Try to get the original stock ROM to flash look here or get help from them about details, that's the normal process to recover from such problems. You should also remove any USIM passwords for your SIM card, best to seek help in such threads.

yes they can be resolved, read this as to why you get this problem and this as to how to solve it. unfortunately, I do not own a pantech vega phone or have acess to one, so you need to get help from the link i gave earlier.

issues
still the same issue here, i have given this mobile to a mobile expert, he tried to flash many things through touch custom recovery , like SK telecom original jelly bean flash file for korean s3 variant in my pantech vega a850L . but no progress. its been a while i got no success, i mean to say that more than one and half month past and i am stuck with it. i am posting the screen shots now. anYOne can atleast tell me that is it resolvable with riff box if its a hardware issue. You can see in last screen shot in which NO SIGNAL issues still exist.
imei
Guys also let me know, is there any particular way to flash anything like baseband and custom roms, i mean i did wipe cache delvik and similar stuff. but yeah i am totally new to all of these stuff .. and let me tell you one more thing that in my previous white Pantech vega a850L , when i used to press *#06# it shows me "IMEI" as"----proper imei numbers------" but now in this black pantech vega a850L when i press *#06# , it show something like this >> "MEID" as blank . nothing at all . You can see in this attached screenshot .
According to your problem and history it seemed Baseband CHip error,
but as a last resort you may try with some re-partition/re-format function from Custom Recovery.
Otherwise final try with JTAG Method from some professional
Good Luck!
Note:- Before JTAG batter to open your phone and check internal H/W for water/other damages
Haven't used a pantech, but doesn't it have its OWN stock ROM? why do you need to flash korean s3 firmware?
If stock fails, try to install an aosp rom, like CM - these work even with no imei, it also resolves not-registering problemos.

yeah but i am not very much of this JTAg , riffbox, i mean to say that is it related only to repair dead boot . wel in my case i am able to proceed further from booting and all that. but i am not sure what to do now, i tried to purchase this JTag today but voila so much expensive for a little piece of riffbox for a client like me. anyhow if riffbox is the only solution i will definetly go for it, and hey i am not kidding, please tell me this repartition format criteria? , i mean is this something to do custom recovery in the boot, last time it had a skin of some SK telecom custom firmware then in custom recovery i chose the option factory reset just like to install a new rom then i did the job i think , i mean after selecting that option my phone only got stuck with further proceed to nothing except boot and logo . then i have to install a stock rom from pdl download mentioned in the boot bios .but after installing stock jelly bean , still same unknown imei and unknown baseband.

This is at your own risk,
by now, I think you should have installed custom recovery and root?
The following is original kernel baseband for A830L , flashable zip,

the first impression that i took after reading your post here, i really misunderstood that how am i not gonna be so lucky. well i read many post in vietenamese forums regarding baseband files, but got no success, but the link which u provided i tried today and tried to flash first empty baseband and then the real one, it first show unknown baseband in the boot command screen when i flashed empty baseband zip file but when i went for real baseband zip file it show baseband versions stuff in boot command screen like this
IM-A850L Modem S1233211.Tp25
9615A-CEFWMAZM-3.0.114007
made by dvha79_ddt

but still not so sure why unknown baseband after reboot. anyhow i flashed Xperia Mod ROM and when i again check for *#06# . it shows blank now as imei "blank nothing " you can see attached pick.
The guy who almost did expert on this mobile for a month , he arranged for rifbox but he was not very much expert so he give up, and now i am still stuck, not knowing what kind of software or even hardware issue is this? but please read this baseband for me as if how to flash baseband files specially post#1 and post#14

I figure out your problem and recommend you installing a stock rom.BINX for Vega pantech, if nothing improved, let try to fix errors about baseband and IMEI by this tut: http://techhub24.org/backup-imei-fix-imei-errors-sky-vega-pantech/
after a year some1 replied, anyhow some other way i managed to get back imei and then sold it out in the market
please tell, how did you get your imei back?

Phone: LG P500h - ANDROID v 2.2.1 buildnumber FRG83.
Country: Brazil
Anyway, what I know is that i have to downgrade it to 2.2 in order to be able to root. I've looked through a bunch of tutorials on a bunch of websites but there are a few questions i have about the process that isn't answered anywhere i've looked.
Apparently downgrading requires me to get a stock ROM from LG, there is a topic here for that but it does not have the right ROM for my country, i tried a couple codes but they all got me 404.
Can I just flash any standard ROM from, US maybe, will it work?
And if yes, how do I flash it? Apparently you can do that by booting into recovery mode, but to get there you need it to be rooted which I can't do.
I've read about KDZ and downloaded that but... it crashes a lot in my PC (whenever i try the Read Device) it gives me error and closes the program (windows program not responding dialog).
I'm afraid it might crash in the middle of it if i try flashing and that would brick my device.
Is there a simple way to flash a new ROM? Is that the first thing I have to do in order to get a custom ROM say Ubuntdroid? It says I need a new recovery... but for that I need to downgrade first? It's a lot to do... and I don't really get the order in which I should do it all in...
Can somebody post me a little "do this, then do that, then finally do that" so that I can understand it all finally?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for long post, was trying to be as informative as possible.
This shows what happens when I try reading the phone on KDZ... also a little part showing that I got my device to be recognized by windows...
also disabled the LGE modem on device manager, read that if I don't it'll get bricked.
Well it won't let me link the image so... just paste the name together.

