Hi everybody,
I am from Belgium and I am trying to repair a GT-i9300, that crashed without any root or customs roms...
The phone just freezes on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 logo.
So I tried to wake him up with Odin and an other Official Firmware. He woke up but I probably took a bad Firmware because I can't get any Network.
I made some researches on Google, and tried some ROMs that could be ok for te phone.
I tried 9300XXEMB5, 9300XXALLE, 9300XXALF5
ODIN did well for 2 but with EMB5, I still have baseband problem. With ALF5, Odin flashed but phone can't even wake up.
ALLE failed to flash. PIT failure... ???
KIES doesn't recognize the phone.
Today I asked a friend that has a non rooted S3 like mine, to typ *#1234#.
He received :
AP : I9300XXEMG4
CP : I9300XXEMG4
CSC : I9300LUXEMG2
Can someone give me a link to the good firmware or firmwares (???) I need to download? I saw on forums, I need to flash with ODIN not only with PDA, but I have to flash CSC too.
It's the first time I can't find the good way to repair my phone with ODIN. I did it with S2, S3 (friend of mine), Galaxy Nexus, S4 Active...
So I tought I was good enough to do it easily.
But, it's a fact, I am stuck...
I need your help...
Thanks on purpose.

Read the faqs and guides first saves posting identical questions .
My guess is you have a damaged phone In download mode what is Product Code .
If nil you need a new motherboard see freezing SDS thread .#

Rooted my Galaxay i9100 yesterday, and im having the Force Close program problem (Orange net work) , so looked at through the forum to reistall the origainal firmware, as most user are doing.
Question is do i need to reset custom binary counter to reinstall the original firmware?? And do i need to use SuperOneClick to re root my phone?
PLUS i may have forgot original firmware name .... could of been kda ,but i did a update before i flashed it ..... :/
I also get the yellow warning triangle on boot up...

Try factory reset first
Question is do i need to reset custom binary counter to reinstall the original firmware??
No but counter still shows custom rom number
And do i need to use SuperOneClick to re root my phone? YES

Any advice on how to work out the original firmware or does it matter??

If you want to downgrade it, I would look at flashing KE1 with Odin. Have a look in the android development forum.
It was my understanding that flashing official roms does not increase the counter, but flashing anything else does. So flashing the custom kernel will increase the counter. You can look at getting yourself a jig to reset it.
As for rerooting, yes, you'll need to do that again after flashing down to KE1.
Or you can just stick with it, I've heard it doesn't actually prevent functionality, it's just annoying. I'd anticipate a KE3 soon to fix the problem.
Personally if on Orange i would wait for the upgrade due KE3 .
Original firmware Orange branded phone is warranted by seller .
Stock firmware via Odin and Samfirmware is stock Samsung firmware . Seller may reject this under warranty but Samsung cover it .
Kies will probably not update requires Odin and Samfirmware for updates .
Rooting breaks your warranty full stop and requires removing before warranty claims .

