S3 NOT Turning On WIFI - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a problem with my s3, since the upgrade to version 4.3 from 4.1 via OTA wifi it stopped working in 4.1 worked fine and when I upgrade to 4.3 stopped working, I flash, wipes, back to 4.1 , 4.2, put custom ROMS as omega, cyanogenmod and not work, it always stays at Turning on and ever on, not how to solve this problem try everything really, I am currently in version 4.3 and I still have the problem, here attached an image.

Did you try flashing back to a stock TW rom? Some signal issues were fixed for me when I restored back to stock, let gps lock, then set up custom rom.

I put the stock rom and the same thing happens with the custom also, you say that you install rom?

when some of the lte builds I was running played havock on my signal setting, reception and such, the only fix was to revert back to stock (for my phone), update the boot loader and modem, then try the custom again. Im speaking from the experience of the ATT I747, but I imagine it could be similar with the international version of the s3.

You did everything, flash a lot of roms and none is solved

How to fix WiFi on CM 10 or MIUI based Roms?

Hey guys
Everytime I flash CM 10, MIUI based roms or any kind of rom thats based on 4.1.1 (except the Samsung JB Leaks) I can't get Wifi signals. It just says "connecting" or something like that. Than it says not connected! WPA2 Key is 100% right. Is there any fix without flashing firmwares with odin?

Install an ICS ROM first, connect to WiFi, and then flash CM10/MIUI

Is correct.
Flash stock ics via odin, root then flash your chosen rom as normal and youll have wifi.

You can't fix it without reverting what the leak JB ROMs have done.
Use this method. Proven to work.
Revert to ICS using wanamlite 2.3 ICS
I did it for mine and both wifi and NFC worked.
Steps:
1. Download wanamlite rom from http://netkups.com/?d=50f3150065651
(Download the torrent and then put it on your SGS3 SD card)
2. Make a nandroid backup of your current nightly from cwm
3. Wipe and factory reset
4. Install the wanamlite ROM from your SD card and boot up as usual.
5. After boot up and set up go to WiFi turn it on and try to connect to any network. Also turn our NFC on and off to make sure it works.
Go to settings and make sure your baseband version ends with "XXLH1"
IF ALL CHECKS!,
6. Boot into recovery and wipe/factory reset, install CM10 again or restore the nandroid back up you made.
*if you don't wipe/factory reset you might get bootloops"
7. After boot up and set up of your cm10, go to WiFi and connect. It will work. Also play around with NFC.
Your baseband version will remain "XXLH1"
Done!
Don't install JB leaks if you want to keep this alive for future cm10 nightlies.

I'd like some more info if you know.
What version android is it running?
Is the phone rooted or running a custom rom?
Does the phone boot up and run at all?
What version android is it running?
I have tried different roms the current one is supernexus 4.2.2 and the last was PA 3.5#. PA seemed to run the best so far
Is the phone rooted or running a custom rom?
Rooted w/ custom rom
Does the phone boot up and run at all?
Yes and for the most part it worked fine, it just rebooted randomly.
I have tried a bunch of other ROMs as well but they seem to crash a lot / random reboot more.
I installed the ROMs myself (I know how to do it) and he never touched the system, when I installed I used TWRP 2.5.0.0 deleted cache, system, factory reset installed rom and cleaned cache afterwards.
He has a bell Galaxy Note - i717 which is calle QunicyATT i believe.
One partially unresolved issue with the 4.2.2 roms are random reboots, due to the kernel they have been building with.
There are some stable rom-kernel combinations available.

Any you suggest?
I use stock, for greatest stability. I value that above all the other features.
No opinion on 4.2.2.

It doesn't need to be 4.2.2, just anything stable and minus TW crap.
What TouchWiz crap?
You can use the debloated stock and change to any launcher.
I have to chime in and say ... ics Gubment Cheeze was ALWAYS as stable as stock for me ... yes I am very partial to it But it is fact .. but any ics rom should do the trick for you ... (but Cheeze is best) .. best of luck

Please confirm if your SMS working properly and instantly

I always have problem with sms, love the phone. So please confirm you have working sms and it delivers instantly to your phone after someone text you. if this is problem with my phone, then I will buy a new one.
No matters how I had tried, clean or dirty install 5.0 or 4.4 ROM, factory reset, wipe everything, I still have problem with delayed message whenever someone text me. I take at least 5-10' for message arrive. everything else including sending message, receive call from someone or calling are fine.
it happens to all AOSP ROM but stock ROM. it works fine on any stock ROM.
Thanks for your help

Swapping phones probably won't help. I don't run custom ROMs, but I have read of others having this issue on custom ROMs.
It is what it is I think. The custom ROMs still have issues to work out, especially when it comes to LP.
Mine is fine.
Did a dirty flash of Jasmine.
Works Fine Here

Yeah! there is no problem with SMS at all if you running Stock custom ROM
But if I install CM ROM 11, 12 I will have that problem and so frustrated.

