Hello!
My phone doesn't has a Serial Number which is lost but i have IMEI so to prepair that i flashed the original frimware from Samsung from Kies by doing "Frimware upgrade and instalization" so Kies demanded the serial number and i put it that's how i resolved this issue and now i have the serial number and IMEI but the problem is that when making calls the phone says "Not Registered On Network" this problem occured to me when i wasn't having the SN but now how it could happen and i have the SN ? i tried to go to settings and selecting the network that should i connect to but nothing changed. I think that Cert File or the EFS partition touched? Please help me i'm really in a big problem :crying:
really?
there's no one can help us with this damn "Not Registered On Network" "No SIM" and this changed serial numbers?!
there are many sgs3 with these problem,
somebody help plz
we tried every modems, roms, stock roms, with odin and different recoveries,
best question is, how we can correct this changed serial number?
and yes, there is no samsung service in my area
Most likely the device is blacklisted. You don't just "lose" a serial number like a coin falls through a hole in a pocket..

The IMEI is the serial number.
Also, network registration errors can be one or more of being the SIM card, blacklisted IMEI and/or SIM card slot being bad itself.
Good luck!

If you have your imei then only z3x box can do it , after rooting you have repair network from samsung tool 18.9 and thats it your problem will go out from your phone :good:

This thread is outdated and not related to the new problem with EFS coruption. Solutions proposed here wont help you if you lost your network after downgrading a ROM from MF6 to earlier.
Ok it's not the first thread about this but no one seems to have an answer. I'm trying again.
I flashed a custom ROM on a friend's phone i9300. After the flash the phone keep saying "Not registered on network". I tried everything I know.
I changed modem
I changed ROM (3X) (with full wipe)
I returned to stock
I installed GetRil (changed the baseband)
I installed Galaxsim (phone already unlock)
when I try to set the APN I get a message "registered on network" but when I do a phone call I got "Not registered on network"
Is there anyone who knows any way to solve this problem?
New sim? What all works?

everything works fine on the phone except the call/ 3g. She came with her own Sim card but she left me the phone and I'm using my own Sim card and same result.
Now I see that the IMEI SV is 01, My phone Number is UNKNOWN( is it normal?)

Get a new sim from your carrier. Either your sim tray is broken or your sim card is. Sim card is cheap/free to replace so try that first.

sounds like (both of you) your EFS folder is corrupt - the only way i've read of repairing it is to have a back up. service center for repair is the only option AFAIK.
The IMEISV means nothing, don't even worry about it. Know what you're talking about before you blurt out crap.

Usual suspects .
Sim you tried another .
Sim carrier unusual to be damaged .
IMEI wrong .
No phone number details standard with many roms .
Network details not entered or incorrect or wrong CSC .
Wrong modem unlikely .
Best to restore phone to original firmware .

First I restored the phone with the nandroid backup I made just before flashing. (still not register on network)
Then I restored the phone to stock Samsung with Odin (still not register on network)
The IMEI is still there(most thread I read with this problem people lost their IMEI)
The phone can connect to the network because it can retreive the time from the network.
If I make a network operator search it finds China Unicom(This is my sim card) and when I choose it it says "register on the network" but as soon as I try to call, I get the "not register on network" again.
I thought the IMEI might be block as it might be a stolen phone but I made a search on two IMEI database and it says CLEAR.
I flashed 3 Asian modems( I used to have a S3 I know the XXELJ2 was working with my sim card) and same result.
Have you tried flashing a different modem to your device and reporting the problem to your provider.
May sound obvious but the provider's logs may clearly show what is wrong and they can report it back to you.

anyway, tried this metod too now, and still the same ~
Hey guys, had a very similar problem to kremata (everything in EFS folder seemingly ok (IMEI and S/N were fine)), and for me it got fixed by applying Azira's Patch ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601 ).
However this solution only works by rooting and if you try to return it to stock it will reverse to being a 500$ PDA sadly.
In any case, the phone is now fully functional (calling/SMS/mobile data).
hey

