Hi Everyone,
I know there are a few thread around with the same purpose, but nothing helped me. I even did ping few members who claimed to have known the problem, to my bad, they are busy to reply me. So i thought i would start a new thread explaining my problem.
I got a new Galaxy GT I9300 Before 3months in Singapore, The shop is famous for selling smuggled phones, so i am not sure to which country mine belongs to. There was no network initially, so the shopkeeper offered his help, He gave the mobile to a nearby service centre and got it ready,
I am not sure what he did, but d phone had CWM and Super User. I already own a Galaxy S2 and i have done a lot of flashing Custom MOD's, So i wanted my Galaxy S3 to be original for a while. So i tried to restore by flashing a official firmware, To my surprise the phone didnt have any network in it after the ODIN flash. I tried an INDIAN firmware, then Singapore.
I tried CWM (which i am not a pro) but couldn get back the network. I went back to the service centre and he told some files are corrupted since i flashed the phone with official firmware.
He again flashed it, now the network works, voila ! I couldn figure out and he wouldn tel me. ****ing $40 !!! The phone had CWM and SuperUser installed in it again.
The phone had the following information after wat ever he did.
IMEI - 3531*********99 it is same in d board and in the phone information.
MODEL NUMBER - GTI9300
ANDROID VERSION - 4.0.4
BASEBAND VERSION - I9300DXLE9

Can anyone please infer on what the service guy had done. so that i can update my phone to JB. I am sick and bored of the same firmware for over 4 months and i wanna change it. But i dont want to get struck in the same issue. Please help and advance thanks !
I am afraid you had bad luck
1. You should NEVER pay for stuff that does not work (and is not with original firmware).
2. You should also read this - it is almost certainly the same story (in your case SN 00000000 should also give a strong clue things are not what they should):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34226179
3. Since whoever f***ed those things the first time on your phone did not make an efs image-backup you can never return to factory state!
4. You are basically stuck with a phone where you will have to apply a patched modem after each ROM upgrade.
when you say patched modem what do you mean.?
Patched modem ???
When u say patched modem, can u explain tat ? Is it possible to create one by ourself ?

A patched modem apparently is modem code that does not check all the stuff in the efs partition (for instance when SN is 00..00) - I am currently using the one posted by ariza somewhere around. Patching one might be quite complex and for the moment I did not have the time to research that. The only problem that I see is that certain providers are said to be using very unusual modem code (since they have unusual settings in their own network) - and in that case you need to use a patched version of that specific modem version - but so far I have not seen that happening in a very repeatable way in posts from european networks.
The other problem is that when you install any full ROM (for instance 4.1.2) that will overwrite your modem - so you will have to re-install the old patched modem (so far ariza_v04.zip seems to work OK with 4.1.2 on my operator's network).
Serial no 000000...
Thousands of Thanks man, I have been facing the same problem from last few days after flashing cwm6 and UltraRom. hi can you please suggest me an modem for Samsung Galaxy s3 I9300 Indian version.

Hello friends,
I am living in Israel and got the SC-02 (a friend brought me from Japan).
I put on the phone the operating system ICS (Open Europe - the offial version).
I notice that i got no GPS working , and i got some cellular reception problems (some times delay in calls, calls are cut in the middle and sometimes no reception at all).
From what i have read in this forum i understand that the SC-02 got different hardware and memory from the Eruropian version.
Does anyone knows where can i find an official ICS sutiable for my phone including instructions ?
I found some unofficial guids, for Cyanomode + SC-02 kerenels , but the instructions seems very complicated and unclear...(i didnt root my cell phone).
If this is the only choice that i have got.. does anyone know of a good instructions link (or can tell here in simple words what have to be done ?)
I will relly appreciate any help ...please..
Many thanks ,
Ran
Your "Special" Galaxy SII
Hi Ran,
I too have been gifted with a SC-02c in Israel.
My first recommendation is that you try and give it back. You REALLY REALLY want the international version which is the version used in Israel. Failing that cry a little after you have finished with that.
1) You can actually burn the local versions of the firmware but you need to preserve the
- Kernel of the SC-02c
- Modem of the Sc-02c
If you do that everything will work fine minus the FM radio and NFC
See following link for help :
---www&japanmobiletech&com_search_label_SC-02C---
replace & with .
Replace _ with\
2) Don't break the screen as you will not be able to easily replace the screen in Israel as the chassis of the SC-02c and the international version are not the same.
The solution: I let you know in a few days as I have to replace mine.
Hi , Many thaks
Nice to know that other guys in Israel already encounter the same problem.
I have ICS (Open Europ ) on my device now.
Can you please explain how can i change the kernnel and modem version ?
Shell i do it with Udin ? where can i find the correct kernnel and modem version for
the SC-02C (does it suit with ICS ?) ? I Cant see the link you put here ..
Thanks,
Ran

