Please help me to downgrade this I9300 to any 4.0.4 version!
It was on 4.1.2 XXEMG4, I've downgraded it to 4.1.2 XXELLA, and now I've managed to downgrade to 4.1.1
The phone state is now like in this picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
or in this one:

I still need to downgrade it to 4.0.4, but after flash without any error, phone could not find any correct partition.
I've tryed with Odin 3.0.4, 3.0.7 and 3.0.9, with correct PIT, without PIT, I've cleared cache partition, I've cleared dalvik cache with a custom recovery... phone is always in this status:

This actually worked! Thank you for posting this. That option in CWM was the only one that actually recognized the /data and removed the corrupted image/preloader I flashed previously using the S5 SIII rom.
Thanks again]
Hope it helps.
@HackT3k: if MG4 was working, you cannot go back without losing your telephone functions. Also ELLA wouldn't work.

Sorry I can't help, but was just wondering why you want to go back to ICS with it's risk of sudden death issues, as it seems like a lot of hassle?

FIXED: My own stupid. I also have a SGS2 and was using the wrong image as they a named similarly and reside in the same folder.
Hi all,
I wanted to flash teh stock Firmware to my S3 and Odin hangs at NAND Write Start.
Phone: Galaxy S3 International Version
Carrier: O2 Germany
What I have done before:
1. I was tired of waiting for OTA updates by my Carrier so I went to samfirmware.com and flashed the latest Firmware they had for my Phone (German Open; XXALF6). - No Problems
2. Since I like root, I flashed CF 6.4.
3. I installed TriangleAway and reset the flash counter.
Thats it, no further modifications.
Now, since my CSC actually seems able to deliver OTA updates and I want them, I decided to get the original Firmware from samfirmware for my CSC (XXALE8). But when I try to flash it via Odin, it hangs at "NAND Write Start" without any progress.
When I get bored and simply disconnect the USB cable, this does not hurt the phone, but i want the original Firmware on my phone again.
Any suggestions? I am open for anything but would prefer if it didn't involve wiping/factory resetting the phone.
Galaxy I9300
Android 4.0.4 Stock with CF 6.4
Baseband: I9300XXLF5
Kernel: 3.0.15-705505-user [email protected] #1
Buildnumber: IMM76D.I9300XXALF6
Cheers,
Ape

"Safe Mode" is enabled if the EFS partition of your device is corrupted.
Sometimes if you succeeded in fixing the EFS partition, you stuck in factorymode.

Thank you so much, this actually worked!!!!
I didn't have TWRP, so I use the newest Philz Touch recovery. Also I used an Austrian Stock rom, not yours. It worked at the first try!
Now I only need to figure out if I can use anything else than stock rom.
Little Addon:
I tried flashing Blekota v11 rom and I couldn't make calls again. But knowing it has to do with a non patched modem, I tried flashing Boeffla kernel. It works perfectly!
tnx tnx tnx, i try 5:h with other method , only this work :good:
i am really frustrated with my s3, since July i am trying to install custom rom(tried 5-6 ROM), but after i finished and reboot, always i've got UNKNOWN baseband and IMEI! i need to reflash again to stock firmware and the baseband and imei will be fixed.

Like boomboomer said more detail is needed their are many reasons why you lose imei one of the main ones is upgrade from efs v1 to efs v2 if you post the information that @boomboomer as asked for then he and others including myself will be able to answer your question better.
i just followed the procedure here:
http://www.android.gs/install-paranoid-android-4-6-beta-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300/
also this one procedure

Are you doing a clean install with each rom and factory reset?
We still need details.
yes clean restore with factory reset
Hello! I badly NEEDED your help guys!
My Device is Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.
I have installed a new firmware, its android version is 4.3 and an open line version for Philippines.
But it can't make and can't receive call and sms. (I have tested all the 4.3 version that is open line from sammobile.com, but it didn't work to my carrier)
The only solution I think is to flash a new modem, or to bring it back to its default stockrom which is 4.1.2(this device is bought from Israel, but it works to our carriers in the Philippines.)
The picture below is the screenshot of my device before.

Please HELP me, I really NEED you assistance please.
@jphilip04: is IMEI, showed in settings, the same as shown on the label under battery?
@rp158, yes sir, they were the same. What should I do now? Please.
@jphilip04: go back to your last firmware with working net access (with Odin). If everythings works fine there, let it update to 4.3 by KIES. If you still have net access, try to install your Phillipines-firmware.

@rp158, The problem is, I can't find the default firmware from sammobile.com. Because my device was bought from Israel. I tried to search it on google, but theres' no link that can direct me to download the exact firmware with the exact modem version.
But before I did anything on my device, I also did a nandroid backup to my default firmware thru TWRP recovery .
@jphilip04: I find on sammobile.com Israel-EMC2-build. So what?

@rp158 And what about the baseband version? Is it I9300JKEMC1 too? because I can't find the firmware with the same BASEBAND VERSION: I9300JKEMC1 on sammobile.
@jphilip04: not important. If you loose IMEI with old firmware, do nothing with OTA or KIES but flash immediatly the actual Israel-firmware with Odin.
