[Q] my roaming issue- please tell me what prl you have - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I posted in another thread that I cannot roam in Canada. I'm on cm10.1.2. I don't get any cell service at all, nevermind data. I have received 2 text messages after found a factory wipe, but then lost my network again.
I'm wondering if I have an old or corrupt prl file. The version I'm running is 15234. The way to check this is settings--aboutphone--status, then scroll down & check what version you're on. If a few people could check that for me& post here I'd be very thankful.

I'm on 15233

Same here.

Solved my issue. It wasn't my prl. I used the phone info app & changed my radio band to "pcs" which allows my phone to find the local cdma network. It won't get data, but I don't mind that.
Thanks for the help, guys.

Assuming that your phone is setup to work on your network, you'll need to look into how to add your CSC and APN settings. This is AT&T firmware, and defaults to the AT&T CSC and APN settings.
Edit : For anyone else with this issue, see further along in this thread. qkster has a link to a phone.apk that works on other bands and solves this issue.

Yes it is unlocked & works on my docomo carrier! The problem I face is while roaming, in my docomo network there is less signal so thats y it gets changed to any other network in roaming! And due to this it is charged alot!

Ok what rom did you nan back to? You may want to flash Scotts rom which is very close to stock and see if that fixes the problem. Plus this is in the wrong section you needed general forum.

First partner this is in the wrong section, pretty sure you sent releasing anything. Second it sounds like you sim card went bad, get a new one from Verizon. Also, it doesn't hurt to Odin back to factory it can cure a lot if problems. I like to do it every now and then just to clean up.

Well I don't know the APN, but I never had a trouble with APN's since its provided by the carrier. If none answer this post and you got there with an issue in your data. You should try to reset the APN configs by going on "Settings"->" Network"-> "Mobile Networks"-> "Access Point Names(APN) " and the use the menu touchkey and select reset option.
Hope it does work!!

Thanks for your help. I put the MTS simcard in and reset to default and the apn for MTS showed up. I remember before I always had to input the apn manually. Thanks again!

[Q] (noob) Help, tried flashing cm10.1 and now I dont have cell signal or data

So I am a noob but have successfully flashed a few roms onto my phone with no issue. Today I tried to flash cm10.1 and all hell broke loose. I flashed cm10.1 though clockworkmod (now I know that was not correct) and then reset everything and did it though bootrecovery. I also flashed the gaaps and now I do not have data or local cell service. It is showing that I am roaming (like i am out of the country) and asking me if I want the data on and would be charged for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, at this point I have a phone that I cannot use. Thank you in advance
Check out the thread under Original Development. Known issue on that build.

Help please. No voice or sms but I do have data

I just flashed the 12/20 version of cm 10.1 without reading the caveat that there was no data. So after realizing my mistake I went back to a nandroid I had of jelly wiz. I thought all was well as my email Facebook etc worked. I checked my idea number and phone number and that was correct, however I am now unable to use anything but the 4G network. ie I have no voice service.
Can some one please help me as it's driving me to distraction trying to find ways to fix it
I just looked and now it's showing me as not having my phone number correct it has a number of zeros and a 4digit number. The imei number still shows as correct though.

If you want cm10.1, flash an unofficial build, settings > mobile settings > CDMA subscription > ruim/sim, toggle airplane mode.

Just got back into cell phone range. Thanks for the info. I flashed an unofficial cm10.1 build. And did what was suggested. Thankfully I now have a fully working phone again. However beware that some of your data maybee lost. I'm not sure why. I think it is due to the way android 4.2 deals with multiple users. Make sure you back up all data off your device. A backup with titanium did not work for some apps, the XDA developer app amongst them btw.

I'm going to go overboard and deep NOOB, and ask if i have restored to stock, and still have this issue, do I need to re-root and then flash CM10.1 to get the radio portion working again?
Once i have it working correctly, how do I flash a different ROM {AOKP} to prevent this from happening again?

Yea I'm pretty much in the same boot as the guy above me. Flashed cm10.1 and had no data and whatnot. And then flashed galaxy mod 11 and now have no voice or text but do have data. So I Odin back to stock root66 like a lot of people suggested. But still have no voice or text. Imei is good ERL is good. So I have no clue what is the next step to take. Any suggestions?

Once you Odin to stock VRALF2 or VRALG1 rom, enter the dialer code (pretty sure this formats internal storage)

Don't need a new card. All of SlimSnoop's directions are correct.

I had the same problem, and did what SlimSnoopOS wrote. The only thing I would add was change to airplane mode before entering the code in the dialer.

Any reason for turning on airplane mode? Or was that to avoid an OTA prompt after Odin flashing ICS root66?

Snoop they got someone in another thread saying they fixed with airplane mode. We got hundreds of these threads. It is a worldwide pandemic. If they don't want to listen leave it. Just send them to 10.1 thread the fix is there.
