I had previously rooted, unlocked and put a custom bootloader on my S3. I was enjoying Beans 10, but wanted to try Slimbeans. I got the initial .zip of Slimbeans installed, but the AIO .zip kept failing, so I had a useless device. Interestingly, I could not boot to recovery. My computer wasn't recognizing my stock Verizon ROMs. I was able to eventually download root66 and Odin that onto my phone, but when it starts up, it gets stuck at the Verizon 4G/LTE screen and never gets passed it. I have pulled the battery and turned the phone on several times, but get the same result. I thought I'd try another Odin attempt, but when I hold down the vol. down/power/home keys and then select the vol. up, I very briefly see the android guy and then then phone reboots. Please help, I'm stuck!
Well, I downloaded a different stock ROM and got that installed. In the meantime, I had to use my iPhone 4 as a backup. When I contacted Verizon to switch me back to the S3, it shows me as roaming. The tech was no help. Anyone with an idea?
Check network settings. Make sure you are on SIM and not NV

Thanks for the reply. GrainOSand, I had missed this.
I got the stock ROM flashed and thought I was good. The tech's were no help, but told me I needed a new SIM card. I went to my local Verizon store, got the card, the guy there tried to get my S3 going again, but couldn't.
Now, it acts like it is in a loop. It starts the Startup Wizard and very soon I just get the circle spinning and it tries to call the network. I Odin'd the ROM again with the same effect. I have a new phone that is supposed to be here tomorrow, but my Flash counter is at 1. Anyone know how I can get this thing working enough to use Triangle Away?
So, am I asking retarded questions, or is there really no answer?
At the wizard, try tapping all four corners clockwise, starting at the upper left to bypass the activation screen.

You need to root the phone then install and run triangle away to get rid of the flash count http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 then odin back to stock
Also Im pretty sure you can simply odin to either the F2 or G1 ICS builds then type this in the dialer to fix the roaming issue as long as your imei is still intact.... *2767*3855#
No need to have the phone replaced, easily fixable

I installed beanstown rom in clockwork recovery and everything was working fine. I then decided to try the latest synergy rom and everything worked great as well untill I realized that I could no longer respond to text messages. I did flash the text message bug fixer in clockwork ahead of time. I also noticed that I couldn't make any phone calls. I then restored my previous backup with beanstown rom and problem carried over.
Any ideas?

Odin back to stock unrooted, and see if that fixes your issue
Im downloading it now. I am away from home and using a slow hotel internet. This phone has some very large files compared to my old Droid X. I got about 40 mins to go on my download and in the meantime keep trying everything possible and trying to find someone else that had a similar issue.

Okay so used odin with back to stock unrooted file and after it came up I could make a call but data was stuck at 1x with no 3g. I wiped data/factory reset and now I am not getting data, phone or text to work.
I have since tried to reseat the sim card and rebooted numerous times.
Anything else that might work? I can't find anyone else that had a similar problem online and am now thinking I gotta take my phone to the verizon store tomorrow and possibly get a new sim card.
***ONLY VERIZON GS3***
A lot of people have been having problems with flashing CM10.1 and the SlimBean 4.2.1 beta. This guide will tell you how to fix the data. At first it looks like you lost your IMEI, but you probably didn't. It is a simple fix.
What you will need:
Odin: http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip
Stock Rom: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjaifmod7d78lt0/stock.vzw_root66.tar
Instructions:
1. Go into Odin put the stock rom into the PDA part and make sure the check mark next to it is checked.
2. Boot into Download mode by hitting Volume Down + Power + Home
2. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked under options (if not you can seriously mess up your phone).
3. Flash the stock rom using Odin.
4. Once it says pass in Odin take your phones battery out and boot into recovery by hitting Volume Up + Power + Home.
5. Hit wipe data/factory reset (your phone should restart)
6. Hit the bottom left then right then left then right then volume up to pass activation.
7 Then type *2767*3855# into the phone once you set it up (you shouldn't have to press call).
Now you phone should be fixed, and you should be able to root, unlock your boot loader and try again.
Tip:
When flashing SlimBean 4.2.1 beta 1 and CM10.1 use a dirty flash over a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom.
- Dirty flash is when you don't clear your data before you flash.
thanks
Trying this now, I have been working all day to fix this.
I first ran into problems yesterday, cm10 ran out of room, removed a bunch of stuff( my back ups). Did some flashing and reverting and such. Now i seem to be stuck in roam mode.
Questions: What is the point of step 5?
It just says to load into recovery then next step is once the phone is loaded.
There is no step 6.

