***ONLY VERIZON GS3***
A lot of people have been having problems with flashing CM10.1 and the SlimBean 4.2.1 beta. This guide will tell you how to fix the data. At first it looks like you lost your IMEI, but you probably didn't. It is a simple fix.
What you will need:
Odin: http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip
Stock Rom: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjaifmod7d78lt0/stock.vzw_root66.tar
Instructions:
1. Go into Odin put the stock rom into the PDA part and make sure the check mark next to it is checked.
2. Boot into Download mode by hitting Volume Down + Power + Home
2. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked under options (if not you can seriously mess up your phone).
3. Flash the stock rom using Odin.
4. Once it says pass in Odin take your phones battery out and boot into recovery by hitting Volume Up + Power + Home.
5. Hit wipe data/factory reset (your phone should restart)
6. Hit the bottom left then right then left then right then volume up to pass activation.
7 Then type *2767*3855# into the phone once you set it up (you shouldn't have to press call).
Now you phone should be fixed, and you should be able to root, unlock your boot loader and try again.
Tip:
When flashing SlimBean 4.2.1 beta 1 and CM10.1 use a dirty flash over a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom.
- Dirty flash is when you don't clear your data before you flash.
I think you forgot a step, after step 4 when they boot into recovery they need to wipe data/factory reset and then boot the ROM, and THEN dial the number to re-provision.
Thank you for this. I have been trying to fix my phone for a couple days now from this roaming thing. I flashed the stock VRALHD, erased data, called that *2767blahblah number over and over. Nothing seemed to work. Finally, after leaving my family's Christmas party to catch my ferry back home, I figured I would try to dial that *2767*3855# again so I'd be able to let my family know I made the boat. After reboot, I had data! Not sure what changed but I'm afraid to reboot or do anything in fear of losing data again and being stuck in roaming. I'm going to try this fix when I get home. Thanks again, and merry Christmas!

Once the phone successfully re-provisions you won't have any problems with data anymore, unless you flash a 10.1 build without RIL support for data that is. If you want to flash 10.1 again make sure it is the 12/24 nightly or later.

Thank you. Any ideas as to why it took so many attempts at re-provisioning? Like I said, I've been trying for two days now.

This is a touchy subject. I once had the triangle and roaming with dual clock. I did all I could with all the fixes. Wound up getting sim replaced. Then happened again with the slim bean update. So both were triangles. But the luck the second time was flashing the backup of strumer jons miui. It has all the nice deep network settings. And it worked. I see now many are talking about the fix in most cases kust going in to network settings and chainging to ruim from nv ...then auto. So try this if you have the roaming triangle and still have your imei and number.. min

Hello i am dealing with this right now as i type this. I have gone into Network settings and switched everything i can possibly find, nothing seems to get rid of the triangle
Also tried flashing other roms i had backed up
Also tried a fresh factory reset
Right now im downloading this ROM and Odin, and ill give it a whirl. If all else fails i guess i have to go get a new SIM? What do i tell them at the counter? Will they care that I am rooted? Do i even need to bring my phone to them or can i just bring the SIM and ask for a new one?

To the OP ... you mentioned follow these steps then i should be able to root/unlock ... but I already have. Do you mean that by following these steps I will lose my root and ill need to do it again?
Thanks
I wish this guide was out a couple days ago I had to figure it out by googling and flashing through Odin/face plants into keyboard. But what he says is what I did works great!

I feel like such a nub lol, never did use Odin. Im following this process ... i booted the phone and i see the little android robot. It says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!"
I open Odin and i pointed the PDA path to the ROM i downloaded, check box is checked ... I hit start, and nothing happens.
Just says "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
Did i do it wrong?
EDIT, apparently i had to wait for it to "ADD" my drive ... now i hit start and its doing all sorts of ish ... wish me luck!

I have gotten through to step 5 (factory reset) and now booted. It appears to be in an "Activation Loop" or something? I see the triangle is on top, and actually it sometimes switches to an "R" but then back to a triangle.
The phone says "Activating ..." and every minute it dials out to some number and connects for 2 seconds, then disconnects, and just keeps repeating.
It did that maybe 5 or 6 times, now it says my only option is to restart or make an emergency call. Cannot dial the code in step6 from the emergency keypad, it wont let me.
Im restarting, not sure what to do, there are no options.
Is this normal?

