I went to stock GB from an ICS ROM, and then to Helly Bean. Everything seems to work fine except any kind of networking. I cannot connect to 3G or AT&T's stuff (text messages, calls, etc.). I can connect to my wifi network and use it. In the Settings on my phone, Baseband Version and IMEI are unknown. The only thing in my efs folder in Lost and Found. I have no backups, as I wasn't aware that this problem existed.
Not sure what to do. Right now I'm leaving the SIM card and battery out for a few minutes, and then putting them back in to see if that helps. I'll probably flash a modem as well. Any suggestions? Any known fixes?
edit: Tried the battery removal and modem flashing, neither worked. Now going back to stock.
Edit2: going back to stock did nothing. I tried another SIM card, and that one also does not work.
I went back to stock GB again (third time now) and it's now recognizing my IMEI, but I still can't text or call.
Check your APN. And don't forget to backup that efs folder...just in case.

It's not letting me look at the APN settings because it still doesn't detect a SIM card, only my IMEI.
Anything under Baseband ?? If not try flashin a modem through Odin.

Okay, I was definitely having a legitimate problem earlier, before I flashed to stock. At some point in this repair process, my SIM card ended up in my phone upside-down.... woops.
Thanks for trying to help me 4-2ndtwin.
Ooops...sh** happens lol.
Glad u got it fixed !

This thread most likely has to answer.
Check your APNs to make sure they match your carrier's.
Check your IMEI to make sure it matches the one with your phone. If it's not the case, you'll need to go back to stock KK4, backup your efs folder with a app that has root rights (like ES File Explorer) and restart the falshing process.
A good backup would be suggested before going to stock!
same problem baseband is unknown and imei is null. help
I just flash hellybean from Legend 5. I followed the instructions as directed. But when phone booted i receive an IMEI alert message & i had no mobile network available... Any answers to this? thanx in advance

Nope it did not. But i got it fix. I remember i used a app from market to network unlock it & when it did it save a backup of my efs files. so i just copy it over with root explorer and got the problem fix
Hello evryone,i am in a big trouble...actually i installed cm 9 on my phone and overall it was good but it was unable to register on any network so i decided to change the baseband version to ddjv5 through odin..after completing when i saw my phone's info then baseband version was showing unknown...then i modified the cm 9 zip file with ddjv5 modem and again installed it and this time base band was showing ddjv5...but still it was unable to register on any network so i then tried to flash back to other custom rom but i was unable to flash it..it was saying error in rom,installation aborted...after that i downloaded cm 10 and successfully flashed it...but when i rebooted my phone without sim a message popped up saying..your phone imei number is invalid and it may cause network problem,,but when i start my phone with the sim card..no such message is shown!!!..my phone's imei is 004999010640000..any help why it is unable to register on any network??is that because of the imei??...please help

Yes - it is because of your IMEI - that one is the bad IMEI that sometimes appears when you flash ROMs. Search the forum for IMEI LOST or RECOVER IMEI or similar. I believe the solution is to reflash a stock GingerBread rom through ODIN. Search and you will find a definitive answer.
Ohh OK I will..thnks

Tried this few weeks ago, but no success.
I don´t have the unit in my possession anymore.
But tried all tips and tricks posted around the net. Maybe only with Z3X box, or at Samsung.

Problem not basband?
Hey guys,
I've got a real noob issue with mine.
It came to me with null imei, and using the tools i have i was fairly sure i knew how to fix it and what was required, except the phone wouldnt take any of the box flashes i was trying to flash to it. It wouldnt take the imei_baseband fix at all. It just kept failing.
So, instead of trying 1 file md5 flash i thought i would try a FULL flash. However, apart from the CSC file i didnt know what order the files went in, so, instead of waiting and researching it, i just guessed. As you guessed it, the phone crapped out, and now i get the recovery error and it will only go to download mode.
These are the names of the files i got:
AP_I9305XXUEMKC_2051278_REV00_user_low_ship_tar.md5
BL_I9305XXUEMKC_2051278_REV00_user_low_ship_tar.md5 ( <--- i assumed this was boot file and left it alone)
CP_I9305XXUEMK1_REV06_CL1247969.tar.md5
THe other files were a CSC named file which i knew where it want and a pit file, which again i know where that goes, its just them 3 above....where do tehy need to go in Odin??
I'd really apprecaite your guys time on this.
Best Regards
STICKYS

The problem was not with the efs and you messed up ur phone more further by doing something else with efs
Hello guys and devs
My friend has a s3 GT-I9305 LTE qualcomm base phone.
I don't know what he has done with its phone but the IMEI and baseband version says unknown.
I have tried tools like efs professional pro , nv data backup restore, qualcomm software but none of that worked for me.
the phone is rooted and when I check into efs folder there is nothing except 1 file called ms_code something.
There is no backup of old efs nor any of the nv named file is there in the efs folder.
I also tried to flash diffrent modem, updated the phone to 4.4.4 KK official stock but none of this worked.
now I am downloading official stock of 4.3 JB from sammobile[.]com.
Can anyone please help me by providing GT-I9305 nv data files so that can backup by editing the file by hex editor.
and yaa one think I forget to say that when I dail *#1234# in that phone it says phone and CSC only there is no CP information available. when I dail *#9090# for service menu, its totally blank and no option is available to choose.
I need help from you guys. please help me I need your all help urgently. .... :crying:
Have you teied flashing param.tar?