1. Find a suitable v2.2 stock ROM for flashing (link)
2. Use KDZ to flash it (I am not aware of another tool capable of doing that). Try doing that on a PC running Windows XP (important - that's where you're stuck now and I guess you're using Windows 7).
3. Root your phone - search for "z4root" on Market, install it.
4. Install Custom recovery, which will replace your current (stock) recovery mode (link - you may need to create an account on another forum in order to download).
5. Using Custom recovery you can now install any custom ROM and create nandroid backups to restore your phone to a certain (working) state.
You will have to use KDZ again if you ever want to flash a stock ROM, also losing the custom recovery. But you will have no reason to do that, except if you need to take your phone to some warranty repairs.
Good luck!
NEW PROBLEM: About step 1... i finally found a way to get my country's rom, but... it's.. the same thats on my device right now, it says V10a_02 and thats the same on my phone (the kdz read phone tells me that) so... won't I just be flashing the same 2.2.1 again?
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500H/ABRABK/V10A_02/V10A_02.kdz <---- the rom the topic tells me to get.
How do I know what version of android is in that rom? and if i can't, can you link me to a rom that does?
I found one from another country that the guy said is 2.2... but... will it work if i flash that one? does it HAVE to be for my country? also my model is p500h (the h) is it different from the p500 (different as in flashing p500 without h roms on it will kill it?)
As for flashing it...
I think maybe a computer with win xp will do the trick for kdz.
i've found this post today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944881
is it better to use that than kdz? theres no replies on topic saying "hey it worked" so i'm a little worried, but apart from a few errors it seems to work on my win 7....
i guess the reply would be "i only know kdz, do it with kdz" but i thought i might ask...
Indeed, I have not tried that method and therefore I can't recommend it. At least KDZ is successfully tested. If you are patient enough to wait for some replies either here or in that topic, you may find out if it works. I would recommend it only if you have no other choice, like if you're unable to try KDZ on an XP machine.
In the mean time, I remembered that a newer version of Custom recovery is available (v1.2) - here. But you still need to download a file and read the tutorial from that other forum I mentioned in the previous post.
what about the first part of the post? i think i might have added that after you replied i don't know... asking about the rom i found if it isn't the same i have on my phone. and asking if i can just add another country's one...

First backup your data, then download a factory ROM, it doesn't matter which version u download, what matters is the version. Make sure that it's 2.2 and not 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. Follow all the below steps without skippin any, no matter how simple or stupid they are.
Link for shipped ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479
Now download KDZ updater and uncompress it
http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
Charge your battery to almost full state (I'm not sure, but it can be reason if phone doesn't start)
Turn phone off somehow (remove battery etc.)
Install drivers properly
Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments
Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site
Disable LGE Virtual Modem. In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.
Press and keep pressed "Volume up"+"Return" and connect USB cable to phone
Yellow screen with text emergency mode should appeared
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Has administrator).
Select Type : 3GQCT (I have one report that CDMA mod works too)
Select PhoneMode : DIAG (in case of fail try EMERGENCY, and as last chance use CS_EMERGENCY)
I Recommend do not switch phone off. There was some people, which done it and after they was not be able to turn it on again. If flashing failed, just select some another mode and try it again, again, try shake/connect disconnect, again, again....
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the first step
Press Launch software update
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Now Root it via Z4root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
Then install custom recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483
Then download n flash any ROM of your choice, I wud sugget install Void or LOL.
Edit :- By the time I replied, many have already replied. Anyways you can check my reply too :-D
Mithun.
"it doesn't matter which version u download, what matters is the version."
does that mean it doesn't matter what country or operator the rom is for, as long as it is android version 2.2?
i have one from portugal (not my country) and that one is made for P500 mine is P500H... if that makes a difference i don't know, but i do know that rom is android 2.2. can i flash that one?
i also have one that i got from that topic following the instructions of putting my serial number, it linked me to a rom V10A_02... on KDZ when i try to read my device it says i have V10A_02 too. isn't that the same one i have now? with android 2.2.1? if it is it's very pointless to flash the same rom already in it.
any way to check?
because that is my last doubt ;p

