I need help,phone behaving strange. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please i really need help.
I have searched the trouble shooting part of this forum but i didn't see anyone having the kind of problem i have now.
I was using leaked 4.2.2 when samsung released 4.3,and from there i updated to wanam lite 7.2(4.3).
after using 4.3 for some weeks i decided to go back to 4.2.2,after flashing 4.2.2 in Odin,i discovered that i have no gsm signal and mobile data and also a wrong Imei number,so i restored my backed up efs folder,rebooted and yet no network.
So i decided to delete the whole efs folder and replace with the one i backed up and after doing that i still did not get network.
i decided to installed an MG4 modem and after i did that i was able to get network and my imei number corrected itself too.
Now the strange problems am experiencing after going through the above includes;
1.after flashing a samsung stock 4.2.2 (in order to start afresh),my phone jumps the start up menu(where you find language selection,google signin etc) and go straight to home screen.
2.after a few seconds of loading the home screen i see a write up in yellow that never goes away unless am on another application(image attached).
3.if i press and hold the power button,instead of a pop up menu the phone shuts down.
4.any other rom that is not stock samsung based never boots.
5.i cant restore a previously made nandroid backup(it stops when restoring system)
with all the mentioned problems i can make and receive calls,use mobile data,also have a correct Imei.
i beg all the talented people here to help me out as i am not okay with the state of the phone....
Thanks,looking forward to your helpful posts,meanwhile i use a blue GT I9300,16gig.

I think this explains the aspect of not being able to install other roms , what about the screen shot I attached? .....the issue of jumping welcome page?

thanks to helpers.
You can move to a custom Rom, but you will have problems if you don't understand the changes to the efs format.
Start by reading the sticky thread, efs 'know this stuff' in general forum. There is no ready answer and there are hundreds of similar posts, you are required to search before posting new threads.

[Q] help before flashing a new rom (PLEASE DON'T CLOSE THE THREAD)

please don't delete or close the thread..it's a help section and i want help..so closing it will make no sense
now i am on EMF6 stock rom and i was having the 0000 serial number problem and got it fixed by ariza patch v0.5
i want to flash mj9 rom..i know that there will be a problem with the efs thing
so what steps should i make before flashing the rom?
i have read the efs related threads and still dont know what to do
Yes, there will be a problem with your serial number, you will lose network connection. Patched modem will probably help but you'll have to try before you'll know.
Else stay with your current rom, as everything works.
This information is already available in many, many threads -starting a new one so that you get a personal answer, also dictating to the moderators is pretty arrogant.

If your phone is working then do not flash anything .
i want to update
Then do so, but your phone will stop working. A patched modem thread was made for people who'd used ariza, search for it.

I'm afraid but we do not allow discussions on imei modifications (in contrast to those on backup/restore). The good members here have already shown you a path, it is your choice to walk through it. If you expect someone to hold your hand and feed you all the steps, then that's not gonna happen.

Yellow Text Overlay, No Power Menu, WiFi not working, SN shows all 0

I upgraded my I9300 to 4.3 and that's when I got the issue where in my WiFi does not work. I tried the ARIZA patch and it resolves the WiFi but my IMEI shows Unknown which causes my S3 not to recognize my SIM card and now a yellow text overlay comes up on my homescreen about my phone details, another thing is that I don't have a Power menu, S3 goes straight off when I press the power button. So I decided to downgrade to 4.1.2 but then again same problem existed which now includes back the WiFi which is not working. Please help.. :crying:
