Hello, I am sorry if someone has made a thread like this I just have looked everywhere and not finding anything. I have installed I think three roms, all of them not having working WiFi. Everything else works flawlessly and i wish I could use it instead of the Software verizon has provided us with. I am using Safestrap, I have tried reflashing the roms several times, tried to flash the modem [I think this is only cell signal but it was worth a shot]. Does anyone have a solution here? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Download the VRUCML1 kernel modules from the Safestrap thread and flash them in recovery after flashing a rom. You need to flash these each time you flash a custom 4 3 the in order to have working wifi.

Hi,
I apologize in advance for any "noobish" questions, but I'm new to rooting... and if a solution to my issue is out there, please point me in the right direction - I've seen many people having different approaches to this type of issue, therefore I would like some help getting on the right track
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I747M which I have successfully rooted ( I think! ) and installed a custom recovery, but I am still encountering issues flashing custom ROMs...
To get in details to what I did ( chronological order )
- I followed all steps given in this site - http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
( looked simple enough in comparison to other processes I've found )
All went has planned until I had to install a custom ROM - CM10 wouldn't install at all and LiquidSmooth would install, but multiple apps wouldn't work properly.
Lucky me, I had done a backup of my current ROM before flashing a custom ROM, therefore I was able of going back to the Rogers ROM.
I assumed the issue would be due to the CWM version not being compatible with CM10 ( and maybe that ws the case with Liquid ) so I ended up installing GooManager and changing my Recovery Mod to TWRP. The issue of not being able of flashing custom ROMs persisted.
So I ended up following what Mr. Robinson posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
-With Odin I flashed my phone with root66_RWC_I747MVLDLK4.tar.md5
-after reboot GooManager was still installed ( obvious ) so I attempted multiple times to flash custom ROMs without success.
I have removed my external SD card, rebooted and removed battery, etc.
I have been getting in most cases "Status 7" as a error message when trying to flash custom ROMs.
I have SU installed, I have done the "fix permissions",...
What am I doing wrong and/or what am I missing in this process to be able of flashing custom ROMs?
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!!
I've also noticed that I have multiple "0" folders in the SD card. For my understanding this is due to trying to install a 4.2 with an old CWM version...
Is it possible that this is what initiated the whole issue?...
So, after searching for a bit I resolved all my issues.. I'm going to post what I did and my current setup in hopes to help other people who have been having trouble getting their Canadian galaxy S3 rolling with a custom ROM. This should apply to any i747m devices, but I have the Rogers one...
For my understanding the beginning of my issues was flashing an old version of CWM. Try to always flash the latest version of CWM or TWRP. I'm currently using the TWRP 4.3.3 WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.
I then flashed AOKP on JB 4.2.1. My phone has been working perfectly since then (besides for some minor known bugs) - make sure to do all the wipes advised on any ROM instructions and you should be fine. You will also need to change the Internet provider settings to reflect your speed and provider.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting a follow-up on how you solved your issue. I'm looking into rooting and custom-rom-ing my Koodo GS3 and so many threads are started and then abandoned. So cheers to you good-guy OP!

Something else. Consider changing your custom recovery from d2can to d2att. The number of ROMs out there for d2att is way higher that d2can ROMs.
Good luck!

Headphone socket issue
There is no sound coming out from the headphones when i insert them....and when i unplug the sound on the speaker doesnt work too..It's NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE cuz i checked that it worked perfectly on the stock rom...but when i flash Roms it doesn't work at all...
PLS HELP!!!!
I have noticed a couple of similar threads, but they're older. Pl let me know if a thread is available for my issue: I have flashed multiple roms on my VGS3 for months. Now I can't install a custom rom. I've flashed the stock root update, I've tried CWM, CWM Touch and TWRP, and I am unable to flash a rom that I want. I have tried six different ones, all newer roms updated within the last 30 days. It starts to read the update then it just stops and says "failed" or sometimes I get the unable to install system 7 prompt. Either way it's driving me crazy. I'm used to having the rom of my choice on my phone (this is your guys' fault LOL) and I'm stuck with the stock rom. I have checked, I'm rooted. I can use EZ Recovery and EZ Bootloader with no problems, I can flash different recoveries. I've heard there are other recoveries but I'm not familiar with them. Thanks y'all.
I would Odin back to stock and then root and flash clean. I have never had any problems like you are having. Had some issues flashing with twrp once but I flashed cwm and never had an issue since.

