Hey,
some more information would be useful Which android version do you have? Phone rooted? Which Rom?
Either way, try this: Go to settings --> applications --> all --> camera --> clear data
Maybe that will help already..
Yes please let us know which rom and kernel you are on.
THere was an issue before with some kernels but was fixed in newer roms. I still get this error when using NEAK 2.1.x so I switched kernels and everything is fine now.

Well, only one of your screenshots works.
I'd flash back a stock firmware and see if it works. If not, reset the flash counter and send it for service, should be covered under warranty. In fact, that's probably the first thing you should have done instead of flashing custom kernels.

If you want, it won't hurt. And depending on the state of your eMMC chip, it may end up being safer for you.
You can also find all firmwares (including 4.0.4) at www.sammobile.com.
Since you're on 4.0.4 though, make sure you do not do a full wipe/factory reset from recovery before flashing.

If your phone is "sane", don't worry about what I said regarding wiping. That was only a concern if you had a phone that was classified as "insane".

I did flash the old baseband, but am still stuck with no signal... am in real trouble, and now if I again switch to stock 2.3.3, then also I dont get a network coverage at all. Please help me buddies
And yes one more thing, even if I flash back the old stock froyo, via kdz or lgmdp, I cant get the network coverage ... the guy at LG service center says there's some problem with the board ... but I dont think its the board problem, is there any way to diagnose this issue or am I *ucked?

What ROM are you running on, Their are a few ROMs that haven't fixed network issues, If you are using a iHO ROM then have you tried the Airplane Mode Fix?
right now I have flashed stock gingerbread. that 'v20g' one. but if u say, i will switch to another rom whichever u say... I tried stock froyo, mik's cm7, and void.# forever's cm7. none of those fixes the signal, I even tried the new baseband patch provided by mik, not working :'(
What phone do you have. Do you have an optimus v,you have to use a ROM for it.

yes it is in warranty period, but still, they will take so many days... thats what service center guys do...
The Gsm/WCDMA data is really buggy on my phone.I switched 2-3 roms but it didn't solve the problem.
So i assume it is a hardware problem & thinking of taking it to the SE service centre.But my phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked using s1 tool.
So should i unroot it and relock the bootloader before giving it for servicing as i still have the warranty..
If yes.. Then how to unroot?
do a repair software with pc companion(that way you will remove root), and get clean stock rom.
after that check if you still have problems with signal, with clean rom.
if you still have problems, take it to servce center but before, relock it with s1tool, use restore button.
anw, what problems do you have?

Don't have any links with deep explanation.
Firmware and ROM are pretty much same things. Actually some people use firmware as name for stock ROM, meaning default OS which came from Sony Ericsson. While ROM is occasionally used as custom ROM, meaning someone changed few things.
Baseband, well to put it simple, the way people use it here(it's not same but not to far from original definition of baseband, as it's connected to signal), it's part of firmware which is responsible for your signal.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The data was not at all working... When i reboot the phone sometimes it works but most of the times it doesn't.... It was like a 1 in 100 chance of working...But after flashing .42 it seems to have solved the problem.
And does baseband have anything to do with the data as u have said it is responsible for the signal?
Well it could have something with signal. But I doubt that it would manifest like in your case. At least I hear it first time.
Actually, now when I read this thread again , you only said you had problems on custom ROM's? And since you are now ok on clean .42fw, which means your phone is ok. Problems are in those custom ROM's.
Now custom ROM's flash only system partition, at least the one I seen.
I'm not sure where is baseband is flashed, but I don't think custom ROM's touch it. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
What custom ROM's have you tried?

