yes i'm in the same boat, except mine is working. i have root and what not but i just want a clean rom like phantom blazer. but when i installed it everything worked freaking awesome....except no cell signal since its geared for sprint only, i wonder how hard it would be to adjust it to US Cellular.

Here is the rar file from my dropbox for CWM backup of my phone. (The file is being Uploaded)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ucd5lxmup5ibnxk/QxnDuVDtE8
There is one more way
Just odin the Verizon system rooted unlocked image. tar (1500 mb) Its rooted system image of Verizon. It works fine for me. All Verizon custom ROMs work too. Stock ROMs fail at the modem stage. Once the boot loaders are unlocked they will load too.The baseband remains of US Cellular.
MD5 file Question
There is a Kies updated for USCC phone. Kies downloaded a file and placed it in the Binary folder.
Named "VZW_HOME_R530UVXALG4_R530UUSCALG4_961795_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.MD5" can this be flashed using ODIN to create a stock phone. Sorry new to flashing

Can SCH-R530 be used on GSM network?
Hello,
Can the US Cellular SCH-R530 be used on GSM network? I read about the Verizon SCH-I535 being turned into a world phone. The AT&T rom can be flashed to the SCH-I535 and everything works. I think the only thing that cannot be flashed is the ATT modem into the verizon S3.
So can something like this be done to the SCH-R530 phone?
If anyone is willing to try or has any input, please let us know.! Thank you..

Are you sure the Verizon ROM will work smoothly in Samsung S3 R530 US Cellular and not brick the phone?
Is the Verizon S3 I535 and USCC S3 R530 have the same hardware?
thanks,
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/281-galaxy-s-iii-roms-qadiscussions/
If you haven't found help yet, this should fix you ups. All you have to do is install CWM via Odin and then flash one of these!

US Cellular is CDMA. You have a GSM phone. They're not inter-compatible.
Just wondering if this is possible? I am wanting to put it on as my prepaid phone for us cellular.

100% impossible. You need a CDMA phone, and I think US Cellular will only activate US Cellular-branded phones.
So im wasting my time?
Yup, pretty much.

have you tried using other sims? maybe its not compatible with your specific sim.
maybe you just dont have any coverage, when i get the "not registred on network" message, it usualy means i'm underground, or in a place with low cell coverage, like in the woods or mountains.

The phone is factory unlocked so no issues related to not compatible and I tried with another sim too. Still the same problem. The problem only came when I flashed the 4.3 Indian stock rom. But that rom doesn't have any problem coz I've used on other note 2 too. Something related with the phone.
Hi there if you go into settings and then about device and then status you will be able to see if you have a service state if you don't have any but the network operator appears as well as signal stats. You most likely have a black listed iemi or something happened to the iemi when flashing the rom or more simple is the sim slot is broken. Hopefully you will be able to fix it sorry I can't give you that much help on this subject.

Your last & only solution if you want to use your phone, it's to root your device.
Because it's your radio which is bad. Your baseband is for only USA and not for Greece or World West Europe (WWE)
You need to root your device and change for an European Baseband.
That's why you need to know what exactly your device:
Go to settings => About =>
Phone identity
(you will see model number, and lot of infos that you will need write somewhere for giving on your next post)
Software information
(remember these infos)
and finally click "More"
You will see your baseband and more infos that you need to give also.
Give me your model number and your device serial number, and I'll give you the good way for searching

I've got a bad news for you because you cannot unlock your sim card.
In fact your phone is only use for US cellular (CDMA) not European (GSM)
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma
If you use "search all forums" just above and type:
Code:

you will find a lot of posts about this subject but with all time same answer: You CANNOT
