It looks like you have lost your EFS data and that means problems... Check if you can read your IMEI in Settins.
Look here for more information [Tutorial] Why my IMEI missing & NO network?
YES. You can also re checked your IMEI setting. I think this forum thread is also help you to how to do this IMEI setting change. You can see here thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021 thanks
Hello People
Again, I'm with problems with my S3 since the one time decided to test a custom ROM which turned out to screw my IMEI and got to it back working with BOX in repair service.
I n order to see if the BOX fix did actually solve my signal problem, it was suggested to me in a previous post that I flash the same stock rom via ODIN. Before that, I backed up current EFS as well.
Unfortunately, it seems the problem wasn't entirely solved. Same as before: both my IMEI and S/N are untouched (S/N does not coincide with S/N in the back of phone) and though it says I have a full signal, I'm not registered in network and i can't make or receive calls, sms, etc. Even though I restored the EFS folder, nothing happens.
I really wish not to go back to repair service again. What else can I do about this? Many thanks and excuse my rant. Hope I was thorough and clear on the problem. I also have a EFSv2_basebands_opt4.zip file I downloaded somewhere in xda . Would that help?
Many thanks.

Flash a patched modem and kernel from here >> https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8#list << see if that works if it doesyou will always need to use the patched files.
Thanks tallman43! I'll try that. Also, I noticed now that the EFS folder is EMPTY :/. and the backup .tar I made with CWM says it's 0 bytes? wtf?
still, in phone info, imei and s/n are there. weird?
THANK YOU

Your recommendation worked like a charm. My signal is up and running normally. MANY THANKS tallman43.
Lastly, even if I sometime I decide to try out a custom ROM (unlikely at the moment, but who knows?), I still have to flash patched kernel&modem? or in case of factory reset (I will be selling the phone soon) ?That custom really messed up my phone...

I would still like to solve the problem at its roots: to fix the "not registered in network" problem whenever factory reset or stock ROM flash via odin is done. That is simply not normal. I might be selling the phone soon and the new user won't most probably know he/she would have to apply a patched kernel or etc.. ( let alone about rooting the phone).
Basically, bring the phone back to it's original sound state before I tried out the custom ROM. What can I do about that?
Hope I'm not being annoying.. just trying to get to the bottom of things

There is nothing you can do without your original efs backup.Only a service repair can fix it.

Understood. I think I have the original EFS in my SD, though I tried replacing it once and it didn't work out... I suppose I'll have to make do. Thanks for everything man
Flashing modem with Ariza patch was bad idea. Your efs folder is screwed up now and you are addicted to constantly flash this dirty workaround.
If anyone have problems with registering in network please check your device serial number first. It must be the same as on the sticker under battery. If it's not then type *#0011# and check info under IMEI CERT. If there is FAIL info then you should use any box ie Z3X to correct phone's serial number. It takes only few minutes and is cheap. It's better long-term way than patching and permanently destroying your efs informations.
If you have backup then you should flash normal modem and restore original efs partition. Then find any GSM service center with box and tell them to fix serial number. It shouldn't cost more then 5-10 dollars.

I have never flashed the Ariza patch nor have I even mentioned it on my previous posts explaining the problem. Fixing the s/n issue is indeed adviseable, but paying to correct s/n using box here where I live is ASTRONOMICALLY expensive. They should answer for never having fixed it, but they won't. Here is a hell of a lot more than 5-10 dollars, unfortunately.
Believe me , I'm no happier in applying this sorry fix every time I want to factory reset or upgrade, etc; it's the only option I have left at the moment.
Those files you have flashed, I mean kernel and modem are patched with Ariza's method. It is called Ariza patch and it is latest solution you should take to resurrect your phone because it is a destructive one.
Sorry to hear that you can't repair it as it should be especially if you want to sell this device.

May i ask a few questions about your problem?
Which version were you using when you desided to use a custom rom?
Was your phone ever rooted before installing a custom rom (when you were on official)
Did you upgrade your phone before? (Official via ota or odin)

I was on 4.2.2 leaked version ROM some guy installed at a repair service some time ago when the phone belonged to my mother. I was actually rooted using the CF AutoRoot method, with Philz CWM recovery. I decided to change to a custom 4.3 without having changed first to a stock 4.3.
The problem came when, within the custom ROM's aroma installer, I ticked an option to upgrade the modem to some build I can't remember now and my signal became screwed up. I informed this in the developer's custom rom discussion thread about the issue to which he replied that the problem was that the EFS folder tried to convert from v1 to v2 and failed (this was when I learned of the whole efs version folder change since build XXX (don't remember).
I download a stock unbranded 4.3 ROM and flashed it via ODIN, believing that would solve the issue; it didn't. Finally, I became desperate and took it to a repair service where they used box. Apparently, late did I notice s/n was not the same as the one in the back of phone. I'm guessing that would solve the problem? I don't know.
i am sorry for your loss . i wish you had all that info you learned before a try and fail. now that your imei number is a clon number, and once a box tempers with that you cant go back even if you have your orijinal efs folder or backup. you should always have that 2 patched modem and kernel files on your sd card just incase. you can use custom 4.3 with the patched files and get a signal but you will always have some lags after some time because of the kernel. and lucky you samsung stopped updating s3 officially because patched files are only for 4.3. if you dont have a desire to use custom 4.4.4 kitkat roms then you are good to go and when it comes to sell the device, the price will be much lower then an original s3.

