[Q] Flashed CM 10.1/Cant activate phone, only receive data - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey so i was running the Cyanogenmod RC5 and decided to finally upgrade to the stable 10.1. Flashed, and now it boots the phone, and gets stuck on the activation part, and it wont activate. i can still see i have 4G service..but i can only receive data and texts, and im not able to send. Im on Verizon. Please help.
Anything is appreciated, i just want this up and running.

Can you get to the home screen or are you suck on the activation screen?

I can get to the homescreen but the phone never activates to make or receive calls.

Try downloading again and reflash. I flashed the new cm and it worked fine.

I'm having the same issue. I've got data, but can't make phone calls.
I've tried using Odin to flash a stock rom and still have the same results.
What version of CM did you flash to get it working?

I was using the 10.1.0 from the cm website. They have the new 10.1.0.1 release up now and I have not used that. Everything worked. Just flashed back this morning because I like bonestock rom features

Yup
I went ahead and flashed CM 10.1.0.1 along with the MF1 firmware just a little bit ago and I was having a constant no SIM error. Couldn't get it fixed, wiped everything but the external SD and tired again, changed the LTE mode back, still no go. So I ultimately just flashed back to my backup of CleanROM and rolled back to the MB1 firmware for my cameras sake.
I'll just wait until some more of the bugs get ironed out. I really miss having stable AOSP on my Droid Incredible, I was on CM7 from its initial release till retirement and beyond.
It seems like its kind of a hit or miss type of deal. Some phones work just fine, others, not so much.

Same problem, its just the "stable releases" are jacked up. Flash a nightly and the baseband (and google apps) and you'll be fine.
Oh, and go into settings and change SIM mode from NV to SIM, then reboot. You'll be good to go.

Aosp rom data issue

I have an issue when I flash any Aosp rom. After initial install I have strong 4G but if I reboot phone for any reason I lose all data. My imei is there and phone number is there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

sounds like your on the fringe of strong lte coverage...the latest ril commits were suppose to help this. might try the latest pa or aokp build.
I'm on liquid rc5 right now and data is excellent. I haven't tried a reboot though. I'm wondering if it might make a difference if I reboot through recovery. Just a thought, maybe I'm just grabbing at straws, but this issue makes roms like paranoid kinda useless. Thanks for the reply.

i have been using paranoid since 2.13 and its been flawless when im in strong lte...never rebooted and lost data. if you toggle airplane mode on/off it wont come back?
Not sure, but I've never tried. I'm kinda new to this as this is my first rooted device, and im kinda learning as I go. I was on beans 13, then 14, but i can't resist trying out all these jb builds. I will give the airplane mode toggle a try. Thanks

Well I tried the airplane toggle and it doesn't bring it back, anyone wit suggestions please let me know, I really want to be able to run Pa 2.20, but if I can't switch to phablet or another ui its kinda useless.

I have the same issue with the new builds of JB ROMs. I do a clean wipe of everything and I flash the ROM, but when it boots in the beginning, I can sign into my gmail with data (even when I'm connected) and I have to use WiFi. Then when everything boots, I have no data and still connected to data (showing 3g) I do a reboot and it works for awhile and it goes out again. So I just went back to Beans14

I'm on liquid rc5 right now and everything seems to be working. But if I were to reboot my phone will not connect to data. The 4G icon pops up but never turns blue, and if I try Google Now or something else that requires a data it says no Internet connection. I have to be doing something wrong.?

Maybe shut the phone off, remove sim card, and turn on without the sim card then shut phone off and put sim card back and turn phone back on. That might help.

Thanks for the reply, has this procedure worked for you in the past.?

It has worked for me on 2 GS3's. I was on stock TW though, I don't know if that'll make a difference.. it has something to do with updating your PRL or something like that, I can't really remember exactly what it updates. But it did work for me, it actually gave me better service.

Yes it has the other day after flashing liquid I was only getting 4g did that and it worked.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Ok cool ill give it a shot. I'm really hoping that it works. Because some of these pa builds are really nice, and I'd probably use liquid rc5 as a daily if I could reboot my phone and have a data come to back.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Hey man thanks. That actually worked, I'm not sure if my service is better but it came back after I shut down and did that procedure. I appreciate the help. I might actually be able to run one of those pa. Builds now.

i tried the same method as well too, but it didnt work for me. i dont know whats wrong, i think its just my phone because when i flash any AOSP rom, it doesnt connect to data after reboot. i do 3x wipes and what not but still nothing, my IMEI and phone number is all there so i dont know what it is. anyone have a idea??

