Did you wipe everything except sd card before flashing? Do you have the right firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
their kernel is already included in the rom zip file so if you are trying to flash the kernel zip file seperately, it won't work. Enable smartflash, wipe data, and then just flash the rom. 4ext will automatically flash their kernel

Hi, I have backuped my S5830i La Fleur. After wipe data and restore back, Is all good but in start on display is not more "La Fleur" animation but just ..5830i.

Any another way to restore for solution? Thanks

Backup was from original La Fleur stock, after flash is all good, just in start is not La Fleur words as in backuped firmware,,,

Is not in sammobile.com originall stock firmware for La Fleur model, just for s5830i. Or I can´t check..-.

Wifi turns off by itself about 3 minutes after connecting to a network. At times it even reboots itself trying to turn wifi off. Sometimes it even cant detect a wifi signal even though its within strong signal range.

Tried full wipe and reflash stock firmware but to no avail.

Do you guys reckon its a hardware fault?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
It could be, but what firmware/kernel version are you using? Wifi is a kernel issue, not a ROM issue per se, but if you are using a custom ROM and custom recovery, you could have flashed it with the wrong recovery and ended up with this sort of mess.

Most common scenario?

Flashing custom ROM with TWRP or the wrong version of PhilZ recovery or even an older version of CWM.

Any of these can screw up your device.

I have an i9300 with a blank efs folder. The phone corrupted and was stuck in a boot loop. This happened when battery run out while file sharing was in progress via bluetooth to another android samsung. I flashed it with 4.22 android jelly bean immediately XXUFME3 but it remained stuck on boot loop, I never backedup efs file. Later found the original ROM although it comes up as custom rom, which is i9300XXEMB5_i9300OXAEMB5 but still no luck as it stuck in boot loop. My sister has the same identical phone both were purchased together in Dubai. I did factory reset etc, no luck still in boot loop.

I later gave it to a mobile shop who flashed it with a rom for free, didn't charge me because it came up as imei null/null and baseband unknown. The phone now boots and has Build number of IMM76D.I9300BUALE6 and is german language I believe. I had read some threads by now and I immediately rooted the phone and backed it up, but my efs folder is blank.

Last night I flashed the phone 2 times with i9300xxemb5 rom and rooted it and it still boot looped even factory reset or cache delete don't solve boot loop, Then I restored the working rom of build i9300BUALE6 from CWM and powered phone on and got a baseband of i9300XXEMB5 and Build of i9300BUALE6 also got an imei of 004999xxxxx0000/01 and the phone found the network and my efs folder which had been blank all this time was full of files. In my haste I realized the sim was not plugged in and removed battery, when I restarted with sim, baseband was gone and imei was null/null. I repeated my steps in hopes I could get this fluke opportunity but nothing yet. Was this a miracles I didn't seize by not backing up the efs folder?

My sister's phone is an identical model bought together with mine is,

AP:i9300xxemb5

CP:i9300xxemb5

CSC:i9300oxaemb5

So my question is I need the original stock rom for my sisters phone that won't get stuck in a boot loop on my phone

My phone is now

AP:i9300buale6

CP:unknown

CSC:i9300vfgale6

Also can this be fixed by backing up my sister's efs folder or backing up her phone and flashing it on my phone. I can't get warranty for this phone now since it has binary counter of 12, don't have proof of purchase and also I am not in Dubai but in Africa. What Rom file should I try to flash. Also because this is a custom rom I am not getting samsung serial port in device manager can't use NV writer. Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If you don't have an efs backup then you need a service centre, you cannot repair it. Trying to use another phone's efs folder won't work and is illegal in many countries.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If its a custom rom their is a very small chance that it included backup pf EFS .

Look for EFS tar file on phone .

I say slim chance and judged by the OP probably no chance .

004999xxxxx0000/0 that's just the generic non working IMEI .

Sorry to hijack this thread but I dropped my S3 i9300 on water and have the imei null /null and baseband unknown problem, therefore SIM cards are not recognized. Do you think my problem can be solved by doing something without taking it to samsung service? Meanwhile I ordered a SIM /SD tray replacement but my bet is it won't solve the problem.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
hi from what you explained it seems that right now your phone has no baseband. One thing you can do to possibly recover your imei and network settings is to flash a stock rom that uses mg4 or mg2 baseband. use a rom from sammobile and flash with odin make sure you use a rom with an mg2 or mg4 baseband. good luck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badelhas:
Thanks a lot for the reply. :)

A user from another thread suggested to install the Perseus Kernel first. Do you think that would help?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
A custom kernel has no connection with the lost of IMEI or it's a solution for the recovery of an IMEI. So no, no custom kernels will help you with your problem.

