Im having the exact same problem... phone continually restarts especially after going to "sleep mode". No network access and google play not working.
The installed ROM's were:
-cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd
-gapps-jb-20120726-signed
I also tried reinstalling these two, but had the same problems.
Has anyone found the solution to this problem?

So, No I have installed 2 more... and both have the same problem, is it my phone? Do I need to format the partitions better? What I have done is:
-Wiped data/factory reset
-Wiped cache partition
-Reset permission
Installed:
-cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd
-cm-9-20120826-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd
-cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd
As well as tried installing the cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd mentioned above, not in all installations though.
I am located in Iceland... dont think that should play a part in it but perhaps I need to change some settings to find the networks?
Hope someone can help me with this... really is too bad not to have my "good phone" any more

Lucky me! I found a backup of my efs folder... what crazy luck! Im guessing that ClockworkMod Recovery auto backed up the efs folder.
But it was just like you said, the "My Android Solutions" pointed me to this thread which listed more than I expected of my problems.
Currently, my efs folder looks empty, but I think its just unmounted. How would I go about restoring the backup efs folder that I have? In "my android solutions", they suggest copy/paste via Root Explorer, followed by reboot and wipe cache, which I did without luck. The efs dir is still empty and probably because it is read only. There must be a simple solution to this since the backup must have been thought for a reason Do you know how I would copy/paste or restore this efs directory?

I figure its best to create a new thread about this, since this one is very old. For those that want to follow that thread, its right here.
Thanks again for your help

[Q] I9305 stay on logo , problem with mount EFS. How to repair it?

Hello everyone
I've got problem with my I9305 lte. I bought it from my friend. It was working fine till my friend try to root phone with software dedicated to i9300. Galaxy right now stay on logo , goes in recovery mode and download mode. In a photo you can see cause of this thread.
I tried to flash oryginal software by Odin. Everything looks fine. Odin doesn't see any error. Galaxy still stay on logo with red error in recovery mode. I don't have backup with EFS folder... If it help i9305 is from vadofone Germany.
Could anyone help me ?

RIP, motherboard replacement is needed now

Does anyone have more positive idea ? Phone is like new , near 2 mounths of use...

Motherboard replacement....
Is that more positive??
And next time, read everything you can before you stuff around with something! Damn, the first thing I did was backup my efs folder :banghead:

I found this. I'll try it tommorow when I'll come back home. : alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/imei/
I was looking for motherboard for i9305 on ebay etc. but there is nothing...

So you have no backup of the efs folder, a phone that won't boot properly, and you obviously didn't read your link properly either.
Good luck, enjoy buying a new phone

I should begin with explaining my problem first.
The phone would not boot,charge or show any signs of life.
I had another S3, so i swapped the battery over and to my surprise it came on.
Luckily i could boot into download mode.
Moving onto how i sorted it.
First i went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33048706&postcount=1
and downloaded, extracted and flashed the Param_Bin_I9305.zip .
I then went here

and flashed all 3 sections (phone/pda/csc)
and hey presto all was sorted.
Hope this helps and if i can be of any more help or i have omitted something please ask

Thanks for the quick reply mate. Will this work on my International GTi9300 do you know? Sorry I should have said that earlier. I've had all previous versions of the Galaxy models and never got a problem like this.
One guy above says a new motherboard is the only option, I left mine in for repair and because the custom binary was at 2 the warranty was Void. So they quoted me €150 just today. I can't afford that at the moment. But after so many searches here on XDA, it seems some people with the same issue as myself have managed to fix it. Thats why i am a bit sceptical, because I have my EFS folder backed up. Maybe it might work.
I should have my phone back on Monday so if you think this will work on mine I will give it a go and let you know?
Really appreciate the help.

