Hello,
I have an galaxy S3 I9300 International, i had a few problems with it. My efs folder got corupted and i had a broken imei because of it, i fixed this problem by going to the service and they fixed my imei and SN.
Everything worked perfectly until installed an stock 4.3 when i noticed that even if my sim was in the phone, i couldn't get a signal and i had only Emergency calls only/ Vodafone.
i tried to flash cyanogen/ stock firmware and ariza patch but it didn't worked (everytime i press the patch button it just remaind in download screen without patching or progressing the download).
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Take it back to the service and get them to fix it properly, so it's on 4.3 before you pay.

Hello guys,
I`ve been watching all this topics for a while cuz I have some problems with my Galaxy S3. I`ll tell you what i did.
All worked fine, had the 4.1.1 official rom + root, then i wanted to go to 4.1.2 so i flashed an UK stock ROM. After that i kept getting the "Sim has been removed" error need restart bla bla.. so i search all around for a fix.. i changed 2 SIM cards and nothing. Then I flashed a Poland version 4.1.2 Stock. That version was better but I encountered the "Call ended" error.. calls would end after 3-4mins or i could not call at all. Then i flashed (and this is when the problem started) Stock Vodafone Spain and got "No network". I must say my IMEI/ SN all are intact.
Then I patched only radio modem from the UK ROM with Odin, but with "PHONE" option (i know i did wrong).. i wanted to change only the modem and it worked cuz i checked with *#1234#.. but from that moment not even one ROM has worked in showing me the network. On About phone says "Network: Unknown". Sometimes it connects to Vodafone but when I try to call says "No network service".
Now my phone is in second service and they can`t make it get a network on. They tryed the neverlock thing but i think was already unblocked.
I tryed rooting and using this Ariza. and were 2 versions there.. I tryed v5 only and didnt worked.
I tried the ##72786# and I get the following message: Connection Problem or invalid MMI code (found somewhere that for this code i need to have Wifi on to work?)
Now i`m thinking to get my phone back and dunno reflash with a good .pit file ? or just reRoot and try v4 Ariza.. I`m really sad, it`s been 5 days and I can`t think on nothing else to do.. I even called Samsung official service and they said to send it to them.
If you have any idea, pls need help. tnx
Check your IMEI is the same as under the battery .
Samsung will reject warranty .

you are right.. IMEI and SN are not the same.. pff what to do now?
Restore your backed up EFS folder.

But i think i backed up the EFS folder with the modified IMEI. What can i do now?
nothing. replace the motherboard
SOLVED!
Ok so tnx to JJEgan i checked all the IMEI numbers and only 2 of them were modified. Thing is before I pached the v5 Ariza, I did a EFS backup with that program. That backup img saved my phone.
Firstly I got my phone back from service with 4.2.1 official ROM (thats nice, cost me 0 $ ). I rooted with CF-Auto and used Ariza patch (v4). But my imei was still wrong so after that I used EFS_Backup_Restore_new_ADB.rar to restore my IMEI/SN with the old EFS backup then I used another programEFS Professional v2.0. I checked the option to repair No network and clicked Restore. After that I restarted my phone and I got the messages from provider with APN settings and so on.
Thank you for the help :good:
worked till first restart... now No network again, I`m not a samsung/android fan anymore..

Lots of people, who flashed something without really understanding what they did. Try reading this thread:

Hello,
It has been a rough day today. I had a Galaxy S3 on Android 4.1.2. I rooted it and flashed a 4.3 firmware. The phone recognized the card and the signal bar was full. However, I couldn't make any phone calls because it says "Not registered on network" and it says Emergency Calls Only. IMEI and baseband are fine. I tried Ariza and even installing patched kernel with patched modem but they made baseband unknown (no service). I tried downgrading to 4.1.2, still the same.
Any ideas what can I do now?
Why was it on 4.1? Normally this is because it has been previously patched or repaired, in which case 4.3 update will corrupt the efs.
Only solution is to pay for a repair, make sure it works on 4.3 firmware before you pay.
Hello All,
I am from Pakistan, and I have a Galaxy S3 I9300. I have upgraded it to 4.3 JB recently. I have flashed XXUGNA8 4.3 firmware for Pakistan, downloaded from sammobile. Everything works fine but I cannot make any calls. It says "not registered on network". However when I call the number from another phone, it rings but s3 doesn't receive any call.
I have tried many fixes given on the internet to no use. My IMEI is not corrupted. I have the same IMEI on the back under the battery as in the phone itself.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Problem has been solved by flashing XXUGMK6 firmware and the patched kernel and modem given here.
I used my galaxy mega 2 on AT&T's network for about 4 months without any problems until I decide to root it with either Kingoroot or Kingroot and since then i've been network blocked because it changed my IMEI. I want to change it back to what the sticker under the battery says but have had no luck. So far i've tried flashing it using odin and the z3samsung tool. It was 4.4.4 but now it's 5.1.1 KitKat because I can't try to downgrade because the "repair" firmware 4.4.4 always fails. The bad IMEI 350050500009692 i was told that this imei was a default when your imei gets erased by some mobile tool pro via email. I won't publish the good/true imei that's on the sticker. Baseband G750AUCU3B0H4 , Build number LMY47X. G750AUCU3BOH4. Also I get an error when using the z3tool to write NV data, it says "security damaged". Being the bright person I am I didn't back up anything prior to the first attempt but all I need is the IMEI restored everything else seems to work fine. I'm stumped and need help.
Thanks to all or anyone
