Help please! I lost texting and calling ability! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Last night I flashed a copy of cm10 I downloaded from Rootz. After it flashed I seemingly lost all texting and calling ability. I've tried restoring my backup of CleanRom as well as flash a copy of the new Synergy build. Unfortunately nothing seems to be working and my texts keep failing and I can't make calls. Can anyone help?

Check and see if your IMEI is still intact. Go to Settings, About Phone, Status and scroll down and locate the IMEI line, it SHOULD NOT be all zero's. If it is, you've lost it in the flashing of your ROM.
Here's a thread on backing it up and recovering it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

It's not all zeros, I did check that at first - the IMEI # matches the one printed on the phone's label

I just had this issue. Go to the phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* this will open advances settings. Go to phone info and scroll down to "preferred network type" and make sure it is set to lte/CDMA pro auto. Might need a reboot after.

Well I think I might be screwed... Tried resetting with ODIN like this said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 and now I can't actually boot - the phone tells me that I have non-verizon software installed and that I should just take it into a verizon store

If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it. I'd rather not have to go deal with those goons.
Thanks!

Well I just Odin'd back to stock, re-rooted and flashed synergy. Again, no texting or calling ability, yet I still have data. I'm outdoors in the middle of the city, so there's no reason it shouldn't be working.. I decided to call Verizon as well just to see, and they can't figure out what's going on either. The SIM card shouldn't be bad if I'm getting full 4G, right? Maybe I'll run down and pick up a new one to try.

Now that you're re-rooted, do the steps I linked to in my initial reply that are in the second post of CM10.1 thread. See if that helps. You don't need a new sim, it's a known issue with CM10.1.

Correct Kies exe for recent ICS.

I've gone to the link provided in the txt message sent my AT&T and downloaded Kies, but it keeps asking for it to update...I uninstalled and reinstalled and no luck. Anyone have the correct ICS Kies exe they can post?
Thanks in advance, and yes I also have a Galaxy Note and successfully updated that but having trouble with Skyrocket.

I could've sworn I stated it keeps asking to update...Maybe I wasn't clear, I've updated it 10 times but nothing. I've uninstalled 3 times and reinstalled and nothing. I know Samsung is experiencing issues with their servers, initially that's the same issue alot of us Note users had. Someone was able to post the correct version of Kies (exe file), but can't seem to be happening for the skyrocket.
Edit the registry, remove kies entries, reboot, reinstall
See how that does

First off if you and everyone else who posted and or replied would've read the OP, you would've seen what I was asking. FYI child I ain't no kid, one simple question was asked and idiots like you reply the wrong way. So first off if you want to be helpful I'd change the way you approach or reply to people's comments and do some reading. You do know how to read right? Not trying to be rude or be an asshole by saying so but many people on here think they big and bad, when in the "Real" world they nothing but scrubs. Again one simple question was asked, but people need to take the time to read before looking like jackasses and replying with something not even close to the original question asked.

Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1 google search for that version, it will want to update so let it.
i though it was a problem so i uninstall'd my kies then installed this did the update and all is working as it should.
so i can confirm this ver works on a win 7 x64 if it still wants to update after updating it then there is something wrong with your computer,
give it a try.

[FIX] No service after flash fix

If you don't have service after flashing a Jelly Bean ROM or Justin's GAPPS follow these simple instructions.
1. Go to the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#*
2. Click on "Phone Information"
3. You should notice almost towards the bottom radio settings, Make sure the radio is on and change the settings from WCDMA to GSM (auto)
4. Exit out of the screen by pressing the back button
5. Reset the phone and you will have service.
If your phone keeps reverting to WCDMA follow these directions
1. Use GTG's Ultimate Unbrick here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
2. When you are reverted to stock rom, use Super 1 Click to root. which can be found here http://shortfuse.org/ Restart phone.
3. Follow these instructions to get 3e then clockwork Recovery on your phone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881 PM me if you need Root Explorer APK
4. Boot into recovery. FULL WIPE DATA DALVIK EVERYTHING
5. Flash ICS Rom of your choice. I recommend Paranoid Android which you can find here. http://d-h.st/NMp don't bother with GAPPS for now
6. Boot up android and reboot into recovery FULL WIPE DATA DALVIK EVERYTHING
7. Flash the Jelly Bean ROM of your choice. I recommend Unofficial CM10 8/31 - Butter - MTD which can be found here http://d-h.st/MZ9 Don't bother with Kernel or GAPPS for now
8. If you have a boot loop that's normal, pull out the battery, re flash then reboot into android
9. Once the device is booted, make sure you have a strong signal and can make phone calls. THEN reboot into recovery
10. Flash OC Kernel and GAPPS of your choice. MAKE SURE to use this kernel http://d-h.st/mcN if you used Unofficial CM10 8/31 - Butter - MTD. I recommend Justin's GAPPS which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292
11. Reboot and viola! You should have service for ever and ever.
This no service problem is caused by your IMEI getting wiped when you flash straight from stock to jelly bean.

