Hi,
So I downloaded this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-revolutionary-s5-v3-buy-s5-t2602543 " ROM and everything seems well until I noticed that there is no signal. SIM Card is not being read by the ROM. I am new to the modding scene and I'd like a clear explanation on how I could fix this problem.
I have a International GT-I9300.
Do you have a valid IMEI? From which ROM did you come from?

I don't know what an IMEI is, but I firstly came from a normal rooted 4.1.2 firmware. It was a stock FW. But now, I use a " aokp_i9300_kitkat_nightly_2014-01-14 ". I'm switching around ROMs to experiment, and I seem to love the S5 ROM except that the mobile network won't work.
I've seen this as a solution ""If you don't have reception (no signal), here's a quick explanation: THANKS TO S0ul_
It means you flashed a new modem over the MG4 one. It's not a bug, that's because Samsung has changed the format of the EFS partition with the MG4 baseband and now the older modems (MC2, etc) can't read the IMEI from the EFS, hence the failure to register your phone in your carrier's network.
To fix this issue you need only to install MG4 modem from aroma installer"
But I do not know how to apply it on my phone.
bump.

You had to backup your EFS partition/folder before, try to search in sdcard if there is folder or file like efs_backup, efs.bak, efs.zip, efs.tar.gz etc maybe aroma did it.

Stop to flash any other rom. first try to search for that file or folder because the first rom you installed uses AROMA and MAYBE it did a efs backup, otherwise try to flash a pre MG4 modem to fix signal.

Don't flash or do anything else like restore an efs back until you guve more info.
You have not answered my question above. Is it only mobile internet you have issues with? Can you still use wifi, make calls, receive calls, send and receive texts? If you can do all of that your efs should be fine and it points to apn issues which can get mixed up when flashing roms.
@raksati
You need to read up on efs thread before giving such info, flashing a pre mg4 modem will solve nothing as it can only read efs V1, if he has indeed corrupted the efs then nothing will be able to read it.
What I think you ment was flash mg4 or above which can read V2 but this is only required if using 4.1.2 or an early 4.3 which no one should be using these days.

I'm using a galaxy s3 gt i9300, android version 4.1.2, baseband version I9300XXEMB6. I currently had installed a custom rom ''Sotmax_Ultimate_Stock_V23_XXUFME7_HD_AR'' I managed to install it but when the network service provider requested the handset configuration (picture shown in the attachment) i clicked ok but then another pop up message appears saying ''temporary error occured in application. please try again later'' (picture shown in the attachment) I thought it was probably the custom rom so i reinstalled the stock rom of galaxy S3 but still the problem is there so until now i have no network connections on my phone .....so if there is anything i can do please help
Just go to your provider website, get the apn settings and enter them manually

Try ariza patch . Google it. You need to be rooted and busy box installed

You need to provide details of what modem you are on.....I'd your imei starts 0049.....and it looks like it does, then you have probably at some time had one of the new format modems, so you need that (probably MG4) to get your imei back, unless you have a back up of it which I doubt.

First of all, this is not my first time flashing a custom rom. I've been using different roms for months. Before this tragedy I was using MIUI as my primary rom and CM10.2 temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V10 as my secondary rom with Googy-Max Kernel 1.6.7 installed. Everything works perfectly fine. Yesterday I decided to install Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 as my secondary rom. During the installation the installer asked me to choose one modem. And I randomly chose one of them. After that I rebooted my phone into secondary rom, but there was only black screen. Then I took out the battery, reboot it into my primary rom. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOBILE SIGNAL WAS GONE. I tried to flash different modem/baseband and tried everything I can find on the internet. Now the signal shows" Emergency Call Only". I used Odin to restore my phone to stock rom, everything on my internal storage is gone BUT THE SIGNAL IS STILL "Emergency Call Only". The SN is normal (not all 00000000) but imei is wrong. Can someone tell me what the f*** is happening to my phone? Thank you so much! :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Update: I sent my phone to Samsung care. And they said some sort of chip on my phone is broken. And they charge me 200 dollar for replacement! Hell no! Any ideas??

...and the IMEI matches the sticker?
Maybe look on the internal and external sd card for an efs backup. Maybe a rom you flashed took one.

