No thanks I got Official Nodo
Though would be interested to see if there are any firmware updates.
The screen flickering and slow rotation fixes

thank you but if it's nodo rom nobody is interesting except people who have developer account (chevron don't work on nodo...)

You're right...if you want to unlock your phone (and don't have an official dev account) this ROM cannot be used. I do wonder if there is any difference when you use the I8700XENJK1 ROM and officially update to NoDo...or when you use this ROM directly (radio version? Other differences?). Anyone care to test this ?

Its not that Id be the first one to test it if i had a way to back up all my game saves...Right i dont even have my phone dev unlocked cause that hape of crap chevron wont even work.

Same here. Only phone was updated. PDA and CSC remained the same.

You should feel lucky, you've been able to update the firmeware. Really, changing that CSC and PDA means that you are already at NODO and untill now there is no jailbreak for that. Besides there is a way to do with that CSC its just we don't want it yet, you know what I mean.

So this means firmware and radio is the same and only OS got updated?

No, its the other way around.

Lol this is just what the Omnia 7 needs... some more unknown firmware.
If your phone actually works i'd steer clear of flashing anything from Samsung... Maybe unfair but i'm smarting from having the dodgy bootloader.

I tried again and use this files:
Signed__Cetus_Europe_KB2_Phone.bin
Signed__Cetus_Europe_KC1_Eboot.eb0
Signed__Cetus_Europe_KC1_PDA.nb0
signed_CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700DBTJK1.csc
Now PDA, Phone and CSC were updated:
PDA: I8700XXKC1
Phone: I8700XXKB2
CSC: I8700DBTJK1

What do the different parts do?
Eboot ist the bootloader.
What do the other 3 stand for?
If I flash to JK1 firmware, unlock with chevron and then update phone and eboot to KB2/KC1, will I have an unlocked NODO with latest firmware or only parts of the latest firmware?
Has anyone who flashed the new ROM noticed any differences yet?
EDIT:
Just read this on mobiletechworld:
- The capacitive buttons are now disabled if the screen is touched so that you can no longer accidentally exist an app/game while playing (this feature is also present in the latest Samsung Focus firmware).

I guess this will be in the PDA part.

Where did you get the last file? There are only three files in the zip. Oh i get it now

i just flashed my omnia :
the OS version after flashing is 7389 (i got 7392 before) , but as i connected it to zune, update notification showed up (post nodo, 7392, i am updating right now)
another difference i notice : different default lock screen picture.... yay ... less appealing tho..it is...a desert

Yes you will, I tested it with my stock rom, I just flashed the firmware only and not the whole ROM

So anyway to flash this and keep all the data?

Does it mean I do have to include the older JK1 CSC in order to flash PDA and Phone ? Will it update Phone only if I dont?
I really hope samsung addressed the reception issues (silence during calls) and stutter during audio playback. It is strange this newer firmware was not included with NODO delivered by MSFT, after all the rollout began two months later.

so if i flash this
Signed__Cetus_Europe_KB2_Phone.bin
Signed__Cetus_Europe_KC1_Eboot.eb0
Signed__Cetus_Europe_KC1_PDA.nb0
signed_CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700DBTJK1.csc
I keep the OS and jsut update firmware?

no, as far as i understand it, the CSC goes hand in hand with the .bin, so leave the csc out and you will only update bootloader/radio and OS will remain unchanged.

[Q] Phone now network locked.

So I had cyanogenmod running on my gt-i9505 for a while with everything working aprart from camera so I decided to go back to stock and used this website to get the files for it sammobile I used odin to flash it and now whenever I load any rom the stock or cyanogenmod I get a pop up saying that It needs a network unlock code, I am wondering if anyone knows why this is and how to fix it.

Fixed!
I managed to "update via kies" but this did not work so I took the files that Kies downloaded and flashed them manuially with odin and now everything is back to normal, pretty weird what happened, but I am all happy.
I could provide a link to the files from my dropbox but I have not reached 10 posts yet so if anyone wants to they can pm me for the link and I will send it to them to post here.

it might have to do with regional locking what firmware do you have ?

