Hey people i need help from you and i am really sorry about my english but im portuguese
I bought a SIII three weeks ago and yesterday i flashed with the HD revolution version 4.1.2 and after complete boot i installed yank555 kernel. Suddently the phone its only in emergency calls only and the ime has been changed to 004999.... After that i try by odin like 10 original roms and nothing happen. I heard that a member called spocky12 solve another member problem and i have already sent him a message but anyway i ask from you guys if i can do something. I have warranty for 2 years, it was a girlfriend gift, i love the phone and now im completely stuck. If you guys can do something please tell me. Thank you
If you backed up EFS, restore it. If you did not backup EFS, send for repair. No other fix.
Did you use search as per forum rules? Millions of topics on this.

Also I tried this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
Everything else is Ок with the phone but after being flashed with а wrong firmware, now can not be used for its main purpose.
Any ideas?
Choices .
Send for a paid for repair if it is repairable .
Use phone as not a phone .
Sell it as not a phone .

I sent it in service, but they said that could not fix it!
I do not want to sell it.
I think Hellcatdroid is the only user in here that can fix your phone.
Find him and ask for his help. Make sure you give any information available from what you did in case he accepts to help you. Good luck buddy.

use app from market HC-kTool it will do everything you need. but once is lost you are pretty much ****ed
As you have a habit of breaking stuff and no warranty .
You would be best finding a non samsung phone repair shop .
But first just try a factory reset.

Re
Hey,
I tried everything my EFS was already away before i flashed and rooted.
So i wasnt able to do a backup.
And if i flash JB (Stock,CM everything tried) it stuck on BootLogo Factory reset did already but didnt worked.
Any solution?
Take it to repair shop. No other solution for you m8.

They are not stuck on logo its not a common problem .
By its very nature this forum gets p[osts on such topics from users that have broken phones and that's on all firmware releases not just 4.1 .
Bootloop a common noob user problem from SGS1 onwards .

all 4.0 firmware are working perfect.
Problem is as already posted you have no EFS folder and no IMEI .
4.1.1 roms do not stuck on bootlogo unless broken .
You asked why 4.1.1 stick on bootlogo they dont any broken firmware can stick on bootlogo

Your phone needs motherboard replacement and rebuilded EFS folder, leave it in for warranty.

You cannot use Kies or OTA to update and will have to flash updates via Odin .
You may have no network connection with no IMEI but phone should work as Not A Phone .

send it to samsung and replace the board for $350, or use your s3 as a media player
So I believe I was on the 4.0.4 when I started. I rooted my phone after only having the phome for a week. I wanted to update my phone so I downloaded an app which would allow me to keep my root and update at the same time (blue android figure as the icon of the app) everything seemed to have worked then I noticed it said emergency calls only and my network was gone. Currently I am on 4.1.2 and my serial number and imei are still the same. I have tried everything, including flashing stock rom on to it ... resetting to factory settings.. EVERYTHING. And it is really bugging me because I only got this phone a week ago
It is a samsung galaxy s3... please can some one help me. I heard people in the other forums talking about modem or efs or something along them lines and I am wondering it might be something to do with that?
Restore your original firmware you saved including original modem and CSC .
Check your phone model is I9300 .

Just find your original firmware details or ask a user with the same phone as you or just restore via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978840
or just guess at sammobile firmware based upon your location and network ..

Ive tried to flash to a stock firmware from sammobile.. I put it back its orignal firmware but still I was faced with the same problem.
Then I tried upgrading it with a stock firmware off sammobile again and still no service and its prompting me that I have no service.
I dont care about any files on my phone. I just want my signal back and I am willing to do anything to have solved.
Should contact Samsung? As I believe I still am under warranty
Many thanks
Should contact Samsung? As I believe I still am under warranty

Get somebody at the phone vendors to accept that if you can .
Samsung's separate 24 month limited warranty is as i understand it an extra above sale of the product .
It is not covered by EU law .
Some get non warranty phones repaired free others get rejected the majority where root or custom rom is visible get rejected .
Not only have you rooted the phone but also installed a non Samsung kernel .
Suck it and see they either repair free or reject and send you a quote .

My IMEI was 353************** and changed to 0499901********. So I am not able to make any phone calls right now.
I have no idea how it happened. I am flashing ROMS for 8 months. I have no EFS backup because i didn't know how much important it was [I AM REALLY STUPID ]
I know 049999**** is a test imei. In every forum there is a solution for SGS / SGSII. There are things for SGS3 but threads are very old like 5-6 months ago and they don't work...
I've tried installing softwares called NsPro or Samsung Tools. But I know they need some special stuffs and they are not free..
I've tried stock roms, modified Roms,kernels,modems after this happened.(Yesterday i was on 4.2.2 now 4.0.4)
So i gave up
Is there any suggestions? Any help way ? Because if I can't find any solution until tomorrow, I'll give the phone to technical service and i don't like it.
Last time I gave my phone to the service it took 25 days and they changed the motherboard with new IMEI (Nokia C7)
And the most important question : Can I update my phone if technical service fixes it? Android 4.2.2 original firmware or 4.3 , 5.0 in the future?
Sorry for bad English.I live in Turkey,Istanbul if there is anyone who can contact me.
Thanks!

If you have no backup there is nothing you can do. Return to stock. If still an issue, needs sending for repair.

Good your issue was resolved. It is always bettwe to keep a back up of efs folder. nv_data_bin would have corrupted which restored on another flash of ROM and you are lucky. Most of the time flashing an unsuitable kernel would lead to this problem.
