Well, strange issue here that I'm going crazy over. Recently I've rooted and such but run stock Rom on my one s. I downloaded a google play patcher and freedom apks to check them out and suddenly lost connection whenever I would open google play store so I knew right away it was a result of those apks. I uninstalled them and tried again with no luck. I then reinstalled google play store apk and cleared all the data/cache with still no results. At this point I decided to back up my important apps via titanium backup and did a complete factory reset. Setting my phone back up it asked me for my google account to synch contacts and such. Full signal 4g and full signal WiFi both fail to connect to google. Aside from trying to flash a new Rom and try I'm at a loss. I don't want to use a custom Rom I only want root access on my phone. Does anyone know how I can fix this ? I know the google patcher and freedom jacked my phone up and I do intend to avoid them for good now. Thanks.

Reset wont work if the patcher patched an apk. If you got TWRP or CWM you could try flashing gapps to see if that works.
Thanks for the quick reply ill try to figure it out. Would gapps be on already or do I have to go find it somewhere?

Get gapps here and make sure you get the right one.
Thanks again but how do you determine which one? I run stock Rom. Those appear to be for cyanogenmo. Would I need to flash that beforehand? I'm not experienced really in doing any of this and I know its not your problem so I really am quite thankful for the assistance. The only thing I've done is unlock bootloader, flashed TWRP and installed superuser. Flashing other rims I wanted to avoid as I'm content with the stock and didn't want to move away from the familiar. If its the only way to recover my google access then ill have to though I guess.

If its 4.0.4 then use the one for CM9 and if its 4.1.1 then you want the CM10. If that don't work and don't want custom rom the you need a RUU to get it fully stock.
Well phone told me 4.0.4 so ill give it a try. Thanks again, ill report back if it worked.
Well, I downloaded, booted recovery, flashed it, rebooted and now all the google apps just force close so I can't even get the connection error. I'll try flashing a Rom later or the ruu. If anyone has any ideas much appreciated.
Did you clean cache and dalvik-cache after you flashed it? You also need to clear the data for the google apps (done in settings -> apps in the phone) alt. factory reset it.

Yup already done. Both actually, I cleared the data/cache in the settings and I did a factory reset twice. No luck. I'm going to attempt flashing a custom ROM if I can find one that is actually decent but most appear to have issues with WiFi or something that'd drive me nuts. flash the partition patch is recommended like with the viper but after readying 20 pages I have no idea still wth they're talking about.
As far as I can work out, it seems the wifi issues is mainly with t-mo devices. Ive never had any wifi issues on mine with hboot 1.14.
I have a TmoUS HTC ONE S S4. Not entirely sure what hboot is. Like I said i'm still kinda new but I did read enough to see that there's WiFi issues so I don't want to push it. Ive been reading through all the ICS ROMS and half seem to be outdated and broken.
If you want an ICS rom, go with ViperS 1.2.1. Great rom
hboot is listed in the bootloader.
Viper is the rom that's apparently having wifi issues from what I read where it says to flash the partition or whatever and I couldn't find out what they were talking about. I'm checking out some JB rom now called jellybam, if I can manage to install it hopefully it works out. As for the hboot thing still no idea lol I'm honestly not going to try to figure it out. I simply want my phone with root access and working google again I don't want a custom rom at all but I apparently have no choice

Try Viper 1.2.1 and if you have issue then there is a TrickDroid thats T-Mobile base so it should be fine there.
I've successfully flashed Viper 2.0 and have access to google again now finally. Only issue is that sine I had the 4.04 update my wifi no longer works so I have to figure out how to fix that. There's flashing of something but I have no idea what he was talking about as he simply said that and provided no links or explanations.

You can't fix it without upgrading to JB which you can't yet or downgrade the Hboot, so you better off trying Viper 1.2.1 and see how that goes for wifi.
xD exactly the reason I didn't want a non-stock ROM lol Honestly after the headache I'm just going to keep what I have. I thought the H signal was pretty much the G network but it turns out that it's fast like my normal 4G which it keeps bouncing between 3G and H. Makes no sense to me but as long as i'm not down in the basement I should have 4G signal. All this flashing and having to reinstall everything and update blah blah just isn't worth the trouble and effort. I have half the mind to revert back to stock rom and just reroot and leave it there hopefully working.

