Hi all,
I've flashed quite a few times before I settled with my current Insanity rom. But then I decided to try out some new ones since I have time during the holidays.
I tried flashing Omega and Delv with cwm (Whatever version they currently have now), both at the startup didn't allow me to bypass by pressing the 4 corners. i thought nothing of it and just continued on and restored my stuff using titanium backup. before my sms, gmail accounts and call logs will get restored but it didn't for both. so i decided to restart my phone to see if it'll come up. it did not. in fact, the data connection goes missing. (i did get data connection when i first loaded up the phone right after the flash using cwm) i only have full bar of signal, but no data.
I thought it was just a rom thing or a bad download, that's why I tried flashing another rom, but once I restart my phone, the data connection goes.
I got so frustrated that I just restored my old (current) rom from cwm.
If anyone can help me on finding out what may be the problem, that'll be great. I really do want to start flashing different roms again because I'm getting bored with my current one.
thanks in advance!

I'm sorry my English award is not very good I am a Chinese.
can you make sure that you have wipe your phone 2 times?
wipe data factory reset and wipe cache partition? before you flash a new rom?
and the problem may be your kernel don't work well . you can flash another new kernel or flash a new cwm
wipe your phone is very important
if these mind can not make your data well you should flash your phone
by odin . use this software to make your phone well
thank you for your reply.
I have wiped my phone very thoroughly: wipe cache, factory reset and even dalvik.
aren't the kernels automatically installed when i install through CWM?
i'm not too sure about this kernel thing as the many times I flashed before, I never had to install kernels on its own through odin. i just flash the zip file of the rom through CWM and it's all good.
so you're saying i should use odin to flash instead of cwm? is there a major difference? i'm much more comfortable with cwm though.
Try flashing a new modem .
Check IMEI is correct .

Have you set your APN settings correctly according to your phone carrier's settings?
Also try your carrier's CSC on your phone.
Set your APN manually, I had this before as well...
Other options is to get the Tweaker App from the Market and when connected via Wifi then it sets your APN as well.

Thanks for the suggestions.
The APN one sounds easier to do. That option's under wireless and networks correct?
Currently, I only have one selected. I'll check it out when I flash the new rom.
What's this csc though??

Hi all,
I explain u in more details what's happen !
the result : no more call or sms can be send or receive, but internet browse work !!!
the chronology :
I use foxhound rom since months and months
I bought a S3 in june locked, that i unlocked changing the nv_data.bin and i rooted it
I updated my rom with the LG8 version last week, and so lock came back
==> so i used voodoo unlock apk + fix 0.1
2 days after i discover that i can't receive or send anymore any call or sms
i do not need anymore voodoo unlock seen that i BUY A CODE TO UNLOCK PERMANENTLY MY PHONE
so i try to install other roms and modems with each time a full wipe, reset (before to install rom or modem) == the problem STAY
as well with others modems version like DXLF3 LF2,LFB, LG8, LG6
as well trying to fix permission each time
as well verifying the apn settings
the phone is rooted as before
but my phone stay useless even after to install so many roms and modems (cyanogen, stock,foxhound roms)
the signal stay on 3G when i try to call o to send sms but browsing it change to H+
NO CALL, NO SMS WORKING BUT INTERNET WORKING
i have seen that the voodoo fix changed libsec-ril.so, it can be the problem ?
install a rom or a modem doesn't overwrite this library ?
what have been changed by the voodoo apk or the fix that is not overwritten reinstalling a rom or modem ?
i suppose the origine of the problem come from this tool ?! since i use it, happens my problem.
can i find somewhere a backup of the root folder to reinit my phone totally knowing i have a backup of my original EFS folder?
how can i find the origin of the problem if it is not this library ?
PLEASE

HELP ME
THanks all of u for your helps.

You could try to go back to stock rom?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
hi fenjen, it has been done few times without success
i suspect libsec-ril.so to have been modified but i'm not sure, i don't know what is use for but applying the fix of voodoo unlock, this fix replace the one on the phone !
best regards
First of all, supercurio hasn't released any fix, he even said that this fix isn't a proper one, so his app is still removed from Google Play.
Second, Voodoo Unlock won't damage your efs folder.
Third, consequences of use of the fix aren't know, but many people are using it without a problem.
Forth, the fix must be the last thing to be done. If you flash a ROM after you applied it, the fix will be gone.
which library is invoked for call and smms but not for browsing internet ?!
which check can i do?, after to have install so many rom, kernel and modem, reset, full wipe so many time, verify permission and apn settings !!!
it seem like call or sms are not able to invoke the right service but go on internet yes
it's related with data service ?
i become to be crazy with this problem (((((

