Hi guys,
I really hope that one of you can help me with my problem!
First I posted this thread in another forum (T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron Samsung Galaxy S III)
but they proposed me to place it here, because it is a international model. I9300 from Tmobile.
What my problem is:
Last summer a guy abroad rooted my Galaxy S3 (Tmobile) so I could use my phone abroad.
Unfortunately I didn't know that, cause my knowledge about devices isn't that good.
I think that he changed my IMEI number and that this is the problem with my simcard which isn't accepted by my phone.
Two days ago my phone started to do weird things like starting it self and locking it self.
So yesterday night I decided to unroot my phone, I thougt this could be a reason of it.
I unrooted it by a video at youtube and it worked. Only like I have said my sim card dont work.
The only number I can call is the emergency number and I don't think that will help --'
Please help me, I am really desperate!
(my english isn't so good, I hoop that I am clear enough)

Serial number is not changed or lost, only is bad displayed in 4.0.4, if you return to 4.0.3 the serial displays again this don't have any effect in the phone, when the bug will be fixed in new 4.0.4 your serial appear again.
Slightly different problem
Bought a second hand galaxy s2 yesterday and flashed the ICS firmware. The ICS firmware flashed properly and succeeded without any errors.

Kernel missing Kernel version? All the Kernel versions that I've seen posted have had more information than my phone displays.

The serial number is missing like in the post above.
Please could someone advise? I would like to root this phone but I don't think I can without the kernel version.
Thank you.

this is weird, I too did a search on the same subject and it brought me here other links take me off onto missing IMEI numbers etc... none seen yet that address this issue. Is it a dead issue, can it be restored back to phone such as with the IMEI? maybe a title of the thread would help in making sure I have the right one before opening them all.
thank you any help will be appreciated

Forget ICS and whatever you do don't factory reset on 4.0.4 or say bye bye to your s2. Goto sammobile and download lsw jelly bean and flash that through Odin. Just remember don't factory reset on 4.0.4!! You should of bin warned about this.
Hello guys!
I am new to this forum and to this problem too. I do not have much experience in "phones". Anyway here it is my problem. I have recently got a CHINESE Samsung Galaxy S3 from a friend because he complained he cannot use it due to the Invalid IMEI error. Yes, it is a clone at a price of around 150$. Besides the fact that the IMEI shows as INVALID , the phone is 90% like the real one. The 10% consists of the poorer display resolution and the fact that the AUDIO does not work while using the JB 4.1.1 OS. There is no hardware problem because this Chinese phone also has a separate OS for "tests"( where you can test if the features of the phone are working properly...i dont know if the original one has this "sub-OS" too. On this "Sub-OS" there also is a feature called "Version" where it shows the properties of the phone. However, when it comes to the IMEI it says UNKNOWN). Now when I enter the "About Phone" in JB 4.1.1 I get this information:
Model Number: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: I9300XXLEF
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-570657-user [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 23 09:05:19 KST 2012
Build Number: IMM76D.I9300.ZSALED.9P017.6628
*** I don't know if this makes any sense but my PC found this Phone while USB Connected as Android mt65XX Phone
I Also tried that SUPERONECLICK program and tried ROOTING it. At the first attempt the program announced me that the OS has Already been Rooted ( Which I think it is normal since the phone is not original) I cannot use the POWER+HOME+Volume Down option ( Maybe because the phone is not original) so I cannot get into the DOWNLOAD Mode ( or smth like that)
What can I do to get a working IMEI so that i can make Phone calls. I live in Romania ( Europe ) and the phone recognises my SIM Operator ( Cosmote). So...any hope for my friend or he has to return his phone? :/ Thanks!

What do you mean by that? The policy of the forum does not allow fake phones or you simply don't know how to do it?

Just recently bought the I9300 out here in China. Actually it's the 2nd time I've bought this phone (lost it the first time I owned it). Right away I noticed that some of the preinstalled chinese bloatware apps were different than what came preinstalled on the I9300 I previously owned.
Living in China I'm always nervous of something being a fake, even when I buy it from a trusted source. I think it's very possible that the phone has simply changed since the last time I bought it (about a year ago) but I figure it's better to post the specs on here and let someone who knows more about the phones in China decide if my phone is a fake or not.

I think, your device is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Original.
You have the versión GT-i9300_CHN_CHN from China Unicom.
I have the same versión, but i change the stock rom, i made a modified rom from CHINA and Spain, so i can enjoy Play Store, and full Spanish or English Android.
If you still have doubts, Search the App: Genuine Galaxy S4/S3/Note II, this app tell you if your Galaxy is original, using hardware test.
Good Luck

Don't worry, buddy. That's just fine. You may install a new rom such as XXELLA or later.
The baseband ZCELL1 is customed for CHINA UNICOM. That is the ONLY services provider that have WCDMA/HSDPA network.

Your unrooting had changed the imei to a default, you don't say what you did to unroot but you probably flashed a v1 efs rom instead of v2.
Go read sticky threads, efs 'know this stuff'.
Here's the deal:
I have a Samsung galaxy S3 I9300 bought from China, it was working normal without any problem until I wanted to install another Firmware beceause the Chinses didn't have any Gapps (no Google maps, no Gmail, no Chrome...), ... didn't go well (lost the IMEI and I got one starting with 0049..., so I can't make any calls or other things with my SIM card).
I reflashed it with Chinese rom, I still have the 0049 IMEI and I lost the CSC, when I dial *#1234# I get:
AP: I9300ZCEMF2
CP: I9300ZCELL1
CSC: Unknown
the ROM already installed: I9300ZCEMF2_I9300CHNEMF2_I9300ZCELL1_HOME.tar.md5 So I am now downloading another Chinese ROM (with android 4.3 in it) the file name is I9300ZCUBML1_I9300CHNBML1_CHN.zip so technecally the PDA version is I9300ZCUMBL1
Some informations:

Build number: JZ054K.I9300ZCEMF2
Here's what I want from you guys:
If I install this ROM, what could go wrong? I mean could I have more problems than i already have?
Obviously, I am trying to do is
1.get rid of the CSC unknown
2.get my IMEI back
If the flash will be succefull Do i have any chance of fixing any of these problems? If installing the new ROM won't do anything about it, how can I fix it?
I hope that my problem is clear. and if you need any more information just tell me, I'll update as soon as possible.
Thanks
