[Q] Fake IMEI/not registered on network GT-I9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I've been searching all around about this problem, but I've not found nothing useful. I hope you can help me.
I downgraded my phone flashing a Custom Rom. Unfortunately I did not backup EFS folder before doing that, because only after I got the problem, I saw that it should have been backed up. Now my phone has a fake IMEI (after I managed to fix it. At the beginning was null/null) and I have no carrier service. It says "Not registered on network" every time I try to make a call. Now I upgraded again to the latest firmware, but still fake IMEI and not registered on network. My question is: is there any possibility to restore my original IMEI? If not, can I get registered on network with a fake IMEI? My phone details are:
Samsung Galaxy S4
Model number: GT-I9500
Baseband Version: I9500ZCUCMH1
Kernel Version: 3.4.5-3943544 [email protected] #1
Build number: LRX22C.I9500XXUHOA7
I hope in your help!
Best regards,

IMEI is no longer stored in the EFS folder but in hidden partitions on the device. Restore your Android 4.2.2 stock ROM and see if your IMEI is restored using that, as your baseband didn't change from Android 4.2.2 though the rest of the firmware did.

I think also my baseband changed when I downgraded it for the first time. Baseband was unknown. Then after I upgraded again, it became the one I posted here. I've also searched in samsung-updates site for stock roms but the problem is I cannot find my region stock rom. Is there any problem if I download a stock rom of a different region?
Best regards,
mfo12002

Please post the following information:
1. Model Number
2. Android Version, found by going to Settings > More > About device.
3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing Phone Info from the Play Store and running it.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)
Downloading a ROM from a different region is not a good idea unless the phone is carrier unlocked, so by providing all this information in one post, even if you've already given some of it, will make it easier for me to help.

1. Model Number: GT-I9500
2. Android Version: 5.0.1
3. Firmware Version: AP=I9500XXUHOA7 ; CP=I9500ZCUCMH1 ; CSC=I9500SERHOA7
4. Service Provider: VODAFONE
5. Country: Albania
6. Is the phone rooted: Yes
7. Is a custom ROM installed: I think yes, but I don't know where to find the name.

Try this ROM instead. It's a later version of the one you're currently using. It's unbranded, so you should have no issues with carrier-added bloatware.

It still have the same problem. Not registered on network whenever I try to make a call and the notification "No service. Selected network not available" in the up-left corner.

Unless someone else on the forum has an idea I haven't thought of, have Samsung look at it. The IMEI in your S4 appears to be irretrievably gone.

Ok! I will wait a little bit more if someone else has also an idea of what to do and then, if the problem still persist, I will give it to Samsung.
Thank you anyway for your time!

download lastet rom then flash it or use kies emergeny recovery

@shahram Ali: See post #6 in this thread. I directed him to the latest ROM. He flashed it and had no luck.

Does anyone else have an idea on this problem, please?

[Q] [4.4.2] Sound Not Working

Hi All,
I've just updated my Note 3 (9005) to KitKat 4.4.2.
Since updating everything is working except the sound.
In fact whenever a sound might play the phone hangs for a second.
Im certain ive flashed everything correctly, tried multiple ROM's but nothing fixes it.
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: After double checking, the modem/baseband file doesnt appear to have worked? currently showing MI6, what can i do to update it?
EDIT 2: After looking into it, this may be causing my issues....if anyone has the most up to date baseband for O2 UK then could they please send it?
Sammobile has the latest O2 firmware you can grab it from there.. Have you been able to flash back to 4.3 then?
OK, ive downloaded the latest O2 update.
This is in 1 single file, not the 4 that the KitKat update came in.
Can anyone tell me how to flash just the CP/Modem/Baseband from this one file??
EDIT: Flashed Modem.bin file through ODIN, flash completed successfully, but baseband still stuck at XXUBMI6, please can anyone tell me why this wont update?

It could be that O2 have locked your handset? Only thing I can think of, off the top of my head... you can try the leaked firmware (link in my signature, if needed again) - it has the 4 files. Flash only the Bootloader, then the ROM itself and see. Note of warning, playing with bootloaders is a risky game, and you can brick very easy if it goes wrong.
EDIT: Yes the official XEO is 1 file not 4 files like the leak
Thanks for the speedy reply.
I've tried updating to 4.4 and that's how the sound stopped working?
So my bootloader has already been updated. Don't know how to check though?
Do baseband/modem/cp need to be updated sequentially? e.g. MI6-->MI7 etc.
Thank again for all the help!

