Hello,
I have samsung galaxy s3
Model number : GT-I9300
Android Version : 4.4.2
Baseband Version : I9300XXUGNA8
Kernel Version : 3.0.64-CM-g992f0e8
[email protected] #1
Cyanogenmod version : 11.0
I have called to get a code to unlock my phone but It doesn't work, I've also paid on a website to get a code but it's the same as the first one.
I still have my IMEI what's wrong ? I'm under Cyanogen and even when I was on 4.3 - I9300XXUGNA5 It didn't work too
How can I fix that ? Thanks
Go back to the correct stock firmware for your country, factory reset then try again. If it's a valid code and your efs isn't damaged then it should work.

Hmm..It doesn't work
is there a way to check if my efs is damaged ?
I'm so desesperate, I don't know what's wrong... All of this because of that stupid 4.3 and I forgot to save my efs folder before the update
and thing is I've tried to put the code more than 10 times, and why my phone is still not blocked ?
This is so weird...

I have just bought a used O2 I9100P, O2 UK model.
When I connect with kies to update from GB 2.3.5 I get:
"your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
Anyone else had this problem?
My device is identified on Kies as... PDA:KJ4 PHONE:KI3 CSC:KJ2 (XXX)
On device info:
PDA : I9100PXXKJ4
PHONE : I9100PXXKI3
CSC : I9100PO2UKJ2
Further to this when I enter *2767*4387264636#
I get:
SELLOUT SMS
[1]Sellout SMS: OFF
[2]PCode:Not Active
[3]Moderod
I also have noticed the imei on about phone does not match the sticker inside the phone.
The phone seems to not be rooted. Could the previous owner have flashed a rom which changed the IMEI? I have no experience with rooting and flashing.
Any help with getting this phone back to stock GB or ICS and the correct IMEI would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply and taking the time, the phone works perfectly and it is a Public model according to the about phone section, also it has nfc in settings and it works when I enable it.
Is your imei this one?
004999010640000
If so then you have my phone!

Take out the battery. The sticker on the backside of the phone should give you correct model no.
I have a I9100P and mine says that, on the sticker along with IMEI No & serial No.
Does the IMEI No match your phone," dial *#06#

The IMEI on the sticker inside the phone does not match the one that comes up when I dial *#06#
Also the IMEI appearing on screen is not the standard 004999010640000.
The one on screen ends 787 the one on the box ends 777.
Sound like your imei is corrupted.

If I flashed the official I9100P O2 ICS ROM using Odin, would my phone be fixed in terms of being able to recieve future updates from Kies or OTA?
Someone also had mentioned checking the boot display to see if I9100P or I9100 appears and it does appear as I9100P - see attached.
Thanks again.

yes you will be able to recieve updates from kies.
I have the Orange I9100P and yes thats what you get on the boot display, however if you flash the old bootloader, you will just get I9100 displayed instead. You will stll have all the NFC funtions though.
here is the 02 latest i9100p ICS firmware.

Thanks for the link, I had been reading that thread and, I have went ahead and flashed ICS with Odin, it's working fine so far.
Hi Everyone,
I know there are a few thread around with the same purpose, but nothing helped me. I even did ping few members who claimed to have known the problem, to my bad, they are busy to reply me. So i thought i would start a new thread explaining my problem.
I got a new Galaxy GT I9300 Before 3months in Singapore, The shop is famous for selling smuggled phones, so i am not sure to which country mine belongs to. There was no network initially, so the shopkeeper offered his help, He gave the mobile to a nearby service centre and got it ready,
I am not sure what he did, but d phone had CWM and Super User. I already own a Galaxy S2 and i have done a lot of flashing Custom MOD's, So i wanted my Galaxy S3 to be original for a while. So i tried to restore by flashing a official firmware, To my surprise the phone didnt have any network in it after the ODIN flash. I tried an INDIAN firmware, then Singapore.
I tried CWM (which i am not a pro) but couldn get back the network. I went back to the service centre and he told some files are corrupted since i flashed the phone with official firmware.
He again flashed it, now the network works, voila ! I couldn figure out and he wouldn tel me. ****ing $40 !!! The phone had CWM and SuperUser installed in it again.
The phone had the following information after wat ever he did.
IMEI - 3531*********99 it is same in d board and in the phone information.
MODEL NUMBER - GTI9300