As far as my knowledge goes, the LG P500h you have is the same phone as the P500, only branded for Telus. The hardware should be identical, therefore you may use any ROM designed for the P500 family.
The only thing you may miss if you install a ROM not customized for a Brasil (or South America) network operator is the internet acces point name, thus rendering your phone unable to acces the internet trough its data service connection, but only trough WiFi. Nevertheless, the phone's APN can be configured manually, all you need are the correct settings from your mobile operator and you're good to go.
Ok since you guys told me i can go ahead and flash any country ROM i just did and now my device burst into flames and then the flames consumed my apartment.
ok, not. it worked too well actually, i did the kdz procedure on my win 7 anyway, despite the errors when reading device info, and it took like, 1 minute, rebooted, took like 2 minutes on the android screen then it came back, with all my data still there... i thought it didn't do anything but... its now version 2.2
i tried z4root, worked ... got the superuser app and.... i'm happy ^^ thaaaanks!
anyway about the custom recovery thing..
i'm going to install the one in that post you gave me...
but i read something about the best one being clockwork something...
shouldn't i go ahead and install that one?
or can i do everything i need with this one you guys linked?

Glad that it worked Install the Amon_RA's recovery!!! Many ROM's for OO won't support clock work I suppose. Amon RA's recovery is neat, I've been using that from the time I had an HTC tattoo.

You can do anything you need with ThunderG. Now that version 1.2 supports backup and restore of ext4 partitons (a feature you don't need if you don't plan on installing a custom ROM... but you will, eventually ), it is complete.
Moreover, in ClockworkMod's first topic says: "This recovery will not allow you to flash every ZIP file". ThunderG does, if you choose to allow flashing of unsigned zip files. Sometimes this is useful.
Peeeeeerfect
Recovery installed, LOL ROM installed, all fast smooth and error-free.
no more screen touch lag, it's soooooo much faster now, overclocked, i have yet to test my emulators but i can only guess they're gonna be at least 150% better lol.
thank you all very much for taking the time to help me ^^
ONE LAST QUESTION: I PLAN ON BUYING A NEW SD CARD, JUST PLUG IT IN AND IT'LL FORMAT THEN CREATE THE NEEDED FILES THEN I INSTALL STUFF BACK ON IT, SIMPLE AS THAT?
Simple as that =D
Although there are some criteria with the sd card or you'll get unmounting problems.
Use a class 4 or higher card
format with fat32
I've never officially tried this method but its apparently supposed to help
allocation unit size: 64kb when you're formatting

This is old and very complicated way to root your phone, follow my new tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
First of all, this tutorial is mine only 5%, all I did is find all of the files
needed to perform tutorial (because original links are broken), and also I will try to
explain the steps little better, to make the process much faster, for all of you that are
still trying to find a way to root your phone..
It took me 5 hours to find all of the files and go trough with all of this, let's try to
make it a process that takes only 1 hour..
I used this to root my HDC Galaxy S3 G9300 LTE MTK6577 - Android 4.1.1
Also, this is just the old version, "yuweng" made a new one, here is the link;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764
If his new version does not work for you, than you can download files of little more explained old version;
http://www62.zippyshare.com/v/30037369/file.html
P.S.
There are 3 files that I have not uploaded, because they have working links in original tutorial
and they are too big in size;
1) jdk-7u17-nb-7_3-windows-i586.exe
2) Android-Kitchen-0.223.zip
3) dsixda_cygwin_install.zip

You just need to make a backup of your system and send it to me, or just post it here, and I will root it for you and send it back to you..
Here is a simple guide for that..
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
And remember I would need full rom, all of the parts, and not only just a recovery like shown in example..
When you are done, just zip the foldr where you have created your backup and upload it on www.bitupload.com
After that it should not take me more then 20 minutes to ROOT it all for you and send it back to you..
Regards,
Emrah.

Of course.. follow my tutorial, or just backup your system with SP flash tool, and then use mtk droid root and tools to unpack backed up rom file, while unpacking mtk droid root and tools will ask you if you want to create cwm recovery from it, click yes, then just install that recovery image to the phone via sp flash tool, that is all I am going to tell you.. and anyway, why are you so lazy.. just follow my tutorial and you can root your phone on that way too.. what do you want from me? do you want me to do it for you? -.-"
p.s.
( if you want use mtk droid root and tools v2.4.3)

If you do not know what I am talking about, then if you start playing with that you will brick your phone.. so I suggest you not to do that.. Use your phone as it is..
There is no one click solution for this, I am expirianced user, and I had to work on this for one or two days to root jelly bean on mt6577.. so it is not something for begginers.. do not touch that..

