I did a factory reset on friends i9300 and now bseband and Imei foregone and will not read sim as if not even inserted
I have tried all ways I could find to restore but *#22754927 code doesn't bring up hidden menu as it should
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Have you flashed a wrong firmware or root package?
Sounds a bit odd that the IMEI would get wiped with just a factory reset.
Her kid had the phone when she got it back it was acting funny (her words not mine) so she brought it to me and I did a factory reset and sent her on her way to have her return with it not working it wasn't until later after I tried some hard parts that I noticed the Imei and bseband was changed to unknown
I did however.notice the build number was wrong it was jz054k.i9300xxema and should be is now jz054k.i9300xxella

Well that all depends on the region of origin of the phone. Whether it was bought locally, or bought online from a reseller.
Can you post the details displayed when you type *#1234# into the dialler?
Sometimes the IMEI can be recovered by flashing a stock firmware, sometimes it can't.
Is it stock firmware or custom?

i bricked the phone with official CM11 OTA update. i did not notice that the update was CM13. all the gapps were 11 compatible, soooo, nothing worked on the phone. after a lot of trouble (twrp boot loop included, thank you very much...), i put again CM11. to my horror, no IMEI...
tried a lot and ... even though i never thought it would work... i connected the phone via kies 3 and clicked update and now the IMEI is back.
on the down side, i am now on stock, but there was too much excitement for me with customs...

I have the polish unbrended I9100 with the official LPS update, but I am loosing network all the time and lots of calls go straight to my voice mail. I did try to go back to LPQ, but could not find an officiel one. When I loaded one with the LPR modem I had CSC unknowen and again loosing network all the time. I try to change with the band selection but no luck. I am on Rogers in Canada. Any help will be appreciated.

I've got a similar problem with LPS and LP4. The funny thing is that antenna idicator shows full signal strenght.
Full wipe did not helped.
So you know where I can get an official LPQ? It was OK with it.

Same problem here, and I have flash back to LP3 modem. Just extract the modem.bin from LP3 and flash via Odin to phone
Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you do the extraction! Thanks a lot!

I loaded this modem wiht Odin, but in Kies I get: Curent Firmware version: I9100XXLPS/I9100XALPS/I91XXLPQ/I9100XXLPS (XEO)
It looks like I have two modems now. Is this the case? I will see tomorrow if the receptions is OK and if I will be loosing the network.

if you have the .tar.md5 file, just open it with any zip program like winzip/7zip, then extract the modem.bin.
Sill the sema problem. Now I will try to change the whole rom to LPQ. I really hope it will help.
Now I am on a full LPQ and I still have the network problem. I lose conection to the network and in 10-15 secpnda I get all bars. The problem started when I got the official LPS from the forum. Is it possible the Odin flash to have done fisical domage to the phone? I got it from Expansys USA, but I doubt it they will do something. Any help will be appreciated

I tried only GSM bands and there is no problem, but the moment I add any of the WCDMA bands I start losing the network.
Maybe try full wipe before and after update (usb masstorage, dalvik cache and system) and flash LPQ again.
Or go back to 2.3.x

I did a full wipe, but now I do not have CMW, because I thought it had to do something with the rooting. Is there a way to test if the radio is fiscally damaged? thank you very much for the respnse!!!

I don't know if its possible to check it.
But can't you just flash some GB ROM using Odin? If its still doesn't work correctly with GB ROM than it must be something wrong with the phone.

I rooted the phone, did a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, after install a new rom wiht Odin, factory reset and still the same. I bought it with Expansys USA, and they told me it will take 6-8 weeks to have it sent for warranty repair. I guess I will try with a GB rom and see. Thank you.

So far no luck. The last thing I put was the Luxembourg file, but it has the same modem LPS. I was trying to have a different CSC and see if this will help, but it did not.
Now I am giving a last try with UK O2 file, and if no difference I am sending it back to Expansys US for repair. I hope they do not come back and tell me that there is no problem with the phone.
dont want tobe rude but it seems you are not listening to what ppl saying......
before you snd your phone atleast check with Gb ROM.
if i were you i would full wipe the phone including system partition and flashed stock GB ROM using odin. and tested it without doing any thing more.
you want to fix your phone you better start forgeting your stuff and try what has been said here.
I have an unbranded S3,that I bought from Amazon and when I put in *#1234# it shows the CSC as unknown. Is this normal?
If not what can I do?

The easiest solution for a new device is a factory reset. It should resolve itself when it reboots and flashes the stock CSC it shipped with. If that does not resolve it, then reflashing the ROM (or any appropriate stock ROM) should do so. You can find info on it by searching. I've even discussed this recently in the Q&A section myself, as I encountered a similar problem recently by using Mobile Odin and not allowing the CSC to flash due to a custom recovery being installed.
It's not a brand new device, have had it around 2 months. I installed jb 4.1.1 that I got from Sammobile using odin.
I've never noticed any problems, will the phone be ok or is it something I need to sort?
Am planning on wiping all data and installing 4.1.2 btu from Sammobile tomorrow.

Hi,
After using Android Revolution HD, I flashed back my original ROM. Now the phone doesn't register to the network and my IMEI number is 004999010640000. How can I get my old IMEI back so I can use my phone correctly?
I have to mention that I have no EFS backup.
Thanks in advance...
Did you read the stickies in general? I only ask because there is a whole thread about this.

One thing you can do to possibly recover your imei and network settings is to flash a stock rom that uses mg4 or mg2 baseband. use a rom from sammobile and flash with odin make sure you use a rom with an mg2 or mg4 baseband. good luck
make sure to read the stickies
Flash stock ROM, stock recovery, don't forget triangle away and give it back to warranty, I did this 2 weeks ago, and now my phone's fine (Don't forget and EFS Backup now)

I'm in JB 4.1.2 stock ROM rooted and everything is fine but when i update i lose imei.

Your efs folder is corrupt, pay for a repair or use a patched modem and kernel in 4.3

its not corrupted because everything is fine in JB 4.1.2 And I tried to use another modem and kernel in 4.3 but it didn't work
I get that update but when i update something happens if i backup my efs then if i restore would it work.
If you don't like the answer then fix it yourself, best of luck.
Dude your answer is not good, its not my fault

Do you know if your s3 ever had imei issues, got unlocked through means other than imei code, or did you ever used patched modem (or ariza)?
If yes, stay on 4.1.2, or do as adviced and get a patched modem and kernel for 4.3.
Your efs might be damaged, to stay on the safe side, backup everything before attempting to upgrade or patch stuff.
Ok thanks so do you mean by downloading another modem for my 4.3

Totally stock 4.3 need for GT-i9300 iv searched sammobile but there are so many I'm unsure, I'm in the UK and my device is unlocked, my problem no matter what I flash I'm getting no signal, imei and serial number intact and so is baseband thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
Try the patched kernel and modem thread, if signal is restored with both flashed then you have issues in your efs folder.
Hey just looked but its pretty confusing to me, I have efs backup but no access to computer, was planning on flashing stock through mobile Odin
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
In that case just flash the latest firmware, best do a full wipe including internal storage and preload first. Use Odin on a pc, mobile Odin won't flash all the partitions so you'll end up with some leftovers which might be the source of your problem.
Firmware
