[FIX] No service after flash fix

If you don't have service after flashing a Jelly Bean ROM or Justin's GAPPS follow these simple instructions.
1. Go to the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#*
2. Click on "Phone Information"
3. You should notice almost towards the bottom radio settings, Make sure the radio is on and change the settings from WCDMA to GSM (auto)
4. Exit out of the screen by pressing the back button
5. Reset the phone and you will have service.
If your phone keeps reverting to WCDMA follow these directions
1. Use GTG's Ultimate Unbrick here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
2. When you are reverted to stock rom, use Super 1 Click to root. which can be found here http://shortfuse.org/ Restart phone.
3. Follow these instructions to get 3e then clockwork Recovery on your phone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881 PM me if you need Root Explorer APK
4. Boot into recovery. FULL WIPE DATA DALVIK EVERYTHING
5. Flash ICS Rom of your choice. I recommend Paranoid Android which you can find here. http://d-h.st/NMp don't bother with GAPPS for now
6. Boot up android and reboot into recovery FULL WIPE DATA DALVIK EVERYTHING
7. Flash the Jelly Bean ROM of your choice. I recommend Unofficial CM10 8/31 - Butter - MTD which can be found here http://d-h.st/MZ9 Don't bother with Kernel or GAPPS for now
8. If you have a boot loop that's normal, pull out the battery, re flash then reboot into android
9. Once the device is booted, make sure you have a strong signal and can make phone calls. THEN reboot into recovery
10. Flash OC Kernel and GAPPS of your choice. MAKE SURE to use this kernel http://d-h.st/mcN if you used Unofficial CM10 8/31 - Butter - MTD. I recommend Justin's GAPPS which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292
11. Reboot and viola! You should have service for ever and ever.
This no service problem is caused by your IMEI getting wiped when you flash straight from stock to jelly bean.

Then its a deeper problem...flashing back to stock won't break your SIM, atleast it shouldn't and I've never heard of it happening
What program did you use? Odin or heimdall? If it was Odin did you check the box for clear efs, if you did check the box that may be the problem...
Go to settings, then about phone/status and look for your imei...is it their or is it blank/or weird symbols?

Just thought I'd mention this, I put my sim card in 2 other phones and still wasn't able to text. Obviously, yesterday, I had texting aha. I tried going to stock then to ICS then to jb, but without any success. Could it be something with my sim card?

I followed every step exactly. still no IMEI.. =/

Ok guess i need help i followed both steps to fix this right now the phone is back on 2.3.6 with cwm and root has iemi and all still drops signal,i have changed the wcdma to gsm still the same,I went from ics also to jb had iemi and would still lose signal any help?

I already started a thread about this subject. Personally I've been able to find that my problem isn't with flashing "JB", but with stepping up from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1. I'll bet you guys are having the same problem.

HELP my infuse cant find the network

bars are right up on the signal indicator. but i cant make or recieve calls. in the "status" it says "phone number...unknown" "network...unknown" "service state...unknown" "mobile network state...disconnected"
phone worked great yesterday but this morning when i woke up i heard the couple short vibrations that u get when there is an error. heard these a couple times, took out battery and rebooted. now it cant find the network. tried my sim in a captivate and it works fine. please help

Out shopping or I would give links. Sounds like a missing IMEI. Do a search but I am pretty sure reflashing might help. Which ROM are you on? Try flashing Scott's Unofficial CM10. If that doesn't work, you will probably have to go back to stock. Once you get it, do an EFS backup using Zenarcade's toolkit. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

it's stock froyo 2.2. my phone is rooted but i never had the balls to flash a custom ROM. i tried a factory reset but that didnt solve the problem. I even tried upgrading with kies mini but i keep getting a msg saying that it cannot be upgraded. i bought this phone used from the states and i am from trinidad. it worked great for a year and now this problem. i dont really have much experience with flashing and rooting etc.
i would really need a step by step guide to fix this problem.

Check and see if your IMEI is still intact. Go to Settings, About Phone, Status and scroll down and locate the IMEI line, it SHOULD NOT be all zero's. If it is, you've lost it in the flashing of your ROM.