Either try ashraf's suggestion or ultimately bring it to a Samsung service center for repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badelhas:
Thanks for the input, M8. So you think I could try to flash a stock rom that uses mg4 or mg2 baseband?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
You can try but i doubt that it'll restore your IMEI. If that doesn't work then you have no choice other than to bring it to Samsung for repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
I don't know about perseus kernel but I don't think it will help. your imei and efs foder was intact before flashing4.2.2. I understand that the problem began before flashing 4,2,2. but if you ever had a rom that used an mg4 or mg2 modem and then used an older modem your phone would lose its network connection and would probably display a generic imei number. if it says null usually that means it is corrupted or no modem is installed . either way if you send to service center you need to flash a stock rom and reset your flash counter . since some people have recovered their efs and imei by flashing newer modems or firm wares that use them why not try it before sending phone to service center
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badelhas:
Thanks but you didn't read my first post. I did not flash any rom (or even root) before the problem, which started from dropping the phone on water...so I have no warranty left :( This means I can take the phone anyway I want (custom kernel, rooted) to samsung service cause they will charge me anywat.

But I think I will try to flash a rom like the other user sayd because I flashed the Perseus Kernel and the phone is now unstable and reboots randonly...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't care anymore that my original answer was

deemed not acceptable enough and warranted a second opinion. I am once and for all, going to put this nonsense to bed.

If you lost your imei because you submerged your phone in water it is a hardware issue. It is INCONCEIVABLE that flashing a rom, kernel or baseband will restore the imei. A SOFTWARE solution will NOT repair DAMAGED HARDWARE. This is obvious!

If your Blu ray player cannot read disks because the disk tray fell off, upgrading the laser driver wont help. This is exactly the same.

Depending which hardware failed, replacing the tray may help although given the symptoms, it seems much more likely that your radio stack is damaged. Take it somewhere to get it repaired and stop wasting time pretending software will fix your issue. It's IMPOSSIBLE

Hi, SignetSphere

Sorry for hijcking but your sign here says

Device: Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300

ROM: Stock (

XXEMH1

Odexed 4.1.2 Jellybean)

Kernel: Boeffla 3.0

Baseband: I9300

CEEMG2

Recovery: PhilZ Touch 5.11.2

Mods: Jkay Deluxe 14.95 & ViPER4Android Audio Effects

Theme: Dream Themes 1.9 by orangerot

by highlighting i want to emphasise these points (do let me know have i understood correctly)

1) i'm on stock XXEMG5 and yours is MH1 which means yours is ahead of mine and how's it better or it's just region specific???

2)you are on MG2 baseband/modem does that means you also have to be restricted to MG2 baseband/modem only when flashing roms????

thanks in advance.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I see you're still struggling to understand this.

2) If the ROM is MG (M = 2013, G = July) or Newer, the ROM changes EFS format. This means if you flash one of these ROMs without backing up your EFS, you are restricted to using an MG modem or newer as only Modems from July 2013 can read new EFS format. I'm really not sure how I can make this any simpler to understand.

However, if you flash the modem separately from the ROM, EFS is not changed. So for example, if you are on ME7 ROM, you can flash MG2 modem without affecting EFS.

I hope this is clear now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
Dear rootSU,

you've been very patient with me and i really appreciate your efforts at making me understand and i've understood a lot because of you only,but what puzzles me is that

1)this restriction is for those who've not backed up EFS whereas in my case i had in the very beginning only made an EFS backup.

2)and if i flash ME7 ROM then since am coming from MG5 to ME7 my imei would again be corrupt and i'll have to flash MG2 baseband...right??even if i have an EFS backup(EFS PRO won't restore my imei in this case despite a backup)?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
1) if you have altered efs from version 1 to version 2 by flashing an mg* rom or newer, you must use an mg* modem or newer. Mg* modems can read efs v1 and efs v2. Older modems can only read efs v1.

The only way to use an older modem is to restore efs to efs v1 using a backup taken whilst you had efs v1 (ie before flashing an mg* rom that updated to efs v2)

if your efs backup is an efs v1 backup and you still can't use an older modem, well then lets assume your backup is faulty and that you have no efs backup

2) imei is NOT corrupt. It just cannot be read by an older modem (efs v1) because you have efs v2.

If the ME7 rom does not come with a modem, the existing modem from mg5 rom (mg2 modem) will remain and will read imei.

Now, if ME7 does come with a modem, its an efs v1 modem and cannot read efs v2 (which you have).... so you need to flash an efs v2 modem....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
i think i've understood it now and can make others also understand.As a flasher i'll have to:-

1)BACK UP-as much as i can

2)flash a MG5 ROM only

3)in case i flash a rom prior to MG5,i need to check the baseband.

4) i i can't find baseband version then obviously after flashing i'll get to know if my baseband is working or not

5)if not working then i'll flash the MG2 baseband as provided by you.

6) i suppose the roms newer to MG5 eg MH,MI and further to come in future will also have this baseband issue or will they have efs v2(this can't be definitive as roms may/maynot have modems)

thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Regarding 6, it IS definitive. An mg* rom or newer will change to efs v2, whether it contains a modem or not. Otherwise everything else is correct
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] next4nextel:
Thanks for the responses guys but I think I am left with no choice but to break FCC imei regulations and do the ol' switch er oo of the backup with my sis's phone and then use nv writer to correct things. She's 7 hours drive away.

