You are not making sense try explaining the problem slowly in English .
What no serial .
Phone requires sim card = IMEI to connect to a network .
jje
None of your supplied image links work. Maybe you could actually explain your problem instead?
Edit: Okay, so they didn't, but they do now.

network not work

greeting
I Downloaded a stock rom from SamMobile (I installed with odin) and no longer connect to the mobile network
(January 2013 4.1.2 I9300XXELLA I9300OXFELL1)
I reinstalled the original ROM (all of SamMobile) and now can not connect at all to the mobile network
(January 2013 4.1.2 I9300XXELLA I9300VFGELL3)
I tried with (pacman rom) and still do not want to find the mobile network (everything else works)
in the SamMobile download is a dll should be placed somewhere? where?
what I did wrong and how to fix?
check your imei

ok, what should see or know?
I can not figure out what to check?
please can you be more specific?
thanks
R: network not work
To check imei go to settings>about>phone state (raw translation from italian but it cant be too different). I believe glebun is suggesting u seriously f***ked up ure phone, so u should check what imei u got and post it here.
In this phone (gs3) some things about the network are closely connected to the kernel...such as mac address...
have u tried chamging it before? Or changing phone's network name or ip?
try flashing a different kernel...also you've never touched the phone's modem before right?

Google "how to check imei". how hard is that?
Check also the modem version, if the one provided with the new Rom is not compatible with your phone networks it can explain it. Even if afaik jb modems are less sources of issues than ics ones. Most of the time custom roms come without modem.
There is a modem correction thread in general section.
But first check that your imei was not wiped.
Type *#06# on the stock dialer.
If the IMEI has been wiped, it's the EFS problem then. Only service centre. Don't think you could solve it youself

Thank You,

Hello,
I don't know the original csc number and region.
Is it possible to decode from the imei and serial number? Or it doesn't care which CSC/baseband/Firmware flashed to the phone?

Where do you live? Google your country CSC code, use link from earlier post and flash it. Get matching modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28033515 and install it.
I have succesfully downgraded to 4.0.4, IMEI, baseband, csc is ok. But the phone is rejected from the network after a few seconds. What is the problem?
Thank You,

Ask your network a guess is that the phone has been blocked by the network .

Hello,
I think the APN isn't tuched yet. The correct APN settign is needed for the correct working? Is the phone registered through data channel EDGE/HSDPA? Should i config the APN settigs related to the actual network provider?
Thanks,

CSC??

Customer Sales Code (Region code). It is information on what region you are, so KIES knows what updates to give you.;

No. That could be many other things. Does your IMEI match the sticker under the battery?

If you aren't in UK then you may have flashed the wrong modem for your country. Go and read the stickies in general on how to get the right modem installed.

To change csc you need to return to a lowship firmware, completely stock, use csc changer, it will factory reset and wipe internal sd

I9300UBEMH2 Unbranded Chile 4.1.2, I'm chilean, no signal

I updated my S3 to I9300UBEMH2 which is the official rom for my country. I came from XXEMG4 (I didn't have signal with this firmware). I thought upgrading would fix the Cannot register to Network problem but it didn't. It's strange as this firmware is the stock for my country. My IMEI and SN are OK. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Usual is
Wrong APN settings .
or
Wrong Modem Wrong CSC.

APN and Modem are correct. I really don't understand what is the problem damn phone.
Sometime your device will give a generic IMEI, it can't be used
Compare the IMEI in the status and IMEI in the back of your phone after removing the battery.
You can try Archie's emergency zip. It will change your modem to MG4 without changing the RIL, remember to backup first

My IMEI is correct. That's why I don't understand whats the problem. Thanks
as you can see MG4 and MH2 have different modems, so when you pass from MG4 to MH2 the modem was changed and something went wrong.
Have you checked the SIM card in another phone?
Maybe there is something wrong with it.
And BTW, do you have an EFS backup?

Yes, currently Im using an iPhone with no problem. I've tried others SIM in my phone and nothing. I only backed up when I was on XXEMG4, but not before that.
Thanks
did you receive the MG4 update via kies or OTA or flashed it via Odin?

Via OTA, MH2 via odin
regardless if the firmware came ota or he flashed it himself with odin. op states imei is correct and apn is also correct. that probably means the serial number is wrong. marracing, have a look under the battery and see if serial number matches the one in your phone settings. if not than that is why you cant connect to network.

The serial number matches with the one under the battery. This is very strange. I don't know what else to do.
have you tried to reset the apn to default? if you did that already than you need to speak with your carrier, maybe you are not registered on their network because of an issue on their end. if still cannot resolve than take the phone to a service center. good luck
When I first bought the phone (bought it in the US) it came with some German apps (one called Bild is the only one I remember). It has something to do with this issue?
Thanks!
Still can't register to network. Maybe it's blacklisted?