Use this: http://blog.morrison.nl/how-to-backup-and-install-cwm-on-your-no-1-mini-pad-rom/
You can see in that tutorial that they have said that you should copy the hex code after the cache image ( http://blog.morrison.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Capture9.png ), but on that way you will not get userdata and chace from your phone, and it is recomended that you get that too.. Soo take the code after "NODL_EMTPOOL" or if that can't go, use the code after "NODL_FAT"..
When you are done with that tutorial place this file on your SD card: http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/70088402/file.html
Get in your CWM recovery on your phone, make at least 2 or 3 full backups via clockworkmod recovery (for each of these backups you will need less then one Gb space on your SD card (probabbly you will need at least 4 Gb SD card), and make sure your battery is 100% full), and then install that file from your SD card.. System backup and Rooting done!
P.S.
ROM file you create while you follow that first tutorial on that first link is very important, that is your STOCK system backup, save that somewhere safe on your computer, becouse maybe you will need it if your phone ends up in boot loop.. Also save these clockworkmod backups on your computer too..
It is recomended that even after you root your phone and have all of these backups, then you can connect your phone to the PC, open MTK droid root and tools, and then do a FULL backup with cache and userdata from there too..
If you do everything as I told you now, you will keep your phone 100% safe, and be done with rooting process in maybe 3 hours.. if you miss just one step, you will most probabblly brick your phone, and then you can throw it in garbage..
Also do not ask me to explain anything anymore.. use your head for a little bit!
Good luck,
Emrah.

If you are asking if this root option will work for you, I dont know, becouse it depends on your Android version.. Also, my suggestion for you is to follow my explanation that I provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44099755&postcount=13
There is big chance for you to get it to work that way, but even if you fail and something goes wrong, you can reinstall your system again..

Okay, here is what you need to do in order to fix your phone, follow ONLY THE FIRST PART of this tutorial to back up your system first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
After that when you back up your system, do not root it.. insted of rooting it return your phone to factory defaults.
When you return your phone to factory defaults, your camera maybe should start working, if not.. ohh well, you are out of luck when it comes to your camera, I told you to first back up your phone because after trying to root your phone on many occasions and then after trying to restore the phone to factory defaults you could soft brick your phone. (even though it might not even happen do the backup just in case).
Okay so after you have backed up your phone, and restored it to factory defaults, you should follow this tutorial from beggining to the end: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
You need to back up your phone again! And then after you back it up for the second time you will find the way to root your phone on the bottom of the tutorial, it is pretty easy solution actually.. Instructions are under "rooting process" .. read the part for "* MT6575/MT6577 devices with Jelly Bean" ..
At earlier times when I had that model of phone that you have, I didnt know how to do all of this,
But anyway, if you follow everything 100% as I have described, you will most probablly even fix your camera, and you will definetlly be able to root your phone easily.
Remember DO NOT skip any, and I mean ANY of these steps, because if you do you might brick your phone and there is no fix for that since there is no original firmware for your model out there, meaning DO THE BACKUPS!!!
Good luck man!
P.S.
After you are done with everything, you could save your IMEI numbers and use this instructions to change your imei number to all zeros: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW5lSVeMC4g
After that do the third backup of your system, and then start a new thread on this forum called * ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FOR e1920_v77_zlh_fwvga * , upload that firmware on maybe zippyupload.com and put the links in your thread.
You will be the first guy to put originall firmware for this model on the internet.
Just as I helped you, you will be helping many others with that! And ofcourse they will be thankful for it.
Regards,
Emrah.
Hi,
I tried installing this on my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5839i but I got a Status 7 error message : it was made for the S5830i so I changed deleted the assert(...) part in the "META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script". Now I have the same error but with "set_metadata_recursive : some changes failed". I first rooted my phone and then did everything that I needed to do.
Do you know what to do ?
Thank you.

Are you stock in boot loop ( Samsung splash screen ) at the moment or you have access to your stock Android OS ? ( probably reverting back ?)
S5839i and S5830i are almost have identical hardware infrastructure, so status 7 is not due to any incompatible hardware requirement . It is mostly caused by use of wrong instructions ( i.e: wrong "updater-script" you did use ) and other stuff you haven't followed accordingly . Please follow my instruction on post#297 and read up till you get to post#307 for proof of some customer's testimony on our subject in question ( flashing Base band a.k.a; Modem part is required from Totoro device over Odin 3.07 separately. However they might be some consequences, which i have explained in post 307).
Couple of questions , before we start troubleshooting though :
Did you come from stock firmware , before CM11 installation?
what is your CSC/PDA/MODEM parts , your regional/Country Stock firmware's preference ?
Have you lost your IMEI number that is resided inside your EFS partition ? ( Typing the "*#06#" into your dialer,shows noting >> it was wiped out ?? )
Can you make call /SMS/ receive calls ?

