[GT I9505] Can't Emit/Receive Call

Hi everyone,
first, sorry for my bad english, I live in France.
So, I have some problems with my GT I9505 because I can't emit or receive call since one week maybe more.
I was with the ROM Custom by Jamal (Google Edition 4.4.2) since one month and everything was ok.
But there is one week ago, I couldn't call or receive call !
I try some tips like :
- Format Dalvik Cache
- Format Data/Factory Reset
- Format Cache
Nothing worked. So, I decided to flash the ROM again, nothing working too.
I decided to go with a Stock Rom without root.
I went to : I9505XXUFNB9
I launch the phone and sames problems !! Impossible to call !!
I tried too the sames tips :
- Format Dalvik Cache
- Format Data/Factory Reset
- Format Cache
My MICRO SIM is OK because I tested her in phone's friend (Apple Iphone 4S).
So, I think there is one problem with my phone... I don't know what kind of problem...
But, I can emit and receive SMS and use LTE network.
Thanks you for helping.

The problem is that ur phone is blocked to that company and the latest firmware for it is: I9505XXUEMKF android 4.3. You are having problems coz u flashed a unbranded firmware. We gona try a thing:
1. Go to Settings - Connections - More networks - Mobile network - Network operators.
2. Click and wait till it find Bouygues Telecom. If no, search it automatically or manually
3. I hope this will work for ya. Good luck :highfive:

This Week End, I have receive a new Micro Sim, then I can emit or receive SMS but not even emit or receive call !
Do you have any solution for me ?

Try to flash this MODEM through ODIN.
Little guide:
Use Odin
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem (the file u downloaded)
Put off ur battery and put in again
Reboot into Download Mode (Vol Down + Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Put off ur battery and put in again
Once done, unplug then reboot device manually.

The battery pulling part can also be replaced by simply pressing Power for 10 seconds. No idea why removing the battery would be necessary.

*EDIT: My last idea is make FACTORY RESET:
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap the Accounts tab.
Tap Backup and reset.
If desired, tap Automatic restore to clear the check box.
If desired, tap Back up my data to clear the check box.
Tap Factory data reset.
Tap Reset device.
If you have screen lock turned on, enter your PIN or password. Tap Continue.
Tap Delete all.

I tried too a wipe data but nothing work...

Please, anyone have got a solution ?
EDIT : I can call the 112 only...

i9505 can't connect to 3g - mobile data issue

Hi,
I've read dozen of similar threads but no solution so far.
My phone can't connect to 3G at all. The moment I switch to only WCDMA phone drops network completely.
Everything else works without a problem. I've tried other sim cards (same and other network) no difference.
Baseband and IMEI are OK.
I've tried flashing modems, stock firmwares and it's always the same.
Current state:
AP: I9505XXUFNB9
CP: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505OXXUFNB2
Please help, I'm running out of ideas.

1. Make a backup of ur Internal Memory
2. Make a factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Conect it to Kies 3
4. Kies 3 will give u the info you need for know ur correct CSC. This will be btw parenthesis close CSC.
5. Knowing ur CSC, take a look for this firmware in Sammobile.com
6. Download and flash it with ODIN (Dont flash a "Black EDITION" if ur phone isnt it)
7. If this not work, you can get it to repair :highfive:

Did already this before posting. I've read pretty much all threads with similar problems. Thanks anyway.
Any more ideas?
Maybe flash box can help it? At this point I'm really frustrated for not being able to fix this. Had several androids before (s and s2 also) and always managed to repair them. First time for everything For sure I'll take it to repair shop on Monday.

Same problem here. I have a S4 i9505 free of carriers. No 3G signal, only EDGE (2G).
I updated modem, nothing happened, Then updated firmware to the last one, and nothing. The problem is still there.
What can I do?
Last firmware installed: I9505XXUGNI2

When did you start experiencing this? Did you update your firmware and suddenly this happened? I too have the same problem. It started when I did sim unlock. I'm not able to fix it up to now.

