your probably gonna get it back to stock in Odin...

happened to me when flashing sungsonic (forgot the 2nd davlik wipe)

if you cant get to odin mode (happened to me too) because when you shut off the machine it just starts

your gonna have to plug it into the charger...

hold the power button to turn it off,

wait for the batter indicator to come on...

wait 10 sec...

hold the power button to turn it off again

as soon as it shuts down hold the volume down and power button...

this should kick it into odin mode...

Hi

I have bought a unlocked nexus for reliance cdma in India. The phone works just fine but i cannot do a conference call! Merge Calls does nothing! How can i reactivate this feature? As i understand it, it is pressing a sequence of numbers that makes no sense on the reliance network but used to work on the sprint network. Am i right? And yes, conferencing is already enabled with reliance. According to them, its a inbuilt feature of the phone, supposedly.

Regards,

Xyan

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ring_C:
I know the headline sounds weird. I'll try to explain.

My friend of mine got his new S3 i9305 just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it fell and the screen cracked.

He ordered a screen from ebay and tried to replace by himself, but seems he has damaged the LCD screen, which costs over EUR 160!

So he decided he won't take the risk on himself, and handed his device to a local shop to replace the LCD for about EUR 200.

When he got his cell back, it didn't recognized his SIM. It took him about 2 hours to find out his S3 has no IMEI anymore.

When he got back to the shop, today, it was found they've replaced his i9305 LCD with a i9300's one. Unfortunately it'll take them 3 weeks to get a i9305 LCD. Meanwhile, they claim they didn't touch the phone software (nor did he) and that IMEI was lost due to the wrong LCD put in place.

Does that make any sense to you? Can an i9300 LCD cause a missing IMEI on a i9305?

The problem is, he doesn't have ANY backup in order to try and restore the IMEI (if possible at all, after the above story).

Would appreciate anyone's help if possible, as to if the above is reasonable at all, and if not - on how to restore the IMEI without a backup.

TIA!

PS: Just got additional info. I've asked him to tell me what happens after he dials #06#, the answer was "Baseband unknown and IMEI null/null". Does this help in gathering what's wrong?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jetbruceli:
If I was him I would contact Samsung and explain the situation and hopefully they can help. I understand that unless you have the efs stored somewhere safe it might be a lost cause.

However I am not an expert but I have known that it's vital before flashing any firmware
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] vasp3690:
I don't believe that is true. I smell a scam here.

I have so far done the opposite and that is to fit a i9305 lcd to a i9300 galaxy without issues. The imei is on the motherboard and has nothing to do with an lcd screen replacement which is really just one plug.

I suspect they may have done something software-wise or even replaced your motherboard. Far fetched but anything can happen
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ring_C:
Thanks, vasp. I think the same, but we can't prove nothing.

So I got the device yesterday to see if I can manage to restore/inject the IMEI. Bottom line: Couldn't.

I've tried all methods I could find, like this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804123 or this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38762474 but failed.

The device is an international (Purchased in Germany) version of GT-i9305 device.

So, is this device doomed to be used as an MP4 device and that's it? No way we can inject the IMEI number back to the phone?

By the way, the IMEI folder under EFS is there. Though, I can't tell if it the exact folder that originally came with the device, but it's there. Can this help?

I'm totally clueless.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] vasp3690:
Do you have the original IMEI on the box of the device you bought it from? Perhaps if you send it to samsung they may do.something for you at a price though.

However for 200£ I'd guess samsung could have fixed the screen for you and it would have been official as well
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ring_C:

You had to backup your EFS before any manipulations.

No problem

Hi,

I did replace my phones (i9305) screen with a screen i bought from ebay (under 100€) and it was labeled: "for I9300".

Did the replace as I have done to several other phones, (teardown instructions), and replaced the screen no problem.

After replace i compared to my friend phone and i cant see any difference whatsoever..

works great!

Could it be possible that, when you replaced the screen there was a electrostatic discharge to the motherboard? That would be my guess wgat has happened..

I asked my local retailer and they didnt find any screens that were specifically for the i9305, only s3 i9300.

(I have the N version with no brand.)

Wish you luck!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] netvorCZEK:
Well, I'm feeling scam here. The IMEI is connected with motherboard. LCD shouldn't have any effect to your IMEI. If I were you, I would go to the shop and tell them what have just happend. I'm pretty sure they'd be nasty. You can try to flash Perseus kernel, which can restore your IMEI. Then there are no more way how to fix it, maybe in Samsung service, but there you'll be lighter for a couple of €.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Nin.D.Tendo:
Die Lösung :D falls du es mit frame gekauft hast

Heyhey, I have the same Problem as you, but I have found the Problem (at least when you have built in an LCD+Frame(housing))

In the picture one you can see the housing of the i9305 and the i9300

In the housing below (the i9305)

the marked part is longer than the part of the i9300.

