[Q] Updated to MJ7, network problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Bought an N9005 3 weeks ago. It used to work fine. Last week I updated the firmware to XXUDMJ7 OTA. Interesting enough, the modem/baseband got also updated to XXUDMJ7 (from MJ3 if I remember correctly). The weird thing SamMobile doesn't have an MJ7 firmware with MJ7 CSC.
Anyhow, since the update last week, I started to get funny error "Not registered on network" every few hours. Apparently, if I go to indoor with weak signal area then go back to outdoor, the phone shows this error. It won't register back to the network.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Any idea how to solve it?
Cheers,
Abdul

I cant find any differences at all actually, the offset for the S-Pen is there still and everything else works just as it did with the previous 4.2.2

Ill post my findings in the thread.
I am assuming you are talking about the browser bug? That was an issue with chrome's zoom being inaccurate on, frankly, every Galaxy Note up until now. They fixed it recently.

'H+' vs 'H' Icon
Hi
Just flashed this ROM on my HK Note N5120 LTE (CSC Was TGY). The device came from Panamoz.com as I was struggling to buy the LTE version sim free in the UK for reasonable money, and Kies was not offering to upgrade the stock 4.1.2 firmware to 4.2.2.
Used this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44241666&postcount=4
All worked fine, Answered 'No' when asked about making CWM recovery permanent. The CSC became BTU (UK) after the flash. CWM recovery was replaced with stock during the flash.
Since I am in the UK, I flashed the modem files that came with the ROM, and still get 4G. I have the same issue as everyone else regarding the S-Pen offset - probably not bad enough to flash back to 4.1.2 for me, but hopefully Samsung will fix.
My main issue is that compared to 4.1.2, I hardly ever see the device show 'H+', only 'H'. I travel the same route on the train daily, and now, I see 'H+' 10% of the time rather than 90% of the time. My other device on the same network still shows H+.
Maybe others have seen my 'H' vs 'H+' issue?
Does this device support DC-HSPA?? I recall that with the S3 and Note2, one gained DC-HSPA+42 (so called 3.75G theoretical max 42Mbps), when one bought the LTE version of the phone. The non LTE versions only had HSPA+21. Reason I am asking is I am wondering if the 'H+' now only shows for DC-HSPA rather than for HSPA+21 ??
Tempted to flash the old modem files again, see if my H+ returns to normal operation - and of course to see if its any faster.
My device is still rooted with the flash counter == 2, and It does still appear to be recognized by kies when connected to the PC. Time will tell whether I will get updates via Kies still. If not then maybe I will need to use Triangle to reset the flash counter, and then do a full unroot.

Just got mine from the same place. Your post has helped me with some questions I had. Thanks.:good:
No OTA For me
So, the next stage was to run Triangle away, which worked fine (counter reset to 'No'). Just be brave and accept the big red warning.
Following on from that, I unrooted using the unroot option in Super User app that was installed by chainfire's 'auto root'.
This worked too, and I confirmed root gone. After a reboot, I reconnected to Kies, to check that it recognized the firmware on the device as the 'latest'. It was.
I then tried the 'Software Update' option under Settings->about device, unfortunately, this no longer works it just says 'connecting to server' forever and eventually comes up with a message: 'your device has been modified, software updates are not available'. So No OTA for me.
Any idea how to get OTA working again??
Here is the screenshot from the downloading screen, showing 'official' for all the firmwares on the device. Could it have something to do with the CSC? (TGY on 4.1.2 and BTU on 4.2.2) ?
http://photos.veletron.com/index.php/album151/P1070688
If I goto Settings-->About Device-->Status, and wait an age while the 'Device Status' field updates, it reports 'custom'. I guess this is why, but how come given that the 'download' screen reports as per the above screen shot?!
Prior to running Triangle Away, and unrooting, the OTA check on the device, span for a while before reporting no new updates available.

