Still 'no network' after several attempts of fixing

So I tried different ROM's, 4.3 onwards (Official stock from samsung, I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXXGML1_XEO, JustArchi_I9300XXUGML4, JustArchi_I9300XXUGMK6, CM's and more)
Tried ale these: Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip, XXUGMK6 Modem, XXEMG4 (EFS V2), JustArchi_Kernel_XXUGMK6 etc. All dedicated for EFS2
Currently I am working on one from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-sammys-4-3-btu-deodexed-rooted-t2569180/page14
Did all that what was instructed and I am still having an issue with our beloved "Not registered in network" thing
It seems it is all okay, I have IMEI number same as under battery, Network bars are avaialable, Network recognized (as above in screenshot: Chess) radio is working but still can't register network. I have passed miles digging on web - every thing hopeless. In Get RIL it says that it is not installed, maybe that is a crucial thing. Guess the only explanation is that my EFS is corrupted.

I know you have tried flashing a patched modem but I think you need to flash both patched modem and kernel.Try flashing both of these patched modem and patched kernel from here >> https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8#list << and report back. Try both of the mk6 versions
Of course I tried both every time. For example rom JustArchi_I9300XXUGMK6 and then I patched it with JustArchi_Kernel_XXUGMK6 and JustArchi_Modem_XXUGMK6. Also tried these you ment above (both)
Applied same combination for I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXXGML1_XEO which is official ROM and proceeded same procedure.
I have tried that as well on other XXUGMK6 roms but nothing helped. I didn't use use any Ariza etc. I know it may fck up the whole thing

I think you are confusing things here forget about roms your problem is that your efs is corrupt and you need a patched modem and a patched kernel the rom is not important as long as it is a newer stock rom. The link I sent you is for specific patched modems and kernels that work with corrupt efs these are what you need.
You keep mentioning JustArchie Rom and modem these work with efs v2 but as far as I know they are not patched to fix a corrupt efs. What you need to do is flash a stock rom any one will do newest one the better the JustArchie one will do in your link and then flash the kernel and modem in my link. Don't forget both the modem and kernel need to be patched or it won't work. As far as I know both of JustArchi modems and kernels are not specifically patched for corrupt efs although i think he does a patched modem in one of his threads.
Try my suggestion this as worked for many people who have your problem although it doesn't work for everybody. Hope it helps If it doesn't work then I recommend a service repair.

Thank you for your answer Are your patches working only for 4.3 rom's? Is there any specific you would reccomend?

They aren't my patches ( I wish I was brainy enough to make them ) I only provide the link the patches are thanks to Süleyman Yelgec. They are for 4.3 roms v2 efs that are corrupt please note if they work you will always need to use them if you change to other roms. Try the mk6 modem and kernel first or a combination of the others..

Well, none of these worked. I am living in the woods at the moment so can't send it to service I am struggling with that for 2 weeks already but can't manage. Most likely my efs is corrupted. I will probably still try to solve this
flash Modem DDEMG2.zip to get your imei. Then flash Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip to get mobile signel

Tried that but still I am stuck a the same point. The thing is that I get an imei number, it appears that it also detect my mobile network (Chess mobile - only emergency calls). It is supposed to to connect to network automatically but nope, even if I replace a simcard - same problem occurs. Choosing manually network does not help either. I am hoping that there will come a patch which will solve the damned thing.
It all has been fixed up by itself. Really I don't get it. Both of my simcards didn't work and lately I've got data network and today it registered to network. As I said I tried several times with 4.3 rom but none of these worked so I gave up. I hate 4.3 roms so just installed CM 12.1 and used mobile as a music device. So eventually got a connection and everything works as before.
Holy s..t, is there any explanation for this? I am so confused

I think that it is because of kernel. My brother also have s3. He is not getting mobile network in stock kernels. He got mobile network only in boeffla kernel & Agni kernels. Flash boeffla kernel in stock rom then try flashing modems. I think now u no need to flash modem because u got a network in cm rom. Simply flash stock & install kernel.
Good Luck :good:

