I want to test custom roms for my galaxy s3 which has the latest version of Android 4.1.2 which happens to be xxemg4 if I recall correctly with xxemg3 modem since it is greek version. My question is: can I simply flash a rom that is the same android version as mine (4.1.2)?
Also , when I get to flash a rom, apart from my apps, cache, and dalvik cache is anything else wiped?

EMC2 is v1 efs, EMG4 is v2. You cannot go back from v2 to v1 without a backup of your efs folder, made before you upgraded.
Flashing EMC2 will result in default imei and no service.

This is from the Omega thread OP..
1. Make sure to make and keep in a safe place an efs backup - nadroid backup - titanium backup - etc, in case you ever need to restore!
2. With the new firmware from Samsung for the S3 they have changed some security code that will disable the use of older modems, the new update changes the EFS partition which makes it impossible for an older modem being use without upsetting your IMEI (No Phone Signal), please make sure you do have a backup of your EFS in a safe place before you flash to the latest Omega ROM.
This is what Samsung has done, and it seems that its being done to all the new Modems on all the high end devices.

3. Flash with No Full Wipe only from v43.x and previous Omega 4.1.2 versions - if

Looking For 4.1.2
In fact I was looking for a solution to switch back to Custom 4.1.2 as it was the perfect ROM so far for me.
I have downloaded it from Sammobile but after Installing it via Odin I am unable to see any network and the Phone's IMIE is changed. I would greatly appreciate anyone to come up with solution for that....
Thanks everyone for being so kind...

Check your IMEI number, wheather it was changed to 0049XXXX - I have had the same problem. I downloaded from Sammobile firmware v4.3 and flash your phone with odin. My IMEI and network connection was restored. Looks like Samsung does not like us to downgrade the firmwares.

Solution.....
Hello guys....
I am very thankful to the xda forum and all the members who helped me to get through a serious problem..
Recently I installed 4.3 Leaked version on my GT-I9300 and the ROM proved to be worst ROM of life. So I decided to go back to 4.1.2.
I installed the custom ROM via Odin but I confronted a serious issue, when I was finished the installation I found that there was no network at all... Samsung's official told me that it is impossible to reverse the Android version...
I had no clue what to do. I flashed many ROMs but no solution at all. My IMIE was also kinda jumbled..
Many guys said it is EFS issue... But it is not EFS issue...
It is all because of different Modem issue.. all you need to do is just install a clean custom ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and Install the patched modem... you are done..
So here is the solution:
1. Download your desired CUSTOM ROM for your Country from Sammobile...
Link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
2. Install the ROM via Odin
3. Root it and Install your favorite recovery.
4. Install the Patched MG4 Modem Zip in Recovery Mode. Link https://www.dropbox.com/s/geispctijp...9300XXEMG4.zip
You are done....
This problem is all about MODEM version, so I don't think if EFS tricks are involved here.....
Finally credits go to all the XDA Members who put their heart and soul to present all the required guidance for me to be able to downgrade to lower Android Version.. I have only compiled the whole stuff into a single thread....
Thanks,,,
Plenty of solutions....

Dear sir,
Actually the problem is not finding the solutions but finding the right solution.
Worth members of XDA Forum post a lot of solutions for a particular problem and thus newbies like me get even more confused... So it definitely takes some time for us to come to a point when we are able to get the desired results.
Sometimes, we are not able to clarify our queries.....
As in my problem only a Modem was required while I was looking for EFS solutions!
After Flashing the MG4 modem my battery life has become worst. I don't know if it is because of the Modem.. but whenever my phone is on airplane mode then the battery remains at the same percentage but while on network my battery keeps on draining without even texting or calling

Hello
My friend bought GS3 months ago in Arabic country with ICS 4.0.4 installed. When I saw the box, I found that the GS3 is a grey market product. It has Region Lock label written in Russian language on the box and the ROM is pre-rooted CWM Custom ROM
Now, Kies dose not upgrade this version and he wishes to have Arabic stock ROM 4.3 if possible. What are the safest steps to do?
- If I download and flash Arabic stock ROM, will I loose modem connectivity?
- Do I need to backup and restore EFS data if I flash stock ROM?
- Do I need root to restore EFS data/modem driver after flashing STOCK ROM?
- Should I flash custom ROM instead of Stock ROM?
I want a safe way, I don't wish to cause network/EFS loss to the device?

If u are rly just tat scared to lose ur imei. Go kies and do the firmware recovery. U will get stock rom automatically.

