Hi, here's the first time I'm posting here, I'm having a big problem with my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 recently buyed. It's unlocked and cames with ICS 4.0.4 and I updated via Odin to 4.2.2 (XXUFME7 version)... I got the problem of "Not registered on network" and getting the message "Only emergency calls". I've tried everithing I found in the web, Ariza Patch primarily and in both ways (via CWM Recovery and via App), this did not help, made it worse, I had problems with my IMEI, but I recovered installing the XXEMG4 baseband. Note that I did not backup EFS folder because as a official ROM stock, I thought there would not be a trouble, but yes, I was a novice at this. So, I've tried EVERYTHING, I've installed a lot of ROMs (4.0.4, 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 the one I have right now) and I still having the network problem, I don't understand because I have my IMEI well (35XXX) and the serial number in "Settings > About" I think it's good because is alphanumeric but something that caught my attention is that Galaxsim Unlock app marks it as 000000, I don't know if this is a problem, I tried that app too but just to test, because as I said, my phone is unlocked and in that app also marks as unlocked.
I don't know what to do. Hope you can help me.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks!

3 options.
1) Send for repair (best)
2) Wait for Ariza patch to be updated (who knows when?)
3) Try Zuluman patch in Ariza thread (lots of reading)

Hey guys, I'm in desperate need of some assistance here.
I have an international Galaxy S3 i9300, rooted and with CWM.
I flashed Criskelos XXDLH8 ROM yesterday, and I followed the instructions to the dot.
The flash seemed to be problem free.
However, once the phone booted and i was on the new ROM, i tried to make a call, but I kept getting an error message saying "not registered on network".
I instantly freaked out, and wiped my phone+cache, and flashed stock Samsung ICS (XAALE8) via Odin.
The phone booted normally into the stock ICS. But instead of seeing signal bars on the status bar, all I can see now is just a circle with a line through it . :crying:
I did some research on the net, and didn't really find anything to help me, which is why I'm here, seeking ANY help from you guys.
I'm freaked out guys! Any assistance would be SO appreciated! thank you!
don't panic
go settings >wireless and networks more settings > access point names
make sure you have something in there
mine says Vodacom ( internet)
look up apn for your area.
otherwise you can try flashing a different modem for your region or even try another region from here

Just restored my EFS folder from a backup i made.. no luck.. hmm..
My sim card works on my spare phone, so thats not the problem.. do u think it might be an issue with my sim card slot?
I mean, i didnt physically drop the phone or anything, this issue seems to have originated after flashing that custom ROM...
Thanks anyways for your suggestions mate, appreciate everything I really hope someone can help me out here, im kinda lost..Sigh
Im also encountering the same proble. But instead, i have network signal (there are signal bars), but i am un able to send/receive messages and calls. I still have the same IMEI number but my Serial Number became 00000000.

hey dude,
i tried pretty much every software fix i could find.. but no luck i returned the phone and got it replaced. Apparently, there was an issue with the radio on the motherboard.
Goodluck mate!

Are you sure the firmware is suitable for your model for your phone's factory? There are at least three regions of producing Galaxy S3 International version. Some final product made in Vietnam and Korea has a lot of problems and need to be changed to the board made in China due to software problem. You should try using the "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" in the Samsung KIES 2.5 because it will download the latest official firmware according to your model and serial number and it will wipe your phone at the same time.

I tried to repair using the firmware update and initialization, but I could not find exactly where it is. I could reach a pop-up window saying that if my phone had a problem it would be listed in this window... Not sure if I am doing it correctly.
Do you have any tutorial link/post where I can find the proper instructions for it? I am familiar with odin, but not kies...

You can find this function in your Samsung KIES 2.5 which is the software to be installed in your computer. Then you will see the top bar, one of them is Tools and you will find the function in the Tools menu.

It sounds very much like a locked phone that was unlocked in a suboptimal way
Unless you have the original EFS (on which you might try to do a cleaner unlock) you will be "condemned" to always need a patched modem.
The short story is that network locking is done in a protected/checksumed database in the EFS partition and some older unlocks were not even attempting to keep the database "clean" - they were forcing a flag there but since there was some other check at a later time you need a special "patch" in the GSM modem code - that is located in a different partition and might be a little different from one country/carrier to another. Unfortunately the modem is (usually) updated with major ROM updates, so you have now lost that patch - but you can take a look below for a fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
The bottom line is that (unless you restore original EFS and do a very clean unlock) you will always have to re-apply the modem after you program a new full ROM!
Hello,
Below is what I wrote in the Stock Official Firmwares thread.
I just un-rooted & flashed my GS3 to the latest stock ROM (v4.1.2). Everything is working absolutely fine but unfortunately I have one problem, I can no longer make calls or send messages. When I try to call an error/message comes up saying "Not registered on network". I only have the option "Emergency calls only".
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue?
edit: My simcard does work in a different phone and when I had v4.0.4 it also work perfectly.

