Hi the good people of XDA,
After sleuthing online about this problem for the last 3 weeks I'm left with no choice but to explain my situation and beg for help.
Last month I bought a trusty good ol' S3 Intl GT-I9300 in Pebble Blue off my neighbour prior to the death of my micro USB port on my Xperia Z1C, rendering it useless meaning I had to buy this hunk of junk!
Anyhow,
After getting used to it (having owned a few in the past) I became rather bored of the 4.3 update and it was becoming slow and sluggish, so I though why not back down to 4.0.4? So I did and I get "0049 IMEI & Not Registered On Network Errors", One of my old S3's did this a few yonks ago so I flashed it back up to 4.3 and booyah my IMEI came back, unfortunately, for this time, it didn't go as planned. I've tried bloomin' everything, from re-flashing a myriad of .tar files in Odin from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 heck the obvious one 4.3 and to no avail, nada, nothing. Even tried to flash modem packages but still nothing.
I sure hope somebody out there can help me, my missus is fed up of me moaning and hearing the clickty clack on the keyboard till' 4AM, I'm losing my sanity as well as my hair too!
My first post & plea in desparation, please don't be harsh!
