So I recently bought a phone off of Kiijiji,... yeah I know bad idea don't get me started
I did a lot of searching and the phone is unlocked but will not connect to my providers network, telus, and I am using their network mode, WCDMA.
Now I have a feeling that the problem lies in the Baseband version. I did a google search on it but it came up with only 2 results. One being a random forum talking about how to root a Chinese phone so I assumed the phone itself was from China (a counterfeit or not) either way all the phones that come from China have dual sim, which mine does not.
This brings me to my question, does anyone know where or what the baseband model G900ZCUBMI3 is ?

please can anybody help me. i bought one htc elf in dubai and i went then to turkey am trying to make it work in turkey but in vain. it is always searching for network and not finding anything.
have you tried flashing a different radio? Or, have you go into phone settings and tried to select a network manually?
i couldn't upgrade my radio version it is always arriving 79%, stopping and giving error.
Whats the error, make sure to post as much information as possible, people wold be able to help better then.
Have you checked the error codes in the ROM section?
Stu
no actually am sorry but i did not know about that section before. so it is error 270.
thanks actually i found that error solution but nothing changed still my phone is searching for network in vain. even am trying to find a network manually it is writing cannot read settings from the network try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.
where did you buy the phone from in dubai? Was it from a market etc or a store? It could be blacklisted in turkey? Just thinking that could be a possibility.
i bought from jumbo electronics in dubai it is a distributer of consumer electronics. so what can we do if it is blacklisted.
i doubt it would be blacklisted if from a shop. If it is blacklisted, theres pretty much nothing you can do about it, apart from change the imei - which may well be illegal, i know it is here in the UK.
mm is there any way to change the imei like software.
for that, i would not help. you can however search forums to see if you can find anything for it.
google checkmend as well, that tells if the phone is blacklisted etc, but maybe only for us and uk, not sure. costs $2.99 USD though.
actually there is something strange i have one sim card from UAE, when i use it the signal of network is coming and when i put any sim in Turkey no signal is coming. do you think it is blacklisted?
the turkey sim may not be registered? I wouldn't be able to say if it is blacklisted - i'm still learning these phones too
About IMEI
If you bring a cell phone from out of Turkey you need to register it in cell shop called like "Turkcell Extra".
You need your phone and your passport. The personal'll look at the dates in your passport and check the invoice date in shop after he/she will register your phone to Turkey Network. after a copule of days you can use it complately...
to my knowledge it may be because of the the frequency of the signal u r receiving in ur country. elf and elfin are triband phones.. they dont have a frequency range of 850 Mhz .. may be ur provider is giving the signal in that frequency.. try with gsm sim of other service provider may be it will help u...
thanks alot but i think my phone now is blacklisted cause as i remember i came to turkey before long time and it was working but now it is not anymore even i tried different sim cards like vodafone and turkcell but in vain. i have other phone am using now and i registered it on my passport it is working but i want to use my elf actually i dont wanna use other phone cause i love that phone that is all.
first unlock your device, then install the newest radio.
Yes, I need help and guidance for this new Note 3 that my wife received gift from my mother-in-law (a bit jealous at that time) when we were in India but so far unable to use in UK network for long.
phone details:
Model number - SM-N900
Android version - 4.4.2
Baseband version - N900DDUDNA1
Kernal version -
3.4.39-679903

Wed Feb 12 17:49:20 KST2014
Build Number - KOT49H.N900XXUDNB2
Device Status - Official
The phone was sold to us as International unlocked phone in last week of february, we didn't put any SIM but once started the phone in Mumbai it didn't ask for any regional lock or sim unlock code so we were satisfied that phone is unlocked. We didn't test it with any SIM in India though. First we put the SIM in UK and as usual it didn't prompt for unlock code etc. straight we got signal on Three uk network
but signal only lasted around 1min. When I checked signal strength it kept changing and the phone gets no signal. Have been in constant touch with 3 Network in UK(london area) and they are confirming that this phone can work in UK on there network without any issue unless there is a hardware fault.
I have spent numerous hours resetting the phone/ selecting network/ trying SIMs from different provider but signal comes and goes. When its there I can make and receive calls without any problem.
Once I made a call for more than 12 mins but signal doesn't last that much anymore.
It goes like this in Mobile Network type - H --> H+ --> HSDPA then drops (with signal strenth -113dBm 0 asu) when asu is higher it works. All this happens within a minute time frame. The wifi works fine hence software updated.
Now I feel there is problem in its Antenna but I need expert advise before I send it back to India as Samsung UK refused to fix it since phone is not bought in UK (though I was ready to pay for it) but now I guess they don't have anybody in UK to repair such phones.
Please suggest to fix this issue if you or people in your network have had such issue before and how do I resolve it?
Kind regards,

