Hi,
I have a Google Nexus S phone with Sprint. I was playing with QPST and CDMA workshop and for some reason the SMS messaging and data aren't working anymore. Phone calling does work well though.
Unfortunately, I didn't save the settings for my phone before using CDMA workshop. I called sprint but they were not able to help.
Please help! :\
I'd try full factory wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Then I'd flash whatever rom I was using before and keep my fingers crossed when I reboot that everything is fixed. Then I'd keep my fingers out of the software you were futzing around with so it doesn't happen again. I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm saying what I'd try.

None of the things you've suggested affect the Radio (qpst/epst) settings.
Get a flashable zip of the latest OTA update, unzip it, and fastboot flash the radio.img. Either that or, if you're on the stock rom, dial *#*#72786#*#*, enter your MSL, and clear the settings (it factory resets/re-activates your phone's radio without wiping any data.)
You probably messed with the NV settings..
Flash back to stock
Go into setting and do a system update so sprint can reconfigure your setting ota

Bradart, I had the stock ROM, I dialed that number and now I can't even make/receive phone calls.
lilgrass71, yes I was testing something with NV items. I had a friend telling me his settings (but unfortunately he's on Verizon). I tried them on my phone and now I can't even connect to sprint network! it keeps searching for network and never finds anything. With this I can't even connect to sprint and update my profile or do anything! :\
Is there anything I can do to restore EVERYTHING (NV items, etc) to factory setting? the power-volume thing and privacy->restore-to-factory settings aren't working...
I'd greatly appreciate your help!
You have to go back to stock.... I mean stock stock by running the exe from Samsung

Then you can update profile one the phone is set up... But that's only of you didn't mess with any meid or pesn settings in qpst and qxdm.... That'll be illegal Tsk tsk....haha

Trying to help a friend who lost his IMEI (showed as 0), I restored it with the QPST method successfully. All the numbers are there and the IMEI is correct, but it still doesn't have data. I tried calling the number in the older efs backup thread to reprovision, and it didn't seem to do anything, but while I was messing around with it the icon popped up and I had one bar of 4G, but it disappeared after a few seconds. I'm out of ideas and I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

If on stock (root66 sounds) dial: *2767*3855#
Back up anything you may want on the internal storage before doing so. Should fix it if it's fixable.
This ^^^^.
I had lost mine also and followed the same instructions, got it all back, but no data return. You need to reprovision your phone by following the key sequence. I think you need to be stock to do it too (could be wrong). After doing that, all my stuff returned to 100% fully functional.
You definitely need to be on stock for it, though? What's it do specifically? I never outright lost my IMEI, but I did have a problem where data would intermittently cut out and it didn't display a phone number in the system info.
After a wipe and install it seemed to be okay, but now I'm without data. Phone number and all the other numbers are there, though. If I dialed that on CM10, what could I expect?

I already tried that, it didn't work. I just tried it again and it still didn't work, but I left it locked for a while and when I unlocked it, the 4G icon was there for a few seconds, and then went back to no signal and it hasn't come back.

Hmm if that doesn't work I'm not sure what else there is. Maybe a new SIM or phone, all I can think of
a new sim is needed, or you just have a data-bricked phone if that wont work... sorry bud
I'm not sure what it's doing, but I don't think it's unrecoverable. If I leave it for a while, when I unlock it I'll have a bit of 4G signal, then it disappears after a few seconds. I was able to use the browser while it had signal, but when I try to make a call it says "Mobile network unavailable." I did receive a few texts, I'll test sending them. Under Settings>About device>Status, all the numbers are there and everything looks normal except these:
Network - Searching for Service
Mobile network type - Unknown:0
Service state - Out of service
Mobile network state - Disconnected
Thanks for the help so far.

On mine, I restored to the Nandroid backup I made of the stock rom before switching and dialed the number mentioned before. That brought it back to out-of-the-box stock. Set it up, tested data, rooted, unlocked bootloader, installed CM10, tested data, restored apps, tested data, made another Nandroid backup, restored system apps and preferences, and everything's fine now.
My problem was really similar to that one, too. It started when the phone wasn't coming on when I pressed the home or power buttons, and after a battery pull it showed the phone number as "Unknown." A wipe and reinstall of CM10 showed all the correct numbers in the right places and seemed to fix it all, but data was back out in time. That was how it was every time I reinstalled that way; it'd work for a bit, then stop until I reinstalled again. Restoring my IMEI backup as a "just in case" hadn't helped either. Getting everything right again was arduous, but worth it.
Alright my dad has got a similar problem. He lost his IMEI before, we managed to get it restored and data working and all that good stuff. Well today he had to fly to Denver and put the phone into airplane mode, well when he came out of airplane mode it was stuck on roaming mode, and network is "Unknown" his IMEI, phone number, and all those numbers are correct but hes still stuck in roaming. We tried pulling the sim card, and going back to a root66 backup and then reprovisioning the phone. Any other ideas? Should he go back to complete 100% unrooted stock and then reprovision? Any help would be great
I've had the problem come back for me, so disregard my earlier post. I'm back on stock now with no data issues so far, so I'm going to sit on that for a bit to see if the problem is definitely with CM. It's been gradual every time I've fixed it; last time I lost LTE before 3G.

