The i9300 firmware only works on i9300. Do not flash on other model numbers. Have you searched xda for your device model number? There's a box at the top of each page to do this. Not having your model, we cant really advise.

hello, this is Ahmed from Egypt.
note : i had iphone 4 before and am new in android.
i got samsung galaxy s3 GT-i9300 1 year ago , i tried to update it OTA but it had lag on 4.1.2 so i rooted it ( i thought rooting make it better and faster ) but i didn't really find any changes.
so i used Odin3 3.07 to update my phone to android 4.2.2 leaked ( i didnt know that there is custom rom i thought all are official like apple ios)
now it's 4.2.2 : had alot of lags ! battery drain , SD card 32GB kingstone don't really work i got slow bug and camera photoes don't open on the SDcard... etc of unlimited freezing and bugs.
i downloaded EGY firmware 4.1.2 from : samsung-updates website
EGY-I9300XXEMF6-20130816232718
but when i tried to flash my phone to this ROM , once it's done , the phone stuck on the logo screen and kept rebooting !!
i really don't know what to do i think i missed something up ,
the 4.2.2 firmware is I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_OXA -- i made flash back to it
please help me! and post a guide or tutorial to understand everything about basic android flashing methods and definitions and cautions i have to take before doing this.
and i read on some website about ESF files is it like .SHSH blobs in iphone ?
thanks in advance !

Hello
Here is a simpe fix for lost imei
Just use odin to flash to xxemg4
I just figured out that the modem in leaked version of 4.2.2 replaces the imei
If you still want to have the new android flash it with mobile odin and deselect modem so the imei wont be replaced with 0049....
Read general > sticky roll-up thread.
All this is covered in the imei thread

Glad the fix is that simple looks like rootSU has been leading us up the garden path with all these guides .

my sister flashed a rom on her i9300 and didn't backup the efs folder. and left me with the mess.
i flashed a stock 4.0.4 rom on it but the imei is still 0049....
i tried to fix it on windows xp and w7.
there are a lot of solutions out there but none of them worked for me.
so far i tried:
1) Ariza patch
2) i created a text document using sgs3 nv item generator to use with the different recommended software.
for this to work i had to connect my s3 as a usb com port but that didn't really work because the *#7284# dial command did nothing. i used the SManager to run a script that is supposed to do the same thing. the phone did show up in the device manager, but as a samsung mobile usb modem. using USBDeview i saw that it was listed as port COM9 (COM18 on XP), and most of the guides out there show the connection as COM1.
maybe as a result the following programs that were recommended to change the nv items did not work. maybe it was for different reasons:
-Maui META 3g V6 - could not connect to phone. it only offered to connect to COM8 which was also listed as samsung mobile usb modem but was shown in USBDeview as inactive whereas the COM9 was active.
-NV items reader/writer - i picked the samsung mobile usb modem port (COM18) and connected to it, but once i tried to read or write the program would reply "failed... phone does not answer"
-CdmaDevTerm v.2 - couldn't understand how to work it and found no guides. i fiddles around trying to write an IMEI # but it kept getting stuck.
-cdma workshop 2.7 - managed to connect to the port but when i clicked the read button it replied "failed... phone does not answer" and i didn't get the phone's info. it still gave me this information:
first nv item:0
last nv item: 3994
-qpst - i couldn't even pick the port i wanted. only COM1, which was no help.
anyone has an idea what i did wrong?
thanks,
shahar.
Look at the imei thread in general > sticky roll-up. Please don't post duplicate threads. 10 times a day this is posted.
Ariza patch isn't even ANYTHING to do with this. Suggest you stop and read before you brick your device with multiple solutions.
Qpst - not for this phone
Cdma - not this phone
Imei can be fixed in mobile phone shop for £20. Please read the existing thread.

thanks. i did try to read as much as i could before asking.
i read the imei thread, though i didn't understand a lot.
are you sure qpst doesn't work? this guy gave me the wrong impression then - {www} youtube(dot)com/watch?v=_d2Nsb23ycw[/url]
so no help here, huh?...

Qpst is not for the i9300. It doesn't have anything qualcomm related inside. There are many other versions of the s3 that do. Just not ours.
Flash latest rom mg4 or later to ensure you can read efs v2. If that fails send for repair. These are not new answers. Reading is understanding. Following videos on youtube is blindly jumping off a cliff. Read the sticky threads (as I suggest) and if you don't understand anything in a particular thread ASK in that thread.
All the answers are in that thread. There are no other answers. Read. Learn. Understand. Stay away from YouTube. This is my advice to you

No problem. Just to be clear, never follow advice for other models of the s3. Only specifically the i9300. All the other models are completely different and advice from those phones may brick yours

which 4.1.2 build did you use, if it was a bad/corrupted one, the radios might have been a bit messed up, causing your sim card and network to malfunction
i guss i found the problem here when i updated to jelly bean 4.3 i used modem , bl ,csc files for the first time but when i go back to 4.1.2 jelly bean i only use pda !!!
any solution
any answer please
4.3 uses an EFSv2 modem. I think you flashed a ROM that has an EFSv1 modem. Try flash a stock rom with XXEMG4 or later version