I can not say anything about the OTAupdates since I never use Kies to update, but as for the modem, I am running the "old" 4.1.2 modem and it is working well for me, tho I have not compared my note now and before in regards to how ofteni see H+ or just H, most often I see the 4G icon where I usually hang out.
But I would try the 4.1.2 modem for your region and see if it changes anything.
Sent from Galaxy no. N5120 via the LTE-network
Got mine updated to 4.2.2 yesterday.
Not sure why but my battery life seemed to have taken a hit since upgrading.
On 4.1.2 i used to be able to last a day easily with about 30 - 40% left each day (7am till 9pm). after updating to 4.2.2 I am down to 30% in 5 hrs. Tab gets hotter too. Anyone experience the same issue?
I am back on 4.1.2 for now. Everything's good again.
thanks man for update.
Just for info
After the update to 4.2.2 Mh1 by flashing the firmware here, I never got OTA again (says device status custom). Stock rom and flash counter zero. I was however able to update to MH2 via kies. I am still told device status custom!
No difference for me re pen pointer offset on MH1/MH2 not sure Samsung will ever bother to fix this.
My device now BTU but it started as Hong Kong. I suspect this is why it reckons it's "custom".

I have the same device but not the same problem. I also updated to MH2 via Odin and my status is normal. The offset for me is much better than previous, and I have no problem with the battery lasting more than a day using WiFi and push mail along with the normal use. However although recognized by Kies it would not update, I recon because of the CSC.

Hey,

Has anybody else have this problem?
Is they any way to fix it?
I upgraded the rom using the odin version 1.85 had the tick in auto reboot and F. Rest time and I ticked PDA and put the md5 file on the pda line where I placed the tick is that all correct or should I've used a different version?
Please can anybody help me.
Thanks

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THAAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOU! (if it didn't look and/or feel weird, I'd kiss you! *LOL* I wouldn't it was a joke)
BUT you saved my stupid self from self pity. You see, I didn't realize - until too late - that there were 3 versions of this device, and attempted to install a 5110 ROM. That caused me 5 DAYS of hell until I cam across this, and voila! I got my tablet back. So again - TANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Great post. I feel your joy
THere is a newer version. Does anyone know how we can go from JDQ39.N5120XXCMH2 to the new JDQ39.N5120XXCMI2 version?
My phone also says custom like Nigels problem above, I am having same problem that he was having when he first went to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1... I'm currently on 4.2.2 trying to go to the new CMI2.

[Q] Cant update android

I have a GSS4 i9505.
it is unrooted/100% stock, as I do not wish to muck around with any of that just incase the worst happens and it needs to go back to repair again i'd feel safer knowing that its device status remains Official.
about 6 months ago it went back to optus for repair as the battery had swollen leading to problems.... when i got it back the repair slip said, replaced battery, tested phone - no issues, updated to latest firmware.....
which i thought to be weird as i thought i was on 4.2.2 already.
anyway... Optus has now finally released their version of android 4.3... except when i go into phone settings and click update.. it says i am already running the latest version... when i connect to Kies via USB it says "your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"
in Kies i get
PDA:MDE - PHONE:MD8 - CSC:MD6 (OPS)
when i do *#1234# i get
AP: I9505XXUAMDE
CP: I9505DVUAMD8
CSC: I9595OPSAMD6
i have no idea what any of that means
would i be correct in assuming that since i have never mucked around with roms,etc and the only time anything like that has happened was when it went back to optus for repair.... that optus stuffed something up and that why i cant update ?
If you are sure to be fully stock and unrooted, then maybe kies is gone crazy.
You can manually update your phone by using odin and the last official firmware available on sammobile. (I see that for Australia(Optus) it's the 4.3 MK8)

*NOTICE TO OP
Using this method will trigger KNOX warranty void
cheers.... i had thought of odin but as mentioned about, figured that it'd probably void warranty which i would like to avoid as knowing my luck the screen would all of a sudden stop working and i'd have no way of re-official'ing it.
might just have to take it into optus and get them to update it themselves.

[FIXED] [S4 I9505] I have to update modem to fix CM11 issue, but there's no update.

