Hello Folks,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 32 GB SM-N9005 , recently updated via Kies 3.0 to latest official firmware update provided by Samsung.
Base Band:
N9005XXUBMJ
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-1628120
Build Number:
JSS15J.N9005XXUBMJ3
*#1234# gives following info:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CSC: N9005DBTBMJ3
The device has been successfully rooted using CF-Auto-Root as decribed in the corresponding CF-Auto-Root Thread here at xda-developers Forum.
Symptom of the Problem:
Basically the phone is working normally - no issues beside the following Error in Kies occured yet.
When connecting the phone to Kies though, it shows the following Error:
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies."
I had a phone call with Samsung customer support today and they identified the root cause appears to be a incomplete installation of the firmware update.
The support engineer asked me to enter: *#1234#:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CSC: N9005DBTBMJ3
He told me that the issue is that the CP component displayed in the middle which should end with another digit (not 1).
Impact of the problem:
The bad impact of this issue is, that I won't be able to install any future firmware update as long as this issue is not resolved.
Suggested Resolution from Samsung Customer Tech Support:
They advised me to re-initialize and re-install the firmware via Samsung Kies in order to get this fixed.
This approach also results in the need of a full re-install of all my Data, Apps and Settings.
Now my Question:
Is there any recommended way from the xda-developers experts community which makes more sense ?
E.g. any advice / shortcut solution which saves me from setting up my phone entirely from scrath is highly welcome.
Additional Info:
I have Titanium Backup Pro installed - Does that offer a save way to prevent a full manual restore of my Apps, Data & settings ?
Thanks in advance

I tried to flash different modem to fix a small wifi issue I had which eventually worked.
But since then my sound just died and I cant make calls either. It seems to be related to the sound issue.
I was on slimrom 4.3.1 and then tried to format the sd-card and wipe cache, data, system etc. to start over. Still not working
I then tried flashing CM11 but it didn't change everything
I'm worried that something is wrong with my bootloader as I cannot use the *1234#. It just says: "connection problem or invalid mmi code"
When I'm in download mode I cant see anything about my knox warranty status. It says 0x30 instead.
Im currently downloading stock firmware and will start over but Im thinking theres an easier solution and that someone might have the answer
Best Regards Kasper

Wifi functionality and issues have nothing to do with modem. Modem only affects to voice gsm calls and 2G, 3G and 4G data. Reflash again your original modem and try to fix your wifi problem by other way.

Hey OP / kasperwo - did this work?? I'm having the same issues. Repulsa helped me before (thanks again) but then I went and flashed a different rom and the same problem came back. i think there was an underlying issue that basically was "covered by a bandaid" and which reappeared after flashing a new rom (CM11 i think)
so after all this i downloaded the stock german 4.4.2 leak, wifi stopped working, lost root access.
Then was able to flash Philz Touch recovery, re rooted using that, then flashed a different rom (wanamLite) and still no wifi etc
Last night it was reading:

Its all the same now except
CP: I9505XXUFNB8
Any help is much appreciated

I follow the standar procedure and i open ODIN 3.09 and i put the tar file in AP module.Everything went smooth.When phone booted i was that wifi wasnt working properly because odin for some reason couldnt flash the modem firmware from the firmware file.So my quest continues and i found the NB9 modem firmware for my phone and i flashed it.WIFI problem solved and i was so happy but untill now i cant understand why odin in the first place didnt flash the modem.Anyway the real problem now is that when i go to security>lockscreen settings >all the option are gray (face unlock pattern etc) and i ahve a message that says that the administrator has disabled this. I went to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and i Deactivate all programs there.Then i went back to Security and click clear credentials at the bottom of the page.No luck with that procedure
I dont know what to do but my guess is that my phone is from France and i live in Greece,maybe because i flashed greek firmware in a french phone all things was messed up?If that's the issue how can i solve this thing?French firmwares are on 4.3 and as i know i cant downgrade from 4.4.2 Please help me
Note:I have rooted the phone by the way and removed Knox still no luck
You can do this (If you have STOCK ROM android 4.4.2 installed):
1. Conect it to Kies 3 for know ur CSC (Close CSC you will see 3 letters btw parenthesis)
2. Make a backup of ur data folders of ur Internal Memory
3. Install this app HERE (Rooted device needed)
4. Select ur CSC (Letters of the 1st step)
5. The program will reboot ur phone. Tell us how it work
If you want to use the security settings you have to flash the new bootloader i guess

Greetings,
My phone was working fine until a few days ago, when suddenly it starts to show the icon for no service.
I've already tried to reset to factory defaults, and also reflashed the stock rom, after this I found out that my baseband and imei where null (not sure if this was the main reason for not having service, but at least looks like)
What is the correct way of fixing unknown baseband/imei? reflashing the modem?
My phone was bought in south africa last year, and now I'm living in brazil.
Model: (Note3) SM-N900

