[Q] Help, I deleted my stock rom by accident - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

This is my first post and I'm not sure where to put it but I hope this is right.
I'm kinda new to flashing ROMs and was trying to flash one using safestrap on my GS3. I couldn't find one that worked and went back to my stock ROM. In the stock ROM cell service completely died and wouldn't work, to combat this problem I removed all ROMs, ROM slots, and wiped the stock ROM cache. Nothing. So then I restored to my nandroid backup I made yesterday and that deleted my OS. Now when I boot it just gets stuck at the second Samsung boot logo (there the first one that just says "Samsung" and "unlocked", then the second on says "Galaxy SIII" or something) now I have no OS and I'm not sure how to fix this, can I get some help please?
Okay, I got the stock firmware installed but I still have no service anywhere. Any ideas?

First thing I would do is make sure your imei is still present in the about phone section. If it is, move on to the next step.
I would go completely back to stock, Odin flash either the stock 4.3 or 4.4 image depending on which you were on. If you're unsure, post what it says in download mode.
If you do that and you still have no service, then go to verizon and get a new sim card. Flashing a new modem wouldn't fix this situation.

where did you get cm10 for the vzw phone? I thought it was for all of the other phones but vzw? Try going back to stock non root. try flashing the modems in the thread about this one.

Flash the stock tar.md5 from here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=scH-i535
Whatever you flashed put a custom kernel on there, and that's why you get that message.

I have tried to odin stock and then wipe. still showing no data connection, and same thing when I put my wifes sim in. IM thinkiing it has something to do with the dual boot i had set up before. is there a way to repartion the internal sd card or emmc?
This seems to be happening to a lot of people flashing AOSP ROMs....this is why they warn you they are not responsible for what happens to your phone...especially with Betas.
There are many threads on this and several on how to get a workaround until someone figures out how to fix this.
Try doing a search on losing IMEI or roaming after flashing CM10...it is happening a lot...that is why I am just using rooted stock with VZW apps and TW frozen.
this problem I was having with no data or radio in CM10.
I used ODIN to go back to stock rooted (root 66).
When I did that I was boot looping in the puking rainbows 4GLTE boot animation.
I eventually figured out how to fix that by booting into recovery (press volume up, home button, and power button at the same time till phone boots). I then did a wipe data/factory reset.
My phone then booted fine into stock root.
I then proceeded to punch in *2767*3855# into my dialer immediately when I got stock root working. That did some sort of a factory reset / format. It all happened so quick I could barely read what it told me. The phone rebooted after a while.
I then downloaded EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3 app from the Play store.
I installed the custom recovery from Dhacker's CM10 post over on the droidhive forums using EZ recovery.
I also downloaded the CM10 file to flash and the Jelly Bean Google Apps file.
Rebooted into recovery, Wiped data/cache/dalvik.
Installed the CM10 file.
Installed the Jelly Bean apps.
Reboot.
Profit.
I now have a largely functional CM10 (as far as I can tell there are some camera issues). Data 3G/4G is working, so are calls and text and everything is dandy.
Did the *27 bla bla thing posted above and back to normal. Thanks everyone

[Q] Need Help!

Hi, I just tried flashing cyanogenmod on my us cellular galaxy s3, and I ran into a problem. I followed a great youtube tutorial on how to flash cyanogen, and everything went fine. the tutorial used goomanager, and was done only using the phone, no computer. I flashed the rom after backing everything up through titanium, and everything appeared to be working like it should. After the flash was complete, the cyanogen animation popped up on my screen, but as soon as it finished loading, two messages popped up: setup wizard has stopped and goo.apps has stopped. I would hit okay, but the two messages just kept popping up. I restored my stock rom, but id still like to flash cyanogen and I need to know what I need to do to prevent this from happening again and how to restart the flash process. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

before you flashed the rom did you wipe data and cache? you might also be on the nightly version, try looking for the stable version, and if its on 10.1 its on 10.1, theres nothing you can do but wait for it to become stable if it isent already.

Everything was wiped. what I think happened was when I backed everything up, I didn't set titanium to not restore my app data, causing a bootloop. I could be very wrong about that though. What I need to know is how to reflash it, as I have already tried to but when I do it brings up system recovery instead of reflashing. Is it because I already tried flashing it once? and if that's the case how do I start from scratch? Oh, and I did flash the stable version. it was 10.1.2

might want to try flashing a stock rom via odin cause it sounds like you have stock recovery now, i dont know if anyone will pick you up in the q&a section, since yours is us cellular i dont think they have a forum for that specific contractor just only t-mobile at&t and verizon would have one. you can ask them in their q&a but tell them your situation and that your on us cellular. good luck mate. if ya have any questions just ask right here.

Restored imei but not connecting to network like it should

I tried flashing cm one day and after hours of not being able to connect to the network I realized my imei was deleted. I restored it flashed back to paranoid 4.3 but have been having connection issues. Next to no service in my house and places I had 4g I have 1 x or searching for service. I noticed my prl is 0, imeisv is 0 and also my eri set to 0. I flashed back to stock and everything was fine but as I excepted ota to upgrade firmware the mentioned above went back to zero. I believe I didn't do something correctly it's more than bad reception. Any ideas?

