Root [Virgin Mobile] *UPDATED OP* VM SGS3 Stock Radio - FIXED!

JupiterOne said:
I never could get punkmaxx modem file or any other to work through odin. They either failed or didn't fix anything. out of curiosity i made a zip package with the stock modem/firmware from the stock firmware package. I flashed it from twrp and it installed just fine. Now when i re flash the rom i do not lose lte. This may work to return your service. Try that package and see what happens. It's the same modem as punkmaxx but in a flashable zip package and the rest of the firmware files.
vmu_gs3_stock_md7_modem-firmware.zip

P.S. i was able to flash the two mg2 update files successfully but only the build changed to mg2. Baseband is still md7 BUT since i flashed the modem zip, i no longer lose data connection!!!!!!!

P.S.S. if someone with a pure mg2 build/baseband could extract the modem and send it to me i can try and fix the baseband problem to get us to mg2. If you have pure mg2 run this command in a terminal or from adb shell if you know how...

Wait but what do I do now I have the message preparing network after flashing TheBritton's stock file and I don't know if I should call VM and have the RTN reset done?

No 3G or 4G but I do have Cell Signal and I can make calls but what do I do call VM and get an RTN Reset because my APNs are messed up which is what I believe is causing the dead data. Also I can't update PRL or Profile so I'm stuck
Edit: Maybe if I manually update the PRL and Profile if someone provides it to me?
 
if your after a RTN reset and you flashed the reset counter rom file and then kies restored the phone. call vm support and tell them an update messed up your data connection. ie no internet but you can make calls. follow along with thier support steps and you should get a tier 2 rep who will have rtn reset the phone.

But the flash counter reset messed up my phone in the first place and with kies just reset my phone to factory (no root) and then call VM?
Edit:Kies isn't initializing the phone
 
Right now Kies refuses to initialize my phone it downloads and then close itself. I ran TheBritton's file and unrooted but I still have dead service.
 
I tried to flash the file through odin earlier and it failed as well. Something about secure check. I'm trying to get my modem/apn setting correct because my 3G is kinda screwy. It seems sometimes like it isn't connected even though it shows 3G on the status bar. MMS works fine though, but usually after getting a mms, a webpage will not load or the stock weather app will fail to update when refreshing. Any ideas?

Thanks for what you guys do!
