[Q] Mobile Carrier not working on S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have an S3 I9300, which I tried to upgrade to Omega V54 Rom, android 4.3, but the mobile carrier doesn't work. I also tried to flash stock 4.3 on it, tried MG2, MG4 and ME4 basebands by rooting it with CF Root but this didn't solve the problem. I've actually tried everything I could find on the internet and still can't make the phone unstuck from "Emergency Calls Only".
The phone is factory unlocked and I tried every SIM card I could lay my hands on, but still doesn't work.
Can anyone of the experts here help me with this? I have to have it fixed by tomorrow!

Go to Settings, About Device, Status. Do you see your imei and serial number?

Navigon fires an "imei:unknown" error
Hi,
same thing on brand new Motorola Defy Mini and Motorola XT615. In both cases IMEI numbers show fine in Phone info or when dialing *#06#.
@kilometers4 : this is not about restoring your IMEI, it is there. So it would be cool if you read carefully before referring to non-existent posts. So far there doesn't seem to be a solution to the issue. Unless I have missed something
I also tried playing with the version file but no luck. Any ideas?
I don't think you need to root the device to be able to do that. I'm still stuck.
Any constructive comments will be much appreciated

It would be even more cooler if you contact the app developer.
And post in the motorola forum next time.

[Q] Not registering on network

HI,
I have read all the other threads I can find on this subject but cannot find an answer, I purchased a GT-19300 from Ebay (don’t laugh) it worked great for a couple of weeks, then I updated it with stock JB upgrade from ICS, and now it will not register on the network, I have re flashed it returned it stock, re flashed it, checked all the settings I can find, tried other sim cards from the same network and other networks, all with the same result, it shows the network in the network status screen, gives signal strength, I have checked the basic settings with another phone and all are the same. the phone is unlocked, all I did was update to Android 4.1.1 I have also since downloaded a modem rom and flashed that, did not make a difference. Device state is Normal, but the serial number is 000000000000 I am in the UK and my network is orange, but as I said I have tried an O2 sim as well with the same result. Please help!! Thanks

Did you try other SIMs? I know someone in Hong Kong had problem with the Galaxy S2, the problem is similar to this although there is no firmware upgrading performed before. Then it works again after changing the SIM from the network operator.
I'd probably notice that your radio is 'unknown'. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601 , it helped me. My case was very similar to yours but I had 0000000000 as my serial number and not a random hex string such as yours.
As always check correct IMEI first .
Wrong IMEI see multiple posts on the subject or pay for a repair .###
Check you have mobile network APN settings correct .
Check you have a modem try a different modem .

I've updated my i9300 international to 4.3 mj9 and mk6
and I get no sim installed on s4 revolution custom rom, and both original roms, i tried downgrading to 4.2.2 too.

The patch downloading stucked at 0/100.
I tried different modems such as "Modem DDEMG2" "modem_XXDME4__"
And still I got stucked with the "no sim detected"
Can i have any help here. Cheers.

Yeah I've tried different SIMs that hold different carriers too. Tried almost everything I searched on Google. :/
It was once working on 4.3 with Ariza's patch, until I re flashed the Stock Firmware yesterday.
But as I read the forums Ariza's patch isn't working anymore It just gives me "0/100 Patch Downloading. Please Wait."
Try flash the MG4 Modem
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 (Temasek Unofficial V26)

I did that too. I flashed each and every modem/kernel everybody said that was 100% working from a google doc page.
I think it's your baseband issue. Can you see your baseband version?

If you know the basics and failed you need a service centre repair all the information is posted .
Basics like modem CSC efs1 OR EFS 2 apn SETTINGS ARE ALL WORTH CHECKING BEFORE PAYING FOR A REPAIR .

The last thing that detected my SIM was after flashing mk6 modem again. It detected it for awhile, and suddenly it just pop as no sim inserted.
I guess it might be a sudden hardware problem?
