No data randomly

Just got my GS3 yesterday. Rooted before I paid for it I'm running the stock OS with root but I seem to lose my data connection constantly. It stays lost until I toggle airplane mode. Any way to fix this? Thanks

I have this same problem, but it happened to me after I had lost my IMEI and then manually injected it myself. I've ready tried reprovisioning about 3 times, but to no avail. Idk if our problem is caused by the same thing or not, but it is extremely bothersome, isn't it? I wish some genius could help us

I didn't do anything with the IMEI except back it up using the terminal emulator and the "reboot nvbackup" command. Not even sure if it did anything or not. How do you reprovision the phone? What does that even [claim to] do? A google search shows a lot of people complaining about this. I hope someone comes along and helps too.

If you reprovision, it will wipe all your data and such. Idk if you wanna try it. I only tried it because someone suggested it, but it was pointless. So, if you were gonna try that, you would want to nandroid backup first. The way to reprovision if you're interested is dial *2767*3855# that'll do the trick for you. I hope someone comes along to help as well. After a while some fix usually comes around. Just gotta be patient sometimes

Interesting. I wonder what the reprovisioning actually does. I didn't flash CWM yet since I'm running the stock bootloader, and it is locked. I heard that unlocking the bootloader can cause trouble if an OTA update changes things on it.

I would suggest that you just download ROM Manager from the app store, open it up, and at the very top it will say flash clockwork mod recovery. Hit that and it should be a done deal. Let me know if you have any problems

Thanks. That worked, and I now have CWM installed. I also did a backup to internal SD. Is the SGS3 like the Galaxy Nexus? (Meaning that even rooted, the stock OS will overwrite CWM with the default bootloader)

About data/signal issue, that's not your IMEI. It more than likely is your sim card. I had to get 2 replacements from Verizon due to a weak signal. Another simple thing to try is to be sure data roaming is ON in the settings menu, and restart. That is known to work. Rooting prob did not cause this to happen, the S3 has signal issues to begin with. Do not start running scripts to attempt to fix without going through the verizon fixes first. Stay on stock rom, hide your root apps and bring in to get sim card. They won't check for root.
Plan B is to call *611 and speak to someone, they can push a signal code through to fix. Don't say your rooted!

Oh but we shall see what happens when I change towers. To compare, and diagnose this issue, how is your phone setup. Mine is as follows:
Purchased at: Small business authorized reseller
Contract: On contract
Purchase date: 9/5/12 (opened a new account, not adding a line)
OS/ROM: Stock 4.0.4
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader: Locked (had it unlocked temporarily to see if I could do it, but I relocked it to diagnose the data issue)
Recovery: CWM
ICS Encryption: Not turned on (I don't think I can use it now that I have CWM installed anyway)
Apps that run at boot: Call Recorder by Skvalex
Root apps installed: SuperUser (duh), Rom Manager, CallRecorder, Terminal Emulator (used it to execute "reboot nvbackup" as a supposed IMEI backup method)

So far all I've done is "reboot nvbackup" to supposedly backup my IMEI, but I have no idea if it did anything. I'll double check data roaming, but I don't want to rack up a roaming bill. Also I don't have to worry about my store finding out if I root. The sales guy helped me root it before I even paid for it.

The guy I dealt with helped with root questions for me too at actually vzw store... Funny! Sim should do the trick. And yes, that script you ran backed your IMEI correctly, so it's not that. Data roaming is to see if it improves issue, if it does, your having network issues that are not phone related. There is no reason to keep that option on unless your lost in the woods and need data!

If there would be a reset involved , I guess I'd wait for a rom that don't have to reset. It' so time comsuming to bring the phone back to where you were. Not so much the loss of picture sor music , it's more of the emails and contact merging.
Unless you really feel it's worth it then I'll consider
Thanks

sorry to hear that about ur device but wouldnt it help u better to ask that question on that roms page,i understand ur problem but i dont use liquid, so best advice i can give is to get ur phone into recovery mode and use a different rom and before u add the rom wipe ur cache

4.2 ROMs are still in beta mode. Expect little hiccups when you flash them. OK took me a few times of flashing before it worked for me.

gmail should automatically sync contacts and emails unpon phone set up. (cant take more then 5 minutes)
also look into titanium backup for individual app data.
wiping data and factory reset is a MUST for installing new ROMs.
if you think you "dont have the time for it", then i highly recommend you stay on your rom and read comments from others using the rom to see if it is worth the reset or you could just give up and go buy an iphone.

Honestly, I just had to say this is absolutely not true in all circumstances. Yes you should do so 8/10 times, but I can say personally that I've flashed over another ROM many times with no issues. Granted usually it was a new build of the same ROM and never going from say 4.0>4.1.2 or 4.1.2>4.2
Best of luck, I had some serious issues with Liquidsmooth (via a clean install) so I dumped it but hopefully it works out for you.

Ok, I'll resolve to fact that the LS Rom is in development and I should wait for a true version down the road. . Due to the situation I went back to the stock Rom and re-routed the phone. Since then, any Google search or Nav search, I get a Google error that Google has stopped working. I'll get the alert but the program will still work
Any ideas on what could of happened? Before the LS install, I had the recent stock Rom ( 4.1.1- I535VRBLK3) and was routed with no errors
Also, has anyone seen a tether app that works with JB. It seems that none of the tether apps work. I've noticed that on web searches of other forums and from the comments from users of the GNU.org program
Thanks for any help

Yeah.. So when is it okay and not okay to wipe? Between updates on the same ROM sure...
But I feel like your just gambling another 30 minutes of seeing or not a wipe is needed.

if your phone boots up and you just don't have data, but have your IMEI, then do the following:
system settings >more >Mobile networks >network mode: make sure you are on LTE/CDMA/EvDo
then: CDMA Subscription and make sure you are on RUIM/SIM
then reboot, clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot. has been known to fix this problem in other phones showing same problem.

