I flashed SynergyROM and calls and messages were not going through, so I decided to flash CleanROM to see if that would resolve any problems. Unfortunately, it did not. The IMEI is the same as it is on the sticker on the phone, so my IMEI is working. I've also tried going into and out of airplane mode, still did not work. My ERI version is 5 still.

There seems to be a limited amount of people on this forum who actually know how to
diagnose and troubleshoot major phone functions (call, sms, Mms).
Really about to ditch the s3 myself, and re-setup my old Droidx.
So I can use the phone.... as an actual phone.
Try flashing the zip that deposited on your SD card when you flashed Synergy. There is a folder that's labeled Synergy. There are many threads in the forums with the answers to this problem. Including this forum.

Check your APN settings to make sure they match your carrier.

messed a bit with the apn settings, lost my data connection. wiping everything and flashing again, hoping it fixes it.
problem solved, seems that I didn't pay my bill so I can't call or text anymore.

Was running MIUI, lost my IMEI, recovered it, still will not activate. ODIN Flashed back to factory and my phone still will not activate, IMEI, MEID is showing correct in my phone info. when I call out I get the please hold for an operator to assist you. little triangle is showing. No clue what to do now. Sim card is fine, it works in my other phone.
Recovered EMEI with nvrestore, it locked up, I pulled the battery and tried restarting but it still would not boot, so I Flashed Factory rom with ODIN again and it worked, I now have data and the phone activated. Really strange.
Glad I backed the IMEI up three ways. This was the third time I have lost the IMEI and connectivity. This last time was the worst though, took me a couple hours to get the darn thing working again.
Yea last time that happened to me, I just unrooted and back to stock. Lady at the Verizon store couldn't figure it out even with new sim and they gave me a replacement no Q asked. Lol

But if you got a good device new it is better to fix the IEMI than take a chance on a refurb that was bad when new and returned especially since it is so easy to prevent and fix now.
Make sense

Pretty annoying all the people that can't flash there phones. I'm sure it wasn't a imie issue. Next time save yourself the time and try flashing a touchwiz ROM first and then reprovision the phone by dialing *2767*3855#.

Thanks for the good information. Sorry I annoyed you.
Probably was something I missed. Originally, before I restored the meid my phone number was showing as 000-000-0120 so I am pretty sure the meid was borked, I restored using the meid repair utility but still could not get authorized, I Odin flashed back to stock but it still didn't work, I did the nvrestore then had to Oden flash a stock rom again which solved the problem and everything is working peachy now. I am sure there was an easier way but at the time I was at a loss. I thought I screwed it up.
BTW, this is my third smart phone and I been flashing roms etc almost daily for years now so I am not entirely green.

After flashing between a couple ROMs the other night, I noticed under 'About Phone' that my phone number is different (it says 000-000-5777). After doing some research and coming to find out about this IMEI issue, I checked to make sure that my IMEI was still in tact, which it is (and I went ahead and backed it up). The only thing that is different is my phone number isn't showing up correctly.
I can still receive calls and MMS and I am getting my 4G service. Is this something worth worrying about or should I just forget about it as long as my IMEI is still there?
Thanks ahead of time for any input.

I saw that thread, but was just wanting to know if my phone number not being displayed correctly is anything to worry about if I am still getting service. I didn't know if it was something that needed to be fixed or just an effect of the ROM.
Which ROM are you running? If your still getting service, then it's probably not an emergency. I'm not sure if it will cause a real problem for you or not, but personally I would fix it to be on the safe side. If you odin back to Root66, backup your data, and then enter the re-provision code you should be back to normal. Then you could re-flash whatever ROM you are currently on.
If it's not causing you any problems, then it's up to you whether or not you want to spend the time on a fix.

I am running Liquid Smooth Jelly Bean REV9.
When you say root back to Root66, what exactly is Root66 if you don't mind to clarify? And also, what is the provision code?
Thanks for your help.

Root66 is the original stock, rooted image of the initial firmware that shipped with the Verizon Galaxy S3. It can be downloaded from here and must be flashed through ODIN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
The re-provision code is done by typing *2767*3855# into the dialer. It will factory reset your device, so make sure you back up your data before entering it.
I can't guarantee this will fix your issue, but has fixed other similar problems in the past. The only reason you need to go back to Root66 is because Samsung removed the re-provision code from more recent builds because it is a security issue (the code can be embedded on websites to reset your device without you opting to do so).