Then its a deeper problem...flashing back to stock won't break your SIM, atleast it shouldn't and I've never heard of it happening
What program did you use? Odin or heimdall? If it was Odin did you check the box for clear efs, if you did check the box that may be the problem...
Go to settings, then about phone/status and look for your imei...is it their or is it blank/or weird symbols?

bars are right up on the signal indicator. but i cant make or recieve calls. in the "status" it says "phone number...unknown" "network...unknown" "service state...unknown" "mobile network state...disconnected"
phone worked great yesterday but this morning when i woke up i heard the couple short vibrations that u get when there is an error. heard these a couple times, took out battery and rebooted. now it cant find the network. tried my sim in a captivate and it works fine. please help
Out shopping or I would give links. Sounds like a missing IMEI. Do a search but I am pretty sure reflashing might help. Which ROM are you on? Try flashing Scott's Unofficial CM10. If that doesn't work, you will probably have to go back to stock. Once you get it, do an EFS backup using Zenarcade's toolkit. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

it's stock froyo 2.2. my phone is rooted but i never had the balls to flash a custom ROM. i tried a factory reset but that didnt solve the problem. I even tried upgrading with kies mini but i keep getting a msg saying that it cannot be upgraded. i bought this phone used from the states and i am from trinidad. it worked great for a year and now this problem. i dont really have much experience with flashing and rooting etc.
i would really need a step by step guide to fix this problem.

Hey Guys,
I rooted my phone last night, tested out CM10, and then restored my original stock backup just so I could have everything fully functioning for today. As of now, I am still rooted with CWM touch as my recovery. I am not getting cell service. I have done a battery pull and gone in and out of airplane mode. But still no luck. One thing, when I loaded CM10 stable, this "Activating" screen came up on first boot, and would'nt go away, so I did a battery pull, and just restored. I hope that didn't reprovision my phone and do something stupid. Any help would be appreciated. If not, I am about to go full stock restore, and call Verizon crying (from a working phone.)
Update* - I am getting random incoming text messages. But I can't respond or make outgoing calls. Also, in phone info, I have an IMEI # (or whatever), but it shows mobile data as disconnected (proabbly b\c I am on wifi).
P.S - Thread search tools are not available. So don't yell at me.
The search never works for me. Give this read. I don't rum CM or know if this will even help your situation.

Thank you so much!! Step two worked for me perfectly. No more flashing nightlies. Ever.
Note* - I actually flashed 10.1 first, you know, because it makes perfect sense to flash an unstable build BEFORE testing your phone with a stable one (idiot move on my part). I then flashed stable 10.0, but it was too late. This is my first sim card phone, all my android devices over the past 5 years have been on sprint, and have been HTC. Steep learning curve on my part. But now I know. Thank you guys for you quick help.
There's a lot to learn, glag it works.
Just make sure you back up your imei and never flash a rom that's not made for the Verizon gs3.

I was just reading on the backup process. It's whole new host of pitfalls with a new device\carrier.
Thanks again guys.

Easiest to flash Synergy and it will make a flashable IEMI backup on initial flash.

[Q] Help. No calls. Texting & 4G works. MEID=0?

Hello,
I just received a "pre-owned" phone from Verizon.
After rooting and testing out some roms I realized I can't make calls or text anymore. Mobile network still works.
I was on a nightly build of CM and I thought it might be a bug in the build so I switched to stable build.
After that, I am now able use text messaging and mobile network, but still no phone calls. I've gone back and forth between stable and nightly and I've tried other roms too, still no calls.
After doing some research, I realized that my MEID=000000000 (more or less), and my IMEI=0.
Could that be it? If that was the case, should texting and mobile network not work?
I will try and use odin to go back to stock, but will that repair my MEID/IMEI?
Thanks,
Adrian

You didn't backup your imei by chance did you? You can manually inject your imei with qpst (Google it for a YouTube video) or follow directions in this thread to reprovision your phone. You should also follow the link on the bottom of that thread to fix your eri if you use qpst.

You aren't screwed, it's just a hassle to get everything back. Backing up your imei fixes this issue in like 5 seconds.
Just read through what I gave you and you'll get it back.

Thanks again for helping me out.
I'm downloading the stock odin image (takes forever) and after I flash it I'll try dialing the *2767*3855#.
If that doesn't work though, in that thread you sent me, there's a link to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44871571&postcount=3&nocache=1&z=1185709806159138
Is this the method I should use? If so, the poster gets a little hard to understand (I can't figure out what the forbidden program is), could you elaborate?
If I could get this to work I'll make this into a sweet guide for anyone else in this position.

The labyrinth of link in the forums brought me here:
[[[[http]]]] ://adbtoolkit [[[[dot]]]] com/misc/device/samsung/galaxys3/sch-i535/#.UnyEufk_smk
(sorry, I couldn't post an outside link)
There's a file called: "Samsung_MEID_RepairV3.5.rar".. what is that? is that what I've been looking for?

I never actually looked through what he posted, but I'm confused as well. You're going to have to dig around to find that. I think he's talking about qpst though.

Maybe, it sounds like it, keep reading and see if you can figure out what it's used for.
