Depends on what you have tried more details/list of what you have tried "all fix" doesn't really help. If not you will get lots of replies from people suggesting things you have already done.
There is what i did:
-Try alot of patched modem
-flash 4.3 stock backup efs then restore in 4.4.2
-tried different custom rom
-changed csc to be compitable with my country BTW i live in middle east
And another thing i select my network manually

Looks like you have tried all the obvious solutions sorry I can't understand your first post about 4.3 have you connectivity on 4.3 stock rom?
Yes and in 4.4.2 but i get random emergency call only and still no connectivity must restart phone to get network back

If you are getting network/calls in 4.3 without any problems then your efs and modem are correct and have been upgraded to efs v2 unless you are on a patched modem and this is what is making your 4.3 rom work . If you are getting partial calls/internet in 4.4.2 but then have to reboot then something else is going on.Are you sure your apn settings are correct for you region? If they are then I am at a loss to what's going on,the patched modems and kernels that are in the forum are for 4.3 roms only not 4.4 so are you on a patched modem and kernel at the moment?maybe that's interfering with 4.4.
Try another sim card.
Thx for help still happening to me
If this error is happening on totally stock 4.3, before you install or restore any settings or apps, but works normally sometimes then it's probably a hardware failure.
Now im using back to noot v5 it seem the problem is fixed i donno

Hi,
My S3's baseband is XXELL4. Recently I have tried Echoe Rom (4.3), which had a note that it wont alter modems, and if I lose network, I should flash MG4 modem to restore network. But after flashing, my IMEI was intact and I was able to get signals but when try to make calls, it shows "Not registered on network" error. Tried restoring my backup but again the same error for my previously working backups.
Since all the workarounds mentioned here did not workout for me (Including flashing stock 4.1.2 XXELL4 firmware and EFS restoration), I did a master wipe, restored XXELL4 modem first, then restored my EFS backup and flashed Fusion 4.4. Now everything was back to normal again.
So my question is how do I convert my EFS v1 modem to EFS v2 without losing network communications. I am interested to try modified stock 4.3 ROMs, as my primary requirements are fluidity with more juice for the day. So I need to flash a 4.3 stock based ROM and how do I do it without facing the same issue agian.
Any help from experts will be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the help. So if I flash this patched modem over XXELL4, will my network will still be working. Sorry for too many questions since my requirement would be hassle free switching between ROMs without losing network communications
Hi guys , i spend like 2 days trying to fix this , my gt-i9300 ZTO have imei 0044999... i have network signal(i dont know why , the triangle changes!!) but im not registered on network . i tried almost everything to fix it(downgrades , upgrades , modem ,kernel ,efs pro) , i dont know else what to do , i did backup of my imei number when i was in 4.3 , but when i try to restore my cell , enters in factory mode(i changed to ON already ;/ ) ... can anyone help me ? now im on I9300UBEMH5_I9300UBEMH1_I9300ZTOEMH1_HOME.tar.md5 stock rom 4.1.2 .
obs : sry for my english
If you have a backup of your efs then you should be able to restore it, unless you've tried to downgrade to a firmware that your backup is incompatible with.
Read the sticky thread 'efs know this stuff'.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
i did my backup when i was in 4.3 , but whenever i try to do the restore , my imei doesnt change and get on factory mode .
As I can read, you tried to restore EFS (4.3 version) in 4.1.2 ROM and it gets Factory mode screen and not valid IMEI code? Right?
If I read right, 4.3 Stock have a new EFS folder not compatible with 4.1.2 older than EMG4, so, try to restore the EFS in 4.3 (your latest firmware by CSC code). Try it and reply when done.
The signal is ok because with or without SIM card/IMEI/EFS you can call emergency (911 ecc...)
Please help me !!!!!!
Hi ! Please help me. By mistake I formatted the EFS data of my Samsung galaxy S3. Now, I don't have the backup also. Now my EFS data is corrupted so I have entered the factory mode. Please say me how to get rid of factory mode and please give me a solution to repair the IMEI problem !! Please help me !!!!!!
I did the restore using hc-ktool but nothing happened :crying:
To get out of factory mode , root the cell , go to EFS folder with any explorer(downloaded in play store) and search for a file named "Factorymod" , edit to ON .
You say you upgraded to 4.3 then went back down to 4.1.2 - upgrading to 4.3 will change your EFS to EFS v2, and 4.1.2 only recognises EFS v1. What you'll need to do is download the stock 4.3 ROM from somewhere like sammobiles so it can read your EFS. Then if you get the 'Emergency Calls Only', try installing Zuluman's patched kernel and ROM:
Patched_XXUGMK6_kernel.zip and Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip:

