No network in my Note after getting back from service center

After I got back my phone from the service center where I had given it for a display replacement claim, I am not getting any network. I tried 2-3 sim-cards. I guess the service center guys did a software update before returning my phone since there was a notification to update when I had given them the phone.
It's like, get range only 10% of the time the Note is switched on. I flashed different firmwares using ODIN but even that didn't help.
So is this an hardware problem?

Doubtful. Check the apn settings, see if it corresponds to your provider.

Why close the thread ? The OP hasnt got a solution yet !!
Anyway, As SpyderTracks said Check your APN settings, and maybe a different radio too !
Are you not getting a signal anywhere ? or just in one location ? have you checked to see whether there are any faults with your providers network ?

^What a joke.
First off, try another ALREADY active SIM card (a friends or something), if it works, this may be something to contact your carrier for tech support about, if it doesn't, contact the manufacturer.

[Q] How to activate?

I Have had this phone since May 3rd I was having signal issues so I did the ##72786# Reset and now my phone won't activate any more. I just moved to Sprint when I got this phone so I don't have a backup any help is appreciated. Thanks

Have you done any modifications to the device? ##72786# always works for me.
I mean worse case scenario, you can do a hard reset or take it to a sprint store.

No I just flashed back to stock MDC took it to the store and they couln't help me. Customer Support gave me a $10 bill credit and will have engineers look in to it i know it is a issue with the phone so what else do you recommend I do. BTW do you know how to manually write a data profile because I tried manually activating it and only calls and text worked.

Well that was nice of customer support. I highly doubt it, but maybe you can update to MDL or MF9.
And I don't know blue to, I'm sorry. But if you got texting and calls working, I think it's a step in the right direction. Just the data doesn't work , right?

I recently had the same problem trying to get my sprint s4 to boost, I called about 4 boost mobile stores a lot of them said it cant be done but I did find one thatwas able tp help. I purchased a new plan with boost and ported my number over. They did a over the air flash through their customer service. They powered off the phone and after a few mins they turned it back on, it no longer had the sprint boot logo it was boost mobile and has been working fine ever since with full lte. Only thing you will need will be a sim card from sprint. if you still have the orginal sim card in it, it will work fine. Hope this helps....

Yeah i had my first s4 put over to boost back around the last of oct. just called gave the dec and it was put right on my account. Bought a black one called to take the white one off and add black one and was told i had to take it to a boost store. Told them that was bs as i did not have to do it with the first one, then she went ahead and put it on my account. As long as your phone has a clean esn it should be good to go.

Called ATT for the update

Tried the update using the phone, no go. Called ATT and the ATT woman ended up pushing the update via wifi to my wifes phone. Took about and hour from start of download to the reboot.

I called at&t and was told no such update exist..... still on 4.2.2.

Then that person lied to you. My wife's phone showed 4.3 after the reboot.

What did you have to say? I swear I talked to two of the "support" people and they were as dumb as a box of rocks... they think that 4.2.2 is the new update...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

I told them that an update was released earlier that day and that when I checked using my phone, it said my phone was up to date. The woman checked and confirmed what I had told her so she did what she had to on her end and pushed it to my wife's phone. The woman actually called it a firmware update instead of just an update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

A similar thing happened to me. Last night, I was told that there was definitely an update available and that it would come to my phone within the next few hours. It did, but I called AT&T this evening about Knox, and was told that the update has been pulled. According to the rep, they made a statement that "AT&T and Samsung have pulled the update and are looking into issue." They go on to mention Galaxy Gear support, call quality, but that is it. They mention nothing about Knox.

Can you please share how you did this. Who did you talk to. Their number and so on?

I just dialed 611 and got ahold of, I think her first name was Carol (she was American and spoke excellent English), just tell whoever answers that you want the firmware update that'll take your phone from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Whoever you talk to should understand that, if not, demand to talk to someone else or a supervisor.

Got a hold of ATT they said that they have stopped pushing it out because of too many issues it was causing on some GS4's. Said ATT wa working on a fix and it would be back on OTA as soon as possible so I guess its just sit tight and wait.

They had the same problem with the 4.3 S3 update. Maybe they will include the Profile creator (KNOX) app that they previously excluded when they restart the OTAs.

AT&T Update
I was right by an AT&T Store when reading this, and went in to ask for myself. (I have an S4.) And he said to be patient, and that he doesn't know when it will be available.

Classic "canned" response. It's a good bet the AT&T employee had no idea of what you were talking about.

On the phone with Samsung now. I337 updates have stopped but he doesn't know why. At least I got the truth from Samsung instead of the fellow at AT&T who told me over and over that my phone is up to date and that my gs4 model doesn't get the 4.3 update. A$$clown.

System updates is not available.

When going to do the KitKat update after freshly sbf'ing to stock I am greeted with a prompt(when I go to settings>about phone>system update) that says the following; "System updates is not available without a Motorola service account". It asks me if I want to set up an account and when I try it just has a spinning circle that never goes away. I am on 9.30.1. I have tried a factory reset multiple times with no success. Any ideas on a fix?

Perhaps someone will pull the official update from their cache and you could apply in the same manner as the soak test leak

I do! I even had the phone into the Verizon store today and they played with it for about an hour (near as I can tell, they didn't do anything I hadn't already tried). The consensus was that I needed a new phone, so they are going to overnight a new phone out to me.

Okay I have bad news. I just got off the phone with a tech support agent at Motorola. They asked for my IMEI, I gave it to them and they told me they could tell i was rooted(which is funny because I'M ACTUALLY NOT ) and that the Motorola servers don't push updates to rooted phones. makes me question a lot because when i was actually rooted i got the update, but now that i'm not i don't? This is a mess. I just want my update.
