If it's a i9300, then yes
Any firmware in this forum will work as long as its definitely an i9300. Double check it cause you don't wanna end up with an expensive door stop.

Hello everyone,

As I don't have the budget for a original s4 smartphone a friend of mine brought a s4 clone from Thailand, but guess it must be chinese clone. Pitty enough I don't know the brand, it has samsung *****, samsung battery, etc

I can help, you will need to pull the stock recovery from your device then use some XDA user made tools to port your stock recovery into a custom recovery that will allow you to simply flash a root.zip to gain root access then use SP flash tool to upload it back to device. OR if nothing else try this, it has worked on a bunch of different phones.

A friend of mine did something stupid and tried to install a CWM-recovery for his MT6589 (model: AT-AS50SE) and killed his baseband in the proces. No backups are available and both the Serial Number, baseband and IMEI say unknown. Basicly I think his NVRAM is fried and restoring the correct IMEI information on Android level doesn't work because of the broken baseband.
The device looks like a probable iOcean X7 Elite clone, but I haven't been able to find any roms with this baseband version and the original ROM is not available (the company hasn't responded yet). Also, I'm not able to use any of the tools (SN Write Tool, Maui META 3G, IMEI & SN Writer) because it won't go into META mode (because of the broken recovery mode, I can't go into recovery mode anymore) or because I don't have the correct Modem and AP database.
Can anybody provide me a backup of their AT-AS50SE or a compatible device so I can restore the baseband? Or does anybody have an other idea how to restore the baseband on this MT6589?

I think you might try to flash the baseband from another MT6589 device and then use Mobileuncle MTK Tools to restore the IMEI.
Searching on google for that baseband I found this:
I have also star x920. On MTKDroid tools it shows info ..

I have a ZP980 and I know in some roms the baseband is taken from other mtk phones.
According to my searches, it's not possible to really flash a baseband on an MT6589 beside then replacing the modem.img and/or rewriting the NVRAM through the tools I mentioned earlier. I can't get into META mode and I tried several modem.img files.
Formatting the NVRAM and soft-replacing the IMEI through MobileUncle MTK Tools didn't work as well.
I guess that waiting for the original company to provide the files.
I had the same problem..check this guide..it worked for me.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461059

I check the imei and this is i545.. CLOSED!! and new thread about the trouble..
Not sure what you mean by "identify" your phone, but from what I understand NC5 bootloader means no CM, TWRP, ASOP, etc. You're option other than leave the phone alone is Safestrap and flash TW based ROM's.
