Yes I did, I am in the "[Tool][Win] Repair IMEI & Roaming ERI issues" thread now, and tried to start the process but after dialing *#22745927 in the "TouchWiz Diag" instructions, nothing happens on my phone.....so I am stuck and don't know what to do......??:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I believe you need to be on ics for the codes to work.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help, I've never lost mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Who knows? It doesn't say anything about that on the "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1867442 thread which I've reread 47,000 times and no one is replying on there to help me.:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It's been just about an hour, you need to chill out. In that ERI thread, Pdykstra and others have suggested dialing the reprovision code on ICS roms multiple times. Odin flash VRALG1 tar found in DroidStyle's guide in the dev section then run this code. It will format /sdcard. Dialer codes are blocked on JB roms/modems because they presented an exploit when triggered from malicious websites.

Conversely, for the ERI tool, you need to have VRALF2, VRALG1, or VRALG7 modem (radio) installed for it to work properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
I downloaded the Root66 rom and was about to Odin back to that and then try the tool to fix my IMEI....what about that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Once I Odin back to Root66 rom, should I try the reprovision code before doing anything else? What about the IMEI tool? Should I not even bother trying to do all those steps and go straight to the reprovision code?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It's perfect so long as it's VRALF2 or VRALG1 ICS based.

Odin flash then let's try the reprovision first. If that doesn't work then you have the much longer method in the ERI tool to utilize and it should recognize your phone since you're on an older based modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok, so I should:

1. Odin back to Root66 rom (what about the modem? How do I do that? Or once I Odin back to Root66 will that take care of that?)

2. Dial reprovision code

Then what?

Also, what do I do if I get stuck in a boot loop?? My biggest problem is that I do not have home internet at all, my main source of internet is via tethering from my phone.....so I need to have all the instructions/options/answers before I start to do this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
When you Odin flash a full stock rom tar, it's like "reverse" applying an OTA. It installs everything: kernel, rom, modem, bloatware, locked bootloader, etc.

So:

1-2) Correct, do these.

3) Check your IMEI/ERI, don't post your actual IMEI if it returns to what is printed underneath your battery. Your iMEI is like your phone's SSN to Verizon, no IMEI = no network access as you so recently found out. You can even send out a text/call and definitely check if data works.

Edit: To answer your bootloop question. If Odin flashes the tar properly but when you reboot you are stuck in a bootloop OR it does not boot past the Samsung/Verizon splash, pull the battery then hold volume up, home, and power to boot into stock recovery and perform a factory reset.

To make sure I state this for the record, I personally suggest using the VRALG1 tar found in DroidStyle's guide in the dev section. Root66 will definitely work as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok, I will try this, but did you see what I added onto the end of my last post?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Also, super noob question, but assuming that fixes everything, how do I unlock the bootloader and get back up to the most recent version of Jelly Bean, but rooted of course and thus free to flash any rom I want again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok I am going to try it, hopefully you will be around when I am next able to tether successfully and have internet access....it could be half an hour or it could be 4 hours but I will post what happens in here when I can.....hopefully you will be around....Thank you for your help thus far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
See my edit above (post #11) which I posted at the same time you replied above.

If you use Root66, you'll just need to unlock your bootloader using EZ Unlock v1.2 which you can find via a quick google search. There is a thread on Rootzwiki which contains EZ Unlock v1.2, just install that app, tap the Unlock button and you're unlocked. That was easy. However, if you Odin flash stock VRALG1 (or VRALF2) then you can root/unlock however you so desire just make sure the root/unlock tool is specifically for your firmware.

The thing is, once you have confirmed that your IMEI is back and you can talk/text/surf again. I need you to

1) root

2) unlock

3) backup your IMEI using part A and B in this thread. This way, you don't lose your IMEI and have absolutely no way of retrieving it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok, you want me to stick to EZ Unlock v.1.2 even though the latest is 1.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes, v1.2 will work unquestionably.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Gotcha. Currently backing up my internal sd to my pc then I am going to start this whole process and hopefully I will be successful....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Lastly, to clear up any ambiguity about the root/unlock process. You have two options:

Option a) If on ICS VRALF2 or VRALG1, use NoxiousNinja's thread to root your firmware then use EZ Unlock v1.2 to unlock your bootloader.

Option b) Use Open1your1eyes thread to upgrade to VRBLK3 then root/unlock.

You still need to backup your IMEI using the Comprehensive IMEI/EFS thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok I just Odin'ed the Root66 rom and it said Pass and Successful but rebooted and it won't get past the 4G LTE Splash screen (the one with the colorful circles that zoom out with the LTE logo in the middle).....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Already covered in post #11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlikes08:
Reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik.

