n9005 "not registred in network" - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys please help me out...
i got very big problem: i bought phone from hands , with warranty etc. everything were awesome, till i flashed lolipop. when i started to using it , it showed up problems with network, in my city very often i get not signal, and cant registre to network, try again later. I asked in ROM treads noone answered me [its not rom problem i guess]. about 5 days i checked solutions none of roms helped.
i changed sim card, i tought it could be faulty- no
i changed phone number i thought it is faulty- no
i changed carrier , YES it worked, but 3 days later, im registred in network, but signal is very changing, and today i cant register in network[in the same room]
i checked imei *#06# and there were big problem, imei wasnt like on note 3 box , and backcover, it is like 14950000168.... /01 , and i cant find solution, how to get this imei back. i checked with root broswer, efs folder- there is no file .nv_data , or anything that starts with.nv. i checked *#0011#, IMEI BYPASS : PASS from carrier side.
i dont have any backups, nothing. im so afraid that this 300eur phone is only wifi device.:crying:
is there any wait to get back this imei :S ?
guaranteed compensation , if suggested method will work. [PP]
like approvment i can send images of note 3 box/warranty check that its my property, thats not stolen device.
I tryed very much options. If needed some kind of detailed info. just say, ill get it.
hope for good advice.
sry for my english.
Faithfully, Berils.

any idea guys? suggestions?
bump :S

Buddy, I am not sure if I understood you very well.
But you can try to go settings - connections - more networks - mobile networks. Then change the Network name from WCDMA/GSM to WCDMA only.
I have done that & it has worked for me. I have done few more things that helped me to resolve the issue. Please let me know if you need any help.

Go to Root Explorer and enter in the EFS folder - IMEI folder. Do you have a file called mps_code.dat?

the biggest problem is that, that i have knox 0x1 , and i got no imei. i readed my carrier warranty rules: IF IMEI is deleted or changed the will not repair.
fck.... im so exhausted of finding solutions.
ill try to set up lolipop again, and i hope now it will reset all partitions, and will create nv.data file, and other imei stufff.... finger cross.
stay up tune. will report.

"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

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

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...

i9505 can't connect to 3g - mobile data issue

Hi,
I've read dozen of similar threads but no solution so far.
My phone can't connect to 3G at all. The moment I switch to only WCDMA phone drops network completely.
Everything else works without a problem. I've tried other sim cards (same and other network) no difference.
Baseband and IMEI are OK.
I've tried flashing modems, stock firmwares and it's always the same.
Current state:
AP: I9505XXUFNB9
CP: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505OXXUFNB2
Please help, I'm running out of ideas.
1. Make a backup of ur Internal Memory
2. Make a factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Conect it to Kies 3
4. Kies 3 will give u the info you need for know ur correct CSC. This will be btw parenthesis close CSC.
5. Knowing ur CSC, take a look for this firmware in Sammobile.com
6. Download and flash it with ODIN (Dont flash a "Black EDITION" if ur phone isnt it)
7. If this not work, you can get it to repair :highfive:

Did already this before posting. I've read pretty much all threads with similar problems. Thanks anyway.
Any more ideas?
Maybe flash box can help it? At this point I'm really frustrated for not being able to fix this. Had several androids before (s and s2 also) and always managed to repair them. First time for everything For sure I'll take it to repair shop on Monday.

Same problem here. I have a S4 i9505 free of carriers. No 3G signal, only EDGE (2G).
I updated modem, nothing happened, Then updated firmware to the last one, and nothing. The problem is still there.
What can I do?
Last firmware installed: I9505XXUGNI2
When did you start experiencing this? Did you update your firmware and suddenly this happened? I too have the same problem. It started when I did sim unlock. I'm not able to fix it up to now.

In my case it was damaged EFS partition. The only way to repair it was using Box. So I would suggest the same to you. At least you'll save a lot of nerves

HI, thanks for your answer.
What is Box? How do I repair EFS partition?
In my case (actually, my friend's phone), it connects to EDGE and it can call to any destiny. Sometimes, loses signal, but with the new firmware, it appears that works better. But no 3G/H+ signal.
Maybe she can go to the service (SAT) ... and they would repair the EFS??
Thanks for your help.
PS: Sorry for my english. I speak Spanish.
We have the same problem. I already brought my S4 to the official samsung service center. Only thing they did was flash an updated ROM from my carrier. It didn't solve the problem as expected because I've done the same already before taking the phone to them. I also already flashed different modems with no luck. This is getting really frustrating. I wish you luck in your search for a solution. Subscribing to this thread.