No signal

I just flashed CleanROM on my S3, and now I have no signal, and when I do I cant make or receive calls or anything.
I flashed it on my brothers phone before doing it to mine a day before, and his works wonderfully. Should I just give the phone a day? If so, and it doesn't work by tomorrow should I simply flash a new radio or reflash CleanROM?

Check under settings> more settings> mobile networks. You should be set to global setting. If it already is set that way, switch to gsm of CDMA and the switch back to global. That should do it. And obviously make sure your not in airplane mode, sync is on, mobile data enabled, ect.

I got the IMEI back using the first link without reverting back to anything. However, so far I still have no signal. I guess I have to revert then? The reason I didn't convert is because I found the tool before reading your reply and it didn't mention anything about reverting.

Way ahead of you. Got it backed up with 4.0.4. Thanks for your help and patience man. You get a thanks from me.
Also, I think it should be noted for everyone else that after flashing back to stock 4.0.4, you can save yourself a lot of drama by using that code. Also, you do get stuck into a boot loop when reverting back(I and many others did that I read), simply boot into recovery(yes stock recovery) and do a full wipe. This is probably mentioned somewhere though.

Check to see if you've lost your imei/eri. Your imei should be the number under your battery and your eri should be 5. If they aren't that then you need to restore them if you haven't backed them up.

Checked all those #s. They r fine. The only thing that looks different is the PRL#. It says 1. I swear it had more numbers than that last time I checked.

You may have to Odin all the way back and reprovision your phone. I haven't done it but I may because right now my Google play only works on a few roms and its bugging the mess out of me. My S3 was rooted and unlocked when I got it so I've never had to Odin before but I'm so sick of Google play store no connection on certain roms.

I got the same problem. Installed latest carbon rom i cannot make any phone calls. Tried to activate the phone again, but that did not work. Tried to restore from old backups going back several months ago, no luck. Any help would be nice!

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. I posted yesterday with same problem.
Questions: (trying to trouble shoot)
1 - which version of CarbonRom were you guys running?
2 - and which Recovery were you using? If TWRP, did you happen to update to 2.6.3.0 recently?
What happened to me: running carbonrom 20130913. Updated to twrp 2.6.3.0 (from 2600) >> boinked voice, but my data and text works.
What did not work: nandroid all my backups (synergy, beanstown, cleanrom) = did not solve problem. clean wipe/format and re-install (cleanrom/synergy) = no dice.
What worked:
1 - Odin back to stock (unroot, locked the bootloader) -- refer to the first thread in this forum for how-to.
2 - Took all of the OTA updates by verizon all the way to most recent update (I think 5 total, plus or minus...).
3 - Go to your phone's setting and do a factory reset.
4 - ...this, thankfully, fixed the problem.
Notes: After my first bork and restore. I rooted and unlocked again. Updated twrp to 2.6.3.0 again, and reinstalled CarbonRom 20130911 (which worked fine for me before) --> same problem again.
...I just restored my phone for 2nd time using method above. Tedious as heck, but it worked.
...not sure if this is CarbonRom or TWRP related.....

I am having this same issue as well after attempting to flash Carbon Rom. Did the method listed above resolve the issue for anyone?

...played around some more -- and borked it a few more times....
it's not the TWRP 2.6.3.0. It's the carbonrom 4.3 JB --> issue being discussed in the carbonrom thread as well
I reverted back to carbon rom 4.2.2 and no problems

I gave up and called in the heavies. Got a new phone on the way. Thanks for all help. Will definitely fix this problem the next time it arises using this info though..:laugh:

Next time you should really try to troubleshoot. If you call in a warranty replacement every time something you flash borks something on your phone, then they're gonna start to wonder what the hell you're doing. Plus, it's good to have some kind of experience and the ability to fix your phone if needed.

I have fixed my phone many times where I have messed it up. This time unfortunately I didn't have the patience. But I will take heed to your advice and work harder to find the solution.

There's always a fix as long as you can get into download mode or recovery. I had lost my imei flashing Carbon 4.3. All I had to do was restore my imei flashing the zip that the synergy backup made and bam I could make and receive calls again. But that was after I switched Roms. Probably ROM related becuasr I am using TWRP 2.5.

Can I have the link you used to flash back to stock .. I am in the same boat

Just my opinion and .02. If you don't know how to restore your phone from this state or to use Odin then you shouldn't be flashing Roms and hacking it.

Not to sound harsh, but I know from experience how easy it can be to miss one little step in flashing or to encounter an unforseen problem. If you hack your phone and flash Roms for very long, the risk of doing this rises because we get so comfortable we make silly, stupid mistakes like missing one step or maybe we accidentally wipe our sd card which has our ROM on it. Also if you flash nightlies the chances go up even further that something will go wrong.

But on a more positive side, this forum is awesome because of the great developers and contributors willing to help whenever you are having problems. I personally have greatly benefited from the awesome support.
