no signal after flashing rom - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

i have a samsung galaxy s3, ive been rooted for a long time and flashing roms all the time. well i flashed a rom just now and i have no signal, not sure if i burned out the radio (not sure if thats possible, but it also said to insert sim card while it was already inserted), but i dont understand how that would happen. the sim card works in another phone that im using now, so its not the sim card thats causing the issue. my carrier is at&t, and no signal showing, not data or cell (wifi still works, but thats a different story). has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it? im guessing modem flashing, but not entirely sure. can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

just a suggestion, but try rebooting your phone again. this happened to me before and i got freaked out but a reboot has fixed this on a few occasions. running a flashed rom just fine right now.

I believe you need to do a factory reset. Backup your data first!

The first thing to troubleshoot you should do is flash back to a rooted stock rom and make sure the data is working there. If so this will rule out any sort of hardware problem. You didn't say whether or not you did but you can also try fully wiping the phone (dalvik/cache, system, and data), re-download the rom incase you had a bad one the first time and reflash. Other than that check that maybe check the apn settings.

Yup I ended up doing that last night..im back on the stock root injected rom. So im still rooted and network now works! So im glad. How would I flash a rom without losing the network this time?

Now that you have flashed back to stock a full wipe has been done in the process. At this point all you can do is flash it and see, but as i said i would redownload if you plan on using whatever rom it was you mentioned in the OP. I would also do a full nandroid backup to save the pain of using odin incase it doesn't work. I imagine the problem was with lingering files/fragments from multiple flashes that were causing the problem, in any case whatever the problem happened to be it was software related.

K will do. Its just weird because the md5 matched and everything..but I will for sure download the rom and gapps again. Thanks for the tips!

well, i finally got the service to work after flashing a rom. it still remains a mystery to me tho, i used to always use the illusion rom everyday, for months. i decide to flash the same exact one but no service, i download it a couple more times and still no service after flashing about 3 or 4 times. i tried a completely different rom and the service is active. i dont understand why and cant figure out what is so different this time hah. o well, im just glad its all working now even though its with a different rom. thanks for the help guys!

ok, im back =[
i was using the carbon rom with no problems, it was working great, but just a half hour ago i was listening to music and texting (i always do this), and then phone just turned off. I tried to reboot it but it wont! it always shuts off while booting. i made it to CWM, but it turns off while in CWM. i also made it to download mode, which led me to assume that the phone is not bricked, but it doesnt stay on download mode, it just turns off randomly. i figured maybe it was battery, so i tried another, and no change! does anyone know what the issue is? i cant figure out how to keep the phone ON, or why its not staying on.
btw, i got it to boot completely just once, and it was acting up still. any ideas? please help
Thanks in advance

What is the bootloader and baseband version on the phone? Which version of stock are you flashing?

[Q] Flashed my phone with 3.4.2-177 Nordic Blurless but..

I can't seem to connect to my phone service. I'm assuming that this was caused by me neglecting to read every single tutorial I could get by hands on, but could someone help me out here? I tried restoring a backup to no avail as well. If anyone could help me out, that would be much, much appreciated.

Hmm, connected to my old service but my phone says I'm roaming. :S
Damn, the Motoblur screen just keeps freezing and starting the animation over again :/ Any help?
EDIT: Okay, it doesn't do that anymore, but I'm still told I'm roaming and I can't seem to access my service provider (the way I want to, at least).
I am not sure why this would happen, *unless* the frequencies used by your provider are not included in the flashed rom, *and* are used by some other provider who allows roaming related to your network.
When I flashed a while back, I ran into a problem where some frequencies were not being used (850MHz specifically in my case). I copied the contents of \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default from the old phone to the new phone and it sorted it out.
Might want to try this.

Getting no service after boot. Please help!

I was running ICS 4.0.4 stock rom on my Koodo SGH-T989D. I used Darkside super wipe and then flashed Ginerbread 2.3.5 using Odin. To my knowledge, Koodo never ran gingerbread on this model so I had to use the Telus version. But since they are both T989Ds I didn't think there would be an issue.
My issue now is after I turn on my phone, it takes about 3 minutes before it finds my network. Normally it's within seconds that it finds my Koodo network. I'm just wondering what the issue might be. Is it kernel related? I've tried flashing different radios, but that didn't work. I've done a factory reset, and flashed again using Odin. My data wasn't working as well, but I fixed that by manually entering in Koodo's data settings.
So any ideas what I can do? Or did I make a mistake trying to flash a Telus rom on a Koodo phone in the first place? Obviously I'm just learning my way around here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably a stupid question, but how would I know whether it's reading my SIM?
I know after a few minutes it finally finds the Koodo signal and I have service.

