A. If your getting a not registered on network error, then you are either not completing the dialer code properly, or you don't have a GS3, if its a clone from ebay this won't work.

B.Asurion or T-mobile did not cause your problem, this problem exist with any carrier's GS3, but only if you divert from their stock firmware, and only in certain instances, so, you like the rest of us that play with our firmware, are responsible for your problem, I know its frustrating and can sometimes feel like you have hit a dead end. If the question you are asking returns zero helpful information ask the same question differently, or ask a different question, we can help, but we don't really know the scope of your problem, I.e. what did you flash to what device. Download a terminal emulator and type

Su

Getprop

Take a screenshot and post it.

C.If your speeds are really slow, you are either in an area without 4G, your area is oversaturated with subscribers, or there is a problem with the tower or your phone, my guess is your phone, flash it back to stock then try the dialer code if the dialer code still doesn't work get it replaced, if you still have the problem with the new device, then tmo may have an issue with thier tower, also if you don't have a truely unlimited plan you may be getting throttled if you have gone over your limit, there are plenty of things that could cause this, so be specific. As far as the imei app goes if you can't enter diag menu *#7284# then the app wouldn't help you anyway, it only generates the nvdata, you still have to use QPST to write it to the phone.

I learn something new every day, I just might have to give tmobile a call and see if my city or neighborhood is oversaturated. I never really thought of that. Well I would have given it a thought but I never really looked at it at that perspective. Thank you again, PM Replied. I live in Des Moines, Iowa which shows if i am correct that is in a "4G Area" and it constantly drops me down to E with full bars or 3G with 0 to 1 bar. I've had 4G until i rooted my phone and right after that, that's when i lost my actual 4G speeds. I know its called HSPA and HSPA+ the + version being the highest tier until you get an LTE enabled device. I do not have a clone of the phone. It is an actual real certified S3 T999 device. I have bought it at Target for 79.99 (gotten really lucky) (since i had wanted the blue version and the white was 149.99)

Can someone help me get my 4G restored? I lost my imei number ( was set to 0), I was able to use nv_items_reader_writer along with the SGS3 nv gen to inject my correct imei number back into the phone.

I have checked under status and my imei is no longer 0 & displays the correct imei, but still no 4G - only edge.

I then made a full nv backup, then restored that backup, but still nothing.

Lastly, I have even tried going into the hidden menus that take you into the phone setup/network setup & that did not work.

I am on the stock rooted rom (root66)

any other ideas?

Doc, PM me the link please.

I just need a reliable way to backup & restore. Tried Andromizer and even though it said successful backup, no file was created. It didn't even create the Andromizer directory on /storage/sdcard0 and even after I created it manually, it still erroneously reported successful backup without actually backing it up.

EDIT 1: Saw the tools folder your androidfilehost account.

EDIT 2: Anything different than this QPST backup procedure? I did a similar thing to enable AWS on i747. It seems that doing this on my T999L is what I need?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4Orr:
Doc, can you please PM me the link also? :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Andromizer does not create a user accessible backup. It is written across several partitions that we do not touch under usual circumstances. Ill explain more here in a few and will send you what I have as well. Give me 15-20 min (give or take a few) and check your pm's guys. Thanks!

Sorry, just didn't want to rewrite it all again!

There is another way to do your nv backup now, and I highly recommend it. You have a couple of options, but both essentially do the same thing:

Install Andromizer from the play store. Under the Tools tab, choose IMEI (efs) Backup/Restore. Busybox and root required.

Or

Instalk Terminal Emulator and enter the following:

su

reboot nvbackup

To manually restore

su

reboot nvrestore

Both will create a hidden, on device backup of your nv data. If ever needed, it should auto restore at boot up.

Flashing the usual items on Odin or recovery cannot overwrite/delete this backup, so you only have to do so once.