When I checked my serial on the website that you linked, I could see Vietnam.
I'm in the very south of brazil, not many android experts around here

- Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
- Select firmware for your device/CSC to download. You can flash full firmware via Odin, or extract and get 2 files: modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin.
- To flash the modem, make sure to enter download mode by completely switch off the phone, and boot to download mode by hardware key combination. Flash modem.bin first, reboot, then flash NON-HLOS.bin.
Hello vndnguyen,
I've checked my phone info/firmware with Phone Info Samsung app, and it also pointed to the South Africa, XFE rom.
I did uncompressed the tar.md5 file but did not found the file NON-HLOS.bin. I've just found modem.bin file.
Should I proceed flashing just modem.bin with odin? Flashing only modem.bin would give me a chance to restore baseband version information and imei?
In the past days, I've flashed this rom (the complete md5 rom file), would also the modem .bin be applied while stock rom flashing?
Thank you
Today I called Samsung customer service asking for support, I know that since I bought my phone on another country, they would not give warranty, so I was ready to pay for support and have my phone fixed.
Samsung denied any kind of service on my phone, saying that they only support phones bought in brazil.
They also told me that I should look for any other 3rd party support.
I started a complain at 'reclameaqui', but anyway, I'm quite sure that this is going nowhere.
http://www.reclameaqui.com.br/10344...cs/galaxy-note-3-suporte-negado-pela-samsung/
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or things that I should try.
Thank you
Rom 442 pologne... boot download mod CP GNG1 in ap case odin and reboot recovery reset all data. Good luck
Thanks for the advice, but looks that I got lucky....
After registering my complain at "reclameaqui", Samsung changed their position and called me offering an option for repairing my phone.
Tomorrow I will be shipping my phone to their support center.
I will come for an update when the phone comes back.
Thank you
Today I received my phone from Samsung.
They didn't fixed the phone and they also informed me that they where unable to fix it since the required parts for fixing aren't available in Brazil.
So I guess that now I have a big useless phone that can be used only to hold some papers in place.
Any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Try and download the XXUBMI2 modem and flash it through Odin. Make sure you have auto restart off and when it's flashed, pull the battery from your phone and reboot back into download mode. Then flash the modem again, this time with auto reboot on. That should make sure it's flashed. Restart your phone and then see if all is working. I've had issues like this before, and it turned out to be modem related, but my phone is the N9005. It's worth a try though

Hello Brownie2k,
I've followed your advice and flashed the modem using Odin (first time removing the battery, and second time with auto reboot), still with imei/baseband unknown .
Also tried to flash the stock rom again (XFE), and repeated the modem flash... same issue
Is XXUBMI2 the correct modem file for my phone? Should I also try the other modems? I've tried to follow the link to samsung firmware checker but the page seens to be broken
Thank you!!

Any Solution you find? tried above suggestions no luck
Your imei and baseband is there but doesnt recognize by your rom. Pls download firmware has baseband in it like *****NG1 and flash though ODIN. Your imei and baseband will be back. You can download firmware here
For 9005
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005
And 900
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900
i had same issue and flashed different modems and one worked.
for me nothing was working correctly untill i unticked F.reset time and Auto reboot,
i just manually rebooted my phone when odin job was finished.
First of all please forgive me for opening yet another S4 wifi problem after kitkat upgrade, but I have tried everything I could possibly find here, on youtube and other forums. The only thing left to try is flash the modem but I'd rather ask before I brick my phone
I'm not quite sure if this is the same issue every single time or if in my case it is due to my ignorance and errors. I was an iphone/unlock/jailbreak user until last year so please bear with me. Android is new and fun (but scary) territory to me.
Situation, what I did and possible mistakes on my side:
-I'm in Spain but I bought my factory unlocked phone on amazon and it was for the Polish market (GT-I9505 Black, 16 Gb)
-My device was rooted don't even remember how I did it last year so no useful info on that side a part of using odin for windows.
- Until yesterday I was on jellybean, not quite sure if 4.2.2 or 4.3
- Yesterday I upgraded to 4.4.2 via mobile odin and yes I checked the boxes about clearing/deleting cache or whatever it's called.
- Used a stock firmware downloaded from other site (that one starting with "S" and with a great amount of firmwares for samsung devices of several countries)
- I chose a firmware randomly (maybe this was my mistake) because I hade read that the firmware was not that important and people where usimg leaked german firmwares on on phones from elsewhere. But I did choose one that matched the country of my phone (XEO/XX Poland)
- Everything is working fine but without wifi I'm buying new Mb bundles almost every 2 hours and I'll be broke very soon
If you guys think the solution is flashing the modem which file should I use? I see lots of them with different models/codes and I'm completely lost and have read a lot about messing with bootloaders/modems etc bricking devices so I'm freaking scared and ask for your charitative help!
All the info I could gather about my device right now (now I know I should have gathered this info also before attempting to upgrade but it's too late now!

