[Q] Rebooted my phone and now no data network

Aside from my issue of apps going missing when rebooting...some even when copied right to phone memory...I am now stuck at work and rebooted my phone to find that I now have no data coverage. Internet does not work. I can call and txt and that is it.
I am running a flashed Infuse with Bionix Infinity V2 build. Firmware 2.2.1, Baseband 1997UCKE3, and Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 if that helps. I flashed it a couple days ago and this is the first time i've had this issue. I have not installed anything today either that could have created some kind of conflict. I called ATT just to make sure I still have a data plan in case some weird stuff happened and somehow got taken off and I do.
Is there anything I can try to possibly get this working asap? Thanks in advance!

Go into settings>wireless and network>mobile network and be sure to turn the packet data ON (enable packet data) It would not hurt to even turn on/enable DATA Roaming
Good luck with it...
If all fails seeing that you have other issues besides the internet/data I guess you will need to use the "Ultimate Unbrick".
I know your fone is NOT bricked but this Ultimate Unbrick method is the only one I know of which will revert your phone to 100% stock retail condition so you can have a fresh start with a 100% working phone.

Thanks, the packet data was already turned on. I tried on/off/on and rebooted again as well. I may just end up reverting to stock and trying again although it would suck to lose everything. It's odd that I haven't messed with anything today and was working earlier. I am hoping it is just a problem in the area but I can txt/call just fine.

I'm working the graveyard shift too..this couldn't have come at a worse time.
EDIT: AT&T says there is an outage in my area and to wait about an hour.

Pretty sure I am going to just do the ultimate unbrick now...I lost another 4 apps when rebooting just now. I need to know if I need to return my phone or not before my 30 days is up. It did this even before rooting my phone and I move all my apps to internal phone memory.

No 4G at all

I have an s3 that I flashed to CM10, AOKP 6 and I also tried synergy. I cannot seem to get LTE on the first 2 adn with synergy, I can only get it by using the phone info thing and switching to an LTE ONLY mode. I noticed when I was stock I didnt see it going to LTE either. is this a problem with it switching over or what? When I try to switch to the LTE ONLY mode on the other 2 roms, I get no connection at all.
Any ideas? Is the phone toast? I am an experienced flasher, as I am coming from a galaxy nexus lte and am a crack flasher. Before each rom, I wiped data, cache, dalvik and system.
anyone have ideas? I am at a loss.
thanks
edit: I also noticed that on CM10 and AOKP the activation fails, and I can skip it. My phone number shows up as unknown but I have an IMEI number

Change to CDMA/LTE Auto

I did that and I noticed no change. I only have 3g

I'm having the same problem, I think. When I switch to an LTE option in phone info, it doesn't stay that option. it goes back to CDMA auto.
Can you just go to the verizon store and ask for a new one? Do they need to see your phone or anything like that, that will tell them its rooted?

I was afraid and flashed back to stock before taking it in, but the sim card thing is common. so just say you were told by customer service to come in and get a new sim and they will set you up. if you dont feel like going to the store, customer service will overnight you one, pretty much no questions asked. so its no big deal

This is a common problem... i had it too with synergy 1.2. The phone info app was stuck gets stuck on cdma . I had to flash the stock image through odin and flash synergy again. No new sim cards are required

Check your baseband then head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313 then flash a different radio.. meaning if you running LF2 then flash LG1 and vice versa. After i changed the modem i boot up into 3g went into phone info and chose lte only and 4g turned on.
When it happened to me i was running synergy (LG1-radio)...jellybomb theme..so there must be an issue there . i think its the jellybomb theme since it was made for sprint users

Pop up dialer, type *2767*3855#
and it will reset your 4G by fixing the SIM card - and immediately reboot. I've had the problem twice, and both times this key sequence fixed it. :highfive:

So a friend of mine was having the same issue. No 4G in an area I know he has full 4G signal. I reflashed the unrooted stock image in Odin (he was already stock, rooted, unlocked with cwm 6.xx) and still no dice. I tried flashing both radios, no dice. Also tried the dialing above to reset everything, nothing. Finally I gave up and told him to take it in into a store and they replaced the sim card and it worked! We then rerooted, unlocked, flashed cwm and all was good.
However, I asked him what all he had originally done after getting the phone so that we could try to take it step by step and see what caused it. I installed TiBu and lucky patcher as he had previously done (I don't condone pirating, espeically this great app but I wanted to try and recreate the issue) and it broke it, no 4G! I think the culprit was lucky patcher; I highly doubt TiBu could cause it as I have had no trouble with it. Only other rooted app he installed was adblock but again, I use this all the time with no troubles. I told him to just pay for the app! But I am still interested if anyone else might have had the same issue so we could try to prevent it for others? Any of you above who lost 4G did you by chance use lucky patcher?
Edit: Also, i noticed that I put the phone in 4G LTE only mode using phone info the 4G LTE symbol pops up but there are no signal bars. However, it appears as if there is signal since data speeds work fine and at normal LTE for this area so just the bars are screwed up, and then something with the hand off when switching back to normal off LTE only? Anyone else exeriencing this or have you tried to see if you actually have LTE even though you have no bars?

Same crap on my white 16gb gs3. Ridiculous data connections.