So ....If you reassemble it , the shorter part of the lcd +frame of the/for the i9300 will directly press on your FR-IC chip.

-> not working -> no IMME

So If you reassemble every thing like this:Pic 2

It should work and you should have n IMME again(Use another Frame then)

OK, da du deutscher bist oder österreicher schreib ich in Deutsch. ich lass es etz mit der gross schreibung,damit es schneller geht.

Also im Bild 1 siehst du dass der markierte teil länger ist.(also beim i9305) weil des i9300 kürzer ist, drückt es auf deinen RF-IC chip und deswegen funktionierts nicht.

verkauf das LCD+Frame wieder(falls du es als so ein komplett gekauft hast.

und kauf dir eins für das i9305.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] zzsomebody:
Thanks for the post and pics there NinD.Tendo.

This is pretty good electro-mechanical visual diagnostics you got going there.

Not sure if that is the actual cause though, yet I must say its looking that way.

For those who call this type of event a scam or suss, NOPE, its real, very real and it is completely unintentional.

I too changed a Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 screen, rebonded the screen and put it into a new mid frame.

Same thing has happened to me also, No IMEI null/null plus Baseband version is Unknown.

Just disassembled the I9305 again to try the way you mentioned NinDTendo, but this is still showing up as IMEI null/null etc

I even laid it back in its previous 4G mid frame to reduce movement and to also give it the extra length you have shown in the pics.

Plus, I done it the way the 2nd pic was and still got the No Network icon on the Notification Menu showing, and sill no IMEI.

I have Android 4.3 on this and feel I am running with the non backed up and corrupted EFS folder. This also seems logical.

Perhaps there are few variations of this issue, but funny how changing a LCD screen can trigger this off, and its not just me, there is another forum with similar complaints or experiences of this too, so its no Con Job or random unlucky moment, its a Caution to take note of and so far so good in tracking down what you have posted Visually, this also helps, or will help many also.

Speaking of these Visuals in the Pics, I cannot see why if we were to even Cut the I9300 mid frame length further to match the length of the I9305 mid frame, that also should work, should one be in a position left with no choice would you not think?

Meanwhile, any cures or ideas for the unbacked up EFS corrupted folder?

I am getting another I9305 phone which is brand new (for another friend) and I was wondering what if I backed up that folder and tried to replace the corrupted folder on the No IMEI handsets, would that work does anybody kjnow? or replace it and use some app to edit the IMEI once the folder is readable with the new phones backed up folder. Would think it would or may work.

Last, for those who have access to an Octopus box and cables may stand a good chance on getting this fixed also, The product states it can or will, but these are things many of us do not have laying around at our disposal, unless we know somebody or a shop or service place that charges a small fee for their service. If anybody has experience with that, would be good to hear about it.

Have u already tried without assembling the whole phone? I dont know much on this topic but i found that out and the imei chip is right there so I thought it may be the solution...but it can be wrong...i bought myself an s4 already....

Yes, have rebuilt this particular phone, though when re assembling this one, it was a I9305 Mobo, but put back into a I9300 pebble blue mid frame assembly with re glassed LCD (loca job) and rear cover, all new and I never knew the mid frame was different in that area outlined in your pic you posted.

Perhaps when closing up and pressuring the actual glass on I have damaged this chip. Is there an actual photo of the chip itself located on the Mobo do you know?

Have tried all sorts of ways and the value of these devices are falling all the time, so I am not going to get too hung up on it over a an approx $200 dollar used phone, but shame about all the nice work put into this only to get tripped up at the end...lol

I have wanted a way to easily flash a zip immediately after flashing a new ROM that will import all my custom ringtones and SMS notifications.

I found a DIY-zip posted by maatsby. It was made for the Desire HD, and it might work just fine with our phones just as it is. I don't know a whole lot about flashable zips but I looked at the zip Synergy made for our GS3s to back up the EFS partition, and I modified the script of the original DIY file to match the same dev/block address for the system partition.

Followed the instructions maatsby had in the OP to put in my own files, flashed on Carbon 1.5 AOSP and it worked perfectly! You can give maatsby thanks in his thread

Here are the steps:

1. Download the DIY-sounds-GS3.zip

2. Open zip but do not extract it

3. Navigate through "system" until you get to the folder that you want to make changes to

4. Drag and drop your song in that folder

> e.g. if you want a new ringtone, navigate to "ringtones" folder and drop your song in to the ringtones folder

5. Delete the README.txt

6. Navigate to the other folders and add your songs there too

> If you don't want to add any other songs, just delete the README.txt files in each of the other folders

7. Nandroid backup

8. Flash in recovery
