I decided to flash my S3 I9300 to REVOLUTIONARY ROM then flash it back to STOCK ICS ROM because I needed to test something. But when I boot my phone there is no signal anymore. What should I do? I've seen so many tips but those were mostly for JB roms. Mine is ICS. Please help.

When you go in Settings<About Phone, is your IMEI displayed ?
Flash a stock firmware using Odin and factory reset. The firmware must be EMG4 or later, flashing an earlier one as you've done will result in the efs folder being unreadable.

So i flashed a p4 rom and apparently it was not intended for my p4vzw. i know its sad. anyways no worries, got it back on akop, but now i have a unknown baseband. I am searching and searching but i can't seem to find any files on this.
so questions are
1 anyone know if there are radio files.

thanks in advanced

The easy way would be going back to stock, the other way, i know that you can find modems on http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3008
One way to fix it
I've had similar issues lately playing around with installing CM10.1 and the modem getting messed up. I did use adb to make a modem.bin backup from stock ICS, but then could not figure out how to flash it. In the end what I did is flash the original stock ROM. Search for STOCK VZW Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G LTE Factory Firmware PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708.tar
That will put it back to the original Gingerbread factory image. It will have to go through multiple OTA updates to get back to ICS. I know this is a pain to do, but my nandroid backup of the OTA updated stock ICS when restored did not restore the modem, and the modem.bin I created from instructions at mygalaxyway.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-share-your-nandroid-backup-and.html was kind of useless.

Thanks. But i did the factory image and I still get unknown radio. Odin flashed successfully yet no modem.
I'll flash again maybe it was a fluke
SCH-i905?
You have an SCH-i905?
Yea I do. No matter how many times I flash the factory stock in Odin. The radio doesn't stick
does that mean id be able to use the p4wifi rom? i dont care about the radio files i just want one of the p4wifi roms...
Id love to have the ics radio files to flash too. when I odin the stock image it fixes nothing for me.
So basically I found that my csc file is gone. The Lte factory image doesn't include it. I bet it's on purpose.
What ever the case if we get a csc file for the tab and flash it then flash radios or flash firmware then csc it should work.
That's my guess at least. What's weird is there is no factory Firmware to be found on the Samsung site for the i905. Not sure why.

Please let this happen please
So i am still researching this.
I am going to write Samsung mobile to see if they will release the firmware for the tab. I am sure it has to do with Verizon not wanting anyone to keep that i905 that rooted it or flashed the stock firmware.
I can't be the only one that is missing the CSC file after an odin stock firmware flash. and i think its very odd that samsung has every firmware i can think of except the i905.
Im just taking stabs here.
I am also assuming thats the problem, thats the one part of the /system that's missing.
it would be cool if anyone had a i905 with lte and posted their CSC file.
how would i go about requesting that? just post
"[request] CSC file for i905 galaxy tab 10.1"
i have never asked for a request before.

I have done that. When i flash the stock firmware i still don't have a baseband and i can't do any updates.
I have no problem rooting. I just don't any radios.
maybe i am missing something here but once i flash back to firmware stock the radios don't stick so when i when boot up i get unknown radio and no updates are ever found.