Well I don't know what is the problem. What I can recommend is that you flash a stock ROM (try the original one, the one that came with your phone). If it still doesn't work, try to talk to your operator and find if everything is fine.
same problem
I have exactly the same problem, I used Galaxsim Unlock to unlock my phone, I can not make/recive a call or send sms but i can surf the web in 3G.
can yo solve the problem? if so.. please answer the way you do it :good:

flash stock rom is not working for me
i´ve the same problem with a i9305
Hey there,
I have a factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII, international, GT-I9300, freshly rooted and using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4::CF - v1.5.
Today I've flashed 2 custom ROMs, one after the other, by following some guides that I've found (cannot post yet links):
1. Android 4.3 via SuperNexus: URL hidden
and after the SuperNexus this one:
2. Android 4.3 via ParanoidAndroid 3.97 ROM: URL hidden
Managed to flash these two successfully, but with both of them I've faced the same problem during initial device setup: could not connect to my Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi signal was strange too: strong, then suddenly weak. Could not authenticate and connect. :crying:
So, fortunately, made a backup before these two ROM flashes, so I guess I'm back with my stock Samsung TouchWizzy ROM (Android 4.1.2). That I hate. I want something bloatware free, stock-android feel, something like my Nexus 7 tablet.
Can you suggest me a "Wi-Fi capable" stock-like Android 4.3 custom ROM or am I missing something? Maybe a Radio flash (have no idea what's that) but maybe that what I was missing? And if I do that somehow, is that reversible? Never done it before.
Thank you in advance for any help and suggestion! :good:

(1) did you do a full wipe including manual wipes of /system? If not do so and try again (mega wipe can be of help here)
(2) if this doesn't work, did you play around with custom kernels? (wifi is connected to the kernel and less to the baseband/modem used)
I am running SlimBean 4.3 (beta5) without any WiFi issues, also all other roms before that, no issue.
This must be a modem issue as android 4.3 does not change the modem from the previous samsung rom.
try upgrading to latest samsung 4.1.2 and then install android 4.3.
install 4.3 after doing a mega wipe.
remember to backup everything.
and dont forget to take an efs backup as many ppl are facing major problems after upgrading to latest samsung roms.
Guys, Thank you all, trying to reply to everyone:

1. Thanks, will do a mega-wipe next time, although with CWM did these in the following order: Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache several times. Also, with MegaWipe wiping Preload partitions does what exactly? Just don't want to brick my phone/do something irreversible, as I try to understand everything I do to it
2. No, did not played around with custom kernels. Do not know how to change/flash them. Same as flashing a custom rom? Newbie here :laugh:

(1) The best would be to read the mega wipe thread. I use it all the time, it will delete ANYTHING excep the external SD card (also not EFS etc, hence dont worry). Therefore you need a flashable rom on the external sd or via Odin later on. But basically your phone won't start after a mega wipe, just download & recovery will work.
Your wipes are correct I think, whereas /system is missing wich is needed, at least for SlimBean (4.3).
(2) The best would be to read the guides & kernel thread's how-to's first. It is basically the same as flashing a rom, yes.

Well if u r a newbie. Read all the guides available here. Dont proceed further without doing that. You will learn how to backup efs and all.
U can install any latest custom samsung rom. Again.. Read the guides/warnings before proceeding.
Misleading title .
#There have been a number of identical posts and some have fixed by copying older WiFi files over . But you need to search and read and no i don't know where they are . .
Its not a custom rom problem but a non Samsung custom rom problem on 4.3 .

Yes, reading the guides, so first of all decided to backup my EFS (coz that sounds reassuring before doing more ROM flashes) with EFS Professional from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
Installed BusyBox on my phone, and I'm stuck because of a missing applet: http://cl.ly/image/1a1J1A0I3V0H.
I think I'm going deeper than what I can handle
BTW, Enea307, tried CM 10.2 (4.3) this morming, and same wi-fi problem. So it's most likely not a custom rom issue, as most of you suggested.
The only logical; way to rule out firmware is by wiping the phone and flashing stock rom .

