Hello everyone! I just bought a new S3 under contract with Orange,It does not have the brickbug firmware so all is good. However in relation to the rom changing efs partition format i have a question that i couldn't find an aswer for. I tried flashing the XXEMG4 and newer roms but they would not do anything to my phone except giving me emergency calls...however my phone works with older firmware and basebands but not with the new ones.. Could this be because it is sim-locked? and somehow my efs remains unchanged? or did i get it wrong?
RECAP: the phone works only with older firmware and basebands but not with new (efs changing) roms...giving me weird imei and emergency calls on newer roms etc,basically all the problems that people experience AFTER flash MG roms and trying to go back to older.

Hi guys ,
I've flashed a new stock ROM to my sgs3 and IMEI got corrupted , I've already flashed Samsung phones 100s of times and it never happened but now it did.
anyways ,
I think I have some kind of international version , phone model is GT-I9300 .
IMEI shows the generic 00 IMEI.
my serial number(S/N , not IMEI) was good at first but then tried to flash an older stock ROM and now it's all zeros.
Please help me guys , I'm pretty desperate... spend more than 6 hours yesterday (and another 3 hours now )of trying to fix this and still without any success so please don't think I'm just asking here and too lazy to google it.
any help will be deeply appreciated.

Well what modem are you using. Please ensure you are using XXEMG4 or above modem.
Read the efs 'know this stuff' thread, it may not fix your problem if you didn't back up your efs folder first -but it contains the reason for your problem and the only answers.

Hello,recently I updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300 from Android 4.1 to the original Android 4.3.My phone has no root of something like that.When I boot for the first time with the new version of android,it says i don't insert the micro-sim card in the phone.I take the sim and insert it back.I reboot it but nothing.I can't make or receive any call of any sms.If i go to phone status there is no IMEI or something like that.Any idee?
