It's highly unlikely that you would lose all that from.flashing I've made some bad flash's just like that but never had it do that.

A few questions that could help us determine your solution
1,what ROM/is version did you flash and what stock/modded stock version did you reflash?

2,how did you you flash your phone Odin/mobile.Odin?

3,what modem version are you at now?
"Check by going to settings >>> about phone >>> baseband version

You will must note that using a modem from aosp like ICS will not work on stock jelly bean or vice versa

4.what's your kernel number ? Same way you checked baseband
What version of the kernel did you flash and what you are on now.

Answer theses to the best of.your knowledge please

Okay I've seen this before I've actually had this happen to me when I uninstalled su with no custom recovery or files took me 17 hours to fox my girlfriend was very pissed.

There is a thread in here about how to fix it but I am to lazy to look for.it so I'll just retype it


First here what's you do have you files ready "I used gb27 for this you can use gc01

one clicks no data restores are the best for this

Power off your phone plug in USB enter download mode open your one click if downloaded it and hit start once it finds you TCP connection to your phone wait for it to finishe

"Mine took a lot of trys to work cause my laptop was very old and the USB ports were very slow
I ketp getting kicked on hidden.IMG so I would back and forth of Recovery's stock and agats until I managed to wedge a custom recovery and from there I had zips of my ROMs on the phone so I would use stock gb27 zip to restore NY phone back to default. Sometimes it works other times it dosent.

Step one enter download mode "pull the battery plug phone in reput in the battery and hold vol down + pwr until download mode came up"

Step 2 on your Odin flash your ROM.of choice "one clicks or not full restores wipes user data no data restore will not wipe user data"

Step 3 wait for it to get done and onces it done wait for.it to boot back up and it should be fine

If not then keep reading
This will be tricky just bare with me please I haven't had any sleep and I'm.fighting with my girl friend ATM :/

Step 4 reenter download mode and get Odin no one clicks just a normal Odin get a custom recovery I preference el26 "its about the safest and fastest to use especially in this mess"

Step 5 flash the recovery and pray it goes through if it did then reboot your phone into recovery mode wipe factory / reset wipe cache wipe davlik reboot back into download mode and retry step 2

Step 6 kick back with a six pack and watch the light show 8)


+note+ all your.info for you carries is on the phone you didn't lose it, its just your android might be corrupted so you have to flash new

Also if you don't use a one click for.modem make sure you flash your modem version before you exit step 5 other wise you will not have data and you.with have to go back and reflash el26 just to flash the modem along with your kernel "recovery" to boot back into your ROM

Something to note, Mobile Odin can not do modems properly on this phone. You must either use PC Odin or flash the zip format for the modem in custom recovery. Also note that GB27 and GC01 are the same. The only difference on the ROM is the labeling and bloatware. The kernels are the same, the modems are just made with different build numbers just to match the build for the ROM. I am running GB27, and have been so for quite some time.

Flashing a modem with Mobile Odin will cause problems and loss of data.

First, you can't do activation or prl updates on anything but a stock based ROM. How exactly did you flash back to stock?

Okay there is the problem. I have encountered other users that have used the deodexed GC01 and have had problems. I believe there is something wrong with that ROM. Do the one click install of the STOCK ROM. There is just something about the deodexed one that seems to not act right.

You could also flash to a Sprint ROM and just use your MSL to set your MMS server setting to Boost. I run GB27
