Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung SIII and tried to look for information, but I am lost with so much thread to read and not sure which one is current.
Could someone please give me a direction where I should begin?
I have a Samsung SIII model SGH-T999 with Android version 4.1.1
Thanks,
Tri

Hello all,
I live in The Netherlands and I had bought the Samsung Galaxy SIII from a telephone provider in the Netherlands.
I had an official ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SIII and everything worked ok.
It was working on Android 4.1.2. and I wanted to flash it to Android 4.3. with Odin. It was the first time I ever flashed something in my life so I was very happy that it seems to turn out well.
But I discovered that I have a big problem on my hands know because my IMEI is completly gone, my phone number has become unknown and my network is gone too!
I still can use WI-FI on my phone but that's it!
Does anyone has any idea how this can be solved?

Hi!
I have installed 3rd custom rom that is based on galaxy s5 user interface and thus is the third time I am facing the same problem. Everything runs fine but this doesn't detect my sim card. First I flashed flashingdroid faced the same problem then i flashed efextreme lite v5.0, in this at first the camera wasn't working but solution for this problem was mentioned in the original thread itself. So I flashed the given kernel in the thread and the camera was fixed but again I lost my signals and it said that insert a sim card.
Now I flashed hypermax v8 and again the problem is same, "Insert sim card".
What can i do to fix this??
Please help!!!

Standard-question: is IMEI, shown in 'info', the same as on the label behind the battery?

For IMEI it says "unknown".
Then don't focus on SIM-card but on restoring IMEI / efs-data. Read the recent posts over these items here 1st...

Thanks for your suggestion.
As you told me I did read the latest threads posted here but unfortunately I didn't find anything helpful. As it is I am not concerned with the original imei as far as my phone is working. Also it was working with efextreme v5.0 as mentioned above but after flashing the kernel given for fixing camera i lost the network. Earlier i was using cyanogemod 12 but due to lag and FC'S I had to change the rom. But it was working fine if you ignore the FC and lag however I don't have any idea about what my imei no. Was.
If you find calling and receiving calls belong to a working phone, you've to follow boomboomer's advices for restoring efs-data. Don't understand, why you don't find it, but there is no better.

Could you please share the link.
ONE link is useless. Go one level higher to Q&A and enter 'restore efs' or 'restore IMEI' in 'Search this forum'. Then pick at first the short threads, which are answered by boomboomer. So you'll get an overview and solutions.
(There are also long threads with witchy procedures and only little chance of success. Not very recommendable.)
I have the some problem like you could you get a solution
My samsung galaxy note i717 is soft bricked and need the stock rom to download.
