I'm guessing that you made no efs backup? Do your phone's cellular functions or wi-fi work while running a custom rom? What kind of GS3 do you own (i9300 or i9305?).

What rom version did you start out with and what rom version did you flash?

You cannot go backwards to 4.1 with out a efs v1 back up. Somewhere in 4.3 samsung updated it to v2.
Without a back up you can only use the latest 4.3 and upwards.

Actually im not sure what I flashed to but im pretty sure it is 4.3 as I just done a basic flash using odin, no backup was needed. Could i get somebody elses efs file backup and restore it?

Going to settings, about phone will tell you the version

No you cannot do that. Read up on that link I sent you.

Hi there, im on 4.3 stock rom. The thread you provided me with says to flash stock rom with odin. The problem is I do not know which stock rom I should flash. Please tell me which one I should flash and if you can provide me with a link.
My s3 model is gt-i9300, uk model and is unlocked.
