Thats what I did. I got a complete phone and took all the inards out of it and put mine inside...now im having EFS and IMEI issues. its doing my nut in m8.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mankidavu:
Not sure about the exact issue in your case.

But seen this overlay screen message discussion on some of the other threads here.

Please check, if the solution on those works.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
You might need to put everything back in its place and just chance the screens over. I hope it didn't get corrupt cos of the bad phone. Did you try a result with a root explorer of the old imei?.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blackwatch:
So far I have tried everything I can think of. I also have a new problem....Now my home button doesnt work :S

on the replacement phone everything works except no IMEI or baseband at all.

On combo phone ( replacement phone screen ie the LCD and glass etc with my motherboard in it ) I have baseband with dodgy IMIE ( 0049***** ) but the home button has decided not to work ffs
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blackwatch:
**UPDATE****UPDATE****UPDATE****UPDATE****UPDATE**

I fixed the IMEI issue ( yay for me :D:laugh::D ) I'm not sure if i did this right but here goes for anyone else in the future.

1. I copied what was the corrupt EFS folder to my SD card using ES Explorer root ( into a separate folder called EFS OLD to avoid confusion )

2. I then extracted the EFS.tar file i had on my pc using winrar, and then copied that to my SD Card.

3. I then copied the EFS folder from my SD card to the root directory making sure to also copy the permissions.

4.I booted into recovery and wiped the daivk cache ( I think this was just a lucky guess as I was trying to fix permissions )

5. Rebooted my phone and saw the signal meter had gone from a greyed out triangle to a circle with line in.....thinking I had made things worse I went straight to about device > status and saw i had a new IMEI. I then checked this against my IMEI and bingo I was in business again, so I went to the other end of the lounge to check I could get a signal and yes within a few seconds I was getting SMS messages RESULT.

I am now going to use Ktool to make a back up of my EFS and store it in a few good safe places. After that I have to figure out why the home button wont work on this board ( although it used to in the last casing ) but does if I put the old board back in....please god be something simple.

A huge, no make that a MASSIVE thanks to everyone that has chipped in with links and helping me
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
So it pretty much sounds like you restored a backup you had on your PC back to your phone with a root explorer?. Nice one mate. In the end a while lot of shot nerves but a phone that still works :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Great glad but instead of k tool, check out SA Manager do a search in xda .. also backs up modem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blackwatch:
I took back ups etc and overnight I lost my IMEI number. Then I spent all day yesterday trying to fix a boot loop issue thanks to a corrupt /EFS partion. Now I have that back I have to some how restore my IMEI again and keep it restored.....this has taken over my life for the last 7 days now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
How are you backing up the IMEI mate?. I remember using ktool ages ago that screwed everything up. Best is just to backup and restore with a root explorer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blackwatch:
I used K tool and also SAMSUNG_I9300_EFS_BACKUP. Eventually after a lot of messing about ( i think it was around 4am this mornng out of despertion I flashed a file called - GT-I9300RWDEUR_I9300XXUGNA8_RF1C70NAZ2X_GT-I9300RWDEUR_I9300XXUGNA8_RF1C70NAZ2X_EFS That I found on my PC ( I copied everything I could find when I was backing up ) and i got the /EFS partion back but still lost the IMEI again grrrr
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
I noticed you're also on the thread about IMEI and signal, they're better able help you, but as mentioned above k tool causes issues for some, reason I stirred you to SA Manager. Good luck. Usually, a flash of original stock firmware where phone is from does trick, then you can customize it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blackwatch:
I have gone into the back up of the EFS tar I have read the NV text file. In there it shows " Tue Jul 3 05:47:43 2012: IMEI number writing input. " SO i take it that is the date the phone was made if so would i be able to flash this rom - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=5884 ?

or as the last entry in t NV file is " Sat Nov 16 00:15:44 2013: NV data back-uped " Do i need a later ROM such as - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=VOD#firmware
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
won'te used ktool and it screwed everything up for me so that's when i just started using root explorers. Faster and safer. Just copy the whole efs/ folder to a safe place and that's it mate. To restore it just copy it back and over write the old one then change permissions and reboot. If you have a tar file you can open with winRAR and there is an efs folder inside it then just do that. Don't use an alternative method. They sometimes don't work cos they use a certain format. If you don't use it to back up then it won't work to restore and visa versa cos of program formats. That's why root explorers are the easiest.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blackwatch:
Ill try that and see what happens...at the moment I am stuck back on unknown baseband and no IMEI on both motherboards but I only have one EFS for min. I have tried to figure out how to manually add the IMEI number via HEX code but so far I cant get my phone to be read b NV_reader and QPST config.

Hi ::indie::

Development rom for I9300 is terminated :confused:

V58 will be the final ROM for this phone :rolleyes:

No change since March of this year !?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
I dont know if this helps and not trying to upset anyone with old news but this is supposed to be the official reason why there will be no KK on the S3..I think....

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/07/02...am-but-other-devices-do-with-even-512-mb-ram/

So it looks like it supports the RAM and is fine when it comes from Google but Samsung ruin it with bloat and the version of TW and TW based features they dont want to take out.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kirpman:
Well for me using omega omni rom removes the not having kk problem. Most of samsungs bloat I never used anyway so I do not miss anything. Phone is wicked fast and everything runs awsome...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Yeah mate. My S3 has run omega onmi for a while with lucid launcher and it's super sweet too. I got away from Samsung stock on the S3 and don't regret it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bangbilla:
No mirrors bro? i load with 20 kb/s..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
I'm afraid of moving away from Samsung's roms because I love multiwindow...

is there something similar to that on omni rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Omni has MW but it needs to be built in to the ROM itself. Something indie would have to do when making the next update. Illl ask if its possible. At the moment there is an xposed mod called xui that will give you a floating window.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
I would have your babies if I can somehow get multiwindow functions on the omega version of omnirom.

