My friend just rooted his international version model GS3 and his 3G reception is . It was bought unlocked to any carrier (T-Mobile sim in it) and it came with SuperSu and CWM installed, but none of the root functions would work so he ran it through odin yesterday and re rooted it and all the root functions now work, but his 3G isn't working right. It also says "Emergency Calls Only" in the notification menu when it would normally say T Mobile. Stock ROM.

Check setting-about device-status-imei number. Make sure imei number is there and matched the number printed inside back cover.

thanks for ur replay the imei its not the same in thee phone the first nu?bers 0094 and in the cover 353
Did you back up your efs? I'm going to take a wild guess that you didn't. If not and you have flashed different stock roms and modems then it's service center time.

What about the serial number?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
No EFS backup then its worth a factory reset and flash a stock rom before service centre .
But as you have flashed multiple roms its probably to late to help .

Thanks for replayy for the serial nu?ber is 0000000 we dont hava center in morocco

Well, I believe you should be a little worried for the future - I am a little surprised that the phone still lets you place calls on the network, the phone was probably a totally unlocked version from the start.

LOL !
Sorry :/. But it's funny... Lot of people try custom ROM / change the kernel .. but always the same sentence : "I don't have backup / I don't have EFS backup". It's the first thing to do (bakcup EFS folder) after unpacking and rooting the phone.
Now, we can try flashing an official galaxy S3 rom. If it doesn't work, thanks Wanamlite and welcome to Samsung Service Center (no phone for 1 month and some $ for us).
Well I made a nandroid back up and I deleted it by mistake lol (

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If the IMEI has changed probably something went wrong with your /efs
try to search the new IMEI in google, maybe its a default one assigned when efs is corrupt ; but not every carriers will allow it.
If you did not save youe /efs only Samsung service can restore it and you may have to pay.
Yes it's only the imesv so it's nothing to be worried about ??? ... I flashed stock and it back to 01 ...

Nandroid backups all the phone excepted /EFS folder, so it is useless for you !
If only IMEI SV is changed, no worry about it.

I have S2 from orange, I can't decide whether my phone is Sim locked or not!
I was running the Sim normally before and then my phone got some problem, I flashed the latest ICS 4.0.4 (Rooted with Siyah Kernel). Now when I insert the sim it gives No Service! I have tried to insert other Sim but all give the same No service problem.
At the time of inserting sim it doesn't ask for unlock code and I can't determine the state of unlock from *#Simlock#
Thanks for helping
Check your IMEI. If its one particular Imei number, then your Efs is corrupted.
What do you mean by particular IMEI?
MY IMEI is 35884XXXXXXXXXX
And its 15 digit ... what does it mean?

Particular IMEI means the IMEI has repeating numbers. At least that's what I think.
Sent from my potato.
Nop it doesn't have any repeating numbers in it
If its from Orange then it will be locked to them. In about phone in settings are you showing a baseband version?
Sent from my GT-I9100
The baseband is I9100XXLQ6
Before ICS I was running Gingerbread and the Sim was running in it normally

By 'particular' Imei I meant one particular Imei number which you get when efs gets corrupted. Unfortunately I dont know which number exactly that is... :/
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks a lot for your help
The problem got solved ... I gave my cell to repair because it wasnt charging ... during the repair they forgot to place the antenna wire therefore I was getting no service when I inserted the sim ... thank you all

There is a thread floating around somewhere that explains how you can restore it if you didn't make a backup. But for the life of me I can't find it.
But it's definitely out there somewhere

I'm using the GT-I9300
I was told to flash to stock firmware but i am totally clueless to what stock firmware i should use as there are so many out there.
dude.. didn't u make a nandroid backup?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
nope, no backup was done.
I think its time for a paid repair
Use odin and restore to a 4.0.4 Firmware then reset flash counter and then update with kies to 4.1.1 and your imei should be back if it's not then return it to samsung/the place you bought it from and get a warrenty repair ( and what ever they just say u havent flashed it ever )
any idea to what 4.0.4 firmware i should flash it to.

you can fix it by using the search button , already answered 10 times...or for you:
try to reflash the rom, that worked for me, otherwise you can try the CSC changer from the market, but be careful as it will format your rom & sd card. In general CSC unknown is not a big issue (at least it was not for me, anything worked just fine).
If I was at a desktop computer id have used the search feature it also let's me know if I have dupe thread mobile app doesn't let me know. I'll try flashing stock ROM but the one I used didn't have a CSC but im sure I can find out how to do it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes reflash the firmware. It worked for me too.