As I said before I have now managed to solve this problem. This is the firmware I flashed then the problems started happening.
United Kingdom BTU (April 2013)
PDA: I9505XXUAMDM
CSC: I9505OXXAMDB
Version 4.2.2
I then done as said in the previous post, The filename of the one that fixed it when I flashed is.

[Q] N9005 "No Service" need help to troubleshoot

Hey All,
I got a Note 3 N9005, which supposedly was purchased in UAE.
Currently trying to use it in India, but, the device always says "No Service", with a crossed circle instead of network signal icon on notification bar.
Phone is on 4.2.2 with UGNH1. Below are some observations:
- Phone does NOT ask for any PIN / Unlock Code.
- In Settings > Status.. irrespective of any SIM, or no SIM.. Mobile Network Type = Unknown, Service State= Out of service, Mobile Network State=Disconnected.
- Orig CSC code is displayed as XTC from Phone Info App
- Tried to select a different CSC from CSC Select app.. it changed the boot logo but, network status.. still crossed circle
- IMEI is proper as printed below the battery
- Still i tried ChainFire's RegionLockAway. But, as expected, the method is only for MI7 / MJ1 / MJ3 JB versions. Sadly mine has already crossed and has A2 bootloader. So, no change was observed with CF RegionLockAway. Reverted the cahnges.
- Tried to flash MJ1 / MJ3 binaries from sammobile. As expected the latest bootloader won't allow to downgrade.
- Flashed Omega, but for no luck. Still no service and crossed circle icon.
- Flashed latest CyanogenMod. Though there was no Crossed Circle icon, there was an icon of network signal with zero network.
- Flashed official Lollipop verson to see if any changes.. no luck. Reverted back.
- Installed advanced network info app, network status, neighboring MSC, cells.. etc was shown as none.
No clue how to enable the device's network capabilities (all else like WiFi and other feature work as usual).
It will be a great help if you can guide me through! Please let me know if any other info is required.
Thanks a lot in advance. !!

Purchased in UAE doesn't necessarily it was a UAE phone. Phone Info Samsung from Play Store can tell you where it is from.
What I would do is...
Download the firmware from Sammobile to suit your phone. One fairly common issue is that Hong Kong or Chinese phones get sold into Europe or other markets and their PIT and other partitions are different. So first thing is to go back to scratch.
If you phone IS from where you think, make sure you have the stock firmware for that location and flash the latest version using Odin and Download mode.
Start Odin - v3.09 is best.
To enter DL mode for anything to do with BL or Modem you MUST turn phone off. It is best to remove the battery and wait a while, then put it in and use the Power On+Vol-Down+Home key to get into DL mode, then [plug phone into PC and wait for Odin to notice it is there.
(if Odin doesn't notice it, get the latest Samsung USB drivers for the phone and install them with phone unplugged, then plug in phone and Windows should give a pop-up)
Click on AP in Odin and navigate to where you saved the firmware - note you DL'd a zip but you need the md5 file so use 7zip to unpack the zip.
Click on the md5 file and wait for it to load into Odin.
* [Auto Reboot] and [F.Reset Time] should be the ONLY things ticked.
Click [Start] and wait.
Let phone restart and set it up with your details. Once done see if you have network.

Thanks Journyman16 for the quickreply.
I installed the "Phone Info Samsung" app as you mentioned and found the phone's CSC code is XTC! (= Philippines (Open Line))!!
Thanks for the hint. I will download the latest firmware from sammobile for n98005 for XTC and check. Will be back with updates in some time.