Hi,
first thank you for your answer.
At first I think I was stuck into a bootloop so I did a recovery and now it's working again.
I don't really know what you want me to do. I looked at your post and I checked the integrity of the file, it's correct but the stock version is working so I don't really know why I must do this things (I might be dumb saying that but I'm new to this kind of stuff).
I came from the stock firmware, I don't know what you mean by Country preferences or CSC/PDA/MODEM but I bought it from Orange (France), the version of the Ace is S5839iBVLK2 (kernel : 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1) and the IMEI is still present. I can still call and receive calls.

CM11 (23/07/2014 build or later) has a different formatting infrastructure ( MTD/yaffs2) in comparison to your typical stock Android GB - based / custom Roms based on stock firmware ( RFS Format).
So all of your internal partitions for instance ( /System;/Boot;/Recovery;/data;/cache) will be transformed from RFS to what I did mention. Thus compatible MTD CWM , preferably v6.0.5.3-Cooperve.zip is advised to get it right ( links and instructions found in post in question ).
After completing all of the proper wipe and formatting your /system partition as I instructed in post in question, You can not enter your new OS .
You need to flash MODEM part from Totoro device ( it is possible , because of similar hardware drivers both Modems use) to counter the bug inside CM11. Therefore you will be granted permission to enter your new OS , after flashing only that part over your Odin3 .

As for CSC/MODEM/PDA parts >> theses are very important information for troubleshooting, since they are varied and some of them might cause problems in some of the custom Roms i tested. ( check this ongoing troubleshooting session;similar case; Loss of IMEI; post#8 specially explained in details the counter measure procedures ( clean installation methods) for all of the errors we probably received due to incorrect way of installing CM11/nightly build.
This is not a case for you though, because you did revert back to your saved restore point ( not so many people have a foresight to get their Nandroid back up serious ). Also make sure to back up your EFS partition through galaxy toolbox;obtainable from play store; before further tinkering. (save the highlight file, some place safe inside your PC : /sdcard/GalaxyToolbox/"EFSpart.img.SAVE" )

PDA == build version of the firmware

CSC == consumer software customization and it is specified to geographical region and carriers. CSC contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS for your service provider.

That's some interesting stuff I didn't know, thank you.
So I used CWM 5.0.2.8 to be able to use the version 6.0.5.3, i then did "perform data/wipe + wipe cache partition >> go to mount options > format /system" and installed the ROM, it works correctly without any SIM card. I tried to use with my SIM card and I seem to be stuck at "unlocking SIM card" screen.
I now you said that I needed to flash the MODERN part from Totoro with ODIN but I don't quite get it. How am I supposed to do this ?
@allsman, yes you are almost there mate. Just download Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve from one of our sticky or well written topics available to you in this section or related sub-forums (like this one for instance ). Install appropriate drivers for your PC; in your device settings ; developer section; tick Debugging mode >> probably already selected though<< .( this post is also quite informative for possible PC connectivity issues , or again acquire your drivers package from legitimate topics).
Power off your Phone.
Get into "Download mode" by pressing Vol(+) + Vol(-) + Power Keys.
press volume up
Open Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve.exe
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
Make sure that your phone is detected in "ID:COM" area.
put only MODEM file you acquired into it's place >> press START! (reboot and Factory reset might be selected by default ; this is OK though ; just DO NOT select Re-partition option for this particular flashing process).
: You may choose "MODEM_S5360_DDLK1.tar.md5" OR your specific region file .. really doesn't matter ,,,
Do not Remove the USB Cable, until the flashing process is completed.
You will be rebooted to your OS eventually .

Thank you, I followed everything I used the "MODEM_S5360_XXMK1.tar.md5" it didn't work (no reboot and still blocked at the unlock SIM screen) so I used "MODEM_S5360_DDLK1.tar.md5" and it still doesn't work ...
@allsman, this is one of the reason behind the fact why I am asking CSC/MODEM/PDA of each individual . Really there is no one universal instruction for each device.
Uploading bunch of s5360 Modems for you, hopefully one of them get it to work ....
Op of Rom in his respected Topic ; under current issues, stated Quote "SIM unlock doesn't work (you must remove your SIM lock in another device/ROM)" Unquote. So I was wandering s5839i may need some special treatment Contrary to typical s5830i/C/M to pass the current bug issue lol,,

@allsman, OK , I might overlook some of the Modem parts which is compatible with your phone's carrier from Totoro available to us : Source 1 ; Source 2 . Search/Request a flash able version you did find fancy in related sub-forums . In the mean time I am thinking about "tassve" devices as well, because their MODEM's driver is almost similar . So for now , get to work and find the latest totoro base band preferably compatible with your carrier for future testing .
These Modem parts compatible with Orange : S5839IBVLD3 ; S5839IBVLH1 ; S5839IBVLK2
These Modem parts are from free France : might be compatible, find flash able version for them ,, share your result please.