hello gays,

can u please guide me how to solve the problem?
tnx,

SC-02c in ISrael
See instructions at the website I gave you. I had to change the "." and "\" as this forum won't allow me past links at the moment.
It explains how to burn "kernel & modem" and using heimdall
You can use the Kernel from Siyah which will give you root access and other neat features. If you want to use the "original" kernel & modem you need to find the ICS version of sc-02c at website
samsung-updates&com_category_news
but I wouldn't bother just use the version from Siyah.
Let me know how you go.
Hi,
After aloog try i cusseded in flashig the ICS official ROM (from sammobile the V. from 16 June). I needed to configure again the partitions (Via original SC-02C PIT file) , after that i turn into old android version (2.3.6) and after that the ICS.
For now everthig is working fine exept from the GPS..
I use :
Model no :SC-02C
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband Version : SC02COMLPG
Kernel version : [email protected]#3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 13 20:42:11 KST
Build no : IML74K.OMLPG
While i am doing reset (boot) for my cell l see the Samsung i9100 icon in the first screen , any idea way ?
Any idea what is the problem with the GPS ?
Many thanks ,
Ran
Thats It guys !!
I download the "GPS Status" application . I did --> tools-->Manage A-GPS state
Reset , and afterwards --> Download (to get GPS assistance from network).
Now the GPS is working , and everything is fix (with the official ICS ).
Thanks for all !!:laugh:
Excellent.
Actually you can change to the official "Orange - Israel" ICS if you want.
Where can I find the GPS Status app on PLAY ?

Hi,
"Another newbie reporting to this forum" ~~~~~~I just changed from Iphone 3GS to Samsung S3, so I'm new to this whole "new" world. I got my S3 from Kogan (HK) and the phone is international version.
I did some search and found out my phone is the European Version as per this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1725348.html
My questions are:
1. Can I flash the firmware to Australian/China Stock ROMs, instead of (correct version from samfirmware.com) - - File: GT-I9300 I9300BUALF1 Android 4.0.4 2012 June I9300VFGALF1 United Kingdom (Vodafone)?
2. What are the difference between the different regions of the stock ROMs?
2. Currently my phone's battery drains so quickly, is there any way to have this fix???? Have already selected advanced Wifi setting - - -Keep wifi on during sleep (Never), but still run out very quickly.

Thanks for the reply JJE! can you please clarify the following for me?
1. I've already rooted my stock rom and applied the battery fix, if I need to install the Australian Vodafone stock for example, do I need to use TriangleAway to reset Flash Counter first than re flash the new rom?
2. You mentioned the modem and CSC difference, what are they in relation to the phone and any affects to the phone by flashing the different Region's Stock ROM?
3. My friend is using the Australian version of S3 and doesn't have any problem with his phone. I did some search on the net and found out the battery problem affecting lots of international version of S3 phones. Although after I applied the battery fix via this link - - - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732722 , I'm still having the problem with the battery, therefore is possible for me to flash the Australian Stock ROM and hopefully the different region's ROM will fix this issue.
4. Is there any links that I can follow easy enough for newbie like me to flash the ROM without brick the phone?

After flashing
Warranty = run triangle away then flash stock rom .
2. You mentioned the modem and CSC difference, what are they in relation to the phone and any affects to the phone by flashing the different Region's Stock ROM?
Modem generally work every place but some are better in some locations and you need to try if having network problems .
CSC just local area network setup details instead of manual entry .

Know nothing about a SGS3 battery issue the fix power profile is not battery its just stats wrongly shown means nothing at all .

Thanks JJE!!!!
After installed the battery profile, my phone's battery status is back to normal. I tested since this morning with 100% and I still have 60% left, although most of the time left in idle mode, where as when I first got my phone, the battery drop to 80% after 20 minutes after unplug from the power.
I found the file - CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip from this forum, after the installation, how can I tell my phone is rooted or not?
PS: Sorry I'm asking so many questions!

You would need to use an app that requires root privileges .
You can run 6.4 and then it is rooted ,

This is just an example but on mine it has the wrong firmware numbers, how can I cange it?
My build number
Hello everyone, New guy here to this forum but not new to Android. I have had an andriod phone about 3-4 years ago and ended up with an apple product. I have just received the S3 International I-9305 version and wanting to root it because of the power drain and hoping to be able to control this. I have been reading the root section and was about to start but there was one thing it was asking and it was the build number. I have located on my settings on the about tab. I do not see a matching build number for some of the profiles they are asking to match. Can someone point me in the right direction with the info posted below. I would like to root the phone with a samsung based rom. themes will come later, and do I need to have a micro sd card to root? will this keep me from performing the task? My card is in the mail and I cant wait for it to begin rooting the phone. Here are my stats, I have also updated to the latest software and it still says 4.1.2.

