Bad ESN/IMEI can't be activated. The International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) number is a global base. When you report a phone lost or stolen it's put on the list as non-activateable if I understand how it works. You'll have to buy a new phone or find out why the IMEI is locked and try to get around it.
Please do not make duplicate threads. Thread locked
I purchased the above phone in China 3 weeks ago to use in the USA. Everything is in Chineese, and even when I go to the internet it uses the China internet browser. How do I change the software over to the US version? There is no sim card, and the phone has never been activated.
Android version 4.0.4, Baseline i9300ZNLH3, Kernel 3.0.15-1038370-user, build number IMM76D.I9300ZNBLH3.
if the chineese s3 version is smilar to the international s3 you can use the normal method to flash roms with odin in download mode. use forum search.
check product code backside your s3 behind battery
This is what is behind battery:
GT-I9300
CMIIT ID: 2012CP2597
Yup, the model is i9300 which is the international model, meaning you can just download a stock rom from any English-speaking country and flash it and when you reboot the phone it'll give you the option to set everything up in English.
Unless of course, you bought a counterfeit (China's pretty well known for making them) in which case I wish you the best of luck xD
Cool, I will search the posts and figure out how as I am a newbe and never done that before, Thanks for all the help.
Check out "john4lakers" on youtube. He did a fake s3 video, compare yours.. Hope its not

I would erase your IMEI off of this page so that people cannot steal it...

Follow the instructions on these 2 sites:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s3-i9300/
The first site tells you how to root the phone so you can flash a ROM into it, and the 2nd site tells you how to flash a stock ROM and then unroot the phone in case you don't wanna void the warranty. The site from which you can download the ROM is in the 2nd site
Man, please delete your IMEI, somebody may use it to screw thing up with your phone.
i sent him a pm.. Didnt notice he posted the whole thing.. Need a mod to do it urgently !!!

Got thru the first root process, everything when well. Working on installing the stock firmware. Could not find a US version, downloading one for the Mexico region. Hope that will work. It is downloading now so I can finish the process of installing.
Just finished rooting and un-rooting. I had alittle trouble, but the video helped alot. It was succesful. I installed a Mexico version of the phone to get rid of the China version. My question is, is there a US version avilible? I notice alot of cautions about installing the US or Canada version on this phone, and they are specific to a carrier.
Maybe I am not understanding everything correctly. If I install a custom root, does that do teh same thing? I wanted to get rid of teh country specific icons for China and get to the US ones, and that has happened for the most part. Now the screens and wallpaper are showing the Mexico carriers name.
Sorry if these are basic questions.
This forum is for I9300 International model only .
Firmware that is not for I9300 model will brick your phone .
USA see sticky top of the forum .

Hi,
As I'm new to the area, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I bought a SII from UK (T-Mobile unlocked) and have been using it in Turkey. Yesterday, as JB wasn't available for T-Mobile UK yet, I downloaded 4.1.2 for Vodafone UK. After installing it, my device began asking network unlock PIN. (I should have downloaded an unbranded ROM, I learned it later.)
I rooted the phone for the first time and tried to unlock it with Galaxy Sim Unlock, but no good. I installed back the 4.0.4 for T-Mobile, but the problem continues.
Now I'm stuck with the phone. Any help, direction, lead to relevant forums would be appreciated. (The ones I searched and read was above my knowledge.)
Here is the screenshot showing the details of the phone.
What can I do without losing the IMEI, etc. information?
Thanks,

with basic knowledge you can't do much...
btw - did you try all unlocking apps from market??
No, just Galaxy Sim Unlock. All the time, I was reading about similar problems and when I saw about the EFS backup requirement, I stopped trying. And looked for more experienced support, here. I didn't want to mess up IMEI as it would cause lots of trouble.
Sure, it takes time to learn but if it'a phone which serves every communication, time urges. So, will keep on reading and find something.
By the way, as going back to ICS didn't help, I thought it would be better to be on JB if I could unlock the phone. Now I have this on my phone (again unrooted):
Baseband version: I9100XXLS8
Kernel version: 3.0.31-889555
[email protected]#3
...
Build Number
JZ054K.I9100XWLSJ
When I was trying to find a way to root, I saw different kernels but I couldn't understand the exact one I needed. From what I read here: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399", I have to use a kernel with LSJ. Is it true?

You flashed a branded ROM on an unbranded phone.

i went through the same ordeal! download galaxsim unlock from xda! it worked for me after trying a whole buch of other ones including galaxsim unlock 1.43. good luck!
I'm sure it was a stupid thing to do but give to the long time waiting for JB and getting another ICS. But the phone wasn't unbranded totally, I hated that T-mobile animation on every boot.
Just one thing, as I asked above, can you suggest a kernel to root. I gave the information above and I was confused with the many options to choose among. I'm not sure which one is for me.
Re: [Q] Phone locked after JB
Flash unbranded jb.
If it's still blocked get galaxysim unlock, it's free here at xda.

Solved-thanks.
I solved the problem with the method vanisleryan suggested. I installed unbranded jb as you said. Thanks everyone.
