All new modems ( XXEMG4,DDEMG2,CEEMG2,) are changing files in efs folder ,they are interchangeable . You can return to the mg4 modem .

Back to the old modems is possible only with the help of restore backup efs image firmware with the old modem .it is risk (50/50) .
[Galaxy S III General] janres155:
can I flash XXEMG4 modem + RIL over the XXEMG6's CEEMG2 modem?
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Why wouldn't you be able to? Of course you can.
[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
If his signature is correct he's on 4.3, so shouldn't included the RIL?
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Oh. It's because I thought he said he was on XXEMG6

Nothing in this thread can be flashed on None-Samsung ROMs
[Galaxy S III General] tr4usut:
Tks you :)
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
Hello everyone, I'd need some confirmation.

Here's the situation I'm in : I recently flashed stock XXEMG4 rom WITHOUT an efs backup (ok, call me what you will, I know)

I've found that I'm able to use samsung roms with the mg4 modem, but not AOSP roms (no network).

Is this normal behavior with this new modem ?
[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
If your AOSP roms tries to use a modem older than EMG2 then yes, this behaviour is normal.

Read the IMEI 'know this stuff' thread for further help.
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
Thanks for your answer but, AFAIK, Paranoid Android & SentinelROM, which I tried, don't come with a modem.

Yet, if I flash these roms, I have to enter my pin code several times before it unlocks it, and I still don't have a network connection.

While on Samsung roms, it all works perfectly...
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Oh you're one of those PIN users.

Do this...

Restore nandroid back to Stock based ROM

REMOVE SIM PIN lock

Wipe / flash etc

Test Network

If works, re-apply SIM PIN
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
I've already tried that, thing is, it used to work before I flashed the new modem alongside the ROM.

I guess I must have ****ed something up when I tried to fix my IMEI problem before I got the info that in fact, Samsung was doing things here...

What beats me still, is why it still works on stock roms...
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
This is one I think you'll struggle to get an answer for
[Galaxy S III General] kadopt:
Maybe you have a script that backups ril, if so erase it and flash aosp rom. Aosp roms now use openril (comes with the rom) instead of samsung ril and if the script is there then Sammy ril stays.
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
And where would I find such script ?

Or would flashing modem + ril after the AOSP rom is flashed be a solution ?

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 en utilisant Tapatalk 4
[Galaxy S III General] kadopt:
Flashing after would replace the current ril package with the one in the package defeating the purpose. Scrip is in system/addon.d folder and should have ril in the name like "81-ril.sh".

Delete script and flash aosp rom. You can get modem/baseband only packages to avoid ril issues in the future here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28033515
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
I just checked with Root explorer and I don't have such a folder on my phone.

Though, I've been thinking, could my problem come from a possible incompatibily with the new modems and openril ?
[Galaxy S III General] kadopt:
I'm using xxemg4 modem with CM10.2 and there's no issues. Also the folder should be there. If you install gapps the folder and a script to backup the gapps are created.
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
Ah, I was on a stock Samsung rom when you asked that, since I can't do much on AOSP roms for now, and indeed, I do have this folder on sentinelrom, but no ril backup scripts...

Update : Found a solution to my problem, I used EFS Pro's option to Repair Unknown Baseband / No signal (nv_data ownership it seems), and it was fixed instantly.

Thanks everyone for trying to help me :)
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
OK, maybe not that much fixed, let me explain.

Once I use EFS Pro, it works, I can call and whatever, BUT, if I reboot/shutdown, once back up, my IMEI is generic, serial is full of 0s, I'm connected to the network, but can only make emergency calls...
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Restore your efs using the tool you backed it up then

Go to your efs folder using root explorer and delete these two files

.nv_data.bak

.nv_data.bak.md5

Then restart your phone
[Galaxy S III General] NGRaziel:
Did what you said, no changes, to sum it up, after the flash of any aosp rom, IMEI is correct, baseband is detected.

However, my serial is wrong, and the phone does connect to the network for 1 or 2 second(s) every now and then.

Though, most of the time, it tells me "error while searching for networks".

Also, everything is fine under samsung based roms, IMEI, baseband, serial, and network.

Really weird one :/
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
what modem are you using ?

If you only having this issue with AOSP ROM's then it's ROM related.. not Modem related. So you may get better help with the specific ROM thread you using.. there might other users with same issue.

