[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
If you look at the last 3 characters of the Samsung ROM version, you can tell the age of a ROM.

So the first of the last 3 characters is the year. For the S3 there are only 2 years, 2012 or 2013.

L = 2012

M = 2013

The second of the last 3 characters is the month. There are 12 Months so:

A = January

B = February

C = March

etc

K = November

L = December

Then the Third of the of the last three characters is the revision number (for the month). These go 1-9 then A-Z, so:

1 = revision 1

2 = revision 2

8 = revision 8

9 = revision 9

A = revision 10

B = revision 11

C = revision 12

The revision number only helps if you have 2 roms from the same year / month. A higher revision number is newer

This is how we know MG4 = 2013 July R4

So it was only the MG4 and MG5 roms that change EFS. Essentially the ROMs released in July. Although the 4.2.2 ROMs are a higher android version than the MG4 4.1.2 ROMs, if you look at the characters in the name of the ROM for 4.2.2 (ME7) we can see that these were released (leaked actually, not officially released) before July.

ME7 = 2013 May R7

Hope this clarifies
[Galaxy S III General] Rox598:
Gotcha! MG4/MG5 = Pain in the butt! gonna check it now hopefully i'm in the clear and can flash away at PA pretty sure i've got a clear indication of it all now, thanks again chap it's highly appreciated
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
No worries.

MH* also probably will be PITA too.

Just double check what rom you have now before doing anything
[Galaxy S III General] skssha:
Hi there !

I have flashed MG4 rom and my efs got messed up, hence flashed again mg4 base band, But the reception was very poor. I was having old EFS backed up way back in DEC12. So I have restored my EFS backed up during Dec12. After restore every thing is working, getting signal, data, and voice calls working with, but a permanent message is displaying in the screen, screen shot attached. How to over come the thing, can any body kindly help me please

Thanks for the information. I have tried all methods, nothing worked for me.

Finally cleared the efs folder contents and once again copied from back up

[Galaxy S III General] medw1974:
Today I received a 2nd Hand i9300 which has the 0049 IMEI.

I'm in the UK and the phone has the following info:

CSC Code: KCL (Kcell Kazhakstan) - I9300KCLEMB1

Baseband: I9300XXEMB1

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-936857, se.infra@SEP-79 #1, SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 6 14:18:23 KST 2013

Build Number: JZO54K.I9300XXEMB2

Another point to note is that it's a 32GB model but storage reports a Total space of 11.25GB
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Its a 16GB model then because thats the standard 16 GB size. Motherboard maybe been swapped
[Galaxy S III General] blackdios:
i have the same problem anyone can help me?
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Which same problem exactly? I quoted and answered the post you quoted. Please read everything before asking questions
[Galaxy S III General] medw1974:
If the motherboard had been swapped is it possible would the serial number in about this phone still be the same as on the sticker behind the battery?

Also would a different motherboard mean a different IMEI?
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Who knows?

Depends on the source. A new motherboard fitted at a service centre would have the correct IMEI and serial number written to it. It's too hard to speculate what's going on with yours. I would recommend an assessment by a professional in your case.
[Galaxy S III General] medw1974:
I'm doubting it would have been a service centre as they would have replaced 32GB with 32GB presumably. Something fishy is def going on as seller is claiming phone was bought at CPW in Manchester, yet the boot splash screen is Kcell which is a kazahkstan network. I requested a checkmend report on the original IMEI and serial and that showed nothing untoward.

Do you think a stock reflash would help with the IMEI in this case? Struggling to get the USB drivers to install on Win 8
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
In regards to the service centre, comment, really I was ruling it out. If it was canibalised from another unit (good chassis on 1, good mobo on another to make 1 working unit) then its possible the details are different.

I really can't advise in this situation though as there are too many unknowns and I wouldn't like to hazard a guess. I think a repair specialist should be able to tell you about the motherboard and can give you your options.
[Galaxy S III General] medw1974:
Tbh I'm beginning to think that it is infact a 16GB mobo put into a 32GB Housing but the serial numbers matching confuses me. Just checked and my nearest authorised service centre is over 60 miles away so won't be an option for a while.

Going to try unrooting and reflashing later and see what happens.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
You're not going to have warranty anyway so you dont need to go to an authorised service centre. Just any professional centre.
[Galaxy S III General] medw1974:
Didn't realise that but certainly less hassle. Thanks for all your advice.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
No probs. Good luck
[Galaxy S III General] medw1974:
Just thought I would let you know a bit of progress I've made. Been having a play about, first I installed I9300XXEMB1_I9300OXAEMB1_BTU but that had no effect. Then I tried I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_BTU and this has solved the IMEI issue and allows me to use all cellular capabilities now. IMEI matches that at the back of the battery.

It's still just showing 11.25GB storage though.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
This means that the original issue was simply the MG4 EFS issue.
[Galaxy S III General] Rox598:
Hey sorry for the delay something came up!

So my phone is indeed on mg4 and that's how I got it so that's the only efs backup I have so I can't flash PA or anything can I without losing it? And I can't flash the leak either right?
[Galaxy S III General] kangerX:
I guess you can flash anything as long as you stick to mg4 modem

sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
You should be able to flash any rom so long as you ensure you're always on an mg2 or mg4 baseband
[Galaxy S III General] PilgrimToHyperion:
I've been on MG4 for about 2 weeks now. Signal started going wonky last night and I I'm constantly disconnected from the network. I got in my car and drove about 2 km's away and the problem goes away, so it's obviously network related. Now I'm curious. Would there be any benefit in flashing MG2? Perhaps get better signal? I've also got an EFS backup and thought that maybe I should restore that because I had excellent signal on one of the older radios. Please advise kind sirs.

If it was written in C++ against the standard libraries, you might be able to re-use the program logic. Even then, though, the UI would need to be re-written.

If it's in Dalvik Java, though, it will need to be fully re-written. Thankfully, C# isn't *too* different, but it'll still be a lot of work.

Also, some Android apps need permissions that aren't available on WP8. I haven't checked what the linked app does, but not all platforms support the same types of third-party apps.

Device: gt i9300 international

Im having terrible battery drain issues with every rom I have tried, apart from cyanogenmod 10.1 which I didn't like.

It seems as though the battery will not charge above 50 or so percent and then will completely run flat after about 5 hours, and thats on standby. I have tried liquidsmooth, cyanogenmod 10.2, AOKP and multiple others, (all jb 4.2.2 roms, apart from cyan 10.1) and they all worked perfectly apart from the terrible battery life. I was under the understanding that my current roms (liquidsmooth) battery life should be excellent but It wont get above 60 percent and runs flat within hours.

I have tested multiple chargers, charged it while on and off, always shut my apps when not in use... all of the usual battery stuff.

Im at a loss as to what to do.. How do I fix it?

i tried formatting in any format but still not work .

is there any problem with ROM ( 4.1.2 N8000XXCLL1 )

any help pls !!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esgie:
If you have an USB OTG connector, try to find some cheap usb card reader and check if the card works with the tablet thru OTG. If yes - then it's 100% physical damage of the reader in your note. If it does not work, it's the system problem.

If it's the system problem:

One: your ROM is quite old. AFAIR first JB roms had no exFAT support. Check if the SD cards u r using are formatted in FAT32, if no - reformat and re-check.

Two: if you were modifying the system (i.e. by deleting "unnecessary" system apps), you may have deleted some important app related to SD cards... try to reflash stock rom (a newer one recommended...). If you do not want to lose data do a necessary backups first, however it's not necessary to wipe /data when upgrading STOCK roms within same android version.

If it's the hardware problem - sorry, warranty repair or something...