I think this is the best time to do it since you not settled with it yet and I like I said there is T-Mobile TrickDroid so you wont even lose wifi calling and also pretty much stock.
For some reason that didn't work either. I relocked bootloader, reflashed stock Rom and rerooted. Everything works again, thanks again for the help though guys. This thread can be closed now.

so I installed eaglesblood version 1.08 i think. It is the latest one whaterver version it is and it was a great rom I really liked it but how do you get it to sync with google? Do I have to install gaps or something?If anyone knows I would really like some help because it is way better than stock. I had to restore my last rom because I needed to use the phone for contacts and also I live on long island and we just got hit with a hurricane and I was without sevice when I did the flash and I had no way to get to the market to install anything.
Charlie
Yes you have too flash gapps. Il here is the link download it place on sd card boot into cwm and install the zip http://www.multiupload.com/WK7CNN5YLR dont forget too hit the thanks.button
Gapps gives you the.market google maps and gmail. Too sync with google u need too have the gapps installed. And click menu settings accounts and syn and click add account then select google and sign in your google account. Then your contacts will be restored and you can download from the market
Cool thanks alot. That is what I thought. I will hit the thanks as soon as I can get to a PC. App doesn't seem to ha e a way to thank you.

That is why i do not use the app i go too xda website.on dolphin browser. Thats how.i read the forumsband download my roms
I also use dolphine HD browser it is the best mobile browser I have ever seen. I dont know why I didnt think of hat in the first place. Oh well I took care of it again I really apriciate your help. So I take it you use Eaglesblood yourself? If I have any question can I ask you? I do want to try all of the ROMS on this fourm.
OK this is weird I reinstalled it and everything is fine but I seem to haved lost my internal SD card. in file manager I cant find it and even when I hooke it up to my PC it is not there. Any Ideas anyone? I did two things differently when I flashed this time. I Always wipe the Dalvik first which I did but then I wiped thecache then did the factory reset usually I just go in order in the list and do Data reset then the one after wipe cache could that have anything to do with it? Also after I flashed the EB ROM I flashed the LG camera and gaps before I reset the phone instead of doing all three in a seperat process maybe that did it? If anyone can help I would really apriciate it.
Charlie
update: I restored my last backup from right before I flashed EB and everything went back to normal. So what I am doing now Is moving Titainum folder to my external SD so if it happens again I can still install my programs. Good thing I always make two backups of everything one on my HD and one on my ext HD for my computer. I am going to try again with EB because it is a kick ass ROM. Just a pain in the ass to get working right. This Is my first ROM that is not stock or based off stock like XB. I will keep this tyhread updated.
Update: Installed ver 8 again and still not working right I am not getting sservice now only wifi. So I tried ver 7 and that got service right away and it was all good for about 15 minutes and then I lost the green but still had service but no data no epc.tmobile when I search for networks I get 2 tmobile and att neither tmobile works for data. So whats happening anyone?
Evening everyone-
Having some issues I am hoping someone can help me with.
I have a rooted ATT HOX on 1.85 that is having some major problems. I started this morning by trying to flash the Magnolia ROM after being on one of the Cleanroms.
I guess the download was corrupt and I received an error while flashing in CWM and was then stuck in a boot loop. I did the whole RUU deal going back and was able to get back on 1.85, root with super user, etc. but once I got back into the phone to setup I noticed that none of my contacts were syncing after signing in. After playing around a few more minutes I noticed the Messaging would crash after being open for a few seconds with no Force Close warning. Occasionally I could go into a text but after trying to respond or type anything it would revert back to the previous page.
Contacts is a complete no go. As soon as the app is opened it crashes. Same with phone. Absolutely can't use any of the three core apps.
I then tried flashing a variety of the roms and even using the different recoveries and have had absolutley no luck getting the Phone, Messaging or Contacts to work on anything. Even stock RUU 1.85! The only thing I have had luck with is the AOKP port which is working ok minus the phone audio being botched.
Any hope here? Any idea what the deal is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
Do a full wipe and install the ROM.. this should take care of it
I am also having this problem. I tried doing factory restore from TWRP 2.1.8 multiple times. Re-locked the phone and reinstall RUU 1.85 and still have issues.
Can you explain further what you mean by full wipe?

I think I figure out how to fix our problem. I was on re-lock status and stock RUU 1.85. I proceed to unlock the bootloader, flash cwm, go into advance, and select fix permissions. I also wipe everything while I am here. After reboot, I am able to set up e-mails and sync contacts and make calls again.
Hopefully, the same will work for you too.

