I'd just like to ask where I could find the original development roms which would work in the UK, as the ones in the thread are for the international version of the s3 i9300 only. This would be of huge help. Thank you
The UK phone is the international version, there is no difference. i9300 is the same model number, don't flash anything with a different one.
Okay thank you. Why do all the ROMs always say emergency calls only and the original ROMS work fine
Depends on the history of your handset, especially the efs folder and modem.
Ah I had no problem with the IMEI or baseband. I was receiving signal but it would say not registered on a network
Possibly your custom rom is missing the correct network settings, you haven't wiped the phone properly before flashing, recovery is out of date etc. etc. Also, try another SIM to see if it's a network problem.

Hello XDA members,
I have a big problem with my SGS2!
If i try to run my SGS2 with my SIM (Telekom) then i do not have reception,
but if iam nearly 800meters in front of a send masts, I've got reception. Oô
If i took my old MobilePhone (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10) i works fine, I took any other Mobilephones/Smartphones it works fine.
If i try to use SIM-cards from other Providers in my SGS2 like Vodafone, O2, Alditalk, it works fine. (But WHY not with MY SIM???)
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions, NOTHINK Works :/
After this I go to Telekom (i've not buyed there my SGS2, i've bought it from a friend, but he can use it normaly) and described the same,
so I've got 6 different versions of a SIM - Card, like 1,8V and 3,3V variants, NOTHING works! -.-
After this, i tried to ROOT my MobilePhone, but any attempt be unsuccessful.
Nowadays I tryed the Special "Telekom" Android Version (2.3.6) of the SGS2, unsuccessful.
Does any of you might have an idea what I could do?
I hope you have some ideas!
best regards
Cr4nK_3r
[PS: Sorry for my baad English!!!! ]
Hmm.. probably not the best option, but... change your operator but maintain the same number ?
If other sim cards work then there should be the problem with the Telekom one!

One wrong modem/baseband change it .
Two network settings not entered correctly .

Damaged Sim ask for replacement sim .
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions,
WHY ???

Sell it or read the faqs and guides posted here and flash a stock rom .
Add to that phone needs a service repair .

first of all, check your EFS. It might crashed before u do anything else as its a possible root of problem. Dial *#06# and does it show your IMEI? Then go to settings and about phone, does it show what baseband you are on? If no imei or baseband unknown, your EFS is broken.
After checking the EFS issue, then u may proceed on thinking bout other solutions to it. Just confirm it first
Problem with mobile network "NEDJMA" on the Galaxy S i9000 / i9100
Hello everybody
In first, please excuse my bad English.
We have a big problem in Algeria with the mobile network NEDJMA on the Galaxy S i9000/i9100, the sim isn't recognized, in best case, it's recognized, the network bars are here, but it's impossible to make or receive a call, it's unreachable. That problem doesn't exist with the others mobile networks (Djezzy and Mobilis).
For the i9000, I've try to flash many roms and custom roms, with so many modems, but in vain. the phone refuse to recognize the sim. i have also try to put that same sim in another i9000 with the same custom rom CM9 4.0.4 and the same modem JVT, and guess what, the phone recognize the sim and mobile network works great!
For the i9100p, I've flashed a JVS modem and I've reduced the frequency of network bugs from many in one day to 1 or 2 in 4 or 5 days.
So, what you think about this problem? if is not the modem who we should change? then what we should do?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Bought a Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH S959G) and flashed it, unlocked it (before January 26th (which was legal back then(and I am using Ultra Mobile as my carrier and rooted it.
The thing is that now it's an SGH S959G (Straight Talk phone) that has an OTA update and when the download starts it says it's downloading the new version for this phone, but, when I browse to the "About Phone" section of the settings, it says that the Model Number is Samsung SGH - I777 with a baseband version I777UCKH7, Kernel version 2.6.35.7, Build number GINGERBREAD.UCKH7, AND, when I power on the phone, the splash screen shows that it's an GT - I9100.
Today I connected my phone to Kies and (obviously) showed that an update was available for I777 (Android Version: 4.1.2 / Baseband Version: I777UCMD8)
My hands are itching to upgrade my phone because when I bought it and rooted it I had JellyBean in there, and now I have Gingerbread, but:
Should I upgrade my phone?
I want to keep root on my phone, will it be possible?
Will my phone still be flashed?
Will I loose the unlocking that I did to the phone?, I really just don't like the service at Straight Talk, besides, Ultra Mobile is much cheaper.
Now, one more thing, this phone was not activated on any network when I purchased it (got it at craig list (for those who know what that is)), checked the IMEI number and was not reported either stolen or lost, but couldn't register it with Straight Talk since I didn't have the original purchase ticket from WalMart, so I had to change the IMEI number on it too ... will I loose this if I update it?
Thanks, in advanced, for your help, sorry it's such a long explanation, but just wanted to let you know the whole story so you could get all the facts you need for helping me, and if you need more, please just let me know.
Again, thanks.