The R or triangle is what this is fixing that means your roaming just get out of the activation screen and call the number.
Right on ... it worked! I googled "How to get past activation screen" and could not believe that tapping actually worked, but it did lol. Dialed the number and bam .. service.
Now im assuming i need to reroot and unlock? Ill get on that now
Thanks so much to everyone.

This was the case for me. However easy to go into verizon without your phone. Tell them its ar home and you just need new sim. Offer to pay for it. Then they will give it free.

No, you don't need to unlock, the root66 ROM preserves your unlocked bootloader. All you have to do is flash Clockworkmod recovery, or TWRP recovery, and then you can flash back your custom ROM
So I originally had the roaming issue. Went back to the stock rom and entered the code provided in the dialer, re rooted and unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. Tried flashing 10.1 again...still the same deal. Roaming. How can I get past this roaming with an android 4.2 rom!? has anyone been successful at it?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated haha

You have to do a dirty flash over a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom.
Post over at the cyanogenmod forums suggest trying:
Go into Mobile Settings -> Mobile Networks
Change CDMA mode to RUIM
Toggle Airplane Mode (or reboot)
Haven't been able to verify myself, but if it can save someone from reflashing it's worth a shot.

This worked for me but I have a couple question.
- How do I get to be bone stock from here? I don't want to be rooted or flash any roms
For some reason, I don't have any 4LTE service only 3g.
I went to status update two times and both times I got upgraded to 4.04 not 4.1
Basically I would like the phone like it just came out of the box and I did an OTA update for 4.1
Thanks.

I removed CWM Recovery,,, back to stock recovery...
restored the samsung official VZW rom and binary.
I removed the superuser and the unlock tools...
I still have no ERI and no service..
when i remove the sim card it tells me to insert it... obviously
when i put it back in an reboot it says "searching for service" and "everything i screenshotted... the imei is what i inputed with the tool in the imei tool thread you guys gave me...
however my wifi does work and my rom boots just fine... and when i factory reset my number shows up in the MDN field...
it honestly seems like the way the phone would communicate with the towers is screwed.

Have you tried factory resetting using the dialer code on a stock ROM? I had the same issue even after I ODINd back to stock until I used the code.

Alright, this just comes off as being a jerk. It sounds like he did (try to) backup his IMEI. Also, I don't see him blaming anyone for his "mishap". He was also very polite in asking for help. So was there a need in being a jerk(not just directed at you, as you were one of 3 or so to act as if he was wrong here)? I mean isn't the community here to help people? I could understand if he said ......OMG, I brickated my fone.....I hate you guys, you borked my phone.......But he did neither of those. It sounds like he read the guide, and still something got screwed up along the way. It happens. But there really isn't a need for posts like this.
Does anyone have a fix to help me???
My Phone detects no service at all... zero bars....
the wifi works, the bluetooth, pretty much the whole rom.
I just flashed the VRALF ROM directly from samsung and still nothing...
My IMEI and ICCID are there...My MEID is also there (dec and hex)
My PRL version is there... still no ERI
It says the signal strength is -120 dBM 99 asu

This owner had a similar problem, perhaps - they fixed the IMEI and related issues as described in a helpful link and their followup post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984608&highlight=imei
You might consider taking the suggested link within that thread, then doing what the original poster did to restore their phone's configuration and see if that helps get out of roaming.

Its all fixed... thanks to everyone who helped...
Check out the thread "Comprehensive IMEI Backup" in the android dev section for complete, 100% security in flashing. Its imperative that new users view this thread before flashing anything. No idea why its not stickied or made apparent in the rooting guides.

What did you end up doing to fix it. Just for future reference.
So this morning I was playing with menus I saw in other threads. After playing around, my device rebooted. I am no longer listed as custom in the device status menu, nor upon boot. The steps are below and hopefully someone can recreate what happened. I'm sure this would be useful for people who need warranty repair.
Dial *#9090#
Press menu, then key input.
Enter 1, press ok.
At this point my device rebooted, and bam custom status was gone. I'm not sure if it matters, but I was rooted with the new method for MF3 prior to me doing this in the service menu, and root was retained.

