Might not be a bad idea to hide parts of the IMEI and phone number next time.
Flash a full stock rom and see.

Im trying to odin to xxle8 which is what i had originally. but odin is saying the parameter is invalid. which firmware should i flash

Managed to flash by removing the .md5 of I9300XXALE8_I9300XSAALE6_XSA. Went into a bootloop so I did a factory reset and cache wipe, booted into the OS, still no service.

Then its not a software issue..
Maybe hardware

I know, didn't notice that the IMEI number and SN had been changed tho that's why I was running around in circles trying everything, next time I'll look at that first. I heard it was a common problem for the S3 so I made sure to do weekly FULL backups including an EFS backup (Thanks TWRP). Bit ****ty that I spent 3 days trying to fix something that ended up being fixed with a 4kb file and 5 seconds of work in recovery, eh, hope this thread may help someone one day, BACK UP YOUR FREAKING EFS RIGHT NOW. Everything is resolved and fixed, back to running Slim Bean like nothing ever happened, phew, thanks everyone for your help and I apologize for spamming the thread.

Black screen after boot! HELP (URGENT

Hi, I'm new here so bare with me.
I just rooted my Samsung S3-I9300 hours ago. And I was pumped up, what I did later on is I installed bootanimation and I didn't quite understand how to use it and I still don't, but in the end I got it to work but the logo was too small but this isn't the problem. I entered recovery mode and I don't know what I extracted or installed and I rebooted my device and all I hear is the Samsung booting music and that's all. My screen is black.
Your help is appreciated.
Is your phone actually booting?

Yes, it is booting. I can see the back button and the options button lit. It's just black.
BUMP.
I would probably wipe data in recovery mode, and last case scenario flash official firmware from sammobile.com.
This will make you lose all your saves and stuff though.
Wipe cache and/or full wipe. If still nothing, reflash ROM. It happened to me long time ago, nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about..
Just restore a backup or reflash your ROM and reroot

And how do I do that? I'm a major noob with these things currently. Do I have to use my PC and ODIN?
do you really think you're the first person to ask that and the info is not available? use search
read the basics before asking questions.

If you didnt make a backup, yes, use ODIN to flash a stock ROM.
You can find out which rom you currently have in settings/about phone.
Download the rom from sammobile.com and flash with ODIN.

did your problem is solved?

[Q] Baseband / IMEI / ICCID = UNKNOWN

I updated to stock 5.0.1 thinking that would fix it and I did several Odin stock flashes too and factory resets.
Only thing that works is just WiFi and Bluetooth.
I hate to mail my phone to some stranger to fix it when I can do it myself. This has been on going for over a week now.
