[Q] HELP ME!: SIM card don't accepted by phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I really hope that one of you can help me with my problem!
First I posted this thread in another forum (T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron Samsung Galaxy S III)
but they proposed me to place it here, because it is a international model. I9300 from Tmobile.
What my problem is:
Last summer a guy abroad rooted my Galaxy S3 (Tmobile) so I could use my phone abroad.
Unfortunately I didn't know that, cause my knowledge about devices isn't that good.
I think that he changed my IMEI number and that this is the problem with my simcard which isn't accepted by my phone.
Two days ago my phone started to do weird things like starting it self and locking it self.
So yesterday night I decided to unroot my phone, I thougt this could be a reason of it.
I unrooted it by a video at youtube and it worked. Only like I have said my sim card dont work.
The only number I can call is the emergency number and I don't think that will help --'
Please help me, I am really desperate!
(my english isn't so good, I hoop that I am clear enough)
Greets!
a few information maybe it will help:
Model number: GT-I9300

Your unrooting had changed the imei to a default, you don't say what you did to unroot but you probably flashed a v1 efs rom instead of v2.
Go read sticky threads, efs 'know this stuff'.

Back to repair - battery blinking - camera not working

Hi everyone,
after getting my phone from repair (battery was blinking). I have successfully rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5 and discovered the INSANE CHIP and SW:
Vers: 4.0.4
baseband: I9100BULP8
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 9 02:19:25 KST 2012
Build: IMM76D.BULPG
As the device was upgraded to that version, I cannot send it rooted to repairs again because the camera doesn`t work. So and because f the Insane chip a cannot upgrade it to 4.0.4. What to do? Any ideas?
Thanks

Well the first of all, try flashing a different kernel, I've experienced the camera problem before, but after flashing Siyah kernel the problem was fixed for me, you can also try any other kernel and see what works for you. If it doesn't work, let me know and we can try other ways of fixing the problem.
I did what you sugested, but because of the INSANE chip i really don`t want to mess around a lot. So I flashed Siyah kernel and the SII doesn`t start up, but i can still come to Volume Up or Volume Down screen. All I know, that I cannot flash with original rom 4.0.4 because than will destroy the phone - wipe everything of it.
will that do the trick? LINK searching for XXLPQ
iflashed with original kernel, and the S2 woke up, but the problem still exists.
How can i find the same rom on sammobile? I did searched my operator but it is not listed there. I listed also the french ones and spanish ones and none of them is the same as mine.

If muppets like you want help include your country/or the original software version that came with the phone/the carrier you use etc.How can you expect anyone to link you up with software when you post what your on now.
Samsung can quite easily knock back your warranty if they find a rom that is not meant for the phone your sending them.They can look for signs of tinkering etc.

As I wrote in the first post

baseband: I9100BULP8

and I don`t find that specific one for my country.
COUNTRY: Slovenia
CARRIER: Vodafon (Si.mobil)
Before i have send it to warranty repair of usb connector, it had 4.0.3 (I9100BULPG_I9100SIMLP6_SIM) as it was updated via Kies. So it was updated at service, with something I cannot find.
If any more information is needed, PLEASE write it down, I will look after.
Thank you

Ok, you know what, just flash stock firmware...anyone will do. Then root your device and install triangle away, wipe your binary counter and the re-flash stock firmware and delete any root files/apps you might have. That deletes all evidence that you might have rooted your device and then send it for repairs. If you don't want to, just hard brick it and they will replace it for you, providing you still have warranty?

[Q] Is my I9300 from China fake ?

Just recently bought the I9300 out here in China. Actually it's the 2nd time I've bought this phone (lost it the first time I owned it). Right away I noticed that some of the preinstalled chinese bloatware apps were different than what came preinstalled on the I9300 I previously owned.
Living in China I'm always nervous of something being a fake, even when I buy it from a trusted source. I think it's very possible that the phone has simply changed since the last time I bought it (about a year ago) but I figure it's better to post the specs on here and let someone who knows more about the phones in China decide if my phone is a fake or not.

Android Version: 4.1.2

I think, your device is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Original.
You have the versión GT-i9300_CHN_CHN from China Unicom.
I have the same versión, but i change the stock rom, i made a modified rom from CHINA and Spain, so i can enjoy Play Store, and full Spanish or English Android.
If you still have doubts, Search the App: Genuine Galaxy S4/S3/Note II, this app tell you if your Galaxy is original, using hardware test.
Good Luck

Don't worry, buddy. That's just fine. You may install a new rom such as XXELLA or later.
The baseband ZCELL1 is customed for CHINA UNICOM. That is the ONLY services provider that have WCDMA/HSDPA network.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 CSC unknown and IMEI 0049

Here's the deal:
I have a Samsung galaxy S3 I9300 bought from China, it was working normal without any problem until I wanted to install another Firmware beceause the Chinses didn't have any Gapps (no Google maps, no Gmail, no Chrome...), ... didn't go well (lost the IMEI and I got one starting with 0049..., so I can't make any calls or other things with my SIM card).
I reflashed it with Chinese rom, I still have the 0049 IMEI and I lost the CSC, when I dial *#1234# I get:
AP: I9300ZCEMF2
CP: I9300ZCELL1
CSC: Unknown
the ROM already installed: I9300ZCEMF2_I9300CHNEMF2_I9300ZCELL1_HOME.tar.md5 So I am now downloading another Chinese ROM (with android 4.3 in it) the file name is I9300ZCUBML1_I9300CHNBML1_CHN.zip so technecally the PDA version is I9300ZCUMBL1
Some informations:
model number: GT-I9300
Android 4.1.2
BaseBand Version: I9300ZCELL1
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1274177 [email protected]#1 SMP PREEPT Thu Jun 20 17:53:58 KST 2013
Build number: JZ054K.I9300ZCEMF2
Here's what I want from you guys:
If I install this ROM, what could go wrong? I mean could I have more problems than i already have?
Obviously, I am trying to do is
1.get rid of the CSC unknown
2.get my IMEI back
If the flash will be succefull Do i have any chance of fixing any of these problems? If installing the new ROM won't do anything about it, how can I fix it?
I hope that my problem is clear. and if you need any more information just tell me, I'll update as soon as possible.
Thanks
