Hello all,
I live in The Netherlands and I had bought the Samsung Galaxy SIII from a telephone provider in the Netherlands.
I had an official ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SIII and everything worked ok.
It was working on Android 4.1.2. and I wanted to flash it to Android 4.3. with Odin. It was the first time I ever flashed something in my life so I was very happy that it seems to turn out well.
But I discovered that I have a big problem on my hands know because my IMEI is completly gone, my phone number has become unknown and my network is gone too!
I still can use WI-FI on my phone but that's it!
Does anyone has any idea how this can be solved?
I am aware that there are simulair posts here with this subject but it didn't help me so for that reason I desided to post a new one for this issue.
Thanks in advance!
Follow these guides if they can't help sounds like a service job..

Hello Everybody,
After rooting and flashing my galaxy S3 GT-I9300 I got some problems. I can't connect to the network and my IMEI has changed. I tried changing the IMEI following the instructions in this guide.
That didn't work. I figured that my phone might be t'mobile branded but i'm still not sure. So i installed a t-mobile ROM. This gave me more problems. The phone didn't start at all. Even charging was not possible.
At the store they flashed the stock rom for me. It does start but still weird IMEI and doesn't connect to the network. I also have these signs on screen (See print screen).
Can anybody help me please? Thank you!:good:
(sorry for my bad English)
Please ask this question in the relevant IMEI thread.

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.

Already a sticky about this, please dont post duplicate threads.
Hi guys, I know this has been discussed a lot but I have no idea what to do next, here's what happened:
So one of my friends bought a used galaxy S3. The next day, he noticed that the IMEI inside the phone was actually different than the one shown inside Android Settings, so I just assumed maybe the motherboard has been changed or something like that. Anyway, I proceeded to install CM10, but after trying it out for a couple of days he complained the device had been crashing a lot and that he wanted to go back to the stock ROM. So this morning I downloaded the right 4.1.2. ROM and flashed via Odin, after which I had noticed I wasn't able to make any calls whatsoever. After reading up on this I checked the SN, which was now 00000000000, bun even after rooting / trying the ariza patch, the phone is not working anymore. I have no EFS backup, and was thinking about trying to flash the modem next to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43946365#post43946365 , is this the right fix? If not, can I actually do anything about it now? Thanks.
Faqs and guides its all posted we don't need identical threads .
Sorry, I know there are a lot of other threads like this one being opened all the time, but even after reading my ass off today I couldn't figure it out, which is why I decided to post here, I would really appreciate a link to a relevant topic, if a full answer is too much to ask. Thank you.

Hi all..
This is my first post on here, so please be gentle with me....
I've got a Galaxy S3 and courtesy of my network provider, I've got the phone unlocked.
Am I now able to replace the branded Rom in the phone with a stock rom (ie one downloaded from Samsung's site but with no network bloat), or is that something that people wouldnt recommend..?
Any help gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to moved it.
Network unlock is irrelevant to your rom, you could always have flashed whatever firmware you wanted.
I'd suggest you read the guides and sticky thread before do anything.
hi there
I received official 4.3 update. frankly i didnt like it just like the jeally bean. call me crazy but i really liked the ICS too much and it was more than i need. i usually downgrade from jellaybean to ICS without any problems. its just last night when i tried to do that from the 4.3 i lost my Imei and it leads to no network thing / lost signal !! i was trying to use my stock room ( latest ICS update ) which is I9300XXBLH1_I9300OJVBLH1_XSG but now after flashing this as i mentioned i cant do calls.
Is there is any way to fix this? i heard that i have to flash the modem and thats all. please help am currently on 4.3 .
thank you soo much guys.
