Because you have 4.3!!!!

You need to install CWM Recovery then install this zip: http://filecloud.io/82jonx71

(i9300 Only)


Then do what I said in previous post

This will work on 4.1.1 only, both EFS v1 and v2 work

And run GSU and looks like this

If you want your IMEI restored then take it to a repair shop on pay them to do it, you can't do it yourself.

So, if unlocking efsv2 is available - why does your program say my phone is in an offline state?

because it's not detected by our tool.. because you did not installed the drivers, because etc etc
ADB did not see your Phone.. EFSv2 is fully supported for unlock

Code:
16:43:48 - Starting ADB Server
16:43:48 - ADB Device: GT-I9300

samsung GT-I9300 4.3 not registered on network

I think I have some kind of same issue , but the difference is that my phone is never locked . I upgrade it to 4.3 and the phone started to give me an error after every call attempt " Not registered on network" I think the problem is in firmware. It is not my country or mobile operator based .
Code:
some info 
Model number: GT-I9300 
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: I9300JKUGNB2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-2224523

Build number 
JSS15J.I9300XXUGMK7
So is there any firmware without country or carrier lock ? my Imei doesn't damaged it is unchanged . and thanks in advance :)

No this is nothing to do with unlock because you upgraded to 4.3 your efs as changed from efsv1 to efs v2 you probably need the patched modem and kernel files look here >> https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8#list << dont forget to reboot to recovery and factory reset if you get a bootloop after flashing.:) Also look here for more information on this issue >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289 <<

    My understanding was based on the number of people who have posted here after updating and found sim lock reinstated with no way to downgrade. It's possible their efs was already damaged and yours isn't.

    Nothing seems to unlock efs 2 though, apart from a legit code, heard no success story yet.

    from now there is a way for direct unlock EFSv2 Security (needs root)
    we're also working on ssnv crypted region unlock (as region locks are now also stored in nv_data in crypted form)

    Code:
    22:59:34 - Starting ADB Server
    22:59:35 - ADB Device: GT-I9300
    22:59:35 - SW Version: I9300XXUGNA8 (Android: 4.3)
    22:59:35 - Phone Serial: RF1CA5Z2W8Y
    22:59:35 - Platform: exynos4
    22:59:35 - Checking SU Root Access..
    22:59:41 - ROOT Access: True (SuperUser) Processing..
    22:59:45 - NVM Readed Clearing Simlocks
    22:59:48 - New Security Detected (EFSv2) Analysing now..
    22:59:51 - HWIDS1 Found: Sending data to server..
    23:00:02 - Received unlocked data from server.. processing now..
    
    23:00:04 - Unlock Done..
    
     -- Operation done in 34 seconds --

    So when will it be available? :fingers-crossed:

    it's available in latest version at www.UnlockSamsungOnline.nl

    keep in mind, phone need to have root access !, unlock efsv2 is permanent

    Ok no problem here is a quick guide but please read and understand what you are doing first look here for some guides to help you >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-galaxy-s3-sticky-roll-thread-t2344125 <<

    (1) Download Odin and Samsung drivers (please read guides on how to use)
    (2) Root your phone ( use CF-Root >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/03-07-2012-cf-root-6-4-supersu-cwm5-5-t1695238 <<
    (3) Place the patched files on ext sd card and use cwm to flash the patched modem and kernel ( cwm is included in CF-Root) if not you can download and install it with Odin
    (4) Reboot you should then have a signal.

    If you get a bootloop in any of the stages above reboot to recovery and factory reset/wipe cache

    Please note the above is a quick guide please read all the guides and be sure you understand them before doing anything.:good:

    As for which files to flash you can use any patched kernel and modem but I would probably use the Patched_XXUGMK6_modem.zip and the Patched_XXUGMK6_kernel.zip

    Good luck and be careful.:)
