i wanted to unlock my new i9305 , i used polarbox thinking t wuld have unlock solution by now. I selected i9300 realised theres was no unlock for i9305, thought whilst im here ill back up efs , efs backed up successfully.
loaded z3x couldnt get z3x to recognise phone to start with , clicked unlock on the off chance and low and behold it unlocked it .
rebooted stuck at samsung logo ?
ive reinstalled latest stock , same prob , rooted using odin , rooted using recovery but still stuck at samsung logo .
i cant rewrite efs file in polar as i need to enable usb debugging , unless there is a way to do this .
I have read that i can remake the efs folder with imei folder etc but polarbox makes .efs file and i dont know how to extract.
Any help or guidance really appreciated

HI.
I'm from Pakistan. i buy my Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300 over an year ago with factory unlock. Using Samsung Galaxy S III from over a year now. I flashed a custom ROM of android 4.2.2 after 3 to 4 days of using it it became too much buggy. sometime all app started to crash. I FLASHED it to stock ROM 4.1.2 immediately then my S3 wasn't able to make any new calls it said "not registered on network" i tried doing a factory reset but that didn't fixed the problem then i searched on the internet and got to know that my IMEI got corrupted it's something like 0049********.
My binary counter was 9.
Please help Me :
how can i fix my imei number
how can i troubleshoot not register on network error.
is there any option to change or fix my original IMEI number back ???

dear I have Galaxy note 3 Sm-n900 i had the same problem this is how i fixed the problem
1. Power of your device
2- when completely of hold volume up+ home button+ power button together for few secs
3- when Samsung logo shows up release all 3 keys and it will come into recovery mode
4- first erase all user data( use volume down to navigate and power button to select)
5- erase cache/wipe cache(same procedure)
6- now reboot
when your phone will boot up it will be fixed
but remember to keep SIM Card in phone while doing this
I hope it can help you
if the problem is still there you can flash the ROM once again some times it also helps
any other help i am always there to help

Brother if you are mobile phone repair professional repair imei with any supported box. If you are not a mobile phone repair professional go to a mobile phone repairing shop your problem will solve.

Hi there, how exactly do I flash the MG4 modem.bin via Odin
I would be doing this for the ATT version of the Galaxy S3 but I am encountering the same issues that the OP here is describing
I have Odin and know how to use it, just not sure where I find the MG4 modem bin file
Best Solution that works

I agree with you on this and I've done it myself and it works 110%. So if any of u guys out there are facing the same problem, don't waste your money on sending your phone to the service center, they'll just eat up your money and your time.....instead just follow the steps and I can bet u it'll solve your problems. I have rooted my Samsung S3 from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 to 4.3 and then downgraded it back to 4.1.2 which only then I encountered the problem of "Not Registered on Network". But then, after going through various forums and lastly your article, I decided to try it out myself and it works beautifully without any hiccups.
Prior to doing anything on your phone, u have to download Odin3 v.3.09 and after that, make sure u download the following firmware:-
a) AP_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
b) BL_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
c) MODEM_I9300BUUGMJ3_REV02_REV04_CL1413323.tar.md5 file
d) CSC_VFG_I9300VFGGMJ5_1986192_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Just for pointers, please follow closely these steps:- (No shortcut please)
1. Load the file sinto Odin now:
Click on the AP button on Odin and select the AP_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Click on the BL button on Odin and select the BL_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Click on the CP button on Odin and select the MODEM_I9300BUUGMJ3_REV02_REV04_CL1413323.tar.md5 file
Click on the CSC button on Odin and select the CSC_VFG_I9300VFGGMJ5_1986192_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
2. Click the Start button to begin flashing the Android 4.3 firmware on your International Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, and wait until you see a PASS! message in Odin’s top left box.
3. When you get PASS! message, your phone will restart automatically. You can then disconnect your phone from PC.
If you see FAIL message instead of the PASS in Odin’s top left box, that a problem. Try this now: disconnect your S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and thenrepeat from Step 3 of this guide again.Also, If device is Stuck at setup connection or on any other process, then too, try this: disconnect your S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and then repeat from Step 3 of this guide again.
Good Luck & may the force be with u............

Hello,
i woke up a few days to see my phone turned out(i left it with autoclicker on a game), when i try to get it back on it gets stuck on samsung logo, i have no efs backup, until so far i have managed to do everything but network stuff, plus the imei changed to 0049..... i would try to flash 4.0.4 ice cream bur i can't find it anywere (OPT version), till so far i have:
Flashed 4.1.2 ofw and 4.3.ofw rom(odin)
Flashing some tar md5 (odin)
Kies(device wont iniciate)
Iriza patch
SGS3 NV GEN and QPST (after dialing the number given i only get 2 options, not that third needed)
Efs folder is empty.
WIth iriza patch i made a backup, of the phone 'NOW', can´t i edit that with my imei and s/n and put it back?
Please help i tried everything, been saving for this phone a year and half, wouldn't like to loose it. :crying:
Take it to a repair centre, there is nothing you can do without an efs backup.
And what sould i do before? Triangle away, oficial room instal, factory reset.....?
I m having a problem with my s3.while i was on custom rom,it battery went down to zero and never turned on.Then i boot it into recovery and there showed cant mount efs so i googled it over the net and found the solution to past bootloops.After successfull boot the imei was changed.Now,whatever i do with the phone ,its imei is not changing.please help me on this....
Device-samsung s3 international
Custom rom-cdroid
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
have you tried to flash Stock?
Yeah....flashed already many stock rom as well as custom but still no luck....even tried previous backup and still same problem
Hope someone can help me here . First when I bought my phone I'm sure it is a gt 9300 I succeeded at rooting it but never flashing a costum recovery (I tried Odin ,flashify ..everything ) the phone just didn't boot into recovery even the stock one so I thought the bootloader maybe is locked so I used an app to unlock it (don't remember which ) but it just hard bricked it .so I take it to a repair shop they try everything but the phone don't boot so they change the motherboard which lead to my problem now .I rooted the phone again but I still can't boot into recovery even stock one and the thing is I noticed that in the download mode screen it's written that this phone is a sgh 1747 but when I start the phone it shows gt 9300 even in the about phone section
So which one is it ?
So no one has an idea bout this .
Well I succeeded at flashing a custom recovery .I used a sgh 1747 one .I guess I should flash a custom 1757 rom too.
The model number in download is the model number for the motherboard and associated components. If the model is sgh-i747, the motherboard is from an at&t s3.
I9300 has 1gb of ram. The rest have 1.5gb of ram.
