[Q] Can't connect to Verizon after flash - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I helped a friend of mine root and flash his Galaxy S3 yesterday.. He ended up not liking the ROM we flashed onto the phone because MMS was not working on it. It was the Team Venom ROM I believe.. Then we tried flashing another ROM today (Illusion 1.1.1) and it messed up his service completely. The phone wouldn't connect to Verizon's network at all (it wouldn't send/receive text messages or phone calls) so we tried going back to Team Venom because we know it worked.. Now no matter what ROM we attempt to flash, it just either says, "Searching for service..." or "Hands free setup failed, retrying."
We attempted going through some steps we found in a post here on XDA about changing CDMA mode to RUIM, but there is no option for RUIM mode in his network settings.
I have at&t and have no idea how Verizon's network works or how to fix it, so some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It should have an option for sim in CDMA subscription type. Also go to phone status is his imei there?

what "same thing" and have you done the following:
check your phone status in system
system >about phone >phone status
if your imei is correct (a bunch of long numbers) then do following:
if you can boot up and just can't connect, go into system:
system settings >more >mobile networks >CDMA Subscription >select RUIM/SIM
this should fix your non-connect problems. IF YOU have done all this, and it still doesn't work, starting hitting google to find a solution that works, as this has been the main culprit.

Phone Number/MIN changing along with CDMA subscription

New issue, maybe I narrowed it down,
My phone number only seems to switch when I'm under "NV" for my CDMA subscription. It appears to be randomly switching back to NV periodically. If I put it in airplane and switch it back, it will correct my phone number and allow some messages to be sent. Any info on what settings should be there how to keep that from switching or any other info regarding this?
My phone number is currently showing up as 000-000-3720
My MIN is currently showing up as 0000003720
I do have a IMEI and MEID

It is with any and every rom. Is the link you provided typical of only Cyanogen roms? I have done the first step but it only temporarily fixes it and then it automatically reverts back. I have done the second step with the sim removed. Hopefully that works. Ill keep you updated.

That's not Cyanogen specific it's AOSP rom specific. If it keeps happening to you a lot then the only thing I could tell you is to stick with TW roms.

Hmm, that may be a problem. What does it do after you pull the battery? Can you pull the battery then try booting back into download mode? Cuz there's not much I can suggest unless you can boot back into download mode.
I can get into download mode. I guess im going to try and follow one of these Unbrick tutorials with odin..
You need to Odin again . use the invisiblek file wipe. Put in DL mode and Odin again. Upon boot factory reset call Verizon as and they will provision. It will appear to fail. But then flash aosp and then reset ruim sim from nv then set to automatic then reboot. That is how I fixed the issue many times.

Good, Odin flash (in PDA!) either VRALG1 or VRBLK3 tar using Droidstyle's guide in the dev section. Root/unlock afterwards. You shouldn't need the soft brick method.

Just recovered neighbors s3 using this method. Usually you won't need provisioning but if you do either use th method in threads located in xda or if unable call big red and they will eventually do it . Which in this case I had her call. I was in her home. Lol What it does is reprovision SIM. And usually will fail on their end but flashing back to aosp and toggling the above setting you should be ok . I'm not sure but honestly I've done this many times for people and myself. There are other ways and in some cases provisioning isn't needed...anyway good luck ..let us know ..I just couldn't believe as I was responding to your post she had knocked 30 minutes later...lmao. .

Your efs may be hosed which wouldn't be good. That's above my grade level. See if cschmitt can help. He's your only hope of it is a hosed efs.

Thanks for the help so far...
So here is where i am at now..
Have flashed Slim Bean, and various radios, I had the factory firmware on there for a while, it up and running, I have and IMEI number, my sim card it being picked up as it says rogers, but it says "no service".. it's weird because in the APN settings, it gets the settings from the network, they are there (rogers LTE) so it must be connecting somehow right ?
I have tried searching for available networks, nothing comes up, it's like my attennas are off or broken.
Is there any way to force my phone to see if has any antenna working or something ?
Thanks guys for the help, your the best, but I might need a new phone.

[Q] Galaxy s3 apn verizon

I just walked into an Att store. I set my verizon galaxy s3 to gsm mode and put the att sim card in my phone. I chose manually the att network. My verizon phone worked calling out and in and sending and receiving text messages but I could not change the apn to att. Is there an app or a way to open the apn settings on the sch I535 with an app or manually?
You have to root it, then install APN manager pro and titanium backup pro. Change APN manager pro to system app in titanium backup. Then you can change the APN. Also, freeze setup wizard in titanium backup to remove the non Verizon sim message.

Thanks. I was hoping not to root my phone. I have tired 3 times and soft bricked it. Luckily I was still able to put it in download mode and found stock rom and got it going again.

Is the network set to GSm? and then to AUTO? also can you add a screenshot of your version so that i can see if it is the same or different? mine was grayed out initially but once i put a sim in that it worked fine! also how did you update the phone to MF1 without being on verizon'?

I updated to mf1 while on Verizon, my verizon is the same as your screenshots. While on Verizon I can not change pans. I tried to change them when I had the AT&T SIM card in the phone, but it did not let me. I will have to try it again with an AT&T SIM card.

Thanks for all the replys and help. I did 2 things downloaded an app that was supposed to send apn settings to my phone when an att or tmobile sim card was installed, the app did not work. But, after I put in the sim card and went to the apn menu as mentioned in an earlier response I could set up the new apn settings for either att or t-mobile. So my Verizon Galaxy s 3 not only works on Verizon as a CDMA phone but also as a GSM Phone, too with data.

