Just flash MG9 modem via ODIN.

Help
@thienbrand its fixed now. thanks bro

Thats only a workaround..
If you have issues or problem with mg9.. you cant easily downgrade..
Clean system in Philz rec.. then flash (odin) the firmware installed on your s4 when you get it out of the box..
Ive been with this problem from crash mg9 rom..

THANK YOU SO MUCH @thienbrand
I HAVE GROWN A SMALL AMOUNT OF LOVE FOR YOU
LOL
JK BUT FOR REAL, THANKS, YOU DAVED MY A#S BIG TIME

no it's not my work, you should thank the developer-team and kick samsung's ass.

32g sm-n9005 baseband unknown/imei null/sound and camera not working

After flashing the sm-n9005 to N9005DXUENE4 the phone is not function at all. Though I can still boot into the system it becomes very laggy, baseband unknown, imei null sound and camera not working. Did try to flash Sweetrom V7 still the same. Anyway if there's a way I can bring it back to life?
Try to flash back stock rom..or restore thru kies 3 will be much better..
Sent from my GT-S7500 using XDA Free mobile app
Did try the stock rom already, still the same.

IMEI NULL/NULL is modem or hardware problem
My guess is that it is due to a modem/firmware mismatch. Start flashing a modem for same fw version.
did that already, one more thing the phone keyboard and the swipe to unlock is not responsive at all.repair.
did you find any solution and fixed your phone ?

When arrive the problem and which rom and modem do you have before?
You need to go back on this... you Don t have efs backup?????
Otherwise try to put NF2 modem with NF4 rom. Bootloader is not important.
But check if modem well installed because odin says PASS but still on old modem
Try to flash latest NG2 firmware after whipe cache and factory reset. It did the job for me.

I have been already try KHIZAR'S METHOD*to install different LTE Modems on my phone with different stock roms. No matter finally i gave my phone to local repair shop. Samsung Official repair center's do not care about my phone due to it is N9005 and it is not for my country selling phone.
And another question my first N9005 slept in water during almost whole night. When i wake up in the morning i found my phone in water since many hours. I give it repair shop to check also but seems to main board needs to be replaced. Connection sockets damaged badly like melted half of them. is it possible to only change the connection sockets instead of whole mainboard ? Any idea ? and Where can i get only the connection sockets ? from samy ? ))
And i am starting the googled to find N9005 mainboard sockets
You re the terminator of N9005.? ....... no idea about motherboard or connector sorry....
I am having the same issue,
I'm new to the site been cool so far learned a lot and done a lot with my Note 3 since being here.
I recently rooted and install a custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) that works great, I tried flashing back to stock but encountered a major problem. after flashing to stock my IMEI is unknown and also my base-band from reading it seem as if my EFS got corrupted tried a ton of different thing and still I cant get this to work on stock. Only way my IMEI and base-band comes back is whenever I reinstall the custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) and restore the EFS that was backed up during the first installation of this rom
Thanks in advance all help is greatly appreciated. :good::good:

Have you tried restoring back to stock through ODIN? Download your stock firmware from the sammobile website, and follow a guide on how to restore your phone with ODIN.
Note that this will reset your device and you will lose all your data.
If that doesnt work then im not sure what you can do i'm sorry

If you don`t have the EFS folder backup up you need to turn it in for repair because there is nothing else to do about it. The motherboard will probably be replaced in order to get a new IMEI number.

There is no patch for something that is not restorable ie is gone. Have a new motherboard installed or sell the phone for parts, that`s it mate
I hope any other solution.. tnk help
You didn't provide much information for us. Not even what program you used to root or the Odin log and verbatim error messages. So it's uncertain what happened due to the lack of information.
Try writing a full, stock firmware image for your carrier with Odin and see if that restores your phone. If not, is your phone under warranty? You may wish to try making a warranty claim with your carrier. Otherwise you can look to a paid vendor for assistance. This forum does not condone IMEI manipulation and is the wrong place to pose IMEI questions. You may find a good Google search to be advantageous.

well i manage to bring back sound and baseband by flashing australian firmware and doing some modem flash over it
after that i tried couple of old roms but still imei remains "/01"
now i flashed back the australian firmware, this time didnt have to flash modem to brig back sound as it booted up normally
but still im struggling to fix my imei number as now i have a wifi phablet instead of working phone??
is it possible to fix the imei number somehow...this whole thing is driving me crazy!!!
Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567133
Same thing happen to me. U cant bring back ur Ime flashing some roms or firmware. Because Now your EFS is blocked by KNOX. After you upgrade Do not downgrade or flash older modems .
This is the method you can bring back your phone. Before try this method flash the lates firmware then try these commands.
Good luck

Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 IMEI / Baseband NULL / NULL
Hello every body, and thank you at advance for multiple sharing , and help solving android problems.
Am facing the same problem of NULL imei and base band as well, i endured this issu after a month of experiencing a new official update from kitkat 4.4.4 to lollipop 5.0.1 it worked fine at first but with use i had heat issu, and loss of network 2G intermittently ..
i tried to root the device, but it gave no solution, the re-install of lollipop non-official leads me to the loss of IMEI numbre.
i triyed to downgrade to kitkat, i didnot found the 4.4.4 version in samsung stock, i've downloaded 4.4.2 , reinstall, the lollipop is still persisting.
back to hard samsung wipe data , also gave nothing.
please advise.
thank you
PS : i have no ESF backup

If it was working before you dropped it, then you have hardware damage and the above method will not fix it. Bring it to a service center.

Just do the firmware recovery in Samsung Kies.
Take out battery and follow instructions in firmware upgrade and initialization on Samsung Kies.
Should reset everything to normal again
If it doesn't ask for model number and serial number in the setup you need to have the phone disconnected and connected when it asks.
Hope this helps
Why would he help others when he got help. Just run away is the norm. ?
