It so happened that Samsung’s efs flagships were in such trouble that it’s easy to “lose” efs, but it's hard to recover. Sometimes very much so.

Before you start browsing various firmware (modems), you should take care of the backup of the efs section - this is the only sure and guaranteed (it is worth noting that it is also free) to restore imei and serial number.
All known ways to backup / restore efs are contained in the header of our topic, as well as in the topics on the links.
Carefully read the backup and restore instructions.
Backup in several ways.

Rep: (216)
I come on my street "holiday". Phone daughter. It was used as a tablet for watching cartoons and games. I remarked on it instead of the network crossed circle. At first thought Sim died. Checked, it turned out to Simcoe's all right. I think you need to do a hard reset, because phone packed to capacity with junk and even download multiple times due otstutstviya svododnogo place.
It was Android 4.1.2 (I9300XXEMG4). Made hard reset - did not help. Nakata same service 4 firmware file. Again, no. Then I remembered the IMEI. In the setting of IMEI do not know the serial number is incorrect be a set of letters and numbers. The code * # 06 # - null / null
S3 phones I have 3 pieces and it is on this phone I had no backup efs (((
I began to work on from the instructed by the cap. At some point I flashed file "I9300_Repair_efs.tar.rar" (it seems). What kind of animal is this?
Then freewheeling service Android 4.3 (I9300XXUGOE1). It appeared IMEI 004,999 ....
Octopus imei not correct. He writes that everything is fine, but after a reboot again default imei. Buttons "network recovery" and "efs recovery" is also to no avail. Restore only the serial number.
Kies is not running.
Chimera did not try, because previously wrote that it became useless.
As a result, imei changed using Xposed. The serial number is correct, but is not registered in the network.
Put patched modems and even patched the kernel with the modem. Nothing helps.
How else can restore the network? All the ways of a cap tried.

Specifically, this phone was bought at the sales decline. At the very end of their MTS salon. This is not the seller who sells the "gray" slag. Firmware whole life was 4.1.2. She flew through the air.

Probleiy with recovery was due to the program Octopus 1.6.5. I took two versions of the hats. Both versions of the curves. Write that everything is OK, but after a reboot IMEI again flies to the default.
Working version of Octopus 1.6.5 I threw* VityaPda, . For that he was a special thank you!
This version I first did "the EFS recovery." Then flashed service IMEI and only then flashed home. This version of the same curve, because by changing the program displays an error IMEI "Unknown security, please write firmware from support Write IMEI failed "But upon reboot after changing IMEI on the right.
porcelana @ 22.08.19, 06:43*
If "do not understand", then no better than anything "to roll."

That's just to finally understand specifically again freewheeling service Android 4.3 (I9300XXUGOE1). After flashing the IMEI is not flies. The serial number on the site, but says "not registered in the network."
It is treated the working version of the Octopus program, "Network Recovery" button. there is a network, but there is one feature. When the phone comes loaded with a locked desktop, screen displays "No service" is visible. After a few seconds the network appears and the phone operates normally.
Put Android 7. There is exactly the same glitch. On the other S3 at me like this.

There was one strange question for me. Only on the broken phone in EFS folder no .bak files on S3 all other phones and even on Samsung Note 2, these files are. How do they appear? Maybe when the new thing flies through the air?

Unfortunately no. Both versions will not work. One of them sees the phone, but persistently asks enable debugging via USB, although it is included.

I'm just a little misunderstood you in this piece of text which I quote.
It was his repack that I restored for chyum described the post above, and how to understand you, so I have to work and you do not? Although this is probably a rhetorical question, in any case, tomorrow sravryu files myself and try to recreate the situation test with Imei loss. If I do not get them mixed up there just I do like a quitter laid against both compressed. A second clean. So on the one yelling anti-virus and the other does not. Tomorrow refresh the memory.

After the phone comes from the factory, these files .bak have always EFS folder, and updates they are at that moment or later have nothing to do. In your case, they are gone because in that moment, when you are done EFS recovery:
mamaster199 @ 22.08.19, 22:01*
I first did "the EFS recovery"

This operation overwrites the existing contents of the "sick" (or healthy) EFS folders and files of .bak including, and registers in the default phone (service, engineering) IMEI 004999010640000 / 01. Therefore, after restoring .bak files, EFS was not in your phone .
