please help me i9300 not network

good day
I have my device samsung s3 galaxy.
Instead of the original imei erased and written in a different IMEI.
I want to install a different rom or custom rom now I want to install the network going. we have to throw again imei with spt box. The most robust way to back up efs file? original or subsequently thrown can make the device can erase imei?
Sorry. I find it difficult to understand your english. Did you mess up with your EMEI number?

I think this is illegal use of IMEI but please clarify .
Does the phone have the original IMEI.

[Q] No service after installing any new rom?

Hello guys, I am kinda experienced with flashing roms and stuff since I owned galaxy s2 for over a year. However I bought a second hand galaxy S3 one month ago and it has a turkish firmware however when I tried and installed a new rom everything seems to work find except the network service all i see is a circle and has no service and i tried many roms even jelly bean rom (which worked fine with my friend's S3) even i installed the same exact firmware that i had when i got the phone with the same kernel but got nothing :/ then i took it to where i bought it and he told me i can not install any rom on it and just the one i had on it then he took it for like an hour and it was working again... but its really bothering me! what's wrong? i want to install jelly bean or cyanogenmod but afraid to lose the service again i read its something related to radio or stuff? so any help please?? and here is a screenshot of my kernel and rom..
I think you might want to flash different modems and see what works best for you

One search before posting and read the faqs and guides before not after flashing .
Two it requires you to restore your backed up EFS as per the faqs and guides .
Not read the faqs and guides and no backed up EFS then you require a service centre .
#But you can try a factory reset and flash stock rom first .

Thanks for the advise. But I did one before posting. Nevertheless I will continue reading to find something useful

I need help,phone behaving strange.

Please i really need help.
I have searched the trouble shooting part of this forum but i didn't see anyone having the kind of problem i have now.
I was using leaked 4.2.2 when samsung released 4.3,and from there i updated to wanam lite 7.2(4.3).
after using 4.3 for some weeks i decided to go back to 4.2.2,after flashing 4.2.2 in Odin,i discovered that i have no gsm signal and mobile data and also a wrong Imei number,so i restored my backed up efs folder,rebooted and yet no network.
So i decided to delete the whole efs folder and replace with the one i backed up and after doing that i still did not get network.
i decided to installed an MG4 modem and after i did that i was able to get network and my imei number corrected itself too.
Now the strange problems am experiencing after going through the above includes;
1.after flashing a samsung stock 4.2.2 (in order to start afresh),my phone jumps the start up menu(where you find language selection,google signin etc) and go straight to home screen.
2.after a few seconds of loading the home screen i see a write up in yellow that never goes away unless am on another application(image attached).
3.if i press and hold the power button,instead of a pop up menu the phone shuts down.
4.any other rom that is not stock samsung based never boots.
5.i cant restore a previously made nandroid backup(it stops when restoring system)
with all the mentioned problems i can make and receive calls,use mobile data,also have a correct Imei.
i beg all the talented people here to help me out as i am not okay with the state of the phone....
Thanks,looking forward to your helpful posts,meanwhile i use a blue GT I9300,16gig.

I think this explains the aspect of not being able to install other roms , what about the screen shot I attached? .....the issue of jumping welcome page?

After update not registered

Hi,
i just updated mu galaxy s3 into jelly bean 4.3 ,,, and just got not registered on network
i download jelly bean 4.3 from sammobile and it's official
Any ideas
Depends on the history of your phone, most likely is previous imei/serial problems.
Best search for the scenario that best fits and possible solutions, patched modems etc.

Hi you have lost your imei & s/n along with all other bluetooth and wifi files.
Flash this file Generic EFS repair with odin (This would return you to Generic Imei and 0000 s/n).
That yellow icon would disappear but you need to get it repaired at a shop, online or send it to Samsung. There is no DIY method.
it helped with the serial number it has been restored but imei and signal not restored yet ,, any suggestion or help !!

too hard in egypt there is a stupid guys in mobile shops and samsung in egypt is full of thieves and money lovers
btw i discovered that your efs file fixed my serial number but its not the original serial its another numbers and letters !
It's generic i already told you because you do not have efs folder at all. You need to rebuild both and you can't DIY it.
For online remote repair you can try contacting this guy. For 10 Euro i think.
