Hi
I know the sim card is ok, cause its working in other phones. Last week after flashing the Noble Nougat Experience S8 Port rom it worked well but while playing around and installing other custom roms the last days I seemingly did a mistake. Currently when I enable mobile data I get this "put in sim card" message. I always did a clean installation, complete wipe (twrp 3.1) + format data. I guess I broke my modem but I'm not very experienced with android and so on...maybe I did a mistake while wiping!??
I hope you can help me?
I attached a screenshot from my software informations.
Is your imei intact or is it generic (004999010640000/01?
Do u have full nanoid backup in twrp? That shoud fix it. Otherwise it's fire up odin and install full original. And if thst won't help it's emergency recovery with kies or smart switch. Kies is more reliable. Manuals for that i find from google.

Hi Guys,
My phones had about one billion different ROMS on it in the past.
Today, I tried to install the un"official" leak of 4.2.2 and now my phone recognise ANY sim inserted into it - even ones from different networks. It's important to note though, the phone DOES boot into the O/S but shows the "no entry" sign for any SIM that's inserted. In addition, CWM has also stopped working and if I hold down up arrow, power and menu the phone simply keeps looping the boot "Samsung Galaxy III" screen. I've also tried re-flashing CWM but the same issue occurs i.e. the boot loop.
I can still get ODIN to work and have tried applying a previous (proper) official ROM but had no luck.
Any ideas?
Other info -
Android Version: 4.2.2.
BasBand: Unknown
Kernal: 3.0.31-611730
Build Number: JDQ39.I9300XXUFME3
Network: Unknown
Signal Strength -113dBm
Mobile Network Type: Unknown
Service State: Out of Service
Mobile network State: Disconnected
My Phone number: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
Your IMEI number is blank, so you'll not get any network to connect. Restore your IMEI back up and the network should then connect.
Regarding CWM, does the leak restore the stock recovery on each boot like official roms do? If so delete or rename the file it's using and try flashing Philz recovery to test.
It looks like you've had some partition or data corruption during the flash.

IMEI backup? Without shouting "did you not backup your IMEI", how could that have been done and how can I restore it?
You can only restore a backed up EFS .
No EFS backup then no restore .
how could that have been done>>> all in the stickied basic faqs and guides .
Looks as a paid for service repair .

Have a very careful search through internal storage and external sd, some roms backup your IMEI during installation so you might get lucky - also some have recovered it by flashing a full stock rom via odin. Worth a try, otherwise you need a service centre as JJ says.

I'd happily give another (another!) stock rom a go via ODIN but the only ones I could find used CWM and of course, that wasn't working ..... maybe that wasn't working for another reason?

Hi Gents,
thanks for your advice and help!
I was fortunate enough over the weekend to succeed in repairing the phone by bombarding various different versions of CWM until eventually one of them took hold and worked. Don't know why this happened or how but I'm now currently running a PureLook HD ROM with the ability to make and receive calls! :laugh:
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 which I successfully rooted over a year ago though I never bothered with a custom rom. I have now purchased a note 3 so in preparation for selling the S3 I did a factory reset through Settings to clear out all my apps, data and personal information. That all went well and the device booted back into the normal system a couple of times (I didn't check to see if root had been maintained or not) This weekend I got it out to sell it only to find that it boots through the first part of the routine with the Samsung moving logo but then sticks on the static SAMSUNG screen and will not go further.
I am able to boot into TWRP so would I be able to download a stock rom from somewhere, insert a micro sd card with the stock rom on it and recover through TWRP? Alternatively I do have an old full back up stored on my computer - I could transfer this to the micro sd and restore this through twrp - I can see this was made through twrm as the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-i9300.tar.md5 is stored with it. Of course if this works I would still need to perform a reset to get rid of all the personal data etc so could end up in the same situation later.
What recommendations do you helpful guys have?

try to some firmware dude
u have usb jig? use it to reset u binary :good:
and flash again with odin
if u have backup in cwm u can restore so Do it :good:
As you are going to sell it then follow the guide in general forum, stickies to return to stock. Factory reset before you boot the fresh firmware.

I don't have a usb jig whatever that is
I have an old back up on my computer which I can copy to an external SD card to put in the phone
I can then try using TWRP (I have this not CWM) to try restore the back up
This may work I can only try it - however I will still be in the position of needing to do the reset to clear all my data and put the phone back into "new" state and am concerned this may cause the problem again
Is this the best plan? I suppose once I get it working I can use ODIN to flash a stock rom
The problem is I understood all this a year ago when I rooted it but its all a little vague to me now as I decided not to do more than root the phone so I could back it up
formatting cache solved the problem!

