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

No Service after root

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.

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.

Bumping is against the rules ..
You may have wrong modem or wrong CSC check your APN settings are correct .
Factory reset may help .

I have flashed with international version, full factory reset, wipe cash, but the problem is still here, the phone need to restart every hour or twoo hours.
Return it to Vodafone or Service Centre .

I have flashed my phone, but not root, is my phone in warranty or not any more?
And is that hardware of software problem?

Alright, so I had efs problem two days back. No imei and network. So I restored to stock and problem was sorted. But now if I try to install and i9100 based stock jb port, I end up with a black screen. Even other roms ported from i9100 cause the same problem. Any kind of help would be great.

i am using the latest Slim bean , and the unlock.. there is no problem . use the simlock for JB roms.

Looking to root my SGS3 again

I would use CF-Auto-Root or CF-Root 6.4 but I can't find any working link anywhere and it seems this site has some issues http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
I once used Framaroot, worked like a charm. Went to use it again... It doesn't want to know
I'd greatly appreciate it if a suitable link was provided.
Thanks in advance. :good:
Framaroot works. There should be links in "understanding the basics" in general > sticky roll-up thread

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately all the links say "Database error". And attempt after attempt on all 3 options, Framaroot is still being stubborn.
if you are using a stock rom you can re flash it by using Mobile Odin Pro. it is in the play store for about $6 . make sure to tick the option for Everoot. this will install the rom pre-rooted. you may want to back up efs folder before flashing anything . Best of luck.
nevermind I forgot you need root to use it. sorry
Framaroot should work if you flash an older unpatched build but that could be risky.

Do you really need root? Can't you just flash a rom as suggested in my thread you just read?

I think I read somewhere that flashing a custom kernel such as siyah can get you rooted. may want to try that?
IMHO and as per my thread > flash recovery via odin.
Then you can flash a rooted rom and its all done

Thanks. Now, I guess I'll flash CWM again tomorrow, but I am unsure of where to find rooted roms as I have never used this method of rooting before, I'm lost.

They're all in android development. Hundreds of them. IMHO, stay away from mg4 unless you've had it before...the whole imei thing

I learned staying away from mg4 the hard way. I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly to a stock rom only to find that I dug my own grave as I previously had an mg4, so I had to flash back to it. And I'm not sure what I've flashed via recovery, I may have but I just don't remember.
Edit: and on a side note, a rom is different from firmware right? Since I got into the whole imei problem I forgot what goes where and what flashes what, it shook me up.

You would have flashed cm via recovery. Do the same but with something like wanam lite or omega...
Or wait for chainfires website to be fixed. Doubt it will be down long

I think I'll wait for chainfire's website to be fixed as even though it may or may not be the easiest, it made the most sense to me when I done my phone the other day, I knew that method with my eyes closed.
Thanks for all of your help. Although I may not use your methods now, they will certainly come in handy in the future.
As for cm... although it was one of the best things that happened to my phone... I will not touch it again or anything like until 10.1 is stable because it gave me hell xD I'll be running with my rooted phone and root apps until that time comes.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
if you are on MG4 firmware or rom. you will most likely lose imei if you flash any previous modem. I would back up efs folder going forward. probably best to stick to MG4 based builds for now .there are some custom roms with the MG4 base in the android development threads .since that is a newer build than most. that explains why it has been patched. why framaroot and cf root are not working. There is a prerooted stock firmware for MG4 if I find it p will share the link
