Just got my GS3 yesterday. Rooted before I paid for it I'm running the stock OS with root but I seem to lose my data connection constantly. It stays lost until I toggle airplane mode. Any way to fix this? Thanks

I have this same problem, but it happened to me after I had lost my IMEI and then manually injected it myself. I've ready tried reprovisioning about 3 times, but to no avail. Idk if our problem is caused by the same thing or not, but it is extremely bothersome, isn't it? I wish some genius could help us

I didn't do anything with the IMEI except back it up using the terminal emulator and the "reboot nvbackup" command. Not even sure if it did anything or not. How do you reprovision the phone? What does that even [claim to] do? A google search shows a lot of people complaining about this. I hope someone comes along and helps too.

If you reprovision, it will wipe all your data and such. Idk if you wanna try it. I only tried it because someone suggested it, but it was pointless. So, if you were gonna try that, you would want to nandroid backup first. The way to reprovision if you're interested is dial *2767*3855# that'll do the trick for you. I hope someone comes along to help as well. After a while some fix usually comes around. Just gotta be patient sometimes

Interesting. I wonder what the reprovisioning actually does. I didn't flash CWM yet since I'm running the stock bootloader, and it is locked. I heard that unlocking the bootloader can cause trouble if an OTA update changes things on it.

I would suggest that you just download ROM Manager from the app store, open it up, and at the very top it will say flash clockwork mod recovery. Hit that and it should be a done deal. Let me know if you have any problems

Thanks. That worked, and I now have CWM installed. I also did a backup to internal SD. Is the SGS3 like the Galaxy Nexus? (Meaning that even rooted, the stock OS will overwrite CWM with the default bootloader)

I know, it might be a while. On the plus side mine seems to be behaving, but I haven't changed physical locations since the last time I had to toggle Airplane mode. We'll have to see what happens when I leave work.

About data/signal issue, that's not your IMEI. It more than likely is your sim card. I had to get 2 replacements from Verizon due to a weak signal. Another simple thing to try is to be sure data roaming is ON in the settings menu, and restart. That is known to work. Rooting prob did not cause this to happen, the S3 has signal issues to begin with. Do not start running scripts to attempt to fix without going through the verizon fixes first. Stay on stock rom, hide your root apps and bring in to get sim card. They won't check for root.
Plan B is to call *611 and speak to someone, they can push a signal code through to fix. Don't say your rooted!

Oh but we shall see what happens when I change towers. To compare, and diagnose this issue, how is your phone setup. Mine is as follows:
Purchased at: Small business authorized reseller
Contract: On contract
Purchase date: 9/5/12 (opened a new account, not adding a line)
OS/ROM: Stock 4.0.4
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader: Locked (had it unlocked temporarily to see if I could do it, but I relocked it to diagnose the data issue)
Recovery: CWM
ICS Encryption: Not turned on (I don't think I can use it now that I have CWM installed anyway)
Apps that run at boot: Call Recorder by Skvalex
Root apps installed: SuperUser (duh), Rom Manager, CallRecorder, Terminal Emulator (used it to execute "reboot nvbackup" as a supposed IMEI backup method)

So far all I've done is "reboot nvbackup" to supposedly backup my IMEI, but I have no idea if it did anything. I'll double check data roaming, but I don't want to rack up a roaming bill. Also I don't have to worry about my store finding out if I root. The sales guy helped me root it before I even paid for it.
The guy I dealt with helped with root questions for me too at actually vzw store... Funny! Sim should do the trick. And yes, that script you ran backed your IMEI correctly, so it's not that. Data roaming is to see if it improves issue, if it does, your having network issues that are not phone related. There is no reason to keep that option on unless your lost in the woods and need data!

I know it's IMEI, I was just saying it started happening after I got it back. The Roaming thing didn't work for me. Would you suggest getting a new SIM card first or calling *611?

First partner this is in the wrong section, pretty sure you sent releasing anything. Second it sounds like you sim card went bad, get a new one from Verizon. Also, it doesn't hurt to Odin back to factory it can cure a lot if problems. I like to do it every now and then just to clean up.

So I am a noob but have successfully flashed a few roms onto my phone with no issue. Today I tried to flash cm10.1 and all hell broke loose. I flashed cm10.1 though clockworkmod (now I know that was not correct) and then reset everything and did it though bootrecovery. I also flashed the gaaps and now I do not have data or local cell service. It is showing that I am roaming (like i am out of the country) and asking me if I want the data on and would be charged for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, at this point I have a phone that I cannot use. Thank you in advance

I just flashed the 12/20 version of cm 10.1 without reading the caveat that there was no data. So after realizing my mistake I went back to a nandroid I had of jelly wiz. I thought all was well as my email Facebook etc worked. I checked my idea number and phone number and that was correct, however I am now unable to use anything but the 4G network. ie I have no voice service.
Can some one please help me as it's driving me to distraction trying to find ways to fix it
I just looked and now it's showing me as not having my phone number correct it has a number of zeros and a 4digit number. The imei number still shows as correct though.

Just got back into cell phone range. Thanks for the info. I flashed an unofficial cm10.1 build. And did what was suggested. Thankfully I now have a fully working phone again. However beware that some of your data maybee lost. I'm not sure why. I think it is due to the way android 4.2 deals with multiple users. Make sure you back up all data off your device. A backup with titanium did not work for some apps, the XDA developer app amongst them btw.

I'm going to go overboard and deep NOOB, and ask if i have restored to stock, and still have this issue, do I need to re-root and then flash CM10.1 to get the radio portion working again?
Once i have it working correctly, how do I flash a different ROM {AOKP} to prevent this from happening again?

this is to fix mms messaging on metropcs flashed verizon galaxy s3. place zip on sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash the zip then reboot. once phone boots up go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, access point names. you will see lte-verizon internet apn click on it to activate apn then reboot. once booted back up send yourself a mms message, it may hang on sending/pending if so turn on airplane mode, then turn off airplane mode and all should be good. this was tested on 4.1.2 with verizon sim in the phone. with non-verizon sim or no sim in had to use apn manager to activate apn

Verizon phones usually are factory unlocked but that doesn't matter for flashing it that only matters if u want to put it on metropcs gsm. As for flashing its basically the same but verizon u will prob have to enable hidden menu and when u flash connect to it send spc and set it to nv only then reboot then reconnect write prl and flash as normal