The stupid thing is I didn't know efs before this. And there is a backup. But nothing happened after I restored it. Another thing is the Titanium Backup on my phone became a free version. It should be a premium one. Does that mean I lost my efs? Then how come I still got the correct IMEI and SN?
Well if your imei is intact what's the fuss ? stick to the newer base bands

If you didn't have efs backup then visit to service centre was 'a must' move.. Although I have no idea how much they charge , 200 $ kinda seems too much /// @rootSU should know better

****Let me start by saying that I did do a full EFS backup... but ignored the fact it went to my internal storage, which I wiped and is now lost****
Ok, so decided to upgrade my ROM from S4 Revolution 7.0 to 8.0. Everything went fine, but ended up with no signal (circle sign in the notification bar) and couldn't register on the network. Did some reading, found out I needed to move to the XXEMG4 modem. Flashed it via CWM, signal was back. All was good.
But, I decided I wanted to shift back to stock. I went through the excellent tutorial here, and flashed 4.1.2 specific to my region (Thailand). Unfortunately I ended up with the old "Could not register on the network" issue. Again, did some reading and found out that once you move to the XXEMG4 modem you can't use an earlier version due to updating your EFS partition.
So my solution was to do a quick root, and flash the XXEMG4 modem again. Rebooted, got registered on the network and my data came back online (H+, 850mhz). I thought all was good but after a day of testing I have noticed my data speeds on H+ are ridiculously slow. We are talking 0.16 Mbps.
I can only think this is due to the modem not being optimised for my network.
Does anyone know any other modem I can flash that maybe faster / optimised for my network in Thailand? (True H+). OR should I wait for Samsung to release an official 4.3 and then flash that with its modem?
I think my EFS is fine (other than the upgrade), but have attached screenshots as I do not consider myself an expert when it comes to modems etc.
Thanks for any help.

Trying that now, will use the XXEMB6 modem and see how things pan out.
And you're right, it is a sh**.
Ok, so tried installing Ariza Patch and then flashing a older modem (xxemb6). No joy. It shows the signal bar, but won't register on the network.
I then tried flashing BUUGMJ3 which registered on the network, but same speed issues. Dead slow.
So now back to the MG4 one. I have noticed what maybe a related issue, my data icon is constantly switching between H and H+. It did this before, but now its all the time.
Have you tried 19300UBEMH1 modem this works on new efs i'm using it now also I think rootSU as got some new modems posted in one of his threads

:good: Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at that tomorrow (I'm a little worn out after 2 days of messing with my phone).
I'm also considering flashing the 4.3 official ROM and seeing if that helps any. The Thai version should land any day now.

HI, good day to all,
refer to the topic as above,
i have encountered EFS been wiped, IMEI changed to 0000, no network detected after upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.3 (I9300XXDXUGMK3).
i have tried anything that could helped such as flash MG4 modem, MK1 modem, MK6 modem but still the same. i cant try ARIZA PATCH because OS version is I9300XXDXUGMK3 not MG rom.
I need helps from someone that could bring back their network & IMEI return back. thx in advanced!:good:

hi tallman,
thx for your reply. i have checked that as well before come and posting here ask for helps. unfortunately, i have not backup the EFS folder as i thought the 4.3 update was safe without backup the EFS. any good idea to bring back the network & IMEI by flashing any modem? thx for understanding n helping!!!
If you've tried the sticky thread then you'll need a repair centre, go for a reputable one with right tools to enable 4.3 to work properly. Cheaper repairs downgrade the phone then use patches.
Your thread will probably be locked as it duplicates hundreds of other identical ones.
Post your question in the thread link I gave you it well be answered better.

I tried to flash a stock rom via odin but there's the same problem.
Imei is still fine.
I flashed 4.1.2 with modems and it works now. but i cant flash 4.3 without get this error? WHY?!
the whole stroy is: I changed IMEI in laboratory (they changed it to s2 imei, if this is important), because the Imei didn't work and after that I was trying reflash the SAME rom (HD Revolution) with full wipe and then get this network error.
What I tried:
reflash HD Revolution 51.0 with network error then flashed MG4 Modem that downloaded from somewhere then flashed zuluman patch and get null imei.
flashed stock 4.3 via odin>rooted>flashed custom 4.1.2(Gorgoid rom)+modems (XXDME4, DDEMG2)-didnt work>flashed MG4 Patch again>works.
How can I flash a 4.3 rom without get problems? I'M SICK OF IT!
*sorry for bad english, but pls need ur help guys i cant stick with 4.1.2 :S
