[Q] Emergency calls only!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

2 weeks ago I flashed Ultima Rom onto my phone and It won't connect to my network so I restored my android backup with still no luck.I brought it to the shop where I bought the phone and they fixed it straight away for me.
Last not I flashed android 4.1.1 stock Rom through Odin and it said emergency calls only again so I rooted the phone once again to make sure my phone didn't lock to a certain network but everything is still unlocked. I tried to restore my refs backup but got stuck in a boot loop so I restored back to the android backup again.
I can't seem to figure out how to get my phone connected to the network. My imei is corrupted and it's the same as what it is on the box. I've searched the internet for a solution but have found nothing.
Does anybody know how to fix this??
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Usual suspects .
Not correct IMEI
EFS faulty
User does not have correct modem
User has not entered network settings / has wrong CSC for network/location .

Could you tell me how to go about trying to fix it.i have no idea what to do.

Is your IMEI the same as under the battery .
Have you restored your backed up EFS folder .
Have you the correct CSC for your network OR have you entered the network settings yourself .
Do you have a modem for your region .

Restore your backed up efs folder as per the instructions .
failing that search for IMEI fix or flash stock firmware see if you get IMEI back .
no IMEI means unrecognised phone network will not accept it .

One us a bigger text two read the multiple identical posts for a solution .
The basic answer is to restore your backed up EFS folder as that is the first step .
Second try factory reset or flash stock firmware .
Fails then its a service centre repair .

[Q] Selected Network Unavailable on my S3

The Current Problem with my s3 is that it cannot register on a network. It shows Selected network Unavailable
My phone i got it second hand, It used to show a Tmobile Start screen beofre i updated it.
I flashed my phone using odin and loaded firmware with baseband version i9300DDLJ1 . I think this baseband version is indian based. After i flashed the start screen started showing Samsung insted of Tmobile . Initially when i flashd the IMEI got changed. Later IMEI was corrected from a Mobile shop using their STP box
So soon after i flashed , the phone cannot register on network. I messed up with the EFS folder i think . I dont have any backup of EFS folder
The current Situation is IMEI is corrected , The phone shows list of all availalbe network when i search manually . But once i select my home network it shows selected network unavailable. I tried to restore/reset the phone several times . Tried with different Sim card also. No use , still it cannot register on to network
My Conclusions
EFS Folder Is messed up
IMEI is Corrected Using STP box
Base Band is i9300DDLJ1
Originally Phone is Tmobile Based
Phone Variant is GT-i9300
Problem is Cannot Register to network

Solved using z3x samsung tool pro
Enable usb debbuging, connect to your pc using usb cable, root your phone , start Samsung tool pro, select com port, go to repair tab and click on patch certificates. I've tried all other solutions I found on different forums, bricked the phone several times, but this did the trick.

[Q] No network - Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300

Hello guys,
I`ve been watching all this topics for a while cuz I have some problems with my Galaxy S3. I`ll tell you what i did.
All worked fine, had the 4.1.1 official rom + root, then i wanted to go to 4.1.2 so i flashed an UK stock ROM. After that i kept getting the "Sim has been removed" error need restart bla bla.. so i search all around for a fix.. i changed 2 SIM cards and nothing. Then I flashed a Poland version 4.1.2 Stock. That version was better but I encountered the "Call ended" error.. calls would end after 3-4mins or i could not call at all. Then i flashed (and this is when the problem started) Stock Vodafone Spain and got "No network". I must say my IMEI/ SN all are intact.
Then I patched only radio modem from the UK ROM with Odin, but with "PHONE" option (i know i did wrong).. i wanted to change only the modem and it worked cuz i checked with *#1234#.. but from that moment not even one ROM has worked in showing me the network. On About phone says "Network: Unknown". Sometimes it connects to Vodafone but when I try to call says "No network service".
Now my phone is in second service and they can`t make it get a network on. They tryed the neverlock thing but i think was already unblocked.
I tryed rooting and using this Ariza. and were 2 versions there.. I tryed v5 only and didnt worked.
I tried the ##72786# and I get the following message: Connection Problem or invalid MMI code (found somewhere that for this code i need to have Wifi on to work?)
Now i`m thinking to get my phone back and dunno reflash with a good .pit file ? or just reRoot and try v4 Ariza.. I`m really sad, it`s been 5 days and I can`t think on nothing else to do.. I even called Samsung official service and they said to send it to them.
If you have any idea, pls need help. tnx
Check your IMEI is the same as under the battery .
Samsung will reject warranty .

