yes .. but why ?
IMEI - removed
Sorry, remove your imei number from the post... I was asking in case your EFS had corrupted. Maybe I should have been a bit more clear lol.
If you go in About > Status, check if the IMEI shows up.
When you flashed the phone, did it also update your radio? What is the baseband version?
Edit and delete that emei!! That's for you only ;-)

YES IMEI is showing over there
dun know abt Radio ... and are u asking about baseband ver. before or now ?
now it is I9100XXKL1
Why dont you try different modems for your country or a custom ROM that has your countries CSC also.
And you've tried already to turn off airplane mode? If not, try that and just let me know if it's giving you Emergency Only or just not connecting to the network at all. Were you using it OK before? Downgrade your radio if ever
reboot couple of times and if you rebooted while charging then remove charger and reboot
Thxx all .. Problem was solved .. Jst changed my modem and it was all set ..

Hello, i bought a SGS3 and it's got 0049XX IMEI, the person who sold it to me told me he got this while trying to UNLOCK the phone, now there's no GSM signal, is there a way to recover the original IMEI or at least be able to make phone calls with the 0049XX IMEI.
Also does this mean that the phone is still locked ?? because while unlocking it he lost the IMEI so i assume the unlocking process wasn't succesful, and does this mean that if the phone is still locked it will be impossible to unlock (because i think that the unlocking applications(like those in the market) need the IMEI to unlock no? )

It will be unlocked since corrupting the EFS is a very good way to unlock the phone
Solutions exist for fixing the IMEI but no solution is 100% at the moment, the IMEI is signed in the EFS on the i9300 (and newer Android phones) and the current methods patch the modem to bypass the certificate, which is lame since once you update the firmware the modem patch is lost and your IMEI will return to 0049...
This means that even if i lost the EFS i can still use my phone normaly ? , and do you have a link where i can find how to fix it?

You can in some countries if they have not blacklisted 0049...
None of the current solutions for the i9300 are free, they come with unlocking/flashing boxes such as z3x or spt.

Returned the phone to the person who sold it to me and bought a brand new galaxy s3 today , the phone was a "demo live unit" apparently those demos don't have GSM antennas so even if the IMEI was restored the phone won't read sim cards.
Beware while buying used phones or from eBay !!, if instead of the triangle where we see signal bars you have a crossed circle then the S3 you have dosen't have GSM antenna and can't be repaired.
@spocky
Hi mate, Im also in the same situation: imei unknown. Could it be possible to upload the first image I made with efs pro and give it a glimpse?
I have been struggling with this for 4 days.
Thanks a lot in advance.

just flash with XXEMG4 firmware..custom or stock,,,.....i m having same prob....but this firmware causes this problem..and also itself this firmware is solution for now......just flash this firmware.......it might help....it works for me...
Hi, I've got an i9300 like 8 months ago, it was from a carrier "Claro", from Costa Rica (but not locked), I flashed a Poland 4.1.1 I think it was XXLIB, then I upgraded to 4.1.2, and then I had to flash again to 4.1.2 but with a different rom XXEKC, everything was fine
Two days ago my internet icon was gone, I didn't change anything, today I called my op to check the problem, they sent me an apn config, which I accepted, nothing solved, so I tried to switch to GSM only, and my phone stopped working I can make emergency calls only, my sim works fine on other phones, It's not connecting to 3G neighter. My imei is the same to the one in the sticker, and my SN is not 000000.
Every thread I read was about wrong imei or empty SN, and after a flashing, in my case it stopped working sudenly, I already tried to hard reset and flash another stock rom.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance

It's not available in any place, but I am downloading a rom for another operator in my country, actually the operator I am using right now, not the one who sold the phone, could it be an imei block? it's second hand but I've used it for 6 months and the problem started yesterday as I received the apn config after calling my operator
if the imei is blocked then your carrier should know so contact them
U can download the the official stock rom from sammobile. com . And flash it on your phone. Please make sure u select the correct country . This might help u.

Sorry may be I'm wrong but sounds to me like a network lock. Does it ask for network pin after restarting the device?