What is this?
It's a modem and kernel for your Japanese market SC-02C that is ODIN flashable.
usual disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible for any STD's you get as a result of flashing this.
Flash this in ODIN AFTER you flash the ROM of your choice, and you will have good reception and working GPS.
Info:
baseband SC02COMKF2
kernel [email protected] #2
You should also NOT see a yellow triangle at the Docomo screen on boot.
Here it is:
http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/computers/android/SC02C/SC02C_ModemandKernelOnlyODIN_v1.tar
md5 ae6b67667f09264551914ee17132d50e
Flash as a PDA in ODIN.
NOT USING AN SC02C and not sure what this is? IGNORE IT and leave it alone!
I've tested this to work on Cognition and Litening so far. works fine.
For those of you that are bone stock, from the factory and want root. All you gotta do is flash CF-Root-SGS2_XW_ODD_KE8-v4.0-CWM4 with ODIN then flash this.
Great! thanks for putting this together. Beats the manual method.
For those outside japan that don't know, we need this specific kernel/baseband because its the only kernel in existence that supports the TV tuner on the japanese S2 and the baseband gives optimal 3G performance here, so we usually need both of these after applying a custom rom, and the Odin files haven't been supplied on the Kies servers yet (these were ripped out of live phones).
in my testing, GPS also will not work without the SC02C kernel installed. Just the baseband and it won't work. no chance in hell (I think?) of getting an overclock kernel with GPS drivers created unless we get a source from NTT, but I doubt that will ever happen.
Should probably include a warning not to flash this on anything but an SC-02C. Wouldn't kill it but wouldn't have any beneficial effects and would probably necessitate a full rom reflash to recover unless the user saved a baseband image.

kinda sorta. The above listed kernel/baseband combo pack doesn't work. If you flash it over your CM7 it won't boot because the kernel and OS are mismatched.
I've tarred this file:
http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/computers/android/SC02C/SC02C_ModemOnlyODIN_v1.tar
It's the same as the original one, but it's just the modem. No Kernel.
I'm running CM7 109 with this flashed over it right now and reception is great, but no GPS/TV since those drivers are in the SC02C kernel.
recap:
CM7 as is = works on SC02C but 0-1 bar reception max since the baseband is incorrect. No GPS/TV.
CM7 with SC02C modem flashed = Everything works great, but no GPS/TV.
CM7 with SC02C kernel/modem flashed = Won't boot.
I've also noticed that the camera works fine in still, but when I switch to video it force closes. Probably more CM7 specific though...
Cheers!
ps, i'm grabbing SC02COMKJ4 right now and going to see if I can get that to work with CM7. Doubtful though. What's the latest full release for the SC02C from docomo? 2.3.5?
*EDIT* SC02COMKJ4 kernel doesn't work with CM7 109.

4.0.3 is alright.
Is your phone rooted, you never flashed it right?
If so, why don't you claim warranty. These devices shouldn't go off on itself.

Yes, my phone is rooted, I've bought it on a different country that which I live, so warranty is not an option by now, I am from Peru, and my phone came with stock ICS with no carrier, so I am looking for stock ICS on sammobil.com but there are only carrier's stock software, example (claro or movistar companies with annoying logon screen) so please where may I get an official stock ICS for my SGT-I9100 ?

I think you've installed a I9100G ROM instead of a I9100 ROM.
You have an I9100 phone right? Check below the battery just to be sure.
If you do, then:
Can you get to Download Mode? My guess is yes, so you can flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Here's a guide for boot issues & whatnot if the above doesn't work.

