[Q] help before flashing a new rom (PLEASE DON'T CLOSE THE THREAD) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

please don't delete or close the thread..it's a help section and i want help..so closing it will make no sense
now i am on EMF6 stock rom and i was having the 0000 serial number problem and got it fixed by ariza patch v0.5
i want to flash mj9 rom..i know that there will be a problem with the efs thing
so what steps should i make before flashing the rom?
i have read the efs related threads and still dont know what to do

Yes, there will be a problem with your serial number, you will lose network connection. Patched modem will probably help but you'll have to try before you'll know.
Else stay with your current rom, as everything works.
This information is already available in many, many threads -starting a new one so that you get a personal answer, also dictating to the moderators is pretty arrogant.

If your phone is working then do not flash anything .

i want to update

Then do so, but your phone will stop working. A patched modem thread was made for people who'd used ariza, search for it.

I'm afraid but we do not allow discussions on imei modifications (in contrast to those on backup/restore). The good members here have already shown you a path, it is your choice to walk through it. If you expect someone to hold your hand and feed you all the steps, then that's not gonna happen.

will flashing a new radio fix my wifi issue?

Hi,
I'm complete noon and have tried searching for answers but I get confused about what can and can't be done and whether radios need to match ROMs or just phone etc.
Anyway my problem is I just update my ROM from foxhound 4.1.2 to slim ROM 4.2.2. I really love the new ROM but my WiFi doesn't connect properly in fact I need to mess about turning flight mode on and off about 5 times before it connects. It tends to just loop on the "obtaining IP address step" then fail.
So my question - do radios control the behaviour of WiFi? If so is it possible for me to flash the radio from my previous ROM onto this ROM (never had this problem with prev ROM) and if so where do I get the radio from?
Please help
Thanks
No WiFI is Kernel.
Ask your question in the roms thread .
Try reading the basic faqs and guides before flashing then you might understand what you are doing .
Modems are in the modem thread under search .

No ask a question in Q&A by al means but if its specific to a rom the ask in the roms thread and read the thread for same problems .

I see what your saying thanks. I can't find an exact match for the other forums you suggested but assume they would be in the original development forum?
Thanks again

in case you havent red the top , i mentioned that i red the threads , also said that coulnt find the solution in them n thinking that my prob is different , i was hoping to see some good answers not lectures for reminding me the rules of the Forum , if you have the answer you could just give the link , thats the least you could do after all , if you dont , i dont need any lectures right now , thanks
That's because 4.3 patches your modem and CSC. Try fixing these both up.
Try this ROM to reset then install your ROM regarding your CSC:
https://hotfile.com/dl/156320160/eb4a939/I9300XXALE8_I9300OJVALE7_OJV.zip.html
Try this PIT while patching the ROM (remember to choose "Repartition" if you chose PIT):
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...4bbe0c99c539/5166c4b1/1/2/2/1/5/8/7/I9300.zip
Keep us informed with results.

Critical you read the first two posts .
As i said far to little information posted .
Not a clue what firmware on your phone and your reply just proved a failure to read the faqs and guides .
Basic problem is we are not a help forum but a developers forum scores are nothing to do with it .
Help is given freely but not when users fail to search fail to read the basic faqs and guides and post the same question that is posted ten times a day .
Suggest you read the faqs and guides post some information don't be abusive or go away . I certainly have no inclination to help you preferring to put you on the ignore list .

Need Help Immediately !!!!URGENT!!!!

I have a problem , after i flashed official 4.3 , it had so many bugs so i installed the 4.1.2 , but the SIM didn't work and the IMEI changed to 0049........... and serial changed to 00000000 so i flashed 4.3 again , the serial is now random numbers and the IMEI still 0049........... i tried formating , Ariza patch and rooting , but didn't work and afterwards the Lock screen is no longer there , if held the lock button the Restart Flight Mode Power OFF menu doesn't show up and closes instantly and then this appears HELP PLZ :crying: :crying:

I need help,phone behaving strange.

Please i really need help.
I have searched the trouble shooting part of this forum but i didn't see anyone having the kind of problem i have now.
I was using leaked 4.2.2 when samsung released 4.3,and from there i updated to wanam lite 7.2(4.3).
after using 4.3 for some weeks i decided to go back to 4.2.2,after flashing 4.2.2 in Odin,i discovered that i have no gsm signal and mobile data and also a wrong Imei number,so i restored my backed up efs folder,rebooted and yet no network.
So i decided to delete the whole efs folder and replace with the one i backed up and after doing that i still did not get network.
i decided to installed an MG4 modem and after i did that i was able to get network and my imei number corrected itself too.
Now the strange problems am experiencing after going through the above includes;
1.after flashing a samsung stock 4.2.2 (in order to start afresh),my phone jumps the start up menu(where you find language selection,google signin etc) and go straight to home screen.
2.after a few seconds of loading the home screen i see a write up in yellow that never goes away unless am on another application(image attached).
3.if i press and hold the power button,instead of a pop up menu the phone shuts down.
4.any other rom that is not stock samsung based never boots.
5.i cant restore a previously made nandroid backup(it stops when restoring system)
with all the mentioned problems i can make and receive calls,use mobile data,also have a correct Imei.
i beg all the talented people here to help me out as i am not okay with the state of the phone....
Thanks,looking forward to your helpful posts,meanwhile i use a blue GT I9300,16gig.

Hello everyone.
I installed CM 4.4 ROM is unofficial then I did not like it so I put rum OMEGA V51 4.3 Suddenly I saw listed calls only so I tried to fix it at home and I could not so I went to the lab and they buy me a box with recording NSPRO now they stung me Rom 4.1. 2 and now I want to burn an altitude of OMEGA V51 I can without problems or that my IMEI will return to 0049
thanks to helpers.
You can move to a custom Rom, but you will have problems if you don't understand the changes to the efs format.
Start by reading the sticky thread, efs 'know this stuff' in general forum. There is no ready answer and there are hundreds of similar posts, you are required to search before posting new threads.
