samsung s3 help
could you please link me to a solved thread with this exact problem please
unless you backed up your efs partition . you cant revert to an older modem . my advice for now is stay with mg4 and back up efs . apparently for as of right now if you change your modem you will most likely lose your imei

[Q] How to revert back from 4.3 to 4.1.2 (Malaysia Region)

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.

Well thats odd. First make a backup of your imei if its not corrupted in the 4.1.2. Older than MG4 modems have efs v1 but MG4 can read both v2 and v1. Upgrading has never given a imei problem in my experience, only downgrading. Again BACKUP your IMEI. Factory reset and flash a stock rom do try 4.3 after making nandroid and efs backups. Which rom are you using btw?

First flash any modem supporting efs v2 starting from xxugmg4 or above... and then flash any 4.3 ROM.... So just look for a modem which supports efs v2 accirding to your region...and you didn't searched enough I guess cause this issue has been covered almost 100 times maybe more...

Well I would suggest you in the first place to backup your IMEI and only after that you should install custom roms So if a rom would mess up your IMEI you can just restore it. You can install any kind of rom Kitkat, Touchwiz, MIUI, Jelly bean your choice.
I recommend installing ultimarom trust me on this one
