Hello

Mobile is android version 4.3
First i install a new rom form Bulgarian operator and then i install CF-AutoRoot

see the picture (in attach)
mat be have way do downgread old version ?
please help me
Thank you so much

I don't think its possible to unlock network with efs v2 that I know of. 4.3 is v2.
.
ok but may be is possible to downgreade android version ?
but haw ?
It's not the android version it's the change from esf v1 to v2. Do you have an old efs back up? Only way back is to have an old efs v1 back up.
.
i understand. Can I get a backup to another phone (S3) or should be just only my phone with my IMEI number?
or just i flash with old firmware ? and efs to change on v2 to v1 ?
I've been reading and no you're stuck atm. You can't use another imei folder in you're phone.
.
Found firmware version 4.1.2
I was able to flash the phone with her, then I downloaded the program and ruutnah GalaxySIM Unlock.
It gives me that the status of the phone is unlocked, but it is not. Still wants code of the network.
Any ideas?
Mate flash any firmware you want but you will still have efs v2 which means you're stuck. Do not go back to ICS firmware or you may end up with a brick. SDS on ICS.

is there a way to change from efs v2 to v1 and how?
thank you
No. No bk up no going bk. Samsung put this in place to lock phone's to carrier's. Little bit like Knox . its there and no one can get rid of this. Same as with you're problem. No one has been able to mod this in some way. Sorry.

Hi,
I sent my phone back to samsung for micro usb port fix.. (for the 2nd time)
But this time when i recived my phone they updated it to ICS on 02 firmware... i didnt ask for it and im on Orange?? My phone was unbranded and worked on all nextworks
I cant use my phone i get the SIM Nextwork unlock code message!
I thought changing to a custom rom would get rid of it but never.. samsung will take phone back to have a look but i cant remember what the firmware was so they will know ive installed a custom rom..
Anyway ive tried chainfires app and it didnt find a code and the other app from market witch didnt help
Can anyone help? i can provide my nv_data.bin if needed. i wanna fix it my self at the moment as i didnt note what version they sent me it was lp3 i think but the kernal name looks different...
Any help will be great

hello everyone,
I'm currently using the stock orange france version of i9300....And yesterday, when I tried to flash the 4.1.1 official Jelly Bean i9300DLIB...everything seemed to be find, the signal is still there....BUT IT'S HOPELESS FOR ME TO MAKE ANY CALLS OR MESSAGES-not registered in network T^T....even through the signal is full and my phone can easily detect the SIM card
After that pain, I tried to find my way back to the stock rom from downloading (i forgot to do the nandroid backup but only imei backup) and all i found out is the "No signal" sign (circle with a cross) and it's still useless to make phone calls and messages before and after i restored the imei.
please help T^T....I'm one of many victims including my friends...

Hi guys. Im having a problem with my phone. After reflashing a stock rom from cynogenmod, my phone locked up on it's own. The serial number is also gone. Im currently in singapore, and only realise that my phone is actually an export set from poland. Ive flashed a singapore rom. I dont have a backup of my efs file. And will everything be okay after flashing to a poland rom? Or will everything stilll remaine the same?
Im currently on 4.0.4 ICS with the baseband version of i9100DXLPB. Help is kindly appreciated..
well you can try flashing a poland rom
as well as using simlock app
and also the gs2 repair app from store to restore efs/imei if possible

Hi all. I have Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. My phone is locked to UK Orange i guess and I live in Lithuania so I cant use my phone. I want to unlock my phone by code, but my ROM is custom.
My ROM: I9300XXEMC2
Android version: 4.1.2
And here's my questions:
1. What is stock ROM of my phone or should I download UK version or Baltic one (I live in Baltic country)?
2. Is there any possibility, that the code will not work?
3. And how to unlock my phone step by step?

I have tried all these apps and none of them works.
Also my Phone says: Current command is 186
Bump!
Guys, I really need help!
Applications and patches no longer work, if your phone has firmware later than EMG4. Search and read for more information, others with the same issue.

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..

I managed to flash unbranded german 4.3 to it via odin. now i got
Model Country/Carrier Date Version PDA CSC Kies
GT-I9300 Germany 2013 December 4.3 I9300XXUGMK6 I9300DBTGMK2
So its confirmed that site is bogus?
UPDATE: I actually just found my backups on an old hdd. I got a "Nandroid Backup" and "EFSProBackup" folder with file(s).
I do not know which android version i used back then.
thanks a lot.
