Hey,
my Phone only supports BUEMF2 Modem. (Other Modems can't read IMEI)
Is there any chance getting this Modem to work on 4.3?
No, it's prior to the efs format change at EMGx so won't work on any 4.3.

Hmm, ok. What about Custom Roms? Or can I throw my S3 in the garbage?

Hi All,
I am running 4.2.1 on my phone now and I believe it's very unstable. I'm getting a lot of crashes. I want to go down to 4.1.2 as it was great. Can someone please tell me how to downgrade? Should I just flash 4.1.2 on the phone from ODIN? Is it as simple as that or no?
I tried to search, but couldn't find any solutions. Please help. Thank you.

Yes its that simple . Read the downgrade thread read the faqs and stickies if you want more information .
4.2.1 is not a full release so it is buggy .

Thank you for your quick response. Do I need to watch out for a specific firmware like the XELLA or whatever? Or any I9300 firmware should be fine?
You can use any 4.1.2 rom.I back with xperianze .

EMB5 is a good stock release, find it over at Faryabs stock Rom thread in general.
It might be worth backing up your internal sd before the flash in order to format it, as this will get rid of the sd/0 partition layout and the get it back to the 4.1.x layout
What is the difference between modem and radio....? What is the purpose of each?
Thanks

They are one and the same. HTC we call it radio. Samsung call it modem. Modem is what it is called in Odin so that is what they go with.

Many of the partitions have multiple names, for instance;
mmcblk0p2=mdm=modem.bin=radio
mmcblk0p1=apnhlos=NON-HLOS.bin

Hello!
I have flashed my S3LTE with Paranoid 3.99RC2 and now I have a Problem with the Radio.
I have test following modems:
xxALI7
xxBME1
xxUEMK1
The last 2 weeks the Modem xxBME1 will work without problems. Today after a restart of the Phone, I have no signal.
Any Idea?

This forum is for I9300 .
Suggest factory reset reflash rom read the faqs and guides .
But first check IMEI is correct .

you would not have problems because the roms based on CM or AOSP, do not change modem, you would be with the same modem you wear now.
And getting back to Stock?
I mean, if I want to switch back from aosp to Touchwiz based roms, should i flash one with same baseband or another one supported by efs v2, righr?

Yes MG4 or higher modems only. Like MG2 from 4.1 will cause issues.

You can go back to your previous baseband if you have its backup.
But I would advice not to do so as it might corrupt your efs. So just stay on newer basebands.

Ok, now i'm done. So once you get a newer baseband, NEVER go back to the previous one, it doesn't matter if it's supported by efs v2

If its efs v2 you can go back.Never to efs v1.
Hi,
After flashing stock s3 rom my sim card is not being detected. i know the sim card works because i tried it on another phone and i have a feeling my efs file has been made corrupt as my imei has been completely changes to 0049xxxx. Also i cannot connect to any wifi network but theyre being found . ive looked everywhere and found no answer. Please help me on how i can fix it.
I'm guessing that you made no efs backup? Do your phone's cellular functions or wi-fi work while running a custom rom? What kind of GS3 do you own (i9300 or i9305?).

You cannot go backwards to 4.1 with out a efs v1 back up. Somewhere in 4.3 samsung updated it to v2.
Without a back up you can only use the latest 4.3 and upwards.
