dear friend
I've been looking all day, I read from the last 6-hour, real.
I upgrade s3 gt9300 android 4.3 official. only after that thought this emergency.
I find nothing, apparently my imei is corrupt, says:
network: claroar (from Argentina)
imei: 640000 ...
service state: out of service
mobile network state: disconnected
Serial number: 0000000000
I did not copy the efs folder.
wifi worked before, probe changing the modem through recovery and now does not work, says authentication error
please help and sorry for my English

This is the story. S3 bought in europe. stopped working immediatelly(i think. or maybe after some weeks) after. didnt get fixed service had some warranty issue.
When i say didnt work, i meant the telephone-side of the device it didnt recognise the sim. everything else works fine(even wifi)
I live in greece so i had the phone sent to me here in hopes to get it fixed. but before that i asked for it to be unlocked and my cousin supposedly(he s not really that tech savvy) unlocked it by the carrier.(even gave me the number to be sure everything's ok)
I originaly thought it might be a hardware issue cause the sim wasnt recognized(remember that problem happened on the original carrier its not a matter of lock) but the guy i had went to to fix it said the entire gsm part isnt working so its either a SOFTWARE (thats why i m asking help here) problem or the main board should be replaced.(think he tried to restore it even to original firmware)
After a lot of research here and on google i m kinda lost because so many things seem wrong at the same time.
1.when i type *#7465625# it goes to personalization but below that is blank. then after 2 seconds i get " Unfortunately. the processcom.android.phone has stopped." so i cant get info on whether its locked or not
2.when i type *#06# i get IMEI null / null "ok" ... so i cant see if it has the same as its written under the battery..
3.when i try to press the notification "software update" i get registering device... " attention! Processing failed "ok" "... so i cant even update to a (maybe) working patch
4. The sim it uses is micro sim and i dont have one available at the moment. so i only check the progress by dialling 911.(isnt it valid to assume even without a sim it would still dial?"out of service area")
5.
Model Number GT-I9300
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband Version Unknown
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1042335 [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT mon MAR 11 17:32:43 KST 2013 (its like 2 hours before i picked up the phone from the guy who was seeing if he could fix it. does that mean he did something?)
Build Number JZ054K.I9300XXEMC2
STATUS
Network Unknown
Mobile network type Unknown
Service State Out of service
Roaming Not Roaming
Mobile network state Disconnected
ERI version Unknown
IMEI unknown
Device status Normal
IF this is a software problem i need your help to know where to get started... you have great guides like for the IMEI or the Baseband unknown message but i dont know where to start cause all these happen at the same time and i dont know which are related to the sim not recognised problem or something someone before me did..(forgot to mention the phone is NOT rooted or flashed to whatever. But i m going to do that when i know more about what i need)
ANY help or information on what is it that i m dealing with would be GREATLY appreciated.

But i have the Imei under the battery and i also have the unlock codes from the original carrier.. is there nothing to be done?
Get a microsim and test.
If fails, you can root and flash Samsung firmware again.
Can use s3 toolkit for above.
Come back after these.
Good luck

No. the IMEI is contained within the EFS Folder which is either missing or corrupt. Only a service centre can repair this. The IMEI number must be programmed into the device in order to connect to the network. This is why you cannot.

Hi, trying to fix a Samsung Galaxy s2, cant make any calls, noticed there's no IMEI, when typing in *#06# it shows: null/null tried to use the z3x box to repair the EFS and also install the correct IMEI number its showing this information:
----------------------------

Selected port:
Selected port speed: 115200
Reading phone info...
Model: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.1.2
Product code: Unknown
Phone version: Unknown
PDA version: I9100XWLSW
CSC version: I9100CPWLS4
IMEI: Unknown
Checking Super user right... true
Reading data from phone... OK

But when I check the *#06# it's still showing null/null?
Just got the Z3X Box, so not really sure what I'm doing yet, any ideas on what to do would be very gratefully appreciated, I was thinking of reinstalling the firmware but not sure what to do?
Thanks

Hi all,
first post so be gentle with me.
OK, heres my situation... I had CM11 ROM installed, I woke up one morning to find my device wouldn't turn on, ahh just a flat battery I thought... nope, after hours of charging it just still wouldn't come up. I managed to get it into download mode and restore the ROM. In doing this it changed its IMEI to 0049... and wiped the serial number. I work in IT, so I spent hours and hours trying to fix it myself but I had to surrender and take it to a Samsung Service Centre local to me. £35 later they have restored my IMEI and serial number, awesome... I can carry on using my phone again after using a bog standard £9.99 Classic style Nokia :good:.... NOPE....
It now indicates that a SIM card is inserted, and registers to the network (EE), but I do not get mobile data connectivity!!!??? I try to dial out, but I get "Not registered to network".
My Device Status reads:
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network Type: HPSDA
Service State: Out of Service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
This is on a stock ROM restored using Kies:
Basband Version: I9300XXUGMK6
CSC: I9300OXAGMK6
Does anyone know of a quick easy way to fix this, or do I just go back to the phone repair shop make out they haven't fixed it properly making them get it working!?
Many thanks in advance
James

Thanks KSKHH, I have installed MG4 modem through recovery as you suggested. Baseband now reads: I9300XXEMG4
However, I still am facing the same problems. Any other suggestions?
thanks
James
Take it back and get them to finish the repair.

Download a compatible firmware from sammobile and install thru odin.
Odin installation instruction should be available in youtube.
i managed to resolve this myself, by flashing a patched version of MK6.
I'll provide a link to where I found the patches shortly
thanks all

This means your efs is not compatible with v2 firmware and you will have the same problem with every update in future. If you paid samsung to fix the efs then they should do it properly.

j ai le meme probleme que vous sur un s3 qu'elle votre est la solution,?
I have the same problem as you on a s3 it is your solution?: Confus:
A friend asked to replace the screen on his i9300 as i've done a few before,
The phone was fine until after I fitted the screen, no signal, looked at the imei its null with baseband unknown. the phone was working before I changed the screen as he was using the phone when he come to mine to drop it of.
now ive spent three days trying to fix this phone, with no luck. being reading many threads all over the internet about upgrading
the rom etc. still the same tho.
I managed to get a cheap z3x box on line, but that cant fix this either.
here is a log from z3x
Selected model: I9300
Selected port: COM7 Z3X BOX Serial Port
Selected port speed: 115200
Searching ADB device... OK
Reading phone info...
Model: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.3
Product code: Unknown
Phone version: Unknown
PDA version: I9300XXUGMK6
CSC version: I9300OXAGMK6
IMEI: null
Phone S/N: Unknown
Checking Super user right... true
Reading nv data... OK
Checking magic... not found
any ideas will be appreciated.
Weird if just changing the screen corrupted the efs but irrespective how it happened you need a backup of the efs folder to restore. If you don't have a backup then service centre required.
If you have a box then read the dead boot thread in general forum, the later stages might work.

No efs back up.
what you mean by if I a Box? what box?
ive looked for the dead boot thread but cant find?
I've cp unknown now too.
Is they any links for i9300 firmware that is mg5 please? And mg2 modems please?
I really need to fix this i9300
Also if I post my efs backup from the phone can someone check it to see if it's missing any needed info?
PLS HOW TO THIS SOLVE IMEI RESTORE ORIGINAL. My Phone Unused. My Problem is IMEI 004999010640000/01 & No Register Network (The Xda is Great World #1 of the Software Engneers-Im XDA #1 Fans)
Ok, you opened a 2nd thread. Probably nobody answered in the 1st one, because there are so many threads about lost IMEI, factory IMEI,... So tick one of these items in search and read.