It should show a sim card icon in status bar if its not reading or say no sim card on lockscreen. Otherwise it's working. 1.Try taking it out of phone and putting it back reboot see if its works after reboot. 2. If that doesn't work try another sim if you have it sometimes the cards get messed up flashing but rarely.
3. Dial *2767*3855# in the dialer for full factory format/reset. See if any of this helps you out.

It's very weird. It does recognize my SIM because when I take it out, a pop up comes up saying no sim and to reboot. I spent last night trying to get rid of the problem by flashing different roms, and seeing if there was any different. I flashed a CM10, my stock ICS 4.0.4, and the gingerbread rom. Some I flashed through ODIN, other through TWRP. After a bunch of different tries in no order, it finally got back to have service available immediately. But I went to do just a normal factory reset after I flashed the rom, and it lost service at the beginning of my boot again.
Any idea why a factory reset would affect that?
also, any idea why even after a few minutes when my service comes on, my data is still not available. I need to go to setting and enter in sp.koodo in the settings. Any ideas?

My internet data frequently disconnected

Hello,
i am back again with a new problem!
All the previous problems that was mentioned in this forum is GONE. i was a happy owner. Until i got this problem.
so i wanted to try new Modem, just so i can increase my Signal, and right now, my data plan is keep going on and off, and most the time i can't get it connected it.
i did the wipe date /factory reset from the ROM manager, and wipe cache and dalvik. and yet the problem is not solved.
right now, am running cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL
and the Modem am currently running which sometimes works ( I747MVLDLK4 ) am with Rogers, Canada, Edmonton, AB
If anyone helped me out with this, your next coffee is on me! for real!

Yes! i think i did a mistake. While i restored to the stock rom, The baseband that i was using it was I747MVLDLK4 and not the STOCK modem. So maybe that is why its not getting connected? am trying to apply the stock modem into the the stock rom, but its giving me Fail error.
am just scratching my head right now to be quite honest and this close to throw my cellphone outside of the balcony.

i managed to make my modem into the stock version. However am just getting "E" in my data connection. Reminder am still in STOCK ROM and stock modem now. is that a good sign that i slighty getting everything back??
should i just install the CM 10.1 now and see the results or what you guys recommend?
annnnnnnnnd my " E" is gone.. Beautiful
do you guys think it might be a actual physical sim card issue?
UPDATE: i restored my phone into the stock rom by Odin3 and now i just re flashed the Cm 10.1 again. sadly i still have no connection and my income and outcome for calling and texts is also not working.
please help!
Try flashing Task's AOKP and see if you have the same issue. Additionally, try deleting the current APNs (access point names) and manually enter the APN settings for your carrier. Could also just be a faulty SIM card as you mentioned.

Radio issues with 4.2 Roms

Hi all, I am again posting about having radio issues. (NO T-Mobile signal) Any 4.2 Rom I try to install, I am unable to obtain phone service. (signal)
Here is what I did:
1. Start from scratch, total erased phone and sd card and micro card.
2. Odin flash stock Rom and Odin flash latest TWRP
3. Copy Rom to SD card and flash. (flash is fine)
4. No signal, flashed newest UVM6 radio, all kind of wipes.
My phone is SGH-T989 T-Mobile. I even changed the APN, but still only pick up AT&T which still having no signal bars. I tried flashing all radios available with no help at all. I am able to use certain 4.1.2 Roms such as Infamous 3. I even tried different kernels, different wipes and just can not get any T-Mobile signal service. I have tried searching for any and all radio issues for this phone. NOTHING works for me. Can anyone or does anyone have same problem that came up with a solution to get a signal for T-Mobile for these Roms? I am currently using the Infamous 3 Rom using Arc kernel. Actually the only other Rom I can use it the stock deodexed rooted base. Very frustrated not being able to use these great looking Roms, HELP please! Thanks for any information or solution. BTW, I have tried everthing and every type of wipe to no avail.
do you still have your IMEI or does it shows blank and unknown ??
I am having the same issue. It does show my imei # though. How do I fix this?

