If your device cannot turn on and you have flashed a PIT file then you need a service repair or new motherboard .
if you cannot turn on your phone,you can try to flash a stock rom in download mode,
if more worse,such as pc no respond in download mode or cannot turn phone into download mode,you may need a physical repair.
Thread closed, please read and/or post IMEI or EFS related material in the dedicated FAQ thread for this.
Thanks

Hello, I got an SGS3 i9300 with stock rom now, and it is stuck at boot logo of Siyah Kernel, When i enter into Recovery mode, i try to mount EFS and get this error "Error Mounting /efs!" is there a way to make it work? Because i try many roms, i follow a guide to install a Stock ROM that i have now the latest for my country (Spain) without luck, is there a solution? Thank you.
Hi there,
just a stock firmware via ODIN.
you can find download here:
http://samsung-updates.com
I already install a Stock rom, i got a EFS Backup, but i can't put it, because i can't go into the phone it don't boot, it stop at Siyah Kernel boot logo.. And i can't mount EFS folder cuz of that..
Try a factory reset/data wipe from the recovery.

I did use google.. first choice, But i CAN'T find an odin that is compatible with i9300 with EFS Option ! Odin V4.44 Doesn't detect my phone on Download mode.. I Want to do this Tutorial But with my I9300 But that odin doesn't detect my phone.
I've looking on recovery mode STOCK, i can upload Via ADB Sideload, is possible to put the EFS Backup restore from that option?
How can I push the "EFS Folder Backup" into the phone, with recovery mode? Because I Can't go into the phone stuck at boot logo.. i got the EFS Backup, but i don't know how to push it in, EFS Professional Doesn't work it shutdown by itself.. HELP PLX !

I don't get it. Maybe this is a new system or something, but on i9100 we can at least boot into the system and all. Its just that we get no signals, but everything else works fine? Why isn't your phone booting into the OS?

the EFS Folder, i get into it via Root Explorer, and the folder is empty, the phone stuck at boot logo, when i get into recovery mode appear an error that says "Error to mount /efs" i got a EFS Backup and i push it via ADB whole folder, now i got an error on recovery "E:error to mount /efs (The file is too large) and i can't even delete now with EFS Pro, the program shutdown, i got the riff box, im new with it, is quite easy to use it with "Jtag adapters" but with the small chip that came with it, im completly new, to solder the right cables to the motherboard, i know if i can do that, i can resurrect the phone, and repair the IMEI directly, im trying to get info about to know how to solder the cables.. that's why i was looking to another options to make it boot again..:crying:

History:
Well not really sure about what happen to the phone but when it was handed to me it was already stuck on boot logo.
I can go into recovery mode but it always say E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) which I reckon would be an empty efs folder since I handled some problem too before with same problem and they all got no files on efs folder.
Well what I already did was flashed it with 4 part files via Odin3 v3.07 from the rescue firmwares from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
Used XELLA and XXEMC2 with pit and it flashed all right but still stuck on boot logo
Question is, is the empty EFS causing the stuck on boot logo or some other issues like NAND corrupted/damaged already?
Or can I rebuild the EFS folder from other i9300 working EFS in the stuck on boot logo state?
Thanks in advance for the input..

restore you efs backup. if you didn't make one - replace the motherboard

Yeah seems like your /efs is wiped. Check out the discussion in the thread here.
@Glebun
Well I don't have the EFS backup as clearly stated on my first post and while replacing the motherboard is the quickest "fixed" possible, If I got lucky and I have one? But I am just wondering out of the blue if there's another workaround, I've went through a lot of threads here with same problem but unfortunately no concrete solution than send it in for replacement, anyway just trying out my luck on this thread.
Update:
Well there's a miracle happened,
I flashed it again with the XXEMC2 without the pit and now it went past to the boot logo but it just keeps on restarting now on the Samsung animation welcome screen (say a boot loop?)...
@dhirend_6d
I'll check on that mate thanks..

imei problem
Solution :
Flash MG4 modem (Find the file on the internet , download and extract to md5 file, flash with odin and you are fine) or did you back up your efs folder if yes restore it
simple as that
