Hi there. Today I updated my i9300 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 via odin. I don't know why but I have a known "no register data" problem. And my IMEI DIDN'T CHANGE. In the settings there is a signal strenght -87dBm 13asu. So, what can I do? I want to call my mom..
PS: I checked, my SIM card works, in my other phone.

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Your handset was probably unlocked using the old patch system, or patched for serial number corrupt. None of those patches work with the latest firmware.
If you try to downgrade you will probably lose imei as well, as your efs folder was changed during the update.
If you followed the xda guides you should have backed up your efs folder before you flashed, without a backup you are stuck.
Try reading the sticky thread efs 'know this stuff' for more information.

Might not be a bad idea to hide parts of the IMEI and phone number next time.
Flash a full stock rom and see.

Im trying to odin to xxle8 which is what i had originally. but odin is saying the parameter is invalid. which firmware should i flash
Managed to flash by removing the .md5 of I9300XXALE8_I9300XSAALE6_XSA. Went into a bootloop so I did a factory reset and cache wipe, booted into the OS, still no service.
Then its not a software issue..
Maybe hardware

I know, didn't notice that the IMEI number and SN had been changed tho that's why I was running around in circles trying everything, next time I'll look at that first. I heard it was a common problem for the S3 so I made sure to do weekly FULL backups including an EFS backup (Thanks TWRP). Bit ****ty that I spent 3 days trying to fix something that ended up being fixed with a 4kb file and 5 seconds of work in recovery, eh, hope this thread may help someone one day, BACK UP YOUR FREAKING EFS RIGHT NOW. Everything is resolved and fixed, back to running Slim Bean like nothing ever happened, phew, thanks everyone for your help and I apologize for spamming the thread.

How did it get corrupted?
Have you tried flashing a stock rom?

Questions go in the QA section, not general
I know as you need one phone service box ( spt box, octabus box, z3x box etc ) for re build nv_data.

Sp, here I am. I updated to MG5 and my modem got modified. No other modem works and I know it why. The question is, Can I restore my efs if I use a backup of my friend's efs? Will that cause any damage to my phone?
From what I learned about efs from another topic pertaining to lg optimus g ( I'm sure its the same for all devices ). The efs stores your imei number and such. But other users may correct me if I'm wrong. So using your friends efs wouldn't help at all. I'm a noob to all of this still.

efs does store our imei details. Pre MG4 modems had a different efs format. The format was kinda updated by samsung on MG4 and MG5 roms. I have no signals on any 4.2.2 roms either. However, an older backup may restore the previous format, no matter if the backup was made on someone else's device. Right?
I honestly couldn't tell you bub. I don't want to say go ahead and do it and then something else messes up.. I would wait for a reply from a much more knowledgeable person. Sorry that I couldn't help.

Your friends efs back up has your friends' imei , which if you use would be modifying your imei , which is kinda unnesessary. If you have your own efs back up just restore it.
sent from the state where Marijuana is NOT illegal !
Just go back to an EMGx modem.
you need an efs backup before installed mg4 or mg5 rom. for now no way to go back old efs format without a backup. and another efs file doesnt work with your phone. efs file contains encrypted imei and something phone information for detecting craking

No, you can't get a new imei by installing that app, it can only help if you made a backup of your efs folder before you broke it. Suggest you go read the basics in general, sticky threads. Nandroid does not backup efs.

i have previously made a backup but when i try to restore nothing happens and the generic imei doesn't change
You needed to understand the basics, there is a good reason why it isn't working. Go read the thread I mentioned.

I'm speaking entirely from ignorance but did you flash the right variant? E.g did you flash 925F firmware on a 925F device? If I were to hazard a guess (and that's all this is, a guess) I'd say your radio firmware seems messed up (with baseband also being unknown).
What happens when you revert to your original firmware?

Did you flash the 5.1.1 version and then the 5.0.2? Flash the 5.1.1 again.
Ok so i flashed official firmware,i now have signal but my imei number isnt right it reads as follows 350000000000006 it ses i am not registered on network. Imei sv is 01

Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Only way to flash it back would be if you made a backup of the EFS partition when you first rooted/installed recovery. The EFS partition contains all the IMEI data which is unique to your phone and flashed at the factory. Since you corrupted it, the only way to restore it would be to flash the EFS backup if you made it or send it back to Samsung for service. AFAIK there isn't a way to recover lost IMEI's if the EFS partition has been corrupted/wiped.
That's ducks really badly

Yeah. I suggest sending it back for repairs and when you receive the new one, root and do a backup of the EFS partition after root. There are several guides online on how to do a backup of EFS using adb/terminal emulator. Keep this backup in a safe location and don't lose it.
You can flash what you want now, nothing will help you. Your EFS partition is gone and without this specific backup you cannot restore the IMEI number. Send the phone to Samsung, they can generate the IMEI number and restore the entire phone.
new trwp recovery have a option to backup.. will post the thread here as little warning in the twrp thread..
Yep I always backup my efs/imei folder as soon as I root phone.

Hi.
I did the same stupid thing a while ago with the same result (without efs backup). Forget about reflashing. The phone is now a mediaplayer.
I asked our local Samsung repair shop, but they wanted to exchange the entire motherboard. Thats how they fix these things in Sweden.
BUT there is an easy way to fix it.
If you have been flashing 5.11, then I dont know, but if you havent, then you can contact an IMEI fix website, and they will help you
by remote service. It works perfectly well. You will get a new IMEI and new serial number. Send me a PM for a link. There is not so many
people doing this, and it took me a while to find the right guy, but guess if I was happy when it was fixed
It will cost you some dollars (60 in my case), and you cannot upgrade to 5.11 later (I dont know why), but thats better than brick.
Hope this helps.

Is that actually legal? I'd send it to Sammy and get it properly fixed, rather than putting up with some dubious services. What if you want to sell the phone later? Have fun explaining why updating to 5.1.1 won't work. I wouldn't ever buy a phone if I heard that someone changed the IMEI. Changing the IMEI is usually associated with a stolen device.
I had the same problem (but IMEI dissapeared), when I flashed 5.0.2 didn't work. But Then flashed 5.1.1 and it worked. Try this. You will loose root.