I read someone had the same problem and just cleared the cache - so went into Team Win wiped cache and it restarted - guess I was looking for a complicated solution to something simple!
Hi,
Firstly I apologise if this has been covered before but I have searched and searched and still not found what I am looking for.
I received the OTA update for my Galaxy S3 I-9300 ( UK Version on O2 Carrier, Stock ROM), phone downloaded automatically (all good), clicked install when prompted (i believe this was a relatively small update file). I presume the phone was running 4.2 when I decided to update and this was the update to 4.3 (not sure). The phone started the firmware upgrade process all went well, the % got to 100 and the phone went to reboot. But when the phone went to reboot it stuck on the blue Samsung logo screen. Left it for a couple of hours just in case, no joy.
Having not backed up all before doing the update (as usual presumed it would be fine) I now am in the situation where I may well lose all my data, this at the minute is my LAST option. Have a few fairly valuable things on this eg. notes from meetings etc. and some photos I would like. So a factory reset from recovery mode isn't what I want to do at the minute.
I have tried to recover the phone using Samsung Kies, no joy again. With the state the phone is in it wont recognise the device and keeps bringing up an error with the USB MTP driver (have tried reinstalling the driver many times). When i put the phone into download mode (volume down, home and power) it says on Kies it is connecting, but again fails to connect. It seems the last option I am left with is to use the 'update via external storage' mode when in recovery or the 'update via ADB'? I have also tried contacting both O2 and samsung to see if they can provide me with the firmware update file that I can download and put on an SD card, but they both keep sayin each other is responsible for the firmware etc etc. I have since downloaded a rom from Sammobile.com and found a UK 4.3 rom to be installed via ODIN (not sure if this will work?)
So, I am wondering if there is any way I can recover the data from the device without losing both app data and photos/videos etc that I have not yet tried? or if anyone can guide me as to where I could get the update file to use via external storage? (and if this will work) or if using the ADB function is a possibility (dont know what it is even) Any help is much appreciated as I seem to keep going round in circles, and apologies if I have not given vital information.
Thanks,

If you don't mind losing warranty you can flash a custom recovery using odin, I'd recommend Philz, then use that to access the aroma file manager. You can then transfer all your data to the external sd.
Read philz thread for instructions.

Not really bothered about warranty as it seems that is the only way to get the data back. Although using aroma file manager am I able to get app data back? ie. when I restore the app do I have the option to do so with data? as its particularly a few notes in colournote app that I have.
Had a look for Philz Recovery, looks like it'll do the trick thanks, but could you link me just in case I've the wrong one please?

Thanks :fingers-crossed:
That is the Philz thread. Aroma file manager only moves files -it won't backup or restore anything. You will have to know which files to look for.

Ok, so I will want to move all files to the SD card and look for the app data files etc I need? how would I go about getting all my contacts aswell, can this be done through Aroma? Is this just a matter of searching through all files?
After installing custom recovery (philz) would I be able to flash the generic ROM (through ODIN) without wiping the phone? Or what are the chances this will brick the phone? Ideally it would be good if I could get the phone to the same state as it were in before the update, but I cant find if this is ROM is non wipe?? I would like to stick with the generic rom but if I had to re-flash after flashing a non wipe I could?
Again, apologies for the amount of questions but you seem to know your stuff :good: much appreciated
Contacts should be saved on your Google account, you will just have to search for anything else you need.
You can flash what ever you choose with odin, it's just highly unlikely to boot without a factory reset. First try the exact same firmware you had before the wipe, if you know it.
I'd advise you backup the efs folder in philz before you flash anything. If the dirty flash doesn't work then flash the latest BTU 4.3 firmware and factory reset.
I don't think a flash through Odin will wipe your internal SD. I believe it only wipes the data partition which stores thr app data and stuff. Pics and vids etc are safe. Changing CSC will wipe it though.

Contacts aren't saved on my google account, have them mostly saved on my phone just, so il have to have a good search through with aroma.
I found a post that said flashing the firmware I had before the update wouldn't work but the latest or a later version might...
Samsung are to get back to me in relation to giving me a downloaded version of the incremental update file, would anyone on here be able to provide a version of this do you think? in order to apply the offical update again via external storage.

So if i go from a stock rom with o2 branding to a non branded generic rom from samsung you think this will wipe it? (as this is a change of CSC?) is there any way to flash through ODIN and not wipe data partition either or is this the way it always happens?
Help/Advice
Was going to bite the bullet and flash custom recovery and flash the stock Samsung ROM through ODIN tonight, but it seems that if I do, it will change my CSC code? This as been told on here will wipe me phone. I am unable to get a stock O2 4.3 ROM at the minute but I can get a 4.1.2 ROM? Will this work is it worth waiting to see if I can get a 4.3 ROM soon and then if I flash this wont (hopefully :fingers-crossed wipe my phone?
Any advice appreciated. As stated before I cannot really afford to lose the data on phone (app data included )
Thanks

Your o2 4.3 rom is here, you will need to register to download, you can flash direct with Odin without a custom recovery, it wont wipe your phone, SAMMOBILE
If you want a generic one without o2 bloatware then use this one HERE