There is currently no way to copy this to your sd or computer, but it shouldn't be necessary. I am looking into options on making this possible though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lost_:
Doc, so, is Andromizer working or not? (per your PM, sounded like it didn't)

While messing around with L710, I stumbled on this one which might be useful for the T999/L: [HOWTO]Comprehensive IMEI/EFS Backup. Note plan B, which is this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30679476&postcount=5732 from SynergyROM. Don't know if CDMA efs is different than GSM models.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Do not use the synergy backup. Cdma is different and i cant say you wouldnt mess someting up, but I'm pretty certain it will not work from what ive read on it before.

Your first link is exactly what I posted right above yours. Just do the reboot nvbackup like I suggested in the PM and directly above your post and you will be good to go....there should be no need to worry about it beyond that and you won't need andromizer anyway.

I haven't had time tonight to look into that anymore. Its only been a few hours...

So, I switched to CWM from TWRP and flashed a kernel. Now my IMEI is gone! :mad: Could I get the stuff too. Man...it seems one bad thing after another for my phone this month!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Just curious, but why did you stop using TWRP?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SiNJiN76:
I was having problems with my internal memory getting corrupt. Happened twice, so I thought maybe that TWRP wasn't doing its job when I asked it to format the internal memory. When I ODINed back to STOCK recovery, stock is the one that really formatted my internal so that my phone would function properly again.

Needless to say...I'm going back to TWRP.

BTW, Do I need to find my NVbackup folder? (I did do a backup, back when this problem came up)...I just got to find it.

Right now, my IMEI is 'unknown'. So if I terminal command reboot nvbackup...is that good enough? (got that info from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/)

I guess I need to find that folder...

Okay, found my backup and the software that I used to back it up with...but not sure what to do now.

FYI on a message I received in CWM...after I flash...and wanted to reboot...it went to a screen saying that the ROM wanted to flash STOCK recovery...asked if I wanted to disable it...I just hit the Back option because I thought I pressed on the wrong option...it then rebooted...lost my IMEI.

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ----------

I don't know what happened. I restored to a TW ROM...and now my IMEI is back. :eek::silly::eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
One piece of the software related to this stuff MIGHT work. I am still waiting for confirmation. The rest will not because it is for Qualcomm based devices only. the I9300 is Exynos. PM me and let me know what the exact status is and we can try to go from there. Note that I have not yet had a single confirmation on this working on any I9300/I9305 devices, despite my trying to help with it several times. If you can find someone with experience in this in your own forum it would probably be easier, but I am willing to try to help.

Did you ever run the "reboot nvbackup" command? It sounds like this had been done, either by you or possibly at the factory. It is, as I understand it, a preventative measure as well as a backup. Its a built-in utility from Samsung that writes a backup of all your NV data across several partitions. (The partitions are ones that you should never have a need to mess with and are not touched by flashing the "usual stuff" in Odin or Recovery). It works as a prevention against IMEI loss because if the device ever detects any NV corruption, it will automatically restore the backup during boot. This would explain why you had seen it go missing, but then after your flash and reboot, it was back! If you did not run this backup yourself, then I suspect it was probably done at the factory like I think they should have done for ALL our devices! I could be wrong on that, but it does seem to make sense to me.

Anyway, it sounds like you are good to go man! If you have never run that backup yourself, feel free to do so now if everything seems to currently be in order. This is all you need to do:

Open Terminal Emulator (install from Play Store)

Enter the following:

su

reboot nvbackup

Thats it! The phone will reboot and create the backup. You should not ever need it, but the command to force a restore is this:

su

reboot nvrestore

Hope everything is back to normal!

:cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SiNJiN76:
Yeah. The only backup I did was the software one. I tried the NV restore command... It rebooted and gave me in red letters that there was no backup. That's when I decided to flash a TW ROM to try something else.

An anomaly I tell you. This phone has been to hell and back numerous times!

Btw I did run NVbackup immediately after. Hahaha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I did not see in your previous posts, but when you were having these problems, where you using the CM 10.2 nightlies, or any 4.3 nightly? If you go into the CM thread, there are several people complaining about temporary IMEI loss, with a reboot fixing it. Nobody seems to know about reboot nvbackup anymore, it's pretty unlikely that all the people that have had issues ran the command. I think it's a bug in the OS. Big surprise, I know.