Thanks for your help. After flashing back to stock, rooting/unlocking again and flashing back to Liquid Smooth, my phone number is appearing correctly.
I guess I spoke too soon. After a reboot, I noticed that my phone number under About Phone was displayed as "Unknown", and after rebooting a second time, it was displaying the number it did before (000-000-5777). Every time I reboot my phone, I get presented with an endless activation screen that I have to either hit the physical home button or do the 4 corner tap method to get rid of. I'm starting to think that the activation screen is what is causing this issue, considering after I reflashed Liquid Smooth and wasn't presented with the activation screen and my phone number was appearing correctly.
I guess this isn't really anything to worry about since I am getting full functionality out of my phone. But if anyone happens to have any input on this issue, feel free to chime in.
That's strange.. is it possible your SIM card is going bad?
Not the sim. Try rebooting but dont unlock the screen until it has a data connection. Once it does go see if the number is still the same or if its your number

I always let the phone acquire a connection before unlocking, but am still presented with an activation screen and the phone number is still messed up. It hasn't been affecting my data or calls so I guess there is no sense in fooling with something so minor.
Thanks to both of your for your suggestions and input.

Hi all I am having some issue with my phone. Yesterday everything was fantastic no problems whatsoever. Then all of a sudden this morning I cannot place calls or send messages. I checked my phone status in the about phone tab and noticed that my IMEI and MEID are set to all zeroes. As far as I have understood this should not be the case. I have a data connection as I can browse the web not connected to wifi. I can receive calls and messages. I have done nothing to the phone between yesterday and today other than connect it to the charger. I was running hyperdrive rls 13. Any one ever experience something like this before? Any suggestions as to how I can fix it. Thanks in advance.
I hope someone knows how to restore the imei. I've been searching and cannot find the Samsung restore app I keep reading about. I'm having a similar problem. I've got mobile data and I can do everything but make or receive calls. I even get texts. Not sure what happened to cause me to lose my imei and meid.

It's in the sticky roll up thread, but it's invisible to members. You need permission to access it. Not sure if a moderator would allow access, but it wouldn't hurt to explain what happened and see if they'll allow you to see the thread.
Additionally, you might be able to odin to an ics rom and dial a code to reprogram your phone. I don't remember what the code is, but I'm sure if you search it'll come up somewhere. If you can get it back that way, then make sure you back it up to make sure you don't run into the problem again.
Your imei is always susceptible to being lost, and nobody is quite sure why. It seems to be much more common on AOSP roms, but sometimes you can lose it without even flashing or modding anything. Just a strange quirk with our phone.

Ok so I fixed my problem. Turns out I lost my imei but somehow still had data. I did not have a back-up of my imei so I had to "reprogram" it using qpst. I flashed back to stock 4.0.4 as well.
After doing this I had the stuck in roaming problem but my imei was back. To fix this I found that the nvram could be corrupt and that and adb restore might fix it. Once I did the adb nvrestore all was well again. (I think the command was adb reboot nvrestore but can't remember atm)
Hopefully this will help someone else. Good luck

I'm using the International version of the flat S7 on T-Mobile. I've been having this problem for about 2 months now although now it's happening much more frequently. I contacted T-Mobile about my problem, they went over some stuff in the sim card. Such as updating something, checking my area for interruptions, running a diagnostics on my phone. They said everything was fine. Although the problem kept continuing. They sent me a new sim card free of charge in hope of fixing my device. Even then that didn't help, my calls and texts still randomly do not come through. There are times it does and times it doesn't at all. Now I'm wondering if I have a faulty device? Is there any more options I could do to fix this problem?
Tried a factory reset?
Hi, I have tried S7 dialer app (SecContactsProvider.apk & SecContacts_M.apk - deodexed) for my samsung device (J2 2016), It worked fine but suddenly it stopped posting missed call notifications in call log and elsewhere. It becomes very difficult to track who called since there are no traces of caller. Really looking for fix for this.
Thanks.