Issue fixed. Updated to XXUGNG8.
Issue: network disconnects when I lock my screen, which results a phone being useless a brick on sleep.
Issue link: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5379
Solution: update firmware/modem/bootloader.
Solution issue: there's no available firmware update for my device.
Hey everybody,
You guys probably have heard that newer version of Cyanogenmod have issues with network. It seems like there's only way to fix it is updating modem and bootloader.
I have international i9505 with baseband of XXUAME2. I looked it up on Samsung firmware database and it turned out that it is for Russia and last update was in May 2013 and for Android 4.2.2.... the catch is that it's made for i9500. I don't know if it's a mistake or not, database said so.
I bought it last year from some sketchy shop for low, low price in Russia and phone was in french language and was made for french carrier. It doesn't matter because phone works perfectly fine and I wiped it clean by flashing it to Cyanogenmod.
Now recently I just moved to USA, using T-Mobile prepaid plan with my international I9505. There wasn't any issues using Russian baseband until Cyanogenmod updated.
I tried looking for USA T-Mobile baseband firmware for my device but there's nothing to be found. I tried looking for Russia's update for my device. Nothing found, just XXUAME2 that was last updated in May 2013.
How can I fix this new Cyanogenmod issue? People keep saying that updating their firmware fixed the issue, but I can't update my device. What should I do? Should I update to T-Mobile baseband if it's available?
Thanks a lot.
Issue fixed. Updated to XXUGNG8.

Help with network signal loss

2 S4. Both running the same rom. Both running the same kernel. Both have the latest firmware (according to sammobile). They are both International versions.
The only difference is: One was bought from Germany and one from Romania. The German S4 belongs to a friend. The other one is mine.
The problem started this morning-noon. Last night, around 8 PM, I flashed the latest GPE build by Danvdh, with the latest Googy-Max kernel on both devices.
They both worked fine since first boot. But the German S4 started acting up today. It randomly lost network signal.
My S4 works fine. Haven't lost signal or anything.
I can't explain why this happens. Or why it didn't happen until today, around noon.
Someone in the rom thread suggested it might be a firmware/modem issue.
Well.. Firstly: It worked fine with previous builds.
Secondly: Why would it work during the night but in the morning it fails?
Thirdly: It already has the latest firmware..
I thought about a re-flashing the rom. But not until I hear some more opinions

About stock firmware update problem....

Hi, everybody, I'm a note 4 user from Malaysia, had been using it since it first came to the market. When I bought the 1st note 4 of mine, it's black, and from Malaysia Samsung shop. Later my girl friend got a pink one, from a neighboring country, Singapore. Then we both swap it and using it in Malaysia, with Malaysia's telco Sim cards. Recently, my girl friend note 4 (from Malaysia), got some official update for the OS, by OTA, from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1, and the newest is 6.0.1. She did update to 5.1.1, but stay at it and didn't up to 6.0.1 due to a lot of negative comments about it. On the other hand, the note 4 that I'm using(from Singapore), still stuck with 5.0.1, since the day we swapped. I did on the OTA, but I didn't get any notification about update for my phone. I tried to do manual update checking, by going into setting > system > about device > software update > update now, in case I might have miss the notification while I ran out of range of data, but yet I still a get nothing on it,it just show that the firmware had been update to the latest. At first this doesn't bother me much. But nowadays, my phone started to get wacky, and started to get randomly reboot. I was thinking an update to the firmware might help solve the problem. I did went to samfirmware and check out the newest firmware for my phone and I found that there is an update to 5.1.1 for it, so I try using OTA again to try to update but it failed, the result still say my phone is on the latest update, whereas my phone was still on 5.0.1. I wonder what went wrong with it. Here's my question :
1. Why can't my note 4(from Singapore) do an OTA update? Do I really need a Singapore Sim card to do the update?
2. I know how to flash using Odin, but I heard that many people do a factory reset after flashing new firmware, is this really needed? Cause in the old days, I just do simple flashing and straight forward using the phone(android before note 4) with out doing any factory reset after it.
3. How is the newest 6.0.1 getting along with note 4, need some expert opinions on it.
Sorry for the long story and bad English, I'm trying to keep it short and clear so that you can read them clearly and understand my question, thank you for any answer in advance.
