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.

Hello everyone! I just bought a new S3 under contract with Orange,It does not have the brickbug firmware so all is good. However in relation to the rom changing efs partition format i have a question that i couldn't find an aswer for. I tried flashing the XXEMG4 and newer roms but they would not do anything to my phone except giving me emergency calls...however my phone works with older firmware and basebands but not with the new ones.. Could this be because it is sim-locked? and somehow my efs remains unchanged? or did i get it wrong?
RECAP: the phone works only with older firmware and basebands but not with new (efs changing) roms...giving me weird imei and emergency calls on newer roms etc,basically all the problems that people experience AFTER flash MG roms and trying to go back to older.

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.
Basics read first.

Hi guys ,
I've flashed a new stock ROM to my sgs3 and IMEI got corrupted , I've already flashed Samsung phones 100s of times and it never happened but now it did.
anyways ,
I think I have some kind of international version , phone model is GT-I9300 .
IMEI shows the generic 00 IMEI.
my serial number(S/N , not IMEI) was good at first but then tried to flash an older stock ROM and now it's all zeros.
Please help me guys , I'm pretty desperate... spend more than 6 hours yesterday (and another 3 hours now )of trying to fix this and still without any success so please don't think I'm just asking here and too lazy to google it.
any help will be deeply appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can assist me.
I rooted my i9300 device using Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit.
After installing Omega ROM 46.1
What i discovered after installing omega rom is that my IMEI number had changed to 004999010640000 and am no longer registered on my network.
I then went to rom manager as i had a backup of my sock rom i restored it but still no network says not registered to network.
i went to a couple of forums n dowloaded offical stock rom from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005286) still no network no back up nothing and the emie is still changed 004999010640000.
current version on mmy ph is
GT I9300
model 4.1.2
basebande version : I9300xxemb6
kernel version : 3.0.31 -1071725
build number : jzo54k.i9300xxemc3
after installing stock rom from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005286)
So basically:
I get the wrong IMEI number when running stock android from Samsung.
and nothing seems to work as not network
Can someone assist me with this? as i am new to changing roms .
You're going to have to search, as discussion of methods to change a device's IMEI is illegal in many places and cannot be discussed on XDA.
Sorry that it's not much help, but the answers are out there if you use Google properly.

Go to Faqs and Guides and read and post in the EFS/ IMEI thread we do not need yet another thread.
As it looks like you failed to backup your EFS as per the instructions its best to take it to a service centre for repair .
Please read the stickies then if you have any questions post in the sticky thread which is actively maintained. Also its IMEI not EMIE
plz help me guys my mobile says that not registered on network
i tried by flashing another rom, by unrooting and also byarizap patch but it wont working plz help me to get out of it................
build no JDQ39.I9300XXUFME7
Check IMEI number matches under battery, if not read EFS 'know this stuff' thread.
Also, search before posting -this subject covered many times and this thread will probably get locked.
