Flashed phone keeps losing 3g data after rom flash

About a month ago I flashed to the newest version of "The Peoples Rom" with Ktoonsez kernel. I didn't like the kernel so I flashed the same zip but used the stock kernel. As soon as I came back online I was only getting 1x data. After playing around and basically did everything to re-flash the phone and after a few hours got 3g data working again. Now a week later the 3g has randomly dropped and I can not get it back.....
Has anyone had this problem??? I am going to try to flash a few different roms to see if I can get the 3g to stick on any of them.....

Update Profile and prl also Go into the phone dialer and enter the following code ##72786# this will do a hands of reactivation. TW Roms usually won't affect signal so flashing g another rom won't help.

Didn't work, all it did was reset my MDN and MSID and give me an error when I tried to activate
Edit: Silly question but do I need wifi on for it to work?

Reset your mdn and msid? What are you saying? You are on Sprint right? You went into the dialer an entered the hands off network reactivation like I said. Then once it provisions again update profile and prl?

Wow thanks for saying your on Boost Mobile, don't you think that would have been important to put in the title or at least in the OP within your question?

Thank you so much! I have flashed a few phones to boost, this is the first time I am totally stumped. Like I mentioned before I started having problems after a kernal flash from the peoples rom.

I havent used boost for awhile but right now I am on ting which is still a sprint network and for them and my previous runs with boost using hands free activation and updating prl/profile has always worked as expected. I would download the stock md4 rom from freeza and do the hands free activation ##72786# see if that works as expected. If you have data working you should be fine to back to tpr.

Ok I am downloading the zip / modem / kernel right now. I am going to install the zip "Odexed No Data Wipe Zip" that I am going to install from my custom recovery. Then use one click exe's for the modem and kernel. I will let you know what happens. Thanks a ton in advance.

If you are on Boost Mobile as you stated before. First thing you should do is check out THIS THREAD. Then you can check out the post HERE in the same thread.

I am familiar with that page, as I stated before it had 3g working for MONTHS and then it dropped out for no reason.... I have flashed back all the profile 0 information and did a profile update but still only get 1x....

The reason I linked the thread, is because the issue has been mentioned before in the thread. You may be able to get a resolution to the issue faster.

ICS 4.0.4 Flashed to Verizon Prepaid; updating to JB bad idea??

I bought my phone already flashed to Verizon prepaid. It is currently on ICS 4.0.4 rooted stock build FH13. The guy who flashed it sold it to me and told me to never update it cuz it could destroy the flash. Is this true? Also, hot spot is working and i wouldn't want to lose that if i were to update. So should i just disable OTA update notifications with FOTAkill.apk and stay on 4.0.4?

When you update just change the APN for MMS. The flash should stay regardless of the ROM on the phone. Be sure to do a nandroid first. Also someone who has done a flash to another carrier can please chime in

Your correct . You are good to go. The update won't hurt your Verizon prepaid flash. Just change APN and your set. I'm able to jump around ROMs with no problem at all. Happy flashing!

DO NOT UPGRADE! If you're on PagePlus, the system WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. The place you bought it will charge you to re-flash it back to 4.0.4.

Just curious but how will flashing a new ROM in Odin or cwm make the system not recognize the phone? From what I can tell the "flash" was using the numbers from a donor phone. All the info used in the flash except the APN would all still be there after a new ROM flash. Can you not factory reset the phone after a flash to page plus as well? I would like to know what your info is. Because this is the first I have heard it.

I'm also curious about this as well. I have flashed many phones to various carriers and never had a problem with a upgrade.

Ok it looks like someone is saying it will be safe to update and someone else is saying that it is NOT safe to update. I cannot afford to lose the flash as I do not have access to a computer so I can't take the chance unless someone can absolutely positively for sure tell me that I will not lose my Verizon Prepaid flash.
If the Epic 4g Touch was made for Verizon I wouldnt be worried but being that its originally a Sprint phone I am having doubts. Isn't the OTA update designed for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch? If I do end up letting the OTA update install what version will I end up being on?

I use Verizon prepaid on my epic 4g and epic 4g touch. I have been able to Odin both phones and not loose any settings. I also was able to ota and install cwm and flash any cm10.1 build and everything worked. Text calls and 3g work. MMS doesnt work unless I change APN settings

If I do the OTA update, what version will I be on? And will foxfi or SVPT work on it?
Beezie I tried following tutorials all over google on getting my mms to work, but I cant get it to work on my native/built-in messaging app... Only way I can get MMS messages is by using GO SMS PRO app. Can I screenshot you my ##DATA# settings and let me know if i need to change any anything?