Since then I have recovered/restored my full Nandroid backup to the point where my simcard/phone used to work perfectly normally (which is v4.0.4) and for what ever unfortunate reason this issue is still existent .
Can anyone please help me fix my issue?
Thanks!
Could it be something relating to the CSC?
I downloaded the "CSC Select" app from Google Play and from what I can see there is no CSC selected, although at the top it says Sales Code: EUR.
I did some research and found that XSA is the CSC for Australia, but it's not on the list to choose from on the "CSC Select" app.
How would I go about installing XSA to my phone?

reunlock your phone with galaxsim unlock from xda (not google play version) and forget temporary patchs your phone will be unlocked forever.

Usual .
Check you have entered correct network APN settings .Or correct CSC .
Check you have a modem /change modem.
Check IMEI is correct if not restore your backed up EFS folder .

Thanks for the replies!
I used the "Ariza Patch" as Quimicax recommended and now everything is back to normal and working :victory: .

I have Stock room + rooted
Hi,
I purchased a I9100 secondhand online, the previous owner tried unlocking it and corrupt the EFS and it was not recognizing the SIM when I got it.
So I flashed I9100XWKK5 and have run the repair tool on play store and tried deleting EFS manually (after backing up) also run EFS Pro but no luck in putting my IMEI back on.
I have come across this tool unlocksamsungonline.nl/unlock-samsung-I9100, they claim to be-able to fix the IMEI, before I buy the login has anyone tried this before and does it work?
TIA

Users have mixed results when repairing /restoring the EFS folder. You can search and I mean thoroughly search every folder on the phone for a backup of the folder. Previous owner may have rooted the phone and many custom Roms and kennels backup the EFS folder as part of the installation process.
All the best

I have searched through the phone and cannot see any sign of a backup of any sort, any other ideas? or should I go and try this software from unlocksamsungonline.pl
TIA
No backup means you have 3 options:-
1) Service centre/authorised repairer.
2) Local mobile repair shops (you may find one who is capable of doing the things Odia/service centre can do).
3) Contact Odia by PM & wait patiently for a response (which means no sending him 'reminders' - if you do, he'll quite rightly ignore you. He isn't your servant). He may be able to recover your IMEI (for a small 'donation'). But on the other hand, I'm not even sure if he still does this kind of thing (he used to). I cannot stress the 'send him 1 PM & wait' enough. You may think this is urgent, he won't. So if you do go down this path, respect that.
SHW M250 no signal after flashing to I9100 ROM
I flashed my SHW-M250s with I9100 4.0.4 ROM, everything was working good for about 2 months,
suddenly my IMEI changed to 0049 fake IMEI and I lost signal on SKTEL.
I tried to reflash with SHW-M250S after that my IMEI is ok but still no signal and an unknown text appear on the home screen whenever I flash with SHW-M250S ROM, (SCREENSHOT ATTACHED). also I tried different ROMS of SHW M250S and still same problem.
whenever I flash to I9100 my IMEI changes to 0049 fake imei,, and when I flash to SHW-M250s no signal and an unknown text but the IMEI changes to original.
I tried to insert different network SIM with SHW-M250 S ROM, it was working, but still that annoying text on home screen is there.
Also I tried everything on this Forum , try to repair EFS folder etc but no luck.
Do anyone has the idea...?
Please reply to me.
You're mixing thing up here, try backing up your EFS folder while on m250s, make sure you back it up with 2 or 3 app. (ktool and simlar).
Keep flashing your devices ROM till you get all networks going and stick to the cell's original region.
Now, once on I9100, start with GB ROMs.
And then some, try sii_repair from play store and give it a shot at restoring those previous back ups with the same tools.
Try to keep them ROMs apart till you solve one of the two issues.

I tried everything you mentioned but still no luck.
Is it possible that SKTEL has blocked my IMEI on their network.
While I still can access other networks..?
Check you IMEI status online.
Don't think so tho, if it would be blacklisted then you wouldn't be able to use any nerwork.
Are you using the same partition lay out for m250s & I9100?

