I got a NS I9020t from the US and i am using it now in India. I had an issue with the phone, If i send a text to a person it goes to another person(on my contacts).
I wiped data, rooted/unrooted tried everything but the problem did not go away. Finally i gave it to a samsung service center here in India, and they told that they'll have to change the motherboard and they did. Now i got back my phone and it has the baseband I9023(I9023xxxKD1).
Do the different variants(i9020t & i9023) of the Nexus have different motherboards or do they have the same motherboard with different basebands?
Also which rooting procedure should i apply , The one for i9020t or the one for the i9023?

Hello,
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800, two weeks ago. The P6800 has multi CSC, initially was shown as 'SIN', I think is tied to the local service provider. It is still running on Honeycomb 3.2, and NOT Root.
There's one incident that I tried to update the firmware to the Austria ICS released, but it was failed and not able to get proceed further or return, it was like 'bricked'.
I sent the P6800 to Samsung Service Center, and they claimed that they have replaced the 'motherboard' for me. However, I did not realize after a few days later, I realized that the 'Serial number' on my P6800/Settings/Above device/Status, is showing as all '000000000000', but IMEI is still the same. I went back to Samsung Service Center and asked them, and they said due to the changed of motherboard, and currently they do not have the facilities to update the Serial number, but they said it will not affect anything, so long as the sticker behind the tablet shows it serial number and IMEI will still served as under warranty.
My P6800 now the CSC-code has changed to 'XSP', which no longer tied to the branded firmware, but when I tried to connect it to the computer with KIES, it stated that my P6800 will not be able to update any future firmware via Samsung KIES. I don't feel good and feeling something and somewhere in my P6800 is not running properly. Beside, I also wondering whether Samsung really changed the motherboard as the transparency sticker behind my P6800 is not been changed or moved, wondering how they replaced the motherboard?
I would like to check whether is there any ways to manually update or input the Serial number back into the P6800 to let it shows under the Settings/About device/Status?
As I wanted to try again to update my P6800 to the latest ICS 4.04 firmware released, but afraid the Serial number issue will fail during the manual update of the ICS 4.04 firmware.
My P6800 and myself are from Singapore.
Please kindly assist and advise anyways to input the Serial number back into my P6800.
Millions of thanks.
I have same issue , i received my Tablet from Samsung service center after motherboard replacement and discovered serial number are all 0's , Does that has any impact fir use of any tablet functions or any application to be installed ? Is there's anyway to edit it manually ?
Hello ferraritm
I went to my Samsung Service center and they advised me same answer you have got , but they confirmed to me this will not cause any issues or conflicts
I installed Official ICS ROM and new JB Custom ROM with no problems at all
I opened also a ticket online with Samsung support , and they replied me that this serial number is related to software not to Hardware , and it may change if you install new ROMs , also they confirmed to me that this will not cause any issues or conflicts with software or Hardware
For me when i installed new JB custom ROM and i can see now new Serial number !

Hello,
I bought a note 3 n9005 european sim model
-from settings my phone reads different IMEI than the one written on the phone under the battery.
-The network goes down to emergency call only but never asked me for unlock PIN
-someone installed for me android 4.4.2 that deleted all options like air gestures and all other Samsung stuffs
- I wanted to return the phone to stock settings, firmware and unlock it.
-knox already tripped
Sounds like it was refurbished or something.
Best way to return to stock is flash stock rom from sammobile for the same region the phone original came from (eg: you got Japan phone, use Japan stock rom).
Your is Euro model, find which Euro country it came from and flash it. Now, you might get away with different regions - but this is only method I know works always.
It should restore original IMEI and other details, to use the sim.
If it doesn't match though... it's possible this phone was stolen or they changed the emmc board inside (due to water damage or something).
Good luck!
i am using galaxy note 4 n910f variant

Check your phone IMEI, may be it damaged !

