[Q] vzw s3 stuck in roaming! help - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I flashed a MIUI rom onto my phone and now it is stuck in roaming. I cant send any texts, connect to my data, or call. To try to fix it I wiped my cache and did a reset. Also I restored to previous roms (jellybeans and cyanogenmod 10), but im still roaming. I dont have a clue what to do. Please help! thanks

Check to make sure your CDMA subscription is set to ruim/sim and not nv. Also double check your imei.

that was network mode.
in the area you found that.. look for cdma subscription. should be 2 options lower.
the options should be ruim/sim or nv.
if thats set to nv.. you'll be stuck in roaming.

Lost 3g and 4g

Since I flashed the new gingerbread I lost my 3g and 4g, I only have edge. I replaced my Sim card thinking that would be the reason.
Anyone else have this problem and is there a way to fix it?

Have you tried flashing a different modem file yet?
I flashed the kb5 but going to have to wait till I get to town to try it out, no service where I live only wifi.

Grab the all_modems_cwm.7z file and use 7zip to extract all the modems onto your SD card, that way you can swap them out to see which one works best for you.
You can also go into settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Network mode.
Make sure you are on GSM/WCDMA (auto mode), if not try WCDMA only mode, which is 4G.

CleanROM 2.1 BIG ISSUE!

I have a problem that I was not able to find anywhere here. I am not able to get 4g at all even in areas I know I get 4g in. I have tried changing the mobile networks, flashing the newest radios, reinstalling Rom 3 times and have not been able to fix it. Any ideas anyone?

It's your APN settings I bet, what network are you on?

Right now I am on EHRPD - Verizon Wireless, but I have tried changing it to LTE - Verizon Wireless. After about a minute it seems to change back by itself because when I check it, it is back at EHRPD. Ideas?
APN is VZWINTERNET for both EHRPD and LTE and that seems weird to me.
Did you flash a PRL?

PRL is Preferred Roaming List. Its a file that tells your device which towers to connect to.

Ah I see, but I haven't flashed any of those. I've read in other threads that there's no reason to change from Verizon's rpl. Do you think differently?

Fixed*
I was able to fix* my problem
*I had to factory reset the phone from within the OS so I lost root and possibly unlocked bootloader. Gonna go do that again and try the ROM again.

A factory wipe should not relock the bootloader.

Yea I just ran the unlock app and it showed as unlocked. I apparently am still rooted as well. I thought I would have to root for sure. Hopefully now any custom ROMS I install will show 4G.
Any time you do a factory wipe, all you do is delete all the data and settings, but it doesn't touch the kernel or bootloader, so if you have a custom rooted ROM and you factory reset, you will still start up into a rooted custom ROM, but with all blank settings/apps etc...

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] my roaming issue- please tell me what prl you have

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.

verizon s3 metropcs mms fix

this is to fix mms messaging on metropcs flashed verizon galaxy s3. place zip on sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash the zip then reboot. once phone boots up go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, access point names. you will see lte-verizon internet apn click on it to activate apn then reboot. once booted back up send yourself a mms message, it may hang on sending/pending if so turn on airplane mode, then turn off airplane mode and all should be good. this was tested on 4.1.2 with verizon sim in the phone. with non-verizon sim or no sim in had to use apn manager to activate apn
extremely huge thanks to mrctony for being so awesome to mail me a test s3 to develope this fix u rock man
Update: now added 4.3 test zip. The 4.3 zip is for DEODEX ROM ONLY pls post results.

Yeah, it might be something with CM11 then, it doesn't happen all the time but I get it quite often since CM11.
I also get 3g data drops, and I have to restart in order to get it again,I hope CM11 fix that soon.
Thanks for your response.

Hey everyone, I have flashed many Sprint variants to MetroPCS but never a Verizon. Is the process the same? Does the SIM slot need to be unlocked?

Verizon phones usually are factory unlocked but that doesn't matter for flashing it that only matters if u want to put it on metropcs gsm. As for flashing its basically the same but verizon u will prob have to enable hidden menu and when u flash connect to it send spc and set it to nv only then reboot then reconnect write prl and flash as normal
