I would reflash the Hyperdrive ROM with no theme. I've had that happen a few times when applying a theme to my ROM. if you flash the Hyperdrive ROM and it still doesn't work I'd flash a different ROM.
After flashing, (of course after full wipe) test calls and messages and contacts apps. Then if you flash a mod or theme after that. Try your phone,text and contacts again. If they do not work, then your theme has borked them.
I have tried re flashing the ROM and still nothing i wiped everything that needed to be wiped before flashing and still nothing. I didn't think a theme would make this happen. But I guess another ROM wouldn't hurt to see if it works then. Will post back after and I might need some help though if it does not work

Go to System Settings > About Phone > Status. Under IMEI there should be a 15 digit number. If it's missing or just says 0 then you lost your IMEI, which is basically your phone's network ID number. Also is your phone number correct as listed in that menu?

Assuming you didn't make a back up, you're going to have to restore it. Here's the link to a tutorial: http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79
It is pretty involved so make sure you read the instructions carefully. Are you familiar with ODIN, because the first thing you have to do is flash back to a stock rooted ROM. Use this thread for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
If you don't feel comfortable doing all of it I would get somebody that does. You can easily hard brick your phone using ODIN. Also, ODIN will completely erase your internal memory. So I would make a backup of any photos/files you need before proceeding.

Yeah i have a friend that helped me use Odin but hes not on Skype and he won't be anytime soon i believe, i don't trust myself doing it alone.
The first thing I would try would be to flash the mbf1 radio.
I have had similar issues and that's the easy fix.

He is right, getting your imei back is only halfway home. Your ERI should say 5 and under mobile network is should say Verzion Wireless.

I do recommend once you get your phone straightened out go to the Synergy rom thread and find the zip to backup your imei and eri and put it away for safe keeping just in case.

If you have lost your IMEI/ERI you a few ways you can try to get it back.
1) You can use Odin to go all the way back to ICS and then reprovision your phone. Once you're on stock ICS type *2767*3855# in your dialer. Go to part five of this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1
Once you have service back you then use casual to root,unlock and flash custom recovery. Then before you flash any roms to go Synergy thread and download the HW backup zip to make a backup of your IMEI/ERI and put that folder away for safe keeping..ie hdd, drobpox,etc.
2) I was able to get mine back without using Odin with this method.

Boy have i had one heck of a day. So there i was driving along in my buddies car, minding my own business flashing dhacker's latest CM10 build. But then out of no where, BAM, there went my IMEI, and with it went my day. I had a backup of the efs.sbn so i thought "no biggie" and went to restore it. I couldnt find it and went to the next step and did is with the QPST software. I quickly restored my IMEI and i thought i was home free; boy was i wrong.... I noticed something was wrong: no data still.
So i had a fully intact IMEI and still no data. I headed over to IRC where i pleaded for help. I was given the number to reset your sim card, and without being told it would wipe my whole phone (silly invisiblek) i blindly killed everything on my sweet little handset and went back to square one. well maybe square 0....
My newly wiped phone turned on stock rooted. My data had been turned into Roaming, which was as good as not there . I ran back to IRC and asked about what happened. I was told to try the mms fix for CM10. this meant that i had to flash CM10. I flashed CM10 booted up and my IMEI was still intact (however my MEID soon reverted to 0's) and i still had raoming. i did all the steps and i was left in the same boat, but with mms for when i had data lol
And then i went back to IRC and chadamir said he would help me by walking me through it. He told me i needed to odin back to stock. AND HERES WHERE THE BEST PART HAPPENS: I open up odin, put my phone in download mode and flash invisbleks rooted stripped rom (which i used to root my phone weeks ago) and just like that BOOTLOOPS FOR DAYS. so... you know, as usual, no biggie, right? I flashed root66 BOOTLOOPS FOR DAYS. Maybe a little worried at this point, but i decide to sleep on it. I do, and this morning i flash a completely stock unrooted .tar and lo and behold....... BOOTLOOPS FOR DAYS.
UPDATE: I have no booted into my phone, no data still.
WHERE I'M AT RIGHT NOW:
take back to verizon and tell them it wont boot
flash more
get help from one of you fellows!
cry myself to sleep
can you get to recovery and wipe data factory reset?
OP updated: i have booted into recovery wiped data and am now in Stock unrooted, still no data. No roaming also
Happened to me, no known fix.
I went to Verizon and got a replacement. They'll ship it to you with 2 day rushed shipping.

I wish I could just blame this problem solely on Verizon, but apparently this has been happening across the board. I flashed a CM10 ROM last week but got sick of everything not functioning properly so I switched back to TW based...now I'm scared to go back :/ especially after reading this. I backed mine up, but it sounds like that may not be enough. To make matters worse, I don't have a PC to tinker around with, so no Odin for me.
Same happened to me. My imei went to 0 I was able to recover that using qpst. They my maid went to all 0s. I was able to fix that by pushing the original backup method onto my phone but I was stuck in roaming. So I activated my old iPhone in place of my s3 and tried to reactivate my s3 instead of my iPhone. It would just take me to a black screen so I took it into Verizon expecting to get a replacement phone, nope! The guy at Verizon took out my SIM card did some **** on the comp put the SIM card back in and it worked fine. Now I'm browsing 4g 3g and WiFi

You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

I used how to for soft brick to get back to stock, then used how to repair iemi/roaming issue
Follow thoes 2 guides and youll be good, it worked for me
Just make sure that you unlock your bootloader again and reflash cwm from rom manager
Also be prepared to reflash the cm10 nighty from get.cm (make sure it is 10 not 10.1) because verison will push a software update without even going into setting/about phone/software update
Last of all you will need to update your baseband/modem

I flashed CM10.1, first time losing my data.. got it back by ODIN to stock, then typing his magic code in above.
Love you
I found a quick fix
Ok here is how to fix it I just sorta stumbled upon this.. Re flash cm10.1 when it is first activating either pull your sim or go into airplane mode by pulling down with two fingers from the top and accesing quick settings. then finish the setup over wifi- turn the phone off pop your sim out and put it back in and reboot. now when you take off airplane mode it should be fixed but it wont activate so just use Odin and re-flash root66

I heard the airplane fix is in the CM thread where it belongs. It is not a Q&A thread if it is a known issue with a particular rom. It belongs in that rom thread.

i had the same problem, flash back to the stock rom and dial *2767*3855# it will re-provision your phone and you wont be roaming any longer
How to Fix maybe
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....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.

