Why am I having such trouble going to an AOSP ROM can keeping 4G/Data? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I know of the issue with the 4.2 ROMs. You must perform some tricks, such as change CDMA subscription, etc.. but that's not working for me. Still stuck on Roaming
So instead, everyone says.. flash a 4.1 AOSP ROM, and then dirty flash into 4.2. OK, so that doesn't work either, and even checking the CDMA subscription for RIUI or whatever, I still get stuck on Roaming.
As soon as I wipe and restore my TouchWiz backup, I'm back to no problems.
What is my plan of action in order to get a working 4.2 AOSP ROM? I've tried Wiping, 4.1 -> 4.2, and no go.
Help? I'm usually great at hacking, flashing, etc.. I got a 4.2 ROM working once, but forgot to create a backup. Now I can't get one working again.

Did you reboot after changing subscription?

Tried several reboots in both 4.1, and 4.2 with clean flashes. Tried it also in the 4.1 -> 4.2 dirty flash..
The setting sticks after a reboot, but still in R mode.

Ok try this... install cm 10.1 with no g apps. This will take you straight past the activation screen. Nor only do you change subscription but also network to automatic. Then reboot. I believe it's network. Can't remember exactly but it's right above the other one. I'm not on a 4.2 ROM to see right now but I know this works for me.

[Q] No service after new ROM flash

I previously had CM10 (experimental) and was having issues with crashes so I decided to flash a new ROM on my device.
I then chose to flash onto LiquidSmooth 4.2.1. After playing around in Liquid, I found some bugs and decided to look for a new ROM to flash.
I chose to flash to CM10.1 Nightly, which I know has data issues. I wiped pretty much everything prior -Dalvik, formatted my SD, formatted system, and whatnot. After my first boot, the phone could not finish "activating the network"
Right now I cannot send/receive calls or texts or have data. I have a small "R" at the top of my signal bars where 4G usually is. I have tried dialing *#*#4636#8#* and made sure LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) was selected.
Would flashing to stock ROM resolve this issue? Or what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance

I feel like this ROM is taking a little longer then usual to install.
Upgrading from CM7 CWM 5. Been on the "installing update..." with about 80% done for about 10 minutes now.
I've never had this happen before.
Did a factory reset before upgrading.

FYI, make sure that you upgrade from CM9 to CM10 then to CM10.1... If you start from CM7 you can have serious problems, especially of your only on CWM 5... You should be on CWM 6.
It still may work, but its highly unlikely...

Try flashing an android version on 4.x.x
According to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103009
You must be on at least an ICS rom.
I actually got tired of waiting and pulled the battery. Turned the phone back on expecting to be f'd. To my surprise I was booting into CM10.1 Aries,
Not sure what went wrong but all seems OK so far.
Is anyone else having WiFi authentication problems? It won't work on my device...

When you say Device Settings are not working, does that mean everything in the 4.2.2 Device category in System Settings (Sound, Display, Storage, Battery, Apps, and Advanced), or just the SGS4G Settings under Advanced?
Before I update, does Adobe Flash works or not (if I reinstalled it)?!

I flashed from beanstock (TWRP) and got hung at the bootloader. I had to 1click to stock, get on CM 10.1 (CWM 6). Then flash Aries CM 10.1.
It looks like you need to flash from CWM 6.

I spent exactly ten minutes pulling pictures of the internet and merging them together to get this lovely thing that I made in a weak celebration of the Aries Kernel being releasedish. Feel free to use/disregard it as you wish :3

Try downloading again and reflash. I flashed the new cm and it worked fine.

I'm having the same issue. I've got data, but can't make phone calls.
I've tried using Odin to flash a stock rom and still have the same results.
What version of CM did you flash to get it working?
I was using the 10.1.0 from the cm website. They have the new 10.1.0.1 release up now and I have not used that. Everything worked. Just flashed back this morning because I like bonestock rom features
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yup
I went ahead and flashed CM 10.1.0.1 along with the MF1 firmware just a little bit ago and I was having a constant no SIM error. Couldn't get it fixed, wiped everything but the external SD and tired again, changed the LTE mode back, still no go. So I ultimately just flashed back to my backup of CleanROM and rolled back to the MB1 firmware for my cameras sake.
I'll just wait until some more of the bugs get ironed out. I really miss having stable AOSP on my Droid Incredible, I was on CM7 from its initial release till retirement and beyond.
It seems like its kind of a hit or miss type of deal. Some phones work just fine, others, not so much.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344204
Same problem, its just the "stable releases" are jacked up. Flash a nightly and the baseband (and google apps) and you'll be fine.
Oh, and go into settings and change SIM mode from NV to SIM, then reboot. You'll be good to go.

[Q] Data, MMS, Wifi issues

I would first like to say I'm pretty competent in reading instructions and the "how to's"
But recently every time I flash a rom, my mms stops working either right after a flash or up to a day later.
Also the wifi and data don't seem to stay connected, they just randomly drop.
This goes for any rom I flash, any help or ideas would be awesome.
Laz
I'm not too expert on these topic but I would say it has to do with the radios, since you're having problems with data, wifi and MMS.

I did a full restore and wiped everything possible, then went through the motions again. If I stay on a 4.1.2 rom, it doesn't seem to effect it at all, but once I flash 4.2.2 or higher is when it starts happening again. I guess this is what I signed up for once I started flashing lol

Have not tried that one, have you tried CM or Liquid Smooth? Just to see if the problem depends on the rom, and not the Android version.

i have installed many rom into my xoom but all of its cannot work (or work very badly), but in almost title of theart about rom isnot show the verson of xoom . can someone show me a stable rom for my verizon xoom.
SR FOR MY ENGLISH.
Honestly, in my experience, if you want a completely stable, fully functional rom for the Stingray, stick with stock. EOS and CM10.1 both randomly lock up on me, and by doing the BigPart partition and moving into the KitKat roms, you run the risk of being in the group that lost data functionality (myself included). If I can find a solution for the data issues myself and others are having on KitKat, I'll post back here, though.

I haven't. I've been bouncing back and forth between EOS4/CM10?1 (both of which have data BigParted, as long as you use the ElementalX kernel) and CM11/Omni 4.4 (neither of which I've been able to get data working on).

I'm sorry I just misunderstood. I have done the same thing... switched back and forth from Omni and CM11 on BigPart, and never had functional data service. I switched back to EOS and I now have 3G data, no LTE. My Xoom shows no IMEI number. I'm assuming the same thing is going on with yours? I've been reading up trying to figure out how to flash back to stock because the internet in general seems to agree that method is the only way to restore a lost IMEI. I'm going to try it this weekend if I have time.

Using either the testing menu or the LTE On/Off app, I'm able to get my IMEI back on EOS, CM10.1, Omni, and CM11; however, I still can't get 4G on EOS or CM10.1 and I can't get any data on Omni or CM11. If you want to go back to stock, you'll need to undo the BigPart first. To do that, just follow the steps to BigPart it, but in the first step, flash the regular RAH TWRP and not the BigPart one. From there, I'm not entirely sure. I'll do some research and post another reply if I find anything.

Any rom that says "Stingray" in the title of the thread will work. There are several of them in the Xoom Android Development forum. Just be careful you don't try to install a rom that says BigPart unless you do the BigPart repartition.
