Please tell me you backed up EFS before installing?
OP check IMEI is correct if not restore your backed up EFS folder .
No backup take to a service centre for repair .
Fail to read the faqs and guides leads to problems .

i not back up any thing and imel is not correct

This is why XDA stresses the importance of reading before flashing, Unfortunately the only fix i know if to take it in for service. unless someone else knows a fix

Please don't blame others for a problem that is 99.99% your fault. Read before you flash. Unfortunately looks like its gonna need a service. And you don't have a warranty. So I recommend flashing stock and then heading to Samsung.
I fllash a stock ROM via Kies ; but phone still bricked.
Unfortunally my efs backup have been corrupted during installation.
Flashing a stock ROM would never help, unless you flashed the MG4 one. Thats the one you should flash because thats the one that contains the only baseband (Well one of two anyway) that can read the EFS after modified. If you're not on MG4 now, at least flash that before seding it for repair, just to rule out having the incorrect modem. If that doesn't work, not much will. Repair centres can repair this stuff pretty easily and cheaply though
EMG4 can't read my EFS, et Stoxk restoration via Kies don't work... :crying:
---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
Ouch ; reinstall the UltimaROM with EMG4 et Boeffla Kernel, and network came back
phewwww
Now you must stay on mg2 or mg4 baseband.

I made the same mistake as you did, I did not backup the EFS on my international S3. Here's a solution that worked for me. I don't know if this was because my previous ROM was Samsung-based, or any other mysterious force, but after restoring my previous ROM from recovery mode, my phone is back to normal. I mean the IMEI is a match and the cell signal/3gsignal is back to normal.
So before you try anything with your phone, or send it to Sammy, try and recover your previous ROM from recovery. Then, during installation of the Shiva ROM, make the damn EFS backup when it asks you to.

Must be coincidence as a normal nandroid backup doesnt backup efs. Philz can backup efs in a custom job. No idea about TWRP and who cares about CWM?!

TWRP does indeed have this feature. seems that CMW is falling waaaaaaaaay behind, although TWRP for me backs up to data so if you wipe/factory data reset it deletes the backups too, correct me if i am incorrect :good:

I think its not for many, I mean it has a ton of features but the honest truth is i I don't think they are working for 'usable' recovery as it seems that putting the backups in /data was a rushed concept as it gets deleted at every new ROM install, unless someone knows how to configure it?

UPDATE EDIT: I have had some progress since my original post. Could you please read my latest posts, maybe you could help me out
Samsung S3 GT-I9300 purchased in the UK.
Its my sisters mobile and i think its soft bricked. She told me it just happened and she done nothing. I received the phone in stock condition.
The phone was orignally stuck solid on the first startup title screen and would not go any further. This is what i have done so far:
1. booted the phone into recovery mode which shows E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
2. wiped cache partition
3. wiped data/factory reset
4. Installed Odin3-v3.04 and downloaded I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar
5. Connected phone to Odin and flashed the above .tar file which completed sucessfully.
The phone rebooted and it still got stuck on the first startup title screen.
I then looked for a different version and downloaded I9300XXEMF1_I9300EVREMF1_I9300BVEMF1_HOME.tar
this version also installed sucessfully onto the phone after repeating what i had previously done.
The phone reboots and now gets past the first title screen to the animated samsung logo but then keeps looping the animation.
The blue led in top left corner is on and is pulsing from dim to bright constantly while it loops.
Getting a little progress with the 2nd version i kept this on and patched CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar ontop of it.
Still the same looping when it gets to animated samsung logo
I dont know if this would of helped but i then tryed downloading the NV Generator to make a new IMEI file but cant get
the phone to respond to NV reader writer program.
Iv downloaded Adb and tryed to push the IMEI file onto the phone but it fails with error E: Signature Verification Failed
Im a beginner and this is the first time iv tryed to fix a phone and iv hit a brick wall and not sure now if im wasting my time.
can anyone help me get to the next stage?
Restore your backed up EFS would be the first step .
Do you actually have an I9300 as the NV tool is for a different phone
jje
Does your phone have a cwm or twrp now that u cf rooted it? If u do..then just flash a new rom over it after a clean wipe..(not stock) hopefully your phne should reboot to the new rom..otherwise ill think of another way..put the files into the extmem card using a card reader..or take a tar file of the new rom and flash it after clean wipe..works for me everytime i f up

