So i flashed the 4.1.2 on my device and on another one (also a GS3).
while the other device works perefectly mine can't seem to register to the network and after checking it has the 0049 IMEI thing.
the thing is i flashed a rom that belonges to my country but dosn't have anything to do with any mobile operator.
so, now, what can i do to regain the ability to make phone calls again.
it does seem to be able to connect to the mobile network but its gives me the messege "Selected network (Pelephone) not available".
should I just try to flash the ROM that belonges to my mobile operator?? is there a way to just fix it while remaining with the ROM i already flushed?
thanks in advanced!
There is no instant solution, if flashing the latest 4.3 firmware doesn't solve the problem.
Search and read for the most likely things to try, backup your efs folder first.

is there any reason to backup the efs folder now?
There is never a reason to not backup the efs.

Can't find an easy way to back it up...
Can i do it wirhout rooting my device? Can't i just copy the folder from somewhere? Its not on the root of the device
also, there's this "0" folder in my device which has all the content from before the flush.
isn't it possible I can find the original esf folder in there?
Try to flash efs backup or efs_cwm updater.. you may need to flash modem too:good:

I don't have an EFS backup, I was foolish enough not to create one.
any way, can you explain better about these other things you told me to do?

You don't need a backup from your phone.. Just download file named efs_cwm_flasher.zip
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331853
You need to flash modem if that didn't work alone.. So u need to flash both of the files..
And to flash them you need a custom recovery..
For the other solutions it is a ROM I made that is based on 4.3 official touchwiz with good performance..

if you just want root (without CF kernel)
just use the usual updt.zip via recovery
it work
if you need the file (root and unroot zip available)

I think if you format all the partitions correctly in rfs manually (either using CWM or other tools) it should be fine
kinda risky..because dont know how to..
maybe ill just flashed asian xxjlc which is on full package 2.2.1..
then one package dxkc1 asian also then the kpd one package..
is that safe?
hope so..
this is the link to downgrade..is this safe also for us using cm7.1?

You will need stock recovery for the upd_1 method. Flashing apboot of the firmware using Odin should revert the recovery I think?
didnt get your last sentence..hehehe..
upd_1 works..i had experiment..tried it last night..hihihi..thanks..
works on stock on cf-root. thanks

If nothing works and your device is still under warranty then, go back to stock and be sure that your cell is not rooted. See that your IMEI no. is correct and in place and take it to MMX centre and get a brand new Canvas HD. I do this a lot.

Any update from this sir? I too have experience this issue after flashing custom rom my phone dont recognize 2nd sim.
I have S3 GT-I9300.
It's probably the 10th time I am asking for help on XDA. I have been trying to install CyanogenMod and other custom ROMs from 6 months with no luck. The problem is whenever I install 1 of the custom ROM I lose my network. I have also tried flashing the modem of JustArchi with no luck. I am dying to taste a custom ROM. It would be greatly appreciated if anybody would help.

Have you formated modem/efs ? I personally never done that allso make sure you're on the latest [insert recovery of choice here] version? Allso how can you have imei and network on samsung based rom and not have them on CM? Check on samsung rom if imei is the same as the one behind the battery or on the box you've bought your phone.

I dont know how I have formatted the modem/efs. I just wipe data cache before installing the rom. I am using philz_touch_6.48.4-i9300. The IMEI on the rom is same as that on the back of the phone.
Sorry I didn't notice that I posted in the wrong place. How am I supposed to move it to the right place.
This has been answered multiple times, there is a thread about that, it's all about patched kernel/modem, also, you're posting this in wrong forum, there is Q&A for that!
Use boeffla and patched modem, but first return to stock, i guarantee it will work.
Steps:
Flash stock: Stock 4.3
Flash Boeffla (sammy version): Boeffla 5.3
Flash patched modem. Modem
-> Till here you got to have your network back.
Then flash your desired AOSP ROM, and then flash a patched kernel like Boeffla (for AOSP, but watch out, there are CM and Omni based roms, so is Boeffla kernel, if you use CM, download for CM), because only patched kernel can read a patched modem. When you do that you don't have to flash patched modem again because CM/AOSP based ROMs do not wipe modem.
And remember BACKUP EFS
And if IMEI is ok you don't have to restore EFS, you only restore it when your imei is 0000... or 0049..., for Emergency calls only and Baseband unknown follow my steps.
Just follow these steps and you're good to go.
Someone should make this sticky.

Well, no, you can flash any stock rom, as long it is 4.3 based, you can see that under this thread you have many more stock, deodexed cwm falshable roms based on 4.3 by JustArchi, i linked you that because it is easier to flash in CWM then via Odin, but again, your choice.
As off Boeffla, here you can download all versions, recmmended are latest stable:
http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/2012-10-31-06-13-16
You can see there are for Samsung 4.3/4.4, and Omnirom based or CM based all the way down. (double check if you will run omnirom or cm based rom).
