Flashed this patched modem:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45038238&postcount=466
Now back to network
Also PLEASE BACKUP YOUR EFS!! BACK IT UP!! ASAP!!
I flashed a MG4 rom and after that the imei is changed. I do not have efs backup.
The IMEI has been changed to a new one and the mob is showing emergency calls and not registered on network.
The Serial Number has changed to 00000000000
I cannot make calls or text other than that the mob works ok.
The imei was 353xxxxxx and now it is 3591xxxxxx
Can anybody help?
Also the rom was sammy not a custom rom so i got no backup of EFS.
I tried using MG4 baseband but same error.
Ariza patch simply nulls the imei and hence not working for me.

If your rom comes with a modem, you'll need to reflash the patched one. Otherwise, no action to take.
Thanks alot!
I am glad that my device is back in life

Out of interest, was it simply from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45098088&postcount=476
You flashed?
Edit > I see you updated OP and flashed specific modem.
Yes i flashed the patched modem and the network is back online and up until now the phone seems pretty good and batteryl life is excellent.
Also I am on stock JB firmware for now.
I'm having the same problem. Did you flash modem by downloading and pasting into an sd card and then by using TWRP on your phone?
I've got the same issue, was running on stock 4.3 and flash a different stock rom on it , lost my imei and baseband now am stuck with no network , looked for solutions all round but non is working .. didn't back up my EFS too . Can anyone help with this ?

Depends what you mean by "different stock rom".
If you flashed backwards to 4.1.2 then your efs isn't damaged, it just can't be read because the encryption keys changed at 4.3. You cannot downgrade without an efs backup from 4.1.2. In that case you should be able to flash back to 4.3 and your efs will be ok.
You can also try kies emergency recovery. Depending on your os depends on which kies (2 or 3) to use.

Hey Guys,
So I had my usual SIM card working as usual on G4 stock 4.1.2 firmware. I later on flashed CM10.2 20130814 Nightly build after which my phone was stuck on Emergency Calls only. I flashed three different stock 4.1.2 official firmwares after that but nothing seemed to fix it. They recognised my SIM and carrier though they weren't able to make calls and whenever I tried to it gave me the error message "Not registered on Network".
It is a fully unlocked i9300. I would really like your guys help on this.
Questions go in the Q&A forum, report your post and ask for it to be moved.
Does your IMEI number in phone match the one under the battery?
Did you make a backup of your efs folder like all the guides recommend?
If your IMEI has changed and you don't have a backup then flashing the latest full stock via odin on your pc sometimes enables the partition to be read again.

Well, This is the Q&A section. Anyways, I didn't make a backup of EFS. I tried flashing stock as mentioned in the OP but it didn't prevail so what should be the next line of action? xD
Hah! Sorry, my browser took me back to q&a from general.
Does the IMEI match?
If not then you need a repair.
I am currently back to flashing another stock firmware so didn't check. If it doesn't match then what sort of repair would it need?

For anyone who finds this thread.
Problem: /efs partition format changed
The latest 4.1.2 UK (XXEMG4) and India (XXEMG5) ROM releases (Which come with MG4 and MG2 basebands respectively), actually change the format of efs.
If you have flashed a, XXEMG4/5 ROM at any point, you are now in a situation whereby only an MG4/2 baseband can read the IMEI in /efs. The new efs format is not backwards compatible with older basebands. Probably, all new basebands will be compatible so in time this issue should diminish I expect.
If you have ever flashed XXEMG4/5 ROM, to keep your IMEI working, you must:
Stay with the basebands MG4/2. You may flash other ROMs but must return to the MG4/2 baseband.
Restore your efs backup (taken before XXEMG4/5 ROM install) to use older basebands.
Please note, it is flashing the ROM that alters efs format, not the basebands themselves. You can flash the MG4 or 2 baseband safely on their own and return to an older baseband without issue.
You can download an MG2/4 baseband package HERE
Aroma installer, choose between MG2 and MG4 basebands
Basebands alone do not alter efs format
Backs up EFS in an uncompressed format (Use Root Explorer to restore)
Does NOT include RIL, works on AOSP and Sammy

