I'm getting this little black box quite everywhere I go , and I don't know how to get rid of it . Moreover , my phone does not ask for my sim card's pin and so I can not make cals . I've tried to wipe data and wipe partition cache and nothing , I tried to flash oficial galaxy i9300 rom on it with ODIN , and still the same .. WHAT CAN I DO ?

Thank you ! It doesn't show anymore that black box and it asks for the sim pin when I start the pone , but still no service ( I've tried the sim with other phones and it works )

No idea really... but if you know how to flash a stock rom via ODIN you can try that. If flashing back to stock again doesn't help then you probably need to send to Samsung for repair.
No service as per the basic guides stickied in General section .
Please check your IMEI is correct if not restore your backed up EFS folder .
No EFS backup = no fix .

I've just falshed a official firmware rom again , and still no coverage but at least it recognizes the sim .. If I have this new OFFICIAL ROM , and Flash Counters are reseted , I can go with it to warranty ?
If you have followed all the steps in the guide then you will probably get a warranty repair .

Hi !
I'm sorry, , either you flashed it on Odin with "Clear EFS " box ticked, either you flashed firmware for wrong device. (Ex: i9000 for i9300. )
Anyway if you didn't backup EFS the only issue is Reparation Center.

you might be able to restore service if you flash an MG4 or MG5 official rom through Odin. This is only if you previously used an MG4 or MG5 rom and then flashed some other rom which uses an older modem . read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377731 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289

I don't think it will work.
alexalghisi, can you go in Phone Information and check if you have baseband?
If no, warrently, no luck.
In the black box the phone or modem is Mc2. This is an older modem than MG4. When a ROM that uses an MG4 Modem is flashed , it alters the files in the efs Folder making the folder unreadable for earlier firmwares. If OP had ever flashed an MG4 or MG5 ROM . than an MC2 ROM would not be able to read the EFS. as it can only be used by the newer firmware that can read it. If the folder has not been corrupted than it should work.

Once I solved this issue by flashing a custom rom.. but before it I took backup of efs..

U can't use a efs from another S5 dude not going to work. You should have backed up the original one before you flash that qcn. Good luck. All I can say is Google it

I doubt you can find a free service to restore the original IMEI.
It's possible though.
Could try to restore with samsung kies.
http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79 try this??
I dont know the partition layout of the S5 well enough but im sure someone here does, if you zero out the modem partition it should rebuild it automatically on boot, samsung baked in the ability to do so starting with the note 3 I had mine go null in january and had a flashable zip that took care of the process a simple reboot later and everything was good to go.

hey there everybody
i have a serious issue and i think i could use your help
well previously i was on stock rom 4.2.2 on my I9300, then i flashing 4.3 manually using odin and downloaded the rom from sammobile anyhow since i flashed that firmware i can no longer access anything on my sim card, meaning i cant call or receive any call from anyone, it keeps saying no registered on network, then i thought it could be the rom or something, i tried pa rom and cm official latest builds but in vain, the same issue, i tried changing the sim card but the same, issue not resolved....how can i solve this prob, i wish it is just a software issue not a hardware
i also tried following this link, i thought it would help somehow, but in vain as well, now i have no idea what to do to solve this issue, tried reflashing another stock rom which is probably more appropriate than the old one, but also it didnt work, so now i have no idea what to do, i just need urgent help please, thanks a lot in advance

pardon me for im new to this patch and modem, so i have no idea according to what i have to choose
btw dude, i just noticed that there is another stock 4.3 rom for my country, would flashing that stock firmware be of any good and solve the issue?

Hi sorry I have been away from computer i'm glad to see you got it working You will always need to use a patched modem and kernel the only way to return to normal would have been to backup your efs before it got changed. As for backing up your efs you can back it up with PhilZ recovery I'm not sure about twrp iv'e not used it for a while. There are are a few apps/programs that can back it up also just do a search on xda. But remember you will always need to use the patched modem/kernel if you change roms.