In recovery, wipe data, cache and Dalvik.
Thanks for the responses. To be honest I did factory resets and wipes about 15 times in total...between all the various available roms, the factory 1.85 and a combination of anything I could imagine. Nothing-and I mean nothing-would work. Finally I put it as close to stock as possible and brought it back for a swap. I couldn't find anything at all to help rectify the situation or any info on what in the world may have caused it.
To those of you stuck-good luck! Sounds like it was only a handful that experienced it...hope you get it sorted. Would love to find out why it happened though!
Best of luck!!!
did anyone ever figure out the problem and how to fix this? ive been screwing around for an hour just clearing the data from anything related to contacts or google sync, and even people and still can't get my contacts to sync.. everything else syncs fine my calendar, drive, etc. just not contacts!! grr... any help would be much appreciated. if i figure it out and know how i did it i'll post so others don't waste as much time as i have.
edit: it all started when i tried to flash clean rom using CWM (it said not to but i missed that part lol).. so i ended up having to relock my bootloader, unlocked it again, flashed 1.85 RUU and then finally i was able to boot my phone past the HTC screen.. after that i booted into TWRP and flashed cleanrom. that is when i noticed contacts won't sync, phone book, sms etc. just close when i open them..
tried everything suggested in this thread and still no luck
current status: I decided to flash CWM again, and restored a nandroid backup i had from a while back.. which is a stock rogers rom. contacts r syncing fine.. question is. when i flash to cleanrom 4.0 again will it break the contacts sync again? i sure hope not.. we'll find out tomorrow lol sleep time!
ok so installed cleanrom 4.1 again today and all is working well..
i guess the solution is:
* somehow obtain a stock rogers or att rom (1.85 ruu should work for most)
* once thats installed use fastboot to flash CWM or TWRP
* boot into recovery
* clear cache, dalvik cache, factory reset / clear data
* install custom rom (in my case cleanrom 4.1)
* Reboot phone and check if ur contacts r syncing properly
such a messed up problem hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into it..
My maps gps lock got totally f*cked by synergy 1.7 so it was suggested to go back to stock and reroot since flashing new rom from clean wipe did not work.
A lot of links and methods are out of date, so I was wondering what the best way to get back to stock at this point.
I have the latest odin on my computer, I guess I'm looking for the most recent or most reliable stock image to flash.
Thanks

Do you think flashing a stock rooted image would do the same for me? Or should I flash unrooted image then start fresh? Time is not a concern, im patient

Flash back to stock then root. Click link in sig.
i tried this......still having the same issue, switched from CM10 back to stock and had issues with my GPS being way off, like by 3300 meters off haha.....so flashed back to stock, still had the issue, so i used the rooted stock image and flashed that and i'm still off by about over 2k meters.....don't use my navigation or maps all that much but when i do need it i'll have a bit of an issue lol
I had issues with my gps for a few days. If was real flaky but got better with synergy 1.5. I have since move to 1.6 with a fresh install and am still okay. Check out a app called gps status. See if you can see any gps satellites. Maybe in that app clear your agps state in tools. Then if that doesn't work try to download gps assistance with the same app in the same settings. Make sure your out side for this stuff with your gps. It's probably not gonna hit ya sitting on the couch.

New AOKP JB issue with radio
Well I am trying to get something fixed and I am going through a complete restore to do this.
But just so you are aware the new AOKP JB release will kill your data. I learned a hard lesson with this when trying to recover and nandroid back to my previous rom. It killed my data completely and would not allow me to do anything with data in any rom. I used the root66 stock rom in hopes it would work, and that didnt even solve the issue.
Right now I am restoring a factory image through kies and seeing if that will do what I need. If it does, I am sticking with stock roms for awhile until AOSP roms have more time to develope with less bugs.

Well it turns out I still had my imei present on my phone and even after a factory reset like I did wit kies it still didnt work.

Once I did that my phone rebooted and everything came back as it was never gone, well except for all of my data on the internal sd card, but that is to be expected.
After 2 hours of going through numerous steps I finally found a fix, mind you not the most simple of fixes, but a fix none the less.
I think I am just going to stay stock for awhile like I mentioned and wait for the OTA that comes out in 2014 lol, unless in review of AOSP roms the issues present now are gone after sometime.

Gps works like a champ on beans!
Gps seems to work substantially better on cm10 than on stock....ran the GPS test and i locked onto 14/19 satellites.
Beamed via NFC through the local store to the internet from my SGS3.
So I'm totally at a loss of where to go or what to even search for.
I have a verizon Galaxy s3 that I rooted and unlocked the bootloader on. I flashed a couple ROMs and now it won't connect to the network. It tells me it is in roaming mode only. I called verizon, but they said to just return the phone because it won't talk to their network.
I've read some things about "triangle away" and I kind of tried that. But it kept telling me that my flash count was 0 anyway. So it didn't do anything.
My IMEI and ICCID are correct to my sim card and phone. I originally flashed CM10 for the verizon s3 and it worked great for a few weeks. Then I tried a couple others and they worked also. Then I flashed the euroskank ROM, and that's when it no longer would connect. I went back to a previous nandroid, and still no connecting.
I don't know what the problem is, or what to search for, or where to go.
Should I try to install a stock rom. I know I keep seeing things about odin and installing the stock rom. Should I do that? That's something I haven't tried yet.
So, I tried reprovisioning the phone with *2767*3855#
And when I did that, it said sorry, your phone is not yet activated.
But I know it is, or, at least was activated. And when I call verizon they tell me it has been activated already. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock
Same Problem
Flashed CM10.1 nightly just to test it out and then boom, no more connection. On any ROM. Scariest part? I have gone through the restore process and am now back to an unrooted phone with out of the box firmware. I believe I will take it back to Verizon now and see if they will give me a new one.

