don't worry about the black screen of death, it can be fixed

Unless the hardware is broken you can always reflash the phone, even if 3 button download mode is not working.
Does the phone give you the option to search for networks? I had the problem you describe whenever I was going roaming and I would come off the flight safe mode. The phone would not connect to the network until I restarted it.

the 3 botton are working on my phone
i don't understand you what do you mean by "Does the phone give you the option to search for networks?" but the wifi work perfect on my phone
if you type *#06# does the imei show ok? if not it could be a corrupt nvdata.bin file. If you delete nvdata.bin and nvdata.md5 file it will reload them from the nvdata.bak files but do this only as a last resort.
Edit: Back them up first mind.
I'd just reflash if I were you, you can use it as an opportunity to load a newer firmware if you're not already using a new one, JPM is working great for me. I'd advise using Titanium to backup your contacts, accounts, wifi access points, launcher layout, etc, etc, first though. You should be able to restore the entire look and feel of your phone then, not to mention all the app data, etc.

This very same thing happened to me as well. This is because your IMEI is gone or is invalid.
Networks detects your IMEI so when you don't have one, they won't give you permission to their signal.
I didn't backed up my EFS folder before this happened.
Luckily, SGS Toolbox did make a back-up of my nvdata.bin when I checked for my product code before I screwed up my IMEI and I just replaced the corrupted EFS folder files with whatever SGS toolbox backed up to fix the issue (whew!)
I don't think you can fix this on your own unless you backed up your EFS folder before having this issue.
Try to follow the other user's suggestiong to delete the two files and reboot ]but ENSURE that you back up your EFS folder. I suggest creating 2 back up files. 1 in your PC and 1 in your phone's SD.
Note: Flashing will not solve this. Since ODIN does not touch your IMEI. If its' invalid, it will stay invalid regardless of how many flash you make.

Hold on, a Galaxy S must be within it's warranty period, it's a recent product. If you have a faulty product, it's Samsung's responsibility to honour their parts warranty. I would have gone mad if Samsung had asked me for $300 for something that is their responsibility. Call them again and request a repair under warranty.

"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...

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

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.

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...

Had the same problem like you before. You must have done something that altered the Baseband/Modem. I will assume you haven't made an EFS Backup. What you can do is this, download a stock Firmware and manually flash is. Just be sure that the firmware you will download is meant for your country. After flashing, try to see the IMEI of your phone. If the correct IMEI shows, then try making calls, text and connect to your mobile data. If not, then try flashing any modem meant for GT-i9500. If the problem still persist, then your last option would be to change baseband antennae or worst, replace the board itself which can only be done by technicians which has the proper replacement parts.
Thanks for answering, i flash my device with my country oficial stock room, after that im still having the correct imei but cant make calls, say no service and no registered on network, i have efs backup, but after restore nothing happend =(

My samsung galaxy s5 g900t started having problem this morning. I;ve been using blisspop rom since 3 month ago and everything was fine. But now my phone wont even find a signal. The signal bar is empty. I though it might have been because of an app. therefore i deleted any unusual app, and nothing happened. Then i proceeded to factory reset and nothing happened, then i decided to change the rom, and nothing happened ( i changed to 6 different roms, all between LP and MM. I proceeded to flash the stock firmware via odin, it successfully flashed the stock firmware, However nothing happened. It has an empty signal bar with and x on the inside. So far I've tried with different sim cards and it happens the same. NOTHING. My phone has been using heavy duty covers since day 1. The last cover i bought was the Love Mei one. Which is Extremely heavy duty. (combination between aluminum and rubber).However im starting to think that i will have to buy a new part of the phone. I know about phones, and software related, however i dont know as much as a professional or amateur would about hardware (external)
Can someone please give me suggestions about what to do before proceeding to buy a new part? If i have to buy a new part, which one do i have to buy? the antenna? or what? I've posted the picture of the screenshot ( look at the signal bar) Forgive me if someone has posted the same issue, however the suggestions xda was telling me are far from being the same than my problem.
Do you still have an IMEI if you type *#06# ?
If not, I hope you backed up your EFS partition before flashing ROMs

No. I didnt. Okay i though it was a lost cause. Here is what happened, somehow my EFS folder got erased, and my imei and S/N were gone along with it. After you lost those 2 essential things every company turns their back on you. So, it is either you fix it by buying one of those boxes that fix imeis and networks related, or buy a new logical board on ebay; or just give up and proceed to buy a new phone. However, even though i saw that my imei was null, and my S/N was also gone, Having no backups of EFS, I was at the edge of giving up. Until i decided to do the following: I installed the firmware that came with the phone. which it was a 4.4.2 version. Then i upgraded it to 5.0. And..... Everything was back... however my IMEI is not the same that came with the phone. Which is kind of odd. How did i get a new IMEI by just goning back and for between upgrades? Who knows.... Anyway, now I have full bar as its supposed to be. And currently 4g. (There was another thing i did but i will refrain from telling, since it isnt that interesting)
Very strange, but good news it's working
I'd would strongly advise you to back up that EFS partition asap now just in case

Ueah. I never thought that would happen to me. Thats why i never did the backup. I did it as soon as i saw that i got signal, service, imei and sn back. Haha
No-one ever thinks it will happen to them, that's why I backed mine up before I even decided to flash anything custom at all
