[Q] i9505 cannot register on network - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] i9505 cannot register on network - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so here's my problem.
I have an I9505 previously with a GE custom ROM and modem version XXUEML2, everything was working fine so far, the only "strange" thing was whenever I reboot the device the Cell Network will take about 3 minutes to reconnect, and I constantly lost the 4g connection which I attributed to problems within my carrier.
So a couple days ago I re-installed my custom ROM (was having problems with the Kernel) and after it boot back I wait to my Cell Network to connect, which never happen. So I went ahead, format everything, re-install the custom ROM and no luck.
I tried everything, updating the Baseband to XXUEML6. Install the Stock ROM (which was locked, but the store where I get it unlocked it by warranty), install another Stock ROM (right now I have the I9505XXUFNC4_I9505PHNFNC1_PHN ROM) and I still cannot get signal).
Did my modem just died, or the "warranty" guys unlock my device in a wrong method. I don't think is a problem with my IMEI 'cause I still have the same as the dive box says.
Hope someone can guide me before I take it back. Thanks.

Yeah, already check that, but the problem is that I cannot even make phone calls.

Well, when I bought the device, it was intended to be unlocked, but for a strange reason my device (only mine 'cause we bought 2 the same day) came carrier locked (MEO from Portugal) So I sent it back to warranty. After a week I get my device back "unlocked" (Same ROM, IMEI) but I notice that it was rooted, which only makes me think that they take it to a third party which unlocked the cellphone with a method that required root. I didn't care, I had signal and 3G,

There use to be possible using this guide, with the old firmwares as far as i know is not possible anymore unless you still have that firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
The other way is by an unlocking code ( you can buy in many places) once is unlock , stays unlock..no matter what you flash
Try something go Settings/connections / More networks/Mobile networks/ network Operator/ choose your carrier and see if it let you register, try others and see what kind of message you get

Already tried to choose my carrier, but sometimes it doesn't even appear, and when it does, connecting to it just throws and error saying "Not Registered On Network".
What I fear is that somehow they unlocked it using the Ariza patch (or other unlock method) which should not be used.
Also after digging some info, that kind of error happens when the device have been IMEI locked, which could be also a possibility given that my SIM works on any other device, but not otherwise. I will have to give a call to support service to discard this theory.

Hi ,
I also feel the same that is the problem , it has not been unlock right.
check with them , let me know what they tell you.

Ok, I have more information, typing on the dial *#0011# to get the Service Mode Menu, it says at the bottom IMEI CERTI: NA. But if y dial *#06# I get my correct IMEI, is something wrong with the EFS folder?

Hi ,
Just cheked mine , it said PASS
For sure something happen when unblocking the phone

Is it possible no signal/cannot making calls after CODE unlock?

Hi PLEASE HELP,
I've done so many Magics simlocks via code. Any problem except the last guy. He says that after unlock he cannot make any calls.( his phone was new he didn't check if he was able to make calls before unlocking procedure). He says no radios, roms etc was flashed before. I instructed him how to restore via nandroid to the orginal firmware/ wipe the phone etc. He says nothing happened still the same issue. Now phone doesn't ask for unlock code so I thing it's nothing wrong with my service - simlock is gone ,it's something with his phone. He also says that he has got an access to the Internet on several roms. But I think that he thinks it's my fault -but I'm sure it's something wrong with his phone! It's impossible to damage the phone trying to unlock via code based on IMEI. What do you think guys ???
ps. i've asked him to try call 112 - and he says it works, but if he dials another numer the phone says "not registered in network" or sth. like that. He says that the same sim card working fine in another phone. He has tried many sim cards and still the same issues...

thanks for help...

