Take that thing back to sprint for a replacement. Make sure you go back to official rom before you do tho or they'll get their panties in a wad.

Strange... If you really think it's not working, you could reflash the radio via ODIN, by taring the MODEM image, and flashing it in a tar as MODEM.
But I doubt you need to. You tried the SIM in another phone, in case there's network downtime?
SIM is working, tested.
made now a factory reset, now bootloop
may an idea where to get an radio to flash via odin ? im on villain 1.1 btw
or is the radio included in your ROM ?
I just down-grade to 2.2, with Rommanager, to what i have saved before upgrading to 2.3.3, official.
My 2.2 is also official, just rooted.
But now it did not find a phone network, no service availabile.
I tried again to restore (manage and restare).
I checked with another sim, the same.
My sim on other phone was ok.
After hard reset i got a message:
com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly.
Did you downgrade with KDZ?

He just said he downgraded via ROM Manager. PEBKAC.
@OP: You will have no GSM until you downgrade the baseband. Kindly check my v20g thread!

Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881this thread and make sure while you are updating your ROM, Rom should be for your country specified. Without this GSM will not work.
thanks in advance, i will.
I tried with the zip for phone, does not work.
So i have to come back to 2.3.3. Now i have phone.
I wanted to down grade because Maps are running every time i turn on gps, and igo is not working corectly ( the voice has interrupts).
Now i'm sticked to 2.3.3.
Thanks for your help and answers.

Dunno what you tried really. You are supposed to reflash the baseband from 2.2.x.
I flashed the baseband, but doesn't worked.
I used kdz to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2 (v10b_00.kdz), and it is everythin ok, inclusive phone.
Hi,
I've updated the phone to the newer firmware from KIES, and the phone was connected to the WIFI network but signal connection keeps switching on and off, is there anyway to fix this issue so I can have a stable connection?
Have test with my iPhone and Ipad, both connectect to the same WIFI and only my samsung S3 having this problem.
PS: WIFI power saver mode is already <<off >>, keep Wifi on during Sleep mode is set to <<always>>, Network notification is <<un-tick>>
This is my current ROM (Rooted)
AP: I9300BUBLG3
CP: I9300BULG2
CSC: I9300VFGBLG3
settting > wireless & network > more > mobile network > automatic connections > sprint connection optimizer.. unchecked?
This is the international version is Samsung S3, I can't find such settings.

I had the same issue when I reverted to stock. I thought it was this and that but really, all I did was
Backed up everything
Well mine was rooted and stuff so I triangled away the flash counter, probally dont need that if your on stock anyways
I wiped everything from the phones settings, back and restore, reset
I then booted up in recovery, doesnt matter if you are cwm or stock recovery, wipe again plus cache
Now I loaded up Odin and flash the original stock rom for my phone, I waited till it was complete, I then updated it through settings till I got to the latest update and then started reinstalling my apps from google play store or whenever else I had apps. So far all is well and no wifi issues.
Other advise would be instead of all the above, wait for another update or flash a new modem. That also worked for me when I was running another countries stock rom, Bad wifi, so I flashed my countries modem and it was fine! so good luck!
go to dialler
*#0011# will take you into Service Mode
click on menu
click on wifi
you will see a button that says "on" click on it
it will say off this stops the wifif connect/dis-connect problem.
If you shut down your phone you have to reset it to off.

This was the latest stock rom from KIES update (also rooted). But thanks for the reply, I'll try to flash different ROM and see what will happen.

I've got the exact same problem. Do you have a BT Home Hub 3 by any chance?
I've just rooted mine so am going to try and flash a new modem and see if this fixes the issue

Sorry I don't have BT Home HUB 3, my connection is very simple, just connecting the S3 to a DrayTek Vigor2710Vn Router via Wifi. Please let me know the result after you flash with a new modem. If is working, please provide the link and file name where you got your file so I can flash it too.
Thanks!!!!
***By the way, what ROM version are you using at the moment? Please provide your AP, CP and CSC details if is different to my S3. ***
Repeat Modem has nothing to do with WiFi.