No, it just says emergency only in the status bar, and says "not registered on network" when trying to make a call
ADDED: I just called the original operator, they say the first owner of the phone doesn't have any pending payments, so it's there is no imei lock due to non-payment, however I have a chinese phone, and I would not explain due to xda rules but the chinese phone would not connect when I make it "look similar" to my s3. It's not reported as stolen nieghter, it just happened as I asked my operator for help with the internet access and received and apn config.

EFS folder is unique for each phone. It stores IMEI number and other relevant information about it.
There is no way to duplicate it from another unit, logically i mean, because it will be right it. A duplicate from other phone. And the operator can ban your's from registering in their network anytime.

My idea was to buy a motherboard and transfer the folder and discard the mobo instead of exchanging the entire mobo as I don't want to harm anythinng inside, but it sounds that exchanging the mobo is the only way right? BTW Im not totally sure if this is an efs/imei problem, I am the third owner of this phone and internet stopped working for 2 days and when I changed from "3G only" to "3G/GSM", it stopped working at all

I flashed WanamLite v6.8. After flashing I lost calling facility.
later I realized my IMEI was changed. I was kinda of hopeless. Tried whatever I could have tried for. At last I gave up. I unrooted and made binary number back to 0 and flashed stock firmware. Still I didn't find anything working. I gave my i9300 at service centre. Got it repaired. Thanks for asking.
I updated my S3 to I9300UBEMH2 which is the official rom for my country. I came from XXEMG4 (I didn't have signal with this firmware). I thought upgrading would fix the Cannot register to Network problem but it didn't. It's strange as this firmware is the stock for my country. My IMEI and SN are OK. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Usual is
Wrong APN settings .
or
Wrong Modem Wrong CSC.

is ubemh2 released after xxemg4? if not, that is a problem with the efs! and as suggested above 1st you need to check apn settings.

APN and Modem are correct. I really don't understand what is the problem damn phone.
Sometime your device will give a generic IMEI, it can't be used
Compare the IMEI in the status and IMEI in the back of your phone after removing the battery.
You can try Archie's emergency zip. It will change your modem to MG4 without changing the RIL, remember to backup first

My IMEI is correct. That's why I don't understand whats the problem. Thanks
as you can see MG4 and MH2 have different modems, so when you pass from MG4 to MH2 the modem was changed and something went wrong.
Have you checked the SIM card in another phone?
Maybe there is something wrong with it.
And BTW, do you have an EFS backup?

regardless if the firmware came ota or he flashed it himself with odin. op states imei is correct and apn is also correct. that probably means the serial number is wrong. marracing, have a look under the battery and see if serial number matches the one in your phone settings. if not than that is why you cant connect to network.

The serial number matches with the one under the battery. This is very strange. I don't know what else to do.
have you tried to reset the apn to default? if you did that already than you need to speak with your carrier, maybe you are not registered on their network because of an issue on their end. if still cannot resolve than take the phone to a service center. good luck
When I first bought the phone (bought it in the US) it came with some German apps (one called Bild is the only one I remember). It has something to do with this issue?
Thanks!
Still can't register to network. Maybe it's blacklisted?
Hi,
I'm unable to make call because of not registred on network problem (my phone is G925I)

I recently updated my firmware to 6.0.1 and found out the GSM option is not available and cannot be registered on any available network. I didnt make a backup of the working firmware. I downgraded to 5.1.1. and now see the GSM option but still cannot connect to the gsm network. I checked the IMEI number it is fine but when I type #*0011#, I see IMEI STATUS:NG. I am not sure what NG stands for. Could you help me please as I am sitting with a phone that cannot make calls and receive sms.
Thank you in advance.

The only thing i can suggest is download samsung phone info app from play store. Go to CSC, check what the origional CSC was. Find and download and flash back to the original CSC. Theres not much you can do with lost or corrupted efs. The same happened to me when i flashed my nandroid backup. I had not backed up efs but after flashing origional stock my imei was repaired. Good luck keep me updated
Or one other thing...flash a branded firmware of the network you use with PIT. The PIT might fix the efs partition.