you are right.. IMEI and SN are not the same.. pff what to do now?
Restore your backed up EFS folder.
jje
But i think i backed up the EFS folder with the modified IMEI. What can i do now?
nothing. replace the motherboard
SOLVED!
Ok so tnx to JJEgan i checked all the IMEI numbers and only 2 of them were modified. Thing is before I pached the v5 Ariza, I did a EFS backup with that program. That backup img saved my phone.
Firstly I got my phone back from service with 4.2.1 official ROM (thats nice, cost me 0 $ ). I rooted with CF-Auto and used Ariza patch (v4). But my imei was still wrong so after that I used EFS_Backup_Restore_new_ADB.rar to restore my IMEI/SN with the old EFS backup then I used another programEFS Professional v2.0. I checked the option to repair No network and clicked Restore. After that I restarted my phone and I got the messages from provider with APN settings and so on.
Thank you for the help :good:
worked till first restart... now No network again, I`m not a samsung/android fan anymore..

[SOLVED] No network detected ????

Hey Guys;
A month ago my phone died on me. After a 1 month hassle of the company trying to dodge doing repair the phone on the warranty, they finally gave up.
They replaced the motherboard and when I got it, it gave me zero bars and no network. I took it back and they returned back with a different rom but it was working. The first was some samsung s3 in arabic version rom. The second was a chinese samsung s3 rom. Since I couldn't get arabic keyboard I decided to flash super nexus rom but now I have zero bars and no network showing.
The hardware specs are in the attachments.
Any idea how to fix it?
Stock reply
IMEI correct
Modem correct
CSC correct ??

Imei: unknown
Imei sv: unknown
Baseband: unknown
Can't find PDA, CSC and modem?
Looking at different posts. Tried Ariza patch didn't work. Am assuming I only need to set the imei to get a network. But what am I to set it to?

You cannot set an IMEI .
You either have a backed up EFS folder you can restore or its a service center repair .
Can't find PDA, CSC and modem? either you are clueless or its more than just IMEI is a problem .
Suggest you flash a stock rom for your area via odin from sammobile.com .
Fails then its a service centre .

I am a bit clueless, nut when I had the S3 before it died and had its motherboard replaced. I would press *#1234# to get the pda and modem and csc or you can get them in the about area. But now with the super nexus rom if i press the code it gives " no mobile network" and it does not show in the about area.
I didn't back up the EFS. This problem was present as I said before when I got it back from the in the service center they had a rooted middle east stock rom and it showed no service, they took it back, I thought the reason was loose wiring. And when I got it back it had a rooted Chinese stock rom which was able to connect to the network. The previous Original motherboard had an unrooted African stock rom, they also cheated me by giving me a 16gb motherboard instead of 32gb.
Tried to flash chinese stock rom via odin and got fail. now it will only go to download mode anything less it gives a yellow triangle.
You need a service centre but you have no warranty .

Got it fixed. :laugh:
First Flashed Samsung i9300 stock rom 4.0.4 from http://samsung-s3.com/restoring-sto...ware-build-xxalf2-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300/ (I had 4.0.4 when I bought the phone.)
root the device via Framaroot 1.4.1. apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276)
Installed busybox via busyboxinstaller.apk in google play and installed busybox
last installed ARIZAPatch.apk can be found in xda developers forum and make sure you are connected to the wifi and press the V[0,5] button. Your device will reboot and there will be light.
