STUCK IN ROAMING... need help!! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi all,
Last night I flashed to hells rom from miui rom, once the flashing is completed i am stuck in roaming
1. IMEI is not corrupted.
2. tried *228 .. but its not working (pop at bottom saying sim is activated, change the roaming settings)
3. flashed back to stock using odin.. still dint work .. still at roaming.
open to suggestions, please adivse.

Data is working but no calls/sms, correct? This happened to me I had to ODIN to an ICS ROM and enter the reprovision code into the dialer. I forget what it is but a google search will surely help you find it.
WARNING: doing the reprovision will wipe your internal memory (external SD will be safe). If you have anything on there you don't want to lose back it up!

(using my LiquidSmooth rom as base; you'll have to find your settings)
go into settings >more >mobile nework settings >newtwork mode and insure you are on LTE/CDMA/EVO
> CDMA Subscription (settings?) and make sure you are in RUIM/SIM
reboot, clear cache, dalvik, and for good measures, throw in a fix permissions, and you should be in business.
like i said, not sure where your settings are in HELSROM, but should be similar.

HellsROM is based on the 4.1 OTA, so those options will not be available in settings. The OP could try flashing a 4.2 AOSP ROM to go through the steps you listed, but will probably have to reprovision from an ICS ROM like many others have had to do in his situation. Me included

Make sure that you do not dial *228, it will fry your sim card.

Make sure you use ez unlock 1.2. The one from the market is version 1.4 and does not work.
You can download 1.2 from here:

[Q] installed rom and now I have NO service.

Hey guys,
No matter what I do I can't get my service to work again. All it shows at the top is a little circle with a slash through the middle. I tried installing a custom rom but ran into some problems. So I "restored" my backup through rom manager. But i don't have service anymore. Since this happend I have tried several new roms and I still can't get the service to come back.
Some people say it has something to do with the IMEI but according to my setup I still have one.
I have been working on this problem for nearly 13 hrs none stop! Please help... I have searched everywhere.
Thanks

If your IMEI and all that information is correct then you may have a bad sim card resulting in no service at all. Otherwise i'd recommend using odin to go back to completely 100% stock and see if that fixes it.

Thank you so much for responding. I have tried to restore stock with odin but every time odin finishes my phone still boots up my existing rom. Any quick ideas with that one?
And do you really think my sim could have just gone bad like that? It's free to get a new one so maybe I will try that as a last resort.
I don't know much about rooting but could it be my radio?
A couple of questions?
Is boot loader unlocked, if so how did you unlock, updated ver 1.4 ez-unlock can mess up and relock boot loader. Use ver 1.2 . "Verizon only"
What ROM and kernel? Make sure its for your carrier.
Any radio should be OK as long as its for you phone and carrier.

did you try reprovisioning your device with dialer code *2767*3855?
note that this does wipe internal sd so back ur **** up!
I tired the above number in dialer but always comes up with error saying "mobile network not available".
Am I doing something wrong?
Oh.... You forgot to ad a # on the end of that number. After this everything started working again!!! Thank you so much!

What fixes the problem. This happened to me after flashing the latest MIUI ROM on my Verizon S3.
I tried re provisioning my phone with the number sequence below but it did not work. I also used the phone info app but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Phone Stuck in Roaming

Hi I posted this on another forum but got no solution. Thought I would re-post here to see if anyone here can help.
I've been trying to figure this one out all day. I updated to Cyanogenmod 10.1 from 10 and since the upgrade I've lost my net work. My service bars are there with the roaming notification. I can't make calls or connect to data. I've done the following to try to fix:
Restored from backup
flashed different radios
Odin restore to stock (Jellybean)
Odin restore to original stock
Rerooted
Unlocked bootloader
Flashed cyanogenmod
I've also repaired my ERI using the Samsung repair tool.
After all this I have gotten no where so I must ask for advise. Along with flashing I've done complete factory resets as well. Any thoughts? Thanks
Did you even try looking at ops whole page for help?

