Mobile Network not available

Hi i traded my phone, and he installed the wrong thing and broke it. I thought i could fix it which i did. Now though when i load it up it has no mobile network. I can connect to wifi. I called atnt and they said my imei was fine. I registered this phone with them when i first bought it, so i dont see how the imei could bad. I think he tried to change the carrier to something else and messed it up. Is there any way i can get my mobile network back? ITs a atnt i727. What should i be looking for to change the carrier to what its suppose to be. The imei is the right one from the back of the battery.

Isnt that for the data? I reset it to default but it didnt help. I cant make phone calls or anything. Is there a setting to tell the phone to connect to at&t or something like that? Or is there any way he broke the hardware? Under the settings about the phone it shows my phone number.

Thanks for trying guys. I have a update I got like one bar last night and it received like 4text and then got none. My girl friends phone is getting service, so does that mean something in the phone is broken

More details on what he did to break it and what you have done to fix my guess is that you need to flash a better working radio

Well when I got it back it was is a mode I haven't seen, kinda like the download mode but it said Odin kies mode. Im not sure what ics he tried to put in it. But I put back in the flash to stock Odin from the site and it loaded back up. Then I saw it didn't have service so I installed Cw recovery and installed sky coke. Which I have now, also tried some kernals but that didn't help ethier.now I have sky coke no service to atnt for calls or text but wifi works. I don't get service even in emergency mode.

Try finding a gingerbread radio FOR THIS PHONE and flash it my guess is that is your issue I don't have links but they exist somewhere in this noob ridden skyrocket forum

Thanks very much, i tried that and it still doesnt work. Weird enough every once and awhile it works, it should like it must of dropped it in water or something, and bricked it on me so i wouldn't realize what was going on. Or am i wrong? Is the thing that receives and transmits cell calls and text able to brake hardware wise?

What I would do is try a new sim card. All the network info is on there. If you did something wrong with roms or whatever, you could fry the sim. I would also make sure to have complete stock and I mean bone stock att rom( no root) placed on it. This will make everything back to factory and a better way to eliminate the problem. Sounds to me you have multiple and nothing meshing together. Search forums to return to stock which most likely would be gb 2.3.6. Good luck.
Oh and make sure you read closely and carefully. Returning to stock can be dangerous if you don't follow the directions step by step and have patience. You have nothing to lose if the phone is already borked. Its worth a try.

I'm having the same exact problem. And unfortunately, it looks like it has something to do with the CM 10.1 itself. As CM 10 works perfectly fine and gets me a signal, CM 10.1 won't be able to get me services.
I don't think there's a fix on this yet.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you're on a different baseband than UCMC1.

JB 4.1.1 Won't connect to tmobile towers

It updated OTA on it's own and was working last night. This morning I looked at my phone and it was connected. I moved it and it lost signal and hasn't gotten it since. I can't force it to connect, will get roaming but roaming in this area is emergency only.

Just did that. Still nothing.

Ok I've flashed 4.0.4 then CWM to 4.1.1 and nothing. Flashed 4.0.4 and nothing then flashed GB on it and nothing. I'm out of ideas.

Maybe you didn't save properly? Don't press back when done inputting everything, but press menu>save.

If that doesn't work, there's a remote possibility it's a problem with the SIM card. You might want to go to your carrier store and ask for a new one; in my experience this is usually free. Other than that, if flashing a whole new ROM doesn't fix it, I have a hard time understanding how it could be anything other than a hardware issue.

4G Unavailable on My vzw S3

Hey I appreciate any help provided. I went ahead and followed droidstyle's guide to rooting and then flashing a custom rom to my 16GB S3. I believe that I followed the steps correctly but experienced some boot loops after installing CWM and before flashing Bean's Custom Stock Rom. Eventually I was able get the device booted and everything worked great except that my 4G was not working. 3G was working properly. I then applied the most recent OTA modem thinking that this could remedy the problem without success. I ejected SIM, powered on the device without the SIM, powered off, and then repowered with SIM seated. Still no 4G. After, I figured that I'd try going back to bloated 4.0.4 but this did not fix the problem. It's also worth mentioning that while I was flashing back and fourth that I was unable to backup using Nandroid. A message indicating that a backup could not be saved was displayed. I read in another thread that formatting the internal SD should fix the problem but I'm a little worried that I may much something up (again) while doing so.
I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

I have had essentially the same problem. I have added the phone info app, which really hasn't worked too much better, except that I can lock it into LTE only. When I put it on LTE/CDMA/EDVO it has 3G, but will never automatically switch to 4G. I have to put the phone into LTE only, so that it will pick it up. I did notice today that when in LTE only mode, I can't make any phone calls, text, etc and get a message about my service provider being unavailable. Has anyone else had this issue?

