Ok this is whats happened so far.....
My daughters i9300 Phone's battery charge port was not working but instead of taking to it a shop to get fixed she purchased a faulty one off ebay to swap over the board.
But opening the ebay one it shows i9305 so I carried on swapping it over
After starting the device it shows i9305N on boot screen
Flashed a few Roms but each one shows *#06# : null/null
Sim not inserted so cant get into APN Settings

Click to collapse
Have tried the one which was in her own phone but same thing happens
Everything else works fine apart fom this signal issue and imei
At first when I started the one from ebay up it was in Korean and I put her Sim card in it and it showed signal
So after wiping it and trying Roms I am not sure what modem or other files where in this phone
Is it just a modem issue or something else?
One which installed just now is I9305NXXUFNI4_NEEFNI4_4.4.4_KK Which I know is Nordic and I am in the UK
Have also tried UK Roms and same issue!
So does anyone have PIT,CSC files for Odin that I can try flashing and with Stable and preferably bloatware removed ROM
Thanks
Anyone?? tried new Sim Card slot and still shows this.....

Firmware: 2.3.4
Stock UK and not linked to a carrier firmware
My battery died last night and I then charged it over night. Since this morning I have not been able to get the phone to recognise its sim-card. I have checked the sim card with my back up phone (orange san francisco) and the sim is fine. I have also used a different sim card in the galaxy s2 to check that it was magically incompatible over night and the second sim card which using a reference phone - does not work.
I have wiped the cache, formatted the internal USB and performed a factory reset. I have "cleaned" the contacts on the sim card slot and removed any possible variables like the micro sd card.
I have arranged for the phone to be collected by the carrier as it is well within any warranty period but I honestly would not rather let it go if anyone has any suggestions?
IMEI correct ???

Hi JJEgan
I never thought about checking that. I have just booted the phone up and in the settings menu it is reading:
IMEI
unknown
IMEI SV
unknown
Thanks for the shout as i never thought to check this. Interestly annoying to why/how this has happened. I never have even flashed or modded this phone - unlike the san fransisco which i flashed and overclocked I have never felt the need to do so with this phone.
Any tips on restoring the IMEI for the phone?
Thanks for the heads up

Did you make a backup of your EFS folder?
If you have to ask himp, it's that he probably didn't...
have a look at that thread, might help you in sorting it out yourself :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
(although I'd let it get hauled over under warranty, service providers rarely dig so deep to fix something so they'd probably give you a new device for free, "no questions asked" -happened to yours truly when his first sgs2 "fried itself" while plugged into an AC outlet... )
My brother has S3 which was working fine before this.
Today in morning he took out sim from it, the phone was off, and put sim in another phone. The phone was in the drawer the whole time and powered off.
So in evening he inserted sim, turned it on and it shows no sim detected. Did a bit reboots but no good.
I also have S3, so i took my sim and inserted it and it did not detect it.
His sim is working well in my cell phone but his cell phone is not detecting any sim, neither mine nor his.
I have checked for EFS and IMEI problem but both are intact, IMEI is not corrupt.
The phone is not even rooted, and it has 4.1.2 rom and it is the build before the MG4, and he has not even flashed since opening it from box.
Now i have no idea what should be done.
Can someone guide me in this matter?
I would recommend getting it repaired.
Reads as probable sim holder repair / replace

But before that it was working and there was nothing that could have happened to it. I am thinking to flash the latest build but just wanna know before doing something stupid.
I will surely backup EFS, so that i dont lose IMEI.
Hi guys
I have a big issue with my S3 GT I9300. This morning, everything was running well and suddenly i got the error message "No SIM card, insert a SIM card". I didn't try to flash any ROM, or put any root or something. I was on my desk, the phone was on the table and when i checked it a few minutes later : no network and SIM card error message...
Until now i was on I9300XXUFME3 ROM. I tried to clean the sim card, the sim card slot, push the sim card while the phone was turning on (maybe it wasn't touching correctly the pin), but still getting the same issue. My IMEI is OK, still the original one (no 00 or 0049, etc).
That's why i decided ot flash a orginal ROM and flashed my phone to I9300XXUGMJ9. Flash is OK but still getting the network issue (no sim card inserted)..
I couldn't try my phone with an other SIM as I was alone at the office but i guess the issue comes from the phone as my SIM card is not old at all (i have it for 6 months only) and I don't remove it often from the phone.. Until this morning, my phone (bought it from someone 6 months ago= was working perfectly and I didn't flash it since May 2013, so I don't really understand..
I also tried Ariza's patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601) but when I press "Apply fix", it starts downloading and stays at 0%.. Nothing seems to be downloading.
Any help would be very greatful guys, thank you.. :crying:
Don't go flash crazy, you'll do more damage with that patch.
Sounds like your sim card reader is faulty, not an expensive item to have repaired.