I mostly want to be able to use my maps app with my movie apps (so i can listen to wwe while driving) or when i need to do some email/txting while watching a movie.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
HA HA !! :)

Mate that's classic. I feel loved. Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NicoCaldo:

UPDATE - Google Play Store v4.8.22

UPDATE

"Google Play Store v4.8.

22

" :highfive:

Google Play Store v4.8.

22

:

What's New?

New Require password option

Following the recent class action lawsuit over in-app purchases, we now have a new option to always require the account password for purchases, not just once per 30 minutes. If you have kids, you should probably turn this on now.

Settings and Help finally moved to slideout nav

Settings and Help have moved - you can now find them in the slideout navigation drawer. Other Google apps were updated in a similar fashion recently, so we completely expected the Play Store to follow suit. In related news, this means that the unnecessary overflow menu on the start screen is gone.

Confusing Auto-add widgets setting renamed

The "widget" part of Auto-add widgets was really confusing since it was actually adding icons and not widgets. It's all fixed now, finally.

We can finally force Play Store self-update

Finally, we can trigger a self-update action on the Play Store itself - just tap the Build version in the settings. This will come in super handy for fresh OS installs that ship with outdated Play Stores.

IAPs now included in the App permissions screen

Following the IAP indicator added in the previous version, another warning about IAPs is now included in the App permissions list when you press Install.

Google+ +1 counts are now exact for large quantities

This one is pretty self-explanatory. If you still don't get it... drugs are bad, mkay?

Continuous security verification

There are a bunch of strings and code for continuous app verification that we learned about several weeks ago:

"Don't install"

Install anyway

Keep anyway

Uninstall

Uninstalled %1$s

"This app isn't safe. Touch for details."

You should uninstall %1$s

This app may be harmful. Touch for details.

Tweaked styles

Add buttons are now blue, the names are bold, and there's a white border around the profile image:

For those of you with multiple accounts, the account selector looks a bit different now and now longer makes all the nav items disappear.

Don't blame ya, damed Knox BS. One plus looking good, also like the G3. Good luck .. I have another month or two to decide.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] II GHOSTFACE II:
If you can delay it to 1-3 months that'll be better because the new phones due around Sept. That's what I've done I've upgraded a downgrade (sim only lower costs 30 day rolling contract) so I get full whack on choice of up to date phones. LG g3 I would go for but I really want qhd an fingerprint, also I fear anything with 2gb ram it will be out of date within the year for updates like our s3 so it's gotta be 3gb. Also it seems everyone likes to release primes too now. LG prime is rumoured and then the Galaxy f (prime) due August 13th apparently. Note 4 Sept release or announcements. Even though knox trip is irreversible currently crap anyway, my idea on that is how many times you had to Send your phone for repair/warranty? Me - never so I don't care just be careful an happy days.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
My exact same thoughts, waiting until Sep/Oct, liking G3 now but I'll see what prime brings and 3gb ram min. Loving my new Note 10.1 2014 Edition with 3gb ram. Flies.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
I've been looking at the LG G3 myself mate. Seems like a nice device and not to big either. As for KNOX I'm not worried about it anymore as it looks like Samsung are handing it over to Google to continue. So that may mean that in the future all android devices will carry it. Who knows what will happen if Google take over KNOX like predicted.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Seicer:
Once I bought my SGS (the first Galaxy S), I never could watch other phone screen but Super Amoled. Other screens produce ugly image, blacks are not backs, for example. So that's the only reason I keep buying Galaxy S devices, I wish someday they include better materials.

after having rooted my samsung s3 and flashed the omega rom with it, i now see that i have the Omega Files app installed. Just wondering what this app's purpose is? I'm a newbie when it comes to these stuff and probably won't mod anything myself. So will i need the app or can i uninstall it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Keep it, has stock kernels and modems, cuz you never know. Everything within the app is tested and safe to flash including mods and themes, keeps you out of trouble if you're new but feeling adventurous. Enjoy
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romelrc:
thanks for the help!

i heard though that the stock kernel pales in comparison to the boeffla one, and there are stuff i wanna try in the future that seems to need the boeffla. I see in your signature that u run the boeffla on the omega 4.3 like i wanna do. Are there any problems to do that?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
You heard correctly, I'm a long time Boeffla kernel user, tested others also which are equally good. No issues with Boeffla, actually run always the latest beta. His app also rocks, best there is.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Never had GPS issues with S3 on any rom, stock or custom. Don't recall others complaining either. On my old SGS I recall using faster fix, and selected preferred satellites. Some say GPS is an issue due to loose screws on S3, search problem. Others mentioned a mod on gps antennas (piece of paper under them to raise it a bit, search).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mosheva:
Sure enough! It worked! Thanks for the tip! it was a loose screw what a joke!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alex7999:
Of course you can try boeffla, but be careful. I installed it three or four times within past year and a half, mostly due to better sound configuration on our SGS3, but every time returned back to stock kernel because of huge battery drain. Others say they do not experience this. But in my case the battery drains three times faster when on boeffla. When I return to stock, it's ok again. So try if yourself.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GUZGUN:
Never had a battery drain with boeffla kernel with every governor.
