i9300 locked after update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people, so my brother gave me today his galaxy s3 to update it. He had 4.0.4 i update it to the last version i know the 4.3 'ZTA-I9300UBUGNB1-20140321150530' 'I9300UBUGNB1_I9300ZTAUGNA2_I9300UBUGMK1_HOME.tar' It from the mobile carrier Claro brazil.
Well i didnt noticed anything since because the sim card wasnt inserted. And today when i inserted it it the phone was locked.I did the same thing to my s3 and it didnt lock. I tried using the galasy s unlock apk but it didnt work same with voodoo and other apps. Imei shows normal.
I tried with the *#197328640# and i get menu not exist current command is 186.
So should i try with sammobile. What could have gone wrong??
P.D i downgraded to 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4_I9300PHEEMG2_PHE <--- Unbranded And still the same error

You cannot unlock 4.3 because of efs v2 problem implemented by Samsung you would need to have a copy of your efs v1 from 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 and flashback to 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 then restore that efs then unlock with GalaxySim unlock or similar software..

i always do the efs backup first but this time. i just dont know why i didnt backup the efs when i was on 4.0.4 i made it when i upgraded to 4.3. I guess i'll just try with the z3x box

Afaik that won't work either.

Rooting your phone doesn't change your firmware.. You're still on the stock firmware unless you flashed a new rom. Goto settings>about device> and see your build.. Then goto Sammobile and downlaod the rom that is listed for Panama and matches your carrier or build whichever. Download it and flash it rom via Odin and you'll be unrooted.
though i don't see any point in unrooting. Rooted is always better.

Did you check IMEI number?
read general > Sticky roll-up thread > IMEI / EFS

Now I put 4.3 back and I have no problem with network and the IMEI is the original one.
It's possible to find this version? I9300MBDORO
I didn't use custom rom, only official stuff.
I need 4.1.2 back because if something happend with phone i have warranty and i think i can't take the pone to service with another firmware.

SIM card wont register on phone.

Hey all..
I had a weird thing happen to me today, my s3 GT-i9300 wont register the sim at all it all started when I flashed 4.3 from 4.0 today I've tried everything possible to get the sim to register. In all honesty, I've become discouraged and would be happy to just get back to stock rom... at least the network was working. lol
Originally I bought this s3 in HONG KONG, the baseband version that I flashed 4.3 is from Kazakhstan.. So I went over to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 and found that TGY (Hong Kong) has 3 firmwares: I9300ZSUBNB1- 4.3- 26.02.2014 and I9300ZSEMK3- 4.1.2- 06.11.2013 and I9300ZSEMC1- 4.1.2- 11.03.2013
Question: Which one do I use? and what would be the steps in fixing this problem?
Heres my info:
IMEIs match on BOTH in status of phone and on the back of the phone
Im currently on 4.3 Android Version
Current Baseband version: I9300xxugna8 [Kazakhstan]
Cell phone carrier: Mobilicity (Which is owned by Rogers)
Thanks for all the patience and help in advance.
Cheers.
Nevermind gents, found the solution. ANDDDDDDD the best part is.. I can stick with the 4.3... [sarcastic YAY]
Solution thanks to the folks at AndroidVeterans
Maybe the ROM you used is not Stable 100% that's why u faced that problem. So the solution is to back to your stock ROM with the official baseband that it was installed before you upgrade. in my opinion if you flashed a stock ROM with the wrong baseband can make your device unsupportable to the network (even you flashed many ROMs the problem will still exists)

Don't panic bro ,international S3 had this problem on updating manually , not for custom roms only for stock 4.3
The only solution is z3x box , it can be only done using that box :good:
You have to only repair network from it