Hello frnds,
I just purchased a new g2 off from ebay and updated the phone using lg pc suite and boom!!! the phone stopped detecting any network. On diagonising, i figured out its IMEI became null.
When i purchased, the phone worked well and luckily i have noted down the imei number and the original firmware: D80220e(just could not find this firmware's .kdz anywhere on XDA) . So the first attempt was to reinstate the imei. But the pc just would detect the phone in both QPST and LG PC suite. So i checked online, the imei number belonged to UAE, so I flashed the UAE firmware using .kdz method. The phone went into a boot-loop plus it kept formatting itself with every boot.
Then i tried the indian firmware version, with this the touch drivers seem to have got currupted. it does not detect touch properly.
Then I read somewhere that such things can happen if the firmware flashed is of a different model. So i needed to check the exact model no. of my phone and so i opened by back cover just to find that some parts like antenna, nfc chip, back cover etc had 802 model no. on them while below the battery and on the F touch strip beside it, its given as LS980. Further, the back cover has 802t printed on it. Now i am totally confused what to do.
I had read on a post on XDA that some people are selling G2 for real cheap by mixing the left over spare parts of all g2 models as the model is about to close and hence they are clearing off all inventory. Looks like I am stuck with such a peice.
Please suggest what shall i do. Need help desperately.
My ebay vendor is situated in my city itself and he has more such peices.
Attaching pics, please see them and suggest accordingly.

Go to the police/phone company with proof of purchase and there's a limited chance they will help you, besides that your out of luck I'm afraid

Unfortunately this is a common scam and why you should never buy contract phones from anyone anyone who cant prove to you that it isn't a contract phone don't even bother with them. You could try police but i doubt it would get anywhere...
this almost happened to me when i bought my s7e the buyer told me it wasnt on contract so i bought it and when it arrived it was a branded network phone i asked if he could prove it wasnt and he just strung me along until he got angry calling me a scammer. ha i sent it back straight away while i still had money back guarentee via eBay.
i am surprised they even told you any information about it, that information should be confidential unless you can prove you are the original contract holder.
Your options are either use it without a mobile connection or re sell the device overseas.
it will not be blocked overseas.
there is no way to unblock a blocked phone in your country. with good reason too.
the only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard that has a different IMEI.
sorry bro
Officially... you're SOL the IMEI is blocked by the carrier. However, via root methods you can change your IMEI, unfortunately I dont think were allowed to talk about that here ;P
Just root and change your IMEI, just google it
went to cell phone repair shop they did the root and imei fix. but now i am on andriod 6.0.1 and the vibrate doesnt work my phone just emits a faint beep noise instead of vibration. also LTE doesnt work stuck on 4g?. Can i upgrade to 7.0 and fix these issues?
Thanks
LTE is the same as 4G, so no need to worry. As far as the vibrating is concerned, you're on a Nougat bootloader. You have 2 options:
1. Flash a Marshmallow bootloader via Odin. (no need to wipe data and you won't lose anything): LINK
2. Flash a Nougat firmware via Odin. (there's a reset involved, so you will lose all data and root).

This is the right answer OP
sorry im still kind of new to andriod so if i flash to a nougat firmware i will be back on andriod 7 and lose my root but will i get to keep my altered imei? the phone store did all the software stuff not myself.
thankyou
Best way would be to get back to the guy that worked on your phone to make the update.

he cant get my vibration to work and he said u can only stay on 6.0.1 ?
You can follow the steps below to update thread bootloader yourself. The guide is for the S7 flat, but the steps are identical. Just download the bootloader provided by me in the previous post and follow the steps:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/modem-samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930f-t3379596
You can use only the BL file.

Just sell it in another country ? I'm french and one day an ******* sold me a S5 blacklisted by himself for having a full refund with his insurance. So after that i sold the phone in switzerland and obviously informed the guy for the status of the phone. He told me that it wasn't an issue for him and phones are blacklisted by country so no problem
so if i flash nougat firmware via odin will i be able to make calls text data etc as in will my imei stay modified?
going to attempt it this weekend hopefully and get back on nougat