I have the same problem. I tried flashing modem it works fine but when I try flashing lte_modem.bin I get an error in red writing and it doesn't flash. I've tried this with every version of Odin. I used the modem files from the full Odin image. I think it was EG01. I download it multiple times nothing has worked.
k,
so if anyone is interested, i finnaly got around to digging and came up with a processes to get the modems back. its technical and i am sure i am doing something wrong cause i can't get it to get on the network. could be a lte chip at this point. anyways.ill try tomorrow
it must be rooted. go to dev settings and check debug and root accsess: apps and adb.
then download EFS professional. go to restore and restore. nothing will change.
flash original firmware with odin.
once it installs you can see your radios... this it where it stops. I can't get it to access LTE. it has correct time and knows its on the verizon network. but no lte.
I then rooted to see if i could carry my radio files to 4.2.2 and i can't. radio unknown. tomorrow i am going to go to VZW and ask them if its a bad sim. will update tomorrow or when i get around to it.
Update:
So it was a bad sim. once a new one was put in i got LTE but now it wont update. Ha one problem after another. So now i can't flash 4.2.2 cause i loose radio. I believe you have to be on ICS before you can flash to 4.2.2, anyways its been a few days and it still thinks its up to date.
So now i need to know how to force an update..... will update if anything else happens
Hi all.
The usb connector broke on my galasy s2 and had to take it to service.
All i asked them not to change my 4.04 version. But they did it anyway! Jeesh!
They put the 4.12 on it, which doesnt suit me.
Is there a way to get 4.04 back?
Can i just flash my previous 4.04 back with odin?
Or use stock recovery or CWM recovery to install the whole package?
When i had 4.04 i did a full backup with CWM recovery, but the file size is so small so it cannot contain the whole OS.
I come from Nokia world where downgrading was not possible so thats why im asking before trying things on my own and breaking it.
Please help.
Thank you.
Yes you can use Odin to go back to 4.0.4......but I'd advise you go to 4.0.3 instead.......4.0.4 stock firmwares are affected by the emmc brickbug which has turned *some* S2s into irrecoverable paperweights.
Whether your phone is one of them or not.....I don't know (you can check this)
For the firmware, go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares to find the correct firmware for your phone/carrier, download, unzip to tar and flash via Odin......simples
sent from either my Alliance powered S2 or my ArcoCM powered W via XDA Developers App
Find which variant you have first. Go to about phone in settings and see if you have I9100G or I9100, if you have I9100G we have all stock firmwares on our development forum, i advise you to go there, i don't know if our variant has emmc brickbug but you can search it.
Thank you for the replies.
I once ran the emmc brick bug check and it said i dont have the bug
My phone is I9100.
Is there anything i need to know about odin, or just connect, click PDA, choose the Firmware and hit start?
I downloaded the correct stock FW from sammobile.
Thanks again.

Yes, if you get bootloop wipe data from recovery.
Just to report back.
I flashed the old 4.04 stock firmware with odin.
Flashing went fine, but when rebooting the phone got stuck at the samsung logo and didnt go further.
Removed battery, put it back, booted stock recovery and wiped everything and phone worked.
So all went just great :=)
This was my first android flash and after this success i might wanna concider some custom ROM:s like cyanogen, but thats another story.
Thanks for the tips peeps.
Hi there! I have an gs3 4.3, rooted with a custom rom on it, when I flashed this rom I lost the original backup of the phone. So now I'm stuck with this rom on 4.3 and I would like to go back to 4.1.2 stock rom, cuz my phone works like s*it since I updated it to 4.3. I heard that if I downgrade I can risk to brick the phone. My GS3 is International, RO Orange. Any advices ?

Here is the firmware for Romania Orange http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17122,download ODIN v3.09 and in the AP/PDA put the file that you download,connect your phone to PC and go to download mode(Power+vol down+home),in odin DON'T tick Re-Partition option,then just press START.
This will WIPE all your data,including INTERNAL STORAGE,better make a backup of photos,music and all personal stuff.
PS : All you need to know about flashing with ODIN,in case you don't undestand what I wrote above ,Multa bafta !!
Thank you a lot! Multumesc. Have a nice day

You're welcome,happy to help a compatriot
So now I have a problem, it won't pass the logo screen..It keeps showing the Orange logo, than samsung, over and over again.
PS: When I open Odin, up in the left, in the logo writes, ODIN I9505. I have I9300..
No worries, I managed to repair it, I made a factory reset from recovery mode. Now it works fine but I have another thing that bothers me. How to stop that software update appear, and I can't make phone calls, ONLY ENERGENCY CALLS! My signal is full..
I managed the network, imei problem too, with odin, installing modem MG4. Thank YOU!!!
Hi
I am New To XDA
I have a Galaxy S3 i9300 International. I rooted it succesfully and Installed CWM recovery on it. And i tried to install custom ROMS but After installing Custom RoMs I couldnt get Network Signal. Coverage quickly comes and disappears. Sim also not showing. Tried Almost 5 ROMS ( Kitkat, Lollipop , S5 Ported etc....)
But nothing helped. But when i go to stock rom everything works like charm no any problems.
Why cant i get network in any of CuStom ROMs
NOTE: Tried Registering Manually too
@shamuzny: which stock ROM does work for you (build and baseband)?
If your stock rom is 4.1.2 then it is efs v1. You need efs v2 to get signal on kitkat or lolipop roms. First install an official 4.3 rom for your country and upgrade your efs. Then install custom roms that you said.
But IMPORTANT!!! get a clean efs backup of your old v1 incase you want to go back. And after you install 4.3 get an clean efs of your v2 efs too...
If you dont know what i am talking about, make a good search, understand everything and then do it. If you do something wrong there may be no going back....