Hello,
I just went to an Orange store here in Paris and the issue was simply a deffective SIM card.. They replaced it by a new one and got the issue fixed
Thanks a lot guys for your kind help!
Hi guys, i have similar problem, i tried different sim cards, none worked, tried changing the whole card reader with a brand new one, but it didn't fix the problem.
everything started approximately a month ago, or even more, i tried rooting the phone after applying the update but i missed up and almost killed the hone, after allot of effort i managed to bring it back to life and re-installed the firmware update, but the phone started giving me the "Not registered on network" error, and the IMEI changed to that 0049 thing, then it started telling me to insertsim card.
the thing is, before all this happens I had no idea how to important it is to backup, so I have no EFS backup
so, any ideas what could be the cause? and how to fix it?
Hi!
So I have this problem with my Samsung Galaxy SII that it doesn't recognize the SIM card for the most of the time. When this problem started, the phone was completely stock (Not rooted/Not a single flashing made by me). Android version was the latest official 4.1.2.
Problem description:
I could be using the phone completely normally and then suddenly it reports that there is no SIM card. Now with pulling out and putting back the SIM card and rebooting couple of times, it might recognize the SIM card again and work for a while (few hours).
What I've tried to fix this:
1. Tried the SIM card on another phone, it worked perfectly.
2. Tried another SIM card on my S2, didn't work any better.
3. I thought that as the warranty is over, I might aswell just root my S2 and install the CyanogenMod 12.1 and check if this fixes the problem (Well it didn't).
4. I saw that my IMEI number shows nothing so I did this: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..
Well step 4 didn't bring back the IMEI number but now after rebooting a couple of times when I got my SIM card to be recognized again and then checked the IMEI, it was correct. Though the SIM card wasn't detected after a while again.5. Well now I flashed back the original Android 4.1.2 and checked the IMEI number (SIM not detected), it showed "null/null".
6. I went back to CyanogenMod 12.1 and saw that when it's showing blank IMEI, it's also showing "Baseband version: Unknown.
7. Flashed a new Modem+RIL, not helping either.
8. Tried many other things which I can't remember now but found by googling.
So it's sometimes working and also shows the correct IMEI and baseband and sometimes they are all gone?
My question here is that is there anything I can still try to get it working. And also if anyone knows where the problem could be? Is it some part that is faulty or is it the software that is messing with me? I'm quite handy at taking apart and changing the parts inside if that is the case. It's just that I'm not going to pay over 100€ for a new motherboard to get it fixed.
Thanks for any replies!

Hi,
Its been very recently that I bought SGS3 i9300 *exynos not qualcomm, in used phone and I'm pretty much in the dark what material does SAMSUNG puts into his phones to make them full of *beep*.
I was running XXELKC 4.1.2 firmware and I decied to just root > recovery > CM12.1 or CM13 SGS3.
Well everything went well but I ended up with no sim card error. Then I thought that might be my sim card is corrupted so I put in a newly replaced microsim card and put in the phone still no good.
Then I did wipe system+cache+dalvik+data and installed CM13 from TWRP. Still ended up in no simcard error.
Then I got to know about XXEMG emergency zip radio which is cross-efs compatible so I flashed that one. I ended up in NO IMEI/Baseband
I flashed XXELKC PDA file back and phone booted with its own IMEI number preserved.
Now I have working DATA connection but phone doesn't register on network for calls/sms.
What is the possible issue here?
I cannot find working modems link as the REF thread has dead link to modems.
I do not know how to fix this phone, and I've made myself a promise that this is my first and last samsung phone ever. Please help through this one for the last time, even it means working phone on a JB 4.1 firmware but I want the simcard/network/calls working to resell it and get rid of it.
Thank you for actually roaming around in Q&A section and taking a look.
Nobody?
