Hi all, I have E160L (Korean ) Rooted , CWM and McQueen ROM installed. Phone was working well till last night when due to low battery my phone turned off after recharging when i turned it on , it started randomly restarting. I had backup of original ROM so I restored it via CWM but problem was still there. Then i noticed Baseband and IMEI were absent from my Phone statics. I restored EFS too but still no IMEI and baseband. Now my phone restarts randomly on stock and Mcqeen ROMS, CM9 ROM solves restart problem but still no IMEI and baseband. Tried using KIES to move back to stock but KIES keeps showing ''Connecting'' my phone but doesn't connect it. Any Help will be highly appreciated.

This morning, I had my SGS2 working as normal, running Oxygen 2.3.2 (GB 2.3.7 AOSP).
I tried later on to flash the new CM9 ICS alpha for SGS2, And while it worked for a bit, after a while the phone stopped detecting my SIM.
Restoring my Oxygen NANDroid backup didn't help, nor did flashing new PDA/Phone/CSC via Odin to an official version.
Baseband and IMEI both appear normally in the settings/about screen.
I'd love any suggestion to make this issue clearer or how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.
Try taking it out, blowing it off and putting it back in

Same above, once I had the same problem and re-inserting the sim card solved it.

I had the same problem. I went to the operator and exchanged the chip. Now it works perfectly.
Yeah, took it out with the battery and tried reinserting, didn't do much.
Funny to think the SIM might have gone corrupt, but who knows.
Update:
Last night, Asked a friend to switch SIM between our devices. His SIM worked on my device straight, Mine wasn't detected on his.
Went today to Orange IL and replaced the SIM, worked like a treat.
So it was the SIM in the end, Not sure how it got messed up.
Thanks for the advice from everyone!

There seems to be a weird issue with my Galaxy S3.
I had installed the Omega ROM v36 (upgrading all the way from v23 i.e 24,25.. serially) without wiping the data.
The phone was working fine until a few days back. Then suddenly the phone used to hang(like old nokia phones).
I tried calling the sim number and the call was going through but wasnt getting anything. The screen just stood there.
And then i had to reset the phone (Power 8 seconds) every time it happened.
Today I wiped the data and freshly installed the ROM. The same issue still exists.
It is really irritating. and even after reset-ing the phone the phone hangs the same way!
Please help someone.
Should I go back to stock? Something else?
Please!

But the problem is since v34!
I tried installing every update.
Nothing helped!
And which SD do I need to format? internal or external?
Did you experience this screen problem before the custom rom? Lets hope its not a hardware problem.
Try formatting your internal SD. Don't think your ext SD could affect it, though eject it just in case. Return it to stock as much as possible.
Hey Guys,
First time poster.. so please don't flame me...eh!..LOL
I have searched and better searched without success to my question..
I would like to revert back to JB 4.1.2 on my S3 which is SIM locked to T-Mobile UK, would I need to ROOT the phone beforehand or can I just use Odin and the relevant stock firmware.
would this affect the IMEI and the EFS folder that would make the phone unusable?.
if the procedure is straightforward would I be able to revert back to perhaps 4.1.1 (which would allow me to unlock the SIM myself..).
Hope I have made some sense with my first post..
cheers for any help guys...
4.3 changed your efs to v2. You cannot go back to 4.1.1 unless you have an efs backup from before you upgraded (an efs v1 backup).
Going back to 4.1.2 will work provided you use a firmware EMGx or later (efs v2).
Follow the guides in general stickies on how to flash stock using odin, root afterward with CF auto root.
There are many threads on efs changes, efs 'know this stuff' in particular.

Do you mean this firmware I9300XXEMG4
cheers
cancel all that... I have managed to flash my s3 with the I9300XXEMG4 firmware..... and truth be told I was crapping myself when the phone kept looping on the logo screen.... I did a factory reset and cleared the cache.....all is working.....
just a quick update...
My phone is working fine and dandy with the 4.1.2 stock firmware.... I have also discovered that the SIM is unlocked (or was not locked to begin with), tried a Tesco mobile SIM in it last night and it worked fine, was not asked to input unlocking code for it!
result all round..... :laugh:
You help me too. Thx.
So guys, please explain this to me.
After I did an update to 4.3 the efs was changed. I was ok with that, until my hard drive died and I had lost 4.1.2 backup and so, I can't restore my efs.
The problem is: Can i downgrade to I9300XXEMG4 without problems? I mean, I will not have IMEI and network signal problems? I did flashed some 4.3 roms, but I'm not satisfied with them.
after effect in this downgrading process on my s3
I have upgraded from 4.1.2 XXEMH4 to 4.3 GMJ9 VDI first. liked that very much, display battery backup[battery doctor] was on my phone but drains quickly though in reality with lag issue. i found few things in 4.3:
1. time lag,
2. emulated drive
3. IMEI shows correctly but its SW ver shows 11 instead original 01
there were dozens of good features over above these aforementioned issues.
Sometimes wanted to use Samsung's Indian keyboard, downgraded therefore back to xxemh(4.1.2)..
Problems I found,
a. IMEI shows correctly with original SW version 01 but mobile shuts down suddenly quite frequently.
b. my csc becomes unknown while typing *#1234#
c. Both USB and UART options change to modem every phone boots
d. rooted and found csc folder is missing
e. wifi gpars work but Bluetooth can not be turned ON it becomes gray . sometimes phone hangs when I try to put it ON. it restarts automatically at times.
f. phone lags just like that of 4.3
is there any method settle problems of a., c., e. and f.??