So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

I had the an issue with my phone stuck roaming and this method worked great! Only problem I came across was trying to run Samsungs update for Jelly Bean, Every time I attempted to update my phone would crash and go back to ICS. Luckily I had a back up so I wiped my phone, restored from my previous backup (which had Jelly Bean) and worked without roaming issues!
My input is if your having roaming issues is to use a backup you made before you had the roaming issue. Follow this tutorial above to get your phone back to stock, root your phone, then restore from your backup through CWM or whatever you are using.
I am not too sure what causes the roaming issue but I did notice while looking for networks, my phone found ATT ad TMobile haha.I am assuming what happened was that the Cyanogenmod update I was downloading automatically was set for another carry which changed my wireless settings. I will be downloading nightly's manually for now on lol
Thanks for this fix, Saved me a lot of time and aggression

Only problem I came across was trying to run Samsungs update for Jelly Bean, Every time I attempted to update my phone would crash and go back to ICS. Luckily I had a back up so I wiped my phone, restored from my previous backup (which had Jelly Bean) and worked without roaming issues!
My input is if your having roaming issues is to use a backup you made before you had the roaming issue. Follow this tutorial above to get your phone back to stock, root your phone, then restore from your backup through CWM or whatever you are using.
I am not too sure what causes the roaming issue but I did notice while looking for networks, my phone found ATT ad TMobile haha.I am assuming what happened was that the CM update I was downloading automatically was set for another carry which changed my wireless settings. I will be downloading nightly's manually for now on lol
Thanks for this fix, Saved me a lot of time and aggression

My S3 is having the same issue after a CM10 modification. Reflashing to a stock ROM fails, wiping and reflashing fails, trying a different rom on cwm fails, no backups to flash to (all result in error). So I stumbled upon this thread, read about reprovisioning, and I took it to mean input the numeric code into the phone dialer. I did that, and nothing happened. Can anyone provide insight on reprovision and how to do it? Google search on reprovision isn't giving me any hints.
If the reprovision is just failing and I've been doing it right, does anyone have any other suggestions? Really hoping my phone isn't soft-bricked with no ability to call/text.

So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

I know this is a few weeks old, but I have to say thank you for this. It worked perfectly for me, and rather than wait 48 hours for Verizon tech support to call me back, I was able to solve my own problem. Thank you, again.

Hey guys, when you provision does it wipe the entire phone, including the SD card? (internal SD card and external SD card)
stuck...
I tried all the above, stock, radios, kernels, codes, ##RTN#, none of it works, my radio works cause i tried 911 and it jumped on roaming and began to make call at which point of course i hung up before letting it connect any words of wisdom... at this point just a tablet for wifi

I have a galaxy note 2 on Verizon. This used to happen to me on CM 10.1 first stages but issue got fixed as the nightlies started. It only happened to me when I sometimes rebooted the phone or when the battery completely drained from 100-0% then when I would charge it and boot the phone it would show me an x and no signal bars. I would have to restore to a TW rom to get it to activate again but going into settings and switching to CDMA/LTE mode. Now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 2.99beta ROM and it still gives me that issue. Hopefully soon it will be fixed.:fingers-crossed:

Spoke too soon. I wanted to try Miui and backed up and then installe miui but it was flaky so I tried wiping and then restoring but Now I have the No radio problem back.
Even after I restore to a clean install I still get this issue.

