Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! An idea might be to ask here: Questions and Answers. There is very little on your particular device here on XDA. There is a thread, however, which might be useful to you: [Q] samsung galaxy a3/a5 . Perhaps try it first.
Good luck!

Hi guys, I have a samsung gt i9300 international bought it last week with android 4.1.1 stock. I upgraded it to 4.3 and then suddenly it could not perform any gsm related action like calling, texting internet etc with a NOT CONNECTED ON NETWORK error message.
I did my homework and found out that
1. the imei beneath the battery is different from the one inside the phone via #*06#
2. I have a generic imei with 00449 etc....
3. I did not backed up the efs folder and ever since I paniced and changed like 10 roms without succeeding.
4. I found out that the solution is to recover my imei
Now I have tried many ways to recover but failed. Is there a way somebody may suggest may be I have not used that one?
Thanks for your time guys I appreciate.

I assume that you have already tried this method: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..
If not, please do so.
If it doesn't help, check this thread: Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Generic IMEI 0049990106400 / 01.
It's about the same issue and has some useful answers.
If nothing helps, please ask the question in the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question. thread.
Best place to get quick help for your device IMO.
Thread closed and thank you.

No, just flashing another (stock) firmware won't SIM unlock your device.
Best is to ask in the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question. thread.
Here is a thread about SIM unlocking your device: Sim card unlock Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 ... but this needs to downgrade the firmware version.
Maybe this tool works in your case: [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V8.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [GSM] ... but SIM unlock is not officially supported AFAIK.
EDIT: Found this "trick" in another device's forum, but some users reported that it also worked on your device: Free UNLOCK N7105.
Maybe worth a try?!
Alternatively you can contact the carrier and ask for a SIM unlock code.
Good luck !

Background: Friend's Galaxy S6 ; SM-G920F ; Android 5.1.1 ; Bricked when failed to root
Hello, I am posting on behalf of a friend who bricked his phone. He accidentally flashed the 5.0.2 CF autoroot when his phone had updated to 5.1.1. Normally, this would be easy to fix by flashing its stock firmware.
However, we have no idea what the country of origin or carrier of the phone are. We only know the model number, SM-G920F, the IMEI, and serial number. I have tried using Samsung's new smart switch to detect the correct firmware, but it did not work. Unfortunately, my friend purchased his S6 from a not-so-trustworthy seller from Indonesia and has not been able to get a hold of them. We only have access to the sticker with its model, serial, and IMEI numbers on the phone's back. Any help or tips will be appreciated. We just want to unbrick his phone. Thanks in advance!
