Hi Guys,
i was running with temasek's CM for a long time now.
Then i wanted to try out the Omega ROM and installed it. With this install i bricked my EFS partition. I had many tar.gz backups, so i restored it.
(Just unpacked it to /efs with a root explorer. After that i had to change "OFF" to "ON" in /efs/FactoyApps/Factorymode and it worked with the Stock Rom (flashed with Odin).
No Generic IMEI and i was able to phone someone.
But however, when i want to install ANY custom rom, i cant unlock my Simcard! I type in my Pin, but it wont unlock. The Pin-Screen wont go away.
Why? With Stockfrom (via Odin) it works without any problem.
what baseband in CM rom it was?

have you read the IMEI sticky thread in General > Sticky roll-up? If not, please do.
Omega bricks nothing. It is an EFS upgrade. Please read about it.

The Patched MG4 Modem is ONLY for people with Serial Number 0000000000000 who can no longer use Ariza patch! If your serial number is correct, do not use the patched modem.

When MG4 or newer comes out for your country, flash that by Odin too. I don't see you have a lot of choice tbf.

Its not weird really. Flashing mg4 rom changes efs so older modems cannot read it. That's why you can't get it to work

No need to wait just root your device and flash some good custom roms, like omega or something. Stock roms are good anyway. You wont regret rooting or flashing if you do it right. Trust me
I haved rooted stock rom. But i just unrooted and put same unrooted stock rom with mobile odin. Tried factory restart and cache clear.
Phone boots normaly and show network signal, but can't call or recive calls. Say "not registered". I tried to manualy choose operater but nothing.
My IMEI number is original but serial number is 000000.. When call myself from another phone it is not out service but S3 not show call.
Model GT-I9300
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband I9300XXELLA

First of all try unbackup EFS(in G-play there are some tools,i prefer K-Tool).If there is more issues try custom ROM with patched modem and patched kernel. If you prefer read this: post 1441 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48578725#post48578725

Does anybody alse now how to fix? Maybe modem or update?
Does flashing new version of stock rom will help? Is efs backup just for IMEI problems or can help with s/n 0000?
Any help?
why don't you try to just update your firmware to 4.3 (choose 4.3 stock roms) to quickly fix those issues.

Hello
My friend bought GS3 months ago in Arabic country with ICS 4.0.4 installed. When I saw the box, I found that the GS3 is a grey market product. It has Region Lock label written in Russian language on the box and the ROM is pre-rooted CWM Custom ROM
Now, Kies dose not upgrade this version and he wishes to have Arabic stock ROM 4.3 if possible. What are the safest steps to do?
- If I download and flash Arabic stock ROM, will I loose modem connectivity?
- Do I need to backup and restore EFS data if I flash stock ROM?
- Do I need root to restore EFS data/modem driver after flashing STOCK ROM?
- Should I flash custom ROM instead of Stock ROM?
I want a safe way, I don't wish to cause network/EFS loss to the device?
I read a lot but came to no conclusion.. please help

Kies shld have an emergency firmware feature. Try using it.
1. U will not. Just dun downgrade
2. If u aren't gg back to 4.1.2, dun bother. But recommended.
3. Yes.
4. Ur choice. If u wan bugless rom, go for stock rom. Many also say stock is one of the best.

If u are rly just tat scared to lose ur imei. Go kies and do the firmware recovery. U will get stock rom automatically.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Depends on the phone history on what will happen on upgrade to 4.3, sim lock may return or imei lost due to patched efs folder. No way to know until you get flash, so backup efs now.
4.1.2 EMG4 is when efs format changed, anything before this shouldn't cause too many issues.

Bump for me
Flash the full stock rom for your country with Odin then factory reset in recovery. If efs is not read by the stock rom then restore your efs backup.
No backup then you'll have to pay for a repair.

If your IMEI is 0049 or null, try to use a patched MG4 modem first. Revolutionary roms don't have modem in them so that can cause some issues occasionally.
Let me know if it works.

Hello There,
I think the problem is the rom itself, i advise you to degrade your phone to its stock rom/orig rom and find a better rom.

- I would recommend never to post imei anywhere
- If the imei matches then all's ok.
- Stock rom depends on the country. You can search on sammobile and flash with Odin. 4.3 not recommended if you like flashing roms.

I advise to flash patched modems
You should try 2
Before mg version and after mg version
To check work both efs versions
If you don't know about efs stuff I advice to read imei thread in the sticky. Good luck with flashing modems :good:

I advise to flash patched modems
You should try 2
Before mg version and after mg version
To check work both efs versions
If you don't know about efs stuff I advice to read imei thread in the sticky. Good luck with flashing modems :good:

Hi,
After flashing stock s3 rom my sim card is not being detected. i know the sim card works because i tried it on another phone and i have a feeling my efs file has been made corrupt as my imei has been completely changes to 0049xxxx. Also i cannot connect to any wifi network but theyre being found . ive looked everywhere and found no answer. Please help me on how i can fix it.
I'm guessing that you made no efs backup? Do your phone's cellular functions or wi-fi work while running a custom rom? What kind of GS3 do you own (i9300 or i9305?).

You cannot go backwards to 4.1 with out a efs v1 back up. Somewhere in 4.3 samsung updated it to v2.
Without a back up you can only use the latest 4.3 and upwards.
