I've flashed stock ROM on my S3 cuz i was bored of these custom roms, and wanted stock.
I've installed the stock ROM sucsefully, but I saw Emergency calls only, and when i tried to phone my homephone it won't work, says im not registered on network
I'm trying to register, it says that i'm registered, but still problem
Make sure the firmware matches the device you're flashing. Flash the rom twice with a factory reset in-between and try again. There is also the possibility that you'll need flash something else too, like a patched or original modem..

If this will not work then you have to repair network with the help of samsung z3x box

Hi,
In my ignorance I loaded on the i9100 rom from Samfirmware XXLSJ, and it loaded ok. However the modem doesn't work. The symptoms are: connects ok to 3g network, however will not txt/make phone calls, the phone reports "not registered on network"
So, I tried flashing the XXLSJ JB again, this time with another modem, one that is supposed to be for the T variant, I'm in New Zealand by the way and use Telecom. Same deal.
No problem i thought, ill simply go back to an earlier official Telecom version on ICS. However, this now hangs on boot up on the S logo.I went back to an earlier one, that one also hangs. I went back to Gingerbread, that hangs on start up also on the S logo too.
So some questions:
Can i run jellybean and use some new modem?
If not, can i put it back to original 4.0.3 official firmware without it hanging?
I'm using Odin 3.07 to do the flashing.
Thanks in advance, i'll just be happy with a working phone at this stage :silly:

Sorted, ran the old firmware back on from Telecom, went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. all seems better.
Hello,
I've been facing this problem for days now, tried almost everything and still no luck, so I'm sorry if it's been asked before, but I'm truly hopeless.
Right now, my SGS3 works only on stock ROMs. Every time I try to install a custom ROM (JB or KK) I have a problem with the signal - either baseband, IMEI and everything is "unknown", or everything is good (IMEI not "0049...", there are full correct APNs) but it still displays the "error while searching for networks" message.
Fortunately (as I realized on other threads),I can always go back to square one, flash a stock 4.3, with no problems with IMEI or anything, but, you know, stock sucks.
I tried installing every modem I ran into, but nothing helped. Is there a secret step from stock to custom on samsung devices I'm skipping (I'm an ex-nexus user...)?

When you install a custom rom, based on samsung 4.3, do you have emergency calls only/no network?
If yes, install Boeffla kernel 5.3/or beta 5.4 because Boeffla is a patched kernel i.e. it can read patched modems, and then install a patched modem .
From the on you will have your network (no emergency calls/no network problem) and signal should be good.
But first backup your EFS and store it on a very safe location, you have ann app for that, k-Tool on Playstore (requires root).
Hello everyone,
First of all i want to thank you for all this guides that i was trying to use here
So here's my story.
I got Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 with bootloop issue so i decide to fix this by myself.
I was trying to install fimware using KIES but i doesn't fix my issue.
Then i was trying to search for right rom on several websites.
The right one and only working one was 4.0.4 with orange brand logo.
So i was excited that its finally working
Then i realize that my imei is null and my sim card is not working.
So i was trying to restore EFS using several tools and methods.
Finally i got it default IMEI 0049 but it was still not working.
My phone is not qualcomm based model so i cannot use nv item reader writer as it's required to edit IMEI
Even after applying phonutil patch my device is not being recognize as Qualcomm one.(because it's not)
So i was still looking for another way to change my imei manually as i have my original one on the box and under battery.
Finally I realized that i cannot make even Emergency calls it comes with message Out of service area.
So i was trying to apply few modem and radio updates to my phone but none of them are helping.
Anyone have similiar issue?
I have another Galaxy S3 that is working can i copy imei or whole system to my not working phone?
I know that after that i cannot use other device, but thats ok if its possible.

Have you tried patched modem and kernel? Did you read the guides on xda >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289 << and no you cannot copy imei from another phone.

I tried everything from this guide.
Regarding patch:
4.0.4-I9300BVALE4 firmware is the only one working on my Samsung
Patched modem and kernel that i found and try it are XXUGMK6.
Maybe they are different one or dedicated to my firmware

The reason you can't make calls is because at some point your phone software was on 4.3 this means your efs as changed to efs v2. Now because your current firmware is at 4.0.4 then your efs can't read this because 4.0.4 is efs v1. So you need to get a 4.3 stock rom onto your phone (I know you said only 4.0.4 works) but what are you using install firmware are you using Odin? If so what errors are you getting installing with Odin.
The patched modems and kernels are for 4.3 so they won't work on 4.0.4 or any other apart from 4.3
I was trying so many of them but its always ends with samsung logo loop it doesn' matter if i'm
do things like wipe cache, factory settings etc everytime its not working.
Even on 4.0.4 only this one rom is working.
Im always using ODIN, with KIES its always ends with samsung logo loop.

