what do you mean? simple steps...please..I'm noob..

same here after flashed 4.2.2 rom... now my s3 is an expensive PDA, no efs backup, a small grey factory box on my homescreen, no lockscreen, 0049 imei etc... so many ppls with this problem, samsung? dafuq?

Don't blame Samsung for you're improper reading or lack there of. Normal users don't use Odin. Therefore its not Samsung's fault. Flash the MG4 modem and you should be good to go. You will not be spoonfed. Search something if you're don't know, are confused or not sure, etc.
I'm not flaming you either, this isn't directed at you or anyone in particular. Just read and search. You'll be good to go.

I don't understand what is "MG4"..ok is a modem for i9300 but where I can find it to proced flash...I search for them but I don't find it...please give a link..

So you're telling me, that if you search for the modem thread or a thread similar. That you couldn't flash just the modem with Odin. Or use the pre made CWM packages in the Modem thread. If you flashed the MG4 BTU ROM. Then you already have the modem. Flash it alone. Its really not the difficult. Read and look next time.

There are many roms available such as cm etc.. Don't worry you'll not brick your device as long as you follow the given instructions..

This.
Also, you should make a backup of your EFS, just in case. It contains very valuable information of your device such as IMEI and other stuff, and it's not recoverable without a proper Backup or Sammy's help in the rare event that it gets screwed. Look for a piece of software called EFS PRO on this forum. I'd like to give you the proper url, but I'm kind of busy in a crappy PC at work.
And make sure you use a i9300 compatible ROM, just wanted to make it clear because I've seen people with variants (like US) trying to flash a i9300 ROM and get it pretty messy.
Stock ROMs are fairly easy for starters.
Good luck!.-
PS: When using ODIN make sure that you don't have Re-Partition selected. I repeat, it must be NOT CHECKED. Or you'll be DOOMED.-
Hi
Why don’t you try with Omega first.
There's a flashing guide in post #4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656
Personal I prefer AOSP ROMs with MIUI.
Good luck
Edit: just make sure you do a nandroid backup. Always good to have a backup to go back to if things don't go as hoped. Have saved me many times.

Your backup could be damaged. I had this problem once with my Galaxy S, so I couldn't use my backup and had to install all apps manually...

OK, this has been said a few times, titanium backup is only good to use on the same base rom... Going from ICS to JB rom means there are going to be lots of FC's and other problems... Its like installing a mac os on a windows PC... Not gonna work.... You are trying to force JB to use ICS file structure and it doesn't like it...

Might not be a bad idea to hide parts of the IMEI and phone number next time.
Flash a full stock rom and see.

Im trying to odin to xxle8 which is what i had originally. but odin is saying the parameter is invalid. which firmware should i flash
Managed to flash by removing the .md5 of I9300XXALE8_I9300XSAALE6_XSA. Went into a bootloop so I did a factory reset and cache wipe, booted into the OS, still no service.
Then its not a software issue..
Maybe hardware

I know, didn't notice that the IMEI number and SN had been changed tho that's why I was running around in circles trying everything, next time I'll look at that first. I heard it was a common problem for the S3 so I made sure to do weekly FULL backups including an EFS backup (Thanks TWRP). Bit ****ty that I spent 3 days trying to fix something that ended up being fixed with a 4kb file and 5 seconds of work in recovery, eh, hope this thread may help someone one day, BACK UP YOUR FREAKING EFS RIGHT NOW. Everything is resolved and fixed, back to running Slim Bean like nothing ever happened, phew, thanks everyone for your help and I apologize for spamming the thread.

Black screen after boot! HELP (URGENT

Hi, I'm new here so bare with me.
I just rooted my Samsung S3-I9300 hours ago. And I was pumped up, what I did later on is I installed bootanimation and I didn't quite understand how to use it and I still don't, but in the end I got it to work but the logo was too small but this isn't the problem. I entered recovery mode and I don't know what I extracted or installed and I rebooted my device and all I hear is the Samsung booting music and that's all. My screen is black.
Your help is appreciated.
Is your phone actually booting?

Yes, it is booting. I can see the back button and the options button lit. It's just black.
BUMP.
I would probably wipe data in recovery mode, and last case scenario flash official firmware from sammobile.com.
This will make you lose all your saves and stuff though.
Wipe cache and/or full wipe. If still nothing, reflash ROM. It happened to me long time ago, nothing to worry about.

If you didnt make a backup, yes, use ODIN to flash a stock ROM.
You can find out which rom you currently have in settings/about phone.
Download the rom from sammobile.com and flash with ODIN.

Hi samorgs,
I've searched, but not getting this firmware I9300XXEMC2 for 4.3 version. If i flash a different version there is possibility of bricking it right? Sorry for this noobish question, i'm new to this.
Regards,
Ravi.
You can flash pretty much any version of the firmware but it must be for the GT I9300 only. Not any other variation like the I9305 or the ones that are made for the the startes. Like Verizon or AT n T most likely you will brick your and phone.
Ravi this is the link to the XDA page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847
I strongly suggest you read this and Google search the way to unroot it.
This is an application on the play store that takes you directly to Sam mobile that gives you all the official firmware. India is linked under two id INU & INS. I have the file it I'd 800 mb so so watch out of your using your mobile data plan.
Hope this helps Best of luck.

Hi Rudy83,
It is resolved now. I downloaded One click Odin, then did a master clearhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989. This procedure took around 30 mins. While this was progressing nothing was showing in the progress window, so waited for 30 mins & then unplugged the USB, then the progress bar started to fill up & then the message reflected RESET successfull! Then flashed the zip which is found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639746 & then reflashed the firmware. It solved the problem. Status in the phone settings shows NORMAL not as MODIFIED.
Not sure how it happened but it happened. Thanks for your help.

Ravi.