Because when you flashed from 4.2 to 4.3 your efs got changed from efs v1 to efs v2 and in the process it got slightly corrupt so it was unable to read your modem ( This happens some times and you where unlucky) .This is a lesson for all people to make sure they backup the efs before flashing roms ( Especially the very first rom that they flash) it is the very first thing you should ever do.

The one that says kernel is kernel patch and the one that says modem is the modem patch lol Try the mk6 modem and the mk6 kernel patch flash them in custom recovery with 4.3 rom. If you get bootloop reboot into recovery and factory reset. Please note this is not guaranteed to fix all imei issues but does help in some cases.

Is there a possibility that there's a way that I could just wipe my entire phone clean of all partition and data and start a fresh firmware update?, if so how can I do that, as I have a corrupted file then I think if it can be done it might just work a fresh firmware flash on a clean system??

Hello All, I'm pretty new to all this and am feeling out of my depth, however getting desperate and don't know where to turn next.
I am in Australia and purchased a brand new GT-I9300 from eBay around 3 weeks ago which was shipped from Shanghai, China.
It turned up running 4.1.2 and worked just fine. I tried using the software update feature on the phone to see if 4.3 was available, however, I got the error message to say that because the phone had been modified, software upgrades were unavailable. I mentioned this on a local forum here, and someone kind offered to help me upgrade to 4.3 using Odin.
Turns out the phone was shipped to me rooted and had SuperSU installed. Had to install and run Triangle Away to reset binary counter first. Then installed Odin and followed the links to the firmware and this is where it started going wrong. Fist attempt resulted in a boot loop and could not enter recovery mode to factory reset, however could access download mode, so flashed with 4.3 recovery firmware which got the phone to boot up. Then flashed 4.3 stock firmware again, which was successful this time. However, when trying to make calls or send text messages, the error message on the screen is "Not registered on network". Have tried going back to 4.1.2 and upgrading using Kies, but same result. Then tried the patch from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745274 and still no luck.
I then sent the phone half way across Australia to Official Samsung Specialist Repair Centre, however, they called me yesterday, to say that because it was an international model, they can't/won't help as they don't have access to international firmware.
If anyone here can help me to get this phone working again, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Many thanks tallman43, I managed to get someone to give me a hand with giving your idea a try. Just wanted to let you know that it worked, and my GT-I9300 is now back up and connecting to the network and running with 4.3. Thanks again, and much appreciated.
So it all started as
It was a good day
I had rr5.9.9 running on my s3, was playing clash of clans ..found some good loot. I was just about to attack him and by phone baterry was low (I dont have the original battery..I have chinese/cheap battery in which when the battery is low the screen has lines and flashes and also the screen freezes but if plugged on time it unstucks and goes well but if not the screen stops flashing but is froze so i have to take out the battery and turn on again). So my screen started flashing and also froze I quicly rushed to get plug in but it couldnt get out of frozeness. So I took out the battery and power it on. Guess what? It stucked on bootloop. So I was like maybe its something wron with the rom . So I clean flashed it again but it was still on bootloop. I tried every sinhle rom but all had the same result "bootloop" and then I was like theres only one way out STOCK ROM so I flashed the stock rom still bootloop so I went to recovery and saw this e:/ unable to mount efs .. so I google d it and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-fix-efailed-to-mount-efs-invalid-t2858056 .
So I followed it and my phone booted yaya but in factory mode. (I forgot to turn off the factory mode) And then installed blekota rom .... it had the following probs :
No network
No lockscreen..screen would just open
Pressing the power button for just 2sec would turn off the phone instead of showing the power menu.
I beared with it and then the next day I figured out that I havent turned off the factory mode
So I fllashed stock rom ...it booted in factory mode (it had the box showin various things)(I didnt use adb to boot in factory mode).So the next thing I did was turn off factory mode and then the lockscreen and power issue were fixed and my network got detected but when I call or check my balance it shows not registed on network. So after many hours of research on google and xda I came to conclusion that my efs is messed uo and I dont have a backup and no warranty....and am pretty much screwed up. SO GUYS I WANTED TO ASK IF THERES ANY WAY OUT AND IS EFS SPECIFIC TO ONE PHONE AND CAN I USE ANY OF OTHER S3 EFS ??
Sorry for the long post xD
Guys .....please i cant use my network!!
Flash a 4.2 stock rom to get you imei back, update the stock rom to the latest version and re root/flash as required.
If that doesnt work there is a way to flash one part from emg4 rom then the mk6 modem.. The thread is around somewhere in "troubleshooting" or "general", cant remember exactly.

