IMEI/Baseband Unknown - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I was flashing a couple of different roms on my s3 mini (GT-I8190L) and I guess I screwed it up and did not make a backup of any sort and now my phone will not recognize my sim and has an unknown imei and baseband. Is it possible to fix this? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Will this work?

Hi guys, i have some questions and hope you could help me.
I bought a galaxy mini a while ago, and of course i was wondering if i could change the rom.Mine is in the picture , hope it helps. It updated a few days ago with samsung keys to 2.3.4. The problem is that it's locked in orange. It has a lot of crap that i dont want or use. The thing is, can i flash it if it's locked?And can you give me a few pointers on how to do that?
Thanks

You can sim unlock your device and then flash the rom --You can pay few buck and get it unlocked online or maybe there are some around your locality--... This way the rom will surely work...
Note: I haven't trying doing either and what you do is at your own risk!!
So this wont work until i sim-unlock it?

[Q] ESF/IMEI Recovery before anything.

Hey guys.
Im new here.
I have a S3 I9305 and i looked in the forum and found this thread about backing up the " ESF/IMEI " thing before doing anything else ( Root, Flash....).
Can someone explain me what are these and WHY should i do this?
Thanks in advance.
EFS folder contains your imei and may be corrupted during flashing. If it is, and you don't have a backup, you won't be able to use your phone's antenna, meaning no calls, sms, data.
yeah glebun is correct. id always recommend backing up your EFS even if not currently changing your rom
EFS does not contain IMEI on the I9305.

IMEI and sim Q&A

I've seen IMEI messages about no emergency calls when upgrading to Jellybean but would their be any problem with changing from one Jellybean romantic to another.
You may have lost your IMEI. Search XDA how to restore it.

I'm fine just bought a Captivate from Swappa with CyanogenMod, but want to put Pac Man Rom on it and was wondering if I would have IMEI trouble or not seeing how it's already on Jellybean.
Lost IMEI during upgrade process is a random occurrence.
OK thanks I'll just make a backup just in case.

If you had no backup of efs folder, there is no way to restore it. Now you have a nice MP4 player running android.

Hmmh... fine then, reflash your phone with four-packaged firmware. That'll solve Camera and Sound problem.
Nah, you aren't a noob, you are a newbie (noob and newbie is totally different).
Thank You again and again

we should not need to backup our imei with htc thanks to htc it's almost impossible to access the imei-partition (it's different from samsung devices, where you need to backup your imei)..
