Phone recognises IMEI but no mobile connection - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings. Earlier i made a rom flash and phone works perfectly except there's 'mobile network not available' error. I tried everything, did a modem flash, tried to change mobile settings, dug the whole internet, no solution. My last option is you guys.... Gave it to phone service, they said the mainboard needs to change and demanded alot of money. I think they can be manipulative since i believe its not a hard brick.
Please help me:crying:

Mobile network not available errors can, in a lot of cases, be corrected simply by pulling the battery and SIM card for five minutes, replacing both and restarting. If that doesn't work, you could then go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network operators and select "automatically". As a last resort, you could try a factory reset.
If none of these work, your phone service is likely correct in its assessment.

I actually tried all of those and no success :/

Including the factory reset? Then unfortunately, you have a motherboard replacement to look forward to.

Yes i did. Weird thing is i still can't be sure about the problem. I have the baseband, intact IMEI... Everything looks in order except mobile connection. Stock didn't succeed, modems as well.
I wonder if there could be some EFS problems? I mean i have a working s4, if i backup folders from it an apply to broken one, i wonder if it would fix the problem?

[Q] Updated to MKF & Now Unable to Get Mobile Internet

I recently updated to the MKF update on my i9505 BTU. Prior to this my mobile internet was fine. Since the update I am unable to get any mobile internet. All settings are checked to ensure I should be, the APN hasn't been deleted and I've got no idea why this should have changed anything. I'm on the EE mobile network.
Any ideas?

Did you configure the APN settings for your carrier? If not, you can find the menu in...
Settings > Wireless and Networks > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
I am on ATT, so I cannot verify if these work, but I did find these...

Thanks for reply! The problem isn't in the apn or internet conection... Is in all the carrier registration, that means can't call or send sms.
Sometimes the 4G symbol appears and I can navigate in internet but don't allow me to call.

APN settings is all I had. I have an ATT on ATT network, so I do not have too much experience configuring the phone on other carriers.
In the OP, you mentioned "This happens in all the iB4STiD new version of roms in every Kernels." Did it work on his older ROMs or another dev's ROM? If so, I'd suggest flashing one of those to see if it is still working.

Confirmed! I try with every Kernel and the solution is only install the GE 37 or less... can somebody speak to iB4STiD
PM him with ALL your details--
Did you wipe (not format) System/Data/Caches? I do it 3X
If you don't have lte, did you change your preferred data choice to hspa+/3g or whatever choice has no lte in it.
Pull and reinsert your sim--

Yes, yes and yes. I do all, but nothing change. I installed a old version of GE (37, 38, 38.1) doesn't work.
Now I'm trying with GE 30. First I trying SHOstock and seems work.
I got more information for you!
The problem started when I installed a KK 4.4.4 Rom, before this never happened anything and always a custom rom allowed me to call.
PD: ONLY with the stock rom (I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT) and a based 4.4.4 custom rom is installed it can use the phone for call. Not just the internet!
Anybody knows something about that???

You are on mdl firmware. It's android 4.2.2. You could try flashing a new modern. See rockrat's modems in the general forum

No, it'll just flash the modern. Nothing else will change. I'm not sure if it will help you though. It could, modems sometimes work better and other times not. It depends on where you are and what works better in that location. You can always flash back to the mdl modem, i.e. baseband

Check what ver do you have now. You can download the latest firmware from your country on Sammobile then flash again via odin. after flashing try to clear data and cache on recovery. Hope it fixes your problem.

hmmm... im afraid your phone are useless now..
btw, i have read somewhere that there is a way to recover your IMEI but i cant remember where it is.
Try to connect your phone from the KIES program in a mode of emergency restoration of firmware by Model phone type and Serial Number of the phone. This may take several hours. To do this, you need a good internet.

Always do backups!!
You need to go read this . From experience you're going to probably have to repartition your phone, but if you follow the steps, it works. I've done it twice now on a gs4 active and a gs3.
Good luck

I'm researching a couple things i thought of, but the biggest thing i hope you learned is to have a backup of your efs somewhere safe, and anyways do backups before you do any rom changes or mods.

can anyone tell which is safest way to solve this issue,
also please send me links for resetting and flashing stock roms and also the links of tools needed to do this.

Did you try doing a factory reset? If no, maybe you should try doing that before you do any flashing.

i9505 loses wifi connection again and again

Hey guys,
I'm using a i9505 as a media device at home. As opposed to all my other devices this phone loses its connection often every few minutes and also often doenst reconnect itsself. Its super annoying. I cant stream nothing or make a internet call.

Your carrier stopping at HPK2 simply means they didn't bother putting any work into what to them is a minor update. HQK1 will work on your device without a problem.
Hey again, I flashed the latest STOCK I could find on my i9505. But with STOCK i even cant enable wifi. I already did a factory resst but it doenst help.
Should I try flashing any modem? Or what option do I still have?

If you unpack the ROM package I believe you will find a .bin file for the wifi you can flash in Odin.