Actually i have again flashed NeoV_emann's rom and everything is well..
I had tried Se Tweaked,Aniking,NeoV_emman and the data suddenly stopped working..But i think i was on the .42 firmware and the last time i checked it was .62 firmware... So i assume that only the firmware had changed but not the baseband which could have causing the data problems
I've had no luck with wifi ever since I started trying out ICS builds.
So far I've restricted myself to leaked official builds. The phone just can't hold onto a damn wifi signal even when kept right next to the bloody access point.
Every few minutes it disconnects. Sucks when you're trying to download a huge update for a game.
I don't know if there's an official build out for India, I'm using DDLP8 which was marked as for Nepal. It's definitely stable, but wifi connectivity is totally useless .
I use Wifi Analyzer, and it shows up signal strength as pretty good, using automatic channels, and usually it latches onto channel 11 or 13. My other devices at home have never faced any such problem so it's definitely not a router problem.
Is there anything else to check for?
Edit: I'm using XXLPQ, not DDLP8 (which is the baseband version). My bad.
not familiar of ddlp8 as cant find it as sammobile / intratech
why dont you skip the leaked firmwares and just use the official ones.
also complete wipe your phone flash a GB stock and dont do anything else ...., no root no restores and see if it hold wifi.

It appears DDLP8 is a modem/baseband version. Not the build version. That's why you couldn't find it. But I'm just guessing. OP will have to confirm or deny that.

Yes, you're right. I am using XXLPQ for Nepal, after reading that the official Nepal build works fine on the Indian version of the S2. Sammobile still does not show any official build for India. Does this make a difference?
I saw the problem moments after I had flashed the ROM and rebooted, i.e. with a clean phone set to factory defaults (and rooted) - so I doubt it's due to any other program interfering.

Wifi drivers are in the kernel, I believe. What method did you use to root? Did you flash a kernel to achieve root? Try flashing a new kernel, or flashing a stock ICS kernel and see if your Wifi still drops after that.
Well, you can also give a try by flashing your baseband/modem itself and see it will be any better. You have few ones in this topic, all flashable via CMW :

Ok, thanks for your links mate, at least i ve learned something. So, he can also give a try by testing different kernels then.
still having issues, you have to do some work..... flashing kernels is not the solution! it should work as is!
1: using cwm format system, cache, data, dalvik
2: flash one of the newer GB Stock Roms get one from intratech, using odin.
3: dont root just see if it works without doing anything, keep it stock. no restores nothing
if it works, it will work on ICS too now.

Well, if you re-read some of the posts above, he said he rooted, but didn't say HOW he rooted. If he rooted by flashing a kernel, then that could be what is screwing with his wifi, depending on WHICH kernel he used. So flashing a different kernel MAY actually solve his problem.
To my experience this problem is most likely related to the kernel you are using. The latest siyah kernel supposingly rectifies this issue. Why dont you give it a try?
I did and saw a big difference...

Hi, i'm trying to upgrade my samsung s3 to the latest firmware and as my phone was rooted i tried to unroot in by installing a stock firmware. I first flashed this firmware xxx.sammobile.xxx/firmwares/3/?download=10895 (i have put xxx as i don't have enough posts to provide links) and it did not wipe any data, but after flashing it still said device status modified so i could not update.
So then i flashed another firmware xxx.sammobile.xxx/firmwares/3/?download=16495 (by clicking check your firmware) and this time it wiped all the data on the phone (i had made a backup of all important information).
Now when i go into to settings and try to update it says "the latest updates have already been installed" but in settings under android version it says "4.1.2"
Can someone help me with this please

Somewhere I read in this forum long time back - To try best of both worlds, Root + flash any AOSP rom + change bootanimation to samsung default + triangleaway => to eventually use custom rom but 'kind' of remain official. (although no kies support). I think the jist was if had to sent to repair center, the boot animation and triangle away would be sufficient for cover up.
U will have to flash back to stock then u can receive the ota or kies. I dun believe kies will update ur fone when u are on a custom rom. Easy way i always do is before flashing a custom rom, i do a nandroid back up and transfer it to my computer. Then flash the custom rom so when i wan to go back stock. Just flash the nandroid back up and wipe data and cache. And i am back to stock.

Somewhere I read in this forum long time back - To try best of both worlds, Root + flash any AOSP rom + change bootanimation to samsung default + triangleaway => to eventually use custom rom but 'kind' of remain official. (although no kies support). I think the jist was if had to sent to repair center, the boot animation and triangle away would be sufficient for cover up.

