Guys,

Just screw up my efs, without any backup.

Anywhere I can send for repair? The phone already passed warranty period, so i suppose normal or samsung shop will be the same.
*
That's too bad bro.
Backup efs on S3 is very easy by using KTool. Just one click and all done. hmm.gif
Anyway...you can give one last try on flashing stock firmware and see if it help..tho i doubt it.
If cannot..better bring it to service centre as the price not too much different with normal phone shop.

At this time, if you still have an S3 (from 1st batch) and are itchy for an upgrade, I think no point sell or trade in. Just keep as spare phone or do a hand-me-down  tongue.gif
*
But if you have a phone that warranty nearly lapse and have problem with motherboard...better sell now and buy a new one instead of waiting the mobo to die.
Later warranty finished...need to pay RM600 for new mobo.
Better sell and get the whole new spanking phone with one full year of warranty hmm.gif

what modem you guys recommend? heard some will change the efs format..

Make sure you make an efs backup.
That way your phone no need to get JTag or change new Mobo if lost imei.

Anybody experiencing issue with widgets not working properly after rooting?
Such as stock digital clock on home screen not refreshing?
And also Whatsapp notification not working. I had to manually open Whatsapp to find out got new msg received few hours ago.
*
Rooting with CF auto root or framaroot wont touch any app or widgets.
Rooting by flashing a pre-rooted custom or kernel might effect some of the apps hmm.gif

Instal Root Checker app and see if your phone rooted or not.
If rooted...try use SGS CSC flasher to change your CSC.

If not rooted..try flash latest full stock M'sian firmware via Odin.
If you lost your imei or data connection..then flash that EMG4 modem.

when i use "Root Checker Basic" apps, the results is : "This device does not have proper root access"

after i flash back to M'sian firmware via Odin 3.09 the IMEI change to 0049 and still emergency call only sweat.gif
*
Have you try flash EMG4 modem..?
Then go into recovery mode..wipe data and cache.
See if you get back your imei..

If still no imei and data network...reflash again the full M'sian firmware and I'm afraid you need to bring your phone to service centre. There..they will properly reflash the correct way.