Why am I having such trouble going to an AOSP ROM can keeping 4G/Data?

I know of the issue with the 4.2 ROMs. You must perform some tricks, such as change CDMA subscription, etc.. but that's not working for me. Still stuck on Roaming
So instead, everyone says.. flash a 4.1 AOSP ROM, and then dirty flash into 4.2. OK, so that doesn't work either, and even checking the CDMA subscription for RIUI or whatever, I still get stuck on Roaming.
As soon as I wipe and restore my TouchWiz backup, I'm back to no problems.
What is my plan of action in order to get a working 4.2 AOSP ROM? I've tried Wiping, 4.1 -> 4.2, and no go.
Help? I'm usually great at hacking, flashing, etc.. I got a 4.2 ROM working once, but forgot to create a backup. Now I can't get one working again.

Did you reboot after changing subscription?

Tried several reboots in both 4.1, and 4.2 with clean flashes. Tried it also in the 4.1 -> 4.2 dirty flash..
The setting sticks after a reboot, but still in R mode.
Ok try this... install cm 10.1 with no g apps. This will take you straight past the activation screen. Nor only do you change subscription but also network to automatic. Then reboot. I believe it's network. Can't remember exactly but it's right above the other one. I'm not on a 4.2 ROM to see right now but I know this works for me.

[Q] Unable to call in US, able to call in Europe (running CM 10.1)

Here's a somewhat interesting case, I think.
I installed CyanogenMod 10.1 and now have this problem where I can't hear/talk when I make a phone call. The call does connect to the other side (after a brief freeze of the phone app), but I hear nothing. Toggling the phone volume up/down during call makes no sound.
Here's what I've tried thus far:
Flash UXUMA7 modem.
Flash UCLI3 modem (current)
Take out SIM, shutdown phone. Insert SIM, reboot, reboot.
All other functions seem to work fine (messaging, etc.)
I'm on AT&T.
I was planning to reinstall a stock ROM and then flash CM again, but one thing confused me: I could call and hear fine when I was in Europe with a European (Vodaphone) SIM card last week. However, the same problem occurred when I used this SIM card to try to call the US (from Europe). So I'm wondering, is there setting I need to change?
Thanks in advance!
What ROM did you specifically install?

You could have stuck with 10.1-just not the experimental build. There was a commit added that fixed the no in-call audio bug. The audio is working fine now on the nightly builds. You can check out the thread and see which one has been the most stable for other users.

Fixed gps. Broke calls and text.

Finally fixed my gps but now I have worse issues. I fixed it by removing the back housing and putting it back on. Gps locks super quick now but I can't make and receive calls or send texts. I can receive texts. I did upgrade the modem in trying to fix the gps so that may be an issue. I didn't really move anything when I opened the phone up but who knows, maybe I messed up the cell antenna? Any ideas?
I get data and my signal bars are good but always grayed out.

[Q] No LTE access

it was working fine until yesterday and all of a sudden it wont give me LTE access. The access point was off but I turned it on and it still wont connect to LTE. I rooted and even flashed a stock radio. Nothing. Help?
Need more info.
You still get 3g?
Can you make and receive calls? Send texts?
What ROM?
... all radios are "stock". Just depends on what version you're running.

I do get 3g, some calls do not come in and some texts do not go out. And I used this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 (section 5)
to revert my sgs3 back to factory settings and touchwiz. I had cyanogenmod nightly running before and it was then that it stopped working.
Have you tried to turn the radio off and then back on?
That's always been a reliable solution for me when I've run into similar problems in the past..

I am having a similar problem to you. I flashed a CM nightly build for my S3 and am unable to make calls/send texts. LTE works, but only sort of. I was told to try these steps suggested by SlimSnoopOS, but none of them worked for me. I'd recommend getting a log viewer/ logcat application. I am going to do that later to see about my issue.
I was on CM 10.2 nightlies and lost LTE. Reset my phone and everything. Turned out CM screwed up my SIM card and I got a new one. After I powered on my phone with the new SIM, good to go.