Restored a Nandroid. LTE isn't working though, so I may dial *2767*3855# to go back to full stock and see if that fixes it. Currently 3G is still okay.
A question...
Those losing their IMEI numbers... Is this happening on the locked bootloader? Unlocked bootloader? Both?
I've been digging through the forums trying to ferret out a pattern, but it's not presenting itself to me. Maybe someone else has seen the pattern?
I can't post in the developer forum because of my post limit.
I know this question has been asked before but i admit i don't understand the responses.
I am using Synergy Rom r257 and my mobile data just turned off overnight. I haven't been able to get it back. My IMEI and ERI are still ok an calls come in and go just fine. But under my phone status i have no IP address and i made sure that CMDA/LTE have been checked off.
I have tried to toggle data and airplane mode, I also flashed r257 again. I did not use TB to restore my files after installation and did it all manually.
It was working fine for a few days. I am not sure if this matters but i have noticed since i installed that whenever I hung up the from a phone call it would say no sim on the call screen.
any advice would be appreciated
updating the baseband got me on 3g. baseband vrblk3.
but my network type under settings still says unknown.

I'd like to say first.
That I bought my phone off Craig's list already rooted running taste of bean (cool story, I know)
First thing I did was flash miui ROM. And had 4g. A few hours later I noticed I had no 4g? So I'm texting the dude about it and he is clueless then I notice I lose texting.
I nandroid back uped into whatever he had made (stock rooted)
And it claimed I was in roaming.
(No data, text, call)
Edit : this method may work for your purpose.

Only fix was for me to Odin stock unrooted and dial the factory reset number. I am terribly sorry as I forget the number off the top of my head. *27 something
Afterwards my phone was perfect and went on rooting
I know a lot of this seems tedious, but I'm a noob and this is the best answer I have.
Hit the thanks if I pointed you in the right direction.

This happens every time I flash a JB ROM.
Everything else seems to work fine.
But...
As soon as I disable wifi, my mobile data greys out and I have no internet connection. If I re-enable wifi, my mobile data comes back.
If I am out of wifi range, mobile data greys out and no internet connection.
When mobile data works....it works.
Looking at my APN settings shows no APN's at all. It will let me populate a new APN, but when I press "save" it just goes away and leaves nothing. I've tried rebooting after also.
My IMEI information shows up in the settings screen. Not jibberish.
Flashing back to stock restores my mobile data fine.
Mobile data works fine when I upgrade to ICS from GB before attempting JB.
The phone reacts to flashing exactly as the instructions indicate.
This has happened every time I try to go from ICS to JB.
I tried completely wiping (int sd and all)my phone before flashing (over and over again) and I'm following andros instructions fully.
While on JB, could using Odin to restore an efs backup I made while on GB help this? Is it possible to just upload the backup without returning to stock? I tried to restore the efs backup with Root Explorer but it didn't fix anything obviously. And I can't seem to even connect fully using EFS Pro (won't see com ports on the Qualcomm screen). Nitrality is an app that claims to backup/restore the efs folder but I haven't tried restoring one yet.
I'm not even sure the problem lies within the efs folder.
Ive gone through this a million times and it is the same no matter what I do or "try". It is the same for me with any JB ROM.
Searching the forum has gotten me this far, but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I refuse to accept failure.

idk..this may sound silly but if you want to try:
1. go back to stock gb
2. take out sd card
3. factory reset
4. cm9 flash twice..run it to see it imei and data is intact. then boot into cwm. factory reset
5. flash a 4.1.1 build..check imei and mobile data.
6. then flash 4.2.1 build
...disclosure: i'm guessing

