[Q] Kitkat problem with sgs4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Ever since I flashed a kitkat rom whether its TW or AOSP im having problems. I never had problems with jelly bean.
With Touchwiz I have the issue when rebooting, sometimes I do not get data and when I try to activate data i get a message "insert sim card" after a few reboots or now "hot reboot" i get the data back.
With AOSP which i tried recently, I have a problem when rebooting I cannot type the lockscreen code! I need a lock screen code for exchange emails.
Could it be the boot loader that is causing issues? I tried flashing official roms but does the one file i flash update the boot loader? Im not sure if I have updated it.
Anyone else similar?

I had problems with reboots when i had wrong baseband. What you can do is:
- Flash Stock Rom (TW)
- Dial *#1234# and attach what appears here.

My baseband says I9505XXUFNB9
Bootloader says I19505XXUFNC4 (root checker app)

I got the "no sim error" when I flashed back to Echoe rom for my i9505, all I did was reflash the rom (with no changes) and bingo worked as soon as the screen came on.

kitkat 4.4.2 official stock odin firmware - no signal - HELP

I just Odin flashed "N900TUVUCNB4_N900TTMBCNB4_N900TUVUCNB4_HOME. tar"
Kitkat 4.4.2 stock official rom (I checked the md5 and it's perfect)
It flashed without any errors at all but I have no signal, when I go to setup>General>About
the baseband displays "unknown". The odin log file shows no errors at all, it finished properly.
When I go to Setting>Connections>more networks and I click it, a box pops up saying
"insert SIM card to access connections".
Instead of a signal bar in the status bar I see a circle with a / through it.
My phone is a T-mobile N900T ? USA version.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Samsung Note 3 N9005 NO SIM Inserted

When I upgrade my Samsung N9005 (European version) to Android 4.4, it does not detect any of my sim cards. I have tried this on three phones I have and am now sure there is a porblem with the firmware not my sim card. I am on China Unicom. I have also tried to insert a sim from a different country, it does not even ask for the pin since to it nothing is inserted. I have tried different region firmwares from HongKong, United Kingdom and Unknown. Please help.
Anyone?
How do I make my posts popular. I always ask questions on this forum and never receive answers. Yet there are 52k people online.
Be patient. You are not special that you should get immediate answers on your topics.
Thought about possible hardware failure? It could go under warranty as well.

Its not a hardware failure. I have three phones which I got after exchanging so this is six in total that have this issue. I also cannot downgrade back to 4.3 which is what I would prefer as for now.
What version of 4.4.2 you have? I need the build number.
I would recommend reflashing firmware, might eliminate those bugs.

I have tried 4.4.2 N9005XXUEND3_N9005OXAEND1_BTU and UK firmware N9005XXUEND3-N9005OXAEND1.
Just to add some detail, my phose Baseband is unknown and when I try to check the IMEI I cannot since it interpretes it as a phone call "Mobile Network not available"
Look around the forum, there are solutions for that. Apparently something went wrong when you updated firmware.

Try re-flashing the entire firmware, or extract only modem files and flash it manually. See the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52948152&postcount=13

I'm experiencing the same issue. Flashed a new Temasek CM11 nightly and after booting into the rom for the first time no PIN unlock dialogue appeared. The phone is stuck at "searching for service". My IMEI number is still there and both SIM cards I have tried work perfectly in my iPhone.
I'm still on JB 4.3 bootloader with CMW recovery 6.0.4.5 and baseband is N9005XXUBMI6. Is it possible something got messed up when flashing latest CM? Perhaps baseband/modem firmware outdated?
I'm downloading N9905XXUEND3 and will flash back completely to stock. Will report back here later.

Sorry I've never tried CM so I'm not sure what happens.
Please feedback.

