[Q] Galaxy S3 no mobile network after Installing Custom ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I Installed latest Omega ROM and ever since I have no mobile network data connection. Phone does work, wifi too.
APN is set, I tried several advices posted here and similar webs but no results so far.
I tried to install the modem.bin original from my mobile provider and nothing.
I tried ARIZA´s patch and nothing. IMEI has not changed.
Tried several wipes and format system/data/cache. Nothing.
Running out of ideas here, besides that, phone seems to work fine.
Help!

HI.
I got the same issue on Omega AOKP v2, and with an old version of ResurectionRemix. Nothing to do, just wipe&flash a newer version.
Sorry for you

Got the same issue here. Posted on forum and no reply yet. Omega v56.

Try flashing other roms.

[Q] Trouble with WIFI

Since a picture, and in this case a video, paints a thousand words -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCkKkkukujI
Here I present to you my dilemma.
Before you ask, the phone is rooted, running cm7.1 nightly.
At the time of recording my modem is KI3.
I have tried about 4 modems, in the K family and no luck yet.
I cant put my finger on exactly the time this happened, but somewhere in the past 3-4 days and nothing significant happened to spawn it. (ie I wasn't changing roms or anything of that sort.)
Every modem I put on does the exact same as the video.
However generally the first boot after a flash, the wifi tends to connect, next boot = no go.
I have also used 'gs2blitzer v1.6' which is a script to clean out old kernel files and temporary bits n pieces between flashes.
So any helpful suggestions you have will be appreciated.
Do a backup with ClockWorkMod and then flash another kernel. (siyah, for example).

I just flashed siyah as you suggested, no luck.
Still does exactly that in the video I posted earlier.

Tried a full-wipe?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
are you using the i9100 or a t-mobile branded or other variant?
did you have the problem before you flashed the new rom?
im using wanamlite ics 9.1 rom using the XXLPH kernel and my wifi works fine. XXLPH is still beta i think btw
Yes it has been wiped numerous times.
Wiping individual partitions from cwm, wiping dalvik, using the cleaning script to clear old kernel stuff..
And yes it worked prior - if you read my first post, nothing happened for it to stop working. There was no flash involved to stop it working.
Oh and its an international I9100.
Some extra info on the subject.
Disconnecting and deleting the AP, restart phone, it will then connect.
If i disable wifi then re-enable it, it wont connect.
Stuck in the loop of Scanning, connecting, disconnecting, over and over...

Hello every one

I had the same problem, but I did flash root and a custom kernel.
I am not sure which one caused it, but after I flashed CM9 it solved itself.
I also performed, factory wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe.
i was thinking CF i will try it tommrrow with CM9
did you try to get back to stock and see if problem still?
Had this today actually .
I went into wireless&Networks > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Providers. Let it do its thing and then selected at&t since I'm in the states and boom it worked. Hope this helps.

Dev

Like I said in the OP, After doing that it works no problem now. Give it a try. Its like it needs to register with the carrier.

I tried with CM9 and tried choosing the network operation explicitly but no luck.
I bought it only last week so O2 is happy to take it back.
I will get a replacement soon.
Thanks,
Dev

Flashed back to CM9 and ended up with same problem.
Flashed back to stock rom downloaded from samfirmware.com
And voila....it works.

Yes This resolved my problem.
My problem happened when i installed Moddy ROM V11 which will update Modem also. Then i tried flashing different modem still no luck data all works fine. On *#0*# gave no indication of hardware faulty. Then i flashed stock ROM for singapore via odin still on change in status. Then i again tried other modems by rooting again. Finally searched on XDA and this simple trick helped Thanks a ton. :good::victory:

No 4G data connection

Hi. I just Odin'ed back to stock firmware after experiencing no 4G data, only Edge, after flashing the Tmobile recovery through Rom Manager while on CM9 nightly #2. I had wiped and reflashed CM9, with no luck. I thought Odin'ing would fix the problem but it did not. I also tried removing the SIM card for a couple of minutes. Anyone have any suggestions what i could try? Thanks
Update: So far flashing CWM recovery using Rom Manager has set the IMEI to 0, on mine and MacTheRipperr's phone.
Anyone else with similar issues after flashing recovery through Rom Mananger?

Are you sure it wasn't a Tmobile problem? Maybe you should try other kernels and/or roms... I'm using AOKP on my Galaxy S since february and on my Galaxy SIII since June 19th, I haven't experienced any problems with mobile data, the link is below.
I hope it works.

Check your imei under the phone status. Do you have a 0? If so the same thing happened to me.
Do you have a back up of your /efs from the root?