Some roms, mostly PA (paranoid android) just happen to have wifi probs.
I used to have pacman rom earlier and as it was a combination of cyanogen mod, paranoid android, and AOSP roms. It had a part of all three in it, so the wifi bug persisted. Went back to stock rom later.
Usually stock roms are the best and most stable for your phone, No matter how much the hype is, features are, or however big Nd bold letters STABLE is written in. Just delete the bloatware given by samsung to get ur phone clean and ram light. You can delete system apps by using titanium backup.

Thing is, that I am rooted, done with Odin, by following this guide: http://www.androidrooting.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-or-gt-i9300t-cwm-recovery/
So I have CWM, and with I tried Android 4.3 via SuperNexus, Android 4.3 via ParanoidAndroid 3.97 ROM, then, lastly CM 10.2 (4.3). With none of them did I managed to get the Wifi going.
Here is my current "About device": https://www.dropbox.com/sc/8hp04dn5o5flytd/LpoJCgZ7sK
Is this stock samsung firmware? Coz I can't tell. It seems stock, but maybe it changed with the rooting procedure.
So I repeat, only with this setup/build does the wifi work. With no other custom rom does...
I did backup and recovery to my current working wifi rom. That's how I recovered after trying these custom roms mentioned before.
Guys, help me pls, with at least flashing to the stock samsung rom with Odin or Kies (Odin failed, scroll up see my recent posts with screenshots)
Note that on my last try, Odin just froze yet again: http://cl.ly/image/0o0o0k2L3J3m
If not with Odin, then how do I restore it to stock samsung rom with KIES?
thx!
You dont do it with kies. Kies is such bull**** software. Dont use it at all. You wanna backup, use TI(titanium backup) or nandroid backup. Take a system backup from CWM. As you said in your post, u want to go back to stock, dl the stock rom, do the same procedure u did to root your phone via odin (pda, etc etc), just this time instead of the root zip file, just put the stock rom zip file.
It should take some time, and aftet its done, your phone will be as good as new. To restore the backup via TI, dont select system apps. Only the apps which are in green font or downloaded apps. Other wise u will have force closes.
Also, when u flash the stock rom via odin from your pc, you will not have root. Just a note.
You can simply remove bloatware like live wallpapers, samsung "never gonna use" features like Svoice via TI by just uninstalling them, but note, if fiddling with system apps, them make sure u take a backup.
I have written it all in simple language so that you understand every essential part and have fun with your rooted phone.
Happy to help
As always last resort restore original firmware with Kies and probably a better method than some others posted.

Hey guys
I need some guru help here :/
I've flashed cyanogenmod 13 with android 6.0.1 on my i9300 along with some gapps (stock version). Everything works well, besides the cell reception.
I've been able to see other networks around but couldn't connect to neither of them. (i'm on roaming, in germany, while my sim card and the phone are from poland)
I have applied no signal fix from here which didn't change anything.
Then I've flashed this (the one with "Poland" next to it), but that only made things worse, as the whole "cellular network" menu in settings is greyed out.
What I've figured out is that when typing *#06# the phone app makes some noise and hangs, and in the settings there is no IMEI number.
This leads me to the conclusion that EFS (seems empty in the TWRP file browser) is broken/cleared.
I've seen many instructions on bringing it back to life, non of them are clear to me, and all use Windows. Is there a way to do that on Mac OS, or.. basically is it THE way to go for?
I would appreciate all the help as I need that phone in the next days :/ thanks!
@krecio4:
1. Look for efs-backup. Some kernels create this. Or as part of TWRP-backup. Restore it.
2. Flash latest firmware with Odin. If IMEI is still gone afterwards, try KIES repair function.
3. Let it repair in service center.

