S3 I9300 - No network desperately need to Odin - help please - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have S3 which currently has temasek's MM rom. Everything works fine but after moving to Temasek's rom from RR rom - my phone doesn't pick sim card or network.
I have tried installing a few modems and have also applied most of the work arounds I could find.
I am inclined to flash stock rom and work back from there.
I have been desperately looking all around for files to install stock rom but not having great success. Most of the links are dead. Can some one please please help me and upload/point me to
- windows 10 drivers
- stock firmware (for UK unlocked phone).
Any help will be really greatly appreciated as I have a phone with no network for over couple of weeks now.
Let me know in case of any queries
Thanks,

Did you check Sammobile.com?

I have the same problems (No network + the phone does not detect an SD card)
can u help me?

Does the phone detect a SIM card? If it doesn't detect a sim and SD card, then reader may be defective.

Guys, just a quick update. It was a hardware issue. Ordered a replacement sim card tray which fixed the issue.

Mozart De-brand issues...

Hi all
I am trying to de-brand my Orange UK Mozart. I got the de-brand kit from fonefunshop.co.uk.
I've followed the instructions on the video they posted. But the phone rebooted multiple times during the update and eventually failed with an error message.
I've tried putting a different ROM on the SD card, but the mozart screen displays a message no image file. I have renamed the ROM to MOZAIMG.nbh.
I now have a phone that only goes to bootloader and only displays Enter USB Host Mode...
Using the normal USB cable, I've looked that the ROMUpdateUtility, but for some reason the phone isn't being detected by Windows 7, so I can not connect to the device. Any ideas anyone? What should I try next?
Help!
I also purchased the cable and goldcard from Fonefunshop.co.uk. Received mine at 07.30 this morning and was updated and completed by 07-45. Mine also rebooted numerous times but flashed successfully. I then did the pre NO-DO update via zune and then put the NO-DO update on the sd card supplied and flashed that with no probs. if you think that the supplied nbh is corrupt let me know and ill help if i can. If you remove the battery and re insert it can you then start the phone by holding the volume down and camera button again ?
Regards
Craig

Hi Brain,
I gave up with the fonefunshop.co.uk supplied SD card. I resolved my issue by creating my own goldcard and using a ROM that I downloaded from here.
Here are the steps I took (unfortunately it requires the use of an Andriod phone).

Does this JTAG file has a main thread here in XDA with more detailed information and all the necessary files?
Because this guide tell you to get some files into an external micro SD card, which are not available here. Also, it says connect "Anyway JIG", what is this jig? it says that this jig is powered by a power supply.. so where can I get this "Anyway JIG"?
I mean, how come there is still no jtag for the I9300?
Thanks

All the JTAG does is force the phone into download mode. If you can already get into download mode, JTAG wont hep you with anything.
If you're having a problem flashing things in download mode, and you've read the return to stock guides, search for your Odin error here. If still nothing, create your own thread for support.

It was the main circuit board that went wrong and the Samsung repair fixed it it was also due to the leaked 4.2.2 firmware causing the device to get over heated now have my phone back and its not heating up at all on 4.1.2 and my sd problem was due to the over heating I had to replace the sd 4 times at a cost of £100.00 just over then had charging problems which was due to the supplied with the phone having a break in it then found out that using one of my old lg gt540 usb wire works perfectly with the usb mains adapter with no more problems at all but I am looking forward to 4.3 and some of the new features hope this post can help a few more people as it took me 3weeks to find any info on charging this phone

[Q] Unbrick HTC Mozart

Hi everyone ! My sister bricked her phone after an update. I don't know which update it was. And now, the phone still stuck on the bootscreen.
I saw that you can reflash a ROM to repair it, but when I do it makes an Error at 1%
I don't know if I took a wrong rom .. :/
By the way I'm french, I tried a Orange FR Rom but still not successful :/
Please help

Hi Kalasboy, could you tell me which carrier are you on? If it fails to flash a rom using software method, you should probably try the Y-cable method which is going to certainly let you deploy an unlocked europe rom for the Htc Mozart.

Ok.. ill help you in all i can...
first.. you are talking about opening the phone to change the SD card,
that doesn't have anything to do with installing a brand new ROM on your device, you only need to do that process if you want to increase the storage on your device from 8GB (default on htc mozart) to 16 or 32 gb (which i think is the limit)...
There are quite a lot of video-tutorials in the internet and youtube explaining that process very detailed
on the other hand, about the Y-cable, there is also alot of posts here in xda that explain the process for people new to windows phone, so im sure you can search for them and find the information quite easily =)... but basically, what you need is a y-cable which i think there are some already premade in ebay and other webs , or you can proceed to do one for yourself (as i did ). The objective of the y-cable is to connect it to the phone, to the pc and to a memory sd card/ usb drive/ etc etc... which will write from scratch the rom inside it into the htc mozart... but as i said, there are alot of posts in here which explain it

Xperia XZ1 701so doesn't recognize SIM nor does Wifi work stuck on startup

Hello everyone.
I have just got this phone brought to me by my little brother. It seems that phone is made for Japanese network (Softbank)
according to him, he downloaded few apps and was using it for few week until recently there was a problem and the phone had some issues. So he took it to repairer and the phone was flashed back to the company default
But now the issue is that the phone doesn't recognize any SIM and also WIFI searching forever without finding any network. I am not able to pass through this initial phone setup configuration to find out what exactly is wrong with the phone
Although phone restart with inserting SIM but soon as it boots to setup it acts like no SIM is inserted and prompt to connect to either network.
I have used Xperia companion with no luck cause the file size taking very long and my internet connection is not stable and failed on many attempts
Downloaded the exact Japanese firmware from Xperifirm and flashed using newflasher but still could not pass the setup due to no connection
I am not able to even skip that network and initial setup like all other android phone because the phone has to be connected to network and there is not step to skip
What could have gone wrong with the phone. Is this a software issue because the phone bricked by that guy accidently did something to software stuff or is it hardware issue? any urgent assistance would be highly appreciated.
I haven't touched the bootloader yet and as far I know it cant be unlocked?
Please help me resolving this issue
usually it happens when flashing the wrong baseband or modem firmware from another japanese firmware e.g. au kddi/docomo firmware,clean flash via newflasher should fix the problem,make sure to download the right firmware for your model (701SO),not au kddi or docomo...
if problem still exist after flash it,try to flash the global firmware (try CE1 firmware),it will convert your device to global variant(but nfc will not work and deep sleep not working)
good luck :good:

Hi and thanks @filandry
I have downloaded the exact copy of firmware as per my model (701so) and I even downloaded the UK customised version today and flashed it. The phone boots to setup but same issue no SIM detection and no wifi activity. I can't even see SIM or WIFI icons on the status bar
I am now thinking of whether if it's possible to somehow find this setup file and delete it in the firmware folder and then flash the firmware to see if it works when it gets to phone.
It will also help me checking the IMEI and other stuff but just wondering if its possible?
I know there maybe still few options to get the phone somehow into desktop but I am kinda newbie into sony phones and i wouldn't mind doing it
Edit; Just forgot the CE1 firmware part. How different is it from UK customised version? You really sure this will make a difference? Cause downloading a big file is a very daunting task for me as I am living in a place where we barely get 512 KB (shared 1:3) download time take a whole day for me.

Thanks for replying.
Adb can't be done since it needs usb debugging turned on and for that I need to get to the phone settings.
Safe mode already tried in the past and done it again for this new firmware but same issue
I wish i could flash custom rom so that its start-up settings might be different and no need to be connected
I really need help here if I still have an option