Well the update depends on which brand epic touch your on. (Sprint, Virgin Mobile, Boost) it will update you too jellybean either way just your modem will be different. I have a sprint brand.
Ya it is a pain to get MMS to work threw touchwiz without a 3rd party app of some sorts. I find it pretty easy on CM builds. I normally just ditch MMS and send the pic threw gmail cuz its less of a headache. But sure you can send me a screenshot of the settings. I'm willing to help as much as I can.

Okay three screenshots attached to this message. Thanks beezie

Interesting. I have the same settings saved on my computer for when I had touchwiz... This is what I was saying with having to use a 3rd party app and the headaches.
Have you considered jumping over to a cm10.1 build? MMS used to be a big issue for me until I realized what a pain it can be from phone to phone to upgrade etc. I'll flash over to stock tomarow after work and let you know if I can get it working right again. Sorry I can't be of more further help.

Im actually scared to flash my rom as i dont have access to a computer if it bricks. But i might if someone were to guarantee i wont lose root or flash AND i will still have wifi tethering capability. Im gonna do some research on the cm10.1 rom. Yea id appreciate it if you could help me out tomorrow. Thanks again man. Btw, does you're phone go into airplane mode every now n then? Mine does for about ten seconds then comes back on. It'll happen like maybe five times a day. Was wondering if that's normal. If not, is it something cm10.1 could fix?

Its not normal. There was a bunch of bugs in the ROM you are on. Being on that build though because its rooted you can use mobile Odin. To get the modem you would need to flash that in cwm though.

Yup patroa is correct. ICS builds for the epic touch were horrible. (In My Opinion) I wish I could give you a 100% guarantee that nothing could go wrong but there is always a small slight chance.
No its not normal for airplane mode to pop on from time to time.
I rooted and used mobile Odin to install a cwm and flashed a cm10.1 build all without a volume down button (can't easily get into download mode or at all) I was able to do it from a ICS build. The same build you are on.

What would you say the odds are of something going wrong? Like if you were to compare the amount of horror stories to the amount of success stories what the ratio look like? One bad scenario to one hundred successful ones?

Just follow directions to the letter. Almost all if not all issues in flashing ROMs are from not following directions close enough. You are already rooted so get mobile Odin from play store or here on xda download el26 or el29 kernel from the kernel repository DL the tar file flash in mobile Odin boot into recovery make backup wipe and flash the ROM of your choosing. There is a ton of awesome ones out there

Having trouble with SMS issues please help!!!

I'm sure this question has been answered b4 and I'm sorry. So just hear me out. I've had problems over the past week with getting my phone to receive SMS and calls. I can make calls but I'm not able to receive them. I was on the phone with the sprint the other night and they were doing all these things to try and fix it. They had me do dial pad codes and my phone did not respond to those. They had me send some SMS messages to myself the text went through but didn't go back to my phone. And when I reflashed the modem and rom on Sunday afternoon I lost 3g I used to get almost 5-6 bars in my house on 3g and now I barely get 1 bar. I am on Stock Gb27 rooted stock kernel but I was on agats Gb27. I need help I would like to avoid getting a new phone. Thank you in advanced

The signal issue is a funny thing to work out...I would try going back to stock ICS and ICS modem...before that you should make sure no tower work is going on in you're area.. ..if you go to ICS update prl/profile ....

i dont think the ics dialer idea would work...you can keep trying different modems and see what happens or tell sprint that they suck and demand an airave..they will probaly charge you for it..
As for which phone to get...there is no way for me to answer that man...But i'll tell you this. When i get my next phone it will be the water/dust resistent S4..But i dont see a new phone helping the signal..
You could change you're prl to a roaming one..there are guides here and there online..But this only works for sprint not boost..If you're on sprint..a custom prl would be my move..

Sorry..i seen you have signal now..ive been jumping around and helping others in about 3 different forums. If you're problem is just sms or mms. I would wipe the cache for the sms app in app manager. Then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.Reboot. If it is still wonky..try checking you're apn settings..if they are wrong.change them and reboot.

Should I just look online to see if they're wrong.

