Well after installing a rom and after i inserted the sim pin it poped up this http://prntscr.com/yl5bv and i thought to insert the pin again and i did that few times also tried to enter 12345 etc... and after that i have no network, i restored the backup but didnt helped ,
itried almost everything i relocked the bootloader-unlocked it again, tried different roms and kernels, flashed with seus and nothing helped, as i said only at that rom(touchwiz rom based on fxp 210) it pops up the window to enter the sim network unlock pin ,
on any other rom doesnt, the signal is full and when i try to call it says no network registered
i tried also other sim cards and they either dont work
So does someone knows what to solve this issue or i must go to service center, and my phone is sony tipo st21is
You will get the best help if you visit your nearest service center. I read your post but cant figure out where the problem lies. Sorry . I hope your problem will be resolved by the experts there. All the best bro..
what the Baseband version in the about phone column . Itz dude to wrong baseband. check
Are you still receiving signal? Other than the comments above, you might also want to check the IMEI. Blocked IMEI could also be the reason.

bro i also have this full signal but no service problem it is due to IMEI no. check your Phone IMEI and match it with your phone IMEI on the back behind the battery (Or go to settings -> system -> Device Information -> Identity and IMEI is listed at the bottom.)

Haven't seen anything like this before...
So a friend bought a s3 from some other country and the phone didn't recognize Greek sim cards... The thing is that he didn't give it to me and he first went to Samsung. They said it can't be done and when he got it back from them it was like on the photos..
I have wiped, rooted, changed stock firmware, flashed cf auto root and siyah kernel but nothing can remove that box with letters from showing all the time except when I launch any app. Even the stock apps. Any ideas how to fix?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Nothing?Noone?At least any suggestion?
Why didn't he take it back a second time before he flashed everything he could find? Maybe they would fix it in seconds? They obviously messed us

It's definitely diagnostic/debug information, but I'm not sure why it's persisting even through factory resets and ROM flashes. Perhaps it can be disabled through one of the hidden diagnostic or service menus (check around on Google for the relevant codes).

Thanks for the suggestion...I found some codes and went to check them all out...One had many sub menus but I still saw them all and tried but nothing worked...
I will tell him to take it back to the Samsung service but cause it's weekend I got it to try my stuff.
And if this helps anyone help me this is what else I did. I moved on to unlock this device with GalaxSimUnlock since when I inserted a sim card the device wouldn't ask for pin or get signal. So I installed this and besides it saying that my phone is unbranded and unlocked it also says top of the list:
Device Model: Not ActiveVD2
So in conclusion, this S3 has:
1) These yellow letters
2) When inserting a sim card it asks for no pin and has no signal
3) Flashing roms stock or not or kernels didn't help with the letters and GalaxsimUnlock didn't either
4) Hidden menu codes didnt help
I'm going to give up if there aren't any other ideas..

Hi ..you need to provide more info dude ...what country did the device come from ?
Check the About Phone info ...everything is OK ? ....that message displays all the time ?
It may be just a display screen of some kind of process that the GS3 has ....look in developer settings ...is there anything checked to run ?
Check EFS folder ...everything is intact ..all files & folders...nv.data.bin ?
Also check APN settings ....I live in Greece also Chania,Crete & I switch sims often ...Vodafone , Cosmote ,Fido "Canada"
Some devices you need to manually enter the proper carrier settings for the first time
What that message may be is ...a process executing ...a function is trying to connect threw the network ....so the S3 ... doesn't seem to be detecting a network at all ...so it displays that screen message ...instead of a sim unlocking screen or something similar
...leave the sim card out ...does it still have that message
If all else fails ...goto TSAR3000 website & get the original factory firmware ....PIT..Radio ..CSC...all data for the GS3
You can maybe even show them your pics ..maybe they know exactly what it the cause of that message
If you flash an other firmware ...first wipe everything in the device ...format sdcard ...fix permissions ..everything !!
I will investigate this also ...very interesting !
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------
Whoops ......if ..when...you reflash all the devices data with Odin ....make sure to check all 3 boxes
It also looks like the Bootloader is corrupted .....that would be my best guess