Hello gastonw, I could restore my phone, I did some mistakes but, everything went better than expected, so here are the steps I followed
1. I've downloaded siyah (great kernel btw) and then made a backup of everything on my phone.
2. Wiped Dalvik and factory/data cache
3. I've downloaded a stock ROM ICS 4.0.3 (latin america ROM) using google (hard to find, but everything is possible)
4. Flashed with odin 3.07 and was successful...then I turned mad 'cause I thought I lost all my data but... I made a backup.
5. Installed touch-CWM 6.0.1.2
6. Restored backup from CWM and voilá my phone was completely operative and functional with all my old app and configuration
Additional info: My software asked for an update from SAMSUNG.COM and now I have ICS 4.0.4 and runs too smoothly
Thanks for your support

That's good to hear man.
Since you are on 4.0.4 remember the brick bug thing. As long as you are on siyah, everything's good.
Here you can find many ICS ROMs (branded & unbranded), in case you wanna get rid of all carrier bloat.
Hi and Merry Christmas everyone.
I have a little problem I am hoping that you might be able to help with.
Little history - this phone was stock until today because Samsung update killed the phone (everything was FC, and reflash, format etc, didn't fix it! Damn you Samsung for ****ty build!!)
Anyway - this is the fifth phone I have Rooted and Flashed to custom ROM - so I kinda know what I am doing, but this one has stumped me a little (wasn't doing this one because I used for Work, and it was under Warranty - out of warranty now anyway, so.... just forced my hand to root/upload custom ROM it)
Every Time I do a new ROM install I wipe the Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Backup EFS folder, and Format System (this is the way I did it with all my phones, and the way I was taught to get really stable working ROM).
I am in New Zealand with an GT-I9300 (nice Red Brand) - brought from DickSmith, Unlocked.
The problem I have is that when I install a custom ROM from here (so far I have tried three), I keep getting the "Emergency Calls Only" issue and the Phone won't manually connect to my phone carrier (New Zealand - 2Degrees).
What I have done to look over the issue so far is:
1) Installed Recovery cwmtouch-6.0.3.2
2) Installed CM10 Final cm-10.2.0-i9300 - tested to make sure phone was working okay based on CM10, worked fine - can make calls, and stock CM10 working perfect. The Baseband Driver is 1930BUUGMJ3, and the IMEI is 3539********** (so everything okay there)
Build number: cm_i9300-userdebug 4.3.1 JLS36I dfd0cbed2d test-keys
*#1234#
Doesn't work on CM10.... Dialer Codes don't work on CM10 - blah!
3) Installed S4 Revolution v11 ROM. Since this was already using 1930BUUGMJ3, I didn't flash the MG4 that's included in the ROM installer. Everything working as expected, however I am always getting Emergency Calls Only. Confirmed Baseband Driver is 1930BUUGMJ3 and the IMEI is 3539********** (so I would think everything okay... but no - will not connect to my New Zealand Carrier).
*#1234#
AP: i9300XXUGMJ9
CP: i9300BUUGMJ3
CSC: unknown
4) Re-flashed this ROM, and this time replaced the modem driver with the MG4. Again all working fine, but still no Carrier connection.
5) I installed the ROM Android_Revolution_HD-SGS3_40.0 - it replaced the Baseband Driver with the 1930BUUGMJ3 again, and the IMEI is 3539********** (again no change), and once again this didn't work.

6) Rebuild back to CM10 - everything working again.
The one thing I am noticing (not sure if this is the problem - but just adding the differences I see) when I use the IMEI check (*#06#) with this ROM (and Revolution) I notice that the IMEI SV is showing (/11) at the end of it - So it is 3539*********** / 11. However, with CM10, it isn't so is only 3539***********
(however, when I look at Status - it has the IMEI showing without the IMEI SV, and the IMEI SV shows in the IMEI SV row).
So this probably isn't the issue either.
Serial Number is the Same also - so that hasn't changed.
The Device Status is Custom for CM10 and this ROM - so nothing changed there either.
So I am a bit stuck now, I don't know where else to go - because I was going to manually update the Modem, but, I don't think that is the problem since the Driver seems to work okay with CM10. And more importantly, I am a little worried about just flashing random stuff on the phone without having some clear understanding on what I am flashing. So don't want to just flash for the hell of flashing - so if someone has some guidance that would be helpful.
Can anyone else give me some ideas on this?