Thanks very much...dunno how I missed that, i had the H3G version downloaded. Ok, will flash later on, still nervous about it wiping the phone though so that is why i wanted to install custom recovery to gain aroma file manager etc...
With custom recovery I tried to install but get the error message-
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Any ideas? Tried 2 different SD cards but didnt make a difference, although neither of these have been in the phone before?
Philz recovery - philz_touch_6.19.3-i9300.zip
Thanks
If you downloaded a firmware from Sammobile.com then it will not be flashed with a custom recovery, go read the sticky guides in general on how to use odin.
You will still need to factory reset before the new firmware will boot, so use philz to remove all your files before you flash.
I am pretty new to this whole rooting process and stuff like that, but I rooted my phone and put the TWRP Rom on my phone. It has been running really slow lately, so I did a hard Advanced Wipe from the TWRP menu. I checked all the options in the Advanced Wipe area. Now when I try to reboot it, it keeps saying that there is No OS installed. And when I reboot it, it just feezes at the Samsung Galaxy screen. How do I install an OS on it? Thanks in advance...

You formatted your whole device.... Go to sammobile website, download firmware for your device and flash using Odin.

[Galaxy Note 2 - DN3 v4 RC2]

Since you have installed already TWRP, you have nothing to fear. Through TWRP and ADB drivers you can copy a new ROM zip file to your phone and install it.
Could someone please tell me where I can find a ROM for my Galaxy Light. Sammobile.com doesn't have the firmware for the Light. Thanks...

Doesn't seem like there is much love for your device. I did find someone who had made a nandroid of a fairly stock set up, but you need to switch to CWM recovery to utilize it.
Unzip to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup via adb or you will need to use an external SD card since it won't boot.:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e03mdebntt5ex2y/2014-04-23.02.15.09.zip
This is NOT a rom to be flashed, but a nandroid backup to be restored with CWM.

I did this too!
I did this too and when I used Odin to flash stock rom it still got stuck at T-Mobile splash screen. To fix this take out battery, put it back in, start it up, and immediately keep pressing the Volue + and - at the sMe time until you get to the android is upgrading screen. I have a question though, after this happened I was no longer able to make any phones calls or connect to 4G, I kept getting a not registered on network error, my imei number and serial number changed, I didn't back up my EFS, and when I try to go into settings>more networks>mobile networks>network operators I get a message saying "error while searching foR networks" someone help me. I rerooted my phone, downloaded an posed module off the play store that allows me to change my imei and I changed it back to original but still no luck. HELP!
I have a twrp back up

Hey,
My friend was running a flawless custom rom on his s3. Suddenly, it turns off by itself and the phone is then stuck on boot logo.
1. I tried to factory reset with no luck.
2. I tried to install stock 4.3 with no luck.
3. I tried to install 4.1.2. The phone booted but with no recovery. Then i noticed that imei changed to *0049 and i'm not registered on network (even though it was working well on the custom rom).
4. I tried to upgrade to 4.3, i got succeeded but recovery didnt install.
5. I tried to install the custom rom again but no luck.
6. I tried all patches of modems and kernels and ariza. All Failed.
7. I also tried EFS backup/restore and Failed.
My only concern is to know what made this issue appear all by itself ?? Because i guess we should take it to a mobile repair shop.
One last thing to say is that every time i try to install a software, available space gets low, and even if i delete some files from internal storage the storage wont free up.
Thank you !
get stock 4.3 fom and flash it via Odin (wipe everything before flash). Then flash recovery via odin. then backup efs. then flash custom roms.
downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.x causes efs to become corrupted
Seems like a corrupt nand. Was it rooted previously when it died the first time?.
Going from 4.3 to 4.1.2 will cause the imei to be lost as the efs encryption changed at 4.3. You cannot go back.
If the phone has a custom rom on it try an official cwm recovery, if not or it doesn't work then proceed to the following:
If you can get the phone into download mode try flashing the stock firmware twice or thrice with a factory reset in between each flash. Do not allow the phone to boot into the os!!. If it attempts to boot to OS after the blue pass in odin then pull the battery out immediately and boot to recovery or download mode respective of what you are doing at the time, resetting or flashing.
If that fails you can then call it a dead phone.

Wow these are new solutions to me..
I really thank you guys and i'll look forward into trying them in any upcoming problems.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
And just to mention, yes the phone was rooted when it went bricked suddenly.
I'd try to flash an official cwm and if it takes then flash back to stock twice with a reset, reroot and leave it as that. Custom roms aren't worth the paper they're written on.
In addition to downgrading from 4.3 to an earlier version, but forgot at the time of writing, you can downgrade but you need an efs backup from the time it was at 4.1.2, which has to be restored but I'm not sure of the process. I couldn't tell you if it has to be restored before flashing, after or both.
Not a lot of people have an efs backup from 4.1.2. I do, but then my phone hasn't acted wierd yet. Sods law.
Kies 2 (not kies 3) can restore the phone but only if it was in original condition. You can try the emergency recovery routine but don't hold your breath.
Beamed in by telepathy.
You're right.. Efs is the only part most of us miss !!
I wrote all of the steps you said in order.. So that if any problem occur ill deal with it based on your info.
Btw do you suggest using KK TW 4.4.4 by back-to-n00t ? Or this wont be considered as a kind of official firmware ?
