Can't send SMS with any 4.4 ROM - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey Everyone,
I know this has been an issue that has been going on for many years with Verizon Galaxy S3 users, but i want to get to the bottom of this. I cannot send texts on ANY 4.4 ROM that I have flashed.
I have it narrowed down to the fact that my SMSC number is showing "update error" for every 4.4 ROM that I have tried. When i revert back to my Alliance 4.3 ROM, I can send texts safely again. When I am on a 4.4 ROM I can only receive texts, but cannot send them.
I've tried every method in the book..... Entering the PDU formatted SMSC number, applying patches etc etc. Nothing is working.
PLEASE HELP.

What firmware (baseband) are you on?

Can't send text messages

Hello,
If i try to send a text message, i get a red triangle next to the message and an error message in the notification menu.
The problems started yesterday. I was running GRJ22 upgraded from GRI40. I tried to debug the error but had no luck. I full wiped my Nexus, reflashed GRI40 and upgraded again via OTA.
I'm on Baseband KD1, Stock 2.3.4, bootloader unlocked but not rooted and no CWM. Network Type ist GSM/CDMA auto (prl) .
Is this even a problem with the phone or should i contact my carrier? Everything else is working: Calls, 3G, BT and wifi. It don't look like a radio issue.
Please help.

[Q] Nexus S 4G 4.0.4 issues with radio

So I've been trying to upgrade my phones from a custom ROM to the official 4.0.4 releases on Nexus S 4G. So I flashed the IMM76D signed zip (flashable one) and got it working. A bit after this, I noticed that I wasn't getting SMS messages. I'm not going to bore you guys with a backstory, so I'm just going to say what I did.
I used "SMSC Updates" found on the Cyanogenmod Wiki to update my SMSC settings (tried all of the following numbers: 07918188561627F7, 07917140140000F0) after seeing it as a suggestion somewhere else about SMS issues. I re-flashed the radio (the new one that released with 4.0.4), and I still cannot get it to work.
I've tried several ROMs, too. Un-rooted, re-rooted, had problems with recovery (solved those, though), and re-rooted again. Also, attempting to use 4G settings crashes the phone.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? As far as I know, I'm able to send SMS, but not receive. Could this be a Sprint issue?
Thanks.

When you say new radio, do you mean LC1? I have had that radio for a week and all is good. If I were you I'd take a screenshot of my current setup and post it on here. I would try to, if you haven't already updating Prl and Profile and call Sprint and get them to reprovision your phone.
Hope you get it fixed soon. Sorry I couldn't be of more help..

Have you resolved your SMS issue?
My wife's S4G is doing the same thing after OTA: can't send, only receive SMS. MMS, on the other hand, are fine.
I've also tried the mentioned CM SMSC update, did not work; tried (*#*#72786#*#*) re-provision, but no luck.
Running out of ideas...
Just a follow up:
I installed Go_SMS, un-installed Handcent, and SMS started working!

[Q] after update, nothing but mms and incoming sms

owner of sch 1535 verizon gs3. Had full root running liquid smooth with gapps 20130301. this is my friends phone and to make a long story short he doesnt totally understand the process involved in wiping and updating or even adding to his roms. quite illieterate when it comes to the matter. So while i was at work he was messing around and wiped everything including the backups. so in this process we reverted to stock verizon through the process of the original tar and odin. well in doing this the ota came through and updated him from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. since that point there is no working phone or outgoing sms. working however is outgoing mms and incoming mms and sms. I have once again reverted to original 4.0.4 in hope of recovering the working functions with no luck.
Any advice out there would be appreciated. I have no idea why the update wiped these functions in the first place and why the writing the factory programming would not restore them

[Q] SMS Won't send only receive

My XT926 does everything it should do except send SMS messages
I'm currently running cm10.1.3-rc2-xt907, though it's not worked with any of the previous CM releases or Xenon that I've installed. It did originally work on stock but I don't want to go back there!
I'm using it in the UK.
I've tried differant roms. I've flashed the GSM fix, I've tried Handcent, Go SMS Pro, but nothing works.
Can anybody help??

Yup, I have exactly the same problem. The original stock ROM did work, but since flashing a new ROM, I tried all the SMS programs, I tried changing my SMSC in the phone options -*#*#4636#*#* to be correct for my provider, didn't help at all.

Why are you running a ROM for the XT907 on the XT926? The XT907 is pretty close so it probably will work, but if you flash the correct ROM SMS should work fine.
Cyanogenmod ROMs for the XT926 are: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=xt926
For what it's worth, I am running 10.1.3 stable on mine, and I have used it on a GSM network (TMobile) without any issues with SMS sending. Make sure you have the correct APNs and edit build.prop to comment out the LTEv7CDMA line (something like that, near the bottom). That should be all you have to do.
EDIT: The 10.2 ROMs have problems with SMS, see the development forum for more info. But according to your post you are using 10.1

I originally installed the cm10.1.3 stable for XT926 but at the time I wasn't receiving data or able to send sms. I flashed the gsm fix found on this forum and at that point it seemed to change to xt907.
Anyway I've followed your suggestion, reflashed 10.1.3, put false against LTEv7CDMA in build.prop and rebooted. Entered the APN as per the suppliers website and still nothing.
Still no sending sms and this time no data (which I had with the gsm fix). Calls and incoming sms work fine.
I don't want to give up with my phone, any other suggestions?

Are these dirty flashes or clean flashes? What is the network mode set to under Settings --> More --> Mobile Networks?
Also, the line you needed to # out was telephony.rilV7NeedCDMALTEPhone, is that the one you added a # in front to (or set to false)?
Edit: Can you link the GSM fix you flashed previously? I've never seen that for the 926 on 10.1.3 -- the only fixes I can find are for the 925 or 10.2?

MMS "message failed to send" when second text or later is attempted

Hey everyone,
This one has me stumped. About a month ago, while on a CM11 nightly, my texting and GPS started acting up. I tried to flash a different ROM from here but that led me to an "unknown" baseband. I ultimately ended up flashing the stock ROM found on this site was back on a 4.0.4. I used it for a few days and noticed that my 2nd text message to anyone would fail to send (as well as every message thereafter). I got frustrated with this so I flashed CM11 back on the phone. I still had this issue. I then flashed CleanROM 8.2 (last one) and I was still getting this behavior. This is with the MF1 firmware on the phone. I then decided to go back to CM 10.2.1 and sure enough, I'm STILL encountering this issue! I can send one message but the rest of them result in a "message failed to send" with an "Error code: -1" on the message details. I have a clean install on the phone now and would not hesitate to wipe again if anyone has any ideas or suggestions here. LTE is set under mobile networks. APN seems fine as well. Anyone else experience this behavior?
Talking to myself here but for anyone encountering this, you need to downgrade the firmware/baseband to MB1. I flashed that, wiped the phone, reinstalled AOSP and they appear to be working now.
My dialog with others is found here: Constantly losing reception/texts not going through!