wipe cache partition

Ahh yes I get you now. sorry lol.
what if I get a backup /efs from another phone. would I be able to mount it via sd card, then edit the efs to suit my phone so its not a clone of the phone iv got it from?
iv just flashed ODIN_CheckROM_V4_XXBLG8
it gives alot more options to fiddle around with. I think I could fix this phone to be honest if I keep looking into it.
OMG!! after installing the rom I just posted the phone has booted up and im in
I don't know what to do now.
is the efs fixed? should I make a backup?
how did this fix the phone?

Ok sorry I didn't know, I just thought it was just a missing folder that could be copyed.
the phone has now booted up
[Resurrection Edition] CheckROM EvoHD™ V4 [ODIN ROM]
this is what I flashed and it seems to have fixed it?
can anyone explain what has happened, I would like to understand what this rom was able to do that the others I flashed before couldn't.
if it booted it doesn't mean that EFS is okay

do you know what I could do from here to fix the efs?
should I try and pull anything from the phone onto my computer now that its booted?
when I goto status it says IMEI unknown
I know my imei number is behind the battery, how do I register it?
the fact that it booted changes nothing.
you can't repair the EFS if you don't have a backup
what is EFS? is it a folder? a file?
can anyone else explain a little more?
it is a folder.
to explain a little more - you need a new motherboard because every EFS folder is device-specific
I cant get the phone to connect to my wifi. Kies is not picking up the phone either.
is there a way I can download apps to my pc and load them onto the phone? I would like to try and get root explorer installed to see if there is an efs folder.
i tried EFS PRO. it has generated an efs.img file, is it useful?
this is what i done to get it, im not sure if its correct. can anyone tell me?
i went into Backup and selected Device Filter: International Variants
i ticked the block device box and clicked the backup button.
the operation was successful and it created the zip file with the efs.img inside it.
i have pulled this zip from the phone using QtADB_0.8.1_
does anybody know if this file can be used to fix the problem? or has it made a backup of a corrupt efs folder?
hello guys!!
I've been flashing roms since many years but last night I just stuck to a problem of which I cant find any solution and yes NO NETWORK at all no matter what aosp/aokp I flash , I go like wipe factory,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache but no use ........please guys help me what should I do now ???an yeah just to let u guys know that THe sim is perfect and is running cool along perfect network on my Nokia but not on my phone which so sad......so guys help me out and yes THANks.
Difficult to give you any help, you haven't give any information on what went wrong.
Try posting what happened, if you have matching imei under battery to phone info and which modem version you flashed last.
You do have efs backup, right?

Does your IMEI match the one under the battery .
If not restore your backed up EFS folder .
Fail to backup its a service centre paid for repair .

If imei and serial number are not corrupted. Check your APN settings. You may want to flash stock rom to see if that works. Backing up efs folder highly recommended.

Try Ariza patch. Search XDA and downlowd apk. You may need to install the patch every time you update the software.

Dial *#06# in your phone's dailer and if your IMEI matches the IMEI on your phone's box or under battery then its something else.
If it says something like 0049xxxx or null or 0000... Your IMEI is corrupted.
In the case of corrupted IMEI you must have a backup of your EFS folder in order to restore it. If you have backed up your EFS then you're safe. If not.... Only Samsung can fix it for you, provided you have warranty left.
I had the same problem.. my IMEI changed to 0049xxxxxx by installing Custom Rom. Got it fixed for free by Samsung PM me if you want to know how.

