[Q] no service after installing ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys
I had CM10 and all worked fine.
I wanted to change to a different ROM and wiped EVERYTHING and installed MIUI ROM. I didnt liked it at all and switched to Pardus HD RoM
™ FINAL 4.1.2 ReMastered (12.09.13) - I noticed it did something with my modem during installation.
I didnt liked it too - and installed Omega v48.1 (4.2.2) which I think I do like.
BUT....
I noticed I dont have signal.
I do have WIFI. I checked my IMEI and it is OK but serial number is 000000000
I tried ARIZA patch but it didnt worked.
I tried to install a different modem - no help.
i tried to Install stock rom - I cant. installation fail.
going back to CM10 is ok but no signal, IMEI is 0049 and serial is unknown.
Please help me gain a signal again.

PLEASE I BEG YOU, read the sticky threads. Read general > sticky roll-up > imei /efs.
This has all been asked before. This has all been answered before. Same post 15 times a day. Its getting ridiculous

Are you even on the right baseband? Mg4? Did you try the pre-patched baseband by zuluman linked in the ariza thread? If so, send your device for repair. All covered in the thread!

Its all documented. If you're not willing to put the effort to find the fix, even when I told you exactly where it was, then no one is going to spoon feed you. Want to be spoon fed? Join an android help forum. This is a developers forum and everyone here who wants help is expected to want to learn and be able to follow instructions. If this isn't you, you're in the wrong forum.
The problem with sone people is they expect "flash this" as an answer and are in too much of a rush to read. They skim things or don't bother reading properly.
Fact is, if you'd have read my thread before flashing roms, your phone would still work. If you had followed my thread now, you would understand and if you'd followed my directions properly, you'd have a working phone. But this is too much for the impatient.
Basically, don't flash your phone if you can't be bothered to understand why it broke or how to fix it

and last thing
i know you tired from answering the same thing over and over again.
but if so many people asking it again and again - it means something.
maybe the info is confusing, maybe it is not clear enough
and maybe you can just take a deep breath and just help instead of behaving like this.
im a manager of a forum too... i know what you mean... but when i see a person really in a trouble and confused - i help him.
and yes.... i know the search in this thread... try you to search zuluman in this thread and find an answer.

Yep cwm recovery flash. You cant have MA anything thogh. The link I gave is MG4. You cannot go older than MG2....
There is also another post in that thread where someone else claims to have patched an MH1 baseband. Its later than the post I gave you the link to.... I forget his name. Only a few pages after

ok... thanks...
its good i saw your link to the MG...
so i installed it in recovery mode. after installing it - rebooted... and now -
imei: unknown
serial number is long number - i guess it is ok.
no signal - before that i had a signal bar but no registered to a carrier.
now i have a circle and when going to mobile networks - i get message: insert sim card. (my sim is inserted)

Do you have any EFS backup (from preferably before flashing Pardus)? or at least before flashing Ariza patch initially?
If not, best bet is to flash latest stock official MG4 ROM (or newer) completely unroot (resetting flash counter etc) and take to a mobile repair shop. Any will do. They will be able to re-write your EFS partition for v ery little money (£20 UK price) and then you can start again and have no serial / IMEI issues.
I think in your case this is the easiest thing to do.
Although, try maybe flash standard MG4 modem from my imei therad (without patch) to see if serial stays and IMEI comes back. Or the MH1 linked later in ariza thread.

i have a friend that have a cell lab.
i will go to him tomorrow and fix this.
i dont want patches and stuff... he rooted my phone before and he will fix it for me...
thanks anyway...

S3 Won't start, no-led or start-up screen

Hello,
After rooting my phone I wanted to go to the recovery menu to delete all data on the phone.
So I shut down the phone and used the buttons to go the the recovery menu, when the screen appears it was there for 0,5 seconds and then I saw some text (Don't know what it was). I was not able to do anything so I decided to pull out the battery.
After waiting a while I wanted to turn the phone back on but it didn't do anything.
No led, no screen nothing, no communication with the computer.
Battery was 100% loaded.
How can this happend?
Is there something that I can do?
Thankss
No details posted crystal ball cannot see what model phone what firmware or what root method .Do you know ???
Usual is user error failing to read the instructions .

Put your battery in. Plug the usb cable in. If no led comes on at this stage, you need a new motherboard

Nothing to do with this forum why don't you ask the forum that gave you this method that has bricked your phone .
Suggest you flash with Philz recovery from Android Original Development .
That fails then flash your stock rom via Odin and try again .

Thanks for the information, i'm going to read the threads.
They're not really going to help you now. Your phone exhibits the symptoms of full sds.
Send it for repair if you still have warranty.

Yeah I know but in the future.
Is it by my fault that the phone is broken ?
That I do something wrong or is the software corrupted?

Ultimately its samsungs fault for having faulty firmware on the emmc, but it certainly could have been partially your fault for taking a patched device and flashing it with an unpatched component. Without knowing exactly what you flashed/ recovery version etc its hard to say

When you flash stuff from a forum that has just copied bits and pieces its hard to know what went wrong .
However best response is to tell Samsung that it failed to boot one morning and you have read on the web about the emmc problem .
I have my phone back so now i'm going to try to root it again.
It's kernelversion 3.0.31 - 1314436
I'm going to use the XDA manual and rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407407
Is this a good kernelversion? Not that my phone will fail again.
Thanks!
// EDIT:
Succesfully rooted / flashed my Phone .

You are contradicting yourself here. If your IMEI was 0049 then you did have an EFS / IMEI problem. My thread explains WHY and also WHAT you must do to keep your IMEI correct, so it answers all your questions.

[Q] How to get custom recovery on 4.3 (MJ9)

I am on the official 4.3 MJ9 version. After I rooted my device I tried to install S4 revolution rom from recovery. But it always kept showing "signature verification Failed"error message. Then I downloaded Mobile Odin and flashed the rom through it. Now my problem is that whenever I try to flash a mod it always shows me the "signature verification Failed"error message. So, I am guessing it might be happening as I have not installed any custom recovery. So, Can anyone tell me How to install a custom recovery and which one will work on 4.3?
