eri version unavailable is normal.
It is not efs issue. or any issue at all.
Try to explain your problem.

Enhanced Roaming Indicator is showed only when your carrier use it. If not, there will be 'not available' information and you shouldn't worry about that.

Nope, not here. No-one wants to give up their own, UNIQUE IMEI number...
This isn't because we are mongrels, just that we aren't stupid....

Agree with you ! No-one will give you their EFS backup (containing the must important information about their galaxy S3).
Foolish guy is foolish....
If you really want someone's IMEI number than you should be permanently banned from this forum. IMEI clonning is illegal and stupid because both phones will be inoperative if thay will have the same identification numbers.
You said your IMEI is ok and you have problems with ERI. We have told you that this isn't an error. Don't push up.

REPEAT it is against the rules of XDA to post such questions .
It is also illegal to clone an IMEI .

omg remove nv_data files from backup to prevent imei clone...read before type
I don't know what the dude who begun this thread is or was up to but I do know that I have lost my EFS backup and as such have a GS3 I9300 which isn't working to fix.
I have searched at length and have come to know the IMEI and serial of the phone can be edited with a HEX Editor out of the nv_data.bin file and this information is on block 0188150 a-f and 0188160 0-4. I have tried it but since my nv_data.bin which I generated was corrupted in the first place, it made little or no difference.
If that truly is possible, why not edit those bits out and then share leaving pointers on how to get it personalized per the benefactor's phone.
Inasmuch as it's "risky" because no one is to be trusted, you should acknowledge the fact that, it is because we're searching for answers and solutions to questions and problems we're having, and discoveries we've made with our handsets, that is why we are here in the first place.
I believe there is ALWAYS a way to go about things differently. Let's help one another!
So who is gonna help poor me? Please ...
Dude, if we give you our efs backup/s, you'd have OUR IMEI numbers, OUR SERIAL numbers.
That's illegal, first thing.
Second of all, that means you have our warranty, so if you send your device in, and you don't have warranty anymore - we don't either..
So, basically: Big T for tuff...
It's your own fault, for not creating a proper backup, live with the consequences..

[Q] S3 "not registered on network"

Hi guys,
i'm an italian boy that has a galaxy s3 with a problem: i can't call or send messages because on the screen there is "not registered on network"
i do nothing, my phone is genuine...i didn't try to change rom or to do something...the problem is appared suddenly.
How can i fix the problem? imei code is intact and my telephone operator didn't block my phone or imei...
i know that in this forum there are some topics about this problem, but it is very difficult for me find them...
help me please...i haven't assistance...
thank you
Look for the serial, if it starts with 00000 or something like that, you nees to use Ariza Patch.

If it helps...
...my wife had this problem last week. Phone was saying that it was not registered on Network. Looked around on the net, checked settings on phone and found that if you turn the phone off for a few minutes and back on, it re-registered to the network. Very basic, don't know why it did it, but it's now OK

This is the problem: imei code is ok but there is "not registered on network"
About the other solution, i'm going to try it but i don't think it will work for me..
Is there a final solution? It is impossible that we can't solve the problem..
Thank you all..

Hey man I read that it could have sumpin 2 do wit type of modem mg2 or mg4 try searching about which versions of firmware have which on mop
solved it
i got it fixed but i will tell u how it happened to me so u can connect the dots with ur problems ,,
i was on omega rom v49 but i wanted to return to stock and un root (4.1.2) to do some things i had a problem while restoring the cable disconnected but i started the process again and everything worked fine except for the network i couldn't call and when someone calls me it gives him that my phone is ringing and i got nothing (be aware u may have got many calls)
i tried some videos from the youtube and tried ariza patch (i dont no if i did it right or not i choose patch 5 and rebooted but nothing worked ) and flashed some modems but nothing
so i flashed back to omega v47 it is MG2 and every thing worked just fine after that so give it a try i hope it helps

anyways here is the theory .. (what if we went way back to the first omega rom n kept upgrading till the latest one ... could it be the solution ... ??? LOOL its goofy but u know when ur desperate u think about some crazy stuff... so thats what i thought about ... coz there r many users who flashed older roms n it worked for them ... im just saying ... lets try to track our histories of our roms n c what happens ... thank u ..

ITS SO MESSED UP..
then i asked my friend to comeover so i can copy his EFS when i did, the pop up goes away and lockscreen works again, but still imei is a PROBLEM.. I ALMOST GIVE UP :crying:

In the last thread, especially this:
Provide details - ALWAYS tell us exactly what happened if you are requesting help. Always describe in detail what is happening.
"Flashed my phone now it doesn't work" is useless information.
"I rooted my phone 3 months ago and flashed a custom ROM. I decided today to flash ROM X from recovery Y. I booted into recovery and flashed from my internal SD card. I rebooted the phone and it is not starting up. It is looping at the boot animation" is GOOD information. We need to know What, when, how. We need to know if you followed a guide and which one (links where possible)

Hi guys i have a similar problem
I just flashed TEMASEK's CM 10.2 v14 now, and lost my network connection.
I still can connect to wifi though.
IMEI number is still there.
Baseband - I9300BUEMD1
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Did you read the above, follow the links or try the solution?
My apologies, I was a little nervous.
From what I now understood, all i have to do is flash the attached modem (modem_RIL_CWM_I9300DDEMG2.zip) , correct ?
Edit:
Weird, suddenly the signal is back. Any possible explanations?