The baseband doesn't need updated sequentially no, you can go from MI to MK if you choose. It's probably O2's basband.
Can you dial *#1234# into your keypad and post the results ?

Yup it's O2's baseband, - remind me again, you have root?
From what I can see, O2 are up to MJ in terms of baseband - Sooo we need to find you an up to date baseband to flash (modem basically) - Now modems can be tricky if you get it wrong or get the wrong one. Have a look around and see if we can find you a more up to date one.
You could (not saying you should) unlock your phone and then use the NA2 baseband which I currently use (I am also on O2 but with an unlocked handset) - Not 100% on Sim unlocking so you'd have to have a nose around and see what's what.

Also need to Note, Sound issue may indeed be hardware based, but we will see soon enough.

I thought as much TBH.
I am rooted, i've downloded the latest O2 update and tried to flash the firmware but it didnt take, im still stuck at MI6.
I'll see what i can do re: unlocking the phone.
If you can find a more updated Baseband from O2 i would be eternally grateful!
Thanks,

[Q] How do I know the original PDA , CSC, MODEM?

Hello!
I have a quick question, I was searching around the web but still can't find how to identify the original ROM pre installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I know that my device was made in Canada because is the version SM N900W8. And I had installed a ROM that I downloaded from sammobile.(Information added in the attachment), I upgrade it manually to the Android Version 4.4.3 and didn't save the information of the original one and at this very moment I'm having an issue with the "Android: GPS - Continuous Scanning or Unable to Fix/Lock Location". I tried solutions as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612757 but as far as I know this is related directly with the ROM that I had currently installed. I tried searching with the IMEI on http://www.imei.info/ and http://swappa.com/ but nothing related directly with the original ROM. Probably I'm missing some information regardless with the carrier that was made for, I'm currently located in Bogotá, Colombia.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and check for the 'Original CSC Code' in the CSC INFO section.
If that doesn't help, I will show you another solution.

Thank you so much for the reply. Great application +5 recommended. But it only shows me the information that I currently have installed (Trinidad y Tobago ROM) [Information Attached]- It had pre installed some ROM for a Canadian carrier, but for mistake I didn't save the information of it. What is the alternative method to double check what was the original one?
What you want, definitely can't be seen.
You can only see the version of the current installed rom.
Sent from my N9005
Well, I work for HTC and in the tool that we use here. That is possible, it shows you all the information about the device. Baseband, rom version, date of installation, kernel source, lenght of download OTA. I tried to contact Samsung with out any good response for security policies.

It depends on how you installed the rom. Sometimes the Original CSC remains and can be obtained with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
Ok try another way: install Kies, connect your phone to PC, go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, enter your Model name, then S/N. Kies will show you original firmware information.
Thank you! Question Resolved.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this. That was the information that I was looking for, now I know that my device is not from Canada, it was TELCEL Mexico, by the way is the same variant of the note 3 on Canada. :fingers-crossed::good: Now I hope I can fix the glitch with the GPS. (with the original ROM). I'm hoping now if the SIM unlock will remain if I do the forware upgrade and initialization from Kies.
phone info app
best way to know is install Phone Info App from playstore....it will give you complete details
Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.
Your post is five years after question but more than that it does not apply to Note 3 .