I actually just did that this morning. Could it be an SD card thing? Should I maybe reformat? I'm looking at older threads and that come up a time or two.
Thanks tho, appreciate it. Like I said, never had any problems until two weeks ago.
I have searched for the answer to this question or an explanation but have yet to find one. I have just started installing ROMS to my phone (SCH-i535) Verizon Galaxy S3 and on every ROM except one ( I think it was AOKP) the camera will not work. I get either a Warning "Camera Failed" or "Could't Connect to the Camera" message. I have tried Multiple ROMS including Jelly Beans, Plasma, Hyperdrive, and a few others. I am able to flash back to a backup I made with the stock ROM and the camera works fine. I have also tried different kernels, different boot recovery's, clearing cache and different versions of these ROMS. I havent seen the same exact issue posted. Any help would be appreciated I would like to be able to use these ROMS but not if I cant use the camera. Also no third party apps have access to the camera either, any torch fails also, sometimes crashing the phone.
csn you screen shot the problem, I may be able,. to help

Not the best quality since i had to take it with my wifes phone, i coudnt take a screenshot.
You can fix the issue by updating your Modem/RPM/TZ/SBL with the flashable zip provided by invisiblek (you can find the link in the sticky rollup thread), and updating your kernel.
Hope that helps
That firmware flash is for version VRBMF1, I am currently using VRBLMD3. What will happen if I flash the wrong firmware. I am just not sure If its ok to flash different versions. Sorry if that's a stupid question
This issue has been reported everywhere it's just a matter of looking,
Anyways it's safe to flash mf1 firmware and you'll be fine.

Well it took 3 different firmwares but it worked, Much thanks to you for the help. Now I can play with the roms and find one I like without trying to deal with the stupid camera
My phone came with 4.4, I rooted using iO and got my recovery using the Rec app. If I flash a stock rooted 4.4 rom (pretty pointless really) my data works fine. If I flash a rom such as that Power User one or AOSP based roms, I have no data. If I check the APN its intact and correct but nothing works except talk and text.
Ive done a full wipe before installing these roms.
Okay this is the same situation I'm having except my data drops at the MOST inconvenient times! My phone was OTA updated to 20k when I got it so it's safe to say I'm on the most recent modem, and also rooted the same way with locked bootloader. I've tried the "KitKat AOSP" modem and get the data drops also.
Can someone please shed some light on this situation?

Can someone please help me out with an issue I am having...?
I can't seem to get Service after installing an AOSP ROM. I have been messing around with this issue for several days now. When I install a 'NON AOSP' ROM such as 'the 'MOAR ROM' it works fine, but then I go to in recovery (Newest TWRP or Newest Philz Touch) and do all of the required 'Wipes' then Install an AOSP ROM like 'Fusion', 'PAC' or the most recent 'CM11 Nightly' and I do not get any Cellular Service (WiFi is fine) and I have been looking for answers for several days and I can't seem to find any.
Can someone please help me out and let me know what I need to do, or point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance for any help and/or resources that anyone can provide me with. It will be greatly appreciated.

Same was happening to me on philz recovery . so I install trwp for sprint/Verizon . then I installed trwp manager from play store . I install the PAC ROM from in the app and let it wipe it self . and that did the trick at least for me. I have tried many ways like your self. Nothing work that's the only way I got it working. Hope that help.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the tip...
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, can you post anything you did to get it working...
My Phone Thanks You...
Im having the same problem on both TW and AOSP. If I mess around with the connection settings I can get a signal but when I reboot its lost.
Ive tried both recoveries and its the same on both. Ive tried flashing modems but that did nothing
EDIT: Seems that any kernel that I flash breaks my phones signal, I need to test further to see what part of the kernel flash is causing this.
Whenever I download klte roms I had that problem. I could receive data and text, but I couldn't send any. I used Google voice until I flash kltespr roms. once I flashed the specific roms for our device it worked. Though I had to install ktoonez's version of twrp to get them to flash. That file can be found on the AICP thread.

I think you guys need to flash an APN package with klte roms. Kltespr roms should not have this problem, but if you run into it flashing the APN package shouldn;t hurt there either. Not sure if there is still an APN zip floating around, you may have to manually fix your APN.
It turns out that the custom kernel I was using broke the signal for some reason. Other than that, I had no problems as long as I flashed a kltespr rom. Klte roms worked for data if i used a virgin mobile apn, but there was no texting or calling.
I attached the flashable zip I used to get the virgin mobile apn. I would recommend flashing it right after you flash your rom.
having this same issue also..
i have tried several things.. going back to complete stock and working forward
no matter what i do i get no service on any AOSP rom.. im going to try this apn fix. hopefully it doesnt further break anything lol
Anyone figure this out yet? I've tried about 4 aosp roms and no luck.
PacMan rom with PA Gapps and Ktoonsez kernel worked for me. None of the others did so it must be a ROM issue.
Part of the reason kltespr was de-unified was because of issues like this.
When I'd fix something it would break something else for T-mobile or international.
So I would recommend sticking to kltespr builds for the time being.
Hopefully some work I'll be putting in soon will help get this back in gear.

I couldn't get data on any kltespr builds except Pac Man and even then I lost data the next day for some reason. The new lollipop build has data working for me even though it's "GSM only" so just hoping it stays that way haha Waiting on fixes for battery drainage and I'll run it daily