In my case it was damaged EFS partition. The only way to repair it was using Box. So I would suggest the same to you. At least you'll save a lot of nerves

HI, thanks for your answer.
What is Box? How do I repair EFS partition?
In my case (actually, my friend's phone), it connects to EDGE and it can call to any destiny. Sometimes, loses signal, but with the new firmware, it appears that works better. But no 3G/H+ signal.
Maybe she can go to the service (SAT) ... and they would repair the EFS??
Thanks for your help.
PS: Sorry for my english. I speak Spanish.

We have the same problem. I already brought my S4 to the official samsung service center. Only thing they did was flash an updated ROM from my carrier. It didn't solve the problem as expected because I've done the same already before taking the phone to them. I also already flashed different modems with no luck. This is getting really frustrating. I wish you luck in your search for a solution. Subscribing to this thread.

Box is device built based on reverse engineering of mobile phones allowing user to perform more advanced service operation (for example EFS repair) on handhelds/cells. It usually comes with special set of cables for specified vendor. Google for example 'z3x box' for an idea. It's cheaper for you to bring the phone to some service shop which has box for Samsung phones. They can settle this in a matter of minutes.
Sorry for the late answer, been very busy lately.

I was digging for like a week or so, because i have the same problem. ( i have 2g / gsm signal, but when i switch to wcdma (or 3g) only, i was getting no signal at all. (the circle with the line in it). My imei is not broken/missing, and from all the forums i've been digging i came to conclussion that there are several possible solutions as i think, but im not too deep into that matter, so im just sharing my thoughts, dont try these if you dont know what are you doing, i say again, im not completely sure if any of those gonna actually work.
1st - EFS Proffesional (along with Qualcomm NV Tools) - which can be found here, in xda. (The program itself has a ****load of options, and i dont have the knowledge to operate with it). Qualcomm NV Tools is a part of EFS Pro.
2nd - the secret code menu - Service Mode ( *#197328640# ) - I wasnt able to enter it at first, so downloaded the Shortcut Master (lite) (free in Play Store) and found it there, launched it with option 0 (launches a code with root priv) and i entered the service mode.) i've explored it, there are a lot of settings there, like backup, restore, rebuild, changing bands and so on and on and on, and somewhere inside it, there MIGHT be a solution inside those. I'd like to hear something more about those options from someone who actually understands them.
Other option is JIFF BOX, which i dont know how actually found, it seems that program requires qualcomm usb drivers for PC, and i think this is something like virtual box or w/e it is, i couldnt run it, didnt have time atm, but this program is given to wake up even completely dead sgs4 somehow, so why not bringing back the 3g?
And the last thing ive found - SRS - (found it in sammobile's forums. Some kind of imei/efs/baseband/etc restorer, reflasher or w/e it is. But this is paid program with free trial for unlocking the screen pattern. )
At last, you/me, can always go for a service with box for samsung phones and pay for reflash/repair. Is this the only solution?
Forgot to tell - im using i9505. simfree, no brands etc....

Can't edit previous post. This is the actual service mode code, don't know what are the prefixes and suffixes, I'm running it with root and shortcut master lite. It seems playing with the settings can help, but we need ppl who can really understand these settings. If you need / want, ill make more screenshots.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

I was also able to read IMEI and have used EFS Professional and NV Qualcomm tools but without success. EFS partition was damaged anyway. So yes box is the only solution in a majority of cases.

Can you explain a bit more what have you tryed with EFS Pro and NV Qualcomm tools?
To others: What about that secret menu? Can something be done by the options inside?

1. It's the correct firmware for your device and the latest. Yes. Problem of sound/wifi are related to wrong baseband normally. Reflashing it 2 times solve the problem.
2. We will try other options.
3. You have to install STOCK ROM for dial *#1234# first.

