Hi there and welcome to the forum.
Please create a more informative title next time, so people know what it is that you need help with.
I am in the same boat as you only with my GS3 LTE version. If you still have the box to get the IMEI from or look under the battery you might be able to restore your imei using an nv writer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Try to do a full wipe then reflash the stock rom with odin.
Good luck!
No sim, imei

Should i backup efs (if so .... whats the best efs backup method?) at this point and then go for it
Or theres no problem in flashing a stock or any other rom?
Thanks

you should deffinately backup you EFS, there has been many post's recently with people buggering up their imei's - did a search :silly: and found an app called ktool which backs up your efs folder, I've never used it looks like it does the job. Also make a backup of your current rom you're using. just incase.
FYI you will lose root if you flash a sammobile FW via odin
I know about that ... I'm new on s3 not new on flashing
i'm just afraid to corrupt efs

Sorry for being thorough! I've only flashed samsung so wasn't sure if it was the same as what you're used to! In answer to your question then. Yes backup your efs, if there is a chance of it ever being corrupt its best to have a working copy. No brainer really!

No need to sorry no meant no disrespect and thanks for your answer
al i want know is the safest method to backup efs?
did u backed up your's? if so ... using what?
That app I mentioned will work just fine, I also copied my efs folder to my extSD and then compressed it to zip, then I copied it to my pc. It would then just be a case (if it ever fubars up)copying that folder back over to /system/
Apologies if I was rude, its my bedtime
Thanks a lot gonna backup it up tomorrow and flash stock by odin now its my bedtime 2 take care mate

Well, you surely should have a look at these:

I'm pretty sure anything that concerns this thread will be already answered in there.
These are also useful, and a must read (before any sort of flashing, any ROM download page will indicate so):

In the last thread, especially this:
Provide details - ALWAYS tell us exactly what happened if you are requesting help. Always describe in detail what is happening.
"Flashed my phone now it doesn't work" is useless information.
"I rooted my phone 3 months ago and flashed a custom ROM. I decided today to flash ROM X from recovery Y. I booted into recovery and flashed from my internal SD card. I rebooted the phone and it is not starting up. It is looping at the boot animation" is GOOD information. We need to know What, when, how. We need to know if you followed a guide and which one (links where possible)

hey i'm reading guides in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344125 to understand s3 more
but i have a question about mine ( sorry for being rushing in but i do need to change my phone these days )
my s3 is on leaked 4.2.2 israel , i need to flash back into 4.1.2 stock EGYPT ( or any good custome ROM ).
when i flashed 4.1.2 EGY before it made " restarting bootloader ". so rootSU told me to make factory wipe.but it didnt work
while am reading i found that restarting bootloader is a good sign that my phone isn't brick ( note : its working normally but the leaked ROM 4.2.2 having alot of issues ).
what should i do , please ask me for what u exactly need to know of info about my phone so i can provide and fix this.
(( do i need to just wait for 4.3 official release )) ?
thanks in advance
i really wanna make it to the factory state so i can backup nandroid and save my phone so i can start trying

efs is not related to rooting or custom roms mate. it is related to the network connection and your imei number. you need to back it up and keep safe so that if you face network problem after updating the phone to the latest 4.1.2, that might help you restore. refer to the thread under my signature for any queries relating to efs/imei.

all you have to know is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289
without backup it is really difficult though
maybe if you describe exactly what you have done that you have lost it, people might be able to better help you
but first read the linked thread.
It's pointless answering these threads, they don't know how they broke the efs and didn't make a backup anyhow. There are thousands of identical questions, none of them accept that there isn't an easy solution.