I have managed to solve the problem.
1. First back up EFS and FSG in case you haven't done that yet. On the N9005 your IMEI information is stored in FSG so do not use any tools that only backup the EFS without the FSG. For tools check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611903
2. Flash stock image for N9005. I was still on JB 4.3 with the unlocked bootloader so I flashed JB 4.3 again, didn't bother with KK 4.4 which will lock the bootloader after flashing.
3. Booting back into stock and the SIM PIN entry menu appeared straight away.
4. Flash CWM recovery appropriate to your bootloader 4.3 or 4.4
5. Flash CM
6. SIM PIN entry and cellular works perfectly again
conclusion:
I'm not sure why this happened. Downgrading to a previous CM build did not solve the issue. So I'm reluctant to blame CM itself. Perhaps the recovery was the culprit. Somewhere something must have been corrupted during a flash. Luckily nothing that couldn't be fixed by flashing stock.

[Q] [Help] Can't unlock SIM after ParanoidAndroid flash

Hi,
I just flashed my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 from Android 4.3 to 4.4 with ParanoidAndroi ROM.
Eveyrthing work just fine except one thing : I can't unlock my SIM !
When I start the pone, a prompt ask me the PIN, and when I submit it, the wheel just turns, nothing happens.
I can access the phone when I set plane mode then reboot, but I have no mobile network (no SMS / Phone call etc.) :/
I tried to disable PIN security in the build.prop file by setting keyguard.no_require_sim=true, doesn't change anything.
I have this SIM for 3 years now, the phone is definitly not sim locked for this operator.
Anyone has an idea?
You flashed from 4.3 stock, or 4.3 custom??

4.3 stock
My baseband is I9300XXUGNA7
Try:
1. Reflashing Stock and see if the SIM is still working without unlock.
2. If yes; don't flash PA.
3. if No, that means it was locked, you need to get in contact with your service provider in order to unlock your phone; or buy a code off eBay.

Does anyone know how to fix this so I can call my kids again I'm not gonna be homeor anywhere close to a place to get a new phone for another month

1. It's the correct firmware for your device and the latest. Yes. Problem of sound/wifi are related to wrong baseband normally. Reflashing it 2 times solve the problem.
2. We will try other options.
3. You have to install STOCK ROM for dial *#1234# first.

Out of Service Network most of the time after flashing custom ROM

I hope I am posting in the right section.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505) and it was crashing on the stock ROM so I flashed the Imperium LL Rom v11.0. The problem I am having is my phone reporting no network signal or "Out of service". But not always. After a reboot I usually have network signal. After locking and unlocking the phone I never have. The signal usually comes within a few minutes. When my phone is reporting "Out of service" I cannot make calls but I can still receive calls. And after the received call has terminated I can still not make calls. After a few minutes the network signal icon comes and I can make calls. Until I lock my phone because it gets lost everytime.
Some info:
1. I was on a rooted Stock 4.2.2 before I flashed the Imperium LL Rom.
2. The IMEI seems to have changed. I never took note of it before flashing, so it might have always been different but the IMEI reported by the phone is different from the IMEI on the sticker underneath the phone battery. I tried the Xposed IMEI changer but the problem still happens so this may be unrelated.
3. While searching I found it could be an invalid Modem driver. In the settings the Baseband version is I9505XXUBMEA so I tried flashing the driver for that version using ODIN. No change.
4. I tried via Recovery to flash Slim80 Kernel Cleaning Script v1.9 and then the Imperium Kernel v3.3 but no change.
I did a factory wipe before flashing the firmware.
Any help or suggestions please?
Thanks!
I have actually solved this. What I had tried before was flashing the modem with the same Baseband I had previously ie: I9505XXUBMEA thinking that there were specific versions which needed specific drivers. Upon reading more I found out that newer versions of the modem should be installed and that XX was a carrier code and the last 2 letters are how recent the driver is. So I tried the latest modem (XXUHOE2) I could find similar to the Imperium Build which is XXUHOJ2 and it seems to be working. My phone retains the network signal when put to sleep.
The fact the IMEI changed is weird and I don't know if it makes a difference. Maybe it was always like this..but it is strange that it is different to the one on the sticker. The format is correct because only the last 4 digits differ.
Anyway I hope this info helps someone with similar problems.
How can I mark the title for this as [Solved]? I can't find any way.
