Use Sonic Team modem flasher. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1816530
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] casper916:
I have the modem flasher and have flashed all of the different modems that come packages with it and I still have the roaming problem. This is so frustrating. I'm probably going to go back to stock ROM but won't that mean I need to reflash it to metro? And can I flash and root from a Mac. Its the only computer I have available to me at this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogant437:
Sorry to say bud but u have an nvram issue...roaming (no signal)and no data if so. Baically your meid etc...has been wiped from your phone

Its a completely random thing that can happen when flash roms..sprint couldnt help me when this happened to me.

If youve never backed up youre nvram before u might be SOL but just in case

In terminal emulator type:

Su (press enter)

Reboot nvrestore (press enter)

Generally everyone should backup their nvram. You only need to do it once. This can happen to anyone. To backup nvram, In terminal type:

Su (press enter)

Reboot nvbackup (press enter)

You should only backup when you have working data and signal.

I say try the restore command anyway. You never know.

Phone will reboot and do some "stuff" after entering one these commands.

I personally used adb/android sdk from my computer but im sure terminal will also work

Btw i dont take credit for this info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] casper916:
Tried the reboot nvrestore command and I don't have a backup. :( when you say I'm SOL what exactly do you mean? What might my options be now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogant437:
Only thing u can probably do now is return to stock/unroot and take it to sprint...theres nothing they can do over the phone since the meid and other phone info has been wiped...theyll probably just give u another one. Id tell them it happened after u took an OTA or say u changed network modes (LTE/CDMA) etc...and when u rebooted thats what happened. Or u can go extreme and just physically destry the phone and get another on your insurance.

But without that nvram backup youre pretty much screwed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] casper916:
Can't take it to sprint because I bought it as a flashed to metro phone. And I don't have insurance on it either. This absolutely sucks!

Re: [Modem/Baseband] Sprint GS3 Flashable Radios LEN | LF9 | LG2 | LG8 | LI3 | LJ7

I don't know anything about this NVRAM bug, but if you've lost your meid, I imagine you could reprogram your phone using CDMA Workshop or something similar. Do you have the original box? The IDs should be on there or maybe under the battery.

There are also services online that will reprogram your phone using a donor phone. Let me track down the VZ GS3 user that had tutorials on the forums a few months ago. I think he also offered to program phones (for a fee).

Edit:

This is the guy. Good luck!

OK so after messing around flashing different radios out of desperation I have my meid and imei but nothing else. Phone says im roaming but I have no data or network. I went into the testing section using the *#*#4636#*#* and poked around and found out that when I disable my radio it says I'm on sprint but when I turn it back on it goes to searching for service? This is just getting to be rediculous as I haven't had a phone for 3 days now so I'm gonna revert back to stock and then reflash it to metro.....thanks everyone for your help

Casper, I think i might have the solution for u..I was in a similar situation and no one know what to do..I looked around for about a week for hours everyday..In the end, with some help I figured out that II had accidentally written wrong Nv files to my S3..Download DFS, read phone, go under NV, on the right click on server, go down the list and select the Sph l710 and write those..let me know if that works..u can also try to clear the ram by doing a original factory reset with ##rtn#

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
is there anyone that is making these radios/modems so we can flash them from odin (pc version)?

the reason i ask i have learned of an option called "PHONE EFS CLEAR" that could come in handy

i dont think its called that anymore but i would really like that option when i flash the modem.

so a few of those modem files in tar.md5 would be great.

if there is a way to convert the update modem.zip files here in this thread to tar.md5 and will work with odin with no problem please tell me

Just of note. The MC3 modem does not work with any CM/CM based ROMs. If you have the modem installed and try to move to a CM ROM. The install fails. If you try to upgrade the modem after installing CM ROM. You get boot loops. And fixing permissions in the recovery does not fix it. It seems this modem only works on stock type ROMs.

Actually, it will work. I currently use it on various aosp roms.

What you need to do is:

-download the rom

-open the zip

-go into the met-inf folder > com > google > android

-open the updater script

- add in: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "L710VPBMC3" || before the last get prop line with the semi colon

Make sure to save the file > update the zip > flash away

Ever since I flashed to MD4 my reception and data services blow. I use to have 3bars in my house...now I have to step outside to even connect a call. Same goes for another nonrooted family member.

OK I hate to sound like a noob here, but I could not find a getprop anywhere in the updater script. So I put the line at the end. I flashed and everything looked like it worked but then I got a STATUS 7 code at the end and it said aborted. I rebooted my phone and my Baseband Version says L710VPBMC3 now. So I'm guessing it worked? I went back and reflashed the original ZIP with the original updater script and everything was the same and I got a sussessful install message at the end.