That's odd indeed, I just double checked I am still 100% rooted.
I guess a bit more info to try and figure things out is needed.
When I updated to MF3 I had CWR on my device and it was rooted. Obviously MF3 took all of that away. Since then I was stuck with the Samsung Custom logo and the custom status within settings. A few days ago I performed the new root method. This morning I did the dialer and reboot and I kept my root and the custom status went away completely including the logo.

Before MF3 I was rooted but couldn't stop the update. After the MF3 update I rooted with the new method. At that point I was rooted and the custom startup screen was gone but the device status was still custom. I tried your method and it broke root but I was back to secure and normal startup. I then re-rooted and tried your method. This time I retained root but I still have the custom startup and device status.

Thats really odd. I haven't had any issues. We need more people to try it. Perhaps you just need to do a factory reset and then try it. Who knows, it's worked for myself and one other person so far, just need more people to try it.
I was just going to try a factory reset. I'll let you know.
For you guys on mf3, please be careful experimenting with your phones. If you Bork it there is no easy way to recover it. No odin back to stock! No nandroids! You may be waiting for ever for an odin flashable rom.

I'm guessing you'd have a hard time. That's part of the reason they've locked it down so tight.
They are not going to fix it at the store. That is exactly the type of problems they are trying to avoid by locking the device down...

Don't be messing with your phone then.
Good news is after I did a factory reset I am now back to Secure and no custom boot screen even though I am still rooted.
The "custom" on booting takes an additional reboot to go away...if the conditions are right. In other words, it's a good bet the "custom" would have gone away even if you didn't mess with the service menu because it takes two reboots to make it go away.
There a lot of information about this throughout the forums already. Do yourselves a favor and search for "sysscope".

I rebooted it 3 times before I did anything else. I tried everything that has been mentioned in other places (except sysscope) and they didn't work. Factory reset did work though for some reason.

This part confuses me. My notifications bar has never had a black background, its always been transparent over the wallpaper until i swipe down. Are you sure it used to be black?

AP Fastboot Flash Mode
device is locked, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Connect USB data cable

Because you installed it over a rooted phone (which is strange, as it shouldn't work) you're best bet is to flash it back to stock KK, especially if it already applied the trusted zone updates.
Of course, updating to KK 4.4.2 will then allow you to unlock your bootloader.
So, the first step is to flash to KK 4.4.2. Go here and follow the steps (it should keep your data so you won't lose what is on your internal SD card but you WILL lose all other app settings) -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45494-fxz-442-1834610/
Once you have followed all the directions (read, read and read again BEFORE you attempt to do anything), then go here to root and unlock your bootloader -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/46155-info-status-of-root-for-kitkat-build-182183/
Hopefully, you didn't get the latest OTA, If so, you might be hosed as far as getting your bootloader unlocked, but I don't think they've pushed out the latest patch to KK for the XT926.
That should get you back up and running. Again, you will lose your app data (that is not stored on the internal SD card), but your internal and external SD cards will be left alone and intact.
I'm going to try, only problem i foresee is that i need to boot into AP Fastboot to be able to flash, but everytime I try it brings me back to the same error screen. Since that screen is technically AP Fastboot Flash Mode, Im going to try an flash it from there, but Im not sure. Will let you know what happens.
update
So I flashed the new KK as suggested, which was a process in itself, but I got it working anyways. Now I cannot get connected to the mobile network though. It shows my phone number and everything, it just says mobile network disconnected, so I can't make calls or text at all. I'm attempting to connect to T-Mobile BTW, if it makes any difference. Any ideas? Does it have anything to do with the fact that I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet? Not sure why it would, just curious.

that should be the thread for how to do it tell us how it goes, i have no experience with this i am still on Verizon but others say after writing to the phone wait 5 minutes not seconds sorry i rembered wrong before rebooting other wise the settings will not stay
Awesome I was just about to ask for a link, thank you. And I actually got this phone pre-rooted and everything, so the guy before me must have flashed the modem. When I got it I just dropped T-Mobile sim in and it worked just fine. Luckily I'm not new to any of this, I just had a Galaxy s3 running CM11 I believe, but got rid of it and got this. Again, appreciate all the help. Gonna give it a go now and I'll report back soon.