If none of that works, my wife had an issue like this once, she needed a new sim card (free) and fixed her right up.

At this point, my phone is just one big tweak.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok I did the battery pull, factory reset in stock recovery, then reprovisioned. After it rebooted I can now send and receive calls and texts BUT my eriversion says "None" and my IMEI is 0.

So what do I do now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Do a reboot and check if your IMEI reappears. I'm sure it will not. If not (as expected), now you can try the ERI tool since you're on compatible firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Used the tool and rebooted now my eri version is 5 and IMEI is correct and matches my sticker under battery.

Now I just root and I'm all good again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Verizon is trying to download the software update on my phone and I cannot stop it....that's not going to brick me is it

What do I do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You should be able to defer it to a later time. Then you'll need to

1) root

2) unlock

3) install a custom recovery, this will prevent the OTA from installing.

4) backup your IMEI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
I am somehow already rooted according to the root checker app...but I am on android 4.0.4 ... what should I do now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok I just verified and I am indeed rooted, my bootloader is indeed unlocked and I flashed cwm recovery successfully.

I want to go back to Galaxy Mod RLS 16 but that is a 4.1.1 Rom and I'm currently at 4.0.4.....I can't flash it now can I? I feel like there is another step I have to do but I can't figure it out??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Backup your IMEI with the Comprehensive IMEI/EFS thread. Do backup steps A and B. Do not lose the Synergy folder that gets created. You'll be all set to flash back to GalaxyMod after this and can recover your IMEI on your own.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok I did the backup both part a and b.

So now I can flash galaxy mod or any jelly bean Rom for that matter even though I'm currently on 4.0.4? Isn't there another step I have to do first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Update: Current Status

Well after going around and around and around and AROUND in circles trying to get everything to work correctly, I am currently in this state:

I am rooted.

My bootloader is unlocked.

I have CWM Recovery installed.

I successfully installed and am running GalaxyMod RLS 16 Android version 4.1.1

My baseband is I535VRLF2

I can tether successfully (very important to me)

I can call and send texts successfully.

BUT In the "Status" section of "About Device", although my phone number and ERI are both correct, my IMEI has somehow changed yet again to a random string of characters and under "Network" it says unknown.

Also, for whatever reason now (and this could just be a HUGE coincidence since I happen to have the worst luck in the world with everything) my external SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 micro-sd card is randomly not working. Sometimes I see the "Preparing SD Card" line in the notification bar and then it'll work and then 5 minutes later it doesn't, it's like it's not even there. I don't understand that at all.

So I have determined that at least for right now I am at a good stopping point seeing as I can call, text, use data, and tether successfully, but Monday night (2/25) I am going to need some help in fixing my IMEI.....do I just go straight to the tool and use that to fix it? By the way I did do the backup (both steps A and B) of my IMEI but I flashed the Root66 tar so many times in this whole process that I don't know if I still have it or how to check.....:confused::confused::confused:

So that is where I am at....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
My network is unknown as well, has been for some time but all works well and Galaxy Mod 15 & 16 are the only custom ROMS that I have ever flashed. Everything is working, so I have not nor will I attempt to fix anything. If I were you, I would back up data on my SD card and reformat it. You can then place data back on it. There have been reports of the cards going bad for no apparent reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
1) Your baseband (aka modem aka radio) does not change when you flash custom roms so you'd have to update that separately. Flash the latest VRBKL3 modem if you want to update that.

2) Did your IMEI change to a random string of numbers or is it just the same through the first fourteen digits and just that the fifteenth is gone? If it's the same first 14 digits, see my reply to HHF2 below.

3) Your sd card issues could be due to the kernel. Is your sd card formatted to fat32? If not, format it to fat32.

4) "IMEI has a random string of characters" Does this mean letters and numbers or is it a different string of numbers entirely?

5) Lastly, could you flash another TW rom which does not include MultiWindow and then check your IMEI? I'll recommend CleanRom by Scrosler for this test. Then report back whether your IMEI is normal or has a random string of characters.

The way I view it, each S3 rom with MultiWindow included/ported has had a small change on the IMEI being one digit off. Text/calls/data work so there's no need to worry. Most of the inquiries I have seen from Synergy, GalaxyMod, and Beans JB Build 9 threads support this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Hey buddy, it sounds to me like your problems are nothing more than display issues at this point. GalaxyMod, Synergy Rom, and some other mods/roms are known to cause display problems regarding the IMEI number due changes in the framework. However, it does not mean that your IMEI is actually lost. If you can make/receive phone call, send/receive texts, and your data is working as normal, then you don't have anything to worry about. If your IMEI was actually wrong, these things would not function properly.

