Hi, I've got an i9300 like 8 months ago, it was from a carrier "Claro", from Costa Rica (but not locked), I flashed a Poland 4.1.1 I think it was XXLIB, then I upgraded to 4.1.2, and then I had to flash again to 4.1.2 but with a different rom XXEKC, everything was fine
Two days ago my internet icon was gone, I didn't change anything, today I called my op to check the problem, they sent me an apn config, which I accepted, nothing solved, so I tried to switch to GSM only, and my phone stopped working I can make emergency calls only, my sim works fine on other phones, It's not connecting to 3G neighter. My imei is the same to the one in the sticker, and my SN is not 000000.
Every thread I read was about wrong imei or empty SN, and after a flashing, in my case it stopped working sudenly, I already tried to hard reset and flash another stock rom.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance

It's not available in any place, but I am downloading a rom for another operator in my country, actually the operator I am using right now, not the one who sold the phone, could it be an imei block? it's second hand but I've used it for 6 months and the problem started yesterday as I received the apn config after calling my operator
if the imei is blocked then your carrier should know so contact them
U can download the the official stock rom from sammobile. com . And flash it on your phone. Please make sure u select the correct country . This might help u.

Sorry may be I'm wrong but sounds to me like a network lock. Does it ask for network pin after restarting the device?

No, it just says emergency only in the status bar, and says "not registered on network" when trying to make a call
ADDED: I just called the original operator, they say the first owner of the phone doesn't have any pending payments, so it's there is no imei lock due to non-payment, however I have a chinese phone, and I would not explain due to xda rules but the chinese phone would not connect when I make it "look similar" to my s3. It's not reported as stolen nieghter, it just happened as I asked my operator for help with the internet access and received and apn config.
Did you try to remove your sim card and clean it up?

EFS folder is unique for each phone. It stores IMEI number and other relevant information about it.
There is no way to duplicate it from another unit, logically i mean, because it will be right it. A duplicate from other phone. And the operator can ban your's from registering in their network anytime.

My idea was to buy a motherboard and transfer the folder and discard the mobo instead of exchanging the entire mobo as I don't want to harm anythinng inside, but it sounds that exchanging the mobo is the only way right? BTW Im not totally sure if this is an efs/imei problem, I am the third owner of this phone and internet stopped working for 2 days and when I changed from "3G only" to "3G/GSM", it stopped working at all

I flashed WanamLite v6.8. After flashing I lost calling facility.
later I realized my IMEI was changed. I was kinda of hopeless. Tried whatever I could have tried for. At last I gave up. I unrooted and made binary number back to 0 and flashed stock firmware. Still I didn't find anything working. I gave my i9300 at service centre. Got it repaired. Thanks for asking.
Hello,
I have updated my S3 with the 4.1.1 jelly bean version. After that the baseband stopped working, i am able to call emergency calls only. Unfortunately i don't know the region and the CSC number of the phone.
How can i fix the problem? Is it possible to find the original region / CSC number from the imei and the serial number? Or my phone is bricked?
All info i have: 4.0.4 version and I9300XXLF5
Thank You,

Where do you live? Google your country CSC code, use link from earlier post and flash it. Get matching modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28033515 and install it.
I have succesfully downgraded to 4.0.4, IMEI, baseband, csc is ok. But the phone is rejected from the network after a few seconds. What is the problem?

Hello,
I think the APN isn't tuched yet. The correct APN settign is needed for the correct working? Is the phone registered through data channel EDGE/HSDPA? Should i config the APN settigs related to the actual network provider?
Thanks,
So first and foremost 'I am a noob' and not sure if this is the right place but I consider this a question, with that said I shall explain my issue.
I have changed the firmware on my S3 to 4.2.2 and it was almost successful minus the lack of being able to connect to a carrier.
I have reverted back to 4.0.x and 4.1.x and i still have no service. I am with T-mobile UK and have seen on a nexus 4 based thread that an issue was that t-mobile doesn't work properly on the latest radio version so i flashed that to .27 (the recommended version on said thread) to no avail (I'm thinking maybe this only works for the Nexus 4?).
When i check available networks i get EE, 3 UK, O2 - UK, Vodafone UK, EE. Knowing that t-mobile and orange are now EE i assume the 2 EE options are just renamed from those, however when i select either option I get 'No service, selected network (EE) unavailable'.
I've also spoken to T-Mobile who essentially told me to go *profanity* myself and talk to Samsung... haven't spoken to Samsung yet.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

1st 7 are 0049990. How can I tell if it is intact?
Also Mobile data and roaming ARE turned on

Not good I'm afraid...your IMEI has become corrupted/deleted, 0049990 is a default one and that won't register on the network.
Did you back up your efs folder before you installed 4.2.2?

That's a different variant of the S3 so I personally wouldn't recommend using that approach.
Get in touch as I suggested in the PM and I'll see if I can help.
Sorry for dropping out of contact, my dad took the phone and insisted he would solve the issue (which he didn't) so when I get home from work today i can start trying to fix it again. Obviously my warranty is voided so T-Mobile telling me to go to Samsung was stupid but i found out I got my contract from carphone warehouse which I forgot (thought i went direct to T-Mobile) and apparently they'll fix it for me... i doubt that very much.
Also I have an S4 now but still want to fix the S3 as i planned for it to be an upgrade for my mum (she needs an upgrade badly)
I updated my S3 to I9300UBEMH2 which is the official rom for my country. I came from XXEMG4 (I didn't have signal with this firmware). I thought upgrading would fix the Cannot register to Network problem but it didn't. It's strange as this firmware is the stock for my country. My IMEI and SN are OK. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Usual is
Wrong APN settings .
or
Wrong Modem Wrong CSC.

APN and Modem are correct. I really don't understand what is the problem damn phone.
Sometime your device will give a generic IMEI, it can't be used
Compare the IMEI in the status and IMEI in the back of your phone after removing the battery.
You can try Archie's emergency zip. It will change your modem to MG4 without changing the RIL, remember to backup first

My IMEI is correct. That's why I don't understand whats the problem. Thanks
as you can see MG4 and MH2 have different modems, so when you pass from MG4 to MH2 the modem was changed and something went wrong.
Have you checked the SIM card in another phone?
Maybe there is something wrong with it.
And BTW, do you have an EFS backup?

Via OTA, MH2 via odin
regardless if the firmware came ota or he flashed it himself with odin. op states imei is correct and apn is also correct. that probably means the serial number is wrong. marracing, have a look under the battery and see if serial number matches the one in your phone settings. if not than that is why you cant connect to network.

The serial number matches with the one under the battery. This is very strange. I don't know what else to do.
have you tried to reset the apn to default? if you did that already than you need to speak with your carrier, maybe you are not registered on their network because of an issue on their end. if still cannot resolve than take the phone to a service center. good luck
When I first bought the phone (bought it in the US) it came with some German apps (one called Bild is the only one I remember). It has something to do with this issue?
Thanks!
Still can't register to network. Maybe it's blacklisted?
Hi,
I bought a used S3, with a small crack in the screen. Otherwise the phone should work.
When I got it, i reset it to factory settings, because it wasn't.
After reboot, the phone worked, but I can't go online with WIFI or Mobile Network. I also can't phone with it, it found no Carrier!
I flashed some other original Samsung ROMS with odin, but it doesn't help.
If I activate Wifi Tethering, I can see the S3 in my WIFI Network.
I can see the IMEI in the settings. It is the correct IMEI, I compared it with the IMEI on the cover and on the bill.
Can anybody help me?
thanks in advance

In every Image I tried, there was a modem.bin The IMEI is ok, so I hope the /efs is not corrupt.
