doc_anurag 46 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 Urgent help guys!! My phone msid has got screwed up on its own and am not able to read from the phone either in cdma workshop or qpst. Is there a way of changing the msid from the phone itself so atleast my phone starts working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 Flash to stock using Odin.Use old Odin 1.8* Make sure you tik or check "phone EFS clear" that is the only way. If you do have your Nam back up. Once you are fine with Odin reboot, use cdma ws to restore your nam settings. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc_anurag 46 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Got the msid sorted out. You have to type in ##spc# and u can do nam programming from the phone, now to work on the data Now i have tried everything i know old modem with fresh settings, odin backed to stock rom with nvv reloaded but the damn internet refuses to work. I am no even able to connect to 1x forget about EVDO. I have doubts whether its a network issue as the phone worked fine for nearly a day after the latest update. Any suggestions???

Dont know if its a issue with the radio/rom, or its a local network issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) It can't be the network, HSD MODEM works fine. Tab works fine. But not our cells after the update. For now stay away from the update.<br /><br />Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2<br /> Edited September 27, 2012 by Vinod Nayak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Jellybean OTA update has started in Europe earlier than what was scheduled. Polish users of this handset have been the first non-Nexus handset owners to get this update. When will we get this, any idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Bro those who got the update were on International version of s3. For carrier branded versions like big red or sprint the update will be delayed for sure as once Sammy is ready with the update it needs their approval first also they need some time before they can load their bloat before the ota. My best guess is by November or at least by year end we should have it. Rest we have to wait and watch. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Do you suggest for custom JB ROM installation? Do they pose any problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Dada I don't dig for custom roms as I mostly need my phone to be reliable and use it as my daily driver. However I am tempted to flash cm10 rom for call conference feature. The best person afaik would be hitesh bhai to advise you over custom roms as he may be able to provide you first hand info. I guess he has already flashed some jb rom. Also i prefer to use the wait and watch strategy as at times roms with certain radio kernel combination can mess you real bad. For instance the current ota has already messed the data part for two s3 users. So don't try it out first unless someone can confirm it works smooth. Still it is your call best of luck Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 afaik, the custom ROMs for Exynos version are more buggy and unusable as daily driver than Qualcomm versions used in US versions of S3... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 I have rooted the phone and then allowed the downloaded ota to install and it failed However not sure if it may/may not bug me again to try installing it. If it does will clear the dalvik cache and I guess it will be all good. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 I had flashed cm10. Pretty smooth. Lot of issues with radio. Many stock features do not work. I suggest not to flash CM10. Stay away from the current OTA as well, my Evdo is not working after the update. I have reverted back to LG8, data working at 1x.

mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Really sorry to hear about yours and doc's beast running on 1x. I know how frustrating it is to use it 1x as I had to use it on 1x for a few days. Still I am wondering why are we not able to revert back to previous stock settings even after Odin and flashing old modem. This ota was meant to enhance lte radio bt instead it screwed our evdo Finally can you try switching it to lte/cdma network if you are on just cdma option and see if it makes any difference. I know it is a foolish suggestion but out here nothing makes sense anyways Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Lol don't be scared bro. Just make sure you use compatible Roms. Any thing can be undone by hard reset. Do it only if you know to reprogram. Else ask here. There are many who can help you. Cheers. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 I've rooted my S3. Now will wait for OTA official JB update. If it gets delayed inordinately, I'll try custom ROM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgiitk 32 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Going through all these above posts I'm getting scared about custom ROMs. I think there is no real way out. The vendor having shipped the phone is leat woried about updates (no money, and may delay your next purchase). So I think after six months or so coutom ROMs are the only real options.