Well I'm about at my wits end on this one. I couldn't get the Moto Diag driver to correctly install to port, so I went with the RadioComm method instead. I followed a tutorial off this site, which I can't link to just yet asbi do not have enough posts. But followed it to a tee, and it seemingly was successful. But after reboot I only showed bars for about a minute, then right back to no service, T-Mobile could not be registered at this time. Nowhere in the comments or in the guide did they mention to wait the 5 minutes after writing with this method, could that possibly be why? I'm really starting to get frustrated at this point...
Alright, so after 3 days of tirelessly pouring over the forums and two different laptops, I'm finally back up and running. I couldn't get the Moto Diag drivers to correctly install to the port, on either computer, (one was running Windows XP SP3, the other Windows 7x64)so using CDMA WS was out of the question all together. I ended up following the tutorial on using RadioComm to flash the modem instead. First attempt was successful, but I immediately rebooted when it was finished writing, and apparently it didn't stick. So I went back, checked first, and it had reverted back from "00" back to "01",meaning it was locked again. So I rewrote it, and this time left it plugged in after if finished for about 10 minutes, then rebooted, and voila, back up and running, no problems since. I repeat, if you are flashing the modem, whether it be with CDMA WS, or RadioComm, YOU MUST WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES AFTER FLASHING BEFORE REBOOT, otherwise it will not stick and your wasting your time. Thank you for all the help, it is very much appreciated.

On a side note, is it really worth unlocking my bootloader? I realize I'm right at the list version where is possible, and all over the forums it's threatened "UNLOCK NOW OR STAY LOCKED FOREVER!", just curious if it's really worth the time and effort. But again, thanks to everyone who helped, and if I may assist anyone else in a similar situation feel free to ask.

I thought I was going to lose my data, didn't realize motopoc would do it without losing everything, so I figured might as well.
I am quite frustrated with MM at this point. My wife's phone Sprint S6 had Lollipop on it, and she set up fingerprint unlock. It did not ask for a pin and there was no backup pin/password set up on the phone. The new MM update rolls around and the policy has changed so that it now requires a pin for the fingerprint unlock and it will not use fingerprint authentication after a reboot or 24 hours of not being used. Well her phone went straight to asking for a pin without one ever being set up and refuses to unlock with a fingerprint. Sprint sent us another phone and I have set it up, but so far the old phone is on and I can do anything you can do with a locked phone on the main screen, take pictures or screenshots, open and close the top menu, but I can't sign in to make any changes. The wifi is on, and it connects to my network. I signed into Android Device Manager and can get it to ring, attempt to reset the lock code which does put up another lock screen but it will not let me unlock the phone. Just keeps going back to the pin. She didn't have a Samsung account so I can't use the unlock on the Samsung page. Took it to a Sprint service center and they couldn't do squat of course. It was another center that told me to go to that one for help. Guess that was just a couple hours drive time wasted.
I now have a spreadsheet of pins I have attempted and it's an hour between attempts but I am getting nowhere fast, and feel like I am wasting time. Since the bootloader is locked I can't get Odin to update it to TWRP, and I have downloaded 5.1.1 to try and push it back but that too is locked out when I try Odin. I logged into the bootloader and have tried to Apply Update from ADB, but I can't seem to find an OTA version of 5.1.1 for Sprint SM-G920P. I can find the .tar.md5 version bit Odin will not let me put it on, I am assuming because it isn't letting me go backward.
I did manage to get all of my contacts off the phone because we still hadn't deleted the bluetooth connection to our car, and it pulls all of the contacts to the car when you connect a phone. So I let it connect to the car, pulled the contacts and then used my phone to video as I scrolled through the contacts and expanded the ones that were truncated on the screen.
The only thing I want now would be some of the pictures, and I can't get to those since there's no micro SD card on an S6. So at this point I don't know if this is just a rant or if someone knows if there is anything I can possibly Update through ADB to help me get into my phone? I have a few more days before I have to send it back to Sprint as they called and wanted it already, but I told them they needed to give me more time since someone (Sprint, Google, or Samsung) let this particular scenario slip by before they pushed this update. Having the phone just sitting here beeping with updates and updating software all the while not letting me in is like it's just screwing with me. If it would just allow the fingerprint to unlock this would be done. Anyone have any ideas?