I am using diffrent PIT files for each I9100 and M250s.
On the online status it shows an old model of Samsung, not the SHW-M250s while it says IMEI is ok.
Alright, when in "I9100 mode" flash from GB to JB (thru ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4).
We need to see if you get your IMEI right at some point on those ROMs.
Flash CM 10.1 to see if that helps.
You're not having any trouble with m250s ROMs right?

Hello I have a big problem, after I installed a new and updated ROM my phone won't work on any carrier, so here's what happened:
1.I had the ROM FoxHound_Sniper_Wolf_LPD_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS and it worked great until the GPS started failing so I decided it was time for a change (until now the phone was working flawlessly with carriers and such)
2.I first tried to install the ROM ParanoidAndroid 3+ ROM Galaxy S2 but I forgot to do a wipe first and then I wiped the phone and re-installed the ROM and it still didn't work.
3.I installed WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2 v14.3 without errors until I tried to turn on data networking (I had my APN setup by then) and it didn't turn on so I tried calling and this would pop up:"Not registered on network".
4.I try to fix the problem by going to network providers and selecting my network provider and it said: "Unable to connect, try later", so I try selecting the automatic setting and it gave me the same error, so I kept pressing the select automatically setting until it said: "Registered on network" so I try to call again and still gives me the same error "Not registered on network".
5.I try to go back to my old ROM (FoxHound_Sniper_Wolf_LPD_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS) and it still gave me the error "Not registered on network".
6.I also tried some other ROMs: RR_JB_V3.1.3_AOKP_4.2.1_I9100 and RootBox-JB-i9100-V4.1 and the phone still won't work.
7.I go back to the WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2 but this time it's v14.6
PS:it says "emergency calls only" in the drop down menu
info:
county: Israel
carrier: Golan Telecom
phone status: I got it unlocked from the company Cellcom
Network mode: GSM/CDMA (Auto mode)
ROM: WanamLite Clean & Fast JB 4.1.2

all you had to do was checking your IMEI online to see if it was blocked listed.
You now ended up with a generic IMEI.
You followed the first 3 steps right?

My situation is the following: a friend of mine came to me because her SIII GT-I9300 was stuck in the SAMSUNG screen. After a little research on the internet, I did a wipe data, which did not work. Then I researched a bit more and flashed Android 4.3 using Odin. Android was running OK, but I got "not registered on network".
My question is: in order to fix this problem, should I worry about the IMEI? (when I did the wipe data i didn't do any backup...:silly.
Any help is welcome. Please have in my mind that I'm a noob...

Thanks for the suggestion... Should I root Android before patching it?

Yes root it then install cwm recovery then download zip file and put it onto your internal sdcard
Then reboot in CWM and use "install from zip".
Well, guys...
I did what you said... didn't succeed. I installed those patches, but it still says "not registered on network".
I wonder if it is an IMEI / EFS folder issue... As I mentioned on the initial post, I don't have a backup EFS folder.
Should I try to flash the stock ROM (I mean, the factory native ROM) so as to try to recover the IMEI?
If so, I don't know what was the original firmware because I got this mobile from a friend.
Any ideas on how to figure it out?
Thanks in advance.

I'm really thankful for the tips... but is there any tutorial on how to flash MG4 modem?
I've had a quick look on the net, but I couldn't find any 'step-by-step'...
I mean, do I have to save those 2 files (modem MG4 + kernel) in the SD card and flash using CWM?
Where can I download it?
Thank you all.

U can try these patched modems
https://drive.google.com/folderview...usp=sha+ring&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8
these are released after 4.3 upgrade with the issue not registered in network
Flash
I would go back to an older version of standard rom. See if that restores imei efs back to version 1. Sammy mobile unbranded uk is version 2 so use an older version than that. I have gone back to this from version 4.3 stock. If phone boot loops after flashing do full factory reset. Then check imei. If still not ok. Install kies and it will upgrade to 4.3 and imei will be back.

Koj,
Could you please post the link for the older version of standard rom? After flashing it, how can I check the IMEI EFS version? I just want to be sure I'm strictly following your tips.
Just to remind you, I got this S3 from a friend who had bought it in USA, and now I'm trying to use it in Brazil.
Thanks in advance. Greetings from Brazil!!
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=ZTO These are a list of Brazilian roms choose the september 4.12 version. You will need to register before you can download. To check imei go to about device then status or from phone keypad enter *#06#
