I bought my S3 with Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. Everything working.
I backed up EFS and downgraded to 4.1.2. No signal. "Not registered on network". All providers show up, I get bars, my IMEI is a valid one but not the same as the one under battery, same goes for the serial number.
I restored EFS, same thing. I reverted to Cyanogenmod 10.2, same thing. I've tried everything.
What can I do?
Is the imei starting 0049? What baseband do you have now?
Did you read the imei / efs thread in general > sticky roll-up thread?

No, the IMEI looks like a legit IMEI starting in 3 and ending in 4. I'll get the phone to check the baseband now.
I've read everything I could find. I've been searching the internet too for about 4 days, 5 hours a day lol
EDIT: XXEMG4 is my baseband
If the imei is a standard format but not matching - something has happened. Id get that looked at professionally

Yep, its standard format and so is the serial. But both differ from the numbers under the battery.
Im thinking some hex codes must have been changed in the restoration of the EFS??
Probably the standard generic IMEI gone wrong number .

Unlikely. Do you know 100% it used to match or have you only just noticed after the restore?
Looks to me like a motherboard has been replaced but perhaps with a second hand one.
Anyway they're supposed to match so i'd:
1) confirm there's nothing dodgy / reported stolen etc with original imei
2) if not, get a repair centre to set the details as they should be if it is within their legal power

hex compare nv_data.bin from back up and current from phone since it has fix 2mb size. if there are minor two three bytes of difference you can manually patch bytes and try.

I have the same 0000 problem.
My device is international i9300. I corrupted i'ts imei and serial number 1 day after purchase. Today I take my device to a 3rd. party technician and he solve the imei problem but serial 000000 problem remains.
I wiped data and cache after I take it back. And I did a factory reset via android menu. But still the same 0000 serial.
I backed up my efs folder to several locations and make a backup with ktool too. So what is the next step?
Should I flash the latest samsung firmware via odin amd make a full wipe after that?
Or just flash some cm10 rom.
Sorry for bad english and thanx in advance.

Hi, don't worry about bad English mine isn't so good either. Were you able to get your serial number back? If so what did you do? I have the same problem it was gone after I flashed a new rom I had lost the network and the IMEI but thanks to this site and DocHoliday77 the phone is back in order except the serial number but it looks to me that it does not have an effect on the performance. so just may let it go before I do something dumb again. If you did get it back let me know how.

Hey man,
I read the post and tried using the MG4 modem but I still unable to connect to network. I would search for the network and select my service provider, a pop up would say "registered to network" but when I try to make a call a pop would appear and say "not registered to network".
Now in my notification bar i would see a hazard sign saying: "NO SERVICE selected network (bmobile) not available" any additional direction you could give me to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance!
Hi there,
problem as follows: I got a I9300 (pre-rootet and with some kind of chinese custom rom based on 4.0.4). I did not put in my simcard, but flashed it straight away with a 4.1.1 custom rom, and did the efs backup.
However, once I put in my simcard it shows no service. I have tried several roms and just restored stock recovery and stock firmware 4.1.1 but nothing has changed.
i have checked this threat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080076 and others, but still my phone is not having service.
I don't think that my efs partition is corrupted since when I type in those keycodes it still shows my imei. also I did a restore of my backed up efs.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

It looks like what I am looking for. However, I cannot find the files they are using
I'll keep looking... thanks
Update:
I have asked the person who gave the phone to me, and apparently it was a parallel import to china. However, I have no idea where it is from originally.
I have tried flashing a couple of different stock roms, but without success.
I have also tried to flash the chinese rom from the suggested thread, but it keeps failing when it comes to the part where it wants to install the modem.
Does anyone have an idea how to find out the origin of the phone?
I have tried Kies, entering the model number and serial, but kies does not accept the serial.
My last hope would be that I can find out which market it is from, then flash back the original stock firmware?
Any other ideas why it might show no service?
IMEI is shown, so I think efs partiotion should be still ok, right?
I'd really appreciate any help and suggestions. I am out of ideas...
Thanks
There is some issue with your efs or modem.
having imei does not confirm that efs folder is intact.
No service .
Usual is .
Wrong IMEI .
No Modem /wrong modem .
Wrong CSC / network connections no tet up .
Sim faulty .
Phone blocked due to theft .
Wrong firmware on phone .

IMEI is shown as on sticker.
I have no idea where the phone is originally from - I have contacted Samsung but they were not willing to help- they say it has not been bought in NZ so they cannot help me here. Hence I dont know which modem would be the correct one. I have tried a couple of different ones, but none seems to be working.
Sim is ok, also tried like 5 other sim cards.

