I updated my Galaxy S3 I9300 to Android 4.3 MK6 and now I'm unable to make phone calls.
I think my efs folder is corrupted because under settings it shows my serial number as "0000000" even though my IMEI is correct.
I don't have a efs folder backup. However when I updated another S3 I9300 I own to the same rom, it all worked well.
To summarize:
  • My IMEI is correct
  • My serial number is 00000
  • It says "emergency calls only" and can not get signal
  • I tried to restore the stock firmware through Odin but nothing changed

How can I fix my problem and get phone signal back?