thanks a lot @rp158!
I've tried searching for an efs backup but no luck :/ any idea where do they create it? restore option only has those files that I've backed up.
latest firmware you mean the official one, right? Is there a way to do it on mac os?
cheers
@krecio4: TWRP backup contains efs-partition, if you chose/ticked it. Kernels (Boeffla, Agni) store it in sdcard0, but if you never flashed a special kernel, it's over.
Firmware means Samsung's stock 4.3 from sammobile.com. Look there, if they offer Odin and KIES for Mac. Otherwise lean a Windows pc. It's useless to make it more complicated by struggling software.
@krecio4: read this. That's not the solution, but if that all caused by actual CM13-nightly, there comes perhaps any...
I have the same problem with latest nightly. This work fine: "cm-13.0-20160523-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip".
@krecio4 I think that you have to first flash latest firmware then root your phone and then you have to use z3x box, hope it will fix :good:
thanks for your sugestions guys
What I did is to get the latest firmware from sammobile, restored it with Odin, phone was working, I was receiving calls and texts.
So I installed TWRP, backed up EFS, System, Data, and one more thing that was marked.
Then i did a factory reset and installed latest CM13 + gapps in one run (as a batch of files, selected the CM13 first, than the gapps in the que)
rebooted
Again - CM13 works well, but it says "please insert SIM card" :/
No IMEI, IMEI SV (Unknown)
Cellular networks in settings are off, and greyed out inside, "preferred network type" is "Invalid Network Mode (-1). Ignore"
Do you think there is any hope?
I noticed that EFS is empty, after restoring it from backup, and rebooting, it's empty again.
so tired of everything, I went back to the original software using this method (even easier than Odin) http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-factory-installed-firmware-sgs3-t1838480
If you come up with some solution, I'd love to try Cynanogenmod for longer and.. for real
1. Be happy, that your efs-data are ok. Make in TWRP a backup of this partition only, for worst cases.
2. Try @mexit's advice.
Can I with no problem have a custom recovery installed while using original firmware?
So you are saying that it might be with the last 3 nightlies that they are messing up with backed up EFS? If so, I'll try installing the one you've mentioned, but now I've list 2-3 days for the whole crap so I will wait until I have too much time But thank you very much for your support!

ok, as I don't give up easily, as you can see, I did another approach. Backup, backp EFS only.
Installed the edition from 23rd of mai. All good! But during the "installing apps" during the initial boot, close to the end, the battery died (after the screen flickering). but reboot and it all seems to work well Any issues that could appear after an unexpected reboot during the first boot? Do you suggest to do factory reset and flash CM13 + gapps again?
If I understand well, battery died during compiling Dalvik/ART. Should be happen again after cleaning both caches. But to avoid any mess, I would clean flash the ROM again.
So you suggest to do the factory reset, install CM13, install gapps, reboot ?
No.
Wipe system, data, cache, Dalvik cache.
Flash CM13. Wipe cache, Dalvik cache.
and gapps installation shouold be along the CM13 in a que right?
@krecio4: flash GApps afterwards. Read the last posts of CM-thread: your problem was probably caused by a modem-bug in CM, should be gone now.
after the wipe cache & Dalvik?
so CM13, wipe, gapps, reboot?
Ok, very precisely:
flash cm13, wipe 2 cashes, reboot
if net and wifi ok, make a backup of this state
flash GApps, wipe 2 cashes, reboot
case closed
I just rooted my phone (Samsung S6 Edge [SM-G925P] running Android 6.0.1) this Friday and I have a couple of questions about using the CyanogenMod ROM and installing Xposed. To note, I am pretty, pretty new (I literally just rooted 2 days ago.
So my question about CyanogenMod is will it run on my rooted Samsung and is it dedoxed? I already have TWRP and SuperSU flashed and installed on my phone.
And my question about Xposed is will it run on my phone, as well with CyanogenMod, TWRP and SuperSU? I tried installing it with the original ROM on my phone, but that provided to be disasterous since it soft-bricked my phone, but I heard that was because my ROM was deodexed.
Hi NovaViper ! It depends. Cyanogenmod and other ROMS can come in two flavors: odexed or deodexed. The one on the official Cyanogenmod Website is deodexed. If you go on Cyanogemod's official website they don't have a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 / Edge. Check it out: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/ Look at the left to see supported devices. Unfortunately, it's not there. Some Galaxy S6 / Edge models do support Cyanogenmod but as for your model the SM-G925P there is still no official support for CM ROM. Check this link out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...development/cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-s6-t3269984 Just out of curiosity, why do you want to install CM on your device?
I want to try CM because I heard it offers full customization.. I really would like to customize the lockscreen and colors of the UI especially and because it is deodexed, so I can also add Xposed. I have another ROM atm called Mostly Stock (its based on ROM but its deodexed and have a few changes to the stock UI, BUT it still has the parts I hate about the stock ROM). I specifically want CM because I haven't found any other ROM that offers full customization, deodxed for Xposed, and most importantly, is not like the stock ROM.
Oh, also with CM, I tried to install it but it said my device isn't support.. I tried the one from the link
If you want a full stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and XPosed on it I would recommend this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3111519. My friend has it on his ROOTED S6 Edge and it offers even more customization's then Cyanogenmod plus you can install XPosed on it. Give it a try.
Thanks I already flashed it but I notice that it isn't responsive to touch. I can interact with the buttons but no response to touch whatsoever. Seems like there isn't a ROM that works with my SM-G925P, the edge that rom works with is a G925F
Hmm, I thought it would work on your model. Try this: http://androidfreeroms.com/renegade-android-m-6-0-1-aroma-rom-sprint-samsung-s6-g925p/
I got the rom flashed and running.. but i cant seem to restore my messages from the samsung backup.. i can only get them from Textra (which doesnt export them). Also, i cant receieve text messages either.
Well, I finally got my messages backed up but.. I notice something else now. I had installed Xposed, which ended up giving me a bootloop and I had to factory and data reset, and reflash my stock rom. then I installed TWRP and then Renegade, but the mobile data isn't working anymore. Its just black the black bars.. I can't even find the Mobile Data enable button anywhere. (It works on stock rom though). To point out, mobile data WAS working before I installed Xposed. Right now, I'm reflashing my stock rom and seeing if it works.
--UPDATE 1--
Yeah, the stock mobile data works.. although I do have a theory on what could be going on
Theory 1: It could be I have to install my ROMS a certain way, initally, I had stock ROM, then I added the "Mostly Stock ROM" THEN I added Rengeade when you suggested it to me
Theory 2: Possibily signal strength/proxies (I'm doing this at on my school's wifi)
Theory 3: Something that Xposed has modified and its still there
--UPDATE 2--
I did the first theory and it worked successfully BUT.. I did remember that I had installed SuperSU soon after flashing twrp (which came after i flashed the stock rom).. Now I'm trying to see if that made a difference.
--UPDATE 3--
Ok, so it seems that it is a certain install order (tried with both superSU installed first and without). But I'm worried now about installing Xposed.. as I'm now nervous that it may end up messing up my phone again (It took a while for me to figure out how to get it back working.. as it ended up bricking with continuous looping and even factory resetting/clearing data off didn't work. I had to flash the stock rom for it to work again)
Interesting. My friends all have the International version which is G925F. Yours is Sprint ? Or some other cell phone provider ?
If your model goes haywire with simple custom rom installations and other apps than I wouldn't risk installing XPosed BUT if you do then try to follow these instructions... they work for your model:

