Help! Can't send Calls or Texts - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys, I was coming from The Executioner 2.5 rom and flashed CM10.1 nightly d2vzw 123012 for my phone. wiped cache, dalvik, and all the things you need to flash.
I booted up into cm10.1 and could not activate my phone. I had no service and was stuck. people are saying to change CDMA subscription to RUIM? I cannot find that!
ALSO: some texts would come and i would receive them but cannot send texts back. I do see the signal bars and do have 4g. when i try to call it stays at dialing and ends. So then I flashed back to Executioner 2.5 and still have the same problem. Planning on odin to stock
If I have 4g and bars, and can receive texts, do i really need to odin? I tried going into mobile settings and I can't find RUIM... or CDMA subscription?

Having similar problem. Installed the cm10 12/28 nightly. Now I can receive but not send sms, and can't dial out. I've since ODIN'd a rooted stockvrblk3 tried reflashing the modem but no luck.

Try doing this: *2767*3855# my phone is now formatting. I'll tell you what happens.

No VZW service after flashing.....need some guidance please

I was running Paranoid android for a while and all was fine. Phone started glitching , so I did a reinstall. Thats when my mobile service went out. Here what I did.
1. Noticed IMEI was B00000, so i re-copied my backup and IMEI fixed. Still no network.
2. I reflashed a new VZW modem and still no network.
3. Checked out phone info, and it shows no service. Phone Info shows corrected IMEI, network type as LTE/CDMA. But says "searching for service"
4. I went ahead and unlocked, booted in to CWM 6.0.1.0 and installed CM10 and Gapps. All loaded fine, but still no network.
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Try flashing to stock with odin. Once you're back to stock dial:
*2767*3855# (which will wipe EVERYTHING on your internal SD and set your phone back to factory restore)

Yup try that, sounds like you didn't reprovision it after restoring your backup
So I reloaded stock everything, locked back up the bootloader, loaded the original modem and took it back to verizon. They popped in a new sim which restored data, but the IMEI still read at 0. Data and calls worked, even got the 4g icon. They said it was fine that it read zero and that it was just a network issue. The look on my face was "wtf?"
flash back to stock

So is it working like it should? and have you flashed a rom to see if it still works?
You can try this. When you said you backed up did you back up with qpst?

Here's how to back up with a tutorial

I haven't had to restored just thought this might help but sounds like it may have worked its self out with Verizon.

Seriously, READ, do this!!!!!
I did same thing as you. Had a backup of my imei that I pushed back to my phone, only nothing happened either. Then I reprovisioned it using this and it went back to 100% working and displaying accurately.

No problem. Glad it's helping some people. I had a roaming/no data issue when I flashed a CM10 nightly and that fixed it for me too, so hopefully more people will realize it's a possible fix for those sorts of problems (assuming they still have their IMEI)

No service

I was on BMc's AOKP for about a month. The GPS was pretty crappy (universal problem I guess) so I flash the GPS fix posted in the dev section. This made my GPS worse, however the rest of my phone was still fine. Since I was going to flash a new ROM to get my semi-working GPS back, I decided to try something new so I flashed the newest stable build of paranoid android to try out hybrid. The phone booted up and then got stuck at activating, I just let it run through and it told me it couldn't activate blah blah blah. From that point on I was out of service. I flashed back to AOKP, still out of service. I Odin'd back to root66, this sent me into a bootloop. So I went though and Odin'd the bootchains -> root66 -> factory reset and the phone booted up just fine. However, I still don't have service. I do have 4g and I can receive text messages, I just can't make/receive calls or send text messages. Also, my IMEI and phone number are correct on my device. Here's a summary:
Reverted back to root66, locked bootloader
IMEI and phone number are intact
Have 4G internet, and can receive text messages
Cannot make or receive calls
can't send text messages
Is my SIM card borked? I'm not sure what else it could be. Thanks.

Not yet, I wanted to eliminate as many possibilities that could be attributed to flashing before I went to them. But if it is just a SIM issue I was going to have them reset it and see if it works.

[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.

Can only send one sms

I have a weird problem where I can only send one sms but when I try to send another it won't go through. I can try to send a message to another person and it won't send either. I am limited to only one. After the one, I can't send sms at all. The only fix is to reboot or toggle the data. Not sure why this started happening. I am running CM 11.0M3. I tried doing a factory reset/cache wipe in recovery and reverting to CM10.2 but didn't fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated!
Using a TouchWiz rom is the only fix right now that I know. Many of us have the same exact issue as you, bud. I don't really think much progress has been made on fixing the issue, too. What I understand is that is actually a problem on Verizon's end.

Try flashing back to stock and doing an NVrestore (only if you've previously done an nvbackup) or reprovisioning your service using *2767*3855# then just go back to CM

What stock base did you odin back to?
Sent from my GT-N5110 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I went all the way back to the root66.tar which I think was vralg1, since it was basically stock plus root so I could use the terminal out of the box.
Same Issue but only in one area.

Hey everyone, I've noticed this myself but only in one small town near my house. Which may very well be verizon towered. Most towers at my house are appalachian wireless or verizon leased to appalachian or vise versa. Either way, it doesn't happen at home. Only in Grundy, VA.
I was wondering if the fix the person posted above worked, and if so couldn't I just do that from a TW 4.3 rom since it should have the dialer that does those types of things, or maybe access a hidden menu somewhere?
Thanks a bunch and my apologies for resurrecting an old thread if this one is.
Grundy, VA huh? Are you at Appalachian?
The fix has been permanent for me, but it requires you to go back to stock ics or jellybean, since the reprovision code doesn't work on 4.2 on up.
For the full fix, download root66 and flash it (after backing up of course). Reprovision. Open a terminal window and type reboot nvrestore. Check if you have am imei. If you don't, reprovision again, open terminal and type reboot nvbackup. Restore your backup and begin testing. The cm11 unofficial nightly thread should have similar directions in the Op.