NO it didn't work as i installed the latest firmware through odin, and then get OTA as well but it didnt solve the issue, then i installed the MK6 BTU firmware but it didnt work as well.
tired of installing the ROM's and Patches but non of them worked, is there any posibility to get it in working condition or should i use it as IPOD???
Take it to a repair centre and pay them to recode it, make sure it works on 4.3 firmware before you pay them.
Patches are a work around for modified efs problems, a corrupt or wiped efs can only be solved by professional repair.
I have an i9300 with a blank efs folder. The phone corrupted and was stuck in a boot loop. This happened when battery run out while file sharing was in progress via bluetooth to another android samsung. I flashed it with 4.22 android jelly bean immediately XXUFME3 but it remained stuck on boot loop, I never backedup efs file. Later found the original ROM although it comes up as custom rom, which is i9300XXEMB5_i9300OXAEMB5 but still no luck as it stuck in boot loop. My sister has the same identical phone both were purchased together in Dubai. I did factory reset etc, no luck still in boot loop.
I later gave it to a mobile shop who flashed it with a rom for free, didn't charge me because it came up as imei null/null and baseband unknown. The phone now boots and has Build number of IMM76D.I9300BUALE6 and is german language I believe. I had read some threads by now and I immediately rooted the phone and backed it up, but my efs folder is blank.
Last night I flashed the phone 2 times with i9300xxemb5 rom and rooted it and it still boot looped even factory reset or cache delete don't solve boot loop, Then I restored the working rom of build i9300BUALE6 from CWM and powered phone on and got a baseband of i9300XXEMB5 and Build of i9300BUALE6 also got an imei of 004999xxxxx0000/01 and the phone found the network and my efs folder which had been blank all this time was full of files. In my haste I realized the sim was not plugged in and removed battery, when I restarted with sim, baseband was gone and imei was null/null. I repeated my steps in hopes I could get this fluke opportunity but nothing yet. Was this a miracles I didn't seize by not backing up the efs folder?
My sister's phone is an identical model bought together with mine is,
AP:i9300xxemb5
CP:i9300xxemb5
CSC:i9300oxaemb5
So my question is I need the original stock rom for my sisters phone that won't get stuck in a boot loop on my phone
My phone is now
AP:i9300buale6
CP:unknown
CSC:i9300vfgale6
Also can this be fixed by backing up my sister's efs folder or backing up her phone and flashing it on my phone. I can't get warranty for this phone now since it has binary counter of 12, don't have proof of purchase and also I am not in Dubai but in Africa. What Rom file should I try to flash. Also because this is a custom rom I am not getting samsung serial port in device manager can't use NV writer. Any help is appreciated.
If you don't have an efs backup then you need a service centre, you cannot repair it. Trying to use another phone's efs folder won't work and is illegal in many countries.
Read the sticky on efs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289
If its a custom rom their is a very small chance that it included backup pf EFS .
Look for EFS tar file on phone .
I say slim chance and judged by the OP probably no chance .
004999xxxxx0000/0 that's just the generic non working IMEI .

Sorry to hijack this thread but I dropped my S3 i9300 on water and have the imei null /null and baseband unknown problem, therefore SIM cards are not recognized. Do you think my problem can be solved by doing something without taking it to samsung service? Meanwhile I ordered a SIM /SD tray replacement but my bet is it won't solve the problem.
Thank you.

hi from what you explained it seems that right now your phone has no baseband. One thing you can do to possibly recover your imei and network settings is to flash a stock rom that uses mg4 or mg2 baseband. use a rom from sammobile and flash with odin make sure you use a rom with an mg2 or mg4 baseband. good luck

A custom kernel has no connection with the lost of IMEI or it's a solution for the recovery of an IMEI. So no, no custom kernels will help you with your problem.
Either try ashraf's suggestion or ultimately bring it to a Samsung service center for repair.

I don't know about perseus kernel but I don't think it will help. your imei and efs foder was intact before flashing4.2.2. I understand that the problem began before flashing 4,2,2. but if you ever had a rom that used an mg4 or mg2 modem and then used an older modem your phone would lose its network connection and would probably display a generic imei number. if it says null usually that means it is corrupted or no modem is installed . either way if you send to service center you need to flash a stock rom and reset your flash counter . since some people have recovered their efs and imei by flashing newer modems or firm wares that use them why not try it before sending phone to service center

Thanks but you didn't read my first post. I did not flash any rom (or even root) before the problem, which started from dropping the phone on water...so I have no warranty left This means I can take the phone anyway I want (custom kernel, rooted) to samsung service cause they will charge me anywat.
But I think I will try to flash a rom like the other user sayd because I flashed the Perseus Kernel and the phone is now unstable and reboots randonly...
Cheers
my mistake that post was for the op of this thread
I don't care anymore that my original answer was
deemed not acceptable enough and warranted a second opinion. I am once and for all, going to put this nonsense to bed.
If you lost your imei because you submerged your phone in water it is a hardware issue. It is INCONCEIVABLE that flashing a rom, kernel or baseband will restore the imei. A SOFTWARE solution will NOT repair DAMAGED HARDWARE. This is obvious!
If your Blu ray player cannot read disks because the disk tray fell off, upgrading the laser driver wont help. This is exactly the same.
Depending which hardware failed, replacing the tray may help although given the symptoms, it seems much more likely that your radio stack is damaged. Take it somewhere to get it repaired and stop wasting time pretending software will fix your issue. It's IMPOSSIBLE