Hope this helps

i didnt understand what u did ... i didnt find this step "Got to Network settings. You need to change Roaming to automatic and CDMA settings to RUIM/SIM (I *think* that is the name of it, I'm actually on TW temporarily as I'm troubleshooting some SDcard issues of my own)
Reboot and you should be back in business. Touchwiz doesn't have a way of changing of those settings which is why ODIN/stock doesn't fix it"
thanks !

Im just sayin if you havnt tried it yet, try flashing CM 10.1.3 and have a look see in settings->more see what options are there - i cant remember what i changed there or what options are available but i can tell you i changed something there aand there isnt to many options there to change anyway so you can kinda figure out what makes sense to change.
The whole thing is pretty simple so its worth a try.
I restored my imei , my method was divine intervention hahahaha , now im stuck on Factory mode . I already changed the file factorymode to ON but nothing changes :/ .
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
i reinstalled stock rom 4.3 , delete folder EFS with root access and put my efs folder from backup that i did in the first place , i didnt understand why my imei came back to life , because i already did this for whole last week !!! but still was a GREAT solution
the only prlblem now is how i get out of factory mode
Hello everyone,
First of all i want to thank you for all this guides that i was trying to use here
So here's my story.
I got Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 with bootloop issue so i decide to fix this by myself.
I was trying to install fimware using KIES but i doesn't fix my issue.
Then i was trying to search for right rom on several websites.
The right one and only working one was 4.0.4 with orange brand logo.
So i was excited that its finally working
Then i realize that my imei is null and my sim card is not working.
So i was trying to restore EFS using several tools and methods.
Finally i got it default IMEI 0049 but it was still not working.
My phone is not qualcomm based model so i cannot use nv item reader writer as it's required to edit IMEI
Even after applying phonutil patch my device is not being recognize as Qualcomm one.(because it's not)
So i was still looking for another way to change my imei manually as i have my original one on the box and under battery.
Finally I realized that i cannot make even Emergency calls it comes with message Out of service area.
So i was trying to apply few modem and radio updates to my phone but none of them are helping.
Anyone have similiar issue?
I have another Galaxy S3 that is working can i copy imei or whole system to my not working phone?
I know that after that i cannot use other device, but thats ok if its possible.

Have you tried patched modem and kernel? Did you read the guides on xda >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289 << and no you cannot copy imei from another phone.

I tried everything from this guide.
Regarding patch:
4.0.4-I9300BVALE4 firmware is the only one working on my Samsung
Patched modem and kernel that i found and try it are XXUGMK6.
Maybe they are different one or dedicated to my firmware

The reason you can't make calls is because at some point your phone software was on 4.3 this means your efs as changed to efs v2. Now because your current firmware is at 4.0.4 then your efs can't read this because 4.0.4 is efs v1. So you need to get a 4.3 stock rom onto your phone (I know you said only 4.0.4 works) but what are you using install firmware are you using Odin? If so what errors are you getting installing with Odin.
The patched modems and kernels are for 4.3 so they won't work on 4.0.4 or any other apart from 4.3
I was trying so many of them but its always ends with samsung logo loop it doesn' matter if i'm
do things like wipe cache, factory settings etc everytime its not working.
Even on 4.0.4 only this one rom is working.
Im always using ODIN, with KIES its always ends with samsung logo loop.

Ok a couple of things you could try (if you haven't already) I presume you have a custom recovery? Try flashing a custom stock 4.3 with recovery I suggest this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-sammys-stock-deodexed-rooted-t2585670 << This is as close to stock as possible but can be flashed with a custom recovery like Cwm,PhilZ,Twrp etc. You will also need to flash a 4.3 modem for this which is included in the thread. If the modem in the thread does not give you a signal (presuming the rom boots ) then keep the same custom rom but flash a patched modem and kernel on top with your custom recovery.
Don't forget to factory reset after flashing!
If none of that works you can always try the rescue firmware here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << obviously flash the 4.3 one. Hope that helps
Thank you very much for your help i will try this and let know here if it's working

