I think I may have finally done it. I flashed the latest slim rom (vers 6) today, booted into the ROM and set it up. No problems. Then I flashed faux mainline kernel. I followed the instructions for the kernel install, and hit reboot as last step. The phone shut off and did not reboot. I am now unable to turn on, boot into recovery, or download mode. When I attempt to connect to the PC to try and ODIN back to stock, the phone will not connect to the PC. I have the latest Samsung drivers installed and have connected to my PC previously with no problems. I know I downloaded and installed the right version for my phone, I have flashed kernels many times before.
Am I screwed now? I have insurance on the phone, but really would like to get the phone back from the grave if at all possible. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of the kernel ... Got a link to it???

Going through the history of my browser, it looks like I did a bone head and flashed a Nexus 4 kernel to my VZ GS3. Am I screwed?
Possibly ... Your kernel tells your phone what to do and how to do it ... If you can't get Odin to connect there's a big issues but I've never flashed a wrong kernel so research around a bit for more info ... You can't get into download mode or recovery mode??

Might need to either send it in for JTAG or spend the money to get the insurance replacement

Check to see if you've lost your imei/eri. Your imei should be the number under your battery and your eri should be 5. If they aren't that then you need to restore them if you haven't backed them up.

Checked all those #s. They r fine. The only thing that looks different is the PRL#. It says 1. I swear it had more numbers than that last time I checked.

You may have to Odin all the way back and reprovision your phone. I haven't done it but I may because right now my Google play only works on a few roms and its bugging the mess out of me. My S3 was rooted and unlocked when I got it so I've never had to Odin before but I'm so sick of Google play store no connection on certain roms.

I got the same problem. Installed latest carbon rom i cannot make any phone calls. Tried to activate the phone again, but that did not work. Tried to restore from old backups going back several months ago, no luck. Any help would be nice!

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. I posted yesterday with same problem.
Questions: (trying to trouble shoot)
1 - which version of CarbonRom were you guys running?
2 - and which Recovery were you using? If TWRP, did you happen to update to 2.6.3.0 recently?
What happened to me: running carbonrom 20130913. Updated to twrp 2.6.3.0 (from 2600) >> boinked voice, but my data and text works.
What did not work: nandroid all my backups (synergy, beanstown, cleanrom) = did not solve problem. clean wipe/format and re-install (cleanrom/synergy) = no dice.
What worked:
1 - Odin back to stock (unroot, locked the bootloader) -- refer to the first thread in this forum for how-to.
2 - Took all of the OTA updates by verizon all the way to most recent update (I think 5 total, plus or minus...).
3 - Go to your phone's setting and do a factory reset.
4 - ...this, thankfully, fixed the problem.
Notes: After my first bork and restore. I rooted and unlocked again. Updated twrp to 2.6.3.0 again, and reinstalled CarbonRom 20130911 (which worked fine for me before) --> same problem again.
...I just restored my phone for 2nd time using method above. Tedious as heck, but it worked.
...not sure if this is CarbonRom or TWRP related.....
I am having this same issue as well after attempting to flash Carbon Rom. Did the method listed above resolve the issue for anyone?
...played around some more -- and borked it a few more times....
it's not the TWRP 2.6.3.0. It's the carbonrom 4.3 JB --> issue being discussed in the carbonrom thread as well
I reverted back to carbon rom 4.2.2 and no problems
I gave up and called in the heavies. Got a new phone on the way. Thanks for all help. Will definitely fix this problem the next time it arises using this info though..:laugh:

Next time you should really try to troubleshoot. If you call in a warranty replacement every time something you flash borks something on your phone, then they're gonna start to wonder what the hell you're doing. Plus, it's good to have some kind of experience and the ability to fix your phone if needed.
I have fixed my phone many times where I have messed it up. This time unfortunately I didn't have the patience. But I will take heed to your advice and work harder to find the solution.

There's always a fix as long as you can get into download mode or recovery. I had lost my imei flashing Carbon 4.3. All I had to do was restore my imei flashing the zip that the synergy backup made and bam I could make and receive calls again. But that was after I switched Roms. Probably ROM related becuasr I am using TWRP 2.5.

Can I have the link you used to flash back to stock .. I am in the same boat
Just my opinion and .02. If you don't know how to restore your phone from this state or to use Odin then you shouldn't be flashing Roms and hacking it.

Not to sound harsh, but I know from experience how easy it can be to miss one little step in flashing or to encounter an unforseen problem. If you hack your phone and flash Roms for very long, the risk of doing this rises because we get so comfortable we make silly, stupid mistakes like missing one step or maybe we accidentally wipe our sd card which has our ROM on it. Also if you flash nightlies the chances go up even further that something will go wrong.

But on a more positive side, this forum is awesome because of the great developers and contributors willing to help whenever you are having problems. I personally have greatly benefited from the awesome support.

I'm not dev enough to know if it will work since you're running a 4.3 rom but you could try pulling the apk from another rom and see if it works.

Yes but therein lies the problem. I didn't pull the apk from the stock rom before I rooted and switched. I need a download link to someone who has uploaded but all I can find is the s4 version.

If anyone else is wondering the same thing, I just found out you cannot have s voice on slim bean or any rom not based on touchwiz

I found this a while back, ive tried it a few times, worked back then, honestly dont know if it still does. If you guys like it, create another link to it somewhere, because I will probably be taking it off my Dropbox after a week or so.

I just tried it, it works still, I just said hello to it, nothing big. However, after I installed it, I opened it, was in the "accept terms" activity, then pressed home. It forced closed when I returned to it. If that happens, clear the app data and open it again, but go through the full accepting prompt before you pause the app.
Just a heads up

A few days ago I noticed I lost 4G. I still have 3G. Looked at APNs, mobile settings...look ok. I'm on clean rom 8. Any ideas on how to fix it?
1) ur username pretty badass lol
2)ur fone set to global and ruim/sim
3) if those are good. Try changing from global to lte/cdma/evdo. Reboot to see wat u get. Then change back to global reboot.
Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk
Tried all that. Nothing works. Could it be a sim card issue?
Are u on the 4.3OTA? If not i suggest back to stock (ics) then if still no work then get new sim.. If u go to corporate store they give u one for fee.

I just got a warranty replacement same verizon galaxy s3 sch-I535 phone. My old phone had no problem connecting to the wifi it was not rooted either. I did take it to the verizon store where it connected to their wifi. I've tried a factory reset, resetting the router and modem, turned off the auto switch and at this point i'm all out of ideas. Any ideas on what else i could try?
What os is it? Can other devices connect to your home Wi-Fi?

You don't have an mac address whitelist on your router do you? I ran into the same headscratcher because I had a new mac address.
Also, look at dhcp reservations. If there's one for your old device then remove it. If that's not the problem try power cycling the router.

thanks man removed my old phone from dchp works now
haha well now i get an unstable wifi connection no matter where i am in the house
There's a thread going on that issue. Try clearing your cache and power cycling your router and modem. Some report that as a fix.