So you have tried the sprint stock Marshmallow Odin tar and it's not working ? AND BY YOU CONNECTING YOUR PHONE TO THE PC I'M GUESSING YOU CAN'T SEE THE PICS BECAUSE OF THE NEW MARSHMALLOW PERMISSIONS U HAVE TO ALLOW IT FIRST CAN'T JUST CONNECT IT LIKE BEFORE AND THE STUFF POPS UP ?

Yes. The file I tried to upload was the stock 5.1.1 (1648503226 Apr 27 18:36 G920PVPU2BOF7_G920PSPT2BOF7_SPR.zip wrong file this is the one I tried with Odin - 3662786727 Jun 12 2015 G920PVPU2BOF7_G920PSPT2BOF7_G920PVPU2BOF7_HOME.tar.md5 ) for the G920P. The phone has always been stock. I get an error with if I recall LRP and it shows the version numbers and will not allow the update to load. Odin fails pretty quickly. If I try and upload the TWRP bootloader it will show it uploading and then fails the write as the bootloader lock is on.
Correct, I can't see the pics, and didn't have USB debugging turned on either, otherwise there was a chance that I could have used adb to do a backup. It was my wifes phone so I didn't mess with it. In hindsight I guess I should have, and will definitely be correcting this on the replacement.

It currently has 6.0.1 on it, and I don't think reloading the same version will help any, since it's the policy of the new MM update to require a pin on a restart, which is what happened here. When the new phone came in it still had 5.1.1 on it, and I went through and verified that setting up fingerprint authentication didn't require a pin. I did turn it back off so we wouldn't get bit by the same issue twice. I also took a screenshot of the 6.0.1 MM update where it mentions the new fingerprint rules. Seems to me they forgot about people who might have set up fingerprint verification and not had a required pin. I have tried over 30 different pins that we can think of, including the last 4 of the phone number, etc. No luck and I am just about to give up.

I will go read that right now. I am almost ready to go to the bootloader and "Wipe Cache Partition" also to see if that will maybe get it to where it let's me attempt to get back in using the gmail account.
Which leads me to a side rant. The gmail account on the phone was set to sync everything and I figured when I logged into the new phone it would all (at least contacts and calendar entries) just re-sync and download. Nope. Nothing. So I entered new contacts into the new phone, made sure sync was set up, and logged into google with the account and nothing had synced up. I had to tell it to sync manually on the PC before it pulled anything from the phone. Make sure and check your google account folks. Make sure it's actually syncing your data and not just saying it is.
Off to read the thread and see how it goes. I will report back.
Yea I noticed that with Google and the syncing learned that a few years back lol but that thread should be able to help and once u put a custom rom u should be good to go

It didn't work. I get "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock. And I can't get in to turn on the OEM Unlock. I guess my next step will be deleting the cache from the bootloader and see if that resets something to let me re-try via the google account. I am not going to do the factory reset until I am putting it back in the box, but at this point I don't have much to lose.
But a factory reset would not delete your pics and stuff that might be what u need because that's a bug
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
I did not know it would keep the data. When I go to the bootloader there is the option "Wipe data/Factory reset". So I just assumed that was the nuke option. Or do I need to google or search here for factory reset? I am also downloading the 6.0.1 stock firmware to attempt to see if it will upload through Odin. This phone gets sent back in a few days so I can't really screw it up and I am not worried about tripping Knox or anything like that. So it's about another 5 hours to dl, as I am on a sloooow connection. Might read up on the factory reset and hit the hay. It's 1:30AM here and I can pick this up tomorrow. Appreciate all of the help and sticking with me.

