[Solved] No service after trying CM (Straight Talk) - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
So I decided to try out CM 12.1 on my S968C phone. I then reverted back to the original firmware through a TWRP recovery backup. The problem is that I now do not have any service. In the About Phone settings the IMEI number is correct, but both the phone number and network type are unknown.
Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this?
The only thing that I can think of is that CM might have flashed a custom modem firmware that was not restored.by the backup (this is just a wild guess).
Is there any way that this can be fixed?
Thanks!

As long as you have that TWRP backup on the external SD card, you will need to do a factory reset. Go to Settings... Backup & Reset... then do a Factory data reset. This has worked for me and a few others in the past. It will wipe your phone to where you will need to set it up again. You should now have service, so reboot into TWRP and restore your backup. That way you won't have to go thru installing all your apps again - they will be in your backup.

Ok, thanks!
I'll try this.

[Solved] Possible corrupt IMEI

I'm currently running a SynergyROM r64 nand and my lte doesn't seem to work. I checked my IMEI in phone info -> stats and it's the same as before I flashed CM10 beta 9/3 build. Could flashing CM10 have corrupted my IMEI? Before I flashed, I entered su reboot nvbackup from andriod terminal to backup my IMEI so idk if that's the problem or not. I also have a Qualcomm backup, but I shouldn't need to restore it if I already have my IMEI saved correct? Or should I just Odin back to stock?

If his IMEI is intact, then there's no reason to restore an IMEI backup or anything. Toying with it could have negative consequences. Since it seems like phone info isn't working, flash to stock through ODIN. You can make a backup prior if you want. If that doesn't work, reprovision your phone via *2767*3855# . That will wipe your entire internal SD so back up anything you want.

Thank you sir! Reprovisioning did the trick. Would it be possible to use this with SynergyROM or CleanRom, or is this method strictly stock? I got my 4G lte back by dialing *2767*3885# from root66 stock touch wiz.

You shouldn't have to do it again unless you have problems. Just flashing a Rom will not do it unless something goes wrong. It should work on clean because that is a stock Rom, I have not tested it though nor have I read where anyone else has. Good luck!

It depends. Some of the ROMS cut out stuff that makes the number not work properly. I only know it works for sure on stock, and is unlikely to work on CM, but maybe other TW roms will allow it to work also.
Sometimes you have to put a # dialing command into your contact list and it will work from there.

MY IMEI is intact. I have 4G LTE data and WIFI. I only cannot make or receive calls. The phone acts like its making a call but never connects. The phone eventually hangs up after about 30 seconds.

My guess is when you NV restored you messed something up that's responsible for your data that isn't imei related.
I really have no idea where to even start with that, and I saw no reference to NV restore in that post anywhere. If you made an IMEI backup before all this happened, restoring that might restore all of your NV data restoring your text and data calls. I would guess you could theoretically fix it with qpst, but I really have no idea.
You can try to odin back to an ics rom and reprovision the phone, that could rewrite your NV data.

Im having the exact same problem. Reflashed it to stock and took it in to VZW to see if they could replace or fix, but they don't have any authority to do that and if I send it in, the techs might determine that I changed the "root", thus voiding my warranty.
My current work-around fix is to use my google voice number and Groove IP to make calls

My guess is that is what happened to my cell. Called Verizon, and they were unable to do anything to fix this and sent me a replacement S3 that I just received today. I unrooted and reset my flash counter yesterday on my old S3 so I can send it back.
Unless you made a backup of your nvram before you did the NV rebuild, my guess is you are probably going to have to replace your S3 like I just had did to since it made and screwed up some network settings on your cell.
I did the same thing to my wife's phone last night (oops) now she can't make any calls today.
anyone find a fix yet?
edit: 1st - I know the info now appears to have been removed from that post. I actually did the rebuild from memory as i read it a week or so ago.
Everything worked, IMEI intact except she couldn't make calls.
So right after it was found i did a nvbackup on both our phones.
decided to try the restore options and see if that helped.
sure enough downloaded term, su - reboot nvrestore and the phone sat at the sgs3 boot screen.
hmmm
forced it into recovery, wiped, reloaded. everything is working fine now.
The reason i did this is because her GPS locking was poor. and i had previously did the tighten the screws trick and thought it couldn't be that.
well after everything was working, GPS still didn't. I gave all the screws a turn and wouldn't you know - GPS locked right away.. *sigh*
sooo the lessons for others is
1st don't do the nvrebuild
2nd for GPS locking issues try your screws 1st
3rd if you are in this mess AND you did an nvbackup early on. nvrestore should get you going again
As soon as I start having GPS issues I call Verizon and give them hell because I have already replaced 2 phones because of GPS issues. Luckily this last phone has been spot on. I never would reset the nv.

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?

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!!

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] Any way to recover lost EFS?

Ok, so I probably know the answer to this already :crying:
Brief story - stock rooted ROM with custom kernel. Made backup with TWRP. Flashed stock boot,img and system.img in fastboot, flashed downloaded update from 4.4 -> 4.4.2 in recovery. Wiped cache and dalvik - started but recovery locked up. Had to hold power to reboot phone. Booted fine but no network, no IMEI, no baseband.
And no I don't have and EFS backup
I take it the phone is now buggered.
Is there anything I can do to fix this??
Appreciate anything that might help this.

In his case, if he just does what I said to do he'll be fine. He didn't lose his EFS, he rebooted in the middle of a cache wipe and his partitions got messed up. Updating TWRP and wiping the cache again will set everything straight. This is a fairly common issue with older versions of TWRP.

Thanks for the help guys. Got it up and running again more by accident than anything. Seems like MetalHead was correct, the partition was fine but just not readable. Unfortunately in order to get up and running again I flashed all the stock images in flasboot and did a full factory reset in the stock recovery which fixed the problem. Sounds like I could have done without the full wipe after all but at least it's all fixed now.
As for backing up the EFS, lesson learned. I had the 1st official TWRP on the phone which had no option for EFS backup like the current one. Guess what I'll be doing right now??
Anyway, happy man again and thanks to all that replied :good:
I must apologize for saying its not 100% but the truth is I had the exact same thing happen and no stock or fast boot cache fixed it I'm living proof that it works for the masses but under rare circumstances this just doesn't solve it oh man how I wish this would've fixed mine I been using a inspire 4g its killing me I feel like I jumped out of a beemer and landed in a pinto lol

LG IMS stopped responding error

So my friend just rooted his phone and decided to uninstall LG IMS (without knowing what it was). He was using Titanium Backup. He had made a backup for it and all. Now the phone is having issues and even though he tried restoring the app, it won't budge. Any trick to this? He has a locked bootloader and no recovery with TWRP or CWM installed (of which I told him to do before he deleted anything). Any way this can be fixed? If he does a factory reset from the settings menu, will it restore everything (including the IMS file) and be fine, or since it has been rooted, will that not do?
Or I guess is there any way to install a custom rom onto it so that that issue will be resolved since possibly the IMS will not be needed?
Is it possible to install autorec and have it restore to stock ROM?

Thanks. I found it and I'll show it to him. Hopefully we can get it to work.
Only question I have for you is -- do we need to have an unlocked bootloader?

Thanks. At least now I won't have to go through the headache of unlocking his bootloader.
We'll follow your guide and hopefully get it back and working.