I'm not on a CM ROM though, I was just checking it out and thought I would share my findings.

Also, right now the baseband on my phone is L710VPAMD7, in the list of modems here, I don't see that listed in case I run into trouble and need to reflash this stock modem. How can I get this stock modem thats on my phone now?? Thanks

I am on boost mobile which is a variant of sprint and I flashed the dandroid(themed with aosp) rom. I have tried multiple builds with no luck. When I go back to stock rom, I have data, so this is quite weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been talking to the rom developer but since he cannot test the boost variant, he is out of suggestions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
I tried looking through the forum but Tapatalk is having loading fits on my phone for some reason. I don't know the ins and outs of anything other than the Sprint D2SPR variant of the SGSIII phone. I would think Boost Mobile would have its own ROMs as well as radio files to use. I would double check the forum to make sure before flashing anything. But when you find the right radios to use, they are as easy to flash as any other recovery. Just flash and reboot basically.

As for which one, personally the MC3 (as I've messed with it more recently) does seem to have better throughput and about the same signal as MD4. But really its best to try them all out and see what works best in your area.

From what you're saying, to me, sounds like the ROM your flashing is not meant for your phone. And why your data is not working, because the ROM is not communicating with the hardware. But I'm not a multi-carrier tweaker so I can't say for certain that's what's going on.

Huh OK so I never saw some of the threads on my phone that I have now seen on my PC.

Setting that aside, I saw this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2390888 which speaks of using Odin to flash the stock Sprint MD4 ROM and go from there. There isn't much past that in the thread. So I am guessing that is probably to make sure the MD4 radios are flashed.

Making total sense if you flash a Sprint based ROM that the data is not working. Then flashing back to the stock everything would. Because the Sprint based ROM is looking for the Sprint radio files, which currently th Boost Mobile phone would not have currently.

I tried finding the ROM you mentioned, but either I just FAIL@Life or am too tired to function properly right now. But hope the above helps a little bit, from what I've read that is my take on the situation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jreink01:
Thanks for the feedback. I was gonna try to flash another modem (radio) but I could not find my current radio (MD7) anywhere to have on hand in case I run into problems. This is probably a boost radio but have been unable to find. On another note, I did find a forum where a user did flash the dandroid sprint based rom (same rom I flashed that I have been having all the trouble with) without changing anything and he said he had data. I did contact the rom developer and he made a zip that changed some settings in the apnconfigfile.xl thinking that that would work but it didn't. The developer does not have sprint so is unable to test. Other that that, the devloper has no other answers for why the data is not working. I have been trolling through several forums and the consenes is that sprint-based roms will work on boost gs3 phones.

hi all. just writing a quick message to let you know that i've updated the op with md4 radio. thank you [MENTION=3838610]jcwxguy[/MENTION] for sharing the link (and reminding us that that page exists!).

also, i noticed that the couple files i'd shared were all-in-ones (which you can get from freeza's goo.im page). so, i updated the files so that they are radios only.

lastly, as [MENTION=3494087]POWerSUrgeSW3[/MENTION] mentioned, when flashing a radio, freeza's script does create a backup of the original radio, modem.backup, at the root of your internal storage (not micro SD). if you run into problems you can either flash a different modem or revert by using freeza's revert zip. i've added a note to this in the op as well.

thanks to all of you for keeping the thread alive!

3. reboot into recovery, flash piggyback, reboot, check data- no data

4. go to settings,-more settings- mobile networks-change network mode to cdma, phone will reboot

5. go to settings, go to system update- update prl, once thats finished, update profile (first time I tried to update profile, it failed, if that happens, try to update again), once both are updated, go back to more settings-mobile networks-change network mode back to cdma/lte, phone will reboot, you should now have data

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Officially I could not day. I flash the radio in recovery... Reboot to system and update PRL and Profile... Reboot again and then give my phone about an hour to settle down. Then I check speeds. If I do a speed test right away after flashing, I don't get as fast of speeds until I wait a bit. And I've flashed radios a lot from LJ7 to MD4 and the leaked MC3.

On a side note, depending on your area, we are having some atmospheric storms that could be causing some signal issues as of late. I actually went from MD4 to MC3 and back depending on the day for test speeds.

I will say I noticed MC3 is better signal but slower speeds then MD4 too... So play AMD good luck!