I had the exact same issue, but ONLY after rooting the device (which I did just a day or two after I got it). I tried every possible fix, flashed new roms 3 or 4 times, wiped data and everything else in recovery, but no luck.
However, my final solution was to simply follow a guide to unroot the device, which I did today - and it did indeed work, I guess this issue is mainly happening to rooted phones, for unknown reason. Until I know this is fixed with an update (maybe in 4.1 JB), I won't be rooting this device again.
Link to guide on how to unroot
Are there actually people who can't fix it like me?
Also done everything I possible could but never got wifi working again.
Returned it to Samsung. I unrooted it and flashed the firmware again with KIES.
The day after there was also an official update for the BENELUX I guess. Also updated this with KIES.
So is it still possible they see that the modem was changed?

Yeah as the guy above me said, you always have to reset the flash counter before unrooting (as this requires superuser access).
If you don't do this, it's easy to see the phone has been modified in either download mode or by checking status in settings.
After successfully unrooting you'll also have to re-enter CWM recovery and wipe data+cache.
After doing this you'll see the device being "normal" and it should show "stock" in download mode.

Forgot to mention it but I did this yes.
I also think KIES would not update when this is not a zero.
I believe the Vodafone UK 4.1.2 update has only become available this week, updated mine last night OTA - previous update was OTA and worked fine. I constantly get the 'Unfortunately android.process.media has stopped working error' and it's also not keen to load the keyboard, and the battery life is now hopeless.
I've googled the error message and I can see that it's a common problem, and the poor battery life is linked to the error message I'm constantly getting. I've tried to raise a thread on the Vodafone Eforum, but there seems to be some problem trying to login at the moment (the forum software has always been hopelessly slow and glitchy).
After all my googling, despite it being a common issue, I can't seen any real solution - can anyone help?
Re-flash the 4.1.2 firmware via Odin. But this time go inte Recovery and wipe data/cache and Dalvik cache if necessary before flashing.
You're right it's a common problem, and wiping usually fix it. Try it.
Cheers.
Thanks, I presume Odin requires the phone to be rooted?
This is the first android phone I've had where I've been happy with the standard rom. I've connected to Kies and it seems to think there's a further update available, I'm backing up and I'll try this first.
If that doesn't work I'll be looking to root and try some of the custom roms.
Ok try Kies update.
And NO, Odin does not require your phone too be rooted. You can although root your phone via Odin.
Cheers.

I installed that very rom using mobile odin had no problems at all. After which you can keep it as stock but you able to remove all the bloatware, bock adds etc as you always have root privileges.

So ive run out of ideas on this problem. I no longer can update my prl and profile. I was on freeza's not3 2.2/2.25b rom had some issues with slow data and other hiccups. Flashed stock debloated and got tired of its blandness so i moved back to freeza's hoping for a better experience now that it had some time. After flashing back to it ive run into these issues.
Poor network signal, unable to update prl or profile with error code 6602. Ive gone stock tar nh7 and reflashed the modem too with no solution. Ive regained network connection after losing it entirely for a bit but still cant update prl or profile. Everybody else is talking how theirs is working great....i havent done anything different. Hope to get some input. Thx ahead of time.
Reminder at this point everything is stock flashed on odin. Twrp recovery latest version. Odin 3.09

I had similar PRL/Profile problems, 'tho I was getting error code 6500. Network connections remained strong and through-speeds were very good. But the failure to update Prl/Profile really pissed me off. I also tried return to stock, other ROMs, but same error 6500. I just lived with it and did the occasional battery pull to good effect.
Then I installed Sacs_Note4 _Ported_apps_Rom_V2.
As part of the installation instructions, I updated PRL & Profile and was shocked when they worked!
Then I set up the phone as I like it, and back to error code 6500.
I turned-off the various Wanam mods and presto, no 6500 error code.
I then added them one at a time, (stuck with a few less this time) and still no error code 6500.
Good luck!
