Hey all..
I had a weird thing happen to me today, my s3 GT-i9300 wont register the sim at all it all started when I flashed 4.3 from 4.0 today I've tried everything possible to get the sim to register. In all honesty, I've become discouraged and would be happy to just get back to stock rom... at least the network was working. lol
Originally I bought this s3 in HONG KONG, the baseband version that I flashed 4.3 is from Kazakhstan.. So I went over to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 and found that TGY (Hong Kong) has 3 firmwares: I9300ZSUBNB1- 4.3- 26.02.2014 and I9300ZSEMK3- 4.1.2- 06.11.2013 and I9300ZSEMC1- 4.1.2- 11.03.2013
Question: Which one do I use? and what would be the steps in fixing this problem?
Heres my info:
IMEIs match on BOTH in status of phone and on the back of the phone
Im currently on 4.3 Android Version
Current Baseband version: I9300xxugna8 [Kazakhstan]
Cell phone carrier: Mobilicity (Which is owned by Rogers)
Thanks for all the patience and help in advance.
Cheers.
Nevermind gents, found the solution. ANDDDDDDD the best part is.. I can stick with the 4.3... [sarcastic YAY]
Solution thanks to the folks at AndroidVeterans
Maybe the ROM you used is not Stable 100% that's why u faced that problem. So the solution is to back to your stock ROM with the official baseband that it was installed before you upgrade. in my opinion if you flashed a stock ROM with the wrong baseband can make your device unsupportable to the network (even you flashed many ROMs the problem will still exists)

Don't panic bro ,international S3 had this problem on updating manually , not for custom roms only for stock 4.3
The only solution is z3x box , it can be only done using that box :good:
You have to only repair network from it

Yep, they are still there.
I installed new one by calling the helpline. they told me to restart my phone afterwards. i did, but still cannot connect.
Is it possible that marketenabler app is causing the problem? i know that when you switch sim ids (from local to US etc) u cannot connect 3g.
but even if i try to connect with local sim id it does not connect
Man, just Google for your provider apn details for android. As far as I know 3g etc should work the same on all firmwares unless your phone is not the international version.
I have the i9100t which has a different modem. When I flash any rom I reflash just the modem and all is good again. But first make sure your apn is correct and you have selected it (should have the green dot beside it).

Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2. I live in Rep. of Ireland.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

sxi200 makes an excellent point. Make sure what your model is - GT-I9100, GT-I9100G, GT-I9100T - it WILL make a difference.

Because I've flashed an international firmware, when the phone boots up it shows i9100 and in settings / about phone it also shows i9100.
The only place it shows as an i9100T is on the sticker under the battery. So remove the battery and check just in case.
EDIT: you say you flashed an Indian firmware. Aren't Indian models the i9100G. Maybe you need to flash the international firmware if you indeed have an international model.

Well, i did go back and flash the jpkj2 2.3.5. and still no connection.
will try from an open place again later.
i have an issue with my internet connection too. i got an I9100(international version) and things were perfect till i switched to 4.0.3 and since then, my internet just refuses to connect although i have full signal strength and 3G or H displayed. but there is nothing going through.
it works again after i switch to airplane mode and back. i have no issues with wifi.
i have tried many modems and roms. i am currently using the KI4 rom and it still gives me issues.
please help.
update on situation
Hi guys,
just an update on my situation. Had the phone sent to Samsung twice for a check and bothe times it came back perfect with test sheets showing all was perfect. I decided to have another check done on the phone and it now says that the phone is blocked!! What the hell!. When i checked first weeks ago all was good and now it says it's blocked, but i'm getting 2g signal, surely i should be getting nothing if it's barred.
I have no idea who the origional service provider was of the phone, is there any way of finding out who the origional provider was or is there any way of removing this barring?
Thanks

Need Stock ROM forSGS III of Bouygues Telecom France
Few months ago I bought an SGS III GT-i9300 with CSC of CHU running stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM (bouygues telecom). The phone was originally bought in France, and later on when I came back to my home country ie Pakistan, I got it unlocked so it could work on local carriers. The long of the short of the story is, last sunday I decided to update my SGS III to the leaked polish JB ROM I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_XEO. This resulted in loss of connectivity with my GSM network. Sadly, I made the cardinal mistake of not backing up the original ROM, in case I needed to go back. So now I am kind of stuck with a phone which at best is just like a small tablet ....
Can anyone please help me locate Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the above CSC region? As so far I haven't been able to do that despite hours and hours of trying.
Also, can I install Stock ICS ROM for CSC PAK/WDC on it? If so, how can it be unlocked & made to work with it?
I hope that someone can help me in resolving this issue. Thank you.

