Hello, it's my first time to xda developers. I followed a guide to get cwm on my straighttalk galaxy S3 running off of verizon. It told me to use a dsvzw image. i did, but then it showed me updates in cm updater, and i didnt look closely at the name of the update package, it said cm11 d2lte. well now the phone is saying no sim card and isnt showing that it is picking up service. i have tried to install cm 10.2 back through my recoverery but its still the same. i am running clock work mod recovery, the latest. I have no idea what do to fix this. its my only phone so any help would be greatly appreciated. If i can get my stock rom back thatd be great, might actually help the device. anyway, thanks again

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!!!!
Hello, this is my first time posting on the forums here.
Recently I flashed the latest version of MIUI on my Verizon Galaxy s3. I decided that I preferred my previous rom; Jelly Bean's Build 10, and I restored it to my phone. After restoring the rom, I got a message saying that I was roaming, even though I am still in the same area where service has been working flawlessly. The first thing I tried to do was change the network type under network settings to LTE/CDMA but that choice was already selected. Thinking that I had no other options, I restored the stock rom that I had backed up on my device and I got the same issue. Thinking I could just send the phone back to Verizon, I unrooted the phone using the built in unroot tool in SuperSu Pro. I am now unrooted, but forgot to reflash the stock recovery (I am still using TWRP). I am just wondering what I should do about the issue, and if I were to send it back to verizon, would they be able to tell that I have a custom recovery. Sorry for being a noob and any help would be much appreciated.
Update: I rolled back to my rooted stock ROM and I used triangle away to reset the custom flash counter. I have also reflashed the stock recovery onto my device. Even though my phone appears to be unmodified I still have the same issue.

there are SOOO many threads about how to fix the roaming issue it's not even funny....
^^^^^what he said!
This happened to me and what I had to do was ODIN to stock ICS rom and enter the code to reprovision sim. Google/forum search is your friend.
This is why Verizon locks down their phones! People who are not willing to search for a way to fix something that they screwed up is unacceptable. The bad thing is this phone is completely fixable with very little effort! Some people should not be allowed to flash anything!
I've dealing with so many issues ever since the DroidX so if there is one thing I've learned is there is ALWAYS a fix you may just need to do a little search if you can't find the resources your looking for on any of forums a simple google search will help you out.
Hey everyone. So ill give you a quick background here.
I got the new sIII so I took my old sII and rooted it and started messing around with roms ext to get to know the basics, I still dont know them but at least I didnt brick my new phone. Got used to odin, CWM and TWRP(not so much still getting ot know this one)
So I now have the sIV (sgh-I337M) and I was upset when I bought the galaxy gear watch and couldnt connect it to my phone. (OBV because it isnt a note3 and its not running 4.3 JB)
So I go on a mission. Rooting and Rom'ing my SIV to 4.3. some roms worked, some didnt. Found one that worked flawlessly! installed it started setting it up the way I wanted it and everything was going well, all the while connected to wifi. The problem comes when I tryed to text someone. I have no radio.... Crap.... So I realized maybe its because I didnt install a build prop?? What is a build prop? How does one install a pre-made build prop? is this even my problem?
Here is the thread I used to get my rom (The only rom that isnt constantly having "com.xxx.xxx" unexpectedly stopping or failing) and it runs flawlessly on my phone except for the radio problems... I downloaded and installed 2013.09.07 ROM
I assumed the attatched file ge4.3-build.prop-i337m.zip is a build prop that I need to add into the phone some how and this may fix my problem.
I know this type of problem has been addressed a million times. Unfortunatly Im at work right now and I can take the time to search thousands of threads for this answer. altho I assure you I never registered untill today because everything Ive needed to know untill now has been answered with a bit of searching thru this exilent foums culture.
ANY HELP GRATELY APPRECIEATED

Hi Guys,
I have a few questions about cyanogenmod, safestrap, and the lovely ATT MF3 bootlocker that is ruining my day. By the way, thanks for all the information you all give, it's helped me understand this process. Even though many people don't post, I'm sure they're glad to have your opinions as well. I have an ATT MF3 SGH-I337. I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 using safestrap 3.65. I run into difficulty when I install the 10.2 zip file on the second partition. I've installed the kernel module and was able to successfully install 10.2 (according to SafeStrap), however when I restarted my phone it simply sat on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen. It was only soft bricked and I was able to reinstall the stock ROM. I'm about to start the entire process over and I thought that it would be really nice to get an expert opinion on where I'm going wrong.
I have a few questions:
1. Does CyanogenMod 10.2 work with Safestrap 3.65? If not, will 10.1?
2. Should I also install the kernel module on my stock partition?
3. Is there any way that I can limit the stock partition to barely usable? I plan on going Cyano and never looking back.
Thanks in advance,
Grija
I ended up getting SafeStrap on my phone, but I still can't get cyanogenmod on there. Also, my phone's 4G on the stock rom isn't working, despite having the kernel modules.
Any thoughts?

Alright, I've got the modem back. I had to Odin my modem (phone) and CSC. This killed the settings I just set up, but it did fix the modem issue. Back to Cyanogenmod.
I should just be grabbing the latest RC, installing a new virtual ROM, applying the kernals, and flashing the ZIP... correct?
Thanks,
Brandon
Hello all, I have a Straight Talk S3 running CWM recovery and Gummy ROM. I was using a Verizon Cyanogen mod 12.1 for some time, but in my attempts to find another ROM, somehow made it so that the CM12.1 cannot be installed for whatever reason. At this point, I just want to flash the phone to its original stock state so I can sell it, as I'm getting a new phone. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