Depends on the phone history on what will happen on upgrade to 4.3, sim lock may return or imei lost due to patched efs folder. No way to know until you get flash, so backup efs now.
4.1.2 EMG4 is when efs format changed, anything before this shouldn't cause too many issues.

Hi everyone,
Before I flash a custom rom, I would like to know the answer to some questions I have.
This is the situation: I have an international galaxy s3, I9300XXELLA, with stock rom and android 4.1.2 and I'm interested in flashing the latest cyanogenmod 11 milestone.
I would make a nandroid backup first, so will I be able to just flash my nandroid of version 4.1.2 and downgrade from android version 4.4.2 to 4.1.2?
Also, if I make a nandroid of cyanogenmod 11, will I be able to just switch between the two roms like it's nothing?
Sorry if my questions are noob, but I've tried to downgrade before and I got stuck in a bootloop, I don't want to get this problem again..
And yes, I've searched google.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Okay I've read the topic about efs and IMEI, but I'm not sure if I understand everything correctly
Please correct me if I'm wrong and feel free to give extra information, this is what I think I understand:
Once I flash a rom that was made after the efs format change, I can't go back to a previous version of my modem on that rom.
If I make an efs backup with CWM, I CAN restore it only if I go back to my stock android 4.1.2 (?)
But do I need to restore my efs backup on my new rom? I thought that wasn't necessary..
And another thing, I already succesfully installed a PA version AFTER the format change (I think android 4.3), and was able to go back to stock 4.1.2.. Got a bootloop but was able to fix that in recovery. The stock rom still works, never had problems with the modem what so ever, the only thing I did was restore my nandroid backup of 4.1.2, fixed the bootloop in recovery, and got a working, factory resetted 4.1.2...
So if I flash CM11, will I be able to go back to stock if I use a nandroid (and efs) backup?
Can someone give me a step by step tutorial please? (I just want to know what I have to do)

Thanks, so I don't have to worry about the modems or the efs? Even though my build version is from before MG2?
So for switching to CM and back to stock, I should do:
- make a titanium backup of apps
- make nandroid backup of 4.1.2
- factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache
- flash CM
- factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache
- (test CM rom, put on some apps ect.)
- make nandroid backup of 4.4.2
- factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache
- flash nandroid of 4.1.2
- factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache
- reboot
- restore apps with titanium backup
Will this work?
Thanks everyone, any help is welcome

Yes you do have to worry about efs if you do not backup your efs you may have problems maybe not today or in a week or month but if you ever corrupt your efs by flashing roms and you do not have a backup you will have big problems!....First rule when flashing roms backup efs!
Second rule save a backup not on your phone .

So can you give me the right steps please? You can just edit my post in a quote or something, thanks
And like that I can perfectly switch between roms, right? No problems with efs (if it doesn't get corrupted by accident)?

Dun nid to back up the apps since nandroids do back up them alr. Save the nandroids to ext sd card. Recommend 16 or 32 gb sd card for this. And backup efs to ext sd card too. IMPORTANT TO BACKUP EFS

You Flashed DEVIL KERNEL?
If you did http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/kernel-devil2-2-3-2-omni-cm-samsung-t2528624 the first flashers LOSE Their baseband too.
Try to read the thread on how they fixed the problem. Are you running on CM? Dual Boot?

Bump for me
Flash the full stock rom for your country with Odin then factory reset in recovery. If efs is not read by the stock rom then restore your efs backup.
No backup then you'll have to pay for a repair.

If your IMEI is 0049 or null, try to use a patched MG4 modem first. Revolutionary roms don't have modem in them so that can cause some issues occasionally.
Let me know if it works.

Hello There,
I think the problem is the rom itself, i advise you to degrade your phone to its stock rom/orig rom and find a better rom.

Well my IMEI seems to be normal,it is not recommended to post it here?
Ps there is a way to find what was the original ROM of the phone?
Ps the imei shown on the phone is the same of the one shown on the back of the phone
Is this a good thing? Means no corrupted imei?

- I would recommend never to post imei anywhere
- If the imei matches then all's ok.
- Stock rom depends on the country. You can search on sammobile and flash with Odin. 4.3 not recommended if you like flashing roms.

What i can do to restore network?
I advise to flash patched modems
You should try 2
Before mg version and after mg version
To check work both efs versions
If you don't know about efs stuff I advice to read imei thread in the sticky. Good luck with flashing modems :good:
