Hey Guys,
im crying, cause in my whole life I had never a problem which I cant solve. :crying:
The Story:
I started my phone and got a wounderful bootloop which forced me to flash a new firmware (firmware before: cyanogen mod 11)
I flashed a Stock Rom: Android 4.3 DBT and tried to backup before, but the clockworkmod recovery wont let me, it cancled at
the System Point.
So I have just a Backup with a uncompleted system tar (but which I can open with 7zip), a boot.img and a recovery.img.
NO esf.img. I did not know that the IMEI could get destroyed after a flash, so I thought it would be no problem if I flash anyway,
cause I had no other opportunity.
Now I'm googlin for like 3 Days and tried every possible Soultion, flashed again, flashed root, done the 9step fix,
done the hex fix, ... I think I did everything, but nothing worked. My only "success" was to get a 0049 IMEI.
Which is not really a success.
The Problem:
No IMEI, or just 0049 and *#1234# says that I have no IMEI Certificate.
What can I do? Is there any fix out there, which can help me or does life force me to give up the tons of hours I lost for
this **** and send it to a repair service? Can I send it then to Samsung repair service?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Btw.: Sorry for the bad english, it is not my mother language.
Before flashing CM11 you were on stock 4.0.4 / 4.1.1 / 4.1.2 or 4.3 ?

I had MIUI before I flashed CM11 with the CM installer.
And before I flashed anything, the Version was one before 4.3, I think it was 4.2.
But I updated the firmware over the android updater, maybe it was at the beginning where I bought it 4.0 or 4.1.
Is this important?

Yes if you have moved/flashed from any version below 4.0 4.1 4.2 etc to 4.3 then your efs has changed from v1 to v2 read this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289 << tip try flashing the efs v2 aroma zip file in the thread with a custom recovery

*sigh* You realize when you say "I downloaded this..." without providing what "this" is is pretty useless for us to help you troubleshoot?
What update WERE you on before you started modifying the phone?
What did you download and install?
What modem / baseband version is installed?
Wifi and phone functions are most likely not working because you either downloaded the wrong thing or didn't follow the installation instructions correctly. Typically this would be because of mismatched modem and kernel or there's a patch that needs to be installed.
Usually I would just say install the newest stock firmware (4.4.2) through Odin, but depending on what update the phone had originally and if you plan on continuing to customize your phone, it might be better to stick on an older system as the newer ones really lock down the ATT version.
Long story short: Help us help you. Provide ALL the details about what's going on and we can probably get you fixed up easily enough.

I337MVLUFNC1_880525_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI i installed this rom , i was on kit kat 4.4.2. and i installed gummy rom which did not work , then realized i lost the @#$#@% backup here is what it says under about device: model sgh1337m

You really NEED to read the rules for xda. You don't obey the rules, in this post you are in need of help. Soo.. why put it in themes and apps??
[Q] "No Servicce" and "Baseband Unknown" after flashing CM 11 on i9300
BACKGROUND:
The plan was to flash Resurrection Remix for S3 and go from stock JB to Lollipop on my GT i9300. However, incessant bootlooping made me change my mind and I decided to settle for CM11. CM11 works like a charm except that I have "No Service" problem and "Baseband Unknown". I did do a Nandroid backup prior to all this.
WHAT HAVE I DONE SO FAR?
I was reading up on this and similar threads show that I must flash a modem. There was a list of modems on another XDA thread but it stated that these will work with stock JB only so no luck there.
How do I get the phone to recept the signal again?
MISC:
ROM: cm-11-20150323-NIGHTLY-i9300
Recovery : twrp-2.8.6.0-i9300
Region : India

I´ve had the exact same issue. After not having signal with Blekota Note 4 Lite V4, tried installing CM 11 and now I have no baseband. No solution yet.
Flash full stock firmware for your country then factory reset. If still the same then restore your efs backup.