ok
This is the story. S3 bought in europe. stopped working immediatelly(i think. or maybe after some weeks) after. didnt get fixed service had some warranty issue.
When i say didnt work, i meant the telephone-side of the device it didnt recognise the sim. everything else works fine(even wifi)
I live in greece so i had the phone sent to me here in hopes to get it fixed. but before that i asked for it to be unlocked and my cousin supposedly(he s not really that tech savvy) unlocked it by the carrier.(even gave me the number to be sure everything's ok)
I originaly thought it might be a hardware issue cause the sim wasnt recognized(remember that problem happened on the original carrier its not a matter of lock) but the guy i had went to to fix it said the entire gsm part isnt working so its either a SOFTWARE (thats why i m asking help here) problem or the main board should be replaced.(think he tried to restore it even to original firmware)
After a lot of research here and on google i m kinda lost because so many things seem wrong at the same time.
1.when i type *#7465625# it goes to personalization but below that is blank. then after 2 seconds i get " Unfortunately. the processcom.android.phone has stopped." so i cant get info on whether its locked or not
2.when i type *#06# i get IMEI null / null "ok" ... so i cant see if it has the same as its written under the battery..
3.when i try to press the notification "software update" i get registering device... " attention! Processing failed "ok" "... so i cant even update to a (maybe) working patch
4. The sim it uses is micro sim and i dont have one available at the moment. so i only check the progress by dialling 911.(isnt it valid to assume even without a sim it would still dial?"out of service area")
5.
Model Number GT-I9300
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband Version Unknown
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1042335 [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT mon MAR 11 17:32:43 KST 2013 (its like 2 hours before i picked up the phone from the guy who was seeing if he could fix it. does that mean he did something?)

STATUS
Network Unknown
Mobile network type Unknown
Service State Out of service
Roaming Not Roaming
Mobile network state Disconnected
ERI version Unknown
IMEI unknown
Device status Normal
IF this is a software problem i need your help to know where to get started... you have great guides like for the IMEI or the Baseband unknown message but i dont know where to start cause all these happen at the same time and i dont know which are related to the sim not recognised problem or something someone before me did..(forgot to mention the phone is NOT rooted or flashed to whatever. But i m going to do that when i know more about what i need)
ANY help or information on what is it that i m dealing with would be GREATLY appreciated.

But i have the Imei under the battery and i also have the unlock codes from the original carrier.. is there nothing to be done?
Get a microsim and test.
If fails, you can root and flash Samsung firmware again.
Can use s3 toolkit for above.
Come back after these.
Good luck

No. the IMEI is contained within the EFS Folder which is either missing or corrupt. Only a service centre can repair this. The IMEI number must be programmed into the device in order to connect to the network. This is why you cannot.

Hi,
I got this phone from a friend and I don't know the history of it but is unable to detect any SIM card and the Baseband and IMEI appear as Unknown.
Do you have any idea on how to fix it?. Thanks in advance.
i had the same problem on 850FQ i bought few days earlier.
I digged deeper into the Issue and found out when someone wants to unlock their phone it can be done by 2 ways ONE: with an unlock code which people can buy from many online sites TWO: Using some hardware device i dont know its name. The repair guy told me sometimes a phones IMEI is also changed during the unlocking process and if the process is buggy then it may also damage IMEI AND BASEBAND.
Unknown imei/baseband can also be caused by a damaged "modem chip" or it can be caused by corrupt "EFS AND MODEM" folder while flashing custom roms. But since there is no ROOT and No firmwares available for the "A" model i guess your corrupt baseband is either due to "buggy unlocking" or it is a hardware malfunction. People who have the same problem in F or other models can try restoring factory firmwares with odin (from sammobile) but the folks with "A" Model are out of luck. i sold my phone as a demo unit cus i wasn't able to recover its baseband and imei.
Try a factory reset without simcard inserted, see if the imei comes back. if not you may sell it as a demo unit or keep the device for camera and music needs

Hello!
i have a galaxy s3 and it's now can't make calls or even enable mobile data so i don't have a network. But i know how to solve it but i have the real imei adress and the problem is that i don't have serial number (is not in the white box under the battery beacause i changed the motherboard and i put a new one which conatins a new IMEI adress and a new SN) Note: when i changed the new motherboard everything was working ok but i lost the SN just now
So all the data in the white box under the battery don't interest me cuz it's for the old motherboard.
So to fix that issue i want a methode to find the Serial Number through the IMEI adress. How can i do that? thanks
Try kies.

Sorry to give you the bad news, but there is absolutely NO relation between the SN and the IMEI. ABSOLUTELY NONE. The SN goes up by 1 at a time, but the IMEI, for the TAC, FAC and SNR it depends on the country of manufacture, the year/month of manufacture, and is assigned to each device in particular. SNR, along with the IMEI is random-ish, but the SN is not. SO this is why you can't retrieve the SN from the IMEI.

Have u tried restoring With Samsung Smart Switch
No i have not tried
Try restore it with Samsung switch, if not you'll have to find a way to change the imie no. Back to its original otherwise your network won't register the phone to you.
I got the same problem... I guess the IMEI has been altered or the update failed... i tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 but impossible. :/

I'm also having trouble. I bought my phone out of an independent shop, on purchase they told me it's not possible to update, and basically got the phone at a bargain. But, I have been doing digging. My guess is they have bought a blacklisted phone and flashed a cert to fix it. So my question is.. what is a cert? Does it contain the imei info, and is it tied to the software version the cert file? And will it ever be possible to flash a MM rom. I have tried and it won't go past the Samsung logo, only 5.1.1 Roms work :/