I first re-downloaded all my ROM's and GAPPs on the computer.
I've been able to keep mobile data all the way to 4.1.2.(Paranoid) But after that it's as I described:
IMEI shows up and is correct.
No APN's listed and can't save a new APN.
"Mobile Data Status" shows disconnected.
If wifi is on and connected, mobile data "works" fine, but still shows no APN's and disconnected in settings as above.
Resetting to default APN says it completed, but nothing's there. I tried rebooting after and checking.
Wanna hear something really strange...
Since I knew I was going to have to go back to stock once again, I decided to step back to 4.1.2 just to see what would happen.
4.1.2 installed fine and my mobile data was once again working correctly.
Still working on it.

very odd...I guess your phone doesn't like 4.2.1.
Good luck with it, though.
Sounded like you've pin-pointed the problem to a change from the 4.1.2 to 4.2.1.
Im losing it all after i went back to stock gb 2.3.6

Thanks but nope.
This happens every time even when starting fresh from stock.
I am not altering the ROM itself before flashing in any way.
Immediately after flashing a 4.2.+ from 4.1.2 the APN's are not appearing. But my IMEI info is.
But if I go back to 4.1, the APN's are there so I'm thinking the APN's aren't being deleted during the flash?
In the process of flashing, I've made sure all the ROM's "worked" and the APN's were there before stepping to the next one.
I feel like I'm insane.
Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Can anyone tell me what controls the migration of the APN info when flashing from 4.1 to 4.2?
Also, what controls the addition of new APN's and where are they saved?
Is there any place I can look within the ROM or kernel to help see if the APN info is really missing.
Personally, I think the APN info is there, but something is not installing completely when flashing.

I had to flash a different modem. Not sure why, but it fixed my problem. What I did was:
1. Downloaded a few different modems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31097259
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Select to Install zip from SD card.
4. Locate one of the modem. (In the folder).
5. Flash the modem.
6. Clear cache and dalvik cache.
7. I selected to fix permissions. Probably don't have to do this. But I did.
8. Reboot and test. If it doesn't work, flash another modem and try again.
If no modem works, then its probably not the modem. Hopefully you removed the SD card when flashing from ICS to JB. And hopefully your IMEI # is showing and correct.
It goes quick. I hope this works for you. If you need more detailed instructions, just let me know.

My guess is when you NV restored you messed something up that's responsible for your data that isn't imei related.
I really have no idea where to even start with that, and I saw no reference to NV restore in that post anywhere. If you made an IMEI backup before all this happened, restoring that might restore all of your NV data restoring your text and data calls. I would guess you could theoretically fix it with qpst, but I really have no idea.
You can try to odin back to an ics rom and reprovision the phone, that could rewrite your NV data.

Im having the exact same problem. Reflashed it to stock and took it in to VZW to see if they could replace or fix, but they don't have any authority to do that and if I send it in, the techs might determine that I changed the "root", thus voiding my warranty.
My current work-around fix is to use my google voice number and Groove IP to make calls

My guess is that is what happened to my cell. Called Verizon, and they were unable to do anything to fix this and sent me a replacement S3 that I just received today. I unrooted and reset my flash counter yesterday on my old S3 so I can send it back.
Unless you made a backup of your nvram before you did the NV rebuild, my guess is you are probably going to have to replace your S3 like I just had did to since it made and screwed up some network settings on your cell.
I did the same thing to my wife's phone last night (oops) now she can't make any calls today.
anyone find a fix yet?
edit: 1st - I know the info now appears to have been removed from that post. I actually did the rebuild from memory as i read it a week or so ago.
Everything worked, IMEI intact except she couldn't make calls.
So right after it was found i did a nvbackup on both our phones.
decided to try the restore options and see if that helped.
sure enough downloaded term, su - reboot nvrestore and the phone sat at the sgs3 boot screen.
hmmm
forced it into recovery, wiped, reloaded. everything is working fine now.
The reason i did this is because her GPS locking was poor. and i had previously did the tighten the screws trick and thought it couldn't be that.
well after everything was working, GPS still didn't. I gave all the screws a turn and wouldn't you know - GPS locked right away.. *sigh*
sooo the lessons for others is
1st don't do the nvrebuild
2nd for GPS locking issues try your screws 1st
3rd if you are in this mess AND you did an nvbackup early on. nvrestore should get you going again
As soon as I start having GPS issues I call Verizon and give them hell because I have already replaced 2 phones because of GPS issues. Luckily this last phone has been spot on. I never would reset the nv.

I had the same problem just hooked it back up to my computer and found some software online and restored my nv now works fine!

What software did you use?
(I already replaced my phone because I didn't backup my nvram, but just curious)
No problem
