I tried to flash a stock rom via odin but there's the same problem.
Imei is still fine.

I flashed 4.1.2 with modems and it works now. but i cant flash 4.3 without get this error? WHY?!
the whole stroy is: I changed IMEI in laboratory (they changed it to s2 imei, if this is important), because the Imei didn't work and after that I was trying reflash the SAME rom (HD Revolution) with full wipe and then get this network error.
What I tried:
reflash HD Revolution 51.0 with network error then flashed MG4 Modem that downloaded from somewhere then flashed zuluman patch and get null imei.
flashed stock 4.3 via odin>rooted>flashed custom 4.1.2(Gorgoid rom)+modems (XXDME4, DDEMG2)-didnt work>flashed MG4 Patch again>works.
How can I flash a 4.3 rom without get problems? I'M SICK OF IT!
*sorry for bad english, but pls need ur help guys i cant stick with 4.1.2 :S

Because MG4 roms and higher change your efs partition format if you stick above MG4 then your efs wil stay the same, where as if you go below, you will have to repair it and same goes if you wanna flash above MG4

[Q] After downgrading to 4.1.2 the IMEI changed to 0049

Hey guys,
Right now I have a problem with my IMEI on my S3.
I was on the leaked 4.3 but the performance wasnt that nice, so I downgraded my phone again to 4.1.2.
Now my IMEI Number changed to 0049, and I do not have any EFS backup.
I also read similar topics like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021 but nothing fixed my problem
I heard that it's possible to create a flashable zip and flash it again, but I dont know how to do it.
Hope you guys can help me,
thanks,
kool

no backup of the efs is difficult to recover the imei. 4.3 or try to re-flash a modem mg4 or higher. maybe you are lucky and recuepras imei. but you can try with kies, being a rom 4.0.4, .4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and expect to be updated, in some cases I've seen so solve it.

[Q] 4.3 updated but IMEI changed to 0000 and no signal detected!

HI, good day to all,
refer to the topic as above,
i have encountered EFS been wiped, IMEI changed to 0000, no network detected after upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.3 (I9300XXDXUGMK3).
i have tried anything that could helped such as flash MG4 modem, MK1 modem, MK6 modem but still the same. i cant try ARIZA PATCH because OS version is I9300XXDXUGMK3 not MG rom.
I need helps from someone that could bring back their network & IMEI return back. thx in advanced!:good:

First rule when flashing roms backup your efs! If you have no backup you have big problems see this sticky thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289 <<

hi tallman,
thx for your reply. i have checked that as well before come and posting here ask for helps. unfortunately, i have not backup the EFS folder as i thought the 4.3 update was safe without backup the EFS. any good idea to bring back the network & IMEI by flashing any modem? thx for understanding n helping!!!
If you've tried the sticky thread then you'll need a repair centre, go for a reputable one with right tools to enable 4.3 to work properly. Cheaper repairs downgrade the phone then use patches.
Your thread will probably be locked as it duplicates hundreds of other identical ones.
Post your question in the thread link I gave you it well be answered better.

[Q] Please help me out ASAP

Hi,
So I downloaded this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-revolutionary-s5-v3-buy-s5-t2602543 " ROM and everything seems well until I noticed that there is no signal. SIM Card is not being read by the ROM. I am new to the modding scene and I'd like a clear explanation on how I could fix this problem.
I have a International GT-I9300.
Do you have a valid IMEI? From which ROM did you come from?

I don't know what an IMEI is, but I firstly came from a normal rooted 4.1.2 firmware. It was a stock FW. But now, I use a " aokp_i9300_kitkat_nightly_2014-01-14 ". I'm switching around ROMs to experiment, and I seem to love the S5 ROM except that the mobile network won't work.
I've seen this as a solution ""If you don't have reception (no signal), here's a quick explanation: THANKS TO S0ul_
It means you flashed a new modem over the MG4 one. It's not a bug, that's because Samsung has changed the format of the EFS partition with the MG4 baseband and now the older modems (MC2, etc) can't read the IMEI from the EFS, hence the failure to register your phone in your carrier's network.
To fix this issue you need only to install MG4 modem from aroma installer"
But I do not know how to apply it on my phone.
bump.

You had to backup your EFS partition/folder before, try to search in sdcard if there is folder or file like efs_backup, efs.bak, efs.zip, efs.tar.gz etc maybe aroma did it.

Stop to flash any other rom. first try to search for that file or folder because the first rom you installed uses AROMA and MAYBE it did a efs backup, otherwise try to flash a pre MG4 modem to fix signal.

Don't flash or do anything else like restore an efs back until you guve more info.
You have not answered my question above. Is it only mobile internet you have issues with? Can you still use wifi, make calls, receive calls, send and receive texts? If you can do all of that your efs should be fine and it points to apn issues which can get mixed up when flashing roms.
@raksati
You need to read up on efs thread before giving such info, flashing a pre mg4 modem will solve nothing as it can only read efs V1, if he has indeed corrupted the efs then nothing will be able to read it.
What I think you ment was flash mg4 or above which can read V2 but this is only required if using 4.1.2 or an early 4.3 which no one should be using these days.
