Lost my phone number

But I still have my IMEI. I just flashed CM10.1 and now my phone number is gone and I can't get data. I can still text and make phone calls. When I go to about phone - status my MIN says unknown and so does the ICCID. I read that flashing the latest modem would fix it but it dident for me. Any suggestions?

If it was the official 12-18 you flashed, data is broken on it. Discussion is here Mastamoon posted an unofficial build with working data you could try flashing or dirty flash back to 12-17 theres a couple ppl with this issue in there

I had the same issue, been trying to fix all day.
Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442
I couldn't get the IMEI/ERI tool working on my rom (I think the radio wasn't compatible) and I had to roll back to a older version, but after using *2767*3855# my phone reset and it is fully functional.
How did the VZW rep that I spoke to for over an hour not know about this?!

Did you tell the rep that you rooted and flashed a custom ROM on your phone? And even if you did, I doubt a rep would tell you to flash something with ODIN to go back to a previous version.

Q] Synergy Rom mobile Data

I can't post in the developer forum because of my post limit.
I know this question has been asked before but i admit i don't understand the responses.
I am using Synergy Rom r257 and my mobile data just turned off overnight. I haven't been able to get it back. My IMEI and ERI are still ok an calls come in and go just fine. But under my phone status i have no IP address and i made sure that CMDA/LTE have been checked off.
I have tried to toggle data and airplane mode, I also flashed r257 again. I did not use TB to restore my files after installation and did it all manually.
It was working fine for a few days. I am not sure if this matters but i have noticed since i installed that whenever I hung up the from a phone call it would say no sim on the call screen.
any advice would be appreciated

updating the baseband got me on 3g. baseband vrblk3.
but my network type under settings still says unknown.

I'd like to say first.
That I bought my phone off Craig's list already rooted running taste of bean (cool story, I know)
First thing I did was flash miui ROM. And had 4g. A few hours later I noticed I had no 4g? So I'm texting the dude about it and he is clueless then I notice I lose texting.
I nandroid back uped into whatever he had made (stock rooted)
And it claimed I was in roaming.
(No data, text, call)
Edit : this method may work for your purpose.

Only fix was for me to Odin stock unrooted and dial the factory reset number. I am terribly sorry as I forget the number off the top of my head. *27 something
Afterwards my phone was perfect and went on rooting
I know a lot of this seems tedious, but I'm a noob and this is the best answer I have.
Hit the thanks if I pointed you in the right direction.

[Q] At a loss, data but no voice/sms

I was running the latest stable version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and all was going well until someone sent me a text message and I tried to respond. I was greeted with the error of message not sent. I attempted to text someone else to have the same error. Attempting to call someone will just hang and eventually say call failed.
I thought it was a radio issue so attempted to flash different modems but had the same result. So I restored my previous rom Beans 11 that was working after wiping and the same issue. Data works perfect, but voice and text does not. I searched and odin'd back to stock VRLG1 and entered *2767*3855# in hopes of that fixing the problem, again no voice/text.
Any suggestions further help? I don't know what else to try!
*CM10.1 was working fine, and then calls/texting stopped but data continued to work without trouble.
*IMEI seems to be intact
*Flashed backup of known working rom and issue still persists
*Flashed back to VRLG1 and attempted *2767*3855# as per another post to no avail and this is where I sit.

Same thing. Installed jellybeans 12 now I can't call or text. Prior text was hit and miss some days....restored stock rooted image flashed other Roms....no help. Dialed the ** number....so screwed. Ayneegry should have backed up my few several times. No idea what to do.

When you say "Data" do you mean wifi or 3g/4g? If you have no phone/text/3g/4g then it's probably your imei. Check under phone settings, see if it's gone. If it's gone you gotta restore, do a search.
If you have 3g/4g then I don't know what the problem is. Sorry, just trying to help

Odin back to ICS and reprovision your phone by going into the dialer and typing *2767*3855#

rgrossie - data as in 3G/4G works no problem... phone showed IMEI still there but followed a thread to restore it anyway to make sure that wasn't the issue...
Edgehood -- I've tried that, and that's where I currently sit, stock ICS with 4G data but doing the re-provision doesn't seem to fix anything -- occasionally a text will slip through, but I'm unable to reply

I hear ya, if I can't figure out what's up, I'll end up having to go back to verizon and see what I can do... It was out of the blue, everything was working and then suddenly it just stopped. Happened on a flash that was a little over a day old, so who knows.

Check Mobile network
I have thiss problem happen occasionally when I flash custom roms. Look under your mobile networks, see if either CDMA/SIM is checked or NV. If NV is checked switch to CDMA/SIM and then reboot. That seems to fix that problem most of the time.
Edit: After some tests found out this doesn't always stick, but I did find out that after switching from NV to CDMA/SIM turn on airplane mode so the radios are tunred off, wait a few moments, then turn airplane mode off. That worked more consistently than restarting it.