You can get the whole non flash able stock file (S5360XXLH2 ; S5360XXLK3 must be mentioned inside your package) from sammobile database or any place you would find appropriate. Then go to another topic I made for splitfus2 modification >>post#9<<( supports s5360 split ) , get it done by yourself .
P.s: My bandwidth is so limited , sorry i can't download it for split . give it shot though,, This is the fastest way to create your own Modem part.

Hi,
I'm sorry for the lack of answer I was away from this phone this past couple of days.
So I tried every modem parts you said, none worked.
I still don't know why, after the flash the phone isn't restarting and when I insert my SIM card it just stays stuck after typing the SIM code ...
@allsman, Just for the last resort to get pass this bug on your s5839i : Do all of your back up ; flash wipe package for s5830i ( your base band and region compatible ) , your phone will boot up with s5830i logo , then do all of the previous procedure and report back.

Humm ,, your kernel is 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1 and it is not a secure kernel . Blame must lie with your regional restriction caused by MODEM/CSC restricted parts for your Region i guess . Lets have our back up /EFS back up/Nandroid and try the whole new set of upgraded ( 2014 ) from Germany XXLK3 . wipe package and the rest of process is the same.

Hi,
so my Nandroid backup doesn't seem to work anymore so I just falshed the whole thing and still no changes, I tried some MODEM parts I used for the 1st flash and it's the same ...
I just don't know what to do, aside from throwing my phone away ^^'
P.S. : I tried to "revert" it to the original firmware but it was stuck in a bootloop, in the opposite I had no problem with the S5830i firmware.

Did you use boot loader and re-partition option as I instructed or you only flashed wipe package 3 parts over Odin?Do you still have access to Download mode and recovery ?

Oh right, I'm stupid I didn't use this options but that's only if I want to revert to the official firmware, right ?
I don't need to do this with the S5830i firmware (I'd guess I need to but I'm not sure) ?
Hello People
Again, I'm with problems with my S3 since the one time decided to test a custom ROM which turned out to screw my IMEI and got to it back working with BOX in repair service.
I n order to see if the BOX fix did actually solve my signal problem, it was suggested to me in a previous post that I flash the same stock rom via ODIN. Before that, I backed up current EFS as well.
Unfortunately, it seems the problem wasn't entirely solved. Same as before: both my IMEI and S/N are untouched (S/N does not coincide with S/N in the back of phone) and though it says I have a full signal, I'm not registered in network and i can't make or receive calls, sms, etc. Even though I restored the EFS folder, nothing happens.
I really wish not to go back to repair service again. What else can I do about this? Many thanks and excuse my rant. Hope I was thorough and clear on the problem. I also have a EFSv2_basebands_opt4.zip file I downloaded somewhere in xda . Would that help?
Many thanks.

Thanks tallman43! I'll try that. Also, I noticed now that the EFS folder is EMPTY :/. and the backup .tar I made with CWM says it's 0 bytes? wtf?
still, in phone info, imei and s/n are there. weird?

Your recommendation worked like a charm. My signal is up and running normally. MANY THANKS tallman43.
Lastly, even if I sometime I decide to try out a custom ROM (unlikely at the moment, but who knows?), I still have to flash patched kernel&modem? or in case of factory reset (I will be selling the phone soon) ?That custom really messed up my phone...

I would still like to solve the problem at its roots: to fix the "not registered in network" problem whenever factory reset or stock ROM flash via odin is done. That is simply not normal. I might be selling the phone soon and the new user won't most probably know he/she would have to apply a patched kernel or etc.. ( let alone about rooting the phone).
Basically, bring the phone back to it's original sound state before I tried out the custom ROM. What can I do about that?
Hope I'm not being annoying.. just trying to get to the bottom of things

There is nothing you can do without your original efs backup.Only a service repair can fix it.

Understood. I think I have the original EFS in my SD, though I tried replacing it once and it didn't work out... I suppose I'll have to make do. Thanks for everything man
Flashing modem with Ariza patch was bad idea. Your efs folder is screwed up now and you are addicted to constantly flash this dirty workaround.
If anyone have problems with registering in network please check your device serial number first. It must be the same as on the sticker under battery. If it's not then type *#0011# and check info under IMEI CERT. If there is FAIL info then you should use any box ie Z3X to correct phone's serial number. It takes only few minutes and is cheap. It's better long-term way than patching and permanently destroying your efs informations.
If you have backup then you should flash normal modem and restore original efs partition. Then find any GSM service center with box and tell them to fix serial number. It shouldn't cost more then 5-10 dollars.