So issue is still exist.
I can discover any network when i choose network its even says"registred on network" but then if im trying to choose some number im having error message that im not registred or if emergency call "out of service area".
Any ideas what still can i try ?
Hi all,
I had Brasil version working
Product code ZTO
PDA I9300UBUGNL1
CSC I9300ZTOUGNK2
MODEM I9300UBUGNK1
And I decided to update using ODIN to the latest one, New Zealand
Product code NZC
PDA I9300XXUGOA2
CSC I9300NZCGOA1
MODEM I9300XXUGNB1
However after doing this, when the phone boot it ask for sim card pin number however it show EMERGENCY CALL ONLY. The imei is not corrupted, the baseband version is correct.
I tried a factory reset, I tried flashing again the previous Brasil version, I tried also restore the backup which I made using TWRP but still EMERGENCY CALL ONLY.
What should I do???

Flash a patched modem and kernel with a custom reovery from here >> https://drive.google.com/folderview...=sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8#lis << ( make sure your on a 4.3 rom) if you get a bootloop after flashing boot to recovery and factory reset.
Hei, thanks. It worked like a charm.
Can you explain what happened? Am k allowed to flash again new roms from sammobile? Where was the problem?
Thanks again
Your efs is damaged or corrupt, no stock firmware will work without adding a matching patch modem and kernel.
Problem usually happens when someone has modified the efs, to unlock without a code etc.
I had the efs damaged several months ago and it was fixed in service. The phone wasn't unlocked and now I have 2 backups (ktool and twrp for efs). However restoring them didn't worked

Glad to see the patched files worked just remember you will always need to use the patched modem and kernel
There isn't any fix for that?
Why I can't upgrade the efs to v2 so I will not need to flash the patch every time?

Yes I know sorry I confused you I was talking about the patched files..
When was the efs backup taken where you still on a android version 4.3 or was it taken before?
Also in answer to your question about efs v2 you are on efs v2 the problem is that it it is corrupt so you need the patched files to get it working so it can read your modem.
The backup was made on 4.3, one of the latest rom in December 2014

Ok sometimes efs gets corrupt when upgrading from 4.1 to 4.3 but efs can get also get currupt just by flashing roms too.:crying:
And that efs corruption couldn't be fixed? Or if it's corrupted you have to use the patch each time?

I have some strange issues, could be from the patched modem?
On various websites, but every time the browser quit. It happens on chrome beta, on chrome stable but on default browser aswell. After closing if I check the ram I notice that it's extremely free, something like 300-400 only used, like it was done free ram. That's extremely annoying, I tried a clear cache, nothing helps. I get also force close on Contacts from time to time

Is there a similar fix for Galaxy Note 4 ? I am experiencing same issue
hello everyone,
I flashed a rom stock on the galaxy s3 to remove the root, it worked but the phone has no network ... after search I found patches of kernels and modems that made it work But I was full of closing error ..
What is the best rom stock for not having this kind of error knowing that i want to use rom: back to noot 4.4
When I flash the rom I have no network too, what to do?
Check your imei still shows up and isn't 0049.
Define "network", wifi, data or both?. Which firmware did you flash?. What region is the phone from and is it sim unlocked?.

i've triyed many firmwares to see if the rom have something to do with it but same result only emergency calls ... now it works after installing the patch, but i really want to use android 4.4 (back to noot rom) but after flashing those patches on it Patched_XXUGMK6_kernel.zip ,Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip the phone wont boot
i dont know from any region the phone from ...
and the imei isn't 0049 i think that it's because of the patch who maked the network work again
It's definitely the patch that makes it work but the problem you have is "why won't it work without the patch".
That suggests there is something else a miss with that phone and it would be worth investigating before you flash something and brick it.
Flashing random firmware is not recommended unless you have the BTU version as that is truly unlocked and debranded.
If I were you I'd be investigating to turn the phone completely stock and start over so you know exactly where you're at with it.
From what I've read so far, you could have flashed a firmware from before 4.3 when the phone has previously been updated to 4.3. This would cause efs issues and affect imei etc.. Then you flash the patches and you have a half working device..
I don't know the exact background as you're not very forthcoming about the phone, probably because you don't know a lot and are basically "shooting fish in a barrel", like I am right now..

Flash to stock and get the phone working as it should.
Backup your modem and efs.
Flash back to noot.
Restore your modem and efs from the working stock backup and reboot the phone.
Finger crossed you 'should' have a working device..