Sorry to hear about your problem.
I did this on a I9305 which is very different to the standard I9300.
These files and methods i used are **ONLY FOR THE I9305***
The only reason i had the problem in the first place is that i flashed I9300 software onto a I9305.
Sorry i cant be of any more help but i am sure if you head over to the i9300 q+a section, someone is bound to know what you should do.
PM me with your exact issue and what you messed up on and i will try and see if i can find some helpful info

ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SOLVED] Problem Sim Card: No calls, no sms & no 3g

UPDATE
PROBLEM SOLVED:
Go to this thread for the solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548453
Hi all,
Since yesterday I've been trying to fix my phone.
It doesn't recognize my SIM card anymore.
I think it's my fault and I'll have to go to the Samsung store but I thought someone here might know a solution.
I'm aware that I did something stupid...
So here's the story:
Yesterday I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1, I installed some apps and I noticed that already 4GB of the 7,42GB was used.
The apps only took 2 GB of the 4GB. So I went to the CWM recovery, scrolled down to mounts and storage and removed all the storage...
Then I flashed Cyanogenmod again (because everything was removed, OS included). And now my SIM card isn't working in my device anymore.
It's for sure that my SIM card isn't the problem, because when I put my SIM card in my old phone, it will work.
After flashing I got a message of Vodafone, which says that they will send the right settings for my phone to use their network.
But that message never arrived at my phone.. I also tried to manually set up the right ''settings'', but that didn't work.
I have tried anything I could. I thought maybe it will work if I install stock rom, but again, it didn't work for me.
I still think it's a software problem, but it might also be a hardware problem.
It might be useful for you to know that I live in Holland. (maybe things are working different here, idk)...

try this
try this ....
using root explorer or file explorer or what else,
open file "factorymode" in efs/factoryApp directory, it probabely says "off", change to "on" (yes "on" is the correct setting to turn it off), then save
reboot
good luck

You still got your IMEI?
If official wirmware won't work, then try this one first, and then flash your official firmware.

Hi, thank you for your reply!
Unluckily for me it was already turned ON. (so this isn't the solution).

OK, I'll try this. Thank you for your reply!
I'll come with edit if it was successful or not.
About the IMEI, Yes I have it.
Should I do something with it?
UPDATE (I tried the 1st method):
I went to the thread you linked to called ''[HOW-TO] Enable Three Button Combo [RECOVERY]''.
I don't know exactly what it does.
It enables the ''Three Button Combo'', but I thought I already had this.
I did ''Benzonat0r's way'':
1) I flashed it as PDA
2) After flashing my phone rebooted
3) Nothing changed, still no working calls, sms etc.
Now I think you meant the 2nd method.
Should I do the 2nd method, so I'll get ''a "La'Fleur" branded phone''. ?
Is it safe to flash this Russian ROM?
"I8190 серв. укр.rar" is now downloading.
I'll try this now.. Hopefully it will work.
UPDATE:
I have tried the 2nd method now.
I flashed "I8190 серв. укр.rar". (PIT, PDA and CSC).
After that it didn't boot (which is right, because it's ''La Fleur''.)
So I flashed official firmware (dutch).
After my phone rebooted, I could see immediately that it didn't work
It doesn't show the signal.. and it doesn't have signal.
I'm sure that in my region the signal of Vodafone is OK, because when I put my SIM card in my old phone it works..
I'm sure my SIM Card is fine, it must the software of my phone..
It's my fault, I shouldn't have formatted all in ''mounts and storage'' about 4 days ago...
Another isue is the language which was displayed was Russian...
Normally after I flashed official firmware the language was dutch.
What I'm going to do now is again format all in CWM recovery.
If that doesn't work for me, I'll bring my phone to the Samsung store if no other solutions found..
Anyway, thanks for your help.
If you have any other ideas please tell me.
Thanks in advance!
Greetz, Daniel.

Problem Solved 100%.
Solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548453
The instructions written down below in this thread and post did NOT work!
I solved the problem myself:
I formatted again everything on my phone. (in cwm recovery at 'mounts and storage'.
I flashed stock recovery.
I flashed official firmware.
Done.
No more Russian language issue.
This thread can be closed.
The solution was a lot easier than I thought.
I think a ROM bugged my phone after I formatted all.
So as I said, problem solved.
Thank you for the your replies!

Help Recover IMEI

Hi everybody i need some help
I was installing Lollipop in my S5 Mini (SM-G800H) after a success process, I got the message "Insert Sim Card" and after some research I realize that my IMEI was gone.
I have followed many tutorials but none works, I'm not an expert user and I need help.
I tried the "EFS Professional" program and one "EFS-backup.bat" but none have worked for me. I read something enter the menu "* # 0011 #" but I can not enter the menu to follow the steps of the tutorial.
I really need help I hope that any of you know how to solve the IMEI null.
Maybe someone can upload your EFS folder and use it to get my imei?
I'll be very greatful.