Let me know how those 2 methods work out for u mate
Am saving the factory reset for a last resort as from what I read it wipes everything and since the S6 has no card to remove... The download didn't complete so I just restarted. Couple of hours to go.
I got the MM update to successfully upload, but as I figured I am in the same position. I even tried swapping out the recovery.img with another from a rooted firmware, but the FRP lock kept it from loading. So now it's just back to trying pin numbers. And I am about up to about the 40th one since I started logging them. I am sure I have duplicated some of the ones we tried earlier, but since there was nothing set initially I am really just wasting my time I guess. So I will keep an eye here and maybe by the end of the week just wipe the device and put it in the mail back to Sprint. Again, thanks for the help.
Officially gave up on it tonight. Sprint is calling and threatening that if we don't send the phone back they will charge us the full amount so times up. Tried well over 40 possible pins, tried flashing a different firmware, tried flashing twrp, even tried cobbling together a firmware package with twrp stuck inside. No dice. You win Samsung/Google/Sprint.
So beware folks, if you are running Lollipop and using fingerprint authentication and don't have a pin set, switch to another type of unlock before it updates to Marshmallow. Or else you could be stuck in the same predicament as I was. I realize it's a possibly rare combo of settings, but I saw someone in the Sprint repair center the same time I was in there with the same problem.
Hope someone is up for a challenge.
Yesterday I went to Metro PCS to port my number and phone to them after using Sprint for 15 years.
They told me it was locked and I need to have it unlocked.
So I came home and found a guy on here to do it for me, Unlock.
I went back the lady registered the phone and sim and made a call to her store number and it rang.
I went outside and tried to call my wifes phone to make sure it would work and it tells me its connecting to Sprint network and I need to enter a credit card# to use it.
I went back today and they entered the APN info. and spent an hour with customer service and couldnt fix it.
They told me to wait 2 days and see if it would come on later in the week after they looked at their system.
HELP i need my phone.
what OS are you on? many stock OS's wont let an APN change stick, so itll revert back to trying to use sprint towers instead of the t-mobile stuff youre entering in the APN settings. Who did the unlock for you? If youre rooted, i suggest the marshmallow version of the resurrection remix ROM as it has all the APNs built in and all you have to do is select it. I use H2O wireless, and it had it listed in the APN choices.
did assadnow2k do the unlock? or stifilz?

As far as what Os am i on I have no clue. I use whatever one they have posted for the MOAR 7 flash.
Please can you provide a website or instruction.
I know how to flash and install stuff sort of.

ive even had it to where MOAR wouldnt allow me access to the area where you edit the APN, all you need to do in those instances is dirty flash (reinstall the ROM without wiping anything) and reboot, then itll again allow you access to that menu and youre off to the races again.

yep. youre far better off that way. The stock ROM isnt too friendly with APN changes. Ive been using GSM on my G900P for about 10 mos now via several different MVNOs (cell service resellers like straight talk, boost, cricket, etc ect) and the stock ROMs just arent the best for this. Also, the best unlocking service out there that ive ran into is http://www.idoneapps.com/ They just know exactly what theyre doing, and have the moderators that provider the backup for their product that can guarantee that itll work.

yep. youre far better off that way. The stock ROM isnt too friendly with APN changes. Ive been using GSM on my G900P for about 10 mos now via several different MVNOs (cell service resellers like straight talk, boost, cricket, etc ect) and the stock ROMs just arent the best for this. Also, the best unlocking service out there that ive ran into is http://www.idoneapps.com/ They just know exactly what theyre doing, and have the moderators that provider the backup for their product that can guarantee that itll work. They rock.

Ok so i just install MOAR and go where on it to the APN settings?
Dang it I forgot how to install MOAR.
Its on my phone as a zip file do i extract it?
system settings, cellular networks, more networks, access point names. Hit the plus button on the top right, add your stuff, hit the bottom left button hit save, hit back once, select the apn you added give it a few seconds, youre all set

NO!!!! dont extract it. Boot into recovery, select backup and restore, make a backup, select factory reset, select install, select your zip, let it install, boot. itll take like 10 min to boot the first time and itll get pretty hot
