ZVB, and ZVC radios seem to be the same. So really it doesn't matter which one you're on. Both work with JB, AOSP, CM.
ZV9 WILL NOT WORK with the above.
I have lousy reception and i just reflash the radio just cuz it makes me feel better. It won't hurt anything to flash them.

I have a quick semi-off topic question. I went from my stock ROM to Nexogen and my data seems to be working fine. But just to make myself feel better, I want to restore my stock EFS. If I restore my EFS from my stock ROM, it won't cause any harm will it?

It shouldn't. But i also don't think it's something you should do unless you have to.
Being that it's very special info to make our phones work, and autoprime has done an awesome job on protecting that info, it's the one thing that can make life he!! if messed up.
So just the usual disclaimer....do it at your own risk.

First, have you updated your profile/prl? If that doesn't work, did you backup your efs? Also, may try reflashing if the profile/prl update doesn't work.

If you successfully updated profile/prl, you may have had efs issues. I don't know enough about them to give advice, so probably be best to wait until morning when all the experienced people jump on. Don't want to send you in the wrong direction.

A reflash would be a simple troubleshoot. As far as doing LGNPST, that could result in needing to do a full wipe, in which you'd lose everything. Did you happen to backup EFS when you unlocked with FreeGee?

I'm new to installing roms on the s3. I've had many different roms on my old Desire so I'm not entirely new to this, just had a few questions.
How easy is it to lose your imei number when flashing a new rom?
Is it dependent on anything specific?
Easy to fix if it does happen?
Anything else I should be worried about before flashing?
I'm looking at testing out cm10.1 and Task's rom as well as a few kernels.
Thanks.

Imei loss is random.
Best thing to do is to back it up. Easier to back up than to inject it back in manually. (Still not overly difficult but always have a backup)
Nothing to really worry about. Just don't flash a ROM not intended for your phone.

I flashed cm10 from the stock rom, then two days later flashed another rom cant rem which one. thats when i lost my Imei. fixed it. then just used my one x. til last week when i got another gs3.. its rooted and and stock right now. guess i just need to back up etc. before flashing just to be sure. etc..

Sounds like it. I have been flashing roms and since my first android, htc hero.. never had a bricked phone or anything etc.. before that win mobile, again never had any issues. as long as you read and pay attention all will be good. I want to flash a rom on this s3 but gotta find the time to back up and such. kinda hard with a wife that's a RN working 12 hour shifts and 3 kids lol..
Yea, same here. I've flashed so many roms and kernels on my old s3. Had no worries ever about changing the partition table sizes and am familiar with adb just haven't found the time to look into all of the s3 stuff yet. I've had the phone since launch but just rooted it for the first time a few days ago.

custom i.e not based on a samsung ROM. It's not common but more common going from custom (aosp, aokp,CM) to any TW type ROM. Just back it up anyway, even though you more than likely will never have to worry about loosing it.

There's a couple of ways.
To get as fresh as possible, LGNPST ZVB. It has recovery built in. And kind of rooted.
The other option, if you have recovery, flash the ZVB stock or deodexed ROMS.

If everything on your phone is as it was when you created your EFS backups, you'll have no problems.

LGNPST is the only other way.
FreeGee's files should be in root of your SD under freegee. If you backed them up to your computer or cloud, just copy it back to root.
The problem was that stupid 0 folder. I moved the files from the 0 folder to the other freegee folder at the root of my storage and voila..."your efs has been restored up"