You just take a breath. OK? I was there with old miui. I had the roaming triangle. I've been doing this for a few years or so and never had this happen. I got new sim ...boom problem solved. Yes I did EVERYTHING..lol
Edit. First Odin back to stock. But that didn't work for me either but worth a shot. You tried a factory data reset from stock backup too? If that doesn't work. Its your sim card is fried. When you call out do you get the credit card option to make call? If so just get new sim. Then stick it in and it will re sign
No worries bro

First off wrong forum this is for development not data issues.
If you read the CM 10.1 thread things that worked was flashing an unofficial CM10.1 build which you can find on rootzwiki or try using odin to revert back to stock touchwiz.
Also try going through the setup wizard on stock touchwiz rom after you go through it the first time.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, it's not the SIM, as I'm using that in the nexus as we speak.

First, check if your imei is intact. If so just odin back to ics stock, and to reprovision code, notw that it will delete your internal sdcard and I think extcard also. The code is *2767*3855#

Last version of CM 10.1 has no data. Read their forum. It is in the first post on page one.

Thanks all that provided input. i went to an ics build, flashed bootloader and the stock image, reprogrammed the imei, and did a factory format. Turned on and had data.
So, yesterday, I had a perfectly functioning, stock 4.1.1/rooted unit.
Got a little frisky and decided to try out Liquid Smooth. Flashed that through recovery (it's a 4.2.1 Beta 2) but forgot to do the bootlocker.
The latest LS has a Bluetooth sound problem that's pretty bad. So, I thought I'd switch over to CM10.1, their 4.2.1 effort.
Well, without the bootlocker in place, you can pretty much guess how that worked out.
So now, I've odin'ed a variety of roms and so forth; no clue what happened to my backup.
My main focus has been what I call the dunce-cap routine, of going back to stock and starting over.
The problem? I did that and now I'm stuck in roaming mode and my calls don't work.
I'm dead without this phone (considering how long I've been working on this, since 8 pm or so yesterday except for a couple of hours of sleep, I might be dead, period.) and I've got to have one functioning. It's so bad that I'm considering just trashing it and buying another one, even thought THAT would hurt.
Almost everything I try winds up either getting the yellow triangle or the odin fail.
Now, thanks to some help I've gotten here that focused me into understanding this total screw up is MY fault completely, I believe I know what has to be done.
The plan was to go back to stock, root and DO THE DAMNED BOOTLOCKER, then go back into CM10.1 and make some changes in subscribing to CDMA or something (don't have that in front of me this second) to get the phone part of the phone operational but I can't get there.
In the guide here I have completed step 1, flashing the factory image.
The next step is blowing me up. I have used the file I have for the Recovery: CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5.tar, maybe 4 times.
NOW when I try it, odin fails and the phone tells me "secure check fail : recovery."
And help would be appreciated. Before I feed this thing to my Doberman Cavalier Spaniel. Or something.
Have you tried Odin with a completely stock rom?

Yup. Completely stock rom is installed. The next step was installing the recovery... and using a file that I had used before, that's where I'm running into the problem of the secure check fail.
That very file HAS worked before, 3 or 4 times with no problem.
Why does the file end in ".tar.md5.tar"? It's supposed to end in ".tar.md5" Since owning this phone, I've never seen a file with ".tar" twice in the file name.

Disregard that, I'll be back in a minute with some help. I'm pretty sure the new boot chain will not except custom recovery. Try this guide.

If you were able to Odin a stock rom then Odin a stock rom that has been pre rooted and then just use ez recovery from the play store to flash cwm

Looks good. Booted into the rom with no warnings... It says "pass."

The 5 minute time limit can be a PITA.

The problem is that when I unzip it, I don't get an md5 file, I get an "image" file of some sort.

Update: OK... have gone through the guide which went brilliantly.
Now, do I just boot this thing into recovery and flash the CM10.1?
Is there anything I've overlooked? Anything else I need to do?
And do I do the factory reset/wipe dalvik and the rest before, or after?
I presume I have to use ezlock to unlock the bootloader again after this, right?
No, you still need to unlock bootloader and backup your IMEI. You may want to do quite a bit of reading, CM 10 is not as easy to fix some of the potential problems that you could possibly encounter.
I am not hating on them, but don't think it is as simple as one of the TW ROMS.

When I try this method to back up the IMEI it doesn't do anything after entering the *#7284# and if I hit the phone, it just sends me to a Verizon intercept operator.
The only reason I'm trying to get into a 4.2.1 ROM again was this:

Just flash cm10.1 and fix your mobile settings. CDMA subscription > ruim/sim and toggle airplane mode.
This isn't the first time someone has had this problem.

4.1.1 doesn't have this capability, and up to now, I haven't seen any other way to address the original issue.
Of you followed the guide I linked you are unlocked with cwm so boot into recovery wipe caches and reset and flash cm10.1 and gapps. First verify you are unlocked

OK, using EZLock I unlocked it successfully, but the status in EZLock is still listed as "unknown."