I have done most things that you said...After more investigation I found out that this yellow letters is called "Factory mode". I read for a solution somewhere and did that and the yellow letters have gone and the phone works great (for solution I went to efs / factoryapp / factorymode and changed the text inside to ON from OFF). BUT after that I still can't get any network although my mobile says that it's unlocked when running GalaxSim free version. So if it says that my phone is unclodked then why don't I have signal with my sim card?
Maybe try a different sim?
sent via xda app from starkissed maguro gnex paranoid beta9
From what I've researched it is either an illegal efs/blocked or carrier locked.
Sent from my Galaxy S3
Factory mode probably isnt it ....my device also says Factory Mode - On
Usually if the issue is just no signal ....its the APN Settings ....goto Mobile Networks / Access Point Names ....& if there are any settings MMS /MCC / MNC ports that have values & they are proper to the carrier ...then it should be good
But yeah after more investigation also ....all day ....it may look like a possible sim brick ......that device may have been reported stolen & the carrier hard locked it.....Or the nv.data.bin is corrupted ....maybe damaged from flashing ...
because all the device info ...that the nv.data.bin stores...it doesn't list those in that yellow message ....& its suppose too !
Like I mentioned earlier goto TSAR3000 & make sure you have all the correct device files & data
In GalaxSim Unlock.. it shows correct device model & carrier id ? .....it says unlocked for all modes & it says ...locking is consistent ?
There are many solutions ...so you need to rule out as many as possible
Something like this happened to an HTC One S... i unlocked for a friend ....unlocking was successful ..but couldn't get a signal ...I just let the device chill out 30 min or so & a signal finally transmitted.....sometimes there are authentication process's going on first time you boot a new carrier ....so you need to wait abit until all process's have completed
2 possible solutions I've found for you via Google
Wipe cache and dalvik
Take battery out for a few hours

APN settings aren't the problem. Actually apn settings are only for internet. I'm sure that the problem must have to do with the efs folder somehow. Probably something is corrupted there... But don't know how or if I can fix it. I didn't download the firmware from TSAR3000 but I downloaded the firmware form sammobile.com which I think neveris wrong... So that is also ok. GalaxSim Unlock says in all rows that it is unlocked. Also read somewhere how I can edit the nv_data.bin file to unlock the phone and also did the manual instructions but still the same.As for letting the sim card in for time, I did. I left it for hours but still it says not registered to network when I dial.
slaphead20 --> I have wiped everything many many times
Read that thread I linked you to
Did that and I did get out of factory mode which I also did when editing myself the file.The problem now is that I can't get any signal although the SiM card is recognised... Probably will have to go to Samsung.
APN settings ..is not only for internet my friend ....there should be 3 protocals
I know I am insisting ..but I know ...i have seen it with my own eyes
The device should have ...carrier APN....internet APN & tethering APN ....make sure that values are correct for carrier APN
carrier apn ...controls the transmision with the network & MMS ....MCC & MCN must have correct open ports or a signal will never transmit
These ports also control remotely locking the device sim
A mobile network code (MNC) is used in combination with a mobile country code (MCC) (also known as a "MCC / MNC tuple") to uniquely identify a mobile phone operator/carrier using the GSM/LTE, CDMA, iDEN, TETRA and UMTS public land mobile networks and some satellite mobile networks.
If this doesn't work ...the device is blacklisted & hardlocked

I dont know the progress you have had ..if any ...& what exactly has been done to the device
but I've searched around quite a lot & 4 things can only be ...why your not getting signal
Wrong APN Settings ...Damaged EFS ...Network Block...Damaged Antenna
There is nothing else inside the device that would cause no signal transmission
Do you have WiFi & Bluetooth ??
Had seen a similar problem with Note 2 and there the imei was currupted dial *#06# and see what u have on screen it could be that the imei will show something like 00460.
@MeMoM&aVirusTI Its a request plz avoid using so many dots in ur post.
same problem.
i had the same problem when i flashed omega rom ( i am from india ), the singal was there at nigt and i slept with that but when i wake up i noticed it showing me emergency calls only. the i tried to search for imei jno. it showed me 0004 something then i realised that imei is erased.
i tried everything to get it back by myself but nothing happen at last i went to local market and repaired the imei no with zig tag tool.
after that it showed the same yellow letter on the screen, so i thought it something wrong in the rom so i flashed official samsunf rom but nothing is happening.
now i am stuck with yellow letter, and no signal bar, nit imei is showing and serial no. is also 000

