I just return from trip in China
I bought a S3 just before getting on the metro to the airport. the model is GT-I9300_CHN_CU
After getting back, I realized that I am not able to install a great many app, and the google play store is missing.
After numerous attempt to download and install the play store apk, which I am not able to get it to work
I try flashing it with a UK version ROM with Odin3 v3.04, however just before the last part, while writing the modem part, Odin report the operation as a failure
Now I am stuck with "Firmware upgrade enountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again" on the main screen.
I did not backup with Kies earlier so I am not able to perform recovery
I am trying to find the firmware for the China Model SIII, can anyone help me by pointing to the location where I can download the origonal and correct formware to get it running again ......:crying:
I am really an amature on this.
thanks for the assistance

Thanks it WORKS!!!

mobile odin
Hi mate i also have a china unicom samsung s3. i changed my firmware to the latest polish jelly bean 4.1.2 using mobile odin pro which i got from the chinese samsung apps store and it worked like a charm. using normal odin messes up the unicom boot loader partition. that is how you bricked your phone.
my phone now boots with the unicom logo and then shows the european galaxy logo ....
also you might want to check titanium backup pro which i got for play store for backing up your phone and applications. its great !!!!

dear I have Galaxy note 3 Sm-n900 i had the same problem this is how i fixed the problem
1. Power of your device
2- when completely of hold volume up+ home button+ power button together for few secs
3- when Samsung logo shows up release all 3 keys and it will come into recovery mode
4- first erase all user data( use volume down to navigate and power button to select)
5- erase cache/wipe cache(same procedure)
6- now reboot
when your phone will boot up it will be fixed
but remember to keep SIM Card in phone while doing this
I hope it can help you
if the problem is still there you can flash the ROM once again some times it also helps
any other help i am always there to help

Brother if you are mobile phone repair professional repair imei with any supported box. If you are not a mobile phone repair professional go to a mobile phone repairing shop your problem will solve.

Hi there, how exactly do I flash the MG4 modem.bin via Odin
I would be doing this for the ATT version of the Galaxy S3 but I am encountering the same issues that the OP here is describing
I have Odin and know how to use it, just not sure where I find the MG4 modem bin file
Best Solution that works

I agree with you on this and I've done it myself and it works 110%. So if any of u guys out there are facing the same problem, don't waste your money on sending your phone to the service center, they'll just eat up your money and your time.....instead just follow the steps and I can bet u it'll solve your problems. I have rooted my Samsung S3 from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 to 4.3 and then downgraded it back to 4.1.2 which only then I encountered the problem of "Not Registered on Network". But then, after going through various forums and lastly your article, I decided to try it out myself and it works beautifully without any hiccups.
Prior to doing anything on your phone, u have to download Odin3 v.3.09 and after that, make sure u download the following firmware:-
a) AP_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
b) BL_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
c) MODEM_I9300BUUGMJ3_REV02_REV04_CL1413323.tar.md5 file
d) CSC_VFG_I9300VFGGMJ5_1986192_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Just for pointers, please follow closely these steps:- (No shortcut please)
1. Load the file sinto Odin now:
Click on the AP button on Odin and select the AP_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Click on the BL button on Odin and select the BL_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Click on the CP button on Odin and select the MODEM_I9300BUUGMJ3_REV02_REV04_CL1413323.tar.md5 file
Click on the CSC button on Odin and select the CSC_VFG_I9300VFGGMJ5_1986192_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
2. Click the Start button to begin flashing the Android 4.3 firmware on your International Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, and wait until you see a PASS! message in Odin’s top left box.
3. When you get PASS! message, your phone will restart automatically. You can then disconnect your phone from PC.
If you see FAIL message instead of the PASS in Odin’s top left box, that a problem. Try this now: disconnect your S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and thenrepeat from Step 3 of this guide again.Also, If device is Stuck at setup connection or on any other process, then too, try this: disconnect your S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and then repeat from Step 3 of this guide again.
Good Luck & may the force be with u............

Hi all
thanks for all,
I got the solution , i Flash bootloader with odin.
Now my phone is stared but not getting able to register in Mobile network , seems my IMIE number is lost ,
I have old nandroid backup i am going to restore to store my IMIE
Thanks All for your help
Hate to break it to you, but restoring a nandroid isn't that likely to bring your IMEI back. If you're very lucky, flashing a stock rom for your country/carrier (if you're already running one, flash others) might bring it back if it's a case of temporary IMEI loss. If not, many mobile repair shops (not Samsung service centres) should be able to write the IMEI back to the device relatively cheaply. And if not, a Samsung authorised repairer can do it (or they may replace the motherboard which has already been suggested to you), but that can obviously be somewhat expensive.
Or if lucky op might find a efs backup somewhere in internal memory
