You found the original ROM here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
EFS/ IMEI is backed up on its own not with a rom .
See the basics in the sticky s for EFS backup .
Codec is Audio / Video .

The IMEI ok. i flashed BTU rom, indian. the emergency zip and its not work!!
i have a signal but can't can't dial out and receive call!
i don'r have EFS backup.
please help!!
rrrr why samsung changed the efs format why?!!?!?
Flash the latest rom for your country, BTU is not for India. You are going to have problems if you flashed the EMG4 version and don't have an efs backup.
Go to the general forum and read the thread on EMG4 rom changes efs folder.

If not restore your backed up EFS folder .
IMEI ok restore your backed up EFS folder anyway ..
Failed to backup EFS then its a paid for service centre repair .

First backup your efs and yes you can flash stock 4.1.2... but after flashing you won't have any network, then you should restore your efs.. And everything would be good to go.. Backup and Restoring can be done by Phils recovery or ktool from play store...

If you got the I9300 model with no sim lock- no problem.
Ps- notice that if your current build is below EMG4, than your file partition will be changed to EFSv2,
needs to be noticed if you'll try to go back to 4.1.2 afterwards

I think he can go back after flashing 4.3 ROM. I have done that.
Aashish, you can install any ROM as per your requirement if SIM is not locked with any SP.
But there is a chances of loosing IMEI. So please take backup. Search and download MG4 modem handy.

Yeah what you propose seems very straightforward BUT it would be advisable to do a full backup INCLUDING EFS, just check the EFS box in TWRP for instance, as it's not usually included in a backup by default.

Ah I get it now, in which case I would be tempted to go to an Indian 4.1.2 firmware through ODIN and the update through OTA if that's possible. That would reduce the chase of stuffing up your EFS by using an official Samsung update procedure.
Hi everyone my problem is related to the imei i think :3 . One day i flashed sensation v8 and couldnt make calls so i decided to flash stock rom UGMK6 , i saw that my imei was 0049*** i couldnt make or recive calls , a message like : you arent registred on network. I send it to the place i bought it , and he fixed it . I rooted it again installed twrp ,and fllashed latests qs rom , i got null imei . Flashed again stock rom from odin and got 0049 , i send it again for repair and got it fixed , he gave me a wired explanation your phone is tired don't flash more roms , is it even possible ? Atm i am rooted but i dont have any costum recovery i have stock one . Now how can i flash other roms without loosing my imei ?
A step by step toturial would be much appreciated .
PS : I know there are a lot of threads regarding imei problems , and believe me i have read a lot of them but i lost it at the point where efs were v1 and v2.....

here are the options for backing up / restoring efs (this list is not exhaustive)
EFS Pro - App needs root
SGSIII EFS backup / Restore - app runs from Windows / Linux and needs root
kTool - app needs root.
Philz advanced CWM rewcovery - custom recovery can take efs backups using the "Custom Backup" feature.

I would recommend PhilZ recovery......