Hi
Thanks fr the suggestion however I am not really sure if this is the right thing to be using based on what I have stated - for example, the version of ROMS I have already tried flashing.
I read over in [REF] IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff (i9300) - including "no network" about this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289) which stated the following
How does "Ariza patch" fit in to this?
Ariza patch does not fix IMEI issues. It fixes "00000" Serial number issues, which has similar symptoms. This patch does not work on EFS v2 ROMs. If you use it, you may irreparably break your phone.
Also it would seem, Phones that had this patch ON EFS v1 ROMS will break their IMEI if they upgrade to EFS v2 ROMS.
As yet, there is nothing proved to resolve this issue fully. Search the Ariza thread for posts by zuluman for potential fixes. This Page is hopefully the most useful or one of the patched modems posted
It would probably be best to get the serial number professionally restored either under warranty or by sla mobile repair shop. The Ariza patch was always only fixing something that should have been fixed under warranty anyway.... now we are seeing this issue - cut your losses

My Serial number hasn't gone to 0000. It is different to the serial number that CM10 uses... but it isn't 0000.
My understanding is that CM10, and the ROMS I have tried are EFS V2 ROMS (since they use the new Modem Driver). Therefore this could possible make things worse?
serious a problem If you conducted a downgrade. the CM rom not change the modem, maybe that's why after I install a CM even you have signal. maybe your problem is you do not sign up with any modem or modem change causes something weird that makes you lose the signal.

JellyYogurt: Sorry I am confused then, because people were stating in many threads that some people have possible screwed up their EFS - and my understanding is that the new Modem is what upgrades the EFS not the ROM. (also not sure why there was !!!! not sure it was required, since I am asking for help in the HELP and TROUBLESHOOTING section of this forum)
I might be wrong, but this is kinda what I am reading on the threads in the ROMs about people who are having No Network issues also.
I have tried to use that plugin however it doesn't work (always downloading) so I am going to look for the patch they are talking about and try to run that.
mojonx0droid: I haven't done a downgrade - I have used CM10, and that has worked fine. Then I tried the two roms I have suggested, and both have had the same issue where it won't find the network anymore. I can revert back to CM10 and it works fine again.
Also not sure what you mean by Signing up to any modem changes? As stated, my Modem appears to have updated already, and I have also tried using the Modem's that are included in the ROMs supplied.
CM10 is working fine, it is only the ROMs I have tried on here which are having the issues.

Hey mate,
Are your really certain with that? I have a similar problem, messed up my EFS partition and lost my EFSv1 Backup files, but at least I could successfully restore the EFSv2 files. Unfortunately I did not Backup my i9300's original EFS state.
Now I cannot unlock the SIM card anymore when running AOSP-based roms und when booting with no SIM card inside there's a strange serial number.
A few days ago I was starting to think if AOSP-based roms aren't compatible with EFSv2 (yet?). It would be good to know if this actually is the problem.
You don't know a way to convert EFSv2 files back to EFSv1, do you?

In fact I think you have just hit my problem....
As stated the whole reason I have gone custom ROM is due to the fact that Samsung update failed to update on my phone (flashed okay, but all applications afterwards were giving FC, including TouchWiz, etc, etc. Did factory resets, the works, but nothing worked.)
However, after that CM10 worked fine, but everything here hasn't worked so far.
Could it be ... maybe. that the original Samsung update upgraded the EFS to V2.
Is there a way for me to tell if EFS is on V2 or V1?
If it is V2 - then I know the problem, and then I will just have to use Custom Roms which support V2 (which my understanding is CM10 and CM11 - but I might be wrong).

There's an app called GalaxSim Unlock. Download it from the play store and start it (needs root).
If it tells you your phone is updated to a new system not supported yet it should be EFSv2.
Search XDA for EFS repair... You should find a giant topic that might help you. Unfortunately it didn't work for me anymore...
And by the way, CM is an AOSP-based rom so it will only work with EFSv1. If you have lost your EFSv1 you can run Samsung original roms, Samsung leaked roms and Samsung-based custom roms...

This is it - the Samsung Update Over The Air upgraded the EFS to V2, this is why I am having issues with the AOSP on here which are not upgraded to V2 EFS.
And if CM is an AOSP based Rom how come CM10 works fine? (In fact I have just reflashed back to CM10 and it is working fine - and confirmed that GalaxSim is giving the same Device updated Error)
So it appears CM10 is using EFS V2???