Can anyone please infer on what the service guy had done. so that i can update my phone to JB. I am sick and bored of the same firmware for over 4 months and i wanna change it. But i dont want to get struck in the same issue. Please help and advance thanks !
I am afraid you had bad luck
1. You should NEVER pay for stuff that does not work (and is not with original firmware).
2. You should also read this - it is almost certainly the same story (in your case SN 00000000 should also give a strong clue things are not what they should):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34226179
3. Since whoever f***ed those things the first time on your phone did not make an efs image-backup you can never return to factory state!
4. You are basically stuck with a phone where you will have to apply a patched modem after each ROM upgrade.
when you say patched modem what do you mean.?
Patched modem ???
When u say patched modem, can u explain tat ? Is it possible to create one by ourself ?

A patched modem apparently is modem code that does not check all the stuff in the efs partition (for instance when SN is 00..00) - I am currently using the one posted by ariza somewhere around. Patching one might be quite complex and for the moment I did not have the time to research that. The only problem that I see is that certain providers are said to be using very unusual modem code (since they have unusual settings in their own network) - and in that case you need to use a patched version of that specific modem version - but so far I have not seen that happening in a very repeatable way in posts from european networks.
The other problem is that when you install any full ROM (for instance 4.1.2) that will overwrite your modem - so you will have to re-install the old patched modem (so far ariza_v04.zip seems to work OK with 4.1.2 on my operator's network).
Serial no 000000...
Thousands of Thanks man, I have been facing the same problem from last few days after flashing cwm6 and UltraRom. hi can you please suggest me an modem for Samsung Galaxy s3 I9300 Indian version.

Hi,
I am a noob to XDA and this is my first post, please dont be mean!! I recently bought a galaxy s2 unlocked version from amazon.com and when i received it i flashed in the new leaked jellybean rom:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I9100XXLS6
Kernel version: 3.0.21-462349

SMP PREEMPT
Build number: JZO54K.I9100XXLSJ
After flashing this new rom my IMEI number had been reset and i am currently getting no network service. The samsung SRS tool is not picking up my phone for some unknown reason to let me reset the IMEI number. Before flashing the new rom i did not take stock of what the original rom was!! Is there anyway to know what the stock rom was before flashing?
Please help!!!!
Well if it was the factory unlocked version, my guess is you had stock unbranded gingerbread.
unbranded

When you say, your IMEI number has been reset, I think, the efs folder got corrupted. its where the phone data like IMEI number is stored.
And if you want to flash stock kernel, you can visit this site, but I'm not sure how you can retrieve this efs folder data.
Regards,
Hereticnine.
Your IMEI is also printed on the sticker beneath your phones' battery.
Your probably seeing the sim lock bug and getting confused. if you flash the leaked JB rom your sim lock will be enabled so you will need to use a unlock app.
Use search, we have plenty of topics that cover this since JB leak.
and then some.....

yea i know it is but the imei number behind the battery and the one i am seeing when i dial *#06# are different. i am seeing alot of 9999's and 000's in it..when i googled it i saw it was some sort of manufacturer's default imei or something. i flashed in an unbranded uk rom xwlp7 but when i try to root it using cf-root it is not working now!!!
i have Samsung Galaxy s2 gt-i9100(rooted), since last 2 year its working perfectly but suddenly 1 week ago it displayed no network and null imei ,unknow baseband. i have never tried to flash ROM or something like that so how did it happen?.
in efs folder it contain all files.
so is there any way to get out of this problem.

I check the imei and this is i545.. CLOSED!! and new thread about the trouble..
Not sure what you mean by "identify" your phone, but from what I understand NC5 bootloader means no CM, TWRP, ASOP, etc. You're option other than leave the phone alone is Safestrap and flash TW based ROM's.