I have never flashed the Ariza patch nor have I even mentioned it on my previous posts explaining the problem. Fixing the s/n issue is indeed adviseable, but paying to correct s/n using box here where I live is ASTRONOMICALLY expensive. They should answer for never having fixed it, but they won't. Here is a hell of a lot more than 5-10 dollars, unfortunately.
Believe me , I'm no happier in applying this sorry fix every time I want to factory reset or upgrade, etc; it's the only option I have left at the moment.
Those files you have flashed, I mean kernel and modem are patched with Ariza's method. It is called Ariza patch and it is latest solution you should take to resurrect your phone because it is a destructive one.
Sorry to hear that you can't repair it as it should be especially if you want to sell this device.

May i ask a few questions about your problem?
Which version were you using when you desided to use a custom rom?
Was your phone ever rooted before installing a custom rom (when you were on official)
Did you upgrade your phone before? (Official via ota or odin)

I was on 4.2.2 leaked version ROM some guy installed at a repair service some time ago when the phone belonged to my mother. I was actually rooted using the CF AutoRoot method, with Philz CWM recovery. I decided to change to a custom 4.3 without having changed first to a stock 4.3.
The problem came when, within the custom ROM's aroma installer, I ticked an option to upgrade the modem to some build I can't remember now and my signal became screwed up. I informed this in the developer's custom rom discussion thread about the issue to which he replied that the problem was that the EFS folder tried to convert from v1 to v2 and failed (this was when I learned of the whole efs version folder change since build XXX (don't remember).
I download a stock unbranded 4.3 ROM and flashed it via ODIN, believing that would solve the issue; it didn't. Finally, I became desperate and took it to a repair service where they used box. Apparently, late did I notice s/n was not the same as the one in the back of phone. I'm guessing that would solve the problem? I don't know.
i am sorry for your loss . i wish you had all that info you learned before a try and fail. now that your imei number is a clon number, and once a box tempers with that you cant go back even if you have your orijinal efs folder or backup. you should always have that 2 patched modem and kernel files on your sd card just incase. you can use custom 4.3 with the patched files and get a signal but you will always have some lags after some time because of the kernel. and lucky you samsung stopped updating s3 officially because patched files are only for 4.3. if you dont have a desire to use custom 4.4.4 kitkat roms then you are good to go and when it comes to sell the device, the price will be much lower then an original s3.

Well, actually, IMEI didn't get cloned; of that I'm certain. IMEI is just the same as it was before I took it for the first time to repair service. It was the S/N that got changed somehow. Should I get them to correct the S/N, and use the original EFS folder (I found it, i think), would that correct all problems?
S/N number is the same with imei number as when you dial *#06# . And as i said before you cant go back even if you have your original efs folder. Dial *#06# and check your imei number from an " imei check site " you can find on google search. That will tell you what i mean.
There are: IMEI, device serial number and Android serial number. First two numbers are on the sticker in battery Bay. They must be correct because are used to authorize IMEI certificate.
Samsung's IMEI begins from 35.....
Serial number usually from RF......
If you see serial number in HEX format in phone's info section, something like f1abcadef1.. than it is android not device serial number and this mean troubles with authorize SIM card in operator network, even if it shows proper signal power.
I don't know there is any secret code to display serial number but there is plenty of phone's info apps in playstore which displays this alphanumeric string.

