check your imei matches what it should be. failing that go back the shop you bought from and kick off. knox being 0x1 in the uk is not reason enough for them to decline warranty

That;s not reason enough? I live in the UK, My Knox is 0x1 it would be handy to know how to fight this in the shop, or failing that samsung.
I'm Vodafone uk as well. ... and I have been thinking about using region lock away. ...But I wasn't sure about it. .. Lucky I didn't now. .. Hope you can sort it out mate
Have you tried flashing the stock MJ7 firmware and/or flashing the modem again. ..
I couldn't Flash the vodagone firmware and I tripped knock trying to. ... But should be able to flag the MJ7

Hey Guys,
My friend just got a Note 3 from UAE. He just wants to know whether he can flash an Indian firmware via package. I mean he wants to know whether it'll cause any issues with Knox or something. Thanks

Stock rom flashing will not void warranty, India has already kitkat for SM-N 900, for UAE only God knows when it will arrive, any how warranty is only for UAE so nothing to worry.

Yeah that won't be a problem. But just in case, could you send me link on how to flash?
Also to flash via Odin, do I need to disable Knox like when the S4 users do while rooting?
Just flash the file via Odin - no need to disable KNOX or play with it or you'll trip it.

If u are going for clean install & clearing data & catch from recovery(recomonded) before flash knox disable is not requierd but disable reactivation lock, download latest firmware from sammobile.com,make sure kies not running while using odin, disable any antivirus also, Clear data & catch after flash is better also,u can search for Dr.ketan in this forum for more reading guied how to flash, I m not very good in writing.
Okay hi XDA. im new to this forum.. today i got my Samsung S5 though the post.... now i live in the United kingdom.. now i got this phone from ebay.... its legit. not a fake or anything.. but the thing is...

You have a mix firmware, as your baseband is from G900T but PDA is from G900F...
I don't think your phone is brand new, as it has been rooted and installed custom rom.
You can get almost all key info about your phone with this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★
Go to Menu > 'Refurbishment Check' to see if your phone is a original one or has been refurbished.

The real question here, is how did they flash a custom rom without tripping knox? Could you upload a picture of your bootloader? This would be really interesting to see. If this is true, there must be a way to reset knox.

You are going to hate me for this.... but i installed a philz so i could revert the phone back to a odex stock rom... and i tripped it
You can allways go buy the phone from the ebay guy i got it from... it comes stock with allience and stock recovery..
i was confused at first. because i used to own a S4 MINI LTE and the only way to flash a custom rom onto the phone was VIA clockwork recovery etc.....
SO i have no idea... maybe the manifacutre knows and has not told a single soul.. ahahahah

Open your S Health application, touch the menu that is at top left corner, then, touch to "coach". Complete the rest.
The problem is that i there is no coach icon. !
That why i need some help.
Ok either you need to edit your Csc because it depends on location or install this xposed mod

If you flash full rom(your friends csc) downloaded from sammobile.com u don't need csc separately.
Are you rooted? If you are it's a very simple fix. The coach in shealth is location dependant. If you flash a btu firmware through odin then you should get it without tripping knox

I mean you want a generic rom unbranded. I thought btu was the Csc for generic unbranded phones. Other than using odin to flash a rom that has coach enabled I think you may well have to root

Now I got unknown baseband and null imei, is there other way how to know which firmware I need to flash to get my baseband and imei back.

that is happened to me last year but the solution is changed the original IMEI in order to get back the baseband. because there is a possibility that your IMEI is blocked in samsung.

As long as it's an n9005 you can flash firmware for any country. There are certain limitations off course such as do not flash HongKong firmware, do not flash older firmware than the current one and a few others.
How many firmware have you flash to recover your imei?. Flashing stock firmware would bring the imei back but off course not all the time. Try the latest one from sammobile

The IMEI is under the battery. Phone INFO Samsung from Play should give you some info about the phone itself. There are several ways to retrieve an original IMEI and EFS - do a search and see what comes up. But flashing Stock SHOULD work - if you have a HK phone it's awkward because they seem to have different PIT files.
Hi guys
I have run into little problem that I'm hoping learned members here can help me with.
I have a Note 3 SM-9005 that was running Kitkat 4.4.2 and I got it updated to 5.0 from a mobile repair guy. Everything looked smooth until I got home and noticed that now the WiFi does not work anymore. It always stays greyed out and never turns on.
I have tried turning on download booster, smartswitch, nothing helps. I have wiped cache, wipe data / factory reset but that's of no help.
Can you please help me get my WiFi working again.
Many thanks.
Cheers
Boot into download to confirm that the model # is sm-n9005. Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem?

Should a reinstall be enough? Can you guide me which file should I flash in case the phone was flashed with a wrong firmware previously?
Wondering if following screenshots are of any help figuring out what's up with the firmware update mishap?

That's the UK version isn't it? Should I just grab that file and use Odin to flash right?
Would it be compatible with my phone which has a UAE version installed currently?
Ok just checked. It looks to be the Phillipines/Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand version. With some of them branded. Not sure which one I should be picking up?
The stock ROM may be slightly different for each country but you can try the latest Singapore version.

Will it trip Knox? As I would be putting a SIN firmware on a XSI (UAE) handset?
Flashing a stock rom will not trip Knox.
Personally, unless there is warranty left on the phone, I wouldn't worry about tripping the Knox counter.

Thanks for your reply.
I have also just noticed that the WiFi hotspot (tethering) doesn't work either.
I downloaded the latest XSI (UAE) firmware and installed it using Odin. But the problem still persists.
Should I try downloading and installing a Singapore firmware?
Is there a possibility that this phone is actually a carrier branded phone and was later debranded and that's why it's having this problem?
Please help life is difficult without Wifi
Does Bluetooth work? It's possible that the phone has a defective wifi chip. I have two galaxy s4 phones that have dead wifi chips but everything else works.
You can try flashinga another country's firmware but not sure if that will help.
Do you have a backup of the efs folder?

Yes the bluetooth works.
The phone's WiFi was working fine before being updated to Lollipop.
No I got it updated from a phone repair guy before I got my hands dirty and put the new firmware my self. So no efs folder backup, unfortunately.
Hmm without knowing what the repair person did to the phone or how the update was performed, it's possible something went wrong during the flash process. Does the phone show the correct imei and MAC address?

He did it in front of me and from memory I can tell that he took a firmware file and used a software (probably Odin) to flash it in download mode.
The phone does show the correct IMEI as written under the battery spot and in device info does show a WiFi mac addresd however I'm unsure how to verify if that may be the correct one.
I have browsed Google and found few other people's posts on different forums who have this exact same problem. Someone suggested that I should reflash the firmware with bootloader checked using Odin.
Do you think it may be of help?
I have just discovered that the serial number on the back of the phone under battery is different from what is reported by the device.
Does this give any hint to what may be the issue?
