where did you get cm10 for the vzw phone? I thought it was for all of the other phones but vzw? Try going back to stock non root. try flashing the modems in the thread about this one.

Flash the stock tar.md5 from here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=scH-i535
Whatever you flashed put a custom kernel on there, and that's why you get that message.

I have tried to odin stock and then wipe. still showing no data connection, and same thing when I put my wifes sim in. IM thinkiing it has something to do with the dual boot i had set up before. is there a way to repartion the internal sd card or emmc?

This seems to be happening to a lot of people flashing AOSP ROMs....this is why they warn you they are not responsible for what happens to your phone...especially with Betas.
There are many threads on this and several on how to get a workaround until someone figures out how to fix this.
Try doing a search on losing IMEI or roaming after flashing CM10...it is happening a lot...that is why I am just using rooted stock with VZW apps and TW frozen.

this problem I was having with no data or radio in CM10.
I used ODIN to go back to stock rooted (root 66).
When I did that I was boot looping in the puking rainbows 4GLTE boot animation.
I eventually figured out how to fix that by booting into recovery (press volume up, home button, and power button at the same time till phone boots). I then did a wipe data/factory reset.
My phone then booted fine into stock root.
I then proceeded to punch in *2767*3855# into my dialer immediately when I got stock root working. That did some sort of a factory reset / format. It all happened so quick I could barely read what it told me. The phone rebooted after a while.
I then downloaded EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3 app from the Play store.
I installed the custom recovery from Dhacker's CM10 post over on the droidhive forums using EZ recovery.
I also downloaded the CM10 file to flash and the Jelly Bean Google Apps file.
Rebooted into recovery, Wiped data/cache/dalvik.
Installed the CM10 file.
Installed the Jelly Bean apps.
Reboot.
Profit.
I now have a largely functional CM10 (as far as I can tell there are some camera issues). Data 3G/4G is working, so are calls and text and everything is dandy.

Did the *27 bla bla thing posted above and back to normal. Thanks everyone

[Q]No cell service

Hello. I am having a bit of an issue. Today after I decided after having fun with touch wiz i decided i wanted to go back to a backuped copy of ParAndorid and we it go to the home screen i got repeated errors of com.andorid.phone so i rebooted and since I haven't had any cell service. I put it back to factory, tryed different roms and such and non are working. I even tired the ##76786# and got nothing. Any ideas?

Im guessing you lost your IMEI, did you happen to back it up? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

as far as ik its still there. Its showing a 99000020.... number. No, i didn't know if i had too.

Maybe your sim got jacked or something? Did you just do a reset on your phone or did you odin back to stock? If you just did a reset maybe odin a factory image and see if its corrected? Also before that maybe you can try flashing the radio/modem and see what that does?

I just did the factory restore in the rooted version of touch wiz i have installed and it corrected this issue. I ended up calling them to make sure it was nothing on my end. It was werid that a factory restore insdie of touch wiz would fix something that odin couldn't.
But yeah topic [solved] Thank you though x714x

Cool, glad you got it fixed!

Hello Everyone,
I ran into a problem today while trying to update to JB. I installed AllianceROM_I9300_JB_XXELK4-Base on my Galaxy S3. I noticed It changed the baseband to something different of what I have. Since I was not able to make calls, I decided to restore my backup trough CSW.
I noticed then that my IMEI had changed to something else.
My status now is: The IMEI I had is now different, the modem I had that used to work is not working anymore, I flashed a different version of the modem but I cant get it to register on the network.
Any help is appreciated.

[Q] HELP! may have fried my phone with CM 10.1 update!!

Hello all and Merry Christmas!
I am in dire need of assistence.
Last night I went to update my CM rom to the 10.1 Dec.21st nightly. I have now been told that they were known to be corrupted. Anyways now I have restored multiple recoveries and I cant get my calls/texts to go through. The only connection I seem to be able to get is back in Stock TouchWiz where it gives me the option to "enable roaming for this trip." Wifi and everything else still work fine. Any suggestions??
Thanks!
Pups

Anyone!! please!!

I haven't tried any of this, I don't run CM but you might want to give this a read. Not sure if this is even your problem.

I hit the roaming issue with yesterday's build and I solved it rather easily.
You don't need to Odin anything.
Simply factory reset and flash back to any TouchWiz rom from recovery. It can even be a Jellybean one.
Older CM10 or CM10.1 builds seemed to work, but were far less effective at restoring reception.

