Maulik.Parekh 34 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Ok guyss ..... so finally i developed some courage and after utter disappoint of losing "my precious" ... i went on issuing this command .. after enabling USB debugging .... "adb reboot nvrestore" This copied the backup(factory) copy of NV stored somewhere, I dont know where to my active NV. Once done .. phone tried to reboot but stuck in galaxy s3 logo of bootup. Then I ODINed the LG1 ROM. After ODIN was done ....... Phone rebooted ...... AND yes now I have NETWORK as well as EVDO without doing any additional settings..... If someone has courage ... they can try nv restore on MB4 ... but for now I am exhausted and would refrain from trying anything naughty !!!!!! :-) :-) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maulik.Parekh 34 Report post Posted June 29, 2013 No matter what modem u flash .. NV is modified by MD1 update .. now the option as suggested by kshah would work (after every reboot has to be repeated) or you will have to restore nv as i mentioned earlier.. but is risky and you will have to come to mb1 ... @kshah ... yes the phone had nv backup somewhere probably in backup efs partition.. but i wonder when i did nv rebuild why was that not restored .. mystery ..

ashishsethi 55 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 @Sougata, please share what Rom are you rooted with now. Is it running smoothly? Any bugs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 Stock ROM. I haven't gone for any custom ROM yet. After the recent recovery from data mishap owing to the latest OTA update, it is clear that no more official update is safe. So, better to root it off. It's running flawlessly as ever. However, one lacuna of stock ROM on JB (unavailability of conference calling) will probably drive me towards a custom ROM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, one lacuna of stock ROM on JB (unavailability of conference calling) will probably drive me towards a custom ROM. I Just posted this in my note 2 thread, Would repeat again, stay away from OTA, and if you want to change roms then flash only tw based roms in sim based handsets like note 2 and s3 of vzn and us cellular. Anything based on cm or aosp will also mess with functioning of the phone. One thing which should be kept in mind is NEVER TO UPGRADE OR UODATE RADIO OR MODEM IN THREE HANDSETS ESPECIALLY IN JELLYBEAN AND LATER. STICK TO THE WORKING MODEM AND ROOT THE PHONE INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY AND FLASHING TOUCHWIZ BASED ROMS ONLY.

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 ^^^ Thanks for your concern, Doc. I'll surely do research before finalizing the custom ROM, if any. I'm quite satisfied with the stock ROM only except its Call Conferencing inability. I wonder why on Earth better versions (over gingerbread) of android have been robbed off a simple and basic but indispensable feature of telephony, i.e. call conferencing, which is otherwise easily available on basic no-frill cheap phones. BTW, any suggestions on USC S3 custom ROM which can support call conferencing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshm 818 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Well to be honest, I have never made conference call from my own phones, as matter of fact never made a call itself. So Donno Which of them support this feature. Morph and wizwnheimer are based off of tw and are debloated tweaked and optimised roms with morph having great theme sent from my NOTE II, yupp size does matter.

joshm 818 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 Try this *#197328640* Select version info Select option 2 twice and then option 4 if I remember correctly. It will give you the phone setup date. It worked on international version. Should work with others too. sent from my NOTE II, yupp size does matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srinivasd 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Experts, i am using Sprint Galaxy S3 programmed for RCOM CDMA. All the data and voice plans are working great. I have only 1 issue I am unable to have 3 party conference call using this phone, which has the latest Android etc. If i call the first called and then go and add the second caller it does not work. From the operator side 3 way calling is already enabled. Is this the limitation of the S3 to RCOM conversion or am i doing something wrong. Kindly help me out.