Thank you buddy,
This helped me get my phone back in working order -- For those of you wondering why the "*2767*3855# is not working is because you are using the wrong flash. You must use "Official VRALG1 4.0.4" - and currently the link is down on the thread - I just googled it and found it elsewhere. I tried one of the other OTA's and it would not work. Also, do exactly as netskull described - even regarding the antenna. When using VRALG1 4.04 - The second i entered the last "hashtag (#)" it popped up another screen which helped get my phone working. I did not have to press send or anything. Kind of sucks that I lost all data on my internal card, but I DID back it up and now I will have to go through and restore. Since some people were wondering -- It did not mess with anything on the external card... It did unroot my device, however, so I will have to do that again as well.
For some reason, flashing the latest MIUI messed up my phone and put it in roaming all the time. Oh well, happy i got it working, and subscribed . Thanks once again Nertskull.
Oneplus One on 5.1.1 (12.1) on jgcaap's 11/30/2015 build. I used to be really into flashing and modding phones but have since moved and changed jobs. I just haven't been able to enjoy this hobby lately, or several others. Over the last month or so any time I reboot the phone it is missing several apps when it comes back on. This happens whether I manually reboot, or if an error causes it reboot on its own. This morning it rebooted on its own and lost Google Play Services... Now I can't use the market, and many of the apps I have cannot work either.
I want to install a new ROM. I am concerned with the process because I will be coming from such an old build. I am going to start researching ROM's but I need to get it done soon. I hate to be the guy who shows up not having done his research. Since this is the "help" forum I was hoping someone would be willing to give me a little guidance. I just need a reliable ROM, doesn't have to be the fastest or too fancy. I will post up here when I decide which one to try but I am completely open to suggestions.
In the short term I plan to re-install gapps. I found the old tkGapps thread and downloaded the mini modular package. So hopefully doing that will buy me some time.
Thank you for reading, and any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Looks organized! I'll give it a try. I will read about it tonight while it is downloading. I live remote now so sloooow internet. It will give me some time to read.
So, it won't cause any issue going straight from 5.1.1 to this 7.x.x ROM? Years ago on Samsungs it had to be done in steps sometimes.
Thank you so much for the reply.
Installed with no drama! I was so concerned there would be some kind of Samsung-esque step maneuver/install this kernal then flash this rom, then after that install the ROM stuff... So easy!! Thanks!
Questions:
1. do I need Busybox? I run a few root apps. I don't know if we still use this.
2. is Titanium Backup fully functional in this build? I used to back up some of my more important apps then restore them with data. Of course no system apps.
3. Can't remember #3 so #3 is Thank goodness this fixed my phone! Thank you Sir!

Problem still exists with new ROM.
I was out of town yesterday and thought my phone was working correctly. Some of my google contacts were missing but that was easy enough to address. Today I rebooted my phone to install super su using twrp. I haven't had to root this phone in literally 2 years. I read here to install super su in recovery. Here's the problem. When the phone was booted up it is now missing about 40% of the apps I had previously installed. I installed all of them from the play store manually. Now I am starting to think my phone has a hardware problem, which makes me sad. I really love this phone.
I did a quick search trying to find someone with a similar problem but was unsuccessful. I haven't been able to search more thoughouly yet. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Could you tell me which SuperSU you flashed?
Today this is the one I installed. https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip I believe it is version 2.82.
When I installed the ROM it asked me at the end if I wanted to install super su, because twrp didn't detect root. I slid the bar to allow it, but I never got root access. That is why I tried the one I manually downloaded today.
In case it makes a difference I am using an older version of twrp. It was the good one to use back then. I don't know what version it is, and I am afraid to reboot my phone to find out.
Any ideas on this?
I have been unable to get root. So I haven't been able to use any root tools to work on it. Can't backup or restore apps. I wanted to try a trim app to trim the nand.
If I don't come up with a better idea before tonight I plan to reinstall DotOS again with Gapps. Then just try to not ever reboot the phone. I can't afford a new device right now. I may just have to flash it fresh every week or two. I guess that will keep my phone light.
I have installed 2 different ROM's now and this problem persists. If my phone reboots it will delete about half my apps. If it was a Samsung I would "Odin back to stock" and hope for the best. I don't think that is possible on this device.
If I find a solution I will post here about it. Otherwise this problem is a death sentence for this phone. I am only posting this now so if this happens to someone else's device they can see how it went with mine.

I appreciate your help MR. AK. I had seen that thread but didn't realize what it would do. I flashed my phone back to stock using the files and directions in that thread. after i was done I let it run like that for a short time then installed a custom ROM and Gapps. That was Sunday and now on Tuesday I have installed most of my apps and rebooted the phone 3 times. It hasn't lost any apps! *knocks on wood* So far so good! Now I just have to read up on that screen cable issue. The bottom still smears out sometimes.
Thanks again for the help Mr. AK. I used to be into flashing all the time but have hit hard times. I have't been able to keep up with everything like I used to. I have been modifying phones since before the Moto RAZR came out. Used to be a member at motomodders.net which is now defunct. I hope to get back into it soon. XDAdevs is a great community. Happy new year everyone!
