Need Help, APN problem, only have cdma access now. - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My buddies kid go a hold of my phone and somehow set all my APN setting back to default. Now I only have cdma that works. Im still using the stock rooted NE5 rom. Does anyone know how I can restore or re input the settings? Any help would be much appreciated.

Well, after a lot of searching I finally found the fix. For anyone else that might have this happen heres a zip to flash.

Problem

Well, I tried to root it using the latest rc33 one... but now I have no service, so I can't even get passed the google register screen...
what do I do?
what version are you running now?
rc33, the update went fine. But now I'm stuck at google registration
Did you update the radio as well? I would also try pulling the sim card and then put it back in. Sounds stupid but has worked for me on other phones.
is there any way i can unroot it? maybe that would work?
sorry but im not very savvy when it comes to all these things.
no service? or no edge connection? Maybe you can try by editing the APN.
On the google registration screen, press "menu" on your phone and then tap "APN Settings". You can modify an existing one or you can add a custom APN.
try reflashing the RC30 firmware and see if that fixes it. if it does, then try for the RC33 one again. Mine messed up first time and a simple wipe and reflash seemed to sort it out.
As you were asked before you need to install the radio as well.

Default sprint MSID?

While trying to get Web and MMS on my metro flashed TP2 I accidently changed the MSID, which I later realized i wasn't supposed to do. Anyways I can't get internet without it and i've tried doing a hard reset, flashing back to stock ROM and of course i've googled it but couldn't find it. Is there anyway to restore the EPST to default? Or does anyone know the default sprint MSID? Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: I'm currently running on the Affliction ROM.
There is no Default MSID, you need your MSID for your phone, you'd need to call sprint and get it from them.

[Q] Sprint settings for Nexus S

Hi,
I have a Google Nexus S phone with Sprint. I was playing with QPST and CDMA workshop and for some reason the SMS messaging and data aren't working anymore. Phone calling does work well though.
Unfortunately, I didn't save the settings for my phone before using CDMA workshop. I called sprint but they were not able to help.
Please help! :\
I'd try full factory wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Then I'd flash whatever rom I was using before and keep my fingers crossed when I reboot that everything is fixed. Then I'd keep my fingers out of the software you were futzing around with so it doesn't happen again. I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm saying what I'd try.

None of the things you've suggested affect the Radio (qpst/epst) settings.
Get a flashable zip of the latest OTA update, unzip it, and fastboot flash the radio.img. Either that or, if you're on the stock rom, dial *#*#72786#*#*, enter your MSL, and clear the settings (it factory resets/re-activates your phone's radio without wiping any data.)
You probably messed with the NV settings..
Flash back to stock
Go into setting and do a system update so sprint can reconfigure your setting ota

Bradart, I had the stock ROM, I dialed that number and now I can't even make/receive phone calls.
lilgrass71, yes I was testing something with NV items. I had a friend telling me his settings (but unfortunately he's on Verizon). I tried them on my phone and now I can't even connect to sprint network! it keeps searching for network and never finds anything. With this I can't even connect to sprint and update my profile or do anything! :\
Is there anything I can do to restore EVERYTHING (NV items, etc) to factory setting? the power-volume thing and privacy->restore-to-factory settings aren't working...
I'd greatly appreciate your help!
You have to go back to stock.... I mean stock stock by running the exe from Samsung

Then you can update profile one the phone is set up... But that's only of you didn't mess with any meid or pesn settings in qpst and qxdm.... That'll be illegal Tsk tsk....haha

[Q] Verizon Galaxy s3 roaming only, not activating

So I'm totally at a loss of where to go or what to even search for.
I have a verizon Galaxy s3 that I rooted and unlocked the bootloader on. I flashed a couple ROMs and now it won't connect to the network. It tells me it is in roaming mode only. I called verizon, but they said to just return the phone because it won't talk to their network.
I've read some things about "triangle away" and I kind of tried that. But it kept telling me that my flash count was 0 anyway. So it didn't do anything.
My IMEI and ICCID are correct to my sim card and phone. I originally flashed CM10 for the verizon s3 and it worked great for a few weeks. Then I tried a couple others and they worked also. Then I flashed the euroskank ROM, and that's when it no longer would connect. I went back to a previous nandroid, and still no connecting.
I don't know what the problem is, or what to search for, or where to go.
Should I try to install a stock rom. I know I keep seeing things about odin and installing the stock rom. Should I do that? That's something I haven't tried yet.
So, I tried reprovisioning the phone with *2767*3855#
And when I did that, it said sorry, your phone is not yet activated.
But I know it is, or, at least was activated. And when I call verizon they tell me it has been activated already. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock
Same Problem
Flashed CM10.1 nightly just to test it out and then boom, no more connection. On any ROM. Scariest part? I have gone through the restore process and am now back to an unrooted phone with out of the box firmware. I believe I will take it back to Verizon now and see if they will give me a new one.

