i found solution to my problem. i flashed the latest philz kernel and followed his instruction. this option is under philz settings.
•Backup/Flash Kernel: backup kernel in time stamped boot_$date.img file. To flash kernels, they must be in one of the sdcards under clockworkmod/.kernel_bak folder. If you have zImage files, rename them to *.img file
•Backup/Flash EFS: creates/restores efs.img file under one of the sdcards in clockworkmod/.efsbackup folder
•Flash modem: you can put *.bin modem files under clockworkmod/.modem_bak folder in one of the sdcards. Note, if you recompile my recovery from source, you must verify that recovery.fstab file for your device has the /modem entry or you need to add it manually

You can also flash the modem.bin file via Mobile Odin

I flashed philz way last night with a DVLP3 modem..
Strange that it is loosing it all together... You can try to select different servers in setting to try and kick start it back up? Before re flashing modem again.
Modem works great without it being rill matched and always has... Thought I would have a look at it after reading the rill app post. Matched it using rill application and it is very much the same.

I have a very similar problem j_r17ca except when I reboot I have no baseband IMIE as well as signal edit just found out DON'T USE getril app as ics RILs aren't compatible with the jelly bean leak, just install the modems only

Coming back to this thread... this morning i rebooted the phone and on restart there was no signal and baseband was empty... Re flashed my modem through Philz with success but i did not show up in baseband... Still no signal.
So re flashed LJS rom and Philz kernal and now the XXLS6 Modem is working even better than before... VERY strange !

[Q] Can I flash KH3 modem on ICS 4.0.4?

Pretty simple question here. I searched the forums before starting this thread, but I got contradicting results...
I have Stock Samsung ICS 4.0.4 XWLPW on my GT-I9100. It has the default modem for my country, but I want to flash KH3 modem on it for better reception and battery life. Is it possible? (I didn't wanna try as last time I lost my CSC when I was flashing another modem and then did nandroid restore... )
I hope to get a reply.
Thanks!

u can as long as u get a tar file (or the Modem.bin file of KH3) of the same to flash vide ODIN, if ur Stock 4.0.4 is not rooted.
If rooted with a wrk'ng CWM then u can flash the Zip version which is easily available
Hey,
Just flash trough Odin(If tar) or CWM(if zip) And nothight bad will happen..
Just do NANDRIOD BACKUP
I flashed modem many times and and nothing happened..

What about RIL? Should I use GetRIL? According to certain users, they loose signal if they match baseband and RIL using GetRIL...
I don't know if my getRIL matches but I have good signal So Do if you want.
P.S. I Created my Rom so I edited settings in What I want and my battery life is good

So i went ahead and flashed KH3. Everything is fine but Ril and baseband don't match. As of now I have excellent ovenight battery drain. Lost just 2% over 9hrs that the phone was left sleeping. I just hope that I won't face any problems
due to the mismatch...

i9100p Unable to flash any modem.

Hi all,
A colleague of mine asked me to help him with this phone (i9100p) because suddently he lost his IMEI number and in the phone settings the baseband shows as unknown. I have tried many things to fix it but nothing seems to be working. I cannot even flash any modem in CWM as it gives these error:

Any ideas what could this mean and what to do about it?
I got that same code( I think) when flashing modem ( ihave gt-i9100) and only option was to flash another kernel. I think I used philz but since u have the P version read up first. Good luck

Well, actually I was trying that on Syiah kernel...
Have you tried radio cleaner script? Is a "p" so I can't give a link. Look about for a script for your model and flash that first then modem. Does he have a imei bk up? Prob need that too. If not service center job.

I thought of doing that, but that way I will lose updating my phone over OTA or even kies, because it will be a rom of different country

When MG4 or newer comes out for your country, flash that by Odin too. I don't see you have a lot of choice tbf.

I will wait, though its weird that I cant get the phone to work as it used to and have to download modem and stuff, actually its disappointing, anyway thank you for your help.
Its not weird really. Flashing mg4 rom changes efs so older modems cannot read it. That's why you can't get it to work

No need to wait just root your device and flash some good custom roms, like omega or something. Stock roms are good anyway. You wont regret rooting or flashing if you do it right. Trust me

[Q] Baseband change

I am currently using stock 4.3 rom for s3. But i want the mk6 version. Is it possible to change it without flashing a mk6 rom? i know it may sound funny to others. But i dont really have any knowledge about these modem, baseband thing. Most of the MODs are made available for mk6 version, so was wondering if I could get it without changing the rom.

