No IMEI no backup.

Hi everyone,
I recently got a i9000 that was on icm via devils kernel. I did a factory reset on the device and think this corrupted the EFS folder as i was given the generic IMEI and had no signal. I flashed back to a stock GB 2.3.5 and managed to get my own IMEI back on the phone. I still however have no signal so wondered what to do next?
Thanks

Radio, it is modem.tar.md5?
 @sxizofrano open firmware with WINRAR, and you will find it there. If you want to flash just it, remove md5 extension and remove all other files. Flash just that. But I think that will not solve the problem. Because you flash it with whole firmware...

There is list of JB fws for our phone. Look you yours. I think you can flash whole, not just radio. It will be the same, because it is in there anyway.

No problem if your phone is rooted. I instaled Russian version, but I live in Serbia, and I had bule2 version of GB that is from Great Britain I think. So just use any from your region. Like any from Europe, if you are from that region.

Flashed Germany 4.3 Stuck on Samsung Screen

Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance

You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

I have already seen that Message in Tiny Writing. What does that mean if i get that and how do you remove sboot.bin and TZ.bin
Do i remove them from the Stock 4.1.2 or the Germany 4.3?
My head is well and truely done in. I was up till 5am trying to fix it and then when i woke i went straight back to it and i still havn't got it working.

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

What if i download the Germany Version again and try flashing. I thought it would of worked? I am now in this situation surely the Country it comes from wouldn't make a difference? Could someone take the Germany 4.3 and make it a Working Version .tar file to flash with Odin3?

Hello Guys i have Fantastic News!!
I have no idea what i did different, However i have reflashed the German 4.3 on my GT-I9305 and this time to my Total Surprise it worked!!
I wish i could say what i did and it worked but i have absolutely no idea what was done differently.
Thanks all for your Help.
I will say i installed the drivers manually and just on the off chance i flashed it again with the file i downloaded last Night. I also flashed a recover trying to get it to load a recover so i could flash a zip file.

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.

You have to do flash these things before you flash a custom ROM. Go back to stock ROM and restore your backed up folders to avoid a corrupt modemfs or efs folder or maybe a soft brick.
Note : be careful if you do something with your EFS folder. You need this folder for calling, receive SMS, internet, WiFi, Bluetooth, IMEI and serial number.