Thank you for your response. I'm 99% sure it's not a Tmobile problem. I didn't have any issues with mobile data at all. This happend soon after i rebooted after flashing the tmobile Rom Manager custom recovery. First thing it did was give no signal connection at all. Then i reflashed the CM9 rom, which then was only able to get Edge network. Even after Odin'ing do i still only get Edge. I haven't tried a custom kernel yet. With certain devices, I've known of issues with modem's are sometimes fixed by flashing a standalone modem rather than going through the whole Odin process. But that isn't an option that is available for the T999 varient.

Yes it reads 0 and no i do not have an /efs backup. The root process I used was the Sprint root zip file flashing CWM and root using Odin. I wasn't aware of a backup that was made. After Odin'ing back to stock, i did the same root method and have flashed Redrum Lean Stock Mod which im currently on. Where would i find the /efs if this method did make a backup of it?
Question for curiosity s sake did you flask the cwm touch recovery
You should backup your EFS folder before flashing any rom, if you'd lost your IMEI you will have problems with mobile data and/or phone service.
I've found two topics about it here, the first one has a link to recover Tmobile and the second is more general. I hope it works!

You guys are freaking me out about losing IMEI. Thankfully mine is fine after rooted and flashing several ROMs.
How do I backup my EFS folder?
/sigh re-read all the imei threads, there's like 10 of them. Backing up the efs folder will not help you at all. The nv data.bin file is not there anymore and nobody has found it yet. Your only option is odin back to stock, take your phone back to where you bought it, and say this POS broke and i can't get lte even though i paid for it. If you're still under warranty hopefully they will replace it.

Keep "searching for GPS...."

I am sure that my GPS worked well last 2 days but out of nowhere it just got stuck at searching for GPS forever and unable to locate my current location. My phone is rooted and previously on SlimROM 3.0. At first I thought it was some apps screwed up my GPS config file then I upgraded to SlimROM 3.1, but to no avail. I tried wiping all 3 data/cache/dalvik cache.. and installed rootbox (one of the older roms I used most and steady) before switched to SlimROM via naidroid backup.
Still.... not fixing anything. Tried other solutions suggested in other threads such as downloading fasterFix, GPS Test, GPSfix... still couldnt detect anything! Could it be hardware failure???
:crying:

If you tried SW solutions and they don't change anything - well, the answer should be obvious.
You can try and see if it's antenna contacts issue. Especially if you dropped the phone prior to it happening.
Try the Pimp My Rom thing.

[Q] Weird issues Cm11 / Stock

Hi there,
My SIII i9300 has been rooted and flashed with CM from CM 10.x to 11.x. Hoewever, recently it started to not give any audio during voice calls trough the normal mic. Speakers do work.
So, i've tried reflashing, clearing cache / dalvik etc. To no avail.
I then tried stock rom and for some reason this seems to do the trick.
As i'm not really a great fan of the Samsung bloatware and the 'awesome' skin overlay of samsung i would like to fix this issue.
I also tried some different roms to no avail. ( Also, i installed cm 10.2 because that used to be working fine)
I then tried installing different modems via CWM and ODIN. (BUELK1) and (CEEL1). It's a dutch phone on vodafone.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Btw, currently i'm running CM 11 nightly see below. Android 4.4.2
My baceband is currently i9300CEELL1
Kernel version 3.0.64-CM-gb1c5066
CM 11-20140228
greetinges, Volc
Try installing the ROM before wiping everything, including System ( data is recommended, as long as you don't have something important not backed up). And with 4.4 try to use MK6 modem or higher.

Hi Andry!
Many thanks for your reply. So I should turn back stock, install cm and that mk6 without wiping? I'm not sure if cm will install without the wipe..
The mk6 modem, do you have any clue where to search it?
Regards,volc

I thought you found the modems on www.boeffla-kernel.de . You can find them in the Download section. Also, if you are on CM11 (or any other ROM actually), you should download the ROM tog want to flash on your external SD Card, reboot into recovery, wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and data, flash the ROM, reboot system and use it for a few moments at least ( I would recommend you do that so that you won't get bootloop). Then, reboot into download mode, connect phone to Odin and flash the ROM. I would recommend wipe shading cache and dalvik cache, just for a flawless experience.

I saw this phone firsthand. (Hi volcomoo!)
The roms were flashed OK, double triple quadruple wiping probably wont make any difference.
The weird thing is that with CM installed there seems to be a hardware issue, when we flash the phone back to stock, everything works. I guess the developers will say "logcat or it didn't happen"....