No more 4.4 roms?

Hi all,
Been facing a weird issue ever since I flashed official 4.3 (NB6 with NA8 baseband) with Odin.
I've been able to flash roms back and forth earlier, but ever since the "official" 4.3, I no longer get network signal in KK roms. IMEI is empty and baseband is unknown. WiFi works fine though.
Tried flashing different modems but nothing works. The closest I got to getting a signal was for 1 second and then dropped (keeps getting and dropping). Searched the forums but it seems to be very rare.
Always have to restore to official 4.3 via Odin to get a working phone
Any ideas on this or maybe Sammy doesn't like me anymore ?

I had seen the thread earlier but it doesn't mention much except cm 10.1 and "some" setting lol.
Firmware is right (UAE) according to sammobile. I will look into CSC though. I used to be able to flash from official 4.1.2 to TW-based and AOKP-based 4.3 and 4.4 as well, but the official 4.3 firmware was bad news (pretty smooth rom though)
I'm guessing that the NB6 fw hampers baseband/radio to prevent KK roms from reaching S3 users. Kind of like a hidden Knox or something.
~ RazorMC
Tried CM 10.1.3 but no signal even with patched modem MG4.
This is really frustrating lol. I got the S3 to play with roms and now it's over?
Any other ideas ppl on what I could do for this?
~ RazorMC
This is rather an EFS problem than CSC.
Read the EFS threads.

One thing I came across was to downgrade efs from v2 to v1 using the rescue firmware. I don't know if that is safe or will it even work.

Install Samsung kies 3 from here
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
Run kies then go to Tool > Firmware Upgrade and Installation
Follow the on screen instructions, this should completely reset the phone to a working condition.
MK6 is stable
Try to use MK6 complete suite, then apply MK6 patched modem and kernel not only patched modem. I don't know why people say flash MG4 modem, it will never work alone. You must need patched kernel to make it work or use ariza patch in older releases.

I prefer Odin over Kies any day. It's better for flashing imo.
Point is, I can use stock 4.3 rom without any problems, but my issue is that I can no longer change to non-TW roms, esp KK.

Gonna try this now. I'm aiming for KK roms, so I guess Ariza won't help me here.
PS: I can get stock 4.3 without any problems. The signal problem occurs in non-TW roms only. I wanted signal on a 4.4-based rom.

can you tell me what error is thrown????
(i) you have CWM r8?
(i) download a cwm flashable MG4 Modem, looks like your phone has an EFS issue (had this issue once).

I don't get any signal on KitKat roms. IMEI is empty and baseband is unknown in "About" section. That is my issue.
Stock 4.3 works fine for me
I've tried MG4 and MK6 modem and restoring efs via Philz Recovery 6.07.9 but no luck. I get a network signal that keeps dropping most of the time. This is strange because I haven't come across this problem before. Everytime I have to flash stock via Odin.
I need to find out why this happens so I can help others if they have the same issue.
EFS is ok and not damaged at all. The problem is that the system can't read the EFS, but I can't figure out what I need to do to get it to work.

are custom 4.3's working fine mate tried any????
[SOLVED]
Problem: Upgraded to official 4.3 and since then I have not been able to get network signals on 4.4-based roms. Stock 4.3 works fine.
Solution: Installed stock 4.1.2 (even though people said it doesn't work). Lost my signal and IMEI became 0049. Then I installed the patched MG4 modem and got imei and signal back. Then upgraded to Resurrection Remix rom (without GApps first) and still had signal.

Hi,
I'm in the exact same situation, stock 4.3 work's fine but every time i flash some 4.4 rom, i lost imei / baseband (generic imei and unknown baseband) and the phone is just useless.
After i flashed a 4.4 rom and lost signal, i tried to flash every modem / patched modem that i could find on xda but no luck.
Any ideas of a method that would allow me to flash any 4.4 or 5.0 rom without losing imei / baseband ??
Thx
As you found this long dead thread why not try the solution they found?

Because I cannot get my imei / baseband back after flashing the modem on top of 4.1.2.
So I was wondering if there's anything else to try in my situation (stock tw 4.3)
Anyway, Thx for your help...