[Q] N9005 "No Service" need help to troubleshoot

Hey All,
I got a Note 3 N9005, which supposedly was purchased in UAE.
Currently trying to use it in India, but, the device always says "No Service", with a crossed circle instead of network signal icon on notification bar.
Phone is on 4.2.2 with UGNH1. Below are some observations:
- Phone does NOT ask for any PIN / Unlock Code.
- In Settings > Status.. irrespective of any SIM, or no SIM.. Mobile Network Type = Unknown, Service State= Out of service, Mobile Network State=Disconnected.
- Orig CSC code is displayed as XTC from Phone Info App
- Tried to select a different CSC from CSC Select app.. it changed the boot logo but, network status.. still crossed circle
- IMEI is proper as printed below the battery
- Still i tried ChainFire's RegionLockAway. But, as expected, the method is only for MI7 / MJ1 / MJ3 JB versions. Sadly mine has already crossed and has A2 bootloader. So, no change was observed with CF RegionLockAway. Reverted the cahnges.
- Tried to flash MJ1 / MJ3 binaries from sammobile. As expected the latest bootloader won't allow to downgrade.
- Flashed Omega, but for no luck. Still no service and crossed circle icon.
- Flashed latest CyanogenMod. Though there was no Crossed Circle icon, there was an icon of network signal with zero network.
- Flashed official Lollipop verson to see if any changes.. no luck. Reverted back.
- Installed advanced network info app, network status, neighboring MSC, cells.. etc was shown as none.
No clue how to enable the device's network capabilities (all else like WiFi and other feature work as usual).
It will be a great help if you can guide me through! Please let me know if any other info is required.
Thanks a lot in advance. !!
Purchased in UAE doesn't necessarily it was a UAE phone. Phone Info Samsung from Play Store can tell you where it is from.
What I would do is...
Download the firmware from Sammobile to suit your phone. One fairly common issue is that Hong Kong or Chinese phones get sold into Europe or other markets and their PIT and other partitions are different. So first thing is to go back to scratch.
If you phone IS from where you think, make sure you have the stock firmware for that location and flash the latest version using Odin and Download mode.
Start Odin - v3.09 is best.
To enter DL mode for anything to do with BL or Modem you MUST turn phone off. It is best to remove the battery and wait a while, then put it in and use the Power On+Vol-Down+Home key to get into DL mode, then [plug phone into PC and wait for Odin to notice it is there.
(if Odin doesn't notice it, get the latest Samsung USB drivers for the phone and install them with phone unplugged, then plug in phone and Windows should give a pop-up)
Click on AP in Odin and navigate to where you saved the firmware - note you DL'd a zip but you need the md5 file so use 7zip to unpack the zip.
Click on the md5 file and wait for it to load into Odin.
* [Auto Reboot] and [F.Reset Time] should be the ONLY things ticked.
Click [Start] and wait.
Let phone restart and set it up with your details. Once done see if you have network.

Thanks Journyman16 for the quickreply.
I installed the "Phone Info Samsung" app as you mentioned and found the phone's CSC code is XTC! (= Philippines (Open Line))!!
Thanks for the hint. I will download the latest firmware from sammobile for n98005 for XTC and check. Will be back with updates in some time.

Update:
Flashed below 3 stock firmwares from sammobile, each time cleared cache and factory wipe.. still the crossed circle is hopelessly adamant and persistent.
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNH1
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNI4
4.3 N9005XXUDMJ7 (failed to flash, i guess due to current bootloader version A3)
I tried with Odin 3.09.3 & 3.10.6 & 3.07 .... same result.
Any suggestions? please share.. I'm ok to soft brick the phone Recovered from boot loop few times
Any further suggestions? Please share.. Shall i give a try with full wipe (/system/ folder wipe) with TWRP ? Or any other thing ?!
Tried a different sim card ??
Checked APN settings .
Checked you have modem/ baseband via settings .

They are old stock ROMs - how sure are you the phone wasn't updated to the new version of BL? I'm not sure if you're on the new version and then try to downgrade it, which version you will see in Phone Info but check it. There's also a phone # code to use that returns the basics for the phone, but I can't recall if you said you get calls or not and I'm heading for bed. Think the code is something like *#12334#* - google for secret smartphone codes.

Hi JJEgan, thanks for your suggestions..
I tried with different SIM, yet no luck.
APN settings.. shows my SIM operator's default settings.
When I search networks Manually.. it searches for a ~10 seconds and returns without any list/error.
Select automatically shows "Automatic registration.." progress continuously for > 5 mins.. i closed manually.

Yea Journyman16, they seem to be still good old of 4.4.2. Latest must be 5.0. On samobile, for XTC i could see only till 4.4.2. Maybe for this phone version, there are no updates? Not sure.
And, yes, sadly BL is updated to A3. Which I could see in Recovery mode's REV line. (if it was A1, I could have flashed MI7 and tried RegionLockAway.. )
*#1234# gives the below info:

Any heads up ?!
/system/csc/GLB/system/csc/customer.xml has a line:
<NbNetworkLock>1</NbNetworkLock>
Which ChainFire's RegionLockAway changes to
<NbNetworkLock>0</NbNetworkLock>.. but as mentioned in it's details, the method is compatible only with MI7, MJ1, MJ3 firmwares and i'm on UGNH1 and unable to downgrade

I'd upgrade rather than try to get around the downgrade issues. What Region do you WANT to have? European ones seem to get early release of upgrades - e.g. many LP ROMs are based around the Polish release.
I don't know enough to interpret logs, but my thought would be to find a non-Philippines version (one of the Europe ones perhaps) and find a PIT file for that one. Then go read up on how to safely flash a new PIT. Then flash your preferred firmware and follow the root process etc.
I started with a HK version of S3 - every time I tried to flash a new ROM it failed and bricked my phone. Eventually I found that the PIT file on most Asian phones was different and I flashed PIT, then stock FW for the region I wanted then re-rooted and flashed the custom ROM.
Read many time, flash once, OK? I do not make bricks, nor need them, so I will not accept them delivered to my door...