That's what I read in other forums now as well.
The error seems to be common after unlocking with boxes.
So I suspect that someone unlocked the phone, which messed up the efs folder. The backup I made when I received phone, must already be faulty.
I also noticed that the SN in the phone settings shows up as a different number than the one on the sticker.
I guess I have to find someone with those 'boxes" who knows what he is doing Any suggestions for Auckland, NZ?
I have been to like 5 shops but noone could help so far... THANKS

Thanks, I had tried that. Kies doesn't recognize the SN. Strangely enough SN in settings and SN on sticker are not the same. I really think seller screwed with the efs partition.
Was it working with the original Rom?
From my reading of your posts you have not changed the modem or csc that it came with?
Perhaps if you tried a 4.0.4 Rom again you might have some luck given it was probably working when you received it.
The different serial numbers are suspicious though. Presumably the one on the sticker is the correct one. Would Samsung not be able to identify the phone by the SN and tell you what the original firmware is?

When I received the phone it was not working. Hence I installed stock rom. I also tried flashing different modems, but nothing helped.
I contacted Samsung service and they said they wouldn't be able to help me because I did not purchase the phone in the country where I live in, and also cannot give me any information about where the phone was originally from.
It possible that is an imei block. If the phone is sold with a subscription and the owner sell it to an other prson without paying anymore the taxes for the phone the operator is able to block your phone using the imei.

As bought origins unknown .
Non working may be faulty and not fixable .
May have been as said blocked as its a stolen phone .
If it is I9300 then i would be flashing stock ICS firmware with modem and CSC for the country/network you are trying to use the phone on .At least then after a successful flash their can only be two reasons for not working phone hardware or IMEI .

IMEI is ok. I also called my network provider to check if IMEI is blacklisted in my country, but say also say it's not blacklisted.
Someone told me (and I also read it on other forums) that this often happens after unlocks, which are actually not successfully finished.
I will meet him tomorrow and will post an update.
Thanks for the suggestions and help so far.
Ok last update:
Indeed the phone is unlocked and something went wrong with it. Apparently, it is a common thing that the IMEI changes during unlock and then has to be restored, which often causes that problem.
The guy who helped me got it fixed. Only problem is now that I cannot flash the modem file. So have to stick with roms which come without modem. Also it seems that some are incompatible with the 'old'modem
Right now I am using AOKP and everything is working.
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions!

wait a minute thats not a good sign, So your saying that you lost your Imei and that QCN backup did not work?
The only thing that worked was flashing a stock rom back... this is not in the guide lol HMMmmmmm
I am just thinking why that QPST tool would not work when it should of or shouldnt it, did you use it correctly??? Can you try do the same thing as you did before and see if it you are able to restore it over your imei now? If it works now then maybe it wont work if theres no IMEI when thats the time we really need it to work.....Maybe Lyriquidperfection can comment?
ChwadKs can you try that QPST tool again and do EXACTLY what you did when you lost your imei. If it doesnt work AGAIN then thats a good sign for us as then it must be something wrong on your end or Hopefully you did it wrong which is why it didnt work. But if you do the exact same thing again but this time it works, then it may be a bad sign for us

Try looking at the RIL. I9300 uses the Samsung RIL but the I9305 uses the Qualcomm RIL. So you will need to alter the Rom to reflect this and you will get baseband back!

Is there a way I could fix it? (imei unknown)
I did the same. Thinking I was being smart and not looking into it properly flashed with i9300 and not i9305 and now I have no IMEI. Searched everywhere and cant find a solution. If any one can help out with a solution, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have re-flashed several times, back to original and back to root and still null IMEI.

Hello everyone, I have a serious problem. I use my GT-i9300 international version with CM10.1. so far, so good. The problem started after I flashed omega rom 46.1 (4.2.2) and once a 5-6 hours the signal dropped dead. I thought it was modem Incompatibility, so I flased different kind of modems + RIL. nothing helped so I did a nandroid restore back to cm10.1. Unfortunately, the problem did not disapear. every once in a while, every day, the phone suddenly lose signal.sometimes it comeback to life by itself, or I reboot the phone and the signal is back. I have tried different modems, this time no RIL (cuz of cm10.1) , and nothing have changed. I just want to say that I do have the correct IMEI number. I flashed Ariza patch and it didn't help.
Is this a carrier problem ? because 6 months earlier with the same carrier -had no problems.
Please, I would be thankfu if someone can help me.
Could be carrier. Could be sim card. Maybe return to stock to rule out software

No you will need proof of ownership and a Samsung repair centre .
Check first did your custom rom backup efs
there is no any efs folder.
what should i do?
did you try to flash an emg2 or emg4 baseband? some have reported that this can restore network connection
i didnt try it yet,
how can i do that and where can i find this modem?

i installed the modem but nothing happend.
i tried to use azira patch but it still didnt help.
have you tried a full sock rom including mg4 or mg2 modem? if that doesnt work you may need service center

ariza patch is for serial no not imei.it does not help withj the new modems and may actually make things worse.
i tried to flash alot of roms so far, nothing helped.
the problem is the the devide was bought outside the country and there are no service center for that device..
There is nothing you can do to fix it, take to your local phone shop and ask for help.

i tried to do that but it still not working.