Hey guys,
Sorry in advance for what is no doubt something that's came up a few times in the past (as is clearly evident by the posts). I've spent a long time trying to get around the issues with this thing so hopefully I can explain what I've done so far which might help.
So, basically -
My brother had an S3. The screen broke (glass only) and he asked me to repair it. This was a few months ago. Inbetween he moved to using a Windows phone and had the S3 sitting around until he eventually decided to hand me it to repair a couple of days ago.
Now, the phone was working flawlessly prior to him turning it off and switching over to the Windows phone. The S3 sat dormant for a few months, battery out.
When I went to turn it on to test the screen and buttons to ensure that's the only fault, it wouldn't get past the boot screen.
No huge deal there.
Upon checking in recovery it was unable to mount the EFS partition. I managed to get round that.
It still wouldn't boot, so I flashed a new ROM and it booted up fine however was in "Factory mode" with IMEI starting 0049.
I've done a fair amount of searching and came to a few conclusions but essentially :
How I don't know but his EFS folder was competely corrupt and essentially contained few files, none of which were IMEI related. I have no clue how this has happened but it has.
I've managed to get the phone working ALMOST flawlessly by restoring a stock EFS backup IMG using kTool, I HAVE the phone's IMEI and serial which are printed on the phone itself. Only issue now is that the phone can't connect to any networks - because the IMEI is a default.
So, I've dug around in the stock EFS backup IMG that I was able to find (which has got the phone working great, minus mobile networks) and found that the IMEI folder contained a file "mps_code.dat". Upon opening this file it's basically empty. I assume this is because it's a stock EFS I located.
Does anyone have any clue how I can input the IMEI into this file? I tried to decompile the IMG, type it into the file and save, then recompile the IMG however kTool doesn't recognise the newly created IMG file and crashes, then restores the phone. Is there a specific tool I should be using to make the IMG and can someone root into their "mpd_code.dat" and tell me the format that it needs to be in? (I don't need or want any IMEI numbers, just the format that the file is. Just open it in a text editor through Root Explorer (root\efs\imei) and star out the IMEI if you can).
Just to clarify before anyone jumps on it - I'm NOT looking for the file(s) OR the IMEI numbers on anyones phone with that request. Simply the format in which it should be in. I'm simply trying to put the IMEI for the phone ONTO the phone so it'll recognise networks and work as it should. Everything else is absolutely fine now.
So just to clarify the options I've boiled down to :
Recompile the efs.img with the correct IMEI within - if someone can tell me how that'd be great - then restore it on kTool.
OR
Edit the on-phone mps_code.dat with the correct IMEI but I need the format (if someone could peek at theirs that'd be great).
Thank you in advance all and sorry for the story! If I manage to get this to work I'll upload a tutorial with all the relevent files required which I know will help a lot of people.
Cheers
Mine mps_code.dat have 3 letters in it i-e 'TNL' which is csc i think. And imei is in efs1 and efs2 partition you can see in pit analysis thread google it if you don't know anout this thread.
Only thing which you can do is give phone to repair shop they have boxes and tools which can write imei. Or take backup of efs1 efs2 and efs of other phone and restore it in your phone.you do backup/restore using partition backup app in playstore by wanam.
Thanks for your reply. I will try to locate someone else I know with an S3 and pull their EFS - hopefully something will happen that's of benefit.
In the meantime, I'll focus on this as hard as I can to get it sorted. I've managed to go from having the IMEI reading as a random 0049 one, to "Null/Null" which means it HAS been written to (or does in my mind), just with nothing rather than the correct number.
If I get anywhere I'll update this thread, and if im successful in the repair I'll create a How-To based on what I did.
Cheers
I can repair your device. Had the same problem with my mothers phone.
The problem is that samsung changed the style of the efs format years ago and the S3 was falling in this time.
So if you need help, i can help.

I had the same problem days ago and I couldn't connect to sim network.
What I did was flash stock rom using odin and then a custom modem and a custom kernel I found in the internet. At the end it gave me a normal imei number (not the [email protected]%) but it wasn't my original imei... nevertheless it can connect now without any issues .

Hey bro,
Do you remember specifically what ROM, kernel and modem you flashed? Ive tried this with no luck so interested in trying your combination.

Ok guys this is exactly what I did:
1- backup all your data.
2- download a stock 4.3 jellybean rom from sammobile (I used the Trinidad and Tobago version because I live in Mexico but that shouldn't matter), autoroot cf for i9300 4.3 from their website and twrp 2.8 recovery, again from their website.
3- download this especial kernel and this modem:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tky93zds14kt1hz/Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip.zip?dl=0
4- Proceed to flash stock 4.3 rom using odin 3.07.
5- After stock rom is installed flash the root cf file and recovery tar using odin.
6- Now that you have a rooted stock rom with custom recovery proceed to flash both the especial kernel zip and the modem zip using twrp recovery.
7- You should now be able to connect network.
Good luck.

Thanks bro, will try that in the morning!
Hey mate,
I started the process of this today, using a stock samsung FW that I updated to using Kies.
Unfortunately the end result is the same, 0049 IMEI number.
What I'll do is I'll download the T&T 4.3 from Sammobile and see if that makes any difference.
Thanks again,

Hey hey,
Right unfortunately all of the above doesnt solve any issues im having with the IMEI.
What I'm ultimately trying to do is find out a way to fix this, without having to use third-party hardware or a samsung service station.
The real reason is that I don't think the average user should have to go that extent to fix this - it's ultimately Samsung's fault.
Android is designed to be customisable allowing users to go up/down versions as they please (provided it's compatible with the hardware of their phone).
Just a thought -
is there any possible way to "bake" the old style EFS into a newer rom?

The above procedure didn't work. I have managed to get the IMEI to change from 0049 to NULL/NULL and back again at will using a blank EFS restore file that I've got, however can't figure out what and how to change the files WITHIN the EFS restore to the correct IMEI etc.
I'll continue my search and if I come across anything, I'll let you all know on here and create a How-To.
Cheers
Hey all - just a quick question on this.
Does anyone know how to modify the server to which a program points to check for user credits etc? There's clear reason I'm asking for this, however for obvious reasons I won't elaborate further right now.
Cheers

I can repair your device. Had the same problem with my mothers phone.
The problem is that samsung changed the style of the efs format years ago and the S3 was falling in this time.
So if you need help, i can help.