Solved it. However, WhatsApp no longer works. It doesn't send me an SMS verification after having switched back to stock from CM 11. Thoughts?
Hi.
EDIT: My phone is a GT-I9300 bought in Denmark (So I guess International).
So yesterday I installed this custom rom from Android 4.3 to Unofficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Here is the article: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/5-1-x-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3066864). I got it installed with no problems but then I discovered that I had no 3G (data connection). My IMEI and APN was fine and it could recognize my carrier (Telenor Denmark). I tried installing more than 5 different flashed modems but with no luck. So, today I installed the stock Android 4.1.2 official ROM and the 3G was working perfectly again. I then tried installing CM 12.1 again, but the same error occurred. I have no problems making calls and sending text messages, and WIFI works too.
Could someone lead me in the right direction to solving this error?
Thank you in advance.
Andreas B. Ostergaard
If you had official 4.3 in the beginning there is no way you can get a signal or 3g if you go back 4.1.2 except somewhere in the past you restored your old 4.1.2 efs backup. If you have signal in 4.1.2 this means you still have efs v1. Since cm12 doesnt change your efs or modem you may still have network. Your 3g problem may be efs v1. Install official 4.3 first and update your efs to v2 then install a clean cm12 and try again.

Hi. Thanks for your answer.
I know this is a stupid question, but how do I update my EFS?
Thank you.
Andreas.
If you install official 4.3 through odin, it will update automaticly.

Okay but then I don't really understand because I have already updated once to 4.3 OTA (or via Kies maybe) before I began installing custom roms. Shouldn't that be the same as using Odin?
Best regards.
Andreas.
I never updated via ota or kies before and never even used kies before (no needed). Also I use my s3 rooted since day one. So maybe (i say maybe because i really dont know) ota updates might keep your efs unupdated. (Since it is an update not the whole package).
Download an official 4.3 from sammobile.com and try and see. (Nothing to lose anyway)

And also these are the cleaning scripts for s3. They will wipe clean your entire phone even the system and any kernel leftovers. Use them before installing any custom roms because cm and sammy roms are completly different roms and any leftovers can make problems to your system..
@AndreasX12: Failing 3g-access has nothing to do with IMEI/efs-issues, but may be a CM-issue. So, if you've still your correct IMEI and network access with 4.3-firmware, (backup your efs-data and the whole system and) try simply another AOSP-ROM, Omni or Euphoria fe.
Recommended updating path from stock 4.3 leads through 10.2, 11 and ad last 12.1.
If you have stock 4.3 download stable cm10.2 and flash it through recovery twice and reboot. You can skip cm11 than and flash cm 12 or cm12.1.
Cm10.2 is the first one cyanogenmod which change partition layout a bit.
Converting between efs 1 and efs 2 is possible and recommended on stock firmwares by flashing corresponding modem version by Odin. It also have place while flashing whole rom through Kies, Odin or Heimdall.
To omit future 3g errors flash roms without sim card onboard.

Thank you all for your answers.
Special thanks to rp158. I have installed OmniROM instead so it was a problem with the CM12.1 unofficial build.
Best regards,
Andreas.
Hello!
Phone Gt-i9300
So i was happily using omnirom for 1 year until my motherboard died last week
so i ordered a new board. i installed it, it was on 4.1.2 unlocked, and i decided to update it without making a efs backup! so dumb!
So i installed a 4.3 Stock ROM, no signal so i had to install
-Patched XXUFMJ9 kernel
- Patched BUUGMJ3 modem
So i can use my phone with no problems in STOCK....
BUT. I hate STOCK..
I have tried to flash omniroom 4.4.4, but it says unknown baseband, uknown imei.. i tried installing omniroom and then installed again the patched modem buugmj3 and ofcourse nothing happened...
So.. my question is.. Am I forced to stick with this TouchWiz Rom? or is there any way for me to do something to get omniroom detecting my signal?
Oh something i was forgeting.. before i updated to stock 4.3... i installed first omniroom.. but i decided to update to stock 4.3 because i was getting signal but it could take 1 HOUR for the phone to get the signal.. and from there signal would lose at any moment.
anyone? i read the FAQ and did this
Q9: I'm sure I've correctly flashed an SGSIII ROM with the right CSC for my network but why can I still not make calls?
If your phone was running an Android version less than v4.3 before you flashed a new ROM then you may need to install a patched modem and, if you upgraded to a newer stock ROM, a patched kernel too such as the zuluman modem FW/kernel. You will usually not need to install a patched kernel if you install CyanogenMod or a CM-based ROM. A number of kernels and modem firmwares patched for Android 4.3+ are available here.
