I don't know how to go CM 10.1 temasek build from XXEMG4. Whenever I try, it'd always show up no service or no signal at all
Things I've tried (Take note I've Wipe Cache and Data all the time)
1. Flashed build then flashed modem from JustArchi
2. Flashed build then Gapps then Modem
3, Backed Up using ktool, flashed build then gapps then modem, then restored efs
4. Repeated number 4 over and over again
Any help would be appreciated!! I really wanna try Temasek's 116.1 build since it looks very promising and it's his last unofficial build of 4.2.2
Did you flash MG4 modem again?
I think you need to flash a version without ril

Yes I've done that already. I've flashed the emergency.zip of JustArchi already with modem XXEMG4 yet it marked no signal. Thank goodness I made a backup of my Rom
Try a different recovery like philz custom cwm, to really wipe everything out, make a clean slate to work on.

same result, no service
Here's what I did
1. Flashed Philz
2. Clear data to flash new rom
3. gapps
4. flashed modem
5. Restored efs
Note: My Imei is present and my baseband is XXEMG4 but I still have no signal and no service.. I dont know what to do :/
Edit: It worked!! Thanks so much!! I can finally use it I just had to wait for an hour or so. Thank you!
Glad you got it working!

Hey guys i have been having some signal problems with my ace, but I only have them when inside my house. This started happening when I flashed gingerbread 2.3.5 to get a custom rom for my Ace (which is awesome btw!) the rom I am currently using is WP7 Rom by Jinavs. I have googled & searched a lot and all I found was a code to change the GSM too 900/1800 but I tried the code and it said that it was invalid, the code is *#2263#. Then I read something about changing the phone's modem is this possible on custom firmware? I never had any problems when I was on Stock Froyo 2.2.1. Any help guys?
Also master reset or factory reset does not work :/
what I do sometimes is airplane mode or turn off the phone and it sometimes works
and it only happens inside my house it works fine in any other place.
Any help will be appreciated

I'm from Puerto Rico if that changes anything. Also is this risky? would it brick my phone because the Rom I'm using is based on XWKS2
Also how would I flash the modem only?
And I would like to keep this rom because I love WP7 xD
Anyone? :/

create a cwm backup then. the point of reflashing stock rom is to get correct modem for your region. after that u can just restore the cwm backup, it wont overwrite the modem.

Hi all,
I installed PA v2.5. Everything worked well except my phone network signal. It is not detecting any signal. Did every thing i could do. wiped system/factory reset, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. Fixed permissions. Formatted system. tried installing rom a number of times. Changed kernels from stock kernel to siyah 4.1.3 and 5.0. But none of the method worked. Please suggest the way i can get my phone signals as without network signal, it doesn't remain a phone.
Have you tried flashing another modem? You can download a modem here.
Why don't you try to install an other kernel? Different from siyah and stock... As kernels define how hardware work...

You installed siyah 4.1.3 with PA 2.5? They're not compatible and the phone shouldn't even have booted.
Anyways, if you're not able to get a signal, your modem has probably changed. You can check if the modem currently on your phone (settings>about phone) is the same as the one you originally had. ( I assume you've noted down your original modem details somewhere. And flash that modem from the link mentioned above. It should work

I had installed i9100DDLPA base version originally. and now i have flashed it. still not getting signal. sometimes it appears but disappear next moment. it happens frequently. Now i have switched to stock ics 4.0.3. but i want this rom. i flashed resurrection remix and found same problem. but flashing stock modem fixed it. But its not working with pa.
Use siyah 5.0 or dorimanx 7.4 (or higher if there's a later release.) I think the siyah dev gokhanmoral has blocked siyah 5.0 downloads for some reason, so use dorimanx 7.x for now.
Flash the PA ROM, it'll automatically install the default kernel its using. You can install dorimanx after that. And then if necessary, the modem that works for you. Also you can use the getRIL app to match your radio and baseband. May help.

Hi, i love PA too but we have the same issue. Not exactly the same though. I get signal when i boot my phone, i get an H signal (the highest i could get before the issue) but after flashing PA, it drops to E only after about 2minutes. Pls pls reply back if you found a solution. I have tried different modems and kernels already, verified that Siyah 5 is not compatible, tried DorimanX, same thing. Tried 2 different version of PA, no luck. Not to mention that i also tried another sim.
GetRil did it..
Hurraaayyy....
getRil app solved the problem.:laugh: It gave me the option of flashing modems which were matching my phones modem hardware. Thanks to all guys who helped me. Thanks a lot. Anyone having the same problem as of mine or any network related problem please give a try to getRIL app. May be it could work for you too.