My phone is Sprint and I downloaded Xposed from the Magitsk app and it worked without bricking my phone.. I wonder why it was acting up
Strange thing, I seems I HAVE to install the 'Mostly Stock ROM' BEFORE I add Renegade.. the mobile data works to not work at all without installing Mostly Stock first.. How any idea how to fix this?
Well, I tried installing Magisk and it bricked my phone once again.. I'm really confused with whats going on. I have a backup of the stock ROM from SamMobile. What I want to do now is completely clear off ALL data from all of the roms and just start over, is that even possible? Also, if I delete the system files, do I HAVE to install the Stock ROM first, or can I just add the custom ROM and it will add the OS?
Well normally for rooted phones, you only add the custom ROM and it will automatically add the OS. I have no idea why you having so much problem with it. Did you unluck the bootloader ??
Yeah.. (I think), I made sure OEM Unlock is enabled and USB debugging is on.. Not sure what could be causing such problems with my phone.. I honestly wish I knew
What method did you use to root your phone and unlock the bootloader ?
I used the systemless method (installed TWRP, then installed the latest SuperSU which used the systemless method by itself) and I think I did.. there was an option where I had to enable (it was called OEM Unlocking, it was preventing me from flashing)
And I forgot to ask another question.. should I (and if such thing is possible) wipe the system/ folder and then install the custom ROM onto my phone without having to add the stock one at all?
What I would do if I were in your shoes is I would unroot and re-lock your bootloader again... see this article for unrooting: http://howunroot.com/unroot-supersu/samsung/galaxy+s6+edge+sm-g925p/5.0/ Now... once you unroot your phone... I don't think re-locking your bootloader will have any effect... but you can try to relock your bootloader and bring it to the original state meaning factory... once there just follow these instructions step by step: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/skipsoft-toolkit-galaxy-s6-edge-root-unlock-restore-flash-stock-firmware-drivers-more-1517879 Once you root it and unlock your bootloader again, and after your install TWRP, go into TWPR, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe everything ... and then instlal the custom ROM that I gave you in the link, and it should be working find without problems. Try that and get back to me and update me... if you have any questions then just post it here and I will help you as much as i can.
I don't think I unlocked the bootloader because I looked up the instructions to how to unlock the bootloader and I didn't do that.. all I did was enable OEM unlock, is that the same thing as unlocking the bootloader? If not, how do I unlock the bootloader?
