Hey Guys,
Just by chance, I found a cracked note 3 on the street today and brought it home. the screen all works but one problem is that I can't seem to connect to any mobile network. It is a Note 3 SM-N9005 which seems to have originally come from Vodafone australia.
The original sim was in it but it doesn't connect and I tried my Optus sim which also did not work. I tried to register on the network in the settings menu but it would just load and then not do anything. The settings show that it is disconnected from a network but still gets a signal.
When I try to call it also says mobile network unavailable! I have done a google search but to no avail. Most info is American but I am an Australian user.
I also get a circle icon with a dash through it in the status bar where there should be a network icon? I haven't owned many Samsungs before, so I would appreciate your help!!
I have attached some screenshots which show more info. CAN SOMEBODY HELP? I would really like to ressurect this awesome device! And if I succeed, then it will replace my current daily HTC One M7. THANKS in advance!
and no the phone is not stolen, i'm telling the truth. phone was reset and there is no evidence of any owner info. tried searching for google account, facebook account and that samsung apps account thing but nothing was there.

Why don`t you take it to the police, if you `found` it. I`am sure the original owner will appreciate that, as would you

Not saying you had anything to do with it, but these kind of posts appear to be suspicsious
And remove imei number from your thread.

Install an app from Playstore named;
"PhoneInfoSamsung"
And verify.
Hi
thanks for reply ive downloaded the app & run it it provides lots of info but i dont know exactly what im looking for ?
If you can see your carrier listed, it's not a live demo unit. Those things have no baseband chip.
cant see my carrier but can call emergency services would that mean that there is a baseband chip or modem ?

Do a refurbishment check of your phone using that app. And see what it says.
Hi
it tells me that the serial number appears to be 00000000000.
for better results check sticker behind battery
so i did it says "it looks like your phone is a refurbished one
WARNING: your phone does not match with serial number
WARNING: your phone does not have hardware revision information.
NOTE: The knox warranty has been tripped

Oh. Can you share ScreenShots from the PhoneInfo app.?
Depending on the above statement "it looks like your phone is a refurbished one", "your phone does not match with serial number" and "your phone does not have hardware revision information". I think your phone is refurbished, which means it might be a live demo unit.

You tripped the Knox?
I guess you are right. It seems to be a live demo unit.
Because some fields are missing like Country of Origin, Original CSC code, Samsung Serial number and Hardware revision.
This guy @vndnguyen can put some more light on this.

Since your phone has imei number, it is not a live demo unit, as a demo unit does not have imei.
But your phone is the refurbished one, as the hardware has been changed and modified.
Can you show a picture (hi-resolution) of the Back Sticker (under the battery) for further checking?

If you use the menu > Other Tools > S/N Decoder to decode the S/N on the back sticker, the manufacturing date is January 2014.
While the manufacturing date in the phone is 10/2013.
That means the phone's mainboard has been replaced, I think.
I thought when you boot a demo unit, it show the Note 3 words then underneath it says demo unit?

Hi
i think it usually does say demo unit but if another rom has been flashed then that must take it away
but if i call the emergency services (999 uk) then does that mean its not a demo because it must have the necessary
internal parts to connect to mobile network ?

Refurbished and China seems Frankestein.
If it's a Frankenstein as Joku1981 suggests, run, don't walk, and get your money back.

what can i do now please help me. i upload pic about samsung info.
It's clearly not a Frankenstein, so that's good news. What carrier are you using?
In the first pic at the last line you can read imei cert:NA that mean that your phone has loose its imei certificat.
so you can return it and have your money back or give it to a sepecialized shop to push a new certificat with a box
PS: i have an i9500 and mine show : Imei cert: fail
@sentinelle20: "IMEI Certi: NA" is normal on the S4. I can confirm this because my S4 has the same readout and yet it works perfectly. On the S5 it may make a difference. See here for details.
Ok ggod to know...
in my working i9500 the last line says imei cert : pass

yes my sim work,s fine in any phone , i tried many sim in my phone but result is same. please tell me why some time phone work properly ? do you think its a hardware problem? because i upgrade its room many time but same result.
If you've tried multiple SIM cards in the S4 and all of them aren't working, then you definitely have a hardware issue. Either the SIM card tray has died or the fault lies in the motherboard. From experience, replacing the SIM card tray is both the least expensive route and the easiest, being something that you can do yourself. Replacement trays cost about US$10, a small phillips screwdriver, a half hour of your time, and the foam pad that sits on top of the connector of the original tray.
You purchased this as a refurb unit however, so you should have a warranty of some sort. Take it back to where you got it from and have them look at it.

Well, I answer, because my hands have been several of these units, the problem is not the software, you do not have the GSM antenna or the connector to put it. This would not be problem, but after looking at the schemes of components (for parts) also lacks several things more. I am not an expert in electronics but identify when things are missing.
PS: I have photos of the board of these units, besides that there are also more at XDA one is asking ... and there are several versions, some without sim and SD port, no other wireless controller.
But everyone is missing the antenna. Even that does not solve anything I think.

Post a picture of "About tablet" with MCU and firmware information.
Otherwise there is no help possible.
BTW... As we don´t know which exact unit you bought, you need to deliver the information if there is a SIM-slot available or are you using a USB stick with SIM?