"Original thread"
Hello everyone,
Well, back again with the problem that can't find any solution anywhere.
I've opened a thread about fake imei on this site earlier which can find a solution already. Now the imei and the S/N become original one but the phone still can't make any call. I found the thread about a patch that can fix this issue but it works with NOTE2 and S3 only... so, I'm afraid to try that with my S4 GT-I9500 since it's very hard to find a fix for its problem... I don't want another problem for my phone now...
So, the status of the phone is unlock, root, on latest stock firmware(I9500XXUBMG1), Baseband is I9500DXUBMF8,
Software status on phone: Network=Unknown, Mobile Network Type=Edge:2, Service State=Out of service...
When I check with AndroidDump the Telephony said:
IMEI=(my original IMEI)
CallState=IDLE
DataActivity=NONE
DataState=DISCONNECTED
NetworkType=EDGE
PhoneType=GSM
SimState=READY
CellLocation=[16427,50572,-1]
DeviceSoftwareVersion=01
Line1Number= (it's blank)
NetworkCountryIso=th
NetworkOperator=52018
NetworkOperatorName= (it's blank...again)
SimCountryIso=th
SimOperator=52018
SimSerialNumber= (my sim serial number)
SubscriberId=52018961057xxxx (this is my IMSI)
VoiceMailAlphaTag=VOICEMAIL
VoiceMailNumber=1802 (this is the voice mail number of my sim operator)
Now, let's go back a bit for earlier problem of my phone...
It's been stuck on Samsung logo(bootloop) because of EFS folder corrupted(Error mount efs)
Solution: I forced the efs to mount by enter the command in Terminal Emulator on Recovery mode, then the phone reboot normally with wifi connect but fake Imei(004999xxxxxxx) and S/N 00000000000. So, I can't make any call since then but can connect wifi.
After that with the fake Imei and S/N all zero I've finally found a mobile repair shop that can write the original Imei and S/N for me with the SPT Box. So, my phone has the original Imei and S/N now but when I try to make call it said "Not registered on network"
If I choose the network manually(My operator is DTAC) it will be Network(DTAC)unavailable... If set to choose automatically, it looks fine but when I attempt to call it said "Not registered on network" again...
The phone still can connect to WiFi, as usual... but can't make call...like before fix the Imei and S/N
Contacted the operator of my sim already and they said it seems to be the problem of the phone so, I have to contact Samsung... but my phone has no service with Samsung coz it's the phone from another country and it's been root already...
I've tried every way I can(found on this site and other site...) None work...
So... anyone has any idea why my phone can't make any call???... and HOW EXACTLY TO FIX IT???
Thank you again for you time and help...

I have the same issue. Anyone help.
I have checked the IMEI was clear.

i dont know if this helps but i had the same problem ....the exact same problem you are having ,only its that i was having it on the note 2 , also i didnt have the warranty cause of the same reason as yours,so eventually i fixed it after 4 month ,
i first installed the miui rom, then flashed the dmg1 modem on my phone and used the ariza patc, i think it has to be done in the same order cause i had done all three of those before but to no result.maybe you can try this...

This is why you should always back up your EFS folder. If your IMEI ever gets lost you can restore using the EFS backup folder very easily.