What modem are you on? I'm using the 12B modem from the latest update and I never have any issues with cellular service or SMS/MMS. I did have issues on Lollipop until I flashed the new modem, and since then, everything has been great. Also, make sure your data mode is set to LTE (recommended) and not Global unless you specifically need this.
I've had no problem at all and i've tried all the custom roms....i currently use 12b radio

I've found its an asop lollipop ROM issue I had the same problem on every lollipop ROM I flashed so I went back to stock based ROMs and no problems since I think until the official ota lollipop update comes out for us US users were going to have issues in one way or another it's just the way it is

I've had 12B modem since before flashing AOSP, and I consistently had SMS problems using Lollipop roms, including CM12. I've always had to go back to modified stock ROM after a day. This past Friday I installed latest CM12 nightly, and finally SMS is working as it should. BTW, I've made it a point to clean flash every time.
Wow you're right. My first time on rom in two years. On illusion. And my sms is about 45-60 seconds behind. Good thing I use hangouts more than anything these days....

[Q] Mobile Network not available after Flashing to custom ROM

Hi guys,
This is my first time posting a thread in here. I need your help.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100.
Baseband version: I9100XXKI3
(screenshots attached for more info)
I rooted my phone By using Odin3-v1.85. and flashed the recovery to cwm 5.x (i can't remember version) and tried to install custom ROM OMNI
(omni-5.0.2).
I accidently downloaded and installed OMNI for i9100G version. But my phone is i1900 version.
(I downloaded this omni-5.0.2-20141222-i9100g-HOMEMADE.zip ). i forgot to backup previous ROM .
Then i was unable to Turn ON my phone because every time i turn it on, it come back to recovery it self (it's a bootloop i think).:crying::crying:
then i flashed the recovery to CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100 (version 6.0.2.7) and installed custom ROMs and tried (PACMAN,CM,AICP).
It works fine. everything is just perfect. But i can't make calls or receive.
It says "Mobile Network not available". when i call my phone from another phone i hear ringing it. But nothing shows in my phone. after few seconds i got a Missed call Alert. But this happens only sometimes. All the other times. i cannot call it from another phone.
I tried reset and flash modem using CWM as well as from odin. but no luck.
Please Friends Help me. I don't know whether i put this thread to right section or not. sorry about that.
I did all of these things by surfing XDA forum (as a Guest). And i'm happy about what you guys are doing. Keep it up.:good::good:
(sorry for bad english)
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

May be the problem with kernal.

You will have to flash stock 4.1.2 rom or try a 4.1.2 custom rom. The problem may be caused by the drivers in the built in kernels but I'm not completely sure.
No mobile network on custom roms
I have already flashed the 4.1.2 jellybean rom but 4.1.2 rom also havr bugs. Lock screen doesn't work, I had tried hard resetting but it doesn't solve the problem. I Want use 5.0.2 hazy , cynogenmod, pacman , dirty unicorn, etc and other many custom roms but I'm facing same problem no mobile network, other than that everything work fine....

You mean stock 4.1.2 rom? That's very weird for a 4.1.2 stock rom. Maybe an android 4.2 or 4.3 rom?
You are saying that I should try 4.2 or 4.3 custom rom??

Yep.
I am having same problem with the network connectivity. It happens with all custom ROMs that aren't stock based. I am stuck with Chameleon ROM which is a hybrid and has a stock samsung base. It is a great ROM but is outdated. I would like to upgrade. Any solution to this problem is welcomed. = D
Okay I think I got a solution here. The procedure is:
1) Make sure you are on a stock based ROM or other ROM where your network is working.
2) Backup EFS.
3) Flash custom ROM of your choice.
4) Restore EFS if there is no network.
Done.
To restore efs, you can use any app tailored to do so but for me it didn't work. I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021
Follow the steps carefully and you will have network in any ROM you like. Hit thanks if helped.
PS: Sorry for double post
EDIT 2: Even though my network is back, which confirms that the problem was with the missing IMEI. I found out that the IMEI I got now is a fake one. Got to get the real one back now..
i did flash android 10 in my moto one power
after that i went back to stock rom but noe netwrok is not showing up