Suggest wipe phone via recovery
Mounts and storage format sd card system cache data .
Boot to download mode and flash stock rom for your network .

@JJEgan, thanks for the reply and tips!
a. IMEI shows correctly with original SW version 01 but mobile shuts down suddenly quite frequently.
>>>Mobile as in what network or the phone ??
---Mobile is in Vodafone India on my I9300
b. my csc becomes unknown while typing *#1234# [SOLVED]
>. Flash the correct CSC for your network.
--CSC folder has been recovered this way in the process: re-flashed 4.3 (swc) on existing 4.1.2 (xxemh4), sw version of imei changes to version 11 however IMEI remains same, them flashed another itv (4.1.2) as explained in another thread. I lost imei as it becomes 049....
then I flashed back to my country's 4.1.2 (xxemh4). got IMEIand its sw version correctly and my CSC folder also.
EVERYTIME I FLASH I DO FACTORY RESET AND CACHE WIPE compulsorily FROM stock recovery 3(e)
--------------------------
I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT SINCE LAST FIVE DAYS, basics of flashing I guess I know as i have been doing this since 2009[Samsung Bada on GT-S6353]. I use only stock recovery and stock roms. my problems now reduce to:
1. Bluetooth non functional- can not make it ON. When I slide Bluetooth button to make it ON, phone either hangs and restarts automatically or Bluetooth button goes back original OFF position
2. phone's utilities reset to modem automatically [both UART & USB]. I check this when my s3 can not connect to pc or kies to reload my contacts on s3. This is checked by typing *#7284# and I need to set it UART => MODEM & USB => PDA. But these two setting reset to MODEM automatically whenever I check at later stage [when i found pc doesn't recognise s3].
3. phone lags just like 4.3 even in 4.1.2 [xxemh4]
I will do flashing again! Thanks once again!
=================
Flashing done! It doesn't help me
Khaaba,

I am also facing same issues.
Thanks and regards

Use this link and flash with "I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY". That's the method I followed!
Everything is normal. Then I flashed my country's FW using Odin in PDA mode only!
Hello.
I have a problem which annoys me a lot for a half a year now. Here's the story:
I bought my S3 from secondhand in 2012. It was Android 4.1.2. I was complete newbie that day. When update came off, I wanted to update it via my phone, bu then i threw errors. then i tried it via Kies but also did not managed to. I googled the problem and saw that I am rooted. I listened to people, who said that I should use Odin to upgrade my firmware, So did I. Downloaded latest firmware from sammobile.com. i did everything following the tutorial, but I got the network problem - no connection to the service - no sms, calls, 3g and so on. Only wifi. Then I spend three days trying to google out the problem. Tried almost everything, but as I didint had any backups made for my EFS, and my IMEI was "unknown" as phone said, I assumed that there is nothing i can do there. So I gave phone to the repair service. They fixed it in a day. I got it with the old 4.1.2 firmware version and enjoyed my phone like a year for now. And immediately backed up EFS.
So today I thought that im very bored with this old 4.1.2 and encouraged myself to try upgrade it again. So as I have efs backup, (I also did modem backup) I tried downloading latest 4.3 fimware from sammobile again. (as Im from Lithuania, there is no firmwared for LT, so I downloaded Croatian, because the carrier was the same (Tele2). And here I go again. No network, only wifi. I tried to restore efs, modem - no change with network (Did not managed to recover modem corectly, Odin fails when i want to recover it). then I tried several modems from Perkas file Stash, which i managed install via Odin, but still no change. I truly tried almost every app ant searched every thread in this forum for solution.
Now I tried to flash in to 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4 firmware. And now im stuck with Samsung logo, mobile does not even turn on.
Any solutions? I will apprecaite any information. Thanks
There is no single solution, once the efs is damaged only a reputable repair centre can recode it properly. If it comes back with 4.1 then it isn't hasn't been fixed properly.
