Hello guys! I've been having a problem since yesterday, I've honestly searched all around for a solution but can't find any... Hopefully you can help.
So, recently I flashed my samsung s3 so it would run 4.4 Kitkat. (It was the liquidSmooth ROM). Anyway, after flashing, my phone can no longer call. It keeps showing an "Emergency calls only" message. However, Mobile data works, and the IMEI number is fine. I've tried using the ARIZA patch but it didnt work. I don't know what to do anymore. Please help.
Flash to stock with Odin/heimdall, root, and try again with other custom rom.

download the file in the thread, update via recovery.
cheers.
My friend asked me to look at this phone that was softbricked and kept going to CWM recovery everytime it was booted. I updated the CWM to the latest touch version via ODIN then formatted the phone clean. :good: Then I flashed 4.3.1 stable AOKP ROM and the GApps. It was fine, everything else was working. I connected the wi-fi, used bluetooth, signed into google account everything was normal and stable.:highfive: But then I tried calling and it said "no mobile network". Tried sending a text, could not. I went in and searched for network signals then registered to the correct(I AM SURE!) one.:silly: Still no luck. Then I let it choose automatically. Nothing. Then I thought maybe installing another ROM will somehow fix it and flashed CyanogenMod 10.2 stable. Still no luck. I searched around for a flashable radio but could not decide if that would fix it because as far as I am aware if the radio wasn't working no wireless connectivity should've been either.
The phone is Samsung Galaxy S III GTI9300 white 16GB (unlocked) and has been here in Nepal with Nepal Telecom Sim since it was bought. I have no Idea how the soft brick happened but I think this guy tried to manually update the phone with a stock firmware during which some **** must've happened.
Can you guys please let me know if this could be fixed?
Any help would be highly appreciated.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
There are hundreds of identical threads, search and read about efs and imei issues.

Hello everyone,
I'd be grateful if anyone can help me out with a problem I'm currently experiencing with my Galaxy S3.
The phone basically won't boot. It powers on fine, goes through the custom logo (for my network provider, Three) and then goes into the Samsung logo. There it stays, unable to boot.
What I think has caused this is that Three notified me of an over-the-air update to Android 4.3 from Android 4.1.2. I downloaded the update, and ran it, but I don't think it completed successfully and so the phone's firmware is probably now corrupt.
I sadly didn't take a backup and would really like to get the phone working again without losing text messages, apps, app data and so on.
I've looked at various options. I have the correct stock ROM/firmware for the phone (H3G version of 4.1.2). I could use Odin, or I could probably install Clockwork Recovery and use that. But I don't know exactly what I'm doing and in particular, how to keep my app data.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hello.
I have a problem which annoys me a lot for a half a year now. Here's the story:
I bought my S3 from secondhand in 2012. It was Android 4.1.2. I was complete newbie that day. When update came off, I wanted to update it via my phone, bu then i threw errors. then i tried it via Kies but also did not managed to. I googled the problem and saw that I am rooted. I listened to people, who said that I should use Odin to upgrade my firmware, So did I. Downloaded latest firmware from sammobile.com. i did everything following the tutorial, but I got the network problem - no connection to the service - no sms, calls, 3g and so on. Only wifi. Then I spend three days trying to google out the problem. Tried almost everything, but as I didint had any backups made for my EFS, and my IMEI was "unknown" as phone said, I assumed that there is nothing i can do there. So I gave phone to the repair service. They fixed it in a day. I got it with the old 4.1.2 firmware version and enjoyed my phone like a year for now. And immediately backed up EFS.
So today I thought that im very bored with this old 4.1.2 and encouraged myself to try upgrade it again. So as I have efs backup, (I also did modem backup) I tried downloading latest 4.3 fimware from sammobile again. (as Im from Lithuania, there is no firmwared for LT, so I downloaded Croatian, because the carrier was the same (Tele2). And here I go again. No network, only wifi. I tried to restore efs, modem - no change with network (Did not managed to recover modem corectly, Odin fails when i want to recover it). then I tried several modems from Perkas file Stash, which i managed install via Odin, but still no change. I truly tried almost every app ant searched every thread in this forum for solution.
Now I tried to flash in to 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4 firmware. And now im stuck with Samsung logo, mobile does not even turn on.
Any solutions? I will apprecaite any information. Thanks
There is no single solution, once the efs is damaged only a reputable repair centre can recode it properly. If it comes back with 4.1 then it isn't hasn't been fixed properly.

Hi all,
I own an i9100T device. I know that basically the roms are compatible between i9100 and i9100T, but I'm just pointing that out as my question is related to calling.
Sorry for posting this CM11 related issue here, but apparently I can't post to the discussion in the dev forum yet.
I tried to flash CM11 latest nightly this Friday, the installation was okay and so the booting afterwards and the installation of the apps, but for some weird problem, I simply can't make any phone calls.
After dialing, I simply see the call window pop up and simply stay there without any call initialization (I've checked that with a friend) or any calling sound.
I must say that data is working (I can send and receive whatsapp messages for example), wifi is working and I receive signal from the network (I also tried to flash another modem, no good).
I don't know anything about regular SMS messages, haven't tried that.
I've tried to flash CM10.2 back then and had the same problem, and reverted back to stock.Thought it's just a glitch which will be fixed in the future, but it seems to appear in CM11 as well.
Thanks in advance,
A.