Update:
Flashed below 3 stock firmwares from sammobile, each time cleared cache and factory wipe.. still the crossed circle is hopelessly adamant and persistent.
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNH1
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNI4
4.3 N9005XXUDMJ7 (failed to flash, i guess due to current bootloader version A3)
I tried with Odin 3.09.3 & 3.10.6 & 3.07 .... same result.
Any suggestions? please share.. I'm ok to soft brick the phone Recovered from boot loop few times
Any further suggestions? Please share.. Shall i give a try with full wipe (/system/ folder wipe) with TWRP ? Or any other thing ?!

Tried a different sim card ??
Checked APN settings .
Checked you have modem/ baseband via settings .

They are old stock ROMs - how sure are you the phone wasn't updated to the new version of BL? I'm not sure if you're on the new version and then try to downgrade it, which version you will see in Phone Info but check it. There's also a phone # code to use that returns the basics for the phone, but I can't recall if you said you get calls or not and I'm heading for bed. Think the code is something like *#12334#* - google for secret smartphone codes.

Hi JJEgan, thanks for your suggestions..
I tried with different SIM, yet no luck.
APN settings.. shows my SIM operator's default settings.
When I search networks Manually.. it searches for a ~10 seconds and returns without any list/error.
Select automatically shows "Automatic registration.." progress continuously for > 5 mins.. i closed manually.

Yea Journyman16, they seem to be still good old of 4.4.2. Latest must be 5.0. On samobile, for XTC i could see only till 4.4.2. Maybe for this phone version, there are no updates? Not sure.
And, yes, sadly BL is updated to A3. Which I could see in Recovery mode's REV line. (if it was A1, I could have flashed MI7 and tried RegionLockAway.. )
*#1234# gives the below info:

Any heads up ?!

/system/csc/GLB/system/csc/customer.xml has a line:
<NbNetworkLock>1</NbNetworkLock>
Which ChainFire's RegionLockAway changes to
<NbNetworkLock>0</NbNetworkLock>.. but as mentioned in it's details, the method is compatible only with MI7, MJ1, MJ3 firmwares and i'm on UGNH1 and unable to downgrade

I'd upgrade rather than try to get around the downgrade issues. What Region do you WANT to have? European ones seem to get early release of upgrades - e.g. many LP ROMs are based around the Polish release.
I don't know enough to interpret logs, but my thought would be to find a non-Philippines version (one of the Europe ones perhaps) and find a PIT file for that one. Then go read up on how to safely flash a new PIT. Then flash your preferred firmware and follow the root process etc.
I started with a HK version of S3 - every time I tried to flash a new ROM it failed and bricked my phone. Eventually I found that the PIT file on most Asian phones was different and I flashed PIT, then stock FW for the region I wanted then re-rooted and flashed the custom ROM.
Read many time, flash once, OK? I do not make bricks, nor need them, so I will not accept them delivered to my door...

There's a Euro PIT on the link at This Post - I checked and the dropbox is still valid. It's 4.4.2 so could be just what you need.
Now you probably want an India ROM but I haven't any links for that 0 there's a thread for India users though I think.
What I think might be happening is that different countries use different frequencies and formats for signal. It might be that India's set up simply doesn't work with the modem you've been using and the India ROM will not set up with the Asian PIT set up etc.
But read up on the process first, OK? The more you know about it the better chance you have to recover from anything going wrong.
Also, I presume from your OP that the phone NEVER worked once you got it? Do you know for a fact it worked prior to that? Maybe you're chasing solutions for a faulty hardware issue?

Hi Journyman16, thanks for the suggestions.. i tried the pit file you referred, but, still no luck. And, if i'm not wrong pit file is all about allocating ROM space for /system & /dbdata and has nothing to deal with the antenna/telephony module, please correct if i'm not right.
About the phone's status yea you're right. It never worked after i received it. But, it was working usually in UAE, as per the info i got. Maybe.. as you suspected.. it might be faulty hardware too.. I don't know.. just exploring the options.. to conclude something..

The only unbranded NH1's seem to be Greece or Netherlands. Netherlands has a 5.0 - maybe DL that and flash in Odin? Greece has a v5.0 but it's branded with (EUR) so I don't know if that's a company or general... I'd go the Netherlands one.
Other than that, I'm not sure - might be time to get the phone checked properly?

