[Q] OTA updated XXEMG4 in another country, no signal - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I need help please!
I was travelling the last 3 months with my S3 and my phone said there was an update and I did it (I was in Indonesia). Coming back to my country (Chile) I had no signal. After reading some forums I think I screwed up. Baseband is XXEMG4. IMEI is the same as appear in the back of my phone (I searched for it dialing *#06#). I don't know what to do to fix it. Sometimes I get signal but when I try to call it says that im not registered in the network. My phone is rooted but before upgrading I didnt backup the EFS. I factory reset it and nothing. Is the anything I can do?
I have signal but can't register to the network! But then the signal is lost and then comes back. Also can't call.
Please help me, I would appreciate a lot!!
Thanks for your time.

hi,
yes this evening
you can try to flash with odin , again
for change modem
1- open any firmware with winrar and extract "modem.bin" in your desktop
2- you can flash modem.bin in PHONE with odin
edit- firmware mg4 change efs partition - is not possible flash old modem but only mgX series
only with backup efs folder is possible downgrade

i'm from india and i flashed XXEMG4 the day it was released and after some days i was unable to make calls and was also unable to text people randomly! then i just flashed the indian f/w XXEMG5 and then the problem is no more! flash XXEMG5 via odin and check the result. if you face the problem again, flash the f/w-s that are released after MG4.
:good:

my s3 after reflash firmware mg4 with odin all working fine.
if you have a backup efs folder you can flash rom custom and use old modem
if you don't have a backup efs , if you flash another rom custom ,you need to flash mg4 modem

If you got the I9300 model with no sim lock- no problem.
Ps- notice that if your current build is below EMG4, than your file partition will be changed to EFSv2,
needs to be noticed if you'll try to go back to 4.1.2 afterwards

I think he can go back after flashing 4.3 ROM. I have done that.
Aashish, you can install any ROM as per your requirement if SIM is not locked with any SP.
But there is a chances of loosing IMEI. So please take backup. Search and download MG4 modem handy.

Yeah what you propose seems very straightforward BUT it would be advisable to do a full backup INCLUDING EFS, just check the EFS box in TWRP for instance, as it's not usually included in a backup by default.

Ah I get it now, in which case I would be tempted to go to an Indian 4.1.2 firmware through ODIN and the update through OTA if that's possible. That would reduce the chase of stuffing up your EFS by using an official Samsung update procedure.

Not registered on network GT-I9300

After I flash new official rom my phone ? loose the network
I tried service mod but not work ,rooted and flash modem also not work
Please help

You tried flashing back your former firmware ?
You have posted only half the story, what had been done to the phone previously? If your efs was patched, or kernel & modem, to fix botched repairs then you will have to repeat these patches each time you flash a firmware.
No. because I don't backup before flashing ??

Mmm don't know much about that method.
What recovery are you using? Make sure the files you downloaded are not corrupt also make sure you are using a custom recovery (not stock recovery) also make sure you are definitely rooted these are common reasons for Signature Verification Failed
I recommend
(1) Flashing stock 4.3
(2) Rooting with CF-Auto-Root
(3) Flash Custom recovery Cwm,Twrp,PhilZ
then flash your patched files......
If not work service repair.....

The patched files don't fix wrong imei they only allow you to get a network signal by allowing your efs to read your modem thus giving you a signal. If they don't work then I suggest service repair.

You are simply great. Thanks.

G925F - no network after update to 6.0.1

I have an S6 Edge G925F phone, witch have Android 5.1.1
In order to update it, I downloaded latest firmware with Android 6.0.1 for my country from samfirmware.com
Used Odin to do the upgrade and everything was fine
After restart, no network only!
My IMEI changed.
What can I do to fix it?
I can't add photos to show you all the details!

flash mm bootloader and modem then reflash the stock firmware. what exactly did you flash?
This is the ROM I'ved flashed with:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/106392/G925FXXS4DPJ2_G925FOXX4DPH1_ROM/
After flashing I found that the phone was rooted and tha was the cause of IMEI change.
I can't flash to stock firmware cause I can't downgrade from Android 6 to Android 5.
Tell me what more information do you need in order to find the right fix for my problem?
Thanks a lot!

You can not downgrade. So flash this mm firmware with updated bootloader and modem
I've done flashing that ROM, but the problem is steel there!
I don't know what mm stands for?
Shall I try anything else now?

MM just stands for marshmallow. Have you tried a simple reset network settings?
Go on settings, backup and reset >reset network settings. Then reboot. If not working try change the network to gsm.
Done that, but nothing changed!
Some say that I have to rewrite the RF CAL files, recalibrate the radio part.
Using code *#0011# I get:
IMEI STATUS : NG

Corrupt efs files is what this is. To be honest it's very hard to fix, I'm yet to know anybody to successfully fix it. Not sure what to suggest other than try another stock ROM.
you should have made an efs backup and now you have got yourself in a world of trouble

Please help me(lost imei and can't connect network)

My Samsung S6 Edge after I flash custom ROM, I lost my imei and the phone can't connect network, anyone can help me? Thanks.
I try to flash stock ROM with odin but alway fails I try many time and always fails.

Did you backup your efs files before flashing? Or make a nandroid backup?
It's is very hard to repair lost or corrupted imei.
What error message in Odin?
