So I bought a new samsung S3 i9305 4G and everything was working as normal. I eventually decided to root my phone as I did with my old android devices. After the root my settings got wierd and was saying that my Basebandversion and my IMEI was "unknown" and I thought that could be fixed by using Triangle away and by installing the Samsung official firmware. I did that and it still says "unknown" at both spots. Also it says:
Device status: Modified.
So I did some research about this problem and found out that the IMEI could be restored by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802024
I followed the instructions til' I got to the instructions from 6 to 8. It says that: "Select RMNET + DM + MODEM and click ok"
But on my phone it says: UART: Modem or PDA USB: Modem or PDA
It seems that I cant use that thread to restore my IMEI as it is now. Is there any other way or should I go to the store and ask for help there?
So I can't use my phone to anything else than surf on my WiFi network right now and I wanted to check with you guys before going back to the store with the phone if there will be any warranty issues or something..

IMEI as per rule one restore your backed up EFS folder .

Your warranty is void .
Rooted and system status run Triangle Away and flash stock rom via Odin then factory reset is the way on a I9300 but you do not have I9300 .

Hello guys, I am kinda experienced with flashing roms and stuff since I owned galaxy s2 for over a year. However I bought a second hand galaxy S3 one month ago and it has a turkish firmware however when I tried and installed a new rom everything seems to work find except the network service all i see is a circle and has no service and i tried many roms even jelly bean rom (which worked fine with my friend's S3) even i installed the same exact firmware that i had when i got the phone with the same kernel but got nothing :/ then i took it to where i bought it and he told me i can not install any rom on it and just the one i had on it then he took it for like an hour and it was working again... but its really bothering me! what's wrong? i want to install jelly bean or cyanogenmod but afraid to lose the service again i read its something related to radio or stuff? so any help please?? and here is a screenshot of my kernel and rom..
I think you might want to flash different modems and see what works best for you

One search before posting and read the faqs and guides before not after flashing .
Two it requires you to restore your backed up EFS as per the faqs and guides .
Not read the faqs and guides and no backed up EFS then you require a service centre .
#But you can try a factory reset and flash stock rom first .

use app from market HC-kTool it will do everything you need. but once is lost you are pretty much ****ed
As you have a habit of breaking stuff and no warranty .
You would be best finding a non samsung phone repair shop .
But first just try a factory reset.

Re
Hey,
I tried everything my EFS was already away before i flashed and rooted.
So i wasnt able to do a backup.
And if i flash JB (Stock,CM everything tried) it stuck on BootLogo Factory reset did already but didnt worked.
Any solution?
Take it to repair shop. No other solution for you m8.

They are not stuck on logo its not a common problem .
By its very nature this forum gets p[osts on such topics from users that have broken phones and that's on all firmware releases not just 4.1 .
Bootloop a common noob user problem from SGS1 onwards .

Problem is as already posted you have no EFS folder and no IMEI .
4.1.1 roms do not stuck on bootlogo unless broken .
You asked why 4.1.1 stick on bootlogo they dont any broken firmware can stick on bootlogo

You cannot use Kies or OTA to update and will have to flash updates via Odin .
You may have no network connection with no IMEI but phone should work as Not A Phone .

send it to samsung and replace the board for $350, or use your s3 as a media player
So I believe I was on the 4.0.4 when I started. I rooted my phone after only having the phome for a week. I wanted to update my phone so I downloaded an app which would allow me to keep my root and update at the same time (blue android figure as the icon of the app) everything seemed to have worked then I noticed it said emergency calls only and my network was gone. Currently I am on 4.1.2 and my serial number and imei are still the same. I have tried everything, including flashing stock rom on to it ... resetting to factory settings.. EVERYTHING. And it is really bugging me because I only got this phone a week ago
It is a samsung galaxy s3... please can some one help me. I heard people in the other forums talking about modem or efs or something along them lines and I am wondering it might be something to do with that?

Ive tried to flash to a stock firmware from sammobile.. I put it back its orignal firmware but still I was faced with the same problem.
Then I tried upgrading it with a stock firmware off sammobile again and still no service and its prompting me that I have no service.
I dont care about any files on my phone. I just want my signal back and I am willing to do anything to have solved.
Should contact Samsung? As I believe I still am under warranty
Many thanks

Help!
I've been scouring the internet and this site for the past two days to resolve this issue. I am a NOOB and have no clue how to do half of the stuff that's requested to change the device status in order to update my phone.
I am on T-Mobile's network. I broke my US Version of the SG3 and had it replaced by Protect Your Bubble with this International Version. I have tried "Triangle Away" and resetting, rebooting, removing SD Card, "flashing" NOTHING is working.

Hi, can you tell me what my PDA is? I'm assuming it's I9300ZSEMC, if so, I can't find any information pertaining to this on SAMMOBILE.

So I recently installed CyanogenMod 10.2 in my I9300 Samsung S3.
However, when I connect my S3 to my laptop using my USB it doesn't show it on the existing drives.
So can someone tell me how to connect my S3 to the laptop?
Furthermore, can someone also advise me how to remove CyanogenMod and return it somehow to the 4.1.2 rooted version I was using earlier.
I'm really freaked out so any help would be deeply appreciated.