I would reflash the Hyperdrive ROM with no theme. I've had that happen a few times when applying a theme to my ROM. if you flash the Hyperdrive ROM and it still doesn't work I'd flash a different ROM.
After flashing, (of course after full wipe) test calls and messages and contacts apps. Then if you flash a mod or theme after that. Try your phone,text and contacts again. If they do not work, then your theme has borked them.
I have tried re flashing the ROM and still nothing i wiped everything that needed to be wiped before flashing and still nothing. I didn't think a theme would make this happen. But I guess another ROM wouldn't hurt to see if it works then. Will post back after and I might need some help though if it does not work

Assuming you didn't make a back up, you're going to have to restore it. Here's the link to a tutorial: http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79
It is pretty involved so make sure you read the instructions carefully. Are you familiar with ODIN, because the first thing you have to do is flash back to a stock rooted ROM. Use this thread for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
If you don't feel comfortable doing all of it I would get somebody that does. You can easily hard brick your phone using ODIN. Also, ODIN will completely erase your internal memory. So I would make a backup of any photos/files you need before proceeding.

help, please!!!!
I'm not really a newbie, but haven't really had an android in my hands for a while and EVERYTHING IS SO DIFFERENT!!!! I have a gs3 (sch-s968c) which is the galaxy s3 available from straight talk. I wanted to reserve power and take out all the bloatware, so I attempted to root it, using Odin. I tried it 7 times so far and it has not been successful. Now when I enter recovery mode I keep getting a screen that says:
odin mode
product name:sch-s968c
custom Binary download: yes (7 counts)
current binary: Custom
system status: official
qualcomm secureboot: enable
followed by: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
Here's the issues: I did not ensure that I had the correct drivers and didn't have kies set up (new to kies). I can not find drivers for this exact model, and the computer is not recognizing my phone when it's plugged in (no opportunity to explore phone files)
Right now I have the sd card out (it came from a sorry explanation for a droid from straight talk (lg optimus, I think). I CAN STILL, HOWEVER, GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I've lost service as well. I rooted using the Impactor method. Root was successful, I downloaded and successfully flashed the latest version of CWM Touch Recovery, then I flashed the newest version of BeanStalk ROM. The phone wouldn't get passed the "Select Language" section without bootlooping. So I pulled the battery, booted back into Recovery, wiped and re-installed my Nandroid backup. After I restored, my phone wouldn't receive service or data. Also, under About Device/Status, the network now says Unknown, Mobile network type says Unknown, Service state says Out of service, and my Phone number also says Unknown. How do I re-register my device back onto the Straight Talk network?? If I install CM 10.2 will that fix my issues? Or am I at the mercy of the Straight Talk Customer Service gurus? Is there anyway to manually program my device back onto the network?

This APP is asking for a SIM card to be inserted into a GSM phone. MY phone is the CDMA variant that doesn't use a SIM card. Is there any other way to get this phone registered onto the network? I guess I'm about to call Straight Talk to see what their tech support (if any) can figure out.

at home, i have the packet for the BYOP plan, and in it is a QR code for both GSM and another for CDMA versions.. This is supposed to take you to download an app that will up your settings for you. Guess the linked one above is for GSM only. When i get home, I will scan that and give you the latest link.
Good luck with Straight talk "support"..

That would be greatly appreciated! The Straight Talk support line was of no help at all. Basically just told me to get a new phone. I find it hard to believe that it's impossible to get the settings back to where they need to be. I appreciate your help!

Sorry, bad news... that QR code points to the app i already sent you.. so i guess that's not going to help.
I found this though..

Might be worth trying to set your settings to that to see what happens.
I know when i flashed CM10.2 and CM11 on mine, the data settings worked without me having to change anything.. so that maybe something worth trying.
No luck with anything. I believe my problem was flashing a native Verizon TW ROM, instead of just going the AOSP route. Maybe the kernel or the modem/radio conflicted with it somehow, kicking it completely off of the network. What is the PRL supposed to be? My PRL is set to "1". I'm thinking that could be the reason it can't see the network.
Is there any way to either manually program the phone onto the network, or either reflash the stock kernel or radio?

hmm maybe dial which is the number to program phones *228990 .but it could brick (not responsible if it does.)
For what it's worth, check this out. It's possible CM is now ready for your device, but do not quote me on this.

I've lost service as well. I rooted using the Impactor method. Root was successful, I downloaded and successfully flashed the latest version of CWM Touch Recovery, then I flashed the newest version of BeanStalk ROM. The phone wouldn't get passed the "Select Language" section without bootlooping. So I pulled the battery, booted back into Recovery, wiped and re-installed my Nandroid backup. After I restored, my phone wouldn't receive service or data. Also, under About Device/Status, the network now says Unknown, Mobile network type says Unknown, Service state says Out of service, and my Phone number also says Unknown. How do I re-register my device back onto the Straight Talk network?? If I install CM 10.2 will that fix my issues? Or am I at the mercy of the Straight Talk Customer Service gurus? Is there anyway to manually program my device back onto the network?

There isnt really a way to program the device manually...but might i make a suggestion? try resetting the phone. now that you have the nandroid restore done, try going ahead and doing a factory reset from the settings. Surprisingly it helped my issue.
I've ran into this problem myself. I tried restoring to a backup and installing different ROMs. The only thing that worked was to Odin back to stock ST and start fresh. I have the file if anyone needs it