Finally.. could trace the root cause.. antenna / receiver chip malfunction. So, it was an hardware issue that had to be replaced at a cost at service center.
Summary: If network icon is crossed circle, its not a good sign !! Thanks

Usual is wrong IMEI .

[Q] Fake IMEI/not registered on network GT-I9500

Hello!
I've been searching all around about this problem, but I've not found nothing useful. I hope you can help me.
I downgraded my phone flashing a Custom Rom. Unfortunately I did not backup EFS folder before doing that, because only after I got the problem, I saw that it should have been backed up. Now my phone has a fake IMEI (after I managed to fix it. At the beginning was null/null) and I have no carrier service. It says "Not registered on network" every time I try to make a call. Now I upgraded again to the latest firmware, but still fake IMEI and not registered on network. My question is: is there any possibility to restore my original IMEI? If not, can I get registered on network with a fake IMEI? My phone details are:
Samsung Galaxy S4
Model number: GT-I9500
Baseband Version: I9500ZCUCMH1
Kernel Version: 3.4.5-3943544 [email protected] #1
Build number: LRX22C.I9500XXUHOA7
I hope in your help!
Best regards,
mfo12002

IMEI is no longer stored in the EFS folder but in hidden partitions on the device. Restore your Android 4.2.2 stock ROM and see if your IMEI is restored using that, as your baseband didn't change from Android 4.2.2 though the rest of the firmware did.

I think also my baseband changed when I downgraded it for the first time. Baseband was unknown. Then after I upgraded again, it became the one I posted here. I've also searched in samsung-updates site for stock roms but the problem is I cannot find my region stock rom. Is there any problem if I download a stock rom of a different region?
Best regards,
mfo12002

Please post the following information:
1. Model Number
2. Android Version, found by going to Settings > More > About device.
3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing Phone Info from the Play Store and running it.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)
Downloading a ROM from a different region is not a good idea unless the phone is carrier unlocked, so by providing all this information in one post, even if you've already given some of it, will make it easier for me to help.

1. Model Number: GT-I9500
2. Android Version: 5.0.1
3. Firmware Version: AP=I9500XXUHOA7 ; CP=I9500ZCUCMH1 ; CSC=I9500SERHOA7
4. Service Provider: VODAFONE
5. Country: Albania
6. Is the phone rooted: Yes
7. Is a custom ROM installed: I think yes, but I don't know where to find the name.

Try this ROM instead. It's a later version of the one you're currently using. It's unbranded, so you should have no issues with carrier-added bloatware.

It still have the same problem. Not registered on network whenever I try to make a call and the notification "No service. Selected network not available" in the up-left corner.

Unless someone else on the forum has an idea I haven't thought of, have Samsung look at it. The IMEI in your S4 appears to be irretrievably gone.

Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F) losing mobile signal and gps after Marshmallow update

After updating to Android 6.0.1, the phone is randomly losing mobile and gps signal. It happens about 30-40 times a day, especially when moving around, like driving . Almost every time I look at my phone, I see "No service, network not found" or "gps lost" messages. After about 10 seconds, the signal comes back and everything is ok again. Very annoying and impossible to use navigation apps, like Waze and Google Maps. I have made a soft reset, a hard reset, wiped all data and cleared the phone cache, checked and cleaned the Sim card. Nothing helps. Before update the phone worked brilliantly. Also noticed, that the signal won't drop when using wifi, the problem occurs only when data connection is on. And I'm not the only one, I have 2 friends with the same phone and the same problem. Looks like a software issue. Can somebody help?
PS. I'm from Estonia, and the software version is G901FXXU1CPE1/G901FBAL1CPE1
Thank you in advance...

Hi mate,
I Have the same device although mine uses a custom ROM but the problem I experienced was exactly like yours
Samsung released a new issue of the 6.0.1 for our phone, PDA G901FXXU1CPF6 CSC G901FPHN1CPF2 you can login to the sammobile site and download it
As I said above I have a custom ROM so I only flashed the modem firmware from that release and worked fine after that!
Hope that will help you!