Okay so when I flashed Dec 21st CM10.1 i got into a loop and the ROM wouldnt even run so I just pulled my battery and restored to my last nightly. THEN the phone aspects stopped working. Should I factory reset from my CM 10 nightly or from my stock touchwiz recovery file. I already factory reset from my touchwiz file using TWRP

[Q] Verizon Galaxy s3 roaming only, not activating

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.

Well that's good to know that you got it back working again. Sounds like it might be just be the ROM and not anything weird that we did to cause the loss of connectivity.

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

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.

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:

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.

Restored imei but not connecting to network like it should

I tried flashing cm one day and after hours of not being able to connect to the network I realized my imei was deleted. I restored it flashed back to paranoid 4.3 but have been having connection issues. Next to no service in my house and places I had 4g I have 1 x or searching for service. I noticed my prl is 0, imeisv is 0 and also my eri set to 0. I flashed back to stock and everything was fine but as I excepted ota to upgrade firmware the mentioned above went back to zero. I believe I didn't do something correctly it's more than bad reception. Any ideas?

So, to clarify, on stock you have normal connectivity and the imei and meid is present in settings>about phone>status?

Restore from a previous TWRP or CWM backup. I had the same problem before and restoring a backup was the only thing that worked. I even tried manually restoring the IMEI through QPST without any progress.

I'll give it a try thanks

For whatever reason I can't access my back ups. In twrp I go to restore and folder is empty. My back ups are on my sd card which I've used several times before. I tried going into install then go directly to that folder but nothing happens just goes into sub cater gory. I'm so lost this seems to not be a common issue so there's. Of a lot of info out there

I recently got through this issue too. After fixing my IMEI, ERI and MEID my phone would recognize a network but could not make calls. What I had to do was ODIN back to a stock unrooted ROM then complete a factory reset from INSIDE THE ROM, not from recovery. Reflashing a nandroid from recovery wouldn't work and simply flashing to a stock ROM wouldn't work, it was only after doing a factory reset using the ROM (Menu->Settings->Backup and Reset->Factory data reset) that I got connectivity back fully. This might work with a Touchwiz rooted rom but I don't know for sure. Obviously after that you'll need to re-root and re-flash whatever ROM you want or restor from a previous saved backup. ABSOLUTELY backup your IMEI information, if I knew what I was doing the first time and knew how simple it was and how little time it takes I would have done that first and avoided all this hassle!!

I'm glad this worked for you. I was banging my head against the wall for a few days trying to figure this out. If you haven't already done it, back up your IMEI using the link in my last post. It literally takes only minutes and saves TONS of hassle.

I was at the point I was gonna chalk this phone up as a loss. It doesn't seem like a common issue so there isn't a whole lot of help out there for this issue. I'm so glad I decided to check back in this thread. I can now afford to buy better presents for Xmas lol. You saved the day.

I noticed the same thing. I've been using the same file for the last couple years without fail pm if you want it. Goo manager also has it.

OP you MUST backup your IMEI. If you don't you are going to have a serious headache getting it back.

Sorry I fell off the map on this, life's been busy lately!! All the links to the files I used are infact down. Were you able to get your hands on a stock rom? For all the repair work I used CleanROM, but I only flashed a stock ROM to do the factory reset. I'm actually wondering if doing a factory reset from the menu in CleanROM will do the same thing. Do your research so you don't brick your phone.
I went and looked on my computer and saw the file I used for a stock rom was a Root66 (pre-rooted) ROM.
For what it's worth, here's the links I used:
I started with this return to stock guide. Step three led me to this guide to flash a stock rom using ODIN. Step five of that guide had the links to the stock ROMs and stock pre-rooted ROMs. I was having trouble downloading a 4.1.2 ROM so I used a 4.1.1 instead.
If you still need a stock ROM let me know and I'll find a way to get the one I used to you.

Hey, no worries.. Life is much more important. Thanks for responding. I did get fixed.
I went back to a 4.1.2 ROM, couldn't fix everything. Eventually got back to 4.0.4. Got everything straightened out. And backed that _ _ _ _ up.
Was than able to upgrade to 4.4.2 aosp ROM, of course without needing the backup. But I have it.
Thanks again....as is usually the case, not reading enough up front did me in. Let that be a lesson kids.