This is a stock MD7 for the Boost Variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III, with SuperSU andBusybox installed. Apks are also zipaligned. This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device. This was built from the Samsung Official MD7 build.
Thanks to Smith058 for the find, and for letting me use it to cook with.Link to his OPhttp://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/753772-odin-backup-sph-l710_md7-stock.html

Flashing Instructions:
This will NOT flash a modem. If you are coming from stock MD7, you will keep MD7. Same goes for whatever baseband you have right now!
1. Download zip to your sdcard
2. Reboot into CWM, TWRP, or other compatible recovery(I used CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch)
3. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot
6. Profit

I do not claim to be the expert on anything, especially development issues. If you notice issues, please let me know. And if you have a solution to one of the issues I've found, please, by all means, post it and you'll get the credit. Enjoy
Note: It seems when rebuilding this to fix the issues above, I've lost the "rising orange Bs" boot animation. There's still boot-up sound, and the blue Samsung animation, but no Boost-specific. If you want it, you can get it from the previous build If I get time, I'll add it back in manually, but frankly, I like not having it there, it seems to boot a little faster

Actually, it'll work just fine. It'll just have Boost signature and mmsc url. Just like Boost and VM users have to change mmsc url, you would have to as well, I think. I say that, because if you check mmsc urlv on this rom, it actually reads "not set." I would be interested to see if mms would send and receive on other carriers with it saying "not set."

Quick ? JD, does my Sprint S3 will have to be on the same MD7(since it was base on that one) or can it be on a different one...i.e newer/older version.

Glad I asked.
I'd guess that it wouldn't work well on my Sprint phone.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're referring to your modem, then no, it doesn't have to be MD7. This is a Boost build, so you may have to change your mmsc url to get mms

This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device.

So I will not lose any apps or anything if of course I don't do a total wipe I mean?
I did a nandroid just encase but wondered if it would just do the "android is updating" after installing thus all apps would be untouched.

I flashed it once I had some time it kept nagging about wanting to upgrade and was very laggy and slow compared to blazer I was running not ready to be a daily for me at least not till I have some time to remove all the bloat.

Hmmm, that's the first I've heard of that. This rom is completely stock, but yes, not debloated. I just installed es file explorer and deleted all the crap it comes with. And for the other poster, this will not wipe everything if you do a dirty flash. And I'm using it as my dd with zero issues.

Glad to hear it. I have the MG2 tar as well. Anyone interested in a deodex/debloat of that? And silver, how's the build working for you?

Over 300 downloads, thanks everyone! I haven't heard any feedback, so I'm assuming it is working ok. Let me know!

I'm wondering is this ROM a daily driver or are there any kinks that anyone can report on.

Signal shuts off when on standby

I've searched this before on google and found a similar thread but only the data shut off for that person... I completely lose signal though whenever i flash a custom rom and go on standby... works perfectly fine on stock but if I try hyperdrive or wicked (only 2 I've attempted) and i shut the screen off the whole signal disappears but reappears a second or 2 after I turn it back on. Any idea what the problem can be? I've tried both CWM and TWRP and both have the same results, I've tried reflashing the radio also to no avail... I hate stock roms someone help plz lol

What's your baseband version? Are you still on the MDL bootloader? If so you need to flash the mk2 baseband for your data to work. Go to settings about device and check your baseband version. I'll let you know more one we know what version you have.

MDL i guess, M919UVUAMDL
my data works though... the issue is that on standby all cell signal drops not just data but everything i get the cancel sign.
ps. I found a thread with the MK2 baseband.. but apparently theres 1 for GSM and a seperate LTE file.. do i flash both? how does that work?

Yes only flash the modem.bin! Do not flash the bootloader or you will void your warranty. Make sure the files you flash are for the SGH-M919. After you flash the modem.bin make sure that it sticks check your baseband again and make sure it says mk2. Sometimes you have to flash the modem more than once for it to stick.

all set guys, appreciate the assistance thank you both

Feel as if my service has suffered since the flash, is mk2 known to have service issues compared to MDL? If not would a possible kernel flash possibly rectify the issues I'm perceiving?

At the beginning there was issues. It was mostly kernel related. I am on dbombrom from dannyben and have never had an issue. You should give it a try it's pretty awesome. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611442

Dbombrom will fix your data drop issue. If you don't want to try that now I suggest you flash the latest kt kernel just Google it and flash the late one for M919 android 4.3 it may also fix your issue.

Now that I think about you being out of the states it may be that your APN configuration has to be different for the country you're in. I don't know why I didn't think about it.