Well I just Odin'd back to stock, re-rooted and flashed synergy. Again, no texting or calling ability, yet I still have data. I'm outdoors in the middle of the city, so there's no reason it shouldn't be working.. I decided to call Verizon as well just to see, and they can't figure out what's going on either. The SIM card shouldn't be bad if I'm getting full 4G, right? Maybe I'll run down and pick up a new one to try.

Thanks for taking the time to post a possible fix

Most of the smali codes are the same in both ROMs but some resource IDs are slightly different (search for 0x1040***), that might be the reason why some function are not working.

Minor/Major Issue
On CR6 R2, clean install, no other mods at the time - this broke MMS. SMS worked fine but couldn't send a picture (alert was "invalid destination address"). Dirty flashed CR6 R2 over the top and that cleared MMS up so I figured I'd try again, no joy. Same issue. I also had the same problem as the others with Global Roaming data issue. Too bad, looked very, very cool..

Exact same issues here. This is the last mod I will ever need on my CR6r2 (AOSP theme 1.9), as I surprisingly found it quite useful when I was on GalaxyMOD and JellyBeans build 9.

[Q] ERI/IMEI/Google Play Issues after Flash

I am a Crack Flasher. I've been doing it since the Fascinate. Very experienced. I recently jacked up my phone which obscured my ERI/IMEI/Google Play connection. I was able to manually re-program the IMEI using QPST....... Before, I re-flashed stock MF1. I took it to Verizon and they were skeptical and unhelpful. They said it seemed as if I altered the OS. They had no proof and wouldn't honor the warranty. Play wont work unless a previous OS (before MF1) is installed(?). I get Connection Error. I TRIED EVERYTHING!
I followed the flash to a T.
Not sure which Rom is the culprit.
maybe TK 2.5
ERI Fix????????

Before you go accusing roms of causing your problems, maybe you should read up on how people actually lose their imei and eri in the first place. A simple search for "imei" or "eri" would've accomplished this.
If you did that, you would have been directed to a plethora of threads describing that the s3 can drop their imei randomly even without a flash being a culprit.
Next time you start flashing anything, read up on the device stickies so you know what you're doing and how to fix most problems that come up.
Sorry for the long post, I just can't stand it when people bash a rom for no reason. It wasn't that roms fault for this issue.

Lol!!!! Glad to hear. I did find your posts useful. I'm still exploring and learning a certain "unmentionable" program those posts pointed me towards. I really appreciate the help! It's not back yet, but I'll figure the program out quickly. A lot of info on it out there.

I am a Crack Flasher. I've been doing it since the Fascinate. Very experienced. I recently jacked up my phone which obscured my ERI/IMEI/Google Play connection. I was able to manually re-program the IMEI using QPST....... Before, I re-flashed stock MF1. I took it to Verizon and they were skeptical and unhelpful. They said it seemed as if I altered the OS. They had no proof and wouldn't honor the warranty. Play wont work unless a previous OS (before MF1) is installed(?). I get Connection Error. I TRIED EVERYTHING!
I followed the flash to a T.
Not sure which Rom is the culprit.
maybe TK 2.5
ERI Fix????????

There's A LOT of this happening with our phones according to the forums this last 2 months.....I'm still out ERI and Play only works on ICS.....no JB roms. Very strange.....but, I love a challenge and these forums and all of the amazing info I'm finding thanks to all the intelligent folk. Verizon is out as far as a replacement. They said I must have tampered with it....which, I did. Whats the status of your ERI/IMEI info? Hopefully solved soon.....I'm driving my wife nuts trying to fix it.

How'd you guys fix the eri? I used QPST for the IMEI but now my debugging won't activate, whether on stock or an AOSP. I need it to.use another program that I can't mention.

Have you tried downgrading your modem before trying revskills? When I used the repair utility it wouldn't connect my phone until I downgraded my modem. Just a thought.

I'm in the same boat somewhat. My play store only works on certain roms now and I still can't figure out why.