Box is device built based on reverse engineering of mobile phones allowing user to perform more advanced service operation (for example EFS repair) on handhelds/cells. It usually comes with special set of cables for specified vendor. Google for example 'z3x box' for an idea. It's cheaper for you to bring the phone to some service shop which has box for Samsung phones. They can settle this in a matter of minutes.
Sorry for the late answer, been very busy lately.
I was digging for like a week or so, because i have the same problem. ( i have 2g / gsm signal, but when i switch to wcdma (or 3g) only, i was getting no signal at all. (the circle with the line in it). My imei is not broken/missing, and from all the forums i've been digging i came to conclussion that there are several possible solutions as i think, but im not too deep into that matter, so im just sharing my thoughts, dont try these if you dont know what are you doing, i say again, im not completely sure if any of those gonna actually work.
1st - EFS Proffesional (along with Qualcomm NV Tools) - which can be found here, in xda. (The program itself has a ****load of options, and i dont have the knowledge to operate with it). Qualcomm NV Tools is a part of EFS Pro.
2nd - the secret code menu - Service Mode ( *#197328640# ) - I wasnt able to enter it at first, so downloaded the Shortcut Master (lite) (free in Play Store) and found it there, launched it with option 0 (launches a code with root priv) and i entered the service mode.) i've explored it, there are a lot of settings there, like backup, restore, rebuild, changing bands and so on and on and on, and somewhere inside it, there MIGHT be a solution inside those. I'd like to hear something more about those options from someone who actually understands them.
Other option is JIFF BOX, which i dont know how actually found, it seems that program requires qualcomm usb drivers for PC, and i think this is something like virtual box or w/e it is, i couldnt run it, didnt have time atm, but this program is given to wake up even completely dead sgs4 somehow, so why not bringing back the 3g?
And the last thing ive found - SRS - (found it in sammobile's forums. Some kind of imei/efs/baseband/etc restorer, reflasher or w/e it is. But this is paid program with free trial for unlocking the screen pattern. )
At last, you/me, can always go for a service with box for samsung phones and pay for reflash/repair. Is this the only solution?
Forgot to tell - im using i9505. simfree, no brands etc....
Can't edit previous post. This is the actual service mode code, don't know what are the prefixes and suffixes, I'm running it with root and shortcut master lite. It seems playing with the settings can help, but we need ppl who can really understand these settings. If you need / want, ill make more screenshots.

I was also able to read IMEI and have used EFS Professional and NV Qualcomm tools but without success. EFS partition was damaged anyway. So yes box is the only solution in a majority of cases.

N9005 can't connect to network / no signal at all

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a network connect but with no effort. When I choose "mobile providers" within settings the phone searches a while automatically but it won't find any carrier to connect with.
The phone is rooted and I tried the following things last week:
- another simcard, same result
- regionlock away.apk
- cyanogen rom 12.1
- another stock rom based on different csc
I attached some screenshots from phone info -samsung-. The IMEI is still valid and I think there's no corrupt efs folder at all.
Can someone help me please?
cheers,
michel

Thank you for responding! I checked IMEI with some free IMEI checker and got the result "clean" every time. But I took only free IMEI checker and I assume that they check it only against US/CDN databases and not europe ones.
Maybe some paid checker can prove it more reliable!?
Does somebody has an idea how to fix this?

I think if you teoretically RESET NV DATA will restore default settings and will work (i used Z3X box). But how about device history ? How did you get it and how this happened... maybe i can help you.

I think you must find a verified working cert and flash that, and if you have z3x please use it. And i think that the imei of your flashed cert files are blacklisted in your country, this is the logical explanation...
Also, try to read QCN from another SM-N910F phone, which works correctly in your region and write it into your device.

Galaxy A5 2017 SM-A520F - root/IMEI problem/question

Hello all,
Ok let me tell you what happened first.
In March I bought said phone on ebay from a guy which seemed a legit person, 150 or so reviews, a lot of stuff sold, positive reviews etc.
For the past 6 month everything worked fine and i used the phone in the UK on EE (phone is locked to EE) without problems.
on Saturday the phone suddenly has been not geting any signal so I did some invetigations and it turns out the guy who sold the phone is on contract with EE with the phone and did an insurance claim as lost or stolen.
So now the phone has been Blacklisted and i cant use it anymore, to make calls etc on any network.
I tried to get Info from |EE, Ebay etc but with no luck.
I did some research and found that i can change the IMEI number to make the phone work again.
So I must say first up that I dont have a clue from rooting or any modyfing stuff with phones apart from the normal ANdroid things.
So I did some research and after misserably failing to root the phone myself, I got a company "one click root" to succesfully got my phone rooted.
Now I tried the options to change the IMEI number but none of them works:
"ok i cant post outside links:
the 2 versions to change IMEI which i found and tried are : with xposed and imeichanger app, and also one where you have to dial a number which opens radio frequenzy and then another number where you can change IMEI number
this does not work because the xposed framework is not compatible with this phone (yet)
this does not work as i dont have signal and the "call" does not go through.
thats the only thing I found and i thought as a last resort I try my luck here if anyone knows of a different way tho change the IMEI number for this phone apart from the 2 options above before i go and spend another 350£ for a new phone (this time from a shop )
thanks in advance

Hi guys,
I have an issue with My SM-A520F. I bought it to a particular and according to the initial network provider, this person stop to pay his subscription.
So, I'm looking for solution to change IMEI for this model. I think the nv_data.bin is encrypted. Perhaps if I change the nv_data.bin(whith the corresponding nv_data.bin.md5) with another which not blocked in my country it will work. So, if someone want to exchange his nv_data.

Hi Xposed and IMEI changer will not help you. If you want I can explain you how to install it on this phone. But the IMEI changed by IMEI changer with xposed framwork is not the IMEI sent to the network provider. The IMEI changed by this app is used to mask your IMEI to the apps that track you by using the IMEI. So it's just a spoof of the IMEI for apps using IMEI and not a really IMEI change.

Backup the EFS with TWRP then delete the EFS folder. The EFS should rebuild and give a default IMEI when the devices reboots or try deleting NV_DATA.bin, NV_DATA.bin.md5, it should get replaced by NV_DATA.BAK.bin if it's any good.
You can also attempt to Format and remount the EFS partition. It works for some devices.
