[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
I'm totally confused then because when I bought my S3 it was locked to Three mobile(and yes it was definitely locked) and I used Galaxy Sim unlock to unlock it I was on 4.1. I now have the new EFS v2 and now switch between roms on a regular basis including 4.3:D I also looked on Galaxy Sim unlock site on Google play and the dev say's it may not work on new updates as well :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
My understanding was based on the number of people who have posted here after updating and found sim lock reinstated with no way to downgrade. It's possible their efs was already damaged and yours isn't.

Nothing seems to unlock efs 2 though, apart from a legit code, heard no success story yet.

from now there is a way for direct unlock EFSv2 Security (needs root)

would changing the ROM to CM or even an older stock ROM help at all. I'm on stock Orange UK 4.3 and GalaxSim Unlock won't work, and I have received codes from Orange and they didn't work either so I'm reluctant to pay for more codes again. If I can somehow get GalaxSim Unlock to work this would be the best method as I've used it before and it works a charm

Hello, I was just wondering if it is possible to go back to EFS v1 with a EFS v1 backup from another phone.

I'm on Android 4.3 with EFS v2 and have no backup from my EFS v1.

But I do have a backup for EFS v1 from another I9300. Could it be possible to use this backup and flash a 4.1 ROM ?, then change IMEI configuration in EFS v1. Then unlock and flash 4.3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No, you cannot restore an efs backup from another phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcwiztech:
Because you have 4.3!!!!

You need to install CWM Recovery then install this zip: http://filecloud.io/82jonx71

(i9300 Only)

Then do what I said in previous post

This will work on 4.1.1 only, both EFS v1 and v2 work
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddlencemc:
Solved

So guys, I did it. Thanks to all!!!

1. For fist run GalaxSim Unlock looks like this

2. Replace EFS folder ( from 4.1.2 befor XXEMG4. I have older version backup EFS). Check Permission. DONT REBOOT DEVICE!!!

And run GSU and looks like this

3. Press Unlock! Reboot with another sim and run GSU

Proffit! Network it work.

samsung GT-I9300 4.3 not registered on network

I think I have some kind of same issue , but the difference is that my phone is never locked . I upgrade it to 4.3 and the phone started to give me an error after every call attempt " Not registered on network" I think the problem is in firmware. It is not my country or mobile operator based .

some info
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: I9300JKUGNB2

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
No this is nothing to do with unlock because you upgraded to 4.3 your efs as changed from efsv1 to efs v2 you probably need the patched modem and kernel files look here >> https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8#list << dont forget to reboot to recovery and factory reset if you get a bootloop after flashing.:) Also look here for more information on this issue >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289 <<

I'll find way how to change them without a doubt , but I need some help please advice me how to figure out what kernel to use from given your's above .Is there any differences between them ? And will it resolve my problem or I can get into more trouble ? thanks in advance ,and sorry for being such noob :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Ok no problem here is a quick guide but please read and understand what you are doing first look here for some guides to help you >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-galaxy-s3-sticky-roll-thread-t2344125 <<

(1) Download Odin and Samsung drivers (please read guides on how to use)

(2) Root your phone ( use CF-Root >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/03-07-2012-cf-root-6-4-supersu-cwm5-5-t1695238 <<

(3) Place the patched files on ext sd card and use cwm to flash the patched modem and kernel ( cwm is included in CF-Root) if not you can download and install it with Odin

(4) Reboot you should then have a signal.

If you get a bootloop in any of the stages above reboot to recovery and factory reset/wipe cache

Please note the above is a quick guide please read all the guides and be sure you understand them before doing anything.:good:

As for which files to flash you can use any patched kernel and modem but I would probably use the Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip and the Patched_XXUGMK6_kernel.zip

Good luck and be careful.:)

So if we don't have an EFS v1 backup it's possible to unlock I9300 for free?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddyb:
I've read every post in this thread, and several others and am like the previous poster, still unclear whether this can be done on an I9300 running Android 4.3? There are regular posts stating that it can't be done, but then others that profess to have a solution involving Odin, CWM and various patches.

Please can someone post a blow by blow instructions of how to do this, including links at the correct versions to use.? I'm not very tech savy, but have installed custom ROM's before, so can do this if its all clearly bulleted out.

From what I understand, even if I pay for a code, it may not work?

I think this is a custom ROM, but very close to stock:

Frequently Asked Firmware Questions:

Q: If I flash a different bootloader will I lose S-OFF or my unlocked status?

A: No, By flashing a different bootloader you will retain your current bootloader status.

Q: The RUU.exe keeps giving me errors, what can I do?

A: Look below the RUU.exe links and you will see a small guide with 3 different files, use that.

Q: What are the advantages to flashing newer firmware?

A: (hboot) Compatibility with future software from HTC.

A: (radio) This could potentially resolve any connection issues, or low signal quality, that your device may have.

I sent u a pm so u can add 2.07 RUU idk if you got the pm or didn't want to add it.

Also I think a mod should sticky this.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
I would feel better posting an actual .exe version rather than whatever that was. I also figured since the 3.06 was released people would rather RUU to the newer RUU anyways. Thanks though, it's been hectic with my new class schedule and work. That's why I didn't respond.
[HTC Droid DNA] cmiz87:
this is probably a dumb question and I'm kind of a total noob to this whole thing. I was wondering, if I flash the HBoot and Radio provided here, will I still have S-Off and root?

I currently have S-Off and have root. I've also installed a custom rom.

When I hold volume down and power here is the information I have (bootloader?)

moonshine S-OFF

having some difficulty

the RUU executable was giving me some difficulty so i decided to use the alternative flashing method

i flashed the first file properly but it told me to flash the same file again and gave me some error(i dont remember)

so i did and it gave the dreaded <waiting for device>

i tried to reboot the phone(had some difficulty) and it returned to the bootloader for a breif second and showed something like"failed to install/update/flash" i didnt see it too well

ive installed this driver: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544146

and ive installed the htc sync app and drivers multiple times too no avail

adb still works just fine so theres hope(i hope) but when i plug in the device in fastboot mode windows tells me that the device failed to start or something(i might be able to post a picture later, the error shows up after being plugged in for a while)

"The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it"

it then tells me to reconnect it and see if that helps...which it does not

the onyl solution i can think of right now if to reflash the stock recovery through a recovery management application(i know theres a few) and then see if i can use the factory reset option in the bootloader(what i was trying to do in the first place)

help please

i will continue scouring the internet for help
