Actually it was a very old "Cleared-Out" version by Team Blackout, though no fault of theirs as it had been installed/uninstalled way too many times. Have had XDA Premium in the shadows for a while so I guess I'll start using that and give old Tapatalk a Viking funeral. Have a good weekend

[General Questions and Answers] GRRjayyy:
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Okay I'm not a complete noob but I can't seem to find the answer on xda, and I know the solution will always be on here somewhere!

Here's my problem:

I went from having cyanogenmod on my galaxy S 3, to restoring/unrooting/ going back to stock samsung android.

However now my phone won't pick up any signal.

Here's what the status settings say:

Network: Unknown

Signal Strength: -111 dBm 1asu

Mobile network type: Uknown

Service state: Out of service

Roaming: Not roaming

Mobile network state: Disconnected

ERI Version: Not available

etc.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what may help this situation??

Further information that may be useful:

My steps in returning my phone back to stock were as follows

Phone started as a rooted Samsung Galaxy s3 running the latest stable cyanogenmod with CWM.

Flashed to stock android using odin. (now unrooted)

Then re rooted phone. (stock android but rooted)

Used triangle away to reset flash counter

Factory reset.

Now unrooted, 0 flash counter, official android, recognises sim, just won't pickup any signal.

Please help!

Sounds like you need to find (and flash) the stock firmware that was on your device prior to flashing a CM ROM. Google your device and see what comes up.

Is firmware part of a Rom? Or is that a separate piece to the puzzel?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The term firmware is actually the correct term, firmware and ROM are the same thing, the only difference is that the firmware has things in it that a custom ROM doesn't have, there are things from the stock firmware that stay there even when you flash a ROM, things like bootloader and modem for example.
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
If firmware has certain different things, which do i download? Custom roms would obviously be just the ROM. But to return to stock, do i need the firmware?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have a nandroid of your stock firmware from before you flashed to custom then that's all you need as long as you have it, can boot to recovery and restore it. If you can't get to or restore the nandroid then yes you will need the stock firmware .tar to return to stock.

Man,you have to call your Network Provider and ask them to give you their APNs, happened to me twice. Usually if the Customer Service is good they'll tell you how to do everything :D

Sounds more like his imei is messed up, stock rom and most customs will auto fill the apn based on the sim inserted.

What model s3 do you have? Your IMEI might not be screwed.

If you did screw your IMEI there are some methods to restore it but you'll have to be really careful.

Some S3's are having that issue, in some cases all that is required is going back to the CM they had then changing the network settings then restoring their stock nandroid, there are some radio issues that the stock .tar does not fix.

If and when you get your phone straight I recommend doing a NVbackup in terminal, this will backup your NV data including your IMEI and can be easily restored with terminal command if the IMEI gets wiped out.

Is it really worth it to have a custom ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I never stay stock for more than a couple of days.

When I was on Samsung, I would flash AOSP ROMs because I didn't like the Touchwiz UI. Stock Android UI was much better for me.

Now I'm on HTC, and I like the Sense UI. But I don't want all the bloatware, and I want to customize my system. So I flashed a Sense based ROM that has lots of customization options, and got rid of the bloatware I didn't need.

Is it worth it to have a custom ROM?

Yes. For me it is.

For you it might be different.

If you are rooted, do a backup in recovery and flash a ROM or three and find out for yourself if it is right for you.

You can always restore the backup and get back to where you were.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That is up to the user, if you are fine with stock then stay stock, if you want more capability and control of your device and cool features then you'll want to try custom. As long as you can find guides that are confirmed by users with your device model and you follow those guides word for word then you will be fine, don't do any part of a guide if you don't understand it, research or ask questions until you understand it and have everything you need to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
So within some ROMs you can customize system things like color and what not?

NAND Scanner

Ok, so I could post here my request:

I've gone the Play Store over with a fine tooth comb by all imaginable Search Key, and although I've found some app that seems like remotely which I was looking, I could not find which I really need.

What I seek is the Android counterpart of this little Windows Program

http://steffengerlach.de/freeware/

The concerned Program is named Scanner, it doesn't require installation, it's only a handful of KB and it's Virus free; try it to understand what it is ;-P

The apps that I found had not the Pie Chart "browseable", and the best would be explore the "/" (Root) Directory, be able to analyze all existing Device Partitions and would be nice a little touch of Material Design! :)

Does anybody interested to develop this App? I can guarantee that would a unique app in the Store! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you mean theming then yes, you can even theme all of your apps individually if you're up to it. Theming can easily brick you though if you aren't careful and sure of what you're doing, changing fonts and stuff can be troublesome also. There is the Xposed installer that can be used to easily mod various things and makes things much easier to mod, it works on the stock touchwiz now.

You have to go by what your device and battery are rated at if you don't want to have issues, using chargers that are out of specs can cause many issues, such as: overheating which leads to hardware and/or battery damage, it can also damage the USB port where it is soldered to the motherboard.

You kinda can if the specs are the same but that would require you to Port the ROM yourself over to your device by editing the ROM with stuff from your device so that it can work on yours, but that's really tricky and can lead down a bad road if you aren't up to the task, it takes time to learn and can lead to bricking and restoring a lot until you get it right.

You can't just flash anything on anything, how these devices are partitioned and setup are all different, embedded firmwares that remain on the device even with a ROM are what matters, its those parts that limit what can be flashed
