i think there is nothing you cant do bro, either you downgrade to 4.1.2 or use other provider like esia or gsm.
i know it sucks cause i was in your shoes just couple days ago, thats when i decided to change carrier.

Thanks, I am rooted back from the vrall4 with no ota's taken. But I also never had to odin to newer firmware to flash a rom so I was hoping it wouldn't hurt me and still be able to run a 4.1 2 rom after the 4.3 firmware flash. Good to know!

i assume you're using GSM? did you set the phone to GSM mode? as for SMS you need to add APN's to make that work. as for your baseband? what's wrong with it? seems fine.

First Thanks for your answer!!!
Yes Im a GSM network I tried to set It in GSM using all methods found but still in CDMA. Previously I backed up before install CM10, so I restored that backup installed Titanium Backup and backed up all APN found in the list, restore de CM10 backup, reinstall Titanium Backup and tried to restore APN but didn´t work.... How can I do?
Thanks for your help.

Hi I just install the latests Th3bill's CM10 and select GSM Mode but It didn't work... What can I do? How add APN's to make that work?
Thanks
Open the voice dialer and say"Open APN's" and the APN list will open up. From there add/edit the APN's to what they should be. Make sure you save your changes and reboot when finished.
This is a bug of the CM10 bill version 11/04. wait to solve gsm.

[Q] Not recognising SIM card after upgrade to Jelly bean 4.1.2

Hi there,
First of all I want you guys to know that I am not really experienced. My English is not my main language so please forgive me for grammar mistakes.
Okay, so this is a long story but I will try to summarize it clearly. First I wanted to update the firmware but failed, so I got my phone bricked. Then I have managed to un-brick it and also put a new stock ROM on it. Everything worked fine except it didn't recognize the SIM card. Then I got frightened and since I am not experienced and didn't really know what I was doing (and I didn't want to cause more harm) I brought my phone to a local service where they fixed it by rooting it and putting back the old 2.3.5 gingerbread version (which was on the phone originally). Now it was recognizing the SIM card and everything was fine. But I really wanted a new firmware and I tried to update it from the phone with OTA updates. Everything went fine and it updated the phone to Jelly bean 4.1.2 but again, it is not recognising the SIM card.
So long story short: I have a rooted galaxy s2 GT-I9100 (unlocked), and after firmware update to 4.1.2 it is not recognising my SIM card. It can't be a hardware issue because it is working with the older firmware version. I have even got a new SIM card becuase the previous one was really old but it didn't help.
I was thinking maybe I should try to install a newer version ROM. I would really like to use Jelly bean and I don't want to go back to gingerbread only if there is no other option...
So what do you think? What should I do to fix this issue?
Thanks for help!

is the sim card not detected or there is no signal?
Try flashing a different stock jellybean firmware mate
There are many jb firmwares out there and there is no need to revert back to gb

then as i mentioned earlier try a different stock jb or a custom rom
The problem must be solved
It doesnt look like a corupt efs file if so then the sim card should be detected with no signal

[Q] Updating to 4.3, unlocked phone

Hi there, I got S4 from Verizon, and im using it in europe, lets say that phone is unlocked for using other SIM card (non verizon),
My question is, can i flash it with stock verzion 4.2 (now im using Hyperdrive rom) with odin, and than do the OTA update to 4.3?
Of Course i dont want to lock my phone to verizon SIM... can that happen with OTA update?

None of the stock updates have blocked the use of non-Verizon SIMs. If you are still on build MDK, there's ROMs available with 4.3 that won't cause your bootloader to be updated - you should consider that.
Baseband - I545VRUAMDK, Bulild number - I545VRUAME7...
Now im on Hyperdrive Rom - RLS10
Once i did flash the stock system with odin 4.2 version, and i didnt lock my phone.
Which ROM is based od 4.3 ?
Thank u guys

Repair Shop updated my firmware :( help please

Hi,
i turned my s3 in to samsung repair because it was dead. I got it back today.
They fixed my dead memory and updated my firmware to 4.3.
I lost root and the sim is locked now.
How do I root it and unlock sim?
Preferably i'd love to flash unbranded and unlocked german firmware over it but
i dont remember how and i dont know if it'd kill the phone.

Need any other info?
thanks a lot

Unless you have a backup of your original efs before upgrade then I don't think this is possible..You would need to downgrade to 4.1 stock rom then restore efs from 4.1 backup then unlock.. Unfortunately you cannot sim unlock 4.3 firmware..( although there is a link floating about somewhere linking to a paid site saying they have solved the issue) but I have not seen any reports on here saying they have solved it..

Model Country/Carrier Date Version PDA CSC Kies
GT-I9300 Germany 2013 December 4.3 I9300XXUGMK6 I9300DBTGMK2
So its confirmed that site is bogus?

thanks for your time
You cannot flash non-verizon ROMs unless they have been ported. As far as connecting to your network, you must have the correct radios AND the APN settings, which vary by carrier.