So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

Well that's good to know that you got it back working again. Sounds like it might be just be the ROM and not anything weird that we did to cause the loss of connectivity.
Thanks nertskull
Thanks nertskull, I had this problem after trying to downgrade from CM10.1 to CM10 and was stuck. I tried so many different methods and nothing worked until this one, thanks so much!

I had the an issue with my phone stuck roaming and this method worked great! Only problem I came across was trying to run Samsungs update for Jelly Bean, Every time I attempted to update my phone would crash and go back to ICS. Luckily I had a back up so I wiped my phone, restored from my previous backup (which had Jelly Bean) and worked without roaming issues!
My input is if your having roaming issues is to use a backup you made before you had the roaming issue. Follow this tutorial above to get your phone back to stock, root your phone, then restore from your backup through CWM or whatever you are using.
I am not too sure what causes the roaming issue but I did notice while looking for networks, my phone found ATT ad TMobile haha.I am assuming what happened was that the Cyanogenmod update I was downloading automatically was set for another carry which changed my wireless settings. I will be downloading nightly's manually for now on lol
Thanks for this fix, Saved me a lot of time and aggression

My S3 is having the same issue after a CM10 modification. Reflashing to a stock ROM fails, wiping and reflashing fails, trying a different rom on cwm fails, no backups to flash to (all result in error). So I stumbled upon this thread, read about reprovisioning, and I took it to mean input the numeric code into the phone dialer. I did that, and nothing happened. Can anyone provide insight on reprovision and how to do it? Google search on reprovision isn't giving me any hints.
If the reprovision is just failing and I've been doing it right, does anyone have any other suggestions? Really hoping my phone isn't soft-bricked with no ability to call/text.

I know this is a few weeks old, but I have to say thank you for this. It worked perfectly for me, and rather than wait 48 hours for Verizon tech support to call me back, I was able to solve my own problem. Thank you, again.

Hey guys, when you provision does it wipe the entire phone, including the SD card? (internal SD card and external SD card)
stuck...
I tried all the above, stock, radios, kernels, codes, ##RTN#, none of it works, my radio works cause i tried 911 and it jumped on roaming and began to make call at which point of course i hung up before letting it connect any words of wisdom... at this point just a tablet for wifi

I have a galaxy note 2 on Verizon. This used to happen to me on CM 10.1 first stages but issue got fixed as the nightlies started. It only happened to me when I sometimes rebooted the phone or when the battery completely drained from 100-0% then when I would charge it and boot the phone it would show me an x and no signal bars. I would have to restore to a TW rom to get it to activate again but going into settings and switching to CDMA/LTE mode. Now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 2.99beta ROM and it still gives me that issue. Hopefully soon it will be fixed.:fingers-crossed:

Spoke too soon. I wanted to try Miui and backed up and then installe miui but it was flaky so I tried wiping and then restoring but Now I have the No radio problem back.
Even after I restore to a clean install I still get this issue.

Thank you buddy,
This helped me get my phone back in working order -- For those of you wondering why the "*2767*3855# is not working is because you are using the wrong flash. You must use "Official VRALG1 4.0.4" - and currently the link is down on the thread - I just googled it and found it elsewhere. I tried one of the other OTA's and it would not work. Also, do exactly as netskull described - even regarding the antenna. When using VRALG1 4.04 - The second i entered the last "hashtag (#)" it popped up another screen which helped get my phone working. I did not have to press send or anything. Kind of sucks that I lost all data on my internal card, but I DID back it up and now I will have to go through and restore. Since some people were wondering -- It did not mess with anything on the external card... It did unroot my device, however, so I will have to do that again as well.
For some reason, flashing the latest MIUI messed up my phone and put it in roaming all the time. Oh well, happy i got it working, and subscribed . Thanks once again Nertskull.

[Q] No Network Data After Flash Custom ROM

Kind of long, but it's just a difficult explanation, please read and try to help me. Thank you.
Okay, so I have a really weird problem, and I can't seem to fix it at all. I rooted my T-Mobile Galaxy S4, and had no problem with data loss, then I flashed Darthstalker, and everything went fine and it flashed but then I noticed that whenever I shut my screen down when I was on anything other than E or 4G LTE, the phone would lose network signal, but what was weird is that I could still receive texts and phone calls. In order to get the signal back though, I had to go change the data type, and then change it back to normal.
So, then I read that wiping the Dalvik and the regular cache would fix it, and it didn't. Then, I also tried flashing a different ROM (Wicked v9.1) which also didn't fix it. So, I flashed the stock firmware and just got rid of the root and the problem was gone. I even tried rerooting and just installing only Wicked first just to see if maybe Darthstalker corrupted something. But, it still had the same issue, so I just went back to stock again.
Can someone please help me fix this? I've looked everywhere and I can't really find anything to help me out with this.
Thank you in advance.