GT-I9305

4.1.2

how is it relevant to this thread? ask in the i9305 section
Cool, got help else where. I thought it would be relevant to determine the firmware needed to select to perform the root process.
Tapatalk on GSIII
Framaroot should work on all SGS and more but be aware that flashing something like in this case problably a kernel from SGS3 I9300 to a SGS3 I9305 will probably lead to a brick.
i have Samsung Galaxy s2 gt-i9100(rooted) and suddenly my network signal was missing. and i dialed *#06# and display no imei and unknown baseband . so how to solve that problem?

baseband - unknown

No EFS backup ? Try flashing some stock roms. If that doesn't work, service centre or local mobile repair shop; they have equipment to write the IMEI back to the device.
Yes sir i have i have tried to restore but it didnt work
neddinary
Sir give links to flash rom
plz
Samfirmware. No, I'm not going to give you a direct link; did your last slave die of overwork per chance ?
same problem
what firmwere should i download if it dosnt show up any baseband version????
Did anyone gotta solution?? :crying:
Try all the firmwares for your country/carrier (not 4.0.4 though, just in case you flash & forget then do a factory reset. If you've flashed a couple of those & your IMEI hasn't returned, it's fairly safe to say it isn't coming back; take it to a local mobile repair shop, many have the equipment to re-write the IMEI to the device fairly cheaply.
Did you manage to sort this? I was asked to look at a friends S2 which was showing no IMEI number, and I managed to sort it....

Spill the beans then; what did you do to fix it ?

Ah.... this fone was completely stock, still running Gingerbread 2. whatever!!
So.... all using Odin....
I updated-no joy
I rooted-no joy
I flashed newer custom ROM-no joy
Then, I tried flashing Stock 4.1.2, and away it went!!
IMEI number replaced, fone now working, friend well impressed!!
The files are I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar.md5
I'm not sure how to post a link (perhaps someone could show), I got them from YouTube, but have them if anybody needs them.
But if you Google for that, and you're on UK S2 I9100, you should be fine!!
Hope this helps some people, please bear in mind the usual : "I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused...."
Hi Everyone,
I am typing this query under severe worry about my galaxy s3.I am dying for any help experts would be able to provide please.
I had 4.2.1 stock ROM installed on my s3 and im a very frequest visitor to xda for custom roms.
I downloaded the Android revolution 40 ROM for S3 and installed it after taking a backup of my stock ROM using recovery
When i booted into the new 4.3 revolution i was getting the error " not registered on network".
I searched the threads here in xda and did everything like ariza patch and flashing mg4 modem but even now the phone was not able to register to network Airtel
the most strange part is i get full signal,I have baseband and also IMEI still it doesnt connect to network
now the most strange part.If anyone calls me they are able to get the ring but im not getting any notification and the phone is idle.
I tried to search for network from mobile networks but it gave msg as "error when searching for network"
I took the phone to Samsung service centre and they told me they will reinstall 4.1.2 and it will work
I waited for 2 hrs and they told me its done.I put the simcard in and again i have same "not registered on network error"
Im sure they dont know how to sort this issue and the only thing they did was reinstall firmware which did not help
Im very afraid now that my mobile is permanently gone and i feel very bad for this
I hence request the experts to help me and bring my device back to normalcy which will releive me of stress mentally.
Please help ASAP.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Sir,
Many thanks for youre reply.
Today i got a call from the Samsung Service Centre that they are unable to fix the "netowkr not found problem"
They told me that there is some problem with the motherboard and it will cost 9000INR which is approx 155 USD to change the motherboard
They told me that is the only way the phone can get the network back and there is no other option.
I read your reply and I will download stock 4.1.2 from sammobile and flash with odin at home and flash the patched MG4 modem today.
That is my last hope as i cannot afford 155 USD for the motherboard as it is 1/3rd the price of my mobile.
They din charge me anything and gave my phone back.they have installed 4.1.2 stock I9300DDEMG2 modem and build number I9300XXEMH4.
I will post tomorrow what is the stauts of my phone.
Many thanks anyways for your help,this is my only final attempt to save my S3.
I hope it works.
Many thanks anyways for all the help

Hi Everyone,
I would like to inform you all that finally I have revived my S3 and it recognizes the network now.
I flashed the patched modem on my stock Indian firmware and my IMEI became 0049....
I found out that my SGS3 was bought in UAE by my cousin and hence i downloaded the 4.1.2 stock UAE firmware and flashed it.
Again no signal and no network
Finally as a last step before giving up i again flashed the patched modem and restarted the phone and it connected to network
My baseband is back,IMEI is back to normal,able to connect to network and everything works now
The only glitch now is that the serial number is 000000
I dont think it affects the phone in anyway.
Aslo one more question,can i update from OTA software updates in Samsung or again my phone will have "no netowkr problem"
Kindly advise
Many thanks anyways for all the help
OTA updates only available to unmodified handsets, running unrooted stock rom, recovery etc. All this and more is in the general forum, sticky threads -go read them.

Hello Everyone,
I've tried searching for this issue in the forum, but nothing was close to what I was experiencing.
I have come across a used T-mobile galaxy s5 here in my country (Morocco), It's unlocked, but I don't know what kind of flashing operations this phone has undergone before falling into my hands.
The main issue is that the network connection is unstable, it drops every 15 minutes or so, and when I try to make calls I get the error message '' not registred to network "
The IMEI Number seems good, I'm running a stock t-mobile Rom (with all the software, and the t-mobile logo on boot) and I've update my firmware with samsung Kies. The issue is still there.
My main interrogation is what do I try now to make it work, it seems to me that the baseband needs to be patched or something like this to work with our local carrier (Itssalat al Maghrib) but I'm open to all of your suggestions.
Thank you very much for your help and time.