I have a replacement coming. They sent it a week ago and I got it yesterday and they sent me a nexus. Maybe its a sign to go back to the good ol gnex. They resent a gs3 so if the new one doesn't fix it I'm going to keep the gnex they sent and cut my loss

Text and Calls not working after switching roms

I installed beanstown rom in clockwork recovery and everything was working fine. I then decided to try the latest synergy rom and everything worked great as well untill I realized that I could no longer respond to text messages. I did flash the text message bug fixer in clockwork ahead of time. I also noticed that I couldn't make any phone calls. I then restored my previous backup with beanstown rom and problem carried over.
Any ideas?

Go into your system settings ---> About Device ---> Status, and see if your IMEI number is a 0 or a whole bunch of numbers.

Odin back to stock unrooted, and see if that fixes your issue

Im downloading it now. I am away from home and using a slow hotel internet. This phone has some very large files compared to my old Droid X. I got about 40 mins to go on my download and in the meantime keep trying everything possible and trying to find someone else that had a similar issue.

Okay so used odin with back to stock unrooted file and after it came up I could make a call but data was stuck at 1x with no 3g. I wiped data/factory reset and now I am not getting data, phone or text to work.
I have since tried to reseat the sim card and rebooted numerous times.
Anything else that might work? I can't find anyone else that had a similar problem online and am now thinking I gotta take my phone to the verizon store tomorrow and possibly get a new sim card.

Please help with a flashing mess

I had previously rooted, unlocked and put a custom bootloader on my S3. I was enjoying Beans 10, but wanted to try Slimbeans. I got the initial .zip of Slimbeans installed, but the AIO .zip kept failing, so I had a useless device. Interestingly, I could not boot to recovery. My computer wasn't recognizing my stock Verizon ROMs. I was able to eventually download root66 and Odin that onto my phone, but when it starts up, it gets stuck at the Verizon 4G/LTE screen and never gets passed it. I have pulled the battery and turned the phone on several times, but get the same result. I thought I'd try another Odin attempt, but when I hold down the vol. down/power/home keys and then select the vol. up, I very briefly see the android guy and then then phone reboots. Please help, I'm stuck!

Well, I downloaded a different stock ROM and got that installed. In the meantime, I had to use my iPhone 4 as a backup. When I contacted Verizon to switch me back to the S3, it shows me as roaming. The tech was no help. Anyone with an idea?

Check network settings. Make sure you are on SIM and not NV

Thanks for the reply. GrainOSand, I had missed this.
I got the stock ROM flashed and thought I was good. The tech's were no help, but told me I needed a new SIM card. I went to my local Verizon store, got the card, the guy there tried to get my S3 going again, but couldn't.
Now, it acts like it is in a loop. It starts the Startup Wizard and very soon I just get the circle spinning and it tries to call the network. I Odin'd the ROM again with the same effect. I have a new phone that is supposed to be here tomorrow, but my Flash counter is at 1. Anyone know how I can get this thing working enough to use Triangle Away?

So, am I asking retarded questions, or is there really no answer?

At the wizard, try tapping all four corners clockwise, starting at the upper left to bypass the activation screen.

You need to root the phone then install and run triangle away to get rid of the flash count http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 then odin back to stock
Also Im pretty sure you can simply odin to either the F2 or G1 ICS builds then type this in the dialer to fix the roaming issue as long as your imei is still intact.... *2767*3855#
No need to have the phone replaced, easily fixable

[Q] 4G LTE Not Working

Guys I've tried searching and tried damn near anything I can think of/find here on XDA and other sites.
Over the weekend I got a little sick of my GPS not locking on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535. I was running CleanRom 7 and I believe I was on MB1 - I could be wrong on the basebad that I was on.
Anyways, after doing my normal reading to see what the latest and greatest things going on are I decided I wanted to do a complete wipe like I'd done in the past, update to MF1 firmware, update my radio to ML1, then put a fresh install of CleamRom 7 on there.
So I used to did a format of my external SD then a factory wipe/reset & cache wipe in CWR. I then went directly into Odin mode (Home Button/Volume Down/Power) and flashed the root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2.7z from this thread. I installed EzUnlocker and RomManager. I unlocked the phone, then flashed CWR. I first did a factory wipe/reset, I then flashed the MF1 firmware, followed by the ML1 radio, and finally Clean Rom 7.
Everything was fine except my 4G LTE would not turn on - 3G works fine but no 4G LTE. I've tried everything I could possibly think of. I've flashed to the prerooted MA2 linked above in Odin. I've tried the 2-3 suggestions in this thread, I've tried making my own APN settings, I've tried the thread which has links for people who are returning their phone to Verizon (plain jane stock). Nothing. All of those bring me the same result: Everything works perfectly fine, but the 4G LTE never shows up. It doesn't matter where I am - I know it is not a network outtage as people in the office have no issues and I always have a connection here and at home.
I've already ordered a new SIM card which should show up tomorrow but did I miss anything? I tried everything I could think of. As of right now I'm back at square one where I'd gone back to MA2, flashed MF1 + ML2 firmware, and back on Clean Rom 7. Stuck with 3G. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just Odin flashed the VRALG1 4.0 ICS to bring it back to stock found here in Section 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. Still no luck.
Am I correct in saying when flashing that it is also flashing the modem/firmware? I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I had the same problem not too long ago. My issue was the PRL usually 4G PRL starts with 15xxx but if you go into settings-->about phone-->status you should check to see whether it is a 15xxx or 3xxxx. If the latter a new sim card should fix it right up.
