Hi.
You need reset EFS,you can use SPT2 Box for reset EFS or other methods,after reset EFS you got a Developer IMEI and the Device will start and you can repair IMEI with a Samsung Box.

flash with odin and pit+pda file and check efs clear
after all this root -IF possible with medusa root i9300.oct
go into recovery mode and via clockworkmod write the ariza.zip file to reestablish efs. after this you´ll get ariza baseband and next step is to repair imei that will be 00400*******.
tap *#7284# activade pda to usb and do the steps via any box you have.
make ater all this a full wipe and poste result, in case nothing happen send me a pm and i can conect to se what´s wrong.
for me worked 100% even after sudenly death rescue.
with this method i´ve rescued more then 20 devices.

regards

It can be with riffbox but you have to solder jtag port and the plugin image right?

Flash this file on PDA slot via Odin..,
then go to recovery mode, and you will not see E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument))
After that you have 0049----- Imei.., the rebuild Imei with box ( Octopus, Z3x., etc )

If still bootloop, do factory reset and wipe cache..,
