to stock which most likely would be gb 2.3.6. Good luck.
Oh and make sure you read closely and carefully. Returning to stock can be dangerous if you don't follow the directions step by step and have patience. You have nothing to lose if the phone is already borked. Its worth a try.

I'm having the same exact problem. And unfortunately, it looks like it has something to do with the CM 10.1 itself. As CM 10 works perfectly fine and gets me a signal, CM 10.1 won't be able to get me services.
I don't think there's a fix on this yet.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you're on a different baseband than UCMC1.

4G Unavailable on My vzw S3

Hey I appreciate any help provided. I went ahead and followed droidstyle's guide to rooting and then flashing a custom rom to my 16GB S3. I believe that I followed the steps correctly but experienced some boot loops after installing CWM and before flashing Bean's Custom Stock Rom. Eventually I was able get the device booted and everything worked great except that my 4G was not working. 3G was working properly. I then applied the most recent OTA modem thinking that this could remedy the problem without success. I ejected SIM, powered on the device without the SIM, powered off, and then repowered with SIM seated. Still no 4G. After, I figured that I'd try going back to bloated 4.0.4 but this did not fix the problem. It's also worth mentioning that while I was flashing back and fourth that I was unable to backup using Nandroid. A message indicating that a backup could not be saved was displayed. I read in another thread that formatting the internal SD should fix the problem but I'm a little worried that I may much something up (again) while doing so.
I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

I have had essentially the same problem. I have added the phone info app, which really hasn't worked too much better, except that I can lock it into LTE only. When I put it on LTE/CDMA/EDVO it has 3G, but will never automatically switch to 4G. I have to put the phone into LTE only, so that it will pick it up. I did notice today that when in LTE only mode, I can't make any phone calls, text, etc and get a message about my service provider being unavailable. Has anyone else had this issue?

Just give it some time eventually will switch to lte if you have lte coverage in your area

I have given it days !! I was thinking Verizon was having LTE issues, but I have been in multiple towns, all with LTE and I don't have any LTE, unless I force it manually; problem is I don't have anything BUT data, because LTE only mode for some reason makes me only have data.
Is it normal to have data only, when in LTE only mode ???
I have been considering going back to unrooted and doing a factory wipe, but with the lack of being positive it will fix the issue, I hate to do that work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Phone Info.
Sent from my Galaxy S III

After a couple days of incredibly fast CM10, my S3 has decided to revert back to it's old ways. I'm not entirely sure what caused the issue the first time around nor do I have a clue what caused it this time. Also, I do not know what allowed me to begin receiving 4G/3G when this happened originally. I have my proper IMEI/MEID. I've tried booting the phone without SIM, shutting down, reinserting SIM with no luck. I've used Phone Info to try switching my network type with no luck. I've cleared cache in recovery (Haven't cleared Davlik). I've applied the pre-release modem from the most recent modem. Nothing seems to be working. Everything was working just about flawlessly for the last couple of days. I suppose that I'm at a loss. I've backed up my efs using adb... The next logical step is to reflash CM10 and see if that provides any difference. If that doesn't work I will go back to Bloated and move back into CM10.
I've been looking for something unique for the better part of 4 hours. Do you guys have any ideas?
I really do appreciate any help!

Jump into your dialer, and press *2767*3855# and you'll reset your SIM card - and - that's what you need...

[Q] Phone number is different but IMEI is normal

After flashing between a couple ROMs the other night, I noticed under 'About Phone' that my phone number is different (it says 000-000-5777). After doing some research and coming to find out about this IMEI issue, I checked to make sure that my IMEI was still in tact, which it is (and I went ahead and backed it up). The only thing that is different is my phone number isn't showing up correctly.
I can still receive calls and MMS and I am getting my 4G service. Is this something worth worrying about or should I just forget about it as long as my IMEI is still there?
Thanks ahead of time for any input.

I saw that thread, but was just wanting to know if my phone number not being displayed correctly is anything to worry about if I am still getting service. I didn't know if it was something that needed to be fixed or just an effect of the ROM.

Which ROM are you running? If your still getting service, then it's probably not an emergency. I'm not sure if it will cause a real problem for you or not, but personally I would fix it to be on the safe side. If you odin back to Root66, backup your data, and then enter the re-provision code you should be back to normal. Then you could re-flash whatever ROM you are currently on.
If it's not causing you any problems, then it's up to you whether or not you want to spend the time on a fix.

Root66 is the original stock, rooted image of the initial firmware that shipped with the Verizon Galaxy S3. It can be downloaded from here and must be flashed through ODIN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
The re-provision code is done by typing *2767*3855# into the dialer. It will factory reset your device, so make sure you back up your data before entering it.
I can't guarantee this will fix your issue, but has fixed other similar problems in the past. The only reason you need to go back to Root66 is because Samsung removed the re-provision code from more recent builds because it is a security issue (the code can be embedded on websites to reset your device without you opting to do so).

Thanks for your help. After flashing back to stock, rooting/unlocking again and flashing back to Liquid Smooth, my phone number is appearing correctly.

I guess I spoke too soon. After a reboot, I noticed that my phone number under About Phone was displayed as "Unknown", and after rebooting a second time, it was displaying the number it did before (000-000-5777). Every time I reboot my phone, I get presented with an endless activation screen that I have to either hit the physical home button or do the 4 corner tap method to get rid of. I'm starting to think that the activation screen is what is causing this issue, considering after I reflashed Liquid Smooth and wasn't presented with the activation screen and my phone number was appearing correctly.
I guess this isn't really anything to worry about since I am getting full functionality out of my phone. But if anyone happens to have any input on this issue, feel free to chime in.

That's strange.. is it possible your SIM card is going bad?

Not the sim. Try rebooting but dont unlock the screen until it has a data connection. Once it does go see if the number is still the same or if its your number

I always let the phone acquire a connection before unlocking, but am still presented with an activation screen and the phone number is still messed up. It hasn't been affecting my data or calls so I guess there is no sense in fooling with something so minor.

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

Yeah, my cell service connects and I can text and call. It just doesn't seem to have any idea that my carrier is verizon and it kinda seems odd.

computer doesn't see the card at all..

I can't recall when I last had it working but my NFC completely stopped working. I have tried reverting back to absolute stock rooted nandroid. That didn't work so I Odin booted back to the original unrooted firmware. Still same problem. If I try to uncheck NFC from the more options it moves over and is immediately flipped back. I have gone into a Verizon wireless store to seek help but the guy made a sarcastic remark that his iPhone wouldn't have that problem...but I also as a few other notes I have tried hells ROM and also flashing the NFC file with the ROM which also didn't work and have tried the few NFC Google wallet fixes I have seen, also sadly no luck. I'm stubborn and don't want to give up if anyone knows if there is a possible fix, hope you can possibly help!

replacement?
I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.

nfc
Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

Good idea, just tried it and it didn't do anything. Also tried that, rebooted recovery, wiped dalvick and cache fixed permissions then tried again with no luck. =/

nfc
Are you using a non stock kernel? Also when you went back to stock did you erase everything on the phone?
