Did your phone work normally on stock 4.3 or did you have to use patched modem and kernel to gain network?
Did the custom rom install a modem or use the existing?
Full wipe and factory reset before flashing?

I recommend installing latest PhilZ recovery then use the option in settings to install a new rom this wipes everything you need for a clean install then flash the rom in recovery don't use cm installer..

I don't have a SD Card so where am I supposed to put the rom?
I guess full wipe will also delete the rom.
Also, should I root the device first?

If you don't have a ext Sd card don't try my suggestion! I would only ever advise a full wipe if you have a ext sd card just in case anything goes wrong plus like you said where would you put the rom. I would strongly suggest you getting a ext card no matter how small if you are flashing roms.

Very strangeGlad to see you got a a ext sd card this will save you a lot of trouble in the future..
The steps I would take now would be after you have installed your 4.4 rom boot it up then reboot into recovery and flash a separate modem you could use one >> https://mega.co.nz/#!PQZDiRYY!V3pk5H24zuhI4xmE-RvF5gRKJ9N4ECg9YqEg09neX84 << and see if that works.
Also did you backup your efs when you where on stock 4.3 if not flash stock then backup your efs then try the steps above....

No, I didn't make a backup of efs
I also want to mention one thing
Currently, I have 4.1.2 installed on my s3
Since my network was not working so I flashed the stock rom
Should I make a backup of efs on 4.1.2 or should I upgrade to 4.3 and then make a backup of EFS?

Now you have confused me even more! I thought you said in your previous post that you had connection on 4.3 stock rom if so why are you on 4.1.2 ?. Stock rom 4.3 is efs v2 and stock rom 4.1.2 is efs v1 if you have no connection on 4.3 then this is your problem you still have efs v1 which will not work on 4.3 or any of the newer roms please confirm that you have a signal on 4.3 stock rom.

Ok that's good it means you are on v2 efs which is good..I just needed to confirm that you had v2 efs I thought you might have been on 4.1.2 because of no signal.
I must admit this is a strange one because the asop roms,omni roms etc don't change your baseband which can effect your signal.There is one more option you could try use this patched modem >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-firmware-i9300xxemg4-t2377731/post43946365 << by JustArchi look at post 15. Flash your rom then boot into it then reboot into recovery and then flash JustArchi modem see if that works.(Even though I don't think that is the problem)
Also your efs make sure you back it up preferably when you are on 4.3 stock rom.

Hey guys i have been having some signal problems with my ace, but I only have them when inside my house. This started happening when I flashed gingerbread 2.3.5 to get a custom rom for my Ace (which is awesome btw!) the rom I am currently using is WP7 Rom by Jinavs. I have googled & searched a lot and all I found was a code to change the GSM too 900/1800 but I tried the code and it said that it was invalid, the code is *#2263#. Then I read something about changing the phone's modem is this possible on custom firmware? I never had any problems when I was on Stock Froyo 2.2.1. Any help guys?
Also master reset or factory reset does not work :/
what I do sometimes is airplane mode or turn off the phone and it sometimes works
and it only happens inside my house it works fine in any other place.
Any help will be appreciated

create a cwm backup then. the point of reflashing stock rom is to get correct modem for your region. after that u can just restore the cwm backup, it wont overwrite the modem.

Thank you for helping me...
i9300 is the international phone, so yes.
The installled ROM, kernel and baseband are irrelevant if you want to change ROM.

Any recommendation stable and fast ROM for me?
Another question if I want to flash to OMEGA 7.0 ROM can I just simply flash from my phone setup now : IMM76D.I9300XXALF6? Because ROM OMEGA 7.0 they use Based on XXALF5...Should I downgrade to XXALF5 then flash rom to OMEGA 7.0 or I can straight away flash base on my current setup?
Still learning and learning and learning and learning....Please don't dont giveup teaching me...hehehe...
Read and follow directions of the Rom you choose. Make sure you do backup first then,if you don't like it you can go back or flash another. Runs are pretty subjective and cater for a variety of tastes so hard to recommend one. Most want super fast with best battery life but there is a trade off

You should always factory-reset when changing Rom's.
It thus doesn't matter what ROM and version you come from and go to.

