Hello. for a month now i have this problem. ever since i installed omega 4.2.2 rom it happened. The phone suddenly lose signal, even in open places. only a reboot of the phone helps temporary. I hace tried to go back to stock,full wipe, changed kernel / modem/ everything (but the EFS folder), and nothing helped. the IMEI is okay. I even moved to another carrier so it isn't a carrier issue.
I added a Logcat. please, please, if someone can help me, I appriciate it and I would make a donation for him.
Thank you very much.

Have you checked/asked in the threads relating to the specific rom(s) you're (which you haven't mentioned. That's OK tho, we can read minds) if anyone has had issues like you're having/if this a specific bug/issue with that rom ?
Just a thought...
Yup asked in the OMEGA ROM where the first time this appeared dev said he don't know what's wrong after that other ROMs from Android development same bug. I always clean installs new ROM so tried that also

bad wifi module
I have similar problem on I5700 (galaxy spica). In service center they told me that wifi module was bad and colapsed. they exchange him and everything is okay. Did you try factory reset and flash with original rom?
no long time since i flashed stock ROM
looks like have to face it btw everything else working with wifi is good
ive ran into several people who says their imei was wiped or resetted to 00499... after updating to JB
was wondering why is this happening ? , also if one has a device which its IMEI was changed, then he shouldnt update to JB ? that will force him to repair IMEI again ?
thank you.
Whatever... Just backup the EFS folder.

Your IMEI , is not reset if flashing rom JB , but for safety run a backup folder EFS ( for samsung device )
Make a backup of your IMEI / MEID / EFS Data in case you need to restore it in the event that it is lost after a flash.
This will put a copy of efs.sbn on the root of your internal sdcard.
i did make a backup with EFSPRO, would that do the trick ?
anyways im just asking in general why is this even happening in particular with JB ?

It happens with any flash ICS JB custom .
99% to 100% of such problems are noob flashers who have difficulty following instructions .

I was not getting any network with i9300XXELLA so I´ve flashed with odin I9300UBDLJ2_I9300VILI1_I9300ZVVDLJ1_HOME.tar (which is supposed to be the ROM for Brazil, and carries Vivo). Now I´m stuck on the Samsung logo. Any thoughts?
you can try doing a factory reset.
You didn't answer in that thread, did your IMEI match the one on the box?

Any stock rom should work, try a wipe as suggested.
Are your imei and serial numbers correct?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I´ve already tried 3 different stock roms and no luck.
I´ve removed the batt and it looks like a label used to be there but it was pealed off so I cannot tell that the serial or imei are...
Do you think maybe a custom rom would make any difference?
So you don't want to wipe or what?
I did wipe.
Are you sure you have a i9300? Have to double check.

What´s weird is that it was working with the first custom rom. I remember it had some t-mobile on it...so I´m not sure what´s what.
You still need to check if the IMEI is correct though.

First of all, this is not my first time flashing a custom rom. I've been using different roms for months. Before this tragedy I was using MIUI as my primary rom and CM10.2 temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V10 as my secondary rom with Googy-Max Kernel 1.6.7 installed. Everything works perfectly fine. Yesterday I decided to install Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 as my secondary rom. During the installation the installer asked me to choose one modem. And I randomly chose one of them. After that I rebooted my phone into secondary rom, but there was only black screen. Then I took out the battery, reboot it into my primary rom. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOBILE SIGNAL WAS GONE. I tried to flash different modem/baseband and tried everything I can find on the internet. Now the signal shows" Emergency Call Only". I used Odin to restore my phone to stock rom, everything on my internal storage is gone BUT THE SIGNAL IS STILL "Emergency Call Only". The SN is normal (not all 00000000) but imei is wrong. Can someone tell me what the f*** is happening to my phone? Thank you so much! :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Update: I sent my phone to Samsung care. And they said some sort of chip on my phone is broken. And they charge me 200 dollar for replacement! Hell no! Any ideas??

...and the IMEI matches the sticker?
Maybe look on the internal and external sd card for an efs backup. Maybe a rom you flashed took one.

The stupid thing is I didn't know efs before this. And there is a backup. But nothing happened after I restored it. Another thing is the Titanium Backup on my phone became a free version. It should be a premium one. Does that mean I lost my efs? Then how come I still got the correct IMEI and SN?
Well if your imei is intact what's the fuss ? stick to the newer base bands

Hi,
It's likely that when you updated, the EFS format changed. All you need to do is to update the Radio/Baseband.Modem of your device.
Since I'm new around here, I'm not allowed to post links. Try replacing the hxxp with http.
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289
See point number 2 of that post, download the EFS2 compatible modem and flash it with Odin.