Just give it some time eventually will switch to lte if you have lte coverage in your area

I have given it days !! I was thinking Verizon was having LTE issues, but I have been in multiple towns, all with LTE and I don't have any LTE, unless I force it manually; problem is I don't have anything BUT data, because LTE only mode for some reason makes me only have data.
Is it normal to have data only, when in LTE only mode ???
I have been considering going back to unrooted and doing a factory wipe, but with the lack of being positive it will fix the issue, I hate to do that work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Phone Info.
Sent from my Galaxy S III

After a couple days of incredibly fast CM10, my S3 has decided to revert back to it's old ways. I'm not entirely sure what caused the issue the first time around nor do I have a clue what caused it this time. Also, I do not know what allowed me to begin receiving 4G/3G when this happened originally. I have my proper IMEI/MEID. I've tried booting the phone without SIM, shutting down, reinserting SIM with no luck. I've used Phone Info to try switching my network type with no luck. I've cleared cache in recovery (Haven't cleared Davlik). I've applied the pre-release modem from the most recent modem. Nothing seems to be working. Everything was working just about flawlessly for the last couple of days. I suppose that I'm at a loss. I've backed up my efs using adb... The next logical step is to reflash CM10 and see if that provides any difference. If that doesn't work I will go back to Bloated and move back into CM10.
I've been looking for something unique for the better part of 4 hours. Do you guys have any ideas?
I really do appreciate any help!

Jump into your dialer, and press *2767*3855# and you'll reset your SIM card - and - that's what you need...

Hey, I appreciate the response. I've tried entering in that number multiple times but its not yielding anything but 2 rings and the Verizon "lady" telling me that the call cannot be completed as dialed. I've seen this exact reply in about 5 other threads. I'm digging for sure. I'm going to go ahead and try Synergy since users are reporting a more reliable data connection.

No joy, eh? That completely reprovisions your phone, so it *should* be the trick. Interesting - works for me (I've munged my MEID twice, and this always brought it back.

Hey guys,
Just wanted everyone to know that I went ahead and flashed synergy. So far I've had no data issues. I can't wait until CM10 is working properly.

[Q] Phone number is different but IMEI is normal

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.

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.

Has anyone encountered this voice mail bug?

Hey all,
Ugh, didn't mean to post yet!
I just updated from CM9 to 10.2 in the hopes it might fix this bug, but it didn't. I suspect then that it's not ANYTHING to do with a ROM per se but I'm perplexed as to what it is.
The behaviour is:
- I get a voice mail
- After listening to the voice mail, deleting it, and hanging up, the notification doesn't disappear
- Some time later, I get a repeat notification of the voice mail
- During this time, I can't receive any texts
- About a DAY later, the phone will realize that voice mail actually has been deleted
I've tried searching xda, and I've tried general googling, but I haven't pinned anything down. I've seen some references to what might be a similar bug, but not with these ROMs, and... honestly a couple of YEARS ago.

Well, I did do a factory reset.
Is resetting to the stock ROM actually guaranteed to, well, basically format /system?

Unfortunately, I have the 959W rather than the 959V so I can't use it.
And I remember upgrading from gingerbread to CM9 was a lot tougher than I expected (I think getting the drivers to work right) and I had to get a LOT of help from a member here on the forum. IIRC there were a lot more reboots required of the phone / my PC to get things to work.
All in all I probably shouldn't mess around with ROMs. Hardware problems make me angry and frustrated.

O..didn't know you had the T959w..
Well I have seen something similar
On the Samsung GS4G Blaze..
They had a call fowarding bug that was carrying over on Roms..
It was something in CM11 that they
Figured was being written on the
Sim Card..and it was even carrying over to any Rom you flashed..
Once you got it... it didn't matter
what Rom you installed
full wipe or not it stuck..
They have Offical CM11 and the
CM team fixed it..but I remember it took a couple weeks..
Have you tried getting another
Sim Card..couldn't hurt..
Have you tried Force closing the
Phone Apk.and clearing data..
Also found this..
Here's what just worked for me on my Tmobile Galaxy S III
1) Pull the battery
2) Wait a few minutes with the battery out (I waited 5 minutes)
3) Pull the SIM card
4) Replace battery and power up phone. Wait until phone is fully booted
5) Power down phone
6) Replace SIM card and power up

Oh huh, I missed your reply till now.
I think force closing the phone app and clearing caches works but ONLY temporarily and then the problem reoccurs (when the phone decides to check for more voice messages?)
Man if this was something being written on the sim card and not a ROM thing that'd be really annoying. But couldn't I "just" wipe the whole sim card? That's gotta be possible, right?
I'm trying the pull-battery-and-sim-card just to see what happens.
On the plus side I found some old posts of mine on the forum and realized that I only ever used this new computer for flashing stuff. So I just have to figure out which USB port worked last time... the usb drivers should still be installed and everything.

^ Just curious what modem are you using? Is it patched to work on MTD partitions layout? Is it the stock one from Wind the Canadian carrier?
Try using modem LB6 for 959w/v patched to work for mtd roms, hope this will fix the issue.

I believe I am using the LB6 - certainly, I'm not using the stock. (The only confusion is that I've got zip files on my PC for the LB6 and a KG4 modem.)
Whatever modem I have on my phone was working fine prior to some upgrade of CM9 (IIRC).

God!!!
So I got Heimdall working again, flashed to stock, reformatted my SD card, re-updated to CM10... and I'm getting the same problem again!
So either it's the CM 10 ROM or something with my phone company! GRRRR...
Maybe the next step is to go back to stock and then just try CM 9. Or even CM 7 or something... put a modem on the stock ROM and see if THAT still ****s up.

Aaaaand stock + LB6 modem gets the voice mail notifications.
!%()*!%()*!#% phone company!