There's a Euro PIT on the link at This Post - I checked and the dropbox is still valid. It's 4.4.2 so could be just what you need.
Now you probably want an India ROM but I haven't any links for that 0 there's a thread for India users though I think.
What I think might be happening is that different countries use different frequencies and formats for signal. It might be that India's set up simply doesn't work with the modem you've been using and the India ROM will not set up with the Asian PIT set up etc.
But read up on the process first, OK? The more you know about it the better chance you have to recover from anything going wrong.
Also, I presume from your OP that the phone NEVER worked once you got it? Do you know for a fact it worked prior to that? Maybe you're chasing solutions for a faulty hardware issue?

Hi Journyman16, thanks for the suggestions.. i tried the pit file you referred, but, still no luck. And, if i'm not wrong pit file is all about allocating ROM space for /system & /dbdata and has nothing to deal with the antenna/telephony module, please correct if i'm not right.
About the phone's status yea you're right. It never worked after i received it. But, it was working usually in UAE, as per the info i got. Maybe.. as you suspected.. it might be faulty hardware too.. I don't know.. just exploring the options.. to conclude something..

The only unbranded NH1's seem to be Greece or Netherlands. Netherlands has a 5.0 - maybe DL that and flash in Odin? Greece has a v5.0 but it's branded with (EUR) so I don't know if that's a company or general... I'd go the Netherlands one.
Other than that, I'm not sure - might be time to get the phone checked properly?
Finally.. could trace the root cause.. antenna / receiver chip malfunction. So, it was an hardware issue that had to be replaced at a cost at service center.
Summary: If network icon is crossed circle, its not a good sign !! Thanks

Update to 5.0

Hey guys!
i recently got Galaxy S5 ( screenshot Attached) i got it used, and at the time of buying i didn't know it was rooted. It has Android 4.2.2 when i try to update via System update. It says Operating system on your device has been modified in unauthorisd way....... so i cant seem to update my phone. Is there any way to get the new update Lolipop i try to search by i cant seem to find something related to my baseband G900fzhu1ancd .
so if anybody can guide me in the right direction will highly appreciated. I'm very new to This flashing and Rom stuff, but what i figured is we need to find same Rom that can support our baseband version?? we cannot flash any Rom? Right???
Go to sammobile . com and enter your S5 Model (G900F) into the firmware section, select your region from the drop down, and download that ROM
Instructions for flashing that to your S5 are under the download on that site

What is your S5 Model? You can used even the firmware of other country as long as you have the same model no problem with that. Based on my experienced I am from Philippines and I am using UK which is my original baseband is XTC.

sorry my bad. As far as I know and based on my experience yes as long as same model. I do not know and not so sure about your device but on my device it is possible. Originally a XTC and currently using UK
maybe anybody can comment further thanks for your replies..
Just pick the closest region to you for the G900F if that is your model, if you can't find your own
BTU = United Kingdom
yes my model number is G900F.

A520F missing Baseband & Model Number

Hi,
a few weeks ago I tried to root my Galaxy A5 (A520F).
But I forgot to turn on OEM unlock.
Then I installed Lineage OS (official built) with TWRP.
I never liked Lineage OS, but it was the easiest to install.
I realized that my sim didn't work and when I looked in the settings app, I saw that my Baseband and Model Number was missing.
I installed the stock ROM that I downloaded from SamMobile (A1 Austria / MOB), but it still didn't work.
Then I decided to install HADES ROM (I never heard of it until that day), but it still didn't show up any Baseband or Model Number.
Then I went to a guy that is very famous for repairing phones in our city.
After a week I got my phone back, but even he couldn't repair it.
I tried it again myself but after a few days I gave up and bought a Honor Play.
My question is:
Is it possible to bring back the Baseband and Model Number (without a box)?
If yes, then please let me know I would try everything.
Thank you!
( sorry for my bad english )

Flash RIL fix for your device after flashing a custom rom. Or get the correct stock firmware from sammobile, flash it via odin, and voilla, your baseband and model number will be back If you want more detailed guide, just reply and ask me.
