Hi , all ..
I've had a problem with my GT-I9300 which made me pretty disappointed about it getting fixed ..
but after one month of searching and trying what ever i can try to solve this problem , i finally did .
- The problem accrued when i tried to flash Android 4.1.2 via odin
and then after i flashed another frimware which is CM 10.2 , my service was gone and my IMEI was changed to something like "****0000".
you see what happened is that when i flashed that 4.1.2 frimware the modem has been updated and when i got the CM 10.2 the modem was still updated , and the new frimware cannot recognize it any more , flashing back to the same frimware " Android 4.1.2 " wont solve the problem .
The solution :
you just need to flash Android " 4.2 " then try to find the proper modem from this link here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076857
after i tried a couple of them , my phone came back to life again the service is back and the IMEI is restored .
" just find the proper modem " that is the solution .
ps : it took me a whole month of searching and trying solutions to finally solve this problem .
Hope this would help guys , i registered especially to post this .​

Then you didn't try harder. Read that thread again and again and understand it as not all of us are willing to flash a leaked firmware just to fix the IMEI.
Read and understand it especially the "/efs partition format changed".

i got your point , not every one would try to flash a leaked version just to fix ..
but in my case which is the case of many users i have seen ( the reason why i posted this in the first place ) i had no service warranty so i cannot take it to repair and simply fix it , i had to go with all the miss to get it right.

Hello friends and fellow seniors of the xda-developers ,
I just bought an S3 clone about 2 months old already . And am not sure if i can root it as the software is rather confusing .
Model Number : I9300
Android Version : 4.1.1
Baseband Version : MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20,2012/10/25
Kernel Version : 3.0.13 [email protected]#100 THU OCT 25 12:12:12 CST 2012
Build Number : Gingerbread.zkis3
I do know though that 4.1.1 is a jellybean software and yet gingerbread.zkis3 is most likely to be a samsung galaxy s2 2.3.5 .
Is there and ways , or is it possible to change it ? Because i wanna upgrade it to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 jelly bean .
And i really wanna root it . My phone keep saying i dont have enough device storage . My SD card just used 1% of 8gb . And my 16gb still has 14gb left . Either way i still wanna root it . Please help me anyone . /:
If there is someway to change all that and root it . Please let me know ASAP . Please and Thank You !

Your phone is not Samsung and not I9300 .
Nothing for you in this forum .
You need to find a forum for your phone this forum and its firmware and root is not for your phone .
Try find fake SGS3 clone forum .

Ohh okay . Thank you . Can you recommend me one forum or one good site that can solve this kind of problems ? Or can't xda-developers develop a new firmware for this ? I can roughly pay 20 USD$ . Im not bribing . I just want my phone to be at least get rooted . /:
You appear to have missed the whole point of XDA, it isn't about providing a paid service but about helping other people with your own experiences and knowledge.
It is unlikely that anyone here reads or knows about fake S3 forums, neither will they be able to help you with your specific problems.
You would do better to put your $20 toward a genuine S3.
Ohh alright . Sorry about that . I'll delete this thread then .
How do i delete this thread ?
report it
Can i ask something else ? Oh and i found the s3 clone forum . I cant delete the thread i wrote there . Because i thought i was replying here .
Sorry if i was cross post or hijack someone elses post .. I just dont know what or where to ask these kinds of questions .
What do i press/touch if i got into factory mode ( pressed volume up + home button + power ) ?
Because anything i touch/press wont tell me the version or anything ?
And anyways , which one should i look into ?
Full test , Item test , Test Report , Clear eMMC , or Version ?
This is the link to the forum of SGS3 clone that has been rooted .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41257809&posted=1#post41257809
again, you won't get answers here, this is the i9300 forum, and your "device" has nothing in common with it

How can we tell you you dont have a SGS3 its fake a pretend phone and does not work the same as I9300.
Above link is not a Forum for SGS clone its Android Development and Hacking Q&A .
Ask in that thread the users who have a fake SGS3 may know .

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,
We have a sticky thread all about IMEI / EFS issues. This is because if you do a search here now, you'll find literally hundreds of threads all about the same thing.
Please go to:
general > Sticky roll-up thread > "IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff"
... have a read. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask them in that thread. We set it up to try and keep the forum tidy.
Thanks
thanks , I will go dig there right now.
Do please read all of post 1, to the end
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
