Hi,
I Have a galaxy i9506 (orange france android 4.3),
Phone was unlocked now but I have no network on 2G , 3G finds network just fine.
Any way to fix this? Can I rewrite modem file and then try to unlock with *#0011# method?
If this is posible can someone direct me to a good modem file?
Thank you.
If i write modem is posible to unlock by nck code i supose. I realy need 2g network.
How can I bring the phone to it's original state (locked orange france) so I can the use a NCK code to unlock it?
Flash the france orange firmware from sammobile's firmware database. Instructions are on the same page as the download. I can't link, sorry.
I did that , It kept all my programs and settings intact , root was left intact too. I used odin 3.09 . so nothing happedend after flashing original firmware from sammobile.
Complete Refresh

If you have rooted than its very good, wipe everything from recovery and flash complete firmware from odin. Its impossible that root is there, because system,kernel and recovery partitions are overwritten. However su binary app will be there but will not work because data partition remains intact.
Now back to your original problem, i don't know how you unlocked your phone? I am afraid phone's efs is not corrupted, because if everything is good means imei and modem and when phone try to register on network of locked phone then it simply ask code. Check imei, modem and network status, if your phone is registered on network and showing carrier name?
Backup efs partition before playing more because if efs is corrupted than you are finished ! I9506 is qualcomm version so QPST tool can also help in modem related issue, press thanks if it helps
Indeed after reflash i lost root. But the phone is still unlocked and no 2g signal. How can i relock it? The phone was unlocked with direct unlock option from some unlock software... dunno witch one(I bought it already unlocked and rooted )
I searched some gsm forums and found something that is said to work for I9506 too:
SPT BOX forum :
4.4.2 kitkat net probleme after supper imei unlock
connect your N9005 to the Box using USB in ( dm+modem+adb ) mode by dialing *#0808# in Samsung's Dialer ..
1st - Choose N900w8 from the list then click Repair 3G Network this will Fix the 2G network
2 - choose N9005 again and press repair 3G network again this will Fix the 3G network with 2G working too
Unfortunately I don't think anyone in my city has SPT BOX ( .... i will search some gsm services
Identify cause

I told u some points, please follow it and find out what is the root cause of your problem then try to ask or fix. You can use qualcomm nv tools and qpst for imei but first find out what is the cause then ask for help.
EFS professional also has nv tools and other fixes, use this download link

Hi , thank U for the info. I must now learn how to use the program to rebuild NV of the phone ( atleast i think that i must do) . never had to do such fixes of any phone. The i9506 was unlocked by direct unlock in z3x box. After that no more 2g connectivity , the phone finds network if I manualy search but cannot connect to it. Sais emergency calls only.
Anyway I think your sugestion will fix my problem .... just have to learn how to use program
Thanks again.
I rooted phone , backed up all that I could find to backup in EFS Professional 2.1.73 and after that I tried option "repair NV Data file permisions" "Option to repair NV data file ownership to fix 'Unknown baseband' and 'No signal' issues." .... then big dissapointment .... popup "This option cannot be used with your device! " . Damn I was realy hopeing that the option will repair my 2G signal problem. Seems that I must find another solution .... maybe some other sugestions?
Thank you.
When u run efs professional u have 4 options, try 2nd option 'Qualcomm nv tools' . Check information on diagnostic tab and if u see any thing wrong try secure ops tab for ESN / MEID / IMEI repair, also first check that your phone is showing correct IMEI by *#06# which is on behind the battery.

The phone is showing corect imei. I browsed through tabs , backed-up nvdata(took more than 30 min).I will look at diagnostics tab to see if anything shows "RED" .
Thank U.
I made some screenshots with the info shown in NV TOOLS . I don't know what to look for to see is not ok.
Plz post snaps of lockscreen, imei check window (*#06#) and phone about device. also tell me which firmware u have?
Screenshots , Firmware is Official 4.3 Orange France from Sammobile
From snaps, it seems your phone is registered on network and modem is working fine that's why showing correct IMEI. Normally when your phone is not registered on network, shows emergency call and null IMEI then you are unable to call or sms but i can't understand your case. If you are not able to call or sms then try changing different carrier sim or upgarde to latest kitkat 4.4.2, follow this link

P.S. At last post snap of complete status window(in two snaps) from about device.

At last i can say your phone efs is corrupt, try manually writing IMEI again from Qualcomm nv tools and flashing kitkat 4.4.2. If don't work then samsung tool (Z3X) or other hardware box can fix efs like u unlock from Z3X box.
This is free tool which offer imei repair, ChimeraTool

hope you fine ..
this note 3 (N9005) lost BB and IMEI after flashing KK FW ..
so, i tried to flash another FW but still same ..
also tried to flash latest Modem and BB fixed but IMEI still (/01) ..
so, i went to EFS_Professional app and wrote IMEI from the back to phone ..
now phone has IMEI but Emergency Calls Only ..
IMEI CERT: PASS
what should i do .. ??
also, i have SPT and Z3X boxes and i can write Super IMEI with SPT or write CERT file with Z3X ..
but i don't want to change the IMEI .. i want to restore it's original IMEI.
thx in advance.
1- Try re-flashing full stock firmware for your device via Odin. To obtain the correct firmware, use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
2- If that doesn't help, try this post.

What the Super IMEI would be?
Can you show this IMEI?

Super IMEI is an unlock method for new models which can't be unlocked by default methods cause it has a new security which boxes can't bypass ..
To unlock your phone ( ex: Note 3 ) you have to wipe EFS first then there is a list with a lot of IMEIs for every phone .. So, you can choose one of them to write to your phone .. Now it's unlocked.
But you can't write back your original IMEI.
So, i used this method for that phone and it fixed the problem.

Send it back to LG for repair. messing with the IMEI is illegal (short of backing up and restoring) and as such banned from the site.

Check if you have IMEI
Go to Settings > About > Status
If its null or empty that means your IMEI is lost and you cant use any SIM or network, IMEI can be only restored if you made a backup before.
If you are lucky enough reflashing the phone firmware maybe solve the problem

-in first time i need to know if your phone load your sim
-go into dialer app and call *#06*, if you will get "null", you lost your IMEI, then go into imei lost/rewrite imei topic
- if you will get two simular lines if numbers, you are ok, try your sim on other mobile and other sims in your mobile, if signal will not work, go visit service center, they will repair it (if you have locked bootloader)
btw did you use stock rom?
