Did you happen to install emg4? If yes, either restore efs backup or install emg4 modem
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Now I cant even download the stock Samsung using ODIN it keeps telling me failed
You don't need to flash firmware. Just modem as suggested. All info in the imei / efs thread. Please read the stickies

Thanks a lot for your help everything is working properly now.
Now am facing a bit of a different problem, I flashed emg4 and worked perfect but I did that while I was rooted, now when I unrooted everything was removed including the emg4 modem and don't know how to flash it back without rooting, any help please?

I thought of doing that, but that way I will lose updating my phone over OTA or even kies, because it will be a rom of different country

When MG4 or newer comes out for your country, flash that by Odin too. I don't see you have a lot of choice tbf.

I will wait, though its weird that I cant get the phone to work as it used to and have to download modem and stuff, actually its disappointing, anyway thank you for your help.
Its not weird really. Flashing mg4 rom changes efs so older modems cannot read it. That's why you can't get it to work

No need to wait just root your device and flash some good custom roms, like omega or something. Stock roms are good anyway. You wont regret rooting or flashing if you do it right. Trust me

Hi Guys,
i was running with temasek's CM for a long time now.
Then i wanted to try out the Omega ROM and installed it. With this install i bricked my EFS partition. I had many tar.gz backups, so i restored it.
(Just unpacked it to /efs with a root explorer. After that i had to change "OFF" to "ON" in /efs/FactoyApps/Factorymode and it worked with the Stock Rom (flashed with Odin).
No Generic IMEI and i was able to phone someone.
But however, when i want to install ANY custom rom, i cant unlock my Simcard! I type in my Pin, but it wont unlock. The Pin-Screen wont go away.
Why? With Stockfrom (via Odin) it works without any problem.

Omega bricks nothing. It is an EFS upgrade. Please read about it.

I flashed the latest 4.3 BTU from samfirmware in the excitement of hoping many fixes in 4.3 but only to be dissapointed by many issues which are all over the forum.
So i decided to go back to 4.1.2 MG4 since this was very stable and no issues. But after flashing this via Odin my phone just loops at boot - samsung logo.
I was wondering if someone can help me fix this, i dont want to clear the data etc if it can be avoided.
I am not rooted and only been using stock rooms, have flashed all the updates via odin in the past but no issues but going back to 4.1.2 has caused this problem....
Thanks...

It's also a stock kernel, makes no difference to the CSC code you have. Search xda for an odin version of the Chinese kernel.

Do you mean download the chinese firmware and flash that on top of the BTU one im running...?
No. That would probably result in more problems.
Just flash the kernel, which several people have extracted from that firmware and created either a CWM or Odin file to flash.
Hello
My friend bought GS3 months ago in Arabic country with ICS 4.0.4 installed. When I saw the box, I found that the GS3 is a grey market product. It has Region Lock label written in Russian language on the box and the ROM is pre-rooted CWM Custom ROM
Now, Kies dose not upgrade this version and he wishes to have Arabic stock ROM 4.3 if possible. What are the safest steps to do?
- If I download and flash Arabic stock ROM, will I loose modem connectivity?
- Do I need to backup and restore EFS data if I flash stock ROM?
- Do I need root to restore EFS data/modem driver after flashing STOCK ROM?
- Should I flash custom ROM instead of Stock ROM?
I want a safe way, I don't wish to cause network/EFS loss to the device?
I read a lot but came to no conclusion.. please help

Kies shld have an emergency firmware feature. Try using it.
1. U will not. Just dun downgrade
2. If u aren't gg back to 4.1.2, dun bother. But recommended.
3. Yes.
4. Ur choice. If u wan bugless rom, go for stock rom. Many also say stock is one of the best.

If u are rly just tat scared to lose ur imei. Go kies and do the firmware recovery. U will get stock rom automatically.

Depends on the phone history on what will happen on upgrade to 4.3, sim lock may return or imei lost due to patched efs folder. No way to know until you get flash, so backup efs now.
4.1.2 EMG4 is when efs format changed, anything before this shouldn't cause too many issues.

Bump for me
Flash the full stock rom for your country with Odin then factory reset in recovery. If efs is not read by the stock rom then restore your efs backup.
No backup then you'll have to pay for a repair.

If your IMEI is 0049 or null, try to use a patched MG4 modem first. Revolutionary roms don't have modem in them so that can cause some issues occasionally.
Let me know if it works.

Hello There,
I think the problem is the rom itself, i advise you to degrade your phone to its stock rom/orig rom and find a better rom.

- I would recommend never to post imei anywhere
- If the imei matches then all's ok.

I'm guessing that you made no efs backup? Do your phone's cellular functions or wi-fi work while running a custom rom? What kind of GS3 do you own (i9300 or i9305?).

You cannot go backwards to 4.1 with out a efs v1 back up. Somewhere in 4.3 samsung updated it to v2.
Without a back up you can only use the latest 4.3 and upwards.