I'm still running ALE8 with Siyahkernel. Works great after a few customizations and tweaks applied as found here in the forum. Most ROM's have trade-off's (e.g. they want to slim it down and remove libraries or features I consider worth it)
You won't see a real performance difference between Samsung-based ROM's.
Actually you _WILL_ see a difference at the beginning since your phone is then again factory-new without lots and lots of apps and background services.

Can I flash an updated firmware jellybean 4.3 on my s3? Or is it advisable to just flash the 4.1.2 that was official release on my region which is from the philippines??. The reason why I'm looking for advice bec. I accidentally wiped my internal storage thru twrp, and with no back up flashing a stock firmware I think is my only choice??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You seem to be missing some basic knowledge, wiping internal storage makes no difference to rom -unless you formatted system, in which case you'll need to flash something.
If your local 4.1.2 rom is at least emg4 then you can update to latest euro 4.3 then flash your local modem for best results. If your local modem is earlier than emg4 then stay on 4.1, otherwise you'll get updated to efs v2 with no compatible modem.
Backup efs before you flash, factory reset before first boot.

when you can get upto date with android why worrying about 4.3 or 4.1

if you can still enter the recovery,try downloading a flashable rom, place it in an external card, and flashing it from external card..TWRP and CWM can support flashing from external card
if that fails flash this, it's safe but you'll have to go back to zero..that's the latest firmware for i9300

Hi, there.
I would like to flash a Touchwiz Based 4.4.4 ROM for the International Version of Galaxy S3 (i9300). Currently it is running Android 4.1.2 stock rooted and TWRP installed.
So I wanted to ask aside from the regular flashing procedure if there is any other precaution to be taken.
I will definitely update to TWRP 2.8.6.1. Please let me know if any other file is to be flashed so as to avoid Bricking.
For Eg. Modems, Bootloaders or any other such files. Also feel free to suggest a 4.4 T/W Rom
Thank You.

Make a back up of your current rom,back up everything you need, wipe factory reset in recovery and install 4.4.4.
Make sure to read the instructions in the OP of the rom you want to install eg blekota note4

Thanks for replying sir. But are you 100% sure that I will not have to flash any modem before flashing Blekota. I've seen a lot of problems of people out here. Some losing EFS. Some losing IMEI. I do not doubt you at all but I would like to exercise precaution on my behalf.
Also My current Baseband Version as it appears in the Settings is DDELK1. So do I need to update it ? Also I won't have problems like Losing My IMEI or Simcard not being detected, Right ?
Thanks Again.
@x0nar: you're right. Flashing a custom-ROM with modem MG4 or newer will mess up your IMEI /net access. So go back to old firmware, fe ELLA, and update via OTA or KIES to JB 4.3. This changes your efs-data version 1 into version 2. Make sure, you have a modem N** afterwards. The you can root again and flash KK or LP-ROM.

Never Mind. Already ****ed it up. Flashed Blekota and initially I lost my IMEI. Flashed MJ3 Modem recovered it but no network. Says only Emergency calls Available.
Also flashed MG2 still no progress yet. And you know what the biggest problem is ? The device does not even belong to me. My friend requested me to update it and I messed it up. Any recourse ? The area of my residence is India. Could you please tell me which modem to flash ?.
Thanks
@x0nar: sad. Maybe your efs-data are currupt now. My only suggestion is to flash ELLA-firmware, hoping that OTA-update or KIES rewrite them.
The only right thing in the naive advice of Siberian Tiger is to make a backup. Did you? Then restore 1st.

Yeah. I did an EFS Backup. Even after restoring, the IMEI still was reflecting "Unknown".
But Never Mind, fortunately it gained a revival after Flashing the MJ3 Radio. However it would not connect to Mobile Network. So I flashed several other Radios and it's all set now and everything works just fine. Thanks for your help
@x0nar: then you belong to the lucky few, fine. But I meant a full backup of /boot, /system, /data. Do this before you experiment with KK.