Did you ever fix this? I currently have the same problem and have no idea what to do.

i had the same problem but a imei/efs restore fixed it. My imei was not missing but data worked and not calls or text. Changed sim and still same, even odined back to stock and unlockex and rooted no luck restored nandroid no luck. Then restored synergy imei/efs backup and good to go. Hope it helps.
Cruzin' tha Galaxy SIII via Obsessed Rom / "INAPPROPRIATE" Kernel

I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

If you Odin back to the original stock unroofed ROM, you'd have to take all the ota Verizon updates to vmf1. Then reset your phone.
Pain in the a$$ but has always worked for me. I had same problem running carbon.
I read in another post that Odin back to root66, them reset your phone would work too.

[Q] Can't send texts or dial and receive phone calls

I've been flashing a bunch of different roms for a while and nothing like this has happened before.
I was on synergyrom 420 when all of a sudden I was not able to send texts, make phone calls, and recieve phone calls.
I was able to receive texts and my 4g worked perfectly fine.
I thought it was the ROM so i reset my rom, downloaded new roms, odined back to a rooted stock vzw rom. Took out the sim card, Everything.
Is there any way I can fix this issue?

NOOOO. YOU SHALL BE STUCK IN AN ETERNAL DEAD ZONE OF CELLULAR SERVICE.
Or. Hit the search button and find one of the hundreds of post like this across the fourms.
But here you go.
Settings>about phone> status.
Now you will check the "my phone number"
If it says unknown, this is your problem.
Next check MEID IMEI and all that stuff.
It may be wrong or it may not be.
Anyways.
Just Odin to stock UNROOTED.
And dial the secret code for hard factory reset on your galaxy s3
And all your wildest dreams will come true <3
But seriously if you have problems after this, shoot me a PM if you are not offended by my immaturity.

They have to Odin flash a VRALF2 or VRALG1 based rom before dialing the reprovision code. It's blocked on all newer firmware.

Problem after flashing 4.3 rom causing me to be stuck in 2g

I am having a huge issue with my phone. I have been flashing custom roms for the past few years and this is the first time I have ever ran into a issue like this. I flashed SlimRom 4.3 build 2 a couple weeks back, it was taking forever to switch between 3g and LTE sometimes up to 5 mins to lock. Not to mention the signal was super low. I ignored it for the most part as it is a newer rom and figured it was just a bug and would hold off for now till kitkat released.
Then my phone would just start random rebooting about once or twice a day. Then on my way home from work i was bluetoothed to my vehicle when it did a random reboot. After that Ive been stuck in 1xRTT since. I also managed to loose my IMEI and PRL version they are both set at 0 and I do not have a backup. Has anyone else ever had this issue? I don't have a clue how to get it working again. My phone is out of warranty I am in the midst of flashing it back to stock to see if that works. Ive searched for hours trying to find a fix. Thanks.

Reverted back to stock.still no luck. Also play store won't work. No connection wirh retry button even while connected to wifi

What firmware/radio do you have? If you've been on custom roms a while you might need to update your radio baseband (most current is VRBMF1). You can flash an updated radio without regard for the Rom you're using.

The imei thing is a separate issue. I lost mine without a backup when I first started flashing roms... I think it was cM at the time. I ended up going all the way back to an early stock image, grabbing the OTA updates and then rooting and flashing all over again. I don't know what part in particular got me my imei back.

Do you mean a backup of efs partition or a nandroid? There is a thread at rootzwiki about recovering your imei-efs items. When u get it back do
Su
Reboot nvbackup
In a terminal then you wont have to worry about this again. If you have a nandroid restore it and you'll b good.

Yes my efs folder was completely empty. I reverted back to stock 4.0.4 still had a "0" for IMEI so i used QPST and entered in the IMEI manually and it stuck. I have signal back now. I just got factory mode off. Now my phone is stuck on "Activating", a factory reset should fix that. So this is resolved. Thanks for the help.

Is this the fix to get everything up and running again (flash back to ICS)? I was about to start my own thread until I read this. I lost my IMEI, ERI and MEID but didn't back it up first (I know I know ... boo). I manually input my IMEI using QPST like you did and was also able to fix my ERI and MEID and now I have data and text, but still no voice connection. I've flashed a stock (rooted) ROM and tried the reprovision code *2767*3855# and the RTN codes ##786# & ##72786# but nothing happens (I've seen in other forums this only works in ICS and not JB). Last night I downloaded a stock unrooted JB ROM (4.1.2) and ICS ROM (4.0.4) and am planning to ODIN back to stock and complete a factory reset to see if it will kick the gears back in motion again.
I'm not meaning to hi-jack this thread but confirm this is the solution to completing a non-backed-up IMEI/ERI/MEID fix.
-Edit-
There are tons of threads out there starting with "I've lost signal, what happened?" and ending with "I'll report back and let you know what I've found." or "Verizon replaced it for me." but none offer a viable user solution. I'd love to see the answer posted so other searchers out there can find help.

I can confirm everything you did will restore your IMEI/ERI and connectivity. I did all the steps you did (manually input IMEI and use the utility to repair ERI and MEID), then reverted back to unrooted stock using odin. I still didn't have signal until I did a factory restet IN THE ROM. Going back to stock using odin and doing a factory reset in CWM didn't fix the issue, but going into the phone's settings and completing a factory reset from there caused my signal and connection to come back.