Okay - then I am even more confused - why does CM10 work fine - however so far none of the other ones I have used work?
I would continue to use CM10 - however all the Samsung Software has now disappeared... S-NOTE for example - ones I was using.
I am thinking of giving SentinelROM v6.00 a try - since it was based off the CM11 Code, however, that still doesn't give the Samsung software again. Also looking for EFS repair stuff to see if I can work anything out there.

Sure and I flashed stock and then updated via OTA and restored my rom, point is its exact same modem like on custom roms but something is not allowing for band12.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
I don't think it's the ota. I think it's the ota updater script. It deletes old files, the installs new modem files, and set permissions. In that order. I wander if deleting the files is the key?

Custom roms do not contain modem files. Would cause way too many issues with users.

I am pretty sure this is the official Modem that Motorola released with Marshmallow.
Any band that motorola allows to be available is available, The only reason it says w/band 12,
is because that wasn't available on the original modems that were released for Lollipop

The modem given in the OP is for the Pure (the XT1575), which is for the USA. That modem does not include band 20, as 20 is only used on Europe. That is why people are looking for a TWRP flashable zip of the European (XT1572) (Moto X Style) MM modem.
Can this cause issues on an AOSP based ROM, I mean I know it's meant for custom ROMs but I flashed the zip from the TruePureXMM forumn and the VoLTE fix and it's caused nothing but issues for me ever since. Is there anyway to reverse it?

If you have a full backup of a previous rom, Restoring that backup will revert the modem.
For the USA version I am running this modem without any issues at all.

OK so where I am at right now is I have flashed the stock MM image to my phone, installed twrp, then backed up everything, then wiped it and installed AICP, so would you say it would be safe to flash this modem? And it won't cause me to have complete signal loss? Also I'm not sure if it matters but here is a picture of my current baseband and whatnot.

The modem listed on your screenshot is the Marshmallow modem,
that is what should be installed on your phone at the moment,
there should be no reason to flash a modem again.
Also the screenshot shows the Lollipop version installed of AICP (10.0)
You can install the AICP 11.0, it won't change the modem
The original modem is
M8992_1255309.10.01.68R
Marshmallow Modem is
M8982_1255331.29.01.88.02R
If your phone is running with no issues in regards to phone calls, data,
On AICP 10,
Then the modem is good for your phone.
It will work just as well in MM, except for specific issues the devs are working on for some carriers.

My modem/baseband is M8992_1255331.29.01.88.02R SUPER NA ( I don't know why it says SUPER NA)
My Bootloader is A0.48.
I know with my Moto G 4G, the issue was with the Bootloader where my sim card wasn't being read.
Hi-
I tried to flash TWRP earlier today and now when I try to boot into recovery, the screen just goes black. The phone is a rooted Verizon prepaid Galaxy S4 with stock ROM.
Fortunately, the phone will otherwise boot normally. How can I reinstall a recovery system?

How are your comments helping anyone? You think it's dead, good for you. I, for one, am still currently using and developing for this device. As long as people are still using the device and the ROMs that are available then the device is not dead.

because he was asking if cyanogen was a thing ITS NOT
stop arguing with me
there are no custom kernels no custom pre-boot recovery you may or may not get root depending on your firmware version
there hasn't been a update of Note to any of the Roms in this sub in YEARS
sorry you disagree you are welcome to waste hours trying to get kexec running on the device then we will have something untill then its fuctionally dead because nothing you flash is gonna make a s4 relevant in 2017

So your advice to someone looking to make their device run better is to buy a new/different device? Just because it isn't "relevant" to you doesn't mean people aren't still using it. Kindly take your comments to a relevant forum.

I just bought a brand new S4 in Feb 2018 - on purpose, installed SmartDroid so I can enjoy a lightening fast quality device that's ad-free and has 3 - 4 day battery use - Trust me when I say, this is absolutely the most relevant aspect of the Smartphone experience.