Seeing that I bought 2 of these one for me and another for my sister spent $900 and the fact that my country probably doesn't even care about the FCC regs, I am in Africa. Samsung agent here says it's not their problem, take it to dubai. Also no one here has the zx3 or other boxes which could fix this. Sorry xda doubt I should be saying this.

But I find it pathetic that Samsung would create such a scenario, I hate apple but this never happens with iPhones. Also to the programmers, why not create a way to fix this easily, I know imei cloning is a problem but darn the innocent customer is getting screwed here, not everyone is technical enough to know to save a backup of their efs. It's absolutely pathetic, I have a valid imei, so sad.

I flashed like 4 different Roms and no luck although some of them were customs of the official roms.

My imei is now 0049xxxxxxxxxx and baseband is back to i9300BULE6. Is there a way to make the files stay as they disappear on reboot and I have to mount as R/W on each boot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] next4nextel:
I did, to many shops in fact, but here in my country, Ethiopia, they have absolutely no clue what to do. Is there a specific thing I should tell them to do to the phone to correct it, I seem to know a lot more than them? The last shop I took it to told me to leave it with him for about a week and he'd try to figure it out but who knows what he'd do to it. I have no way of returning to samsung Dubai, so my options are limited.

Also my GT-i9300 is the international unbranded version and doesn't have the Qualcom chip, which I believe is installed on all US variants and other carrier branded phones, so my device cannot be repaired using EFS pro or NV_Writer as it doesn't have the qualcom USB interface. What options am I left with, cause right now I have $400 Galaxy music, game player that can go online via wifi. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
doesn't have the Qualcom chip,

Correct if its an I9300 carrier branded or not .

IMEI repair is by restoring your backed up EFS folder < EFS Pro works on this phone to restore a backup .

You tell the service centre IMEI has corrupted . They may want proof of purchase . Alternative post it to Samsung Dubai

Hi folks,

I gave my phone(Galaxy S3 I9300) to a service center since it was stuck in a boot loop. The guy in service center told that there is some problem with the sensors and the power switch circuit so he changed those sensors and power switch circuit.

Now when i dial *#06# to check the IMEI it shows 'null / null'. I restored the IMEI from the backup but still the same problem.

Sometimes randomly the phone connects to network if i dial *#1234# and at that time the IMEI is shown when dialed *#06#.

Later the network gets disabled. Have restored to stock 4.3 ROM but still the same issue.

Not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Hello!

I just updated my ubuntu to the latest version, 13.04, and I wanted to transfer some files to my Galaxy s2 (i9100). I have had problem earlier which included slow transfer speed and I got 4 dialog screens wanting me to connect both the internal and external Sd-card instead of 2.

When I tried to transfer my files to my external Sd card I got an error message,

Error creating directory: Input/output error

. I thought that it was weird but since I was in a hurry I didn't have time for it. I opened my audio map on the computer but I didn't see any files there. I thought it was just my computer being slow so I disconnected my phone.

When I later tried to listen to music I couldn't find any with Apollo so I opened a file manager and I couldn't see my files there either. I restarted my phone but the music is still not showing. I also found out that also all my pictures are gone from the external Sd-card.

The custom ROM I have is ReVolt 4.3 if that would be to any help.

Have all your files gone? If so it must have got wiped during a faulty mounting procedure, I am guessing you tried to mount the device as a USB storage device, faulty cables or improper connection have been known in my experience to do that that's why I say MTP is always safer because android still has control over the memory,unlike UMS it doesn't un mount the memory when connecting to a host device.

And personally I prefer Linux over any other OS, especially ubuntu linux.

But again there could be some bugs with the latest ubuntu.

Edit: also not to alarm you input/output error usually in linux means a hardware issue related to the external memory connected. But as I said before it could be something else like improper connection or a driver error.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EzZn0:
Well, my photos have been replaced by some files with around 1 bytes in size and their name is similar to eachother.

I used the same cable and usb-port as before. I didn't know that you could use MTP on ubuntu. It seems like you have to install it yourself which I haven't done yet.

The weird thing is that I successfully conncted my external harddrive and it showed up on the computer and I managed to transfer some files to the computer. I didn't get any error message what so ever with the harddrive.

I have had this computer several years now and maybe it's time for an upgrade...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Replaced by small files you say? I think the files might have got corrupted, try running a disk error checking tool on your memory cards something like chkdsk(in Windows) for both your device memory, and didn't you say that you upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04? 13.04 supports MTP by default only in the previous versions were MTP a pain in the ass, we had to install the MTP library and had to install gMTP and it WAS a pain in the ass, but I haven't yet started using Raring to check how much efficient the new feature is, it will surely be polished from 13.10 onwards anyhow.

These kind of pain in the ass limitations force's me to dual boot windows with my Linux distribution(I occasionally change it).