Well, actually, IMEI didn't get cloned; of that I'm certain. IMEI is just the same as it was before I took it for the first time to repair service. It was the S/N that got changed somehow. Should I get them to correct the S/N, and use the original EFS folder (I found it, i think), would that correct all problems?
S/N number is the same with imei number as when you dial *#06# . And as i said before you cant go back even if you have your original efs folder. Dial *#06# and check your imei number from an " imei check site " you can find on google search. That will tell you what i mean.
There are: IMEI, device serial number and Android serial number. First two numbers are on the sticker in battery Bay. They must be correct because are used to authorize IMEI certificate.
Samsung's IMEI begins from 35.....
Serial number usually from RF......
If you see serial number in HEX format in phone's info section, something like f1abcadef1.. than it is android not device serial number and this mean troubles with authorize SIM card in operator network, even if it shows proper signal power.
I don't know there is any secret code to display serial number but there is plenty of phone's info apps in playstore which displays this alphanumeric string.

Ok so recently I was successful to root my SM-J110F (Vodafone, AUS).
I had found a forum on xda for a custom ROM for SM-J110M.
(link) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/rom-cleanertlite-os-j1-ace-t3585567
I flashed the ROM using TWRP and it worked.
However sadly, the ROM isn't really that great. The IMEI shows it's "null / null"
so I cannot fix it. The forum hasn't been active so I cannot get a response from the person who made it.
I was wondering if there is any way to fix it and I know I have a custom ROM for SM-J110M but I just want to know if it can be fixed.
Also, since I installed the ROM, the phone says it is a SM-J110M. I was wondering if I could flash in a stock SM-J110M ROM from SamMobile. I tried flashing it using ODIN, but it didn't work.
I really need your help, because I want to stay in 5.1.1. otherwise I'm just going to have to go back to 4.4.4. which is really old.
Problem can be solved and to fix that problem you need manualy to write IMEI and Serial number .
To write IMEI , and S/N you can use Octoplus but Changing IMEI or S/N number which doesn't belong to you is Ilegal so do at your own.
Here is steps for you to follow.

R u on stock recovery...
Yes i'm on stock recover.
Let me tell u exactly what happened i restored a backup that was here for my phone and i checked that the backup is for my region, when i restored it asked me for the puk code i entered it but it didn't want to accept, then i checked again the version from about the phone it was correct and it informed me from the updater that there is an update i downloaded but it told me installation failed i then tried to factory reset from both the phone and the recover it did but also everything was the same, so i tried to flash TWRP denied even tried the dload method installation failed also, at the i discovered that the bootloader is locked so i had the lock key and it told me incorect then i discovered that when connecting with ADB it gives a serial number different than mine although when i check through the phone the serial number is my old one. Now i'm stuck and don't know what to do

first i restored the backup in the Repository that mentioned my phone model
GR5 KII-L21
GR5+TWRP+backup_KII-L21C185B130.rar Thanks to Under World
and it changed everything then
Hi! I have successfully revived a GS3 motherboard after it was dead because of SDS using this tool. As everything was wiped from it and replaced with zeroes I have lost original EFS (the former owner didn't root it so ... no backup of EFS). I flashed stock ROM via Odin (Baseband version is I9300BVUGNB2 and it's I9300XXUGPE1 firmware). I saw that others are having even a missing baseband version but mine is here. The IMEI is generic (0049...), when enabling Bluetooth I get a reboot, Samsung Internet and com.google.android.gapps are force closing and there's such a big delay between the time I'm pressing any button to wake the screen and the screen wake up.
1. I have no backup (obviously)
2. I have a working S3 with I9300XXLFB modem and I tried to restore its EFS to my other S3 motherboard with no luck
3. Don't tell me to flash stock ROM via Odin as it's obvious that a stock ROM won't restore a unique number which is missing from it's place. Or will it? Is it hardwritten somewhere in the memory?
4. No Samsung Service here in my city (and I'm not planning to search all over Romania for a service... I don't think it even exists )
What can I do to restore that backup? Also how can I change the IMEI back to original (I have it written on the paper) because I don't want to get the same IMEI on two devices
P. S. The other EFS is my property so I'm not breaking any rules or laws because I'm using it's base to repair another phone. Then I will change it to original. I hope I won't need to use the backup maybe it will work another way. How the services are repairing you broken EFS? ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
The first thing to do is flash a stock firmware. Have you tried the recovery mode in kies?.

I have successfully written my IMEI and SN but now I'm getting 2 issues:
1. Not registered in the network
2. When turning on Bluetooth on 4.1 it won't turn on and on 4.3 it will freeze the device. Now I'm trying to fix the first one but the second one I couldn't fix. Any ideas? Should I rewrite BT MAC address too to fix it?

Why did you marked the thread as [SOLVED] & don't you answer @audit13's question & maybe help an other user with the same problem finding this thread?
As for your Bluetooth freezing problem I would say flash stock Samsung again after Formatting Data (not wipe see https://twrp.me/faq/datamedia.html for an explanation of the difference) & try an other modem.
I am running on S3 i9300 the I9300XXUGOK1 modem (2015-Nov-25) which I attached to this post as well as I9300UBUGNK1 (2014-Nov-6) & both are more recent than the I9300BVUGNB2 (2014-02-18) that you have on that device @ the present.

Thank you for your answer. I have already answered him in PM. I was busy with some exams and I didn't have time to write here something.
To write the IMEI you can use a tool from the web (payment recommended). Something like Chimera Tool or Z3X Pro