Thing is, it happens with MULTIPLE AOSP ROMs, which used to work before I flashed the new Samsung rom with MG4 and all the efs **** up...

Questions on Australian S3 i9300T

Hey all,

I'm new here so sorry if the questions are too noobish.

Anyway I got my hands on an Australian S3 i9300T from a friend.

It seems to be unlocked and 4.1.2 jellybean is installed on it, specifically this version that I saw in opening thread :

TDUEMB1

Android:4.1.2

Date: 14/02/2013

Carrier-Country-Region: Vodafone,Thailand - Asia

Fact is I'm living in Europe and I did read that this cellphone actually favors the 850mhz band right?

I've checked with carriers here, and the fact is we mainly use the 900 or 1800 band with GSM. 850 seems unavailable in our country.

1. So what does this mean exactly that I'll have trouble with my network? Or will I be ok with 900 band carriers with the i9300T? Must I change something in phone options about the band from the bootloader to be ok?

2. Since I'm interested in rooting, would it be possible for me to root this version of the phone with CF-automatic root as it is? Or the CF/CWM manual root? Is it possible to do it as it is compatibility-wise, or is it a requirement to install a stock rom version first ?

If I should have opened a new thread for this, please inform me appropriately.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

Can I just make a copy of the efs folder via ES file explorer and restore from that if something goes wrong? Or is there a certain way the efs needs to be backed up?
[Galaxy S III General] adrenalin100:
No .This is not enough .Уou need make copy efs image ( efs.img) .In play store - kTool .apk (free app ) ,but it does not guarantee 100% ))))The best way through the terminal or CMD If the installed platform SDK .

How to make copy efs.img ?

You need install Android terminal emulator (play store ) .

command backup efs.img

su

dd if=dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=sdcard/efs.img

command restore efs.img

su

dd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Philz touch recovery can backup and restore efs.img and other programs (need installed platform SDK )

[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
Glad to see you still helping out, your contribution is very much missed.

The thinking on the efs change is that you need both an EMx or later modem and kernel installed for the efs format change to happen and work. Doing one or the other either doesn't change the format or won't then connect. RootSU has a great thread on all the details.

A guide to extracting and building CWM/odin package would be very useful, could you also do the same for your kernel thread?

Thanks again.

My post was related to the 4.3 aosp roms, not samsung (in case you wonder).

All aosp roms (cm, omni, pa, slim) use an open source libril. This means those roms are not compatible with the samsung ril. Flashing a samsung ril will most likely break calls, signal, etc.

[Galaxy S III General] Gho5t_Dog:
1. Search, and you will find.

2. Do NOT use GetRIL, as it can cause all sorts of trouble by flashing incompatible RILs

3. RILs have very little, if any, effect on signal strength

4. Since 10.2, CM no longer uses any of the Samsung RILs, but a single open source one that is compatible with any modem. Flashing a Samsung RIL will make your phone a WiFi-only device (i.e., you will have no signal).

[Galaxy S III General] zaid.oj:
But getRIL says XELKC as recommended and what I already have is XELLA! Or am I wrong?
[Galaxy S III General] fbarcenas:
Depending on your plans for upgrading your ROM, you might consider loading a Samsung Based ROM with an M series modem (like Omega ROM) so that you can have it update your EFS to V2, then you can wipe and install something like CM11 with an MK6 modem and be up-to-date.

Please note that once you upgrade you EFS to V2, you will never be able to go back to an L series modem and it will fail to read the V2 EFS and fail to register. Unless of course you backed up your v1 EFS and restore it.

I'm currently using a i9305T in Japan on the Docomo network. Though I can only get 3G and not LTE. Suppose if I change the modem of the phone to another one that supports the Docomo LTE network, then with luck I may be able to get LTE signal instead of 3G.
[Galaxy S III General] fbarcenas:
I'm pretty sure you will brick your phone trying to use a I9300 modem on your I9350T. I would not do it. You might try locating an updated ROM in SAMFIRMWARE.com . They will have a stock ROM with STOCK MODEM that will make eveything on your phone work as it's supposed to.

Once that is done, you can then consider rooting it, making a backup of your stock firmware, efs, and try another i9305T ROM if you'd like.
