[Q] 4G Coverage is spot on no 2G coverage - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

First post long time lurker. I recently took the latest OTA verizon update with the VRBMB1 modem and then flashed the latest cleanROM 6 R2. When I go out of 4G I have no service where I usually had either 3G or 2G. I tried flashing back to the VRBLK3 to test and I still have the same issue. Any ideas?

check your IMEI
check your IMEI number under Settings >About phone >Status... if it is zero then this link should help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442

Checked my IMEI and it has the 99XXXXXXXXXXXXX number in there.

Try this
You can try the re-provision code in your dialer *2767*3855# but it only works on an ICS rom

you lost your IMEI....theres a forum with a guide on how to repair your IMEI, if you had a restore from a rom that you had your IMEI on, its possible that restoring back to it would restore your IMEI, otherwise, you're out of luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255 there is an adb command to restore it even if you lost it without a backup

Lost all data connections

Last night I lost my data connection. Phone started random reboots, then data gone. I reinstalled the rom and the reboots stopped but lost data connection. Today just a red r above red signal bars. Pulled battery, reinstalled rom, attenas, kernels. running JB AOKP 4.12 , trying latest HE and HD attenas made no difference. Shows 000-000-0016 for my number and unknown 0 for mobile network type.
Try going back to stock or flashing something else.

Got it fixed my phone was in a global gsm mode and roaming was off logged onto my Verizon and reactivated it

Help. Lost all hope for this phone.

Hi, Ive had galaxy s3 for almost 4 months. with quite experience, with ROMs and Rooting and such. Ive used cm10, Synergy Rom and CLEAN rom. About 2 days ago, I flashed MIUI rom and all of the sudden, I lost my signal and went into roaming.I wish I backed up. I tried to repair my IMEI and ERI by using this using this tool, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442 ) and. only problem was it wasnt broken ERI or lost IMEI. So i decided to odin back to stock and call *2767*3855#. It goes stright to verizon message or tech support. and so i thought my SIM was fried,about 3 hours ago i went to Verizon retail and replaced the sim. Still nothing.And they said they cant help me. I have no warrenty or anything as well.

Read this on another forum regarding this issue for MIUI for the Verizon GS3:
"In CDMA subscription, NV was selected, so I clicked UIM and gave it a reboot.and I had data. So decided to flash miui again right now and NV was selected again. UIM and reboot.and I have data."
Perhaps this is your issue as well. No harm in checking, I guess.
MIUI and the horror stories. I hope you get it squared away.

You guys are missing what I am asking for. There use to be a app in the play market by [email protected] called Phone Info. Not the normal phone info that comes with the stock rom. This app use to allow you to change the mode on your phone from the CDMA to GSM if you had a the sch-i535. About 2 weeks ago they deleted it from the market, and now I need it. I just need someone with that .apk file.

The 4636 code does the same exact thing as phone info.... same exact thing. Type that code in and scroll down... Magic! But if you still aren't willing to try it or give any more information on what ROM or anything you are using, pm me your email and I'll send it to you.

You dont need any apps for that. I know you're talking about global mode (switch the radio to gsm). Thats just in settings>more settings>mobile networks>network mode
Unless I'm still not understanding what you want to do. It sounds like you want to switch to GSM mode...the above does it.

This.
Or Just do the OTA to Jellybean! Is there a reason you didn't do it? That option was only enabled in 4.1
if you still want it...
I found out that you don't need it just go into settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode and there you go you can change to global LTE/CDMA or GSM/UMTS
Net Monitor Worked for me instead of Phone info.
I am running CM 10.1 nightly.
The *#*#4636#*#* brought up the ability to change the mode to GSM, but if i go into settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode I only have ' LTE/CDMA/EvDo' and 'CDMA/EvDo auto.'
I am travelling to UK, Italy and Spain next week so I am trying to ensure this will work. I will be staying with the Verizon SIM and incurring the roaming charges (business phone) and won't be using another SIM.
Thoughts?
want to change from cdma to gsm also

[Q] Just installed ROM, no APN though?

Hi, I just recently installed Slim Bean 4.3 (stable) on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 as well as flashing gapps, however, I don't get mobile data. I was told to check my APNs and there weren't any. Is there a specific one I should be using? I've attempted several from the internet and/or here, however, I'm still unsuccessful.
I would greatly appreciate a working APN or other solution that I haven't noticed, because I'd like to use Slim Bean. I'll end up flashing back to 4.0.4 stock and trying another ROM if I can't find something good.
What do you have selected in Mobile Networks/Mobile Networks Settings/CDMA Subscription? RUIM/SIM should be selected. Also, do you have your IMEI and proper phone number in About Phone?

I tried this (as well as flashing CyanogenMod) but still to no luck on both ROMs. I'm about to flash to 4.0.4 and I'll probably keep it there at the moment. I noticed that I was using TWRP 2.5 which isn't the latest version so I'm gonna try to figure out how to flash 2.6 as well.
Alright, so, I flashed 4.0.4 (through ODIN) and I don't have data through there either.
Hm.
Time to go deeper.
Be careful what you do, kids, you might lose your data connection and be incredibly annoyed!
To be fair, I was kind of just messing around and not paying strict attention, so this isn't incredibly surprising to me. If it comes down to it I'm going to get my phone reset with Verizon.

I would try flashing to 4.1.2 mf1. I lost data on 4.2.2 twice and one of those times I flashed back to 4.0.4 and didn't have data. Flashing to the latest 4.1.2 fixed everything.
do you happen to know what the problem was?
i'm downloading Official VRBMF1 4.1.2 right now.
I'm crossing my fingers that this works.