That comment was more related to bricking; may be when the phone gets stuck at boot logo.

The idea in the source was => if a phone gets bricked and it can't be booted and if it need to be taken to be repair center, then in that condition ideally one should have official status to avail warranty. Even if that is ok repair center team 'could' see the boot animation and if that too remains stock, that would be perfect cover up.
still if not clear.... nvm

Oh do u mean if the op flashes a custom rom, if he uses samsung boot animation. The warrenty will work? The prob is if it is bricked, u can just flash stock firmware. Well. I get it now lol xD it was just tat ur prev post. The first few words kinda 'misguided' me. U said to try the best of both worlds or sth arnd tat.

The fix for the device status is basically to unroot or temp unroot. It worked for me.

The wifi on my Samsung S3 GT-I9300 device won't work. It just toggles on/off/on/off when I attempt to turn it on. I purchased the phone with the following already installed on it:
CWM
SuperSU
Android Version 4.2.2
Kernel Version - (says here in the about screen) 3.0.31-611730
Build number - Omega v45 - XXUFME3
I've done a LOT of searching here on XDA but I just find myself lost in a world of information. I found a video on youtube, but it's for the S4 and doesn't offer links to the correct files for the S3. Some have told me flash a new ROM and other a new Kernel, but because of version numbers, and not wanting to brick this phone... i'm not sure where to start...
Please would someone be willing to help me out? I am living in Honduras and the service I use is prepay here.. wifi is a HUGE money savings for me here. Many thanks to whoever is willing...
If it is an i9300 then download a stock firmware from sammobile that will work in your country (3G signal). Follow the guide in general forum on how to flash. Factory reset in recovery before first boot.
Test wifi before you install or restore anything, if still the same then it's a hardware fault.

download the stock rom from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31792 it's from switzerland, but has the latest built number so it's the newest for your device
Flash it via Odin3.09

Thanks for the direction!! I downloaded the file, however when I attempt to open it with WinRAR i'm getting this error message..
"! C:\Users\Heather\Desktop\I9300XXUGND5_I9300AUTGNE1_AUT (1).zip: Unexpected end of archive"
I did an internet search for other places to seek out firmware for a GT-I9300 4.2, but so many results come up speaking to a leaked version of Samsungs firmware. I'm not sure that's a safe route to take...
any ideas on what I might be able to do?
have you flash it via odin?
you can get the odin here https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
for detail you can watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVLyjeqPtn0
i hope it would help you mate

Unexpected end of file means you have a corrupt download. Just download the firmware file again. If all else fails, look for a post in the S3 General thread regarding a complete back to stock method.

Ok...
So i've successfully flashed the stock ROM file that was provided to me in the link above by "Tkkg1994"
The versions and software in my phone is all different than before, but the wifi still won't turn on. I click the button to turn on wifi... it thinks for about 3 seconds and then just switches back to the off position.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong? or what I might be able to try now?
Thank you so much for all the help up till now.. I hope i'm giving out the right amount of thanks and credit to you all. I really hope I can resolve this!

Wifi is related to kernel if you have changed roms ( which also changes kernel) then most likely it is hardware fault you could try flashing just a custom kernel and if the problem is still there then it is most likely hardware issue.

Yikes. Two words I was definitely hoping it was not.
Well.. I suppose it couldn't hurt to attempt a custom kernel, so the next question would be... any advice on which kernel I should attempt, and how exactly do I flash a kernel?
Thank you again for the help!

You need a custom recovery(Philz touch), flash it through odin. Than download googymax2 and copy it to your sd card. Than enter in recovery mode and flash the kernel.

Ok so I've done both those things, and was successful!!
Is there some setting or something I need to change, or would just having installed these files fixed my wifi issue if in fact it wasn't a hardware issue?

No Tkkg1994
I realize now my previous message gave off that impression. Unfortunately the wifi is still doing the same thing. Is there in fact anything else that might I be able to do??

Maybe a clean new install of your rom? In philz touch recovery select "clean to install a new rom". than install it. after that, wipe cache and dalvik cache