If your back to stock then type this in to ur dialer *2767*3855# the same thing happened to me and that fixed it

Thanks for the reply, I was back onto jelly bean so the dialer code didn't work. I'm flashing back to ICS and I'll give it a try.

alright, this is getting very frustrating. I'm having the same stupid problem being stuck in roaming/no data. The only solution I find to fix this problem is to go to stock and then dial *2767*3855#....I flashed to stock, I try the number, but am then told by the operator that if I wan't to place a call, I need a credit card blah blah blah blah. Seriously, let's get a solution to this.

this is not the only solution. after u flash CM10.1 If you remove ur sim card and boot up and connect via wifi, u can then register and set up the phone. then shut down put sim card back in and boot up. go to system settings -> More... under wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> CDMA subscription and choose RUIM/SIM (NOT NV)
This should now let the ur phone have access to the network and get rid of the roaming issue.
Thanks

I searched everywhere to find a the stock 4.04 rom (that wasn't a zip) I could odin in and fix and I had already gone back to the stock 4.1.1 - I didn't know about 4.0 at the time. When I saw your post, I flashed on slimbean 4.3 and before booting I removed the sim, checked the RUIM box, rebooted and profited. Thanks for the post.- even if it was about a year old...

How to get out of ROAMING? (after flashing 10.1 official)

So...I went ahead and flashed the Dec 24th official 10.1 release with data working. I flashed with TWRP and it went smoothly. I couldn't activate the phone because it was stuck in roaming. I tried what ever I could do but could not get out of it. So I resorted back to full stock from verizon locking and un-rooting. Did that and I also flashed a stock radio. Still cannot get out of roaming mode.
Any suggestions? Kind of in desperate need of data to get a working phone!
Thanks in advance. I'm sure this problem has come up among many of you.

I thought flashing "[OFFICIAL]CM10.1 Official Nightlies for D2VZW GSIII (12/24 Official Data Works)" was the latest one. How would I go about "fixing" the mobile settings? via the settings menu? I cannot access that menu if I need to go there. I need to get past the activation screen. Also I am not so sure on performing the four corners trick in order to get past that screen.
thanks

I didnt see a responce from here but ill do my best, flash back to the stock ROM using ODIN and you should be put back into the operating system still in roaming mode then you dial *2767*3855# as soon as you hit the # your phone will download a file and re-provision itself which will fix the roaming error.

No Service On Atrix 2 When Installing Custom Roms

Sorry if Im not posting correctly, I've used this site a lot for research and whatnot, but couldn't find anything on this topic. So whenever I install a custom rom that is not ICS, I have no data, and barely any service. I installed NUMA and that has been working great, but whenever I try any Jellybean Roms (Carbon, Avatar, Pac-ROM) I have the issue with data and service. I have no idea if I'm installing them wrong or anything, what I usually have done to install roms (and it works with ICS), is to open the Boot Menu Manager while the phone is booting, going into recovery, then preform a factory reset, after that I install the Rom from ZIP. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, it'll be greatly appreciated.
Check the apn settings
Settings > wireless and networks (click more) mobile networks > access point names
If this correct, try to disable sim card pin lock on stock ics system

Problem after installed the third party ROM(cannot use the mobilenetworkGSM, 2G,3G,4G

Dear all,
it is the first time for me to post something in this forum, I hope you guys forgive my poor english
Anyway, I was rooted and installed the other roms but I found that I cannot use the mobile network anymore (even I checked the APN)
I hope the experts in this forum can give me some ideas to fix this problem
thx very much
Hello,
Did you perform a full wipe (Data/cache/dalvic) before you flashed a custom rom? Which rom did you flash?
Head over to the recovery and wipe the above things I have mentioned and again flash the rom and then the gapps..

Could you please share the link of the rom? From where did you download it??
If you have performed wipes correctly and flashed the rom successfully, I don't see any reason for it not to access connection(2g,3g)... You're using the kernel which came with the rom, right?
Gapps means Google Apps... You need to flash it after the rom flash usually...
I'm having the same problem! I just flashed faux kernel with ParanoidAndroid and I can't get any data connection
Bump, any ideas?

I believe they are correct. I tried the APN settings which looked correct that were already there, and I even tried deleting out all the APNs and recreating T-mo LTE one that I use.
I tried reflashing back to stock and I still cannot connect.
I popped my SIM into my Nexus 4 and it works perfectly, but not when it's in my Nexus 5.
Well I figured out my issue, it's super embarrassing.
I had replaced my battery because it wasn't holding a charge well anymore. Apparently the antenna on the volume button side of the phone wasn't pushed down all the way (i think it got unhooked when prying open the cover).
The reason I thought it was software was because I flashed all this stuff right after I put the cover back on. Lesson learned: change one thing at a time, will make troubleshooting easier if things go south,

After rom flash, flash the carbon gapps: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114013
Double check whether the network/apn settings are entered correctly...
You've followed all the steps correctly m8.. not sure what's causing this problem...
Did you try inserting a different sim? May be it's a sim card problem??