You were ABSOLUTELY right. I had done NOTHING wrong, my IMEI had been blacklisted by a weird mistake of a mobile company.
I'll explain my jourey, in the hopes that it can help somebody, since, I HAVE A SOLUTION for every single case of this issue.
1) When I got my gt-i9500, of course I rooted it, then i proceeed to flash PAC-ROM on it, but I had to go back to Stock (Arrow Modified Version) since PAC-ROM is FULL of glitches ans bugs.
2) After a week of being using ARROW, i got the "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" problem. Not instantly, no, AFTER A WEEK OF USING AS MY DEFAULT ROM. I got really scared, since I DIDN'T MAKE A BACKUP OF MY EFS FOLDER, and when I review my IMEI, it wasn't even the 00049... generic one, it was null/null. So i shat my pants, thinking I had ruined my S4 for good. But I started reading. First i had to get my IMEI back to its original form, and then work around the network issue (THAT'S THE ORDER, ACTUALLY)
3) So I downloaded a whole bunch of modems and tried one after one, with no success, some of them put the generic IMEI on my phone, some of them got my IMEI back to null/null. I was worried and drinking industrial quantities of wine at this point. So i went for the obvious but way more boring solution. I TRIED FLASHING STOCK ROMS on my S4. I live in Perú, so I only have 2 choices to do this, and actually my carrier stock rom is not even listed on SamMobile.com (I'm on Nextel Peruvian 3G network). The 2 choices i tried, neither got my signal or my IMEI BACK. I started going desperate, but keept on reading.
4) Tried the MTK Droid Tools to recover my IMEI. I had never even used The ADB android interface before, but learned rather quickly. Got my S4 connected, shell rooted, and still couldn't change my IMEI; since MTK Droid Tools (and please trust me on this one) ONLY WORKS FOR THE CHINESSE/KOREAN VERSIONS OF THE S4. So don't even bother, you might learn ALOT about the android ADB interface, but won't fix your IMEI.
5) Finally I started downloading a bunch of Stock roms in order to get my IMEI fixed automaticaly by flashing them through ODIN. And the I stumble upon THIS ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396 WHICH SEEMED like a divine answer from heaven since, just by flashing it, got me back my ORIGINAL IMEI.
6) At this point i had discovered that INDEED the MODEM: I9500UBUBMG9 does get your IMEI back to its original state. (That's your answer). SO, I was in a Stock rom, with my original IMEI, bu had NO FREAKING SIGNAL WHAT SO EVER. STILL HAD THE "Not registered on network" FREAKING problem. So I, finally, gave up, came here, and got the answer that It might had to do with my IMEI being blacklisted. I refused to believe so, since there are this stories on the internet, that you can actually screw your EFS folder by installing a custom AOKP rom without backing it up, and that there's this "RF CAL" file that only samsung knows how to fix and once it's corrupted, you won't be able to connect to any network, ever. BUT HERE'S THE THING, THAT story IS A LIE.
7) I went to NEXTEL (My carrrier) support (They sold me the phone) today, and YES, OMG YES, my IMEI had been blacklisted, AND HERE'S THE CATCH: ANYONE (At least that can happen in my country) ANYONE, can call your mobile operator, reporting your phone has been stolen, and the op will block NOT ONLY YOUR NUMBER, but your freakining IMEI, blacklisting it, and making it IMPOSIBLE for you to get connected on ANY network.
SO Here is my conclussion to this WEIRD case:
1) If you have the NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK and you have the WRONG IMEI issue (Meaning, your IMEI is the generic: 00049... or Null/Null) , flash via ODIN, THIS STOCK ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396, just... flash it, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE READ THAT YOU JUST NEED THE MODEM, I garantee that if you flash this stock rom, your IMEI will go back to its original state.
2) If your S4 is on an Stock Rom, and you have your original IMEI; and you still can't connect to your network, It means your original imei has been blacklisted, and you NEED to talk to sammy or your carrier to fix this, or contact someone who can undo this situation.
That's it. I hope that my journey helps someone that is trying to get this "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" issue solved, as I've been trying to for the entire weekend. Just... don't give up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif

You were ABSOLUTELY right. I had done NOTHING wrong, my IMEI had been blacklisted by a weird mistake of a mobile company.
I'll explain my jourey, in the hopes that it can help somebody, since, I HAVE A SOLUTION for every single case of this issue.
1) When I got my gt-i9500, of course I rooted it, then i proceeed to flash PAC-ROM on it, but I had to go back to Stock (Arrow Modified Version) since PAC-ROM is FULL of glitches ans bugs.
2) After a week of being using ARROW, i got the "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" problem. Not instantly, no, AFTER A WEEK OF USING AS MY DEFAULT ROM. I got really scared, since I DIDN'T MAKE A BACKUP OF MY EFS FOLDER, and when I review my IMEI, it wasn't even the 00049... generic one, it was null/null. So i shat my pants, thinking I had ruined my S4 for good. But I started reading. First i had to get my IMEI back to its original form, and then work around the network issue (THAT'S THE ORDER, ACTUALLY)
3) So I downloaded a whole bunch of modems and tried one after one, with no success, some of them put the generic IMEI on my phone, some of them got my IMEI back to null/null. I was worried and drinking industrial quantities of wine at this point. So i went for the obvious but way more boring solution. I TRIED FLASHING STOCK ROMS on my S4. I live in Perú, so I only have 2 choices to do this, and actually my carrier stock rom is not even listed on SamMobile.com (I'm on Nextel Peruvian 3G network). The 2 choices i tried, neither got my signal or my IMEI BACK. I started going desperate, but keept on reading.
4) Tried the MTK Droid Tools to recover my IMEI. I had never even used The ADB android interface before, but learned rather quickly. Got my S4 connected, shell rooted, and still couldn't change my IMEI; since MTK Droid Tools (and please trust me on this one) ONLY WORKS FOR THE CHINESSE/KOREAN VERSIONS OF THE S4. So don't even bother, you might learn ALOT about the android ADB interface, but won't fix your IMEI.
5) Finally I started downloading a bunch of Stock roms in order to get my IMEI fixed automaticaly by flashing them through ODIN. And the I stumble upon THIS ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396 WHICH SEEMED like a divine answer from heaven since, just by flashing it, got me back my ORIGINAL IMEI.
6) At this point i had discovered that INDEED the MODEM: I9500UBUBMG9 does get your IMEI back to its original state. (That's your answer). SO, I was in a Stock rom, with my original IMEI, bu had NO FREAKING SIGNAL WHAT SO EVER. STILL HAD THE "Not registered on network" FREAKING problem. So I, finally, gave up, came here, and got the answer that It might had to do with my IMEI being blacklisted.

it's so amazing that the mobile company staff have so much power, isn't it? I thought the report process should be a bit more formal, with a note from the policeman or something. Otherwise it's so easy to get fxxked up for doing nothing...