Thanks alot JJE. Didn't knew about this checkfus tool, but it sure is one very handy util. I will let you know of the progress asap.
Regards.
Okay, I used CheckFus to locate the ROM, downloaded it, wiped/reset S3 before going ahead and installing the ROM. But unfortunately it didn't help. By the way CheckFus in Product Code field says 'Not Active'.
I was wondering whether I should get unlock code, will it help solve the issue?
In continuation of my previous post, here is an image from Galaxy S3 Sim Unlock.

That "Not Active" against the product code is probably the cause. Any help will be hugely appreciated. regards
About a month back maybe two I attempted to root by S2 using several guides on this site. I managed to **** it up and brick the phone, shortly after I managed to unbrick it and flash back what i thought was the correct stock firmware.
At first I noticed several small differences in the OS, the contacts list didn't show up in the phone app. As well as these small differences I also have been experiencing an issue where the phone would just turn off and the only fix would be to remove the battery and reboot.
I have no idea how to go about finding and putting back the correct firmware on to my S2. I looked at several sites that host the many many stock firmwares but was afraid to try incase it screwed up the phone even more. I tried connecting it to Samsungs Kies but that informed me that a factory restore was not compatible with my phone.
I don't really care about having a rooted phone anymore, I just want to get back to the stock firmware with my phone fully working again.

Unless you had to perform JTAG connection or replace motherboard your device was not "bricked". Its likely you simply flashed incorrect kernel/rom resulting it device not booting to system.
I managed to restore from here

I was hoping you'd tell us
Branded? unbranded?
Take your pick. As long as it's 4.0.3 you are all good.

So if i download:
United Kingdom (Three/3)
GT-I9100LKAH3G
PDA: I9100XXLPQ
CSC: I9100H3GLP2
Phone: I9100NELP2
For my unlocked S2 which has a EE/T-Mobile sim, I'll be fine?
I've tried the 4.0.3 T-Mobile and 3 4.0.3 and both have errors once installed.
I can't seem to find an unbranned UK 4.0.3 which is what mine was originally I think.
tried looking over here?
If you want unbranded go to sammobile.
Hi Guys.
I had my galaxy s2 replaced about 6 months ago after it got stolen.
I had 3 replacements until i got my last one which i still have.
The details:
Network: Three UK
Originally received the phone on: 2.3.6 XWKK2
At the time i tried to upgrade the firmware to ICS, but it wouldn't let me saying none was available either over air or through Keis.
So i took to the forums, and found that the firmware for this version was listed as Opus Australia.
Eventually i found some fware that worked: I9100XWLP7 Baseband Version:I9100XXLPS. Android 4.0.3
I have recently been having a few problems with my phone:
1. It crashes sometimes when i try to type a message: Unfortunately, MAPServiceSamsung has stopped,
2. When i try turn the wireless on sometimes it doesn't come on, the screen doesn't come on again and needs restarting
3. When i try turn wifi tethering on it needs a restart?
So, i was initially thinking of a version of ROM that was generic UK 4.0.3 , so that i can naturally upgrade to 4.1.2 when it finally gets to the UK.
Then i found 4.0.4 which i discounted because of a thread that said it could brick the phone if i used the wrong kernell (i am no techy).
So does anyone know of a good rom i can use that is generic UK either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 that i can fix my phone with?
Also how do i find out what CSC my phone is on? so i can replace that too?
Thanks

Hi thanks for your response. I have looked on there, but cant seem to find the correct 4.0.3 version.
There's a thread in original android development with many stock ROMs.
The OP is from the supernexus dev.
You can find it easily by looking at his threads.