Hi there.
I have a ROM backed up via recovery and I am pretty sure I have backed up my EFS as well.
However upon restoring my phone to stock, I noticed upon boot that I had the generic IMEI number (004999010640000) and have been unable to make calls etc.
Upon noticing I had to re-root and install recovery (PhilZ Touch 5, CWM Base version: 6.0.3.3) to restore the ROM and hope it restores my IMEI which it didn't, next I looked for my EFS in a folder called EFS_Backup and in there is 'efs_05Aug2013-2257.tar.gz" however it appears to be empty.
I don't know what to do as I am out of warrenty and I thought I completed the steps, theres no .bin or .img files I can find.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
You have to restore it using custom restore from philz

you said efsBackup.tar.gz is empty so which means its 'bad' backup . so obviously it won't work.

How big is the .tar.gz file? It should only be 80Kb
If zero size then yes, you are screwed unless flashing a full stock 4.1.2 rom via odin makes the efs readable again (make sure it's an EMG ROM if you've EVER flashed an EMG rom to your phone)

Dear boomboomer,
I know how to take an efs back up.i was asking him so that i could help him because i have a little know how of EFS PRO and have restored my lost imei by that.
ok everybody, thank u for droping by. i have instaled other rom but without ariza patch i would be lost. i hope there is another solution to install that patch with recovery and not by app it self. efs pro was used to backup nfs. imei is there but serial is 0000000000000000000000000000000000000 !!!!!!!
After having S3 for some months, I decided to update it to 4.3.
So I searched online and saw some tutorials how to root and install costum ROMs.
I read few tutorials to be sure how to do that and after all went good and the ROM installed, One problem has rised: NO SIGNAL!
so I wiped all and installed a ROM STOCK.
After that the signal came back "half way". It's showing signal bars but I can't call to anyone, even after calling to my provider...
I just don't know what to do. Please help

well these tutorial you've read were either very bad or you haven't read them correctly, because probably you missed the important step of the efs backup. see therefor the stickies thread or the thousands of similiar questions here in the q&a.

That is your backup flash with odin
( When you flashed a custom rom it probably backed up your efs some roms backup by default)
I would just backup your efs you have at the moment just in case you have problems flashing. You will then be able to return to how your efs is now even though it is not fully working..
Or try this app >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool <<
The phone has to bee rotted to use ktool?
I also understand from the link you did about the EFS that there are two types of base bands and if I have an efs backup that I did on V1 baseband so I can't restore it on a v2 baseband, so my conclusion is to get back to 4.1.2... correct me if I am wrong

good that you found efs backup
yes you need root. or you use the recovery philz touch to restore your efs (then you don't need root, but a custom recovery).
well samsung roms based on 4.3 need efs v2, so you have to go back to 4.1.2 to restore your efs v1 backup.
if everything is working again, I would suggest you to use oding to upgrade to 4.3, because then everything should be updated correctly (but keep your efs backup, and make another one, just to be sure)
then you can try out again custom roms based on sammy 4.3
So what is the best option to restore it?
Because before I tried (while 4.3 stock rom was installed) the flash it with Odin but Odin always crashed when I was uploading it to Odin.
With kTool I tried before but when I am clicking on the button it says that it restored but he didn't asked for directory, when do I need to put it?
The same story with phliz, I also tried with this and he don't asks for directory, only asking whan the ending if the file-tar to bin...

I found the /efs. I dind't know that I need to use root explorer...
I exchanged the files with my back up and suddenly instead of 0049 IMEI I got 0000 IMEI.
I tired also to flash a modem and also didin't work...

Hmm... try installing another EFSv2 modem, then do the /efs copying part again.
Suddenly after so restarts, the IMEI got back
But... The SN now is 0000000000
You'll need to correct the permissions of the files you've copied. Try searching for someone who already did this and duplicate what they did.

Ok,
I tried something new. I flashed a new modem, backed up a full backup and then installed a costum rom 4.3.
the IMEI GOT BACK! And even the SERIAL NUMBER!
But I think the serial number is not good because he has 16 or 17 (I don't remember) digits (numbers and letters).
But still i have signal bars but can't make or receive calls he says: "No registered on network"
For the finalle, I tried ARIZA patch but he Is stuck on 0%...
here I stopped, I really don't know what to do.
Don't use the Ariza patch once you've got your IMEI and SN back. Maybe try flashing a new stock version of Android with a EFSv2 baseband so as to not go through the copying fiasco.