1) i'm on stock XXEMG5 and yours is MH1 which means yours is ahead of mine and how's it better or it's just region specific???
2)you are on MG2 baseband/modem does that means you also have to be restricted to MG2 baseband/modem only when flashing roms????
thanks in advance.....

I see you're still struggling to understand this.
2) If the ROM is MG (M = 2013, G = July) or Newer, the ROM changes EFS format. This means if you flash one of these ROMs without backing up your EFS, you are restricted to using an MG modem or newer as only Modems from July 2013 can read new EFS format. I'm really not sure how I can make this any simpler to understand.
However, if you flash the modem separately from the ROM, EFS is not changed. So for example, if you are on ME7 ROM, you can flash MG2 modem without affecting EFS.
I hope this is clear now.

Dear rootSU,
you've been very patient with me and i really appreciate your efforts at making me understand and i've understood a lot because of you only,but what puzzles me is that
1)this restriction is for those who've not backed up EFS whereas in my case i had in the very beginning only made an EFS backup.
2)and if i flash ME7 ROM then since am coming from MG5 to ME7 my imei would again be corrupt and i'll have to flash MG2 baseband...right??even if i have an EFS backup(EFS PRO won't restore my imei in this case despite a backup)?
thanks in advance
Hi guys , so i was having some problems with calls on my gs3 , (i was sending sms and atuff normally, but from yesterday till today i could make calls in the morning, i tried my moms phone and the carrier signas and status seems ok. so i tough it was a modem problem, i flashed "I9300UBEMH2_I9300UBEMH1_I9300UWHEMH1_HOME.tar.md5" from panama and the signal was OK . so i tried to reflash another modem and i got the "no sim card" error. tried a bunch of modems and none of them worked.
So now im flashing the stock one, but as far as i know it wont read my imei because of the panama was MG4 or MH1 it changed the efs format. But i will flash a mg4 modem with the stuck UBELL1 from movistar southamerica and see if it works .
My problem here is , can i flash an mg4 rom make a back up of the efs with ktools and restore the efs backup on a previous not mg4 rom? and it will read my emai ? (this is happening because i didn't made a back up of my original efs)
Also i was wondering, what will happen when i want to install a 4.2.2 again in the future? or a 4.3? i won't be able to do it since i need to use a mg4 modem to have signal? or can i back up a working efs with a mg4 rom and restore the efs back up on a stock not mg4?
#BTW my sg3 is still attached to movistar (is not unlocked)

This is already answered in the thread you said you read.
today i had some idea. But not im not sure about it . So here it is. I am wondering if its completely necesary to use mg4 modems forever on my device to get my imei readen. So is there any kind of method to take the v2 imei readen only for mg4 modems . and make it readable for another basebands modems? like ubell1 ? . i tried installing a 4.2.2 rom, then flashing the mg4 modem. once the imei got readen i made a efs backup with HCk tool , then i change rom and restore the mg4 efs backup . But i got nothing . the imei is not being read.
do you know if what im trying to do is possible? or maybe (as i said before) i will have to forever use mg4 modems on my device? .
with mg4 modems im not having problems is just that , it's a pain in the ass being changing of basebands everytime i want to flash a new rom.
You can only use mg2, mg4 or mh1. Basically any modem released since July. Stop living in the past

Yesterday I updated my i9300 to android 4.3
Baseband version I9300BUUGMJ3
Build number JSS15J.I9300XXUGMJ9
..and since then I haven't had any reception. My imei number, serial number, and everything else is same and still there, but I just can't get it to get reception again... When I go to my Mobile Networks, it says registered on network, but again, no reception. Then I tried installing the modem BUUGMJ3 with odin which didn't work. What can help? Stock firmware? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
currently experiencing the same issue mate. I can't seem to find a workaround/solution for this -__-
Is that base band supposed to work in your country? Find an modem later than EMGx, without a RIL, for your country and install that to test.

