Because MG4 roms and higher change your efs partition format if you stick above MG4 then your efs wil stay the same, where as if you go below, you will have to repair it and same goes if you wanna flash above MG4
Where can I find a list with mg4 roms.on tsar I found only one.....by the way sorry for the inconvenient can anyone move my bad post to the proper place on forum sorry again

when I flash this 'official' ROM, 4.2.2 leaked official XXUFME7
it changes the IMEI to 0049990xxx...,
and so I get only emergency calls allowed for the phone...
the rest looks ok, but I reverted to last 4.1.2 -
I am on O2 monthly contract - is that a problem?
otherwise, even though it lost phone capability, everything else seemed cool...
any idea around this without having to fiddle trying to restore the IMEI back to original...
when I flash back the last official released 4.1.2, the IMEI corrects itself...
a guru at O2 finds it weird... LOL! and said O2 does not support flashing with Odin, only through Kies...
Please Read one of the hundred other threads saying that you need to use mg4 modem since the latest released mg4 4.1.2 rewrites the efs partition.

If I understand well to successfully get the modem working with the 4.2.2 official Samsung leak, from
KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_1314436_REV00_u ser_low_ship.tar.md5
to
I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_I9300XXUFME7_HOME.tar.md 5
one needs the additional step of flashing the modem file
xxemg4.zip
please kindly confirm...
thanks

I sorted it...
this is how:
1. rename I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_I9300XXUFME7_HOME.tar.md5 without .md5 extension i.e.
I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_I9300XXUFME7_HOME.tar
2. in Linux delete modem.bin from the resulting .tar archive
3. flash, with Odin 3.04, I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_I9300XXUFME7_HOME.tar (that had modem.bin removed)
This will keep the correct modem.bin of KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_1314436_REV00_u ser_low_ship.tar.md5
and so solves the problem...
and all this can be done without rooting...

Hi All,
In Windows delete modem.bin from the resulting .tar archive using 7zip program. I just deleted the modem from this rom and its working perfectly. Thank you all for the Help. God bless you guys. Take care.
ok, iw got this,, ;
1. Flashed 4,2,2 without backuping EFS and got that imei or efc corrupted.
2. Flased back to original stock 4.1.2 and its still the same,,
So NOW:
1. Do i have to flash back to 4.2.2 to get this modem thingy working or i can try to do the same with 4.1.2 ?
dont have an UART cable to solve this.. usb only wont work this time,.. so need another soluton..
Hi,
We have a sticky thread all about IMEI / EFS issues. This is because if you do a search here now, you'll find literally hundreds of threads all about the same thing.
Please go to:
general > Sticky roll-up thread > "IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff"
... have a read. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask them in that thread. We set it up to try and keep the forum tidy.
Thanks

Heh.. my bad...
ok, any tips on making uart cable? i have micro usb port for soldering, have 560K resistor..
I'm using a galaxy s3 gt i9300, android version 4.1.2, baseband version I9300XXEMB6. I currently had installed a custom rom ''Sotmax_Ultimate_Stock_V23_XXUFME7_HD_AR'' I managed to install it but when the network service provider requested the handset configuration (picture shown in the attachment) i clicked ok but then another pop up message appears saying ''temporary error occured in application. please try again later'' (picture shown in the attachment) I thought it was probably the custom rom so i reinstalled the stock rom of galaxy S3 but still the problem is there so until now i have no network connections on my phone .....so if there is anything i can do please help
Just go to your provider website, get the apn settings and enter them manually

i dont think it will work because the network connection is telling me ''Emergency calls only'' and the attachment shows the picture of the device's status
Looks like corrupt imei.....have you had the MG4 modem on your phone?

to tell you the truth i am still new to this stuff about android but when i installed the sotmax v23 romi did select the stock modem instead of selecting no changes to be made on the modem
Try ariza patch . Google it. You need to be rooted and busy box installed

You need to provide details of what modem you are on.....I'd your imei starts 0049.....and it looks like it does, then you have probably at some time had one of the new format modems, so you need that (probably MG4) to get your imei back, unless you have a back up of it which I doubt.