Hello everyone,
It has been more than one year that I've been using Samsung-based custom ROMs on my S3, but now when I want to use an AOSP ROM, I can't make calls with them!
I've tried Cyanogenmod 10.2 (latest weekly) and SlimBean 4.3 (latest stable) and when I try calling someone, the call ends immediately. If I try opening the phone app -> settings -> Additional settings, I get a "Call settings error: Network or SIM card error". This does not happen when I use the stock ROM or a Samsung-based ROM (like Wanamlite or Omega, which I've used the most).
What should I do? I'd appreciate any help!

Seemed like a good idea - I tried flashing 3 different versions (via Odin) and none of them made the calls work
Maybe I'm just using the wrong ones?
Can anyone link me the latest modems available for the international S3 that works with the 4.3.x android versions and the new EFS partition formats? I'd appreciate it so much, as I can't find anything past 4.1.2 versions :good:

If you don't have a ext Sd card don't try my suggestion! I would only ever advise a full wipe if you have a ext sd card just in case anything goes wrong plus like you said where would you put the rom. I would strongly suggest you getting a ext card no matter how small if you are flashing roms.

Now you have confused me even more! I thought you said in your previous post that you had connection on 4.3 stock rom if so why are you on 4.1.2 ?. Stock rom 4.3 is efs v2 and stock rom 4.1.2 is efs v1 if you have no connection on 4.3 then this is your problem you still have efs v1 which will not work on 4.3 or any of the newer roms please confirm that you have a signal on 4.3 stock rom.

Ok that's good it means you are on v2 efs which is good..I just needed to confirm that you had v2 efs I thought you might have been on 4.1.2 because of no signal.
I must admit this is a strange one because the asop roms,omni roms etc don't change your baseband which can effect your signal.There is one more option you could try use this patched modem >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-firmware-i9300xxemg4-t2377731/post43946365 << by JustArchi look at post 15.

Just want to add something
I used to install custom roms often. All of them worked perfectly fine
When I saw my flash counter it was 20+
So, I decided to use triangle away
Since then I am unable to flash any custom rom with working network successfully
Hi, there.
I would like to flash a Touchwiz Based 4.4.4 ROM for the International Version of Galaxy S3 (i9300). Currently it is running Android 4.1.2 stock rooted and TWRP installed.
So I wanted to ask aside from the regular flashing procedure if there is any other precaution to be taken.
I will definitely update to TWRP 2.8.6.1. Please let me know if any other file is to be flashed so as to avoid Bricking.
For Eg. Modems, Bootloaders or any other such files. Also feel free to suggest a 4.4 T/W Rom
Thank You.

Make a back up of your current rom,back up everything you need, wipe factory reset in recovery and install 4.4.4.
Make sure to read the instructions in the OP of the rom you want to install eg blekota note4

Thanks for replying sir. But are you 100% sure that I will not have to flash any modem before flashing Blekota. I've seen a lot of problems of people out here. Some losing EFS. Some losing IMEI. I do not doubt you at all but I would like to exercise precaution on my behalf.
Also My current Baseband Version as it appears in the Settings is DDELK1. So do I need to update it ? Also I won't have problems like Losing My IMEI or Simcard not being detected, Right ?
Thanks Again.
@x0nar: you're right. Flashing a custom-ROM with modem MG4 or newer will mess up your IMEI /net access. So go back to old firmware, fe ELLA, and update via OTA or KIES to JB 4.3. This changes your efs-data version 1 into version 2. Make sure, you have a modem N** afterwards. The you can root again and flash KK or LP-ROM.

Never Mind. Already ****ed it up. Flashed Blekota and initially I lost my IMEI. Flashed MJ3 Modem recovered it but no network. Says only Emergency calls Available.
Also flashed MG2 still no progress yet. And you know what the biggest problem is ? The device does not even belong to me. My friend requested me to update it and I messed it up. Any recourse ? The area of my residence is India. Could you please tell me which modem to flash ?.
Thanks
@x0nar: sad. Maybe your efs-data are currupt now. My only suggestion is to flash ELLA-firmware, hoping that OTA-update or KIES rewrite them.
The only right thing in the naive advice of Siberian Tiger is to make a backup. Did you? Then restore 1st.

Yeah. I did an EFS Backup. Even after restoring, the IMEI still was reflecting "Unknown".
But Never Mind, fortunately it gained a revival after Flashing the MJ3 Radio. However it would not connect to Mobile Network. So I flashed several other Radios and it's all set now and everything works just fine. Thanks for your help
@x0nar: then you belong to the lucky few, fine. But I meant a full backup of /boot, /system, /data. Do this before you experiment with KK.
