What you do with your Phone is up to you and i don´t take any responsorbility for any Damages you do/did.
Also i don´t know if this works for other Phones, since the S3 LTE GT-I9305 is diffrent in the Order of Partitions to other phones.


After Hours of Searching and nothing found...

I´ve finally got a fix for the No Sim/ No IMEI Problem.

Short Explanation:
I had to
1. reflash Original Samsung Firmware (Jellybean)
2. root and cwm it
3. then flash cwm 1.6.4.5 or TWRP
4. Flash AOSB (or any other Kitkat ROM)
5. Start
(6. Then it asked for my PIN )
6. Flash GAPPS

Done, now everything works again :good:


Problem Explanation:
I was Flashing AOSB for the First time and my Sim Card didn´t work anymore.
After Hours of Searching i saw a Post where someone said that the IMEI does´t seem to be there anymore.
I looked for it and there Realy was no IMEI.
I tried everything:
IMEI Recovering after Brick
Samsung Tool with Broadcom NV Tool
ADB Recovery of IMEI
but nothing worked.
After 4 Hours i decided i should reflash to stock. (Guarantee)
After Flashing done it didn´t boot, but after reflashing CWM any AOSB(Kitkat Rom) i got my IMEI back again.
Everything working fine since then.

If you are flashing 4.4 KITKAT for the First Time be sure you use the Right CWM or TWRP version !
or it will damage your EFS Folder and infact your IMEI so no Sim Funktion is there anymore!!


I was short before sending it in because i thought i wouldn´t get it to work anymore
( I´m flashing everything :laugh: and had problems like this already since years but this was almost to much )

Hope i could help anyone

I flashed another modem and there was no success, problem was that my efs folder was already there, but the files had wrong values