For all. I tested it in all versions ICS, JB,KK,LP
But it isn't working lollipop cm12.1
i had the same problem as you described, cell phone wouldnt register on network when i flashed stock 4.1.2 rom, so i found a solution online and i did exactly what thoothukudi told you, flashed 2 zip files and voila, it worked like a charm. since then ive tried like 100 different roms and never had the same problem.
p.s. you should backup your efs files
Help needed please. I lost my efs folder and can't get data connect!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 int. T-mobile Austria as Provider.
Is there any chance to get my efs back somehow?
Thanks in advance for responding
solution
Use the patches provided in the link. It solved my lollipop problem on no network service. For lollipop, I just took the risk and flashed the modem only.

I was only talking about regaining network connectivity. For IMEI, the only option I think is to flash your phone with stock ROM using Odin. You can get stock ROM from this url
sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9300/
Free Registration is required to download.
Once you flash it, you have to install CWM or TWRT recovery using Odin to flash the modem patch that is the first link on the page, which you can find here.

You are welcome. I have faced similar problem in Sammobile. The only solution is to use Internet Download manager (IDM), copy the download link from the browser then when IDM asks for a login detail, fill it out and download. Obviously, the download get interrupted but after giving it a couple of minutes, sammobile reconnects and you can resume your download on IDM.

No problem. What is your phone region?
Gus, I really need help.
I was trying 6.0.1. update from 6.0. I made a backup of 6.0 before trying 6.0.1. BUT after flashing 6.0.1 there was no signal and also no network avalible com.phone keep FC. So I've flashed stock firmware for my device. And after that I'm keep getting to bootloop but if I flash custom kernel phone reboot but witnout signal and also there is unknown baseband and no IMEI. I have my S/N and IMEI on piece od paper. I've tried many things on XDA but nothing worked, I also tried to flash ROM with xposed to change IMEI but still no signal........ Im desperate.... Can someone help me please?

Ull need to flash stock with odin or smart switch thats the only way to recover imei or try restoring just the efs partition from the backup u made.

Same here (Think we done the same thing with the Marshmallow 6.0.1 leak) I backed up, but the new version of TWRP I have has EFS as a separate option, I never even noticed and never backed it up.
However I Flash with smartswitch, and after reflashing the bootloader with odin and a Root Kernel, I can boot into the device and using root explorer, I CAN see my EFS folder. I deleted the .nv_data.bin files and changed the .nv_data.bak to .nv_data.bin (was an older date) and I now have the network options back but a generic IMEI and can't register on a network.
I feel SO close to getting it up and running, but if smartswitch can't help, not fully anyway, I'm not 100% I can be rescued either.

I've called to my local service center and they said that they will reflash firmware fo 450 CZK (about 17 euros) and It will be done in 1 hour 30 minutes. So I will se what they can do with it. I've tried everything... and right now I don't know what else I can do. But If you figurate out how to fix it let me know Thanks!
Ive also heard that if you flashing each partion one at a time with odin that has fixed it for some

I got 3 old smartswitch backup and i find a file with the imei and everything , do you think its possible to backup this files ?
You CAN recover your phone with smartswitch, there is an emergency recovery function with a IMEI and SN input option, some users who used the same threat (android 6.0.1) and has lost their efs partition reported that smartswitch worked.
I've done this procedure too for some weeks to recover my phone an everything is working fine.
possibly with root explorer