Firstly, follow the steps in:
General > Sticky Roll-Up Thread > IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff
Which, as you can guess by the thread title, you should know.... There are steps to get out of factory mode and also info about the IMEI number. Serial number may be a different issue. Deal with that later
The same problem that i have now
Hi, did you solve it?
I have the same problem with my S3, Yello letters on screen.
I tried to use the secret codes in order to put off the debug diagnostic menu but without results, maybe I put mistake code in order to get it out.
But of course this is not the only problem I have. If I coud put it off, maybe I can use it as a TOMTOM Device with GPS and sometimes with WifFI Tools or put it
in my bedroom in order to look at my ipcams...
BUT FIRST I HAVE TO GET IT OUT YELLOW LETTERS ON THE BLACK SCREEN.
I discovered that my imei is
0049990164000008
This is a generic Imei, and maybe the phone will works if I SAY IF I could change Imei with my original IMEI Wrote on the package of my phone
I don't want to put a strange or a fake imei that is illegal but just MINE.
I have this that maybe help you:
PDA: I9300XXEMC2
PHONE: I9300BUEMC3
CSC: I9300VFGEMD1
So I tried to use ODIN to do a lot of things but without any results.
I read about ARIZAPatch A TURKISH developer has do this apk but I cannot use it cause I cannot root my S3, I tried to do, ok it sais REMOVED but when I install
BUSYBOX and SUPERSU... and ARIZAPATCH.... IT SAYS NO PERMISSIONS.
CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?

One us a bigger text two read the multiple identical posts for a solution .
The basic answer is to restore your backed up EFS folder as that is the first step .
Second try factory reset or flash stock firmware .
Fails then its a service centre repair .

This thread is outdated and not related to the new problem with EFS coruption. Solutions proposed here wont help you if you lost your network after downgrading a ROM from MF6 to earlier.
Ok it's not the first thread about this but no one seems to have an answer. I'm trying again.
I flashed a custom ROM on a friend's phone i9300. After the flash the phone keep saying "Not registered on network". I tried everything I know.
I changed modem
I changed ROM (3X) (with full wipe)
I returned to stock
I installed GetRil (changed the baseband)
I installed Galaxsim (phone already unlock)
when I try to set the APN I get a message "registered on network" but when I do a phone call I got "Not registered on network"
Is there anyone who knows any way to solve this problem?
New sim? What all works?

Get a new sim from your carrier. Either your sim tray is broken or your sim card is. Sim card is cheap/free to replace so try that first.

sounds like (both of you) your EFS folder is corrupt - the only way i've read of repairing it is to have a back up. service center for repair is the only option AFAIK.
The IMEISV means nothing, don't even worry about it. Know what you're talking about before you blurt out crap.

Usual suspects .
Sim you tried another .
Sim carrier unusual to be damaged .
IMEI wrong .
No phone number details standard with many roms .
Network details not entered or incorrect or wrong CSC .
Wrong modem unlikely .
Best to restore phone to original firmware .

First I restored the phone with the nandroid backup I made just before flashing. (still not register on network)
Then I restored the phone to stock Samsung with Odin (still not register on network)
The IMEI is still there(most thread I read with this problem people lost their IMEI)
The phone can connect to the network because it can retreive the time from the network.
If I make a network operator search it finds China Unicom(This is my sim card) and when I choose it it says "register on the network" but as soon as I try to call, I get the "not register on network" again.
I thought the IMEI might be block as it might be a stolen phone but I made a search on two IMEI database and it says CLEAR.
I flashed 3 Asian modems( I used to have a S3 I know the XXELJ2 was working with my sim card) and same result.
Have you tried flashing a different modem to your device and reporting the problem to your provider.
May sound obvious but the provider's logs may clearly show what is wrong and they can report it back to you.