Sorry I'll fix that I was in a rush to get this finished before work.
This works!
But if you are still interested in CM10.1 you can still flash it with data working!
I decided to go out on a limb and tried going from ICS (VRALG1_odex) rooted/unlocked (after using provision code and getting data back) to CM10.1. To my surprise I found I flashed fine and had data!
I highly suggest using this ROM (http://www.sundergaming.com/downloads/sch-i535/tw/VRALG1_Odex.zip) as it uses its own UI when flashing it from recovery and will keep both ROOT and UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER when installing.
My guess is the problem seems to lie somewhere between a tw rom 4.1.1 JB and cm10.1
Luckly I don't have to deal with this and everything rolled over perfectly for cm10.1
Wow, I wished you had posted this before I returned my phone to the store for a warranty replacement!
Would have saved me a few days of agony, flashing and re-flashing that's for sure. Thanks for sharing though! It's good to know there is a fix for this.
You don't have to do this. This happened to me. Flash cm10.1 without any g apps. This will take u past the activation screen. Go into settings and change mobile network settings to SIM and automatic. Reboot phone. Make sure you have data, phone, and sms. Boot into recovery and flash away. U should have everything back on whatever Rom u choose.

I can confirm this worked for me!
But, I couldn't get passed the activation screen in order for me to dial the code to reset phone so what I had to do was tap on the bottom of the screen as follows= Tap Left -Tap Right- Tap Left- Tap Right- then Volume up to get out of activation screen then was I able to dial the code to reset my phone. Thank you for this guide op!!!!
i wish i would have seen this yesterday. after trying to flash CM10.1 and getting stuck in roaming for a day in a half, i had to return mine to Costco and get a new one.

not necessarily. I did this and I was stuck in roaming but all I had to do was go into wireless settings/mobile network settings and make sure my preferred network was set to LTE/CDMA
you can do all this while your phone is trying to activate.

I tried flashing 4.2.1 ROM just to check it out before putting my phone back to stock for a replacement and it borked my network. I tried the method mentioned in the OP and it works great, thanks.
Thank you so much.....you saved my butt and now my phone is working again. Guess I should stop flashing a new rom every couple weeks.
I've figured out how to fix it! First, I went to Section 5 of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 thread and odin-ed back to stock. Next I fixed my IMEI using a guide I found on xda. It was the second part of thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117 thread that says "IMEI is already corrupt".
Next, I did a bunch of things that I don't think I should have done and I ended up with a soft brick phone so I went and flashed back to stock via odin by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 guide. I don't really know if it was necessary and I ended up getting stuck on the activation screen. If at any time you can not get past the activation screen, the third post down from here shows how to get past it so you could go to your settings and check them out or unlock your bootloader or whatever it is you need to do. But this whole part may not be necessary.
This is the part that I think completely fixed the phone. Probably the most important part of this whole guide. You have to dial *2767*3855# from a completely stock rom (root66 or others). It factory reset my phone and somehow the calls work, although it always says I'm roaming
A couple days ago I rooted my s3 and flashed the CM10.1 ROM. It had problems with mobile data and connecting to 4G and phone calls, so I tried out a bunch of different ROMs before deciding it had to be something else.
I figured out that my IMEI had been erased and since I didn't have it backed up (and I have no idea where my nandroid backup is or what happened to it) I had to manually restore it using some NV items reader writer tool and some other similar tool. It worked but there was something else, I think it was called ERI, was set to none. I kept trying stuff and ended up doing a factory reset. I attempted to unroot my S3, I have no idea if I succeeded in unrooting.
What I just did was soft brick my s3, not completely sure how, but I did then re flash root66 using odin successfully and now I'm back to the activation screen. Now it is stuck trying to activate the phone, but it fails every-time, and I can't do anything but restart the phone. So I restart the phone and have to go through the set up screen again and it tries to re-activate but fails and goes through the whole thing again.
Could someone please help me?
According to the Verizon website the phone is activated.
Update 8:24 PM EST: I have gotten past the activation screen but it says that the phone is out of service and when I try to call someone it says that the "mobile network is not available". Please help.
Since nobody is here to answer me, I will post the answer once I figure out what to do, just in case somebody in the future has the same problem.
I'm going to start by re-rooting my phone. I'll let you know how that goes and if anybody else could help me out that would be great. Thanks.
UPDATE 7:45PM EST:
I successfully re rooted the phone via odin and tried to start it up to no avail. Next I tried to flash a ROM, but I must have forgotten to unlock the bootloader since I couldn't even get the phone to boot completely. Right now I'm flashing back to the vzw root66 rom and then I'm going to re root and try to unlock the boot loader.
UPDATE 8:07PM EST:
I finally figured out how to get past the activation screen and I unlocked my bootloader. Before I flash AOKP I'm going to see if I could fix everything else. I think I'm pretty close to a solution. If anybody else is having the same problem send me a message or reply here, I'll try to answer your questions if you let me know what you've done.
I really just need a way past the activation screen. After that I think I could figure out what to do.
Sorry your having problems. I wish I could help but never ran into that problem so everything you said went over my head otherwise I would of fine a lot of research. At least now you are learning more and more.I just figured I would respond since no one else did.Good luck.