This is my baseband
@shamuzny: then you should have efs v2 -data. As advised yet, download the actual firmware from sammobile.com, flash it with Odin and make a factory reset in recovery. Then root again and make an efs-backup. Network access at the end of procedure?

Actually I bought the phone from Dubai and i dont know its original country of manufacture
So i flashed it by Sri Lanka"s Firmware which i had earlier. How to find the country of manufacture? Please help me
@boomboomer, will you help a bit?

Download this two zip files first. They will wipe your entire phone including system and kernel as their names.
First flash the kernel clean then flash megawipe via a custom recovery.
Then without rebooting (wont boot because there is no system) hold power home and vol down and get to odin mode. Flash your 4.3 to the phone and see if that worked... if not, dial *#06# and check your imei number.
Hey,
My friend was running a flawless custom rom on his s3. Suddenly, it turns off by itself and the phone is then stuck on boot logo.
1. I tried to factory reset with no luck.
2. I tried to install stock 4.3 with no luck.
3. I tried to install 4.1.2. The phone booted but with no recovery. Then i noticed that imei changed to *0049 and i'm not registered on network (even though it was working well on the custom rom).
4. I tried to upgrade to 4.3, i got succeeded but recovery didnt install.
5. I tried to install the custom rom again but no luck.
6. I tried all patches of modems and kernels and ariza. All Failed.
7. I also tried EFS backup/restore and Failed.
My only concern is to know what made this issue appear all by itself ?? Because i guess we should take it to a mobile repair shop.
One last thing to say is that every time i try to install a software, available space gets low, and even if i delete some files from internal storage the storage wont free up.
Thank you !
get stock 4.3 fom and flash it via Odin (wipe everything before flash). Then flash recovery via odin. then backup efs. then flash custom roms.
downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.x causes efs to become corrupted
Seems like a corrupt nand. Was it rooted previously when it died the first time?.
Going from 4.3 to 4.1.2 will cause the imei to be lost as the efs encryption changed at 4.3. You cannot go back.
If the phone has a custom rom on it try an official cwm recovery, if not or it doesn't work then proceed to the following:
If you can get the phone into download mode try flashing the stock firmware twice or thrice with a factory reset in between each flash. Do not allow the phone to boot into the os!!. If it attempts to boot to OS after the blue pass in odin then pull the battery out immediately and boot to recovery or download mode respective of what you are doing at the time, resetting or flashing.
If that fails you can then call it a dead phone.

Wow these are new solutions to me..
I really thank you guys and i'll look forward into trying them in any upcoming problems.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
And just to mention, yes the phone was rooted when it went bricked suddenly.
I'd try to flash an official cwm and if it takes then flash back to stock twice with a reset, reroot and leave it as that. Custom roms aren't worth the paper they're written on.
In addition to downgrading from 4.3 to an earlier version, but forgot at the time of writing, you can downgrade but you need an efs backup from the time it was at 4.1.2, which has to be restored but I'm not sure of the process. I couldn't tell you if it has to be restored before flashing, after or both.
Not a lot of people have an efs backup from 4.1.2. I do, but then my phone hasn't acted wierd yet. Sods law.
Kies 2 (not kies 3) can restore the phone but only if it was in original condition. You can try the emergency recovery routine but don't hold your breath.
Beamed in by telepathy.
You're right.. Efs is the only part most of us miss !!
I wrote all of the steps you said in order.. So that if any problem occur ill deal with it based on your info.
Btw do you suggest using KK TW 4.4.4 by back-to-n00t ? Or this wont be considered as a kind of official firmware ?