Looking for help with my U8800

Hello.
I'm really lost with my phone at the moment. I've tried to upgrade to several custom ROMs, but somehow there's always a thing that isn't working. I've followed the guides on this forum, but it looks like I got lost somewhere in the process and I did something wrong, since there are hundreds of topics and loads of information everywhere.
So, I'd really appreciate it if someone can tell me EXACTLY what to do to get my phone to a stable custom ROM (pref CM, but Aurora looks nice as well) from my current phone's condition.
Here are two screenshots from my phone's Settings-About phone menu.
h ttp://imgur.com/s6btpq6
h ttp://imgur.com/PJQBWRW
The current situation is, that my wifi is not working at all when I enter my simcard, then there's random reboots, it kind of works stable only if I have it plugged in pc(charging), etc.
My current ClockworkMod Recovery version is v6.0.3.3
If possible please add links to stuff that I should work on, Step by step!
Edit: Forgot to mention that I also get the "SIM network unlock PIN" message after I enter SIM PIN. sigh*
Thank you.

Looks like you are currenty using TMC by forumber2. I instelled and removed it because I found Aurora SP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295318), which is stable and has a goood battery backup. You can try that.
As long as SIM lock is concerned you can use DFS (http://cdmatool.com/) to unlock the SIM.
I guess you are using the carrier locked phone.
Good luck.

Okay, thanks for the first reply. I'll try to install this ROM, but does that mean that I have to install some official Android version first? It doesn't say anything in that topic, but for some ROMs it's mentioned, and usualy the added links are broken, etc.
And about the SIM lock, I don't know if it was a misunderstanding, or I'm missing something from that website. My SIM isn't locked, but it looks like that my Network adapter is, or however should i call this, I don't have the phone with me atm to exactly describe it, but still. I get the message that i should enter a PIN for my network something, not for SIM unlock.
Is this resolved with installing a new ROM, or do I still need to do something else about it?

Please clarify

I don't think so. I installed it over Lewa ROM. It installs its own kernel, so there is no such dependency.
Just take the backup using recovery to be on safe side.

Did you purchase the phone from specific service provider?
Does it ask for pin when you try to insert another SIM card?
Did you manually set some PIN/PUK code?

Yes I did purchase my phone from a service provider. I didn't have a chance to try another SIM card, but, I've installed a 2.3.5 android version now, and the system is stable, at least I'm fine with that, but the WIFI and bluetooth aren't working. For wireless it says Error when I try to enable it, and bluetooth simply isn't enabling, without giving me any errors.
And no I did not change any PIN/PUK code settings.
At least the phone is working now, but I really have to get the WIFI working, any ideas?
"kernel" - 2.6.35.7-perf

I guess this localhost thing has something to do with it? But I've no idea about those things, on phones at least.

your emei is correct?
if you have used custom partitions you could have lost your emei.
go to defenitions and see if your emei is correct.
and have you tried to install an official rom again and see if everything is working?

I've checked the IMEI, it's the same as on the back of my phone. It also says "Wi-Fi MAC address / Bluetooth address - Unavailable".
I'll try to install fresh rom later today again. Should I install the same version as I did the last time (2.3.5), or some other one?

i have one nexus 4 purchased from Ebay. it has
4.4.2 OS STOCK,
base band M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.97
KERNEL 3.4.0-perf-g2cae413 WED nov 20 14:54:28 PST 2013

it has unlocked bootloader, rooted, twrp installed.
it is able to show me IMEI number in about phone and as well as on dialer *#06#
now the problem is, when i insert sim card, it show me no service and no signal in status bar.
so not able to use phone.
kindly help me

Flash the latest factory image.
My N7's baseband version is M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.98, so I think you have the 4.3 baseband which is incompatible with the 4.4 roms, that's why you don't get service.