I've probably made a big mistake there, no it's meant for mine country, it's for the county near mine, Croatia, but I read somewhere that this doesn't matter.. :/
And by 'later than EMGx' I'm not sure what you mean, but I've flashed EMG4 modem which didn't seem to work.
Found something about flashing a previous modem and restoring your EFS folder, but I do not have my EFS folder backed up - I forgot to.
A few days ago I paid about $30 for a repair on my phone, I don't really want to send it off for repairs again, I really wonder if there is an fix to this
Follow the guides in general forum, stickies on how to flash back to 4.1.2 stock rom. Make sure it's at least EMG4 base band.

Yeah, about that...
first of all, sorry for bugging you so much..
but I downloaded the right stock firmware for my country, I9300XXEMG4_I9300BHTEMH1_I9300XXEMG4, but after I flash it via odin when the phone turns on it gets stuck in a loop showing the Samsung logo repeatedly...
Edit:
Okay, I managed to install the stock firmware 4.1.2 but it still is showing 'Emergency calls only', the modem is xxemg4...

but I downloaded the right stock firmware for my country, I9300XXEMG4_I9300BHTEMH1_I9300XXEMG4, but after I flash it via odin when the phone turns on it gets stuck in a loop showing the Samsung logo repeatedly...
Edit:
Okay, I managed to install the stock firmware 4.1.2 but it still is showing 'Emergency calls only', the modem is xxemg4...

how about your IMEI/Serial numbers? are they still the same before you downgrade and flashed the XEMG4 modem? mine are the same with SN/IMEI so I guess that's why it worked. I just took the risk cause I was really pissed experiencing the lag and the battery drain in 4.3.
Do factory reset from settings option in touch wiz, make sure the imei and serial number match the label under your battery.
If still no good then try another SIM in your phone, final steps would be restore efs backup then repair centre.

Well it's all the same as it used to be. Could it be that the modem I had before EMG4 changed the format of my efs folder?

Did a factory reset, imei, s/n same.
Android 4.1.2 EMG4 modem still no reception.
It seems that MGX modem has change ur IMEI from /efs1 to /efs2. MGX modem seems to support only 4.3 roms (due to some security issue).
It is not recommended,but u could flash an older rom with modem (get from www.sammobile.com) then restore an efs backup (if u did some) from /efs2 to /efs1

Ariza patch only works on older modems (efs v1 modems). So, that wont help.
You said you flashed the zuluman modems but.... did you flash the patched kernels too? You need the patched kernels for the patched modems to work. I don't know why, but that's what zuluman says (according to him, the kernel has a modem signature check and it wont work if the modem was modified).

Here are all the patched modems and kernels made by zuluman.
https://drive.google.com/folderview...&usp=sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8
In my opinion you should flash the latest official firmware and download the appropiate modem and kernel from that google drive.
You can download the latest official firmware from the general section of this forum.
Good luck.
Remember to always have an efs backup!
Great thanks!

Flashing the Modem + Kernal after rooting the Phone works for me. I have flashed it using CWM.
Thanks once again.

After this i had no signal. ...
When i found this thread i was so happy. BUT!!!
i downloaded all the modem and kernel files from the google drive and wanted to flash them (Patched_XXUGMK6_xxx.zip) with cwm recovery (latest version).
whenever i want to do this, i get the following message and the update aborts: "E:Can't copy META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary"

hmm...
can nobody help me? ...
sorry for spamming, but i've got a problem without a phone
greetz,
Carpe.
You said your imei & serial is ok but you cannot register to network. Have you paid your bills?
But if it's corrupted serial number.
Try this guide.
thx for your answer.
Payed my bills? ... uuuuuups!
back to topic: i've flashed my phone back to 4.1.2 for the moment. Network seems to work. ... i'll try some things and give a feedback here. ...
You have to flash an Android 4.3 modem for it to work I think but as your on 4.1.2 now I guess it doesn't matter anymore

please read the stickies in general sections and search first, I think half of the >1000 threads here in Q&A section are filled with the same question

I hope you have an efs backup. if not follow the steps in the linked thread.
btw which 4.1.2 did you flash. when you flash 4.3 rom efs will change to v2 so you need a rom with efs v2 baseband (everything newer than xeemg4)

yeah I know but which one (the build number) something like XXELLA or XXEMG4...? you can see it in settings menu
in fact if you have flashed a firmware older than XXEMG4 then also its baseband is flashed, and these old basebands are not compatible with efs v2 which has been flashed through your sammy 4.3 update.
This could PROBABLY have caused your imei problem and you would only have to flash a baseband newer than XXEMG4 to PROBABLY solve it. or your efs is corrupt than you should follow the steps in the stickies
