Galaxy S3 IMEI problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people.
I'm new here and therefore perhaps not as much of an idea as you.
My English is not so good.
My problem:
I flashed my phone with the Rom Xperianze.
Now I have the problem that I have such a great developer Imei.
've Tried all things. I also flashed back to stock.
It all brought nothing.
Do you have to send in some ideas except maybe the phone?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Un-root help needed - how can I return to S3 stock?

Hi All,
I'm totally new to rooting and to be honest I never planned to get into it and especially not in this way.... please read on....
I bought a 2nd hand S3. The original owner told me it had been unlocked from Vodafone UK, but no further modifications.
So the phone arrives and I turn it on and the first thing I notice is UltimaROM asking to download their latest v9 ROM. I see other apps installed like SuperuserSU, Headphones shortcut for SGS3, S Note etc... so I suspect the device has indeed been modified. Seller tells me it's only been unlocked and nothing else. Also, comparing to a work colleague's stock S3, my phone has a different appearance (different battery % icon amongst others...), I see Nexus 4 wallpapers are available, JaiThemes etc... all looks a bit fishy to me.
Also phone does boot into recovery mode into CWM...
So I start reading a little bit, I've downloaded Rootchecker - says phone is not rooted.
All I ever wanted was a stock S3, no interest in rooting for now. Could someone please advise what I can do to get back to stock and have it unlocked? I know there are guides to un-root a phone, but rootchecker says my phone is not rooted, and I have no original backup, so I don't know where to go from here....
Any help or guidance is appreciated here...
Check the basics, there's a guide on flashing a stock ROM.
The seller is definitely lying to you

Thanks for the reply.
If I find a Vodafone UK stock ROM, will I then lock the phone back to Vodafone?
Thanks
Don't think so, but why would you get a vodafone ROM? Just get a universal one

Thanks for that, I will look for a universal one.
I've been looking for a bit, but I can't find the 'basics' section you mention in order to flash a stock ROM.
I have searched the forums, and people have mentioned ' I flashed a stock ROM' but I need to know the steps to do this...
Also - has my warranty been affected? If yes and it is now invalid, will flashing a stock ROM solve this?
Again, any help is really appreciated here.

What would help other people to post answers for you is if you could list what you have done to solve the problem..There are lost of things you can do but it would be helpful to list what you have done to solve the problem, so that people are not posting answers that you have already tried.. Also don't forget to read the stickies on the subject..:good:
As you have already read and tried all the fixes then you need a service centre repair .

[Q] Upgrade s3 gt-i9300 ic motherboard problem

First of all, hi there. Im a new member and also a noob hehee..
Ok, direct to the questions.
I just upgrade my s3 gt-i9300 to a custom rom and it got softbricked.
I search anywhere to fixed the problem via odin and ota, but still cant fixed it. Pit problem and so on.
After all of the time i wasted, it still not solved and still stuck into samsung logo.
So, i decided to repair it to the technician. The technician said, my phone cant be repair using software , so he's gonna change the 'ic' of the motherboard. The cost is RM250.
The next day, my phone is done repairing.. but now, my phone version is only ics 4.0.4.
So the technican said, my phone cant be upgraded anymore. He said whenever u change the 'ic' of the motherboard, it wont be upgraded anymore.. so i got angry and said, why didnt he tell me before .... so, anyone can help me??? Is that true? Or the technician just troll me so i can send my phone to him and he got money more? Im confused about this.. anyone pls.. thanks a lot..

First of all welcome to xda. I've requested this thread to be moved to the troubleshooting thread cause this is the General thread and not meant for questions such as yours.
As for your question... I don't think he changed your ic just like that he may just have flashed a stock ics rom on your phone so he may had charged you quite a bit. You can always upgrade the 4.3 when you use ODIN if you want to know more there are stickies you can start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/frequently-questions-t2148708. Also be careful on flashing custom roms always make sure that it's for the GT-I9300 model that you have.

Thank you for your answer. So, can i upgraded my s3?? Coz the technician said that my phone will be damaged if upgraded. I still worry about this. By the way, is it really true that whenever the ic of the motherboard changed, the android can't be upgraded anymore??? Pls help me..
Maybe he changed the motherboard, maybe he didn't. It wasn't repaired properly, leaving it on 4.0 and telling you not to update it means the efs is patched to get it working, this might be your old motherboard with a bad fix or a 'new' motherboard with a bad coding of your imei and serial number.
Either way the technician isn't capable of repairing the phone so best try getting your money back, use the update excuse as a lever.
Leaving the phone on 4.0 will mean sds happens, as that version has a bug that kills the nand memory.
Thank you for answering. Here another question more. So,are there any way to fix my phone? If i upgrade my android to 4.3 will it be damaged?

[Q] Help needed with MTK6582 (S5)

Hi, I'm trying to put (run) a service on my replica Samsung S5 (MTK6582) which I bought from China.
But every time I try to put the service on, the settings crashes. (settings-services).
Has any of you met this kind of problem before?
If so, can you please give me some ideas how to fix this issue.
Oh I don't know if this is important, but the phone runs on android 4.2 and installed firmware (Rom) is SM-G900S_V05.
Thanks in advanced !

You might be very hard pressed to find anyone that can help with this. Very few people get clones and no developers get them. The main issue is the hardware is never what it says it is and the software is almost always the same, they will make minor edits to make it look like the os they claim it is and then change a text file to show a different OS version.
My advise would be to pull a logcat and post that. This will atleast get you what is erroring out.

Thanks for your reply Zelendel.
I just flashed another firmware which I found at NeedRom, but the problem still exist.
How to get a logcat ? do I need to install ADB or some other app?

Had you followed the rules you agreed to when you joined you would not be asking me that question.
There are hundreds of ways to do it. There are apps and adb.
Ill be honest I think your issue is gonna be the OS itself.
Thanks again for your reply !
You are right, I haven't read the rules etc.
I just came here for some fast help.
But no fuss, I will read it someday and study the adb or other app and come here again.