Best solution is try some another "micro sim".
DONT cut it but bring it from your service provider.

From what I know I believe the sim cards can have hardware within 1/16th of an inch from the side, or it might have been 1/8th but yes dont cut the card, um I know it sucks but back up what you can with something like titanium backup, then try undoing what could be the cause, so flash stock rom. With titanium backup you just hit backup/restore then the checkmark in the top right then scroll way down and hit restore apps/missing apps+sys data... if it fixes the problem then great but put a copy of the backup on your computer in case the extsdcard gets wiped too for some reason or in case you have to send it in

Ill ponder for a while and see if I can brainstorm a solution, ill ask around a bit and see what I come up with,
If your worried about your warranty and your carrier won't help you, I suggest going to best buy and letting the Samsung guys take a crack at it, they have the proper software to find the problem.

OK when you first got the phone was the sim working?
Is it a carrier specific device?
If yes are you using a sim card from that carrier?
Is the phone unlocked or factory unlocked or is it locked?
Was there any thing you did such as flashing custom roms?
I think it may have a bad Imei but I'm still trying to figure that out

dont know if you ever got your issue fixed or not, i had a similar problem the other day on my galaxy s4 i337
i was able to make phone calls and recieve text messages but i could not access the internet through the network, my carrier actually did something that helped but didnt fix it... the technical support team had me turn off the phone and then they erased me from the network, so when i turned the phone back on the phone rebuilt the network through the sim card and for some reason i have better reception now...
i still could not connect to the internet via wifi or mobile network so i factory wiped and installed the stock firmware.
do you have somewhere to go where they can "officially" flash the stock firmware? here in the usa i can take my phone to BestBuy, a large electronics dealer, and they have a samsung area that the people have the tools to do so.
maybe your network carrier can help you, maybe its not a phone issue but rather a network provider issue.

It's a little bit strange but you can try to use an adhesive tape on the side of sim card to prevent a short circuit between contacts and the sim card's metalic tray.
It worked for me.

[Q] Sim card problem

Hello,
I bought my Note 3 mobile and decided to flash C-Rom!
At the morning of one day I flashed the rom successfully. Later I installed all apps I wanted. I have my phone rebooted a lot of times with no problem. Some time at the afternoon of the same day I pick up the phone to stare at it! I activated the LTE option and deactivate it again. This was not the first time of doing it! After that the network signal was missing! I rebooted the phone, but it doesn't ask me for a PIN any more. I used my sim at another phone and it asked for a PIN. I used another SIM at my phone but it didn't ask for a PIN.
After dialing *#06# at Dialer a popup dialog shows up. The title of this dialog is MEID and the content is B0000000!
At settings>About phone>Status> the MEID is full of zeroes but the IMEI seems OK.
At the same screen i see the following:
Network - Searcing for Service
Mobile network type - Unknown
Mobile netwok state - Disconected
Service state - Out of service
My phone number - Unknown
MIN - Unknown
PRL version - Uknown
ICCID - Unknown
Thanks everyone in advance

Very strange.... without doing anything like flashing stock or modem?????

The reason is unknown but it seems like your phone lost a valid IMEI/baseband.
Can you check the Baseband version?
Try to flash the stock firmware, or flash the baseband for your device.

The problem suddenly appeared and that's what makes me feel uncomfortable. The baseband number is N9005XXUENC2. I will try to flash whole firmware, but does anyone know how can I flash only the baseband? I don't want to stay with the original ROM!

Finally I was able to solve the problem. It is a problem with C-Rom and 4g option. I am going to write a new reply by tomorrow and also to the forum. I appreciate the help guys.
Thanks a lot

The problem is with the LTE activation/deactivation.
I am from Greece with COSMOTE provider. Here, in Greece, at the moment we have to pay an extra fee to the provider in order to have the option of using 4g. The steps as I believe are the following:
1). I am not paying this fee at the moment so I am not able to use 4g.
2). I activate 4g and immediately I deactivated it. I did not want to open it, just touching the selection at the notifications. This option is at the notifications when you slide down the notification bar using 2 fingers.
3). Then the signal goes off and I had to re-flash stock rom once again before flashing the custom rom. The problem has to do only with the signal and everything else works as charm in the C-ROM.
The C-ROM version which has this problem is this C-RoM-KK-v7.1-20140622-hlte.zip