Thank you so much for your helpful reply Joku1981 !!!!! You made my day!!!
Can I do that with Mobile Odin??? My PC broke (Graphics card burnt) and until a couple of months won't be able to buy a new one.
To make sure I understand you: You mean Flash again the same firmware I used to upgrade to 4.4.2 in the first place?
I used this Firmware: I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXZGNH2_XEO
should I try Flashing that same Stock Firmware again? and if does not work keep reflashing until the baseband and the bootloader get updated?
Why did they not update ? is this common or an error on my side???
I hope it can be done with mobile Odin since I can keep my root status, If I have to do it in Desktop Odin do I have to Re-Root after flashing???
Thank you so much for you kind help!!!!!!

SOLVED!!!!!
After nobody answered if I could use again "mobile Odin" to flash once more and try to fix my wifi not working I opened mobile odin and it gave me a warning about my version and having a wrong bootloader as a possibility of soft bricking my phone so I decided to stay away of mobile Odin this time.
I used desktop Odin (at work since my pc broke) and exactly the same firmware file downloaded from sammobile (but re-downloaded it just in case) and had to flash twice, the first time it went through the whole process ok right until the end where it showed the FAIL message.
I didn't know if I should turn off the phone stuck in download mode and with the process bar at 100 % or retry flashing without turning it off. So I decided not to turn it off (afraid it would get soft bricked or something). I closed mobile Odin but left phone On with download mode screen active and opened mobile Odin again got the "added"message and the blue color showing it was properly connected to the phone and started flashing process again....
I started getting red error messages saying the progress bar display was wrong (and it wasn't updating/kept stuck in the previous 100%) but after it finished it was flashed and everything was ok. WIFI WORKED!!!!!!
Now the weird part.....in case this happens /helps someone else:
- My phone DID NOT get wiped. My launcher and my apps stayed intact (I thought flashing even the same firmware always wiped data, I'm I wrong???)
- All my root apps (root explorer, titanium backup, so on and so forth) where there and working fine. One root checker stated I was rooted and another one stated I wasn't but even my launcher (nova) was working just as if I never flashed the phone.
- Since I was unsure of my "root" state and I did not have "supersu" app in my apps drawer I tried installing it via playstore but It always gave an error message (the application could not be installed in the default location)
- I rooted again just in case and the root process finished without errors but still I had no "supersu" app and one root checker said I was rooted and the other I wasn't. Tried installing "supersu" from the playstore but same error and could not get installed.
- I searched here and in other forums for similar problems/solutions but nothing worked until I tried several things that fixed the problem. Not really sure which fixed it so I will write them down in the order I did them:
1. Opened folder mount which I already had installed and it gave me an error and asked me to try the fix which I did.
2. Opened linked2sd which I already had installed also previous to the firmware flash. It gave me an error and asked me which was the partition to use (as when I first installed it) in my case it was ext4. And it seemed to start working as it normally does. No further error when reopening it.
3. Rebooted the phone and tried entering recovery mode to wipe cache etc but It never entered recovery mode. I get the message about going into recovery mode (top left corner small red letters) But right after that it reboots and I get the samsung logo and my home screen.
4. Tried reinstalling supersu again and no success. (By the way before I did all this steps I tried rooting again but got to the same point. No supersu on my apps drawer)
5. Downloaded BusyBox install (opened it but did not use it in any way, maybe something in the installation fixed my problem)
6. Opened mobile Odin just for curiosity sake and it opened fine and asked for downloading of the extra stuff as when I installed it the first time. After that I closed it
7. Rebooted normally (no recovery mode since I'm stuck without it)
8. Tried installing "supersu" and NOW it worked!!!
9. Checked in both root checker apps and both confirm I'm rooted and supersu started asking for granting permissions to apps again as it normally does!
10. Everytime I attempted flash, root, and even after some reboots I took the battery off (since I read in several threads it helped/was mandatory)
Conclusion now my WIFI problem is fixed, my root problem (that appeared doing the reflash for fixing my wifi problem) is also fixed. The only thing I could not fix is not being able to get into recovery mode.
Does anyone know a solution for recovering the ability to get into recovery mode????
Thanks to Joku for lighting me into re flashing once and again until my wifi was fixed!