For loosing SIM unlock. ...I need to know if you did your unlock by unlock code or you did some other way
.....updating to 4.1.2 ....look in I777 thread for cooked Rom that is already rooted deodexed ...debloated....and TW rom you looking
If you did unlock by code that is permanent. ..other ways that you need post
For showing update on kies...
If you did modified IMIE that is going to be problem. ...be cause your motherboard will still have factory IMIE. ...and from your statement I'm assuming you modified IMIE from some I777 device...
So your best thing is to use. ..cooked rom...

Thanks samprocat, to unlock the phone, first, I downloaded an app from gogle play store that actually stated that it unlocked the phone for me, then I sent the phone to someone to change the IMEI number (I looked my IMEI up on the IMEI black list on the internet but it wasn't black listed but a message kept popping up stating that the phone's IMEI was not registered) so I don't know how they did the IMEI change, except, that they did change the IMEI while the phone had the sgh s959g image on, but could not put on the modems, that's why they used the I777 image.
I know that if the phone gets back it's original IMEI, it's not going to work anymore, plus, I don't know if it's going to stay unlocked either. To tell you the truth, I don't want it to go back to it's original state. If there's a chance for me to loose the phone's unlocked feature, or get back my original IMEI number, then, I'll just stay with the phone this way.
Hi. A old newbie here with a big problem, not solved by a lot of time lapsed, forum topics etc..
I have a SGS I9300.. Just got it a few weeks ago (2nd hand). Everything was fine, battery drains fast but doesn't matter now.
It had an modified TouchWiz rom which after a wipe data/cache still had SuperSU and I didn't like it.
I had a old stock ROM in my PC (from my old I9300, which worked fine 1 year ago, 4.3 Romania -Orange). I flashed it through ODIN but the problem is that I have signal bars, I can choose between HSDPA/GSM connections, I can register to any network but in my carrier it says The selected Network (RO ORANGE) is not disponible or smth like that.
I went to a GSM Service, they made it work but I didn't like that modified ROM, I want a Full Official Stock TouchWiz ROM for my old S3.
I paid a lot, I don't want to go once again to repair it. IMEI and S/N are good. When I received it from Service, it had USB Debugging ON. I think Z3X will solve this but I think it's not free to register..

Good luck!
Sounds like your phone has modified/damaged efs and must have patched modem and kernel to use a stock firmware.
Take it back to the GSM Service and ask them to repair the efs properly, so it works on 4.3 without patches.

Hm, I tried a lot of things to repair it, but I did worse. The IMEI became generic (0049), the S/N was modified.
After a lot of time lost, looking on XDA, YouTube, trying to repair it... I found that the only viable solution was to go with it at a GSM Service. You can't modify or repair your IMEI without a box (z3x). I finally managed to fix it for just 9$ ( I was thinking to buy a new motherboard -> 50$ )
Thanks for your reply

I have the same problem. The IMEI and SN are good, but I can't call. I was on CM11 before and then I put phone accidentally in flight mode and flashed Blekota v11. Was not able to make calls anymore. Then I used ODIN to flash back to a Stock rom what I wanted to do in the first place. But still no change. Do I need to flash a different Baseband version?
Please help me, what can I do?

Yes you can flash different modems, a lot of people solved the problem with XXEMG4 modem, but in my case.. Nothing seemed to work.
I have again the same problem, IMEI and S/N are good, Emergency calls only. I think i have EFS V1 but my rom is fully working with EFS V2.
You should better go to a GSM Service and see what you can do with yours, don't try because you can lose your IMEI and S/N and then the single solution is to repair N/V data IMEI and S/N with Z3X box at a service.
Thanks, it worked with the patched modem and kernel. I used this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-emergency-calls-problem-siii-i9300-t2752541
I tried flashing several custom roms on my Ntelos S6 Edge but all of them were for other models and I can't seem to find one for the SM-G925R7. They boot up and work perfectly except that they don't detect my SIM card. For some reason I also can't find the right firmware to flash it back to stock. If anyone could point me toward a custom rom that would work, the stock firmware, or anything that could help my problem it would be greatly appreciated. Also if I used any incorrect terminology or anything like that please forgive me as I'm not the most knowledgeable in this sort of thing.
How did you root it? I can't find the solution anywhere.
Try roms for Sprint S6 Edge since your carrier is based on CDMA network.
Any GSM rom you flash will not have correct mobile network settings for CDMA.
I have the entire firmware uploading if you still need
what roms have you tried ?

Ill have a look around for you mate, but to be honest I've never heard or seen any custom roms for g925r4 model.
What i would do if i was you would be to take the phone to a shop and trade it in for a G925F so many roms for this model