anyway, tried this metod too now, and still the same ~
Hey guys, had a very similar problem to kremata (everything in EFS folder seemingly ok (IMEI and S/N were fine)), and for me it got fixed by applying Azira's Patch ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601 ).
However this solution only works by rooting and if you try to return it to stock it will reverse to being a 500$ PDA sadly.
In any case, the phone is now fully functional (calling/SMS/mobile data).
hey
i can fix ur problem

ok
This is the story. S3 bought in europe. stopped working immediatelly(i think. or maybe after some weeks) after. didnt get fixed service had some warranty issue.
When i say didnt work, i meant the telephone-side of the device it didnt recognise the sim. everything else works fine(even wifi)
I live in greece so i had the phone sent to me here in hopes to get it fixed. but before that i asked for it to be unlocked and my cousin supposedly(he s not really that tech savvy) unlocked it by the carrier.(even gave me the number to be sure everything's ok)
I originaly thought it might be a hardware issue cause the sim wasnt recognized(remember that problem happened on the original carrier its not a matter of lock) but the guy i had went to to fix it said the entire gsm part isnt working so its either a SOFTWARE (thats why i m asking help here) problem or the main board should be replaced.(think he tried to restore it even to original firmware)
After a lot of research here and on google i m kinda lost because so many things seem wrong at the same time.
1.when i type *#7465625# it goes to personalization but below that is blank. then after 2 seconds i get " Unfortunately. the processcom.android.phone has stopped." so i cant get info on whether its locked or not
2.when i type *#06# i get IMEI null / null "ok" ... so i cant see if it has the same as its written under the battery..
3.when i try to press the notification "software update" i get registering device... " attention! Processing failed "ok" "... so i cant even update to a (maybe) working patch
4. The sim it uses is micro sim and i dont have one available at the moment. so i only check the progress by dialling 911.(isnt it valid to assume even without a sim it would still dial?"out of service area")

IF this is a software problem i need your help to know where to get started... you have great guides like for the IMEI or the Baseband unknown message but i dont know where to start cause all these happen at the same time and i dont know which are related to the sim not recognised problem or something someone before me did..(forgot to mention the phone is NOT rooted or flashed to whatever. But i m going to do that when i know more about what i need)
ANY help or information on what is it that i m dealing with would be GREATLY appreciated.

But i have the Imei under the battery and i also have the unlock codes from the original carrier.. is there nothing to be done?
Get a microsim and test.
If fails, you can root and flash Samsung firmware again.
Can use s3 toolkit for above.
Come back after these.
Good luck

No. the IMEI is contained within the EFS Folder which is either missing or corrupt. Only a service centre can repair this. The IMEI number must be programmed into the device in order to connect to the network. This is why you cannot.

None of this will help.
I have galaxy s3 i9300 and my problem is no mobile network on my phone so i can't make calls or even open mobile data.
What i did:
I was using CM12.1 android 5.1.1 everything was ok for months but i faced a problem after that time which is "can't open mobile data" i thought that the problem is from the Custom ROM which is not stable, so i decided to downgrade to the official/original stock ROM android 4.3 Smamsung Career, but the issue still existes or it became more deep i don't know what's wrong with it. there's a signal of network connection but when i call it says "Not registered on network". I did the network settings and search for operators automatically but it didn't work also. at the end (currently now) i decided to back to the custom ROM but the problem still there so i don't have no cellular network or data mobile plan.
What i think:
I think that the EFS partition touched Note: i still have the IMEI
So please can anybody help me?? i'm reallyyyy neeed heeeelp

I was wrong my s3 was bricked and it is not the EFS partition that has been touched "beacause the IMEI still there" but the problem is that the Serial Number i have it BUT when i updated to cyanogenmod the OS gives me a wrong serial number so that's why it told me "Not registered..." so i'm needing to inject the true SN in my device. So how can i do that with Z3x Box? thanks