N900W8 refuses to accept SIM/make calls

I have made a prior thread regarding this issue in troubleshooting/help but no-one is biting and I REALLY need this solved. PLEASE.
I'm not a 100% sure how this problem occurred, I believe it was after flashing an S5 custom rom called: "RC Elite S5 Port V16" To my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900W8). From what I was reading it was a ROM that "converts" your note 3 to a note 4 or s5, while still having all the Note 3 features. Another possible cause is trying to use RegionLock Away.apk by Chainfire to essentially(unlock) the phone. I feel like this is the main cause though as this affects the modem on the phone. This isn't the SIM as I tried it in another phone and works fine with calls and texts.
IMEI and serial number show the exact ones on the box. I have the latest updated firmware (stock) from Samsung Kies 3 AND Sammobile. Here is a list of pictures from an app I installed prior "Phone INFO Samsung" from the GooglePlay Store.
https://imgur.com/a/grUQt#0
I skipped "DEVICE ID" section as it is 100% legitimate IMEI and Serial Number.
My phone doesn't want to register its mobile network anymore. When I try to make a call or text it says:
http://i.imgur.com/XlIc03J.png
I was reading online for about 2-3days now for possible solutions that can cure this. Such as:
1. Going into Mobile Networks settings and manually register [failed, details below]
2. Going into Mobile Networks settings, hold home button for 2seconds and then hold power button + home button for 15seconds [failed, details below]
3. Taking out battery while the phone is on and remove the SIM card, clean it and re-insert [failed]
4. Factory Reset [Failed]
5. Wipe Storage and re-flash stock ROM [Failed]
6. Turn on airplane mode, restart and turn off [Failed]
7. Reflash stock firmware without SIM card installed [Failed]
8. Completely discharge the battery, recharge [Failed]
Options 1 & 2 do not work because when I try to access Mobile Network Settings I get this:
http://i.imgur.com/JNS9C2Q.png
The SIM card is inside the phone though...
So what I did is found a mobile network options shortcut "program" from GooglePlay Store and installed it. It allows me to access the menu, which is great! Now, when I try to register the SIM card to my correct service provider (BELL CANADA)...it will make me wait for about 1-2minutes before I get "Unable to register, try later" error...even for automatic registration. Here are some more images from my stock from status info page...
http://i.imgur.com/arM0NM6.png
http://i.imgur.com/SsvmPA1.png
If you look, you can see I have full reception on my toolbar at the top...but, when we look at the actual connections everything is unknown and/or disconnected. Even my phone number!
I tried the factory restore with a stock 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile/Samsung Kies3 and the issue is still there.
Is there anything that anyone knows that can help me resolve this problem? I tried EVERYTHING i can possibly find on Google.
Thank you very much in advance. This is honestly the more unique problem I have ever encountered and i'm in DIRE need of my phone.

Solution!
Bother, I'm sorry to tell you this but you need to restore to the factory rom, through kies on your pc, and after that go to recovery boot and make a back up of your modem and efs, then wipe all data, system, cache, dalvik and internal SD, install rc lite, and restore model and efs!
This works for me every time this happens when trying out new roms, good luck friend!

N9005 can't connect to network / no signal at all

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a network connect but with no effort. When I choose "mobile providers" within settings the phone searches a while automatically but it won't find any carrier to connect with.
The phone is rooted and I tried the following things last week:
- another simcard, same result
- regionlock away.apk
- cyanogen rom 12.1
- another stock rom based on different csc
I attached some screenshots from phone info -samsung-. The IMEI is still valid and I think there's no corrupt efs folder at all.
Can someone help me please?
cheers,
michel

Thank you for responding! I checked IMEI with some free IMEI checker and got the result "clean" every time. But I took only free IMEI checker and I assume that they check it only against US/CDN databases and not europe ones.
Maybe some paid checker can prove it more reliable!?

Does somebody has an idea how to fix this?
