so for example csf auto root for I9300XXEMD3 will work for my I9300XXEMA5??!! thank you
Yes
base band is the modem not the firmware.

Hi, I updated my UK unbranded s3 to 4.1.2 XXEMB1 and can't find this option in the toolkit.
I was previously on 4.1.2 JZO54K XXELLA. Can I just use that option or will the toolkit be updated to include the new firmware?
Thanks..

Please take the time and trouble to read the FAQS regarding that application . Or use another method to root .

If I remember correctly it says it doesn't have to be identical firmware. Example if you are on 4.1.2. Just make sure the numbers match up. It actually says it on the toolkit what to do. If you read the instructions on the toolkit you'll get all the info you need.

I have the answer isn't there, but i will look into another method. I downloaded the toolkit as it was an all in one option.

It says to use a later build. There is no later build than XXEMB1 on the toolkit

Multiple China phone posts on here .
Its either a fake or if real you need to change the firmware .
Note changing the firmware for China models is as i understand it not the same as flashing a stock rom .

The IMEI maybe original. That does not mean the phone is an S3.

yes you can. but sometimes you may face modem problems like "you can't call or text people!" like in XXEMG4. i suggest you to backup efs and then flash any f/w you'd like to.
:good:
Just make sure that the firmware you are flashing is for the I9300 branch. Flashing other firmwares not suitable for the I9300 will well... brick the device.

please helpppp:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Well you've done more than just change the csc code then. Changed modem or rom lately?
Go read efs 'know this stuff' in general stickies.
If flashing a v2 modem doesn't restore your efs then you'll need the efs backup you made before you started flashing things to you phone.

brother thanks for replying i am totally screwed ..
how can i install this modem in my mobile through odin or how....??????
and by the way my country is ksa and before this my imie number is also changed..
You need a custom recovery ( eg. Philz´ Touch Recovery ). Otherwise you can simply extract "modem.bin" out of this ZIP file and flash it through Odin ( insert it as "Phone" ). Be careful not to enable repart I suppose you know how to handle Odin ?