Thanks for your response! But I'm using a totally stock phone and I see, that this firmware is for Netherlands. Does it work on my phone or I have to wait until the Baltic version is released?

Hello,
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work but just in case make a note of your Access point name settings in the mobile networks tab just to make sure that everything is the same after you flash the new release .
If you follow the steps as described in the sammobile site you won't have any problems.
What I have noticed however is that after I flashed the new modem firmware the mobile hotspot does not work anymore but this has to do with my custom ROM.
It worth trying though the performance of the phone after that is exceptional and the signal strength is higher than before and most importantly, doesn't crash anymore..
Let me know if you need help and keep me posted about your results!

i had that ROM for a while, didnt help in my case, still same issue. I'm currently on XXU1CPG3 with which the issue still persists, gonna try flashing the new TPD CSC ROM (currently the newest) ROM Version CPH9. My baseband is still CPE1, which do you guys have?

Latest official firmware from where? ("latest" is region dependent)
Ok, the cph firmware updated the baseband to cph, on my side it's only been a while 14 hrs since flashing but it seems the signal problem is finally fixed

From what I understand it doesn't matter which ROM you are using the baseband is the one that causing this problem..
As I said I have a custom ROM and when I had the CPE1 baseband then I had all these problems.
If you flashed the ROM and your baseband is still CPE1 then something did not go per plan I think..
After flashing ONLY the modem firmware from the CPF6 release to my SMG901F is reported that the baseband version is CPG2 however..
This version works for sure..
I might try the CPH9 release now to see if the issues i have with the mobile hotspot will be solved

I'll try to install that CPH9 release too. Let's see what happens, because I have tried everything else.
To me it seems, that this CPE1 version is having problems with switching between network modes. I checked, that in Settings- Mobile networks- Network mode is set to LTE/3G/2G (automatic connect), but I haven't seen H+, H or Edge symbols on top of the screen. Only 4G/4G+ or no reception at all. Like it's locked in 4G network or something. And sometimes when there is no 4G network coverage, there is also no signal. But that is just my logic...

Ok, I flashed the latest CPH9 firmware and my baseband changed to CPH3. CSC Country turned to Netherlands instead of Baltic. And it seems that the issue is fixed!
I made a little test, I went to the cellar to get bad 4G reception and instead of showing No Service, 4G turned to H without losing the cell signal. Let's wait and see...
Thank you guys a lot for your help! :good:

Hi
1) I have the latest PHN version for SM-G901f stock& rooted. I see the TPD version, will it have dutch language if i flash it ( without wipe anything) in ODIN?
2) What does TPD stand for anyway?
I want to do this because i see TPD has latest security_patch sept 1
With rooted Phone there is no way (as far as i know (3) ) to get security updates without getting the message it as screenshot given under here....

I can confirm that the issue has been fixed for me as well! ****ing finally! :cyclops:
Btw it will not switch to Dutch

After updating to Android 6.0.1, the phone is randomly losing mobile and gps signal. It happens about 30-40 times a day, especially when moving around, like driving . Almost every time I look at my phone, I see "No service, network not found" or "gps lost" messages. After about 10 seconds, the signal comes back and everything is ok again. I have made a soft reset, a hard reset, wiped all data and cleared the phone cache, checked and cleaned the Sim card....
PS. I'm from Estonia, and the software version is G901FXXU1CPE1/G901FBAL1CPE1
Thank you in advance...

Hello! It seems all the firmwares ending with CPE1/CPH1 are problematic. You can try some other firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/
Select the firmware what seems best for you, don't select the operator-based ones, like vodafone etc. If you click on the firmware and scroll the page down, you will see step-by-step instructions how to install it. Good luck!

Ok but i can't found latest country band FW have same with indonesia network (except FW country singapure now i using it)