Oh boy.....again.
K....here is about everything. If none of this is your problem, since you say you've checked everything....and yes, I have read your other thread....in which you repeatedly say you tried everything, then you have a hardware issue, or are simply doing something wrong and telling us you did it right.
Not getting a signal.....
- not using latest T-Mobile or Telus radio. Maybe you flashed it, but is it actually showing as that radio in settings??
- APN settings are wrong or don't exist. Lets pause here. You said you checked apn and only pick up at&t. Or am I misreading that. If you don't have the correct T-Mobile apn settings, then you wont get a signal or data. Period. This has to be correct before bothering with anything else. You said you checked. Against what?? I've seen plenty of apn settings when Googling it, some simply don't work. Maybe they are old settings, wrong phone, whatever. I'm Telus, so can't help you with the settings for T-Mobile.
- what has already been posted above needs to be correct.
- maybe radio file you flashed was wrong one or corrupt. Perhaps try the Telus one. Should work too. Since T-Mobile radio works on Telus.
- restoring any system data after a flash? Huge no no.
- wrong mobile band selected?
- and a possibility .....simply no signal where you are. Or it's a weak signal, and your assuming it doesn't work?? Ignore this if you have a very strong signal usually where you live. 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 shouldn't affect signal much if any.
Anyway.....that's about all there is to it if you are CLEAN flashing roms and following instructions to the letter. I am confident you will say all the above is good....and if so....I am afraid you will probably find no answers like your other thread. Meaning you have an extremely rare issue. Or a wierd hardware issue, sim card maybe....tho before you dismissed that as a cause. Another possibility is that you aren't correct when you say apn is fine, or the radio you flashed is fine. Not accusing you of misleading anyone, just saying perhaps you are innocently wrong when you tell us this or that is fine when it is not.. I've done tech support.....happens all the time! !!
So, good luck. Hope you find a solution ......tho this is your second thread on same issue....so you may have some rare issue....and may be boned.

That would certainly make sense!
He's got something wrong for sure. Or he's got a strange phone that won't work with 4.2. And I doubt that very much.
He's got wrong radio, or wrong or missing APN settings.
Or wrong phone, sim or carrier.

Stumbled across this. I've never heard of this particular issue before, but sure sounds the same as your issue. Try this fix if you haven't already.
Everything below is copied from another thread......
i had this problem with slim too. i thought something went wrong with my phone or my area. but nope. what you need to do is go to mikeyman777 cm10.1 thread and find the uvmc6 tar file, then use odin to flash it. apparently just flashing the newest radio with twrp isn't enough because it's missing some files or something like that lol.
anyways i haven't had signal problems since flashing radio tar file. i've lost signal like once. before i was losing it everyday. hope this helps.

4G won't stay connected

I've tried all sorts of roms, AOSP and Sense, they all stay connected to 4g for a few minutes at most after a reboot and then go back to 3g.
Everything else works fine, and my sim works good in other phones and stays on 4G.
Any idea what this could be or what is causing this?
Have you updated to the latest firmware? If your using kitkat roms, you need kitkat firmware. You can find the firmware in the second post of santods stock rom thread in development. Use the no boot.img one.

Yea I've flashed those also. Everything used to work fine until that roaming display issue. Never returned to normal for me, even tho roaming is gone.
Have you ever ruu'd back to stock and then done a factory reset from hboot? That is the only way to wipe out the network settings and force them to be updated. Worth a try i guess.

I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.
I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all. I flashed the new firmware first, as instructed, and that seemed to go just fine according to the directions. But, when I swapped my sim card from my other One and waited a few minutes, even *228'ed, no data.
I got the phone already rooted and s-offed with TWRP 2.7.0.1. How do I get it back to stock to clear out the network settings? Or could it be a bad firmwware flash, so I'm screwed anyway?
EDIT: I redid everything, and just stuck with the Sense 5.5 mostly stock ROM. Data works now. Might've been firmware, might've been the ROM on my phone. Zero idea.
Is it possible to have a bad sim?
I just got a replacement device and I still cannot get 4G service for more than about 2 minutes before it switches to 3G

I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.
I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all.

Sure, you can have a bad SIM, but I don't think that'd cause the drop in data transfer rate... lack of data all together, or other things not working, sure, but if you can actually catch a 4G link and then it drops to 3G, sounds more like the radios, the hardware, or just a bad coverage area. I'm no expert, though.
In case anyone was wondering, I ended up getting a new SIM and that has fixed my 4G issue. No idea what was wrong with the SIM, but anyway it sucked.