Hi Everyone,
I know there are a few thread around with the same purpose, but nothing helped me. I even did ping few members who claimed to have known the problem, to my bad, they are busy to reply me. So i thought i would start a new thread explaining my problem.
I got a new Galaxy GT I9300 Before 3months in Singapore, The shop is famous for selling smuggled phones, so i am not sure to which country mine belongs to. There was no network initially, so the shopkeeper offered his help, He gave the mobile to a nearby service centre and got it ready,
I am not sure what he did, but d phone had CWM and Super User. I already own a Galaxy S2 and i have done a lot of flashing Custom MOD's, So i wanted my Galaxy S3 to be original for a while. So i tried to restore by flashing a official firmware, To my surprise the phone didnt have any network in it after the ODIN flash. I tried an INDIAN firmware, then Singapore.
I tried CWM (which i am not a pro) but couldn get back the network. I went back to the service centre and he told some files are corrupted since i flashed the phone with official firmware.
He again flashed it, now the network works, voila ! I couldn figure out and he wouldn tel me. ****ing $40 !!! The phone had CWM and SuperUser installed in it again.
The phone had the following information after wat ever he did.
IMEI - 3531*********99 it is same in d board and in the phone information.
MODEL NUMBER - GTI9300
ANDROID VERSION - 4.0.4
BASEBAND VERSION - I9300DXLE9
KERNEL VERSION - 3.0.15-611327-USER SE [email protected] -71 #1SMP PREEMPT TUE MAY 22 21:54:17KST 2012
BUILD NUMBER - IMM76D.I9300XXALEF
NETWORK - SINGTEL
SERVICE STATE - IN SERVICE
MOBILE NETWORK STATE - DISCONNECTED
MY PHONE NUMBER - UNKNOWN
ERI VERSION - N/A
IMEI SV - 01
SERIAL NUMBER - 000000000000
DEVICE STATUS - MODIFIED
Can anyone please infer on what the service guy had done. so that i can update my phone to JB. I am sick and bored of the same firmware for over 4 months and i wanna change it. But i dont want to get struck in the same issue. Please help and advance thanks !
I am afraid you had bad luck
1. You should NEVER pay for stuff that does not work (and is not with original firmware).
2. You should also read this - it is almost certainly the same story (in your case SN 00000000 should also give a strong clue things are not what they should):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34226179
3. Since whoever f***ed those things the first time on your phone did not make an efs image-backup you can never return to factory state!
4. You are basically stuck with a phone where you will have to apply a patched modem after each ROM upgrade.
when you say patched modem what do you mean.?
Patched modem ???
When u say patched modem, can u explain tat ? Is it possible to create one by ourself ?

A patched modem apparently is modem code that does not check all the stuff in the efs partition (for instance when SN is 00..00) - I am currently using the one posted by ariza somewhere around. Patching one might be quite complex and for the moment I did not have the time to research that. The only problem that I see is that certain providers are said to be using very unusual modem code (since they have unusual settings in their own network) - and in that case you need to use a patched version of that specific modem version - but so far I have not seen that happening in a very repeatable way in posts from european networks.
The other problem is that when you install any full ROM (for instance 4.1.2) that will overwrite your modem - so you will have to re-install the old patched modem (so far ariza_v04.zip seems to work OK with 4.1.2 on my operator's network).
Serial no 000000...
Thousands of Thanks man, I have been facing the same problem from last few days after flashing cwm6 and UltraRom. hi can you please suggest me an modem for Samsung Galaxy s3 I9300 Indian version.

Hi guys. I need some helps. I'm from Malaysia and the android that i used before is android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMF6 (original firmware). Then ive upgraded it into android 4.3 (I9300XXUGMJ9) for UK region. Even though it is an official samsung firmware, i found out it is unstable. I flash it back to android 4.1.2 (Malaysia original firmware) but something happen. The "network have not registered" problem. I then found the solution by rooting it and install the modem. But it act funnily as the android seems unstable from before. I flash it over and over again hoping that reverting back to 4.1.2 will be the same as before but i ended up using 4.2 as the 4.1.2 have network problem. I already search the forum and find many solutions but none provide the files that i need. I also have tried KIES method by recovery and initializing method but it resulted the same. "Network has not registered. The only solution is to root it and i would really like to NOT to root my phone.
My question is, can someone provide me with necessary files such as the pit files, phone (modem) and the CSC files that specifically for Malaysia regions? I already have the firmware file. Please guys. The instability of 4.3 is driving me crazy.
BTW im using i9300.
Stop.
You are going to brick your phone if you flash things without understanding them.
Go to general forum and read the sticky post, especially efs 'know this stuff'.
Flashing a pit file WILL brick your phone.
When you flashed 4.3 you upgraded to efs v2, there is no way back. You can only use EMGx and later modems now, find a later modem that will work in your country, either with 4.1 or 4.3.
Edit. Backup your efs, perform a factory reset, flash your 4.1 country rom then an EMG modem.
hey man, thanks. One question, where can i find this emg modem?

