Hello there.
I'm sorry if I haven't used the search engine right but I couldn't find a thread similar or answering my question.
I bought my phone, the note 3 in the Netherlands. It is an unbranded phone(phn) as far as I know.
But I am living in belgium. And for some reason I can't get my 4g to work with the Base operator.
Or with any other operators. For some reason there is no LTE option available in the network settings.
Now I have been searching on Google and went to some stores and compared my csc and ap version to the note 3 working on lte on the same network in the stores. And I saw with every note 3 in the stores that the ap version was ap n9005xxuena7 and mine is n9005xxuena6.
How come my unbranded phone with csc n9005phnena2 is not getting the update that let's me use 4g?
At least that is what I think?
After previewing the post, I noticed I have to update my signature. ..
Your carrier probably hasn't enabled it on your line.
Ring them up

I doubt that. They informed me about 4g them selves and the Sim they gave me had a small picture of 4g(lte) and 3 dual carrier on it.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I had a similar problem with my btu uk device after flashing the Polish na6 official firmware. Very unreliable mobile data connectity and went to 4g very rarely.
I didn't factory reset but instead flashed a custom rom (also based on na6) which fixed the problem completely.
I'd suggest factory reset first to see if that helps.

I don't know about Base, but with Proximus, you really have to call the customer service to ask them to activate the 4g for you. Did you try that?

I have a cheap abo with Proximus and have 4G on my note 3.
I don't have to do a thing about it so you don't have to call them its already activated for every abo.
I don't think it is operator related. Because my Sim works on my mother's s4 perfect.
I guess it is the update that is necessary to activate 4g on unbranded phones.

I can't say what's wrong with BASE, maybe they haven't enabled 4G towers yet...I'm on XL from Proximus and I get LTE all over Vlaanderen.
Well, try to flash some of the Polish 4.4.2 available all over XDA. My Note was also bought from Belsimpel but never had any issues with 4g--->with the latest NB3 (OTA) there's no more 4G sign...it's LTE.

Kies Backup works just fine...
Not every provider has 4G enabled in every CSC version. I get this question about 12 times a day on the T-Mobile NL forums.
I had 4G on DBT with T-Mobile NL two months before the T-Mobile NL Branded and PHN versions had it.
Resetting won't make a difference. This needs to be toggled in the firmware itself by Samsung. On most other devices you can use the *#*#4636#*#* or *#2263# dialer code to manually force the network mode, but they disabled it on the Note 3.

Thank you. You confirmed what I assumed was the problem.
I already have tried viaero. All I get is a black screen. No selectable option or toggle button. Nothing but a black screen. So I have to wait for an update or put a custom rom on it?
And is it possible to backup app settings? Like I dont have to configure Yatse again and Xbmc?
I am a noob with flashing custom roms and rooting.
Thank you.
call Base , tell them to activate it . Mobile Viking uses the base network and they had to phone base to activate G4 for my number.
up till few weeks a go you neded to make a call for proximus aswell but that changed because of the promoting of 4G action that is running for 6 months

No need to flash a customROM. If another official ROM has 4G enabled for our provider, you could flash that over PHN. No rooting, no knox triggering, no warranty issues. The only issue you might run into is that nonsense people have recently been getting flashing over PHN with the filesize.
NA6 is the most recent firmware for PHN. Could you go check in the stores what CSC version the devices are using that do have 4G on your provider? To my knowledge NA7 is a provider-specific version limited to T-Mobile and daughter-companies.

Thank you... Again.
I have been searching on Google for people having the same problem. I found someone posting his csc version and for this guy is the 4g working with the Ota update he got.
His csc version was N9005OXXDMJ4.
I'm also going to the store tomorrow to look it up.

Hi, my sm-n9005 not register on network.
It can't make calls or send messages but it can access the internet.
That's happened after I click the system update in the setting menu. now the imei showing in the status bar is different from the one on the back.
Is it the reason? is there anything to do with the so called regional lock??
Please help me.

your mobile may flash with super with super imei, so while firmware update imei changed, did you purchased from authorised dealer in Hong Kong? Or threw online? If on line u may need to go mobile repair shop.

Its Region Locked to Hong Kong. That means it will only register on a network around Hong Kong territory. You will need to get a Region Unlock from Samsung to use it in Norway. On the side of the box it should have listed the countries your note 3 well work in. If norway was not listed then you can not register on any network in Norway. Contact Samsung
If u read op write about his phone imei number got changed after update, his phone may flashed with super imei for unlock region lock by seller.