In case someone else has this problem...When I flashed pure 4.2.1, I couldnt get past activation and then found out how to bypass the screen. Tap once in each corner of the screen to bypass activation screen. Then once at home screen go to settings>more(right below WiFi/Bluetooth/data)>mobile networks>CDMA subscription. NV will be selected, change it to RUIM/SIM. Reboot phone. Worked perfectly for me.

Thanks for this post. I ran into the same problem (flashing CM 10.1) with my first S3 phone but did not know how to fix it (wish I saw your post ahead of time). I returned phone to stock via Odin and was able to exchange for a second S3 phone via Verizon (since I have phone insurance). I flashed AOKP ms 1 (jb 4.1.2) on second S3 phone and noticed it was hanging on activation and also said no mobile network when trying to make a call. Luckily, the phone spontaneously rebooted on its own and then started working. Previous to my first S3 phone, I had a Galaxy Nexus. Never ran into any problems with the Galaxy Nexus and almost tempted to go back to it since the S3 seems buggy when flashing a new rom. I am afraid I'm going to brick yet another S3 and be out $400 since I don't think phone insurance will allow me to exchange a second time since this probably alert them to the fact that I'm flashing custom roms.
Also, under mobile networks>system select be sure to change from home to automatic. Reboot.

All was working fine until I tried to do this. At first nothing was selected and everything was working, but when I tried selecting automatic and rebooted it selected home for me and it is impossible to change back to automatic without it automatically changing it back to home against my will.
Just in case this post gets moved, I want to identify my device as the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (i535).
To give a little background on my issue, I have an issue with the device. When I first got it back in July, first thing I did was root the device. Naturally, since it was a new device, I was working with experimental methods... a couple weeks ago I thought to download CyanogenMod 10.1 (nightly build) to flash it with 4.2 and rid myself of the persistent OTA update that as we all know could not effectively install because of the measures I took to root. So, I boot into recovery and flash my custom rom. BAM! As it turns out, I did not have an unlocked bootloader and my phone was now teetering on the verge of being a $600 paperweight. I got that dumb yellow triangle saying unofficial firmware detected or some nonsense like that... Anyway, I look around the internet and decided that I was going to revert back to a stock rom using Odin, and then proceed to unlock my bootloader and root the device (I followed method 3 here) I used some touch recovery console that I have never heard of before (backups incompatible with ClockworkMod recovery) and something must have failed because my back up would not flash. I took the hit on losing most everything and reflashed successfully the custom rom mentioned earlier.
After about a week, I noticed the device began to drop data. 4G would just stop at random parts of the day, and I would have to disable and enable the data to get it to reconnect. At this point I was still able to make and receive phone calls and texts. After about 3 days of this, I concluded it was more than likely a bug in the custom rom, and that I could not live with it... so I redid the a fore mentioned tutorial and left the phone as a stock/unlocked/rooted device. The data issue continued, but with a twist. I was now unable to make or receive phone calls or texts. No matter what I did, I could not do anything and the 4G would only stay connected for a matter 5 minutes or so. When I logged into my vzw account, it identified my device as an unknown non-verizon device. Customer service walked me through various soft/hard reset techniques and nothing worked. They also suggested I try a new SIM card, which failed to work.
So, I turn to the bright minds of the android community. I have already decided not to invoke the Verizon warranty offered, where the result is they take my malfunctioning phone in flawless cosmetic condition and replace it with a "like-new" phone in working condition, because I think it's garbage that a warranty would give out used crap (should fix or replace). I have not contacted Samsung customer support yet because I wanted to see what my options were. I've already attempted flashing different radios and nothing seem to make any difference. If I have to, I will revert it back to stock again and invoke Samsung's warranty program, but I would much rather keep the phone. As it sits, I am stuck with my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, and that just doesn't cut it.
So I ask, is there anything that can be done? Anyone know of a fix for my situation? I saw something about this in my quest for an answer and I don't know if my situation is a fit for this fix. If anyone has any knowledge of my issue and a work around for it, it would be greatly appreciated. I am at my whits end.
It sounds like you've done your homework on your problem.. The only thing in your post I didn't see was your sim card.. Maybe pulling it wait 2min restart. Shut down and insert,, or maybe a reprovision of the sim may be in order..
Ahaaaa....!!!
If your IMEI is intact, I would say to flash to ICS and reprovision the phone as suggested above. If it is not, you need to restore it with that backup that you made some time ago.
If it were me, I would reprovision, that is easy to do and I honestly think that it will work for you. If that works for you, reroot and restore your backup for TW ROM and you will be fine.

