Emergency calls only stock 4.4.2 ROM - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some help on my Grand 2. The other day, I had flashed a view ROM's from the Original Development section, and succeed in getting them to work. After a while (my bad for not noticing earlier), I saw that my card seems like it wasn't registered to network (Emergency calls only). Assuming that I did something wrong, I flashed latest 4.4.2 stock using Odin, and noticed that on stock, only Sim 1 is working. After trying out a few stock 4.4.2, and some other ROM, now both sim cards aren't working.
I checked IMEI, and both IMEI are still readable, so I don't think it's EFS issue. And I have also tried to flash modem.bin but it still isn't working. Using Odin to repartition and flash stock also doesn't work.
Does someone here have some experience on this and could point me to the right direction?

[Q] Samsung Note 3 N9005 NO SIM Inserted

When I upgrade my Samsung N9005 (European version) to Android 4.4, it does not detect any of my sim cards. I have tried this on three phones I have and am now sure there is a porblem with the firmware not my sim card. I am on China Unicom. I have also tried to insert a sim from a different country, it does not even ask for the pin since to it nothing is inserted. I have tried different region firmwares from HongKong, United Kingdom and Unknown. Please help.
Anyone?

Be patient. You are not special that you should get immediate answers on your topics.
Thought about possible hardware failure? It could go under warranty as well.

Its not a hardware failure. I have three phones which I got after exchanging so this is six in total that have this issue. I also cannot downgrade back to 4.3 which is what I would prefer as for now.
What version of 4.4.2 you have? I need the build number.
I would recommend reflashing firmware, might eliminate those bugs.

I have tried 4.4.2 N9005XXUEND3_N9005OXAEND1_BTU and UK firmware N9005XXUEND3-N9005OXAEND1.
Just to add some detail, my phose Baseband is unknown and when I try to check the IMEI I cannot since it interpretes it as a phone call "Mobile Network not available"
Look around the forum, there are solutions for that. Apparently something went wrong when you updated firmware.

Try re-flashing the entire firmware, or extract only modem files and flash it manually. See the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52948152&postcount=13

I'm experiencing the same issue. Flashed a new Temasek CM11 nightly and after booting into the rom for the first time no PIN unlock dialogue appeared. The phone is stuck at "searching for service". My IMEI number is still there and both SIM cards I have tried work perfectly in my iPhone.
I'm still on JB 4.3 bootloader with CMW recovery 6.0.4.5 and baseband is N9005XXUBMI6. Is it possible something got messed up when flashing latest CM? Perhaps baseband/modem firmware outdated?
I'm downloading N9905XXUEND3 and will flash back completely to stock. Will report back here later.

Sorry I've never tried CM so I'm not sure what happens.
Please feedback.

I have managed to solve the problem.
1. First back up EFS and FSG in case you haven't done that yet. On the N9005 your IMEI information is stored in FSG so do not use any tools that only backup the EFS without the FSG. For tools check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611903
2. Flash stock image for N9005. I was still on JB 4.3 with the unlocked bootloader so I flashed JB 4.3 again, didn't bother with KK 4.4 which will lock the bootloader after flashing.
3. Booting back into stock and the SIM PIN entry menu appeared straight away.
4. Flash CWM recovery appropriate to your bootloader 4.3 or 4.4
5. Flash CM
6. SIM PIN entry and cellular works perfectly again
conclusion:
I'm not sure why this happened. Downgrading to a previous CM build did not solve the issue. So I'm reluctant to blame CM itself. Perhaps the recovery was the culprit. Somewhere something must have been corrupted during a flash. Luckily nothing that couldn't be fixed by flashing stock.

[Q] i9505 Connection issues after flashing Phoenix rom

Hi all,
I have recently flashed my phone with Phoenix rom v9.0 upgrading from an older version omega rom. The installer went through without an issue but when it boots up it won't connect to the mobile network(vodafone australia). If I go to settings>more networks>Mobile networks>Network operators it searches and connects to vodafone and will work until the screen turns of then it disconnects.
In the install instructions it says if you lose connection when screen is off flash with latest kitkat modem. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
And flashed via Odin modem XXUGNF1. And still get the same issue. Please help!!
It's usually because you are on the old bootloader and are using a incorrect modem. If you are on the old bootloader you need a specific modem to work with Android 4.4.2. Im not sure which one though. You have to search for it.
Thanks will search for correct modem... If no such luck would just flashing the new bootloader fix this issue. Is losing the ability to downgrade the only dissadvantage to doing so?
I have flashed heaps of modems and still keeps cutting out on screen off. I have also tried to find a csc file for my country and carrier and no luck. Thinking of just jumping in and flashing the newest bootloader and modem to see if that fixes the problem. Is voiding the warranty the only issue with knox or will it stop me from flashing new custom Roms down the track?