In regards to the "Network: Unknown", I'm not 100% positive, but it is most likely a display issue as well if everything is working correctly. If you are really concerned, make a nandroid backup, and then flash a different ROM (such as CleanROM 5.6). go into the setting and everything will probably look normal. Then you can flash back to your nandroid backup and use your phone without worry.

Once you have a good IMEI, make sure to back it up!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok, I took a screenshot and this is my current IMEI. The IMEI is clearly wrong, but yes, everything works (I can call, text, use data and tether just fine). BUT everything worked fine before when I flashed this rom as well, and then one day out of nowhere the IMEI was 0 and I could not call or text. So what caused that?...I guess that's the million dollar question. I did not have this problem when I was back on RLS 12/13 (one of the two I cannot remember which one for sure). Sooo maybe I just download one of those older versions and flash that and roll with that? :confused::confused:

As for my micro-sd card now randomly failing, yes it is formatted to FAT32 and I have formatted it both on my pc and while inside my phone and it still works sporadically at best......When I was on RLS 16 before and the rom was working fine before this whole IMEI fiasco I had no problems with the micro-sd card....so it seems to have just risen up ever since I tried to fix my IMEI and come back to RLS 16....so I really don't have a clue about that. :confused::(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
I don't believe anyone is entirely sure what causes some people to lose their IMEI or why it occurs. It generally happens after flashing ROMs, but it can sometimes occur otherwise as well.

Your IMEI is not lost currently, it is just displaying weird because you are using the latest GalaxyMod RLS, which is known to cause that. You don't have to worry about it at all. If you were to flash to a different ROM with a less modified framework, your IMEI would display normally.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Ok, so just keep calm and carry on for now then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea. Like we both suggested, flash a different rom and you should see your normal IMEI. This specific issue is related to framework mods, so likely continue seeing those random characters as your IMEI on roms like Galaxy Mod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] picarito:
help i follow all this steps but my phne wont connect to the verizon network

:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
What exactly have you done? The first thing I'll suggest you to do is Odin flash VRALG1 from step 5 in DroidStyle's guide in the dev section then dial this code. That code will format /sdcard so backup your data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] picarito:
i flashed root66 and i factory reset it but i still didnt get service and where can i find droidstyle lg1 rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Doing a factory reset and dialing the sim reprovision code are two different things. Look in the dev section (not in original development) for a thread by DroidStyle, he only has one thread. You'll find the download for the VRALG1 tar there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] picarito:
ok i did the reprovision code and it worked and it rebooted and it worked now im getting mgs but my imei is still not showing:(should i put the code for the hidden menu and activate the port and use samsung meid repair?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea, using the ERI repair tool is the only other way to get it fixed at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] picarito:
which one do i do first, the one where it says repair eri or reopair the imei and meid?

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

and for the meid which one do i put the one thats dec or the one that is hex?

update: i got it working again thanks a lot sslimsnoop you saved my phone :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I honestly don't know. All I'm getting from reading the ERI thread and video is to follow the steps for IMEI. I've never ran it personally so idk anything about the dec or hex format.

So I've been looking at all these OS's being released and ZTE just released a Firefox OS phone. FireFox is putting Firefox Os on all these low budget devices and I'm wondering will it reach higher levels. So I decide to look and its on a few devices that are alright.

[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
I tried installing this ROM yesterday and came across a few issues. I tried coming from ICS rooted official, and zip would not install

So i downgraded to GB and installed, all worked did all the wipes and everything, but before bootscreen there is like a fuzzy screen that shows my last screen before the phone rebooted, is this normal?

And baseband v20c did not work with this rom, and with the one that came with this ROM, I couldn't get any service, phone number not showing (IMEI showing) and no data connection (wifi works)

I tried installing with TWRP and also CWM

Any help greatly appreciated because I loved the look of this ROM but it's of no use when I can't make phone calls or anything

Berni, thanks fisrt of all for your hard work and very nice Rom.

I was wondering about hand free volume when you put someone on speaker. Is there a way to increase the volume because it is really low even thought I max out the incall volume. In Gingerbread it was really loud. I have tried " ro.config.vc_call_volume_steps= " from 7 to 100 and that did not make a difference; I can barely hear the person I put them on Speaker. any idea?

Also I was wondering if there was a way to have missed calls count showing on the phone icon like the "BadgeProvider.apk" on those samsung phones?

Thanks for your time. Once again Great Work.

Now that most people are upgrading to v28b, the majority of potential PACman users will be on standard PT. Wouldn't it be wiser if next version came with vold.fstab 15? You could always make vold.fstab 16 and init.d/swapon as a flashable add-on for SU760 PT users. Just a suggestion. It will save you a lot of questions.
