Hello friends.
I have a note 3 n-900 which due to problems I had to buy a motherboard in aliexpres and change it myself. Say that the motherboard is a N900 of the same model as mine. What happens is if I have a valid IMEI but I do not have a network service from my operator and I do not know what to do. I resort to your wisdom and ask for help. Thank you.
Valid IMEI for what ??old or new .

Well to answer this quick. Just make sure you have an EFS backup before you do anything. if something goes wrong you could always restore you EFS and have your IMEI restored.
Just flash it with a same region as your phone is.
Don't use a UK Firmware on the Hong Kong version phone.

Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your help and your time
just root your phone and put imei remover it will unlock it and you can use your simcard in it, you can find the remover in this website. this happen to me and I did this and my phone is working the only problem is you will need to do this each 4 or 6 monthes. Hope this will help you. Note if you search it in youtube there is a vid will teach you how to do this if you are new about it.
I no need unlock simcard, i need change IMEI because my imei is blocked in my country by all operators,if i amcheck my imei,i found This imei is blaklisted in Czech republic

I think you bought a stolen one...

Greetings,
In most countries, it is unlawful to change IMEI. In XDA land, it is forbidden to discuss this process.

Hello to all
I have bought a second hand Samsung galaxy note 3 n9005. i have noticed that the region is mismatched. i am saying this because the signal reception is really bad. call wont go through and after some tries it will and etc. i do not know what is the real region of the mobile. is there anyway to know that? currently i have my imei intact, so i do get signals.
I am currently on KITKAT
i will be really grateful if anyone can help me out.
Hope to hear from you guys soon
Thanks in advance
Original region is not what you want .
You want firmware or baseband and CSC for the network you want to use now .
Phone Info from Play store will give phone details.
thanks for ur reply
Ic
i have tried a few firmwares that work here but their reception is not good
Modem / Base4band is the key .
hmm ic
that is the main issue
how do i identify which baseband (region) was my phone orignally on?
because there are too many of them available and if i try them one by one then it will take too much time and also there is a chance that the imei might go null
Start.
Where are you and what network.
Say you are in the UK and on O2 network then you flash uk o2.
But backup your EFS first .

Sorry fella, discussion of how to modify IMEI numbers is against XDA rules as it is illegal to tamper with it in many countries. I understand your reason for posting and that you are simply trying to get your device back in working order, but any methods or information posted here in answer to your question could be seen and used by somebody 'less honest' so unfortunately for you, you're not going to get your answer on this site.
The only bit of info we can give would be to take your device to a repair centre where they have the equipment needed to re-write your IMEI.

Samsung said not repairable and you have no backed up EFS folder .
You can search the forum for thousands of identical post see if you can work out a fix .

Well first of all, WHY DID YOU TRY TO UPDATE WITH LOW BATTERY?!?! I'm pretty sure you get warned EVERYWHERE to have AT LEAST 70-80% in every update ever to avoid problems like this. I'd honestly take it to a non-official repair center. I once had this problem on a Note 1, tried searching everywhere on the net but no luck. Just took it to this one person that specialized on repairing phones and he did it for about $5 dollars. Every fix I found on the web involved having a backup of you /EFS which I didn't have. Mistakes are for you to learn, hopefully you know better in the future.
okey.. thank you for respond