I'm still sour about the 3.4 kernel jump during the 10.1 nightly run. Battery was just garbage ever since. Needed a custom kernel to have anything resembling decent battery life. And it was pretty much downhill from there. I think it's probably not so much an issue with CM, but an issue with the people who are maintaining our device. The device is starting to age and it's become low priority. Better known as nobody cares. A friend of mine who was running an S2 at the time, never experienced any of the crippling issues we did. I can't think of a more logical reason that the releases would continue to get worse over time, after a certain point. Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about, but it certainly looks that way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SiNJiN76:
Yup. Then that must be it. I was on 4.3 (PROBAM). But, several reboots did not fix it for me. It took flashing another ROM.

I feel you about device support...The Android ecosystem is so vast now...and it moves at the speed of light it seems.

So, do you think I should stay on 4.2 or TW til this imei issue is ironed out on 4.3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I can't tell you what you should do, because it's your phone, your experience, etc. But either of those options would work. I personally use Dandroid myself, and have CM 10.1.2 on someone else's S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you do decide to go with 4.3, would you let me know if you see this happening again? My hope is it wont after running that backup.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SiNJiN76:
Yeah. Since I did the backup and have a backup on my computer/cloud. I'm going to stay on 4.3. I'll be sure to be back here if that happens again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Let me know if it seems to be preventing it as well if you don't mind. I know you can't determine it for certain, but if you have no problems after a week or two, give me an update if you think about it. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SiNJiN76:
So, I went on a Flashing rampage today. Went with Dandroid...then went back to ProBam...the navigation on it was all off, so I flashed Illusion...hoping that reflashing it would correct the MMS not being sent when using a Landscape Pic...(it didn't)...so I went back to ProBam...

First boot of ProBam...and my IMEI was unknown. It only took 1 reboot this time and the IMEI came back.

Hey Doc.....I am finally getting around to flashing a ROM on my GS3. I have been aware of the lost IMEI which has kind of scared me off so I didn't even look in this forum section for the past year. Now that there is a fix, do you mind sending me a PM on how to avoid or how to restore the IMEI just in case I lose it.

Also, is there any rhyme or reason as to how the IMEI gets lost? Is there certain ROMS to stay away from? Are there certain ones that are completely safe when it comes to keeping the IMEI?

Thanks for the information.

All you should need to do is the nv backup using Samsungs built-in utility. It will backup your nv data over several partitions that you won't ever need to mess with, and you shouldn't have to worty about it at all anymore.

Its very easy! Just follow these steps:

Open Terminal Emulator (install from Play Store)

Enter the following:

su
reboot nvbackup

Thats it! The phone will reboot and create the backup. You should not ever need it, but the command to force a restore is this:

su
reboot nvrestore

I've posted several times about the how and why of all of this, so give me a bit and ill copy it over here or link to it when I get back on my computer.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
!!!!!!!!!NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Try this new method out if you have 1. lost you imei. or 2. you are stuck on edge network after injecting your imei back to your phone.

dial *#197328640#

select [1] UMTS

select [6] COMMON

select [6] NV REBUILD

select [1] NV REBUILD

Reboot the phone

this method is for the T-Mobile Variants if you have a CDMA Variant the instructions will be as follows.

dial *#197328640#

select [2] CDMA

Select [1] COMMON

select [9] NEXT PAGE

select [1] REBUILD

Reboot phone

please report working or not working and your phones rom details, i.e. what rom you have flashed, if you have returned to stock to try and fix it. i suspect this won't work on non stock roms but its worth a try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jrwingate6:
I did the backup through this method and it rebooted the phone, two lines in recovery flashed for a split second and then the phone rebooted back up. The whole process took less than 5 seconds. Did it create a back up that fast?

When creating a back up to my external SD card using recover, the back up process takes much much longer. I was just wondering how the backup process using the Terminal Emulator happened so fast. Did I do it right? Also, will the backup I created to my external SD card through recovery inject my IMEI back in if it gets lost?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You did it right, and yes it's that quick. All you're backing up is your nv data. I'm assuming the other backup your referring to is the nandroid? That's completely different and backs up your entire system and data, NOT including nv data.