So, to clarify, on stock you have normal connectivity and the imei and meid is present in settings>about phone>status?

Sorry about that, the phone had normal connectivity when I went back to stock and in settings-about-status all values were present
Imei hex dex

I'm completely lost I have a feeling I didn't do something correctly when I restored imei. Either in qpst or In hidden menus on the phone. I just tried going back to out the box without any firmware updates and I have the same connectivity issues

Restore from a previous TWRP or CWM backup. I had the same problem before and restoring a backup was the only thing that worked. I even tried manually restoring the IMEI through QPST without any progress.
I'll give it a try thanks

For whatever reason I can't access my back ups. In twrp I go to restore and folder is empty. My back ups are on my sd card which I've used several times before. I tried going into install then go directly to that folder but nothing happens just goes into sub cater gory. I'm so lost this seems to not be a common issue so there's. Of a lot of info out there

I recently got through this issue too. After fixing my IMEI, ERI and MEID my phone would recognize a network but could not make calls. What I had to do was ODIN back to a stock unrooted ROM then complete a factory reset from INSIDE THE ROM, not from recovery. Reflashing a nandroid from recovery wouldn't work and simply flashing to a stock ROM wouldn't work, it was only after doing a factory reset using the ROM (Menu->Settings->Backup and Reset->Factory data reset) that I got connectivity back fully. This might work with a Touchwiz rooted rom but I don't know for sure. Obviously after that you'll need to re-root and re-flash whatever ROM you want or restor from a previous saved backup. ABSOLUTELY backup your IMEI information, if I knew what I was doing the first time and knew how simple it was and how little time it takes I would have done that first and avoided all this hassle!!

I'm glad this worked for you. I was banging my head against the wall for a few days trying to figure this out. If you haven't already done it, back up your IMEI using the link in my last post. It literally takes only minutes and saves TONS of hassle.

Sorry I fell off the map on this, life's been busy lately!! All the links to the files I used are infact down. Were you able to get your hands on a stock rom? For all the repair work I used CleanROM, but I only flashed a stock ROM to do the factory reset. I'm actually wondering if doing a factory reset from the menu in CleanROM will do the same thing. Do your research so you don't brick your phone.
I went and looked on my computer and saw the file I used for a stock rom was a Root66 (pre-rooted) ROM.
For what it's worth, here's the links I used:
I started with this return to stock guide. Step three led me to this guide to flash a stock rom using ODIN. Step five of that guide had the links to the stock ROMs and stock pre-rooted ROMs. I was having trouble downloading a 4.1.2 ROM so I used a 4.1.1 instead.
If you still need a stock ROM let me know and I'll find a way to get the one I used to you.

Hey, no worries.. Life is much more important. Thanks for responding. I did get fixed.
I went back to a 4.1.2 ROM, couldn't fix everything. Eventually got back to 4.0.4. Got everything straightened out. And backed that _ _ _ _ up.
Was than able to upgrade to 4.4.2 aosp ROM, of course without needing the backup. But I have it.
Thanks again....as is usually the case, not reading enough up front did me in. Let that be a lesson kids.

[Q] Skyrocket will boot into recovery and download but hang when booting all ROMS

The Phone was working fine. When it stopped sending emails, i rebooted and it showed the "samsung" boot screen, then the screen turns black and there is nothing. Sometimes, it will boot into ROM after sitting there for 30 minutes. It is SGII skyrocket running CM 10.2 with TWRP. Tried flashing stock rom and various backups and roms. A few days earlier I had flashed a rom to experiment but ended up reverting back using a backup. I am able to get into download and recovery mode. Is it possible I corrupted something and what do I need to do to get it to boot correctly? Thanks.

Flash the proper recovery, then wipe and flash the Rom again. I'm not going to help you past that, since I've already explained this exact problem last week.

I was given the advice to use odin and flash a stock recovery. Havent tried it yet, but its on my list. That and finishing the christmas tree. My problem was similar and phone would randomly kernal lock during boot.

Thats not helpful. What is "the proper recover?" TWRP has been working for months. Not even a link to where you explained the solution? I searched the forum before I posted and I didnt see it. I flashed the stock with odin before posting and it did the same thing.

[Q] No service on OnePlus One after flashing a backup on TWRP.

Here comes the info. So, I rooted my OPO and wanted to install a custom ROM. I first, as recommended, made a backup image on TWRP. I then downloaded Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 6 to try it out. Used for a couple hours, and then decided to flash the OPO AOSP ROM directly from the OnePlus website. This is where everything went wrong. My phone was stuck in a bootloop after rebooting from flashing the ROM. So, I went back into TWRP and flashed the backup image I had made, afraid I was going to brick my phone. Once the backup had installed and I had booted into it, I had no service. I tried removing my SIM card, and placing back in, I checked and I was NOT in airplane mode. I became quite irritated, so I formatted data in TWRP. I then placed a zip on my phone from my computer of a CM12 Rom. I flashed that and still have no service. How do I regain service? Is it a problem with my phone or my SIM? Please Help.

Are you sure the SIM is inserted the right way? Have you tested it in another phone? Have you tested another SIM in your phone?