What you`ll need is a new version of 4.1.2 with a mg4 baseband or latest, the 4.3 rom changed your efs folder format. If you want to stick with your 4.1.2 go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43946365&postcount=15 and flash that emergency.zip (mg4 baseband), it should do the job.
Hi guys. Already solved the network problem by installing the Modem DDEMG2 files via odin. Thanks for your guys helps and advice. For some that thinks that i haven't read many posts, i have read them but cannot grasp the concept. Sorry for the inconvenience. Many thanks.

Hi Everyone,
I am typing this query under severe worry about my galaxy s3.I am dying for any help experts would be able to provide please.
I had 4.2.1 stock ROM installed on my s3 and im a very frequest visitor to xda for custom roms.
I downloaded the Android revolution 40 ROM for S3 and installed it after taking a backup of my stock ROM using recovery
When i booted into the new 4.3 revolution i was getting the error " not registered on network".
I searched the threads here in xda and did everything like ariza patch and flashing mg4 modem but even now the phone was not able to register to network Airtel
the most strange part is i get full signal,I have baseband and also IMEI still it doesnt connect to network
now the most strange part.If anyone calls me they are able to get the ring but im not getting any notification and the phone is idle.
I tried to search for network from mobile networks but it gave msg as "error when searching for network"
I took the phone to Samsung service centre and they told me they will reinstall 4.1.2 and it will work
I waited for 2 hrs and they told me its done.I put the simcard in and again i have same "not registered on network error"
Im sure they dont know how to sort this issue and the only thing they did was reinstall firmware which did not help
Im very afraid now that my mobile is permanently gone and i feel very bad for this
I hence request the experts to help me and bring my device back to normalcy which will releive me of stress mentally.
Please help ASAP.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Sir,
Many thanks for youre reply.
Today i got a call from the Samsung Service Centre that they are unable to fix the "netowkr not found problem"
They told me that there is some problem with the motherboard and it will cost 9000INR which is approx 155 USD to change the motherboard
They told me that is the only way the phone can get the network back and there is no other option.
I read your reply and I will download stock 4.1.2 from sammobile and flash with odin at home and flash the patched MG4 modem today.
That is my last hope as i cannot afford 155 USD for the motherboard as it is 1/3rd the price of my mobile.
They din charge me anything and gave my phone back.they have installed 4.1.2 stock I9300DDEMG2 modem and build number I9300XXEMH4.
I will post tomorrow what is the stauts of my phone.
Many thanks anyways for your help,this is my only final attempt to save my S3.
I hope it works.
Many thanks anyways for all the help

Hi Everyone,
I would like to inform you all that finally I have revived my S3 and it recognizes the network now.
I flashed the patched modem on my stock Indian firmware and my IMEI became 0049....
I found out that my SGS3 was bought in UAE by my cousin and hence i downloaded the 4.1.2 stock UAE firmware and flashed it.
Again no signal and no network
Finally as a last step before giving up i again flashed the patched modem and restarted the phone and it connected to network
My baseband is back,IMEI is back to normal,able to connect to network and everything works now
The only glitch now is that the serial number is 000000
I dont think it affects the phone in anyway.
Aslo one more question,can i update from OTA software updates in Samsung or again my phone will have "no netowkr problem"
Kindly advise
Many thanks anyways for all the help
OTA updates only available to unmodified handsets, running unrooted stock rom, recovery etc. All this and more is in the general forum, sticky threads -go read them.

I need any file can be flashed over odin , because it's not rooted
thank you
So go to Samfirmware/AndroidFirmwares.net/Samsung-Updates.com, get some stock roms for your country/carrier & flash them. If it's a case of the IMEI disappearing temporarily, you'll get it back. If it's permanently borked & you don't have an EFS backup, take it to a Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop.
Update rom stock from odin ?

Many local mobile repair shops can fix this for you relatively cheaply (for example, where I live I can get it done for AUD$30), a Samsung service centre will charge you a lot more purely because they can.