Hi, i had been using this phone in Norway from January without any problem. The problem appeared only a couple days ago after I updated some features. And later I couldn't make calls but I can get access the 4g internet using facebook or hangout, and surfing internet. I purchaced a 4g data package from telenor.
the imei has changed since I flash the stock rom from sammobile. now still I cannot call but can surf the internet.

previous rom was 4.3, Hongkong. sorry I can't remember the exact info of the rom. I just left it not updated since I bought it in January.
The updates were some features, but not the system update. the version remained 4.3.
After the update I tried to flash a latest stock rom from sammobile to see if that would fix it, but still failed.

You should not flash modem randomly as it may brick your device.
As you device is HK version and the above modem is for N9005 International version, that modem is not fit for your device.
Didn't you have any IMEI backup?
If you don't have any IMEI backup, try to reflash the stock firmware for HK (not international one, as these versions have different PIT structures).
You cant just flash anything you find on Sammobile and expect for it to run perfectly. region locked or not. Because your phone was from Hong Kong you need to flash Hong Kong only firmwares nothing more nothing less. Flashing something not made for your region will change the IMEI. My friends did the same thing and his was also Hong Kong model. Tried everything to get it back but its pretty useless with out an EFS backup in hand.
Someone mentioned if you flash the original Firmware that came with the phone for the region it was made for it well bring your IMEI back. Give that a try. Give this a try.

I have HongKong N9005 32GB too..
I didn't know anything about different partition so I flashed 4.4 from UK. And Soft Bricked my phone.
Then I used PIT file for international version and All the roms worked but Unknown baseband and Null IMEI.
Then I flashed UK rom and then Flashed modem from my previous android version.
That means, 4.3 version modem on 4.4.2 and baseband came back.
Repairing baseband is the very first step in repairing IMEI and network problems.

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2

I was given a Samsung galaxy note 3 32gb sm-n9005 (Orange France)
Problem is all the default apps are in French and the signal was rather quirky not really working on TNZ network (Telecom New Zealand)
Me being me decided to downgrade to 4.4.2 from 5.0 to put it on the Telecom (now Spark) network with all the correct settings and apps etc
This is what I have tried installing:
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country New Zealand
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 1955971
Build date Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:56:29 +0000
Product code TNZ
PDA N9005XXUGNG1
CSC N9005TNZGNI2
It installs to approx 97% and fails on the hidden.img.ext4
I have tried using different pits to no avail just keeps failing
Any suggestions please ? I have read countless threads but can't figure this one out at all....

You think I'm stupid maybe but.... New Zeland (TNZ) never gonna work if your phone is branded to France (Orange). No? It's normal that ODIN give you error everytime.
*Steps to follow:
1. Download the correct firmware to Orange (FRANCE): HERE.
2. Unzip and flash it via ODIN.
3. Buy a unlock code by IMEI and unlock your device.
4. Every SIM should work now (your device is international).
5. Done.

Nah all sorted - It was a case of finding the correct pit file to match the firmware, the phone was already on a different provider here in NZ so once I got the right one with the hidden partition all went well....
Hi guz,
I want to downgrade my NOTE 4 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I googled it and did show one of the thread on this forum using ODIN method for that. My problem is to find the correct firmware version for note 4.
My device info is given below
Model Number: SM-N910F
Baseband version: N910FXXU1DPB1
Build Number: MMB29M.N910FXXU1DPE1
Please help me on finding the correct firmware or suggest me on identifying the possible versions.
Thank you.
Go to sammobile and find the last released 5.1.1 firmware for your device.

Thank you for reply.
I have already checked sammobile, I did found some 5.1.1 firmware for note 4, my problem is I couldn't find any for my build. so my question is can I use any other similer version, if so what version?. Please be specific.
Thank you.

Use any unbranded firmware mate, UK for example. By unbranded I mean try those which don't come with any carrier labelling, you know like O2 etc.

Yes, unless EE is a carrier name it should be unbranded.
Installing the EE firmware will also install EE's own remote phone locking software in the persdata partition (Which is a real pain to remove as it will keep coming back even if you flash a non EE firmware) as well as EE's bloatware.
Use the BTU firmware for a clean unbranded phone.

Thank you for the valuable insight. Its a good thing since I have delayed the downgrade.

Hi....I just found your thread and wanted to know did the downgrade work in the end and what impact did it have on the phone. Did it improve? What were the reasons you decided to downgrade?
Thanks
