[Q][Help] No service after rooting my Galaxy S3?

pcTw3aker7788 · Jul 30, 2012

I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet. I rooted my phone last night and after that, I lost my signal. All I get in the top corner is the circle with the line through it in place of the signal bars. I've tried everything I can think of. I've re-downloaded the files and re-flashed my phone twice. I've even unrooted my phone and put the stock rom back on there and still nothing. I'm kind of at a loss right now and could use some advice on how to fix this. So if anyone knows a solution to this I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

You are on Sprint, correct?

If you're on stock try ##72786# in the dialer

No service...bummed

I am having this same issue...sadly

I've never had this happen with any of my other devices. Will I have to unroot back to stock, or can I use a stock rooted ROM? Because after dialing ##72786# in the dialer, it rebooted, and now says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" every two seconds...and still no service.

I'm worried, but am confident someone should be able to help me out on xda. I'm so impressed at all of the work that takes place on here. I wish I had the time to be able to learn how help others like myself in situations like this. :highfive:

Thanks to whoever can help.

Just flash stock recovery, when done with service menu, flash CWM. Have to have stock recovery temporarily just for service menu.

Ugh! It didn't work. The com.android.phone has stopped error kept popping up and interrupting the service menu. So, I turned on airplane mode to stop error message...able to run service menu...but when it rebooted there still was no service...

This sucks...

It appears to be a complete network failure...

I did a factory reset, then tried the service menu again. Rebooted to the same issue...UGH!!

I'm at a loss...

Out of curiosity what happens when you do *#06# in the dialer? U still get a imei? Phone for closing is intriqing. Make a nadroid, wipe data/factory reset and format /system as well then reflash ur rom. If ur good after that advance restore the /data from ur nandroid

colddonkey · Aug 6, 2012

Yes, I do still have the MEID.

My device is more messed up than I thought...this service menu in the dialer hasn't fixed my issue. Do you have any other ideas?

Try flashing the stock rom in Odin if all else has failed

hmmm guessing you've done factory reset as well... if you've tried everything in this thread i suggest resetting your flash counter, returing completly to stock(unrooting and installing stock recovery) and then bringing it to sprint and say you cant get service... good luck

billard412 · Aug 6, 2012

Yup if u odind stock and did the ##72786# u might have an issue. Take it back

RESOLVED

Hey...I found out why I didn't have service and was able to fix it. When I had flashed AOKP, there is a setting in the Mobile Networks screen to change the CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM. Somehow (probably playing around) I changed it from the NV to RUIM/SIM. THEN, I nandroided back to stock, and had no service. As far as I know, that CDMA Subscription option isn't on the STOCK ROM...so I was baffled. Good thing I remembered what I did.

Thanks for all of your help.

Can anyone direct me to a link to alleviate an issue with only getting 1x data with AOKP? I can't seem to find a fix for it yet...I think I might not even have data actually...

I humbly say... Stay away from aokp stuff at least until jb is official... try out the Freegs3 model of roms... It's got aroma!

I have same problem on my s3. It shows circle with diagonal line instead of signal.
I upgraded my firmware from rooted LE8 to official LH1 through kies firmware initialisation menu. because kies gives me message " cannot use kies to update ".
But after update i got this problem .
Any ideas. I am fully stock now.
Tried factory reset but it did not work

I did the same thing, Thanks for remembering and posting this fix!

I tried everything I could think of and I was about to go to a sprint store and beg for help.
Thanks again Colddonkey!

Heh, I did the EXACT SAME thing!
Fumbled around for a couple hours trying to fix the issue - thought I killed my S3 until I stumbled across this.
Thanks for posting, it saved my butt!