Well that's just it... I don't know anything about the IMEI and how to determine if that is the issue. If by reprovision you mean reflash back to stock, that is it's current state, and that did not resolve the issue.
As for the other comment in regards to the SIM card... I have already attempted that method, and it did not work. Also, a new SIM card was also tried, and had no success.

Google reprovision, it is a number combination that you enter on the keypad that resets your phone. I had a similar problem that you are having and that fixed our for me. You also need to know that when you do this, it will erase all of your information on the phone. It will be just like it was when you unpacked it and powered it on the first time.
You will have to be on ICS because they removed the option to do this with JB. Just search for the code to enter and you will be fine.

Ok. So I tried the reprovsioning mentioned above. When my phone rebooted I was on data and able to make phone calls. Score! However, I checked the IMEI and it said 0. So, thinking that it was just a matter of time before my device began to stop working again... I did the IMEI fix. Now my phone is placing calls and holding data without issue. The OTA updates are flooding in and installing without issues.
I would like to point out, while I feel better having done the combination of both reprovisioning and IMEI fix, ultimately the initial reprovisioning did appear to resolve the issue.
Thanks to everyone for the assistance provided.
Hi Everyone, I was wondering if I could get a little help -
I've had my S3 for a little over a month, rooted, stock kernel, cm 10.1. The other day the display suddenly went haywire, shifted green, and is now completely fubar (all black except for a little flickering strip up at the top).
Verizon sent me a replacement and I have to send the old one back, but I need to find a way to reset the flash counter and flash un-rooted stock rom before doing so...without a working screen.
The phone seems to work fine (pc recognizes it as well), I just can't see the damn thing and so can't install Traingle Away or any other apps that would help me.
Could anyone help me figure out a way to clear the flash counter and restore this thing to stock so I can send it back? I have 5 days and am getting kinda desperate...thank you in advance!
UPDATE: Lucky me, the screen turned on again after a day without functioning. It was green and had extremely low resolution, but it was enough to see what I was doing to unroot/return to stock. I wonder if this problem could have been caused by CM 10.1? I'm asking because touchwiz is the ugliest, clunkiest interface since the abacus and I want to root/flash the new phone right away...but I'm not sure if the gpu instability (I'm guessing that's what it was) was related to me flashing a custom rom and new firmware...any thoughts?
...Could I take the motherboard out of the broken phone, put it into the replacement, perform the necessary steps to return it to factory stock, and then put the motherboard back? I hope there's a less intimidating option...
id be shocked if they investigated it further after the device screen wont turn on as you describe.
especially if its not just ablack screen and it still sorta functions.

But won't it become an issue when they replace whatever's defective with the screen/gpu and see that it boots to CM when they try to refurbish it?
If your computer recognizes it and your phone is indeed functional. Try to get into download mode on your phone and flash a stock unrooted image. That should do the trick!

Can I do that through ODIN? I've always used clockwork for flashing roms, and I can't see the screen even in recovery. Also, would that reset the flash count?
Still kind of a noob at this, so sorry if any of the questions seem obvious. Thanks again for all your feedback
Exactly what thekucho said.
I had this exact problem, my screen took a crap while I was rooted and I needed to get back to stock before I sent it back. I was able to get it into download mode and Odin back to stock. I didn't even bother with resetting the flash counter and I haven't heard anything about it.
Boot into download mode (vol down + home + power), Odin back to stock, and you're good!