Out of Service Network most of the time after flashing custom ROM

I hope I am posting in the right section.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505) and it was crashing on the stock ROM so I flashed the Imperium LL Rom v11.0. The problem I am having is my phone reporting no network signal or "Out of service". But not always. After a reboot I usually have network signal. After locking and unlocking the phone I never have. The signal usually comes within a few minutes. When my phone is reporting "Out of service" I cannot make calls but I can still receive calls. And after the received call has terminated I can still not make calls. After a few minutes the network signal icon comes and I can make calls. Until I lock my phone because it gets lost everytime.
Some info:
1. I was on a rooted Stock 4.2.2 before I flashed the Imperium LL Rom.
2. The IMEI seems to have changed. I never took note of it before flashing, so it might have always been different but the IMEI reported by the phone is different from the IMEI on the sticker underneath the phone battery. I tried the Xposed IMEI changer but the problem still happens so this may be unrelated.
3. While searching I found it could be an invalid Modem driver. In the settings the Baseband version is I9505XXUBMEA so I tried flashing the driver for that version using ODIN. No change.
4. I tried via Recovery to flash Slim80 Kernel Cleaning Script v1.9 and then the Imperium Kernel v3.3 but no change.
I did a factory wipe before flashing the firmware.
Any help or suggestions please?
Thanks!
I have actually solved this. What I had tried before was flashing the modem with the same Baseband I had previously ie: I9505XXUBMEA thinking that there were specific versions which needed specific drivers. Upon reading more I found out that newer versions of the modem should be installed and that XX was a carrier code and the last 2 letters are how recent the driver is. So I tried the latest modem (XXUHOE2) I could find similar to the Imperium Build which is XXUHOJ2 and it seems to be working. My phone retains the network signal when put to sleep.
The fact the IMEI changed is weird and I don't know if it makes a difference. Maybe it was always like this..but it is strange that it is different to the one on the sticker. The format is correct because only the last 4 digits differ.
Anyway I hope this info helps someone with similar problems.
How can I mark the title for this as [Solved]? I can't find any way.

Hi bro first of all thanks for helping me out here but i tried to download a firmware from the site you gave me & its downloading at 15kbps!! It will take too much time to download...
is there any other source i can download it?
+ can you please explain what will be different from the stock 4.3 rom i installed?
Thanks again for helping out, Much appreciated!!
You should flash the latest 5.01 rom, not 4.3.
Try searching for the rom on updato.com.

didnt work unfortunately
i installed this rom : http://updato.com./firmware-archive-select-model?record=BF01B00E1F3711E6949E0CC47A44B7B2 (im from israel)
and i get the same exact problem
also im not 100% sure but i remember i checked the efs folder and it was empty...
am i f***ed or is there still hope?
i have the imei number on the sticker under the battery btw if that helps
Did you flash anything else that could have caused the loss of imei?
The imei should be able to be injected by a cell repair shop via jtag.

Basabeband corrupted

Hi guys, i have a xt1626.
And for some reason last night I lost my network signal and SIM 2 status.
Well... I made a factory reset and flashed lastest stock rom (december 2017).
But it still not work.
SIM 1 is working IMEI is correct. but no signal. Only showing "No Service". SIM 2 is missing.
When I see baseband it shows lastest baseband but not with "DSTV RET_BR..." on final. It show "DFLT_FSG".
I flash modem, install others rom (custom) but nothing works.
There is a chance that make it working again?
Are you sure you have flashed the correct version of stock rom.??? This happened to me only when I flashed the ROM for another variant!
I flash this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
After some google search I found the problem.
The mobile radio is not turning on. Like if the phone still in airplane mode.
i don't know what i have to do. No looks like HW problem cause sim card is recognized
There is a place wich i found specific firmware for xt1626?
firmware.center only have universal firmware.
That link doesn't have the firmware for 1626.. there was a file factory link that had all the variants stock ROMs.. So if you find any nougat version you can flash that barring bootloader and gpt.bin as downgrading them will result in a brick! And then take OTA!