Ok a couple of things you could try (if you haven't already) I presume you have a custom recovery? Try flashing a custom stock 4.3 with recovery I suggest this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-sammys-stock-deodexed-rooted-t2585670 << This is as close to stock as possible but can be flashed with a custom recovery like Cwm,PhilZ,Twrp etc. You will also need to flash a 4.3 modem for this which is included in the thread. If the modem in the thread does not give you a signal (presuming the rom boots ) then keep the same custom rom but flash a patched modem and kernel on top with your custom recovery.
Don't forget to factory reset after flashing!
If none of that works you can always try the rescue firmware here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << obviously flash the 4.3 one. Hope that helps
Thank you very much for your help i will try this and let know here if it's working

So it's me again.
I have good news and bad news.
So i was able to install both of firmware with success.
After applying patched modem everything was still working.
But when im calling 112 for example im still having "out of service area" and my imei is still 004999...
So issue is still exist.
I can discover any network when i choose network its even says"registred on network" but then if im trying to choose some number im having error message that im not registred or if emergency call "out of service area".
Any ideas what still can i try ?
I had my s2 hard bricked and now i got a new motherboard for it, the thing is that on all stock roms (2.3 and 4.1.2) the phone works perfectly but all the custom roms 4.4 5.0 6.0 the cellular does not work, it gives me no service, tried flashing modem from cwm but no change.
i also tried different recoveries etc but custom rom no service
sometimes in custom rom imei used to be blank but it comes back after reboot, in stock no issues at all
any idea what im doing wrong or is there something up with the new board?
thanks,
Update
I was searching and I read somewhere that installing NeatROM by Sale will help, i downloaded and installed it, the good news is that cellular works and i have full 3G access.
Question: How to proceed further?
i could experiment but the thing is that if i flash a non-working rom (no cellular), i will have to flash stock from odin and start all over again
any ideas?
Update 2
i tried NeatROM and it worked perfectly, then i tried installing slimLP and boom, no service again, this time,my IMEI was blank too, so now i'm flashing stockrom again.
any idea anyone please?
hello everyone,
I flashed a rom stock on the galaxy s3 to remove the root, it worked but the phone has no network ... after search I found patches of kernels and modems that made it work But I was full of closing error ..
What is the best rom stock for not having this kind of error knowing that i want to use rom: back to noot 4.4
When I flash the rom I have no network too, what to do?
Check your imei still shows up and isn't 0049.
Define "network", wifi, data or both?. Which firmware did you flash?. What region is the phone from and is it sim unlocked?.

i've triyed many firmwares to see if the rom have something to do with it but same result only emergency calls ... now it works after installing the patch, but i really want to use android 4.4 (back to noot rom) but after flashing those patches on it Patched_XXUGMK6_kernel.zip ,Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip the phone wont boot
i dont know from any region the phone from ...
and the imei isn't 0049 i think that it's because of the patch who maked the network work again
It's definitely the patch that makes it work but the problem you have is "why won't it work without the patch".
That suggests there is something else a miss with that phone and it would be worth investigating before you flash something and brick it.
Flashing random firmware is not recommended unless you have the BTU version as that is truly unlocked and debranded.
If I were you I'd be investigating to turn the phone completely stock and start over so you know exactly where you're at with it.
From what I've read so far, you could have flashed a firmware from before 4.3 when the phone has previously been updated to 4.3. This would cause efs issues and affect imei etc.. Then you flash the patches and you have a half working device..
I don't know the exact background as you're not very forthcoming about the phone, probably because you don't know a lot and are basically "shooting fish in a barrel", like I am right now..

thank you so much for the answer ... i would turn the phone completely stock and start over ... but i dont really know what is the offcial stock tom for this phone... and there is no way to know from which version it came ... now i have flashed the back to noots rom ... and i have only emergency calls , the phone is showing the contacts but when i call one of them to test it shows " Not registered on network "
Flash to stock and get the phone working as it should.
Backup your modem and efs.
Flash back to noot.
Restore your modem and efs from the working stock backup and reboot the phone.
Finger crossed you 'should' have a working device..