it s too far to be hardware problem.
u can do this;
1. flash SM-N900 UK ROM /u can find firmware on sammobile.com/firmware
or
2. flash just its modem firmware /u can find in dev section
if nothing happen after 2-3 times flashing different stock firmware of uk and modem u should ask for replacement.
:good:

Many thanks for reply as suggested
for option 1 - I tried before and now as well on sammobile when I select N900 I do not get UK in the country dropdown list to select the different firmware, whatever firmware they have for india is already updated on my phone
that leaves option 2 which I am more interested in because when I restart the modem using any app it comes back quickly but again goes dead.
I am new user so can't post any request in Dev section and searched but couldn't find it. is there any specific search term I need to use to get modem firmware for UK for my N900?

Please let me know if the problem got solved, i have the same problem, one more question for you, do u have kit kat installed on your phone?
Hello everybody
Recently received a Samsung Galaxy S5 originally from Verizon. The Phone works really well Outstanding performance ! but it has no service. Explanatio: I live in Cuba here the cellular operator is Cubacell operates on GSM. The phone finds the signal and notifies in "avaliable networks" tha Cubacel is Available... But fails registering on the network, and i don't know what to do... many technicians already "diagnose" the phone and most of them says is a problem qith QCN file, but what really worries me most is that Board IMEI is not the same the cell shows on *#06# .. so i found all these really tricky since i'm new in Android cause my previous phone was an HTC Windows Phone 8x that suddenly died and revived with no service either (a strange case for other post i hope) The S5 is SiM unlocked everybody says, besides every verizon phone is gsm unlocked by default don't they? The dark story of it is that the phone was previously unlocked for use in another company in the US and was working there perfectly. Right now the phone is running Lollipop, and no problems with WiFi restriction for Cuba so far... Registered on Samsung, on chat they send me to verizon saying phone is locked but i don't think thats the real problem...
So i'm wondering if anybody could help .... since in my country everything is so hard to get ja! and the acces to Octoplus Box or Z3X is expensive.. very...
Phone Details:
Model SM-G900V Android 5.0 Baseband G900VVRU2BOK3
Kernel 3.4.0 Build LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3 Hardware G900V.00
Security MDF v1.1 release 4 VPN v1.4 release 4.1
KNOX 2.3 Configuration J13.SAM.SMG900V.1
Thanks a million in advance and greetings from Cuba...
So,
I was using my XT-1563 on a CyanogenMod in one of my local carriers. I bought a new phone and decided to sell this one, so I went back and installed stock rom. So far everything was ok.
The problem came when the person that was buying it tried to use her simcard. The phone didn't show any error, but it never connected to that network. Then I tried another sim from different carrier and it didn't work either (but it does work using my old simcard). It recognizes there's a new simcard, but fails to connect, only allowing emergency calls.
I've been trying all day to fix this. I have flashed nearly half of all the stock roms available, obviously starting with those from my zone, but so far none has worked.
I also tried the simcard into my new phone and it works just fine.
So, I know the following:
- The simcard is ok.
- It's not a signal problem (I have tested it in different parts of the city and zones I know have very good signal).
- The phone works using a simcard from one carrier, but not the others (and it doesn't ask me for some unlock code).
Thanks in advance for any help, it'll be greatly appreciated.

So, did you ever carrier unlock the phone? I realize it's not asking for a code, but you never said you actually unlocked it.

At this point I'm not 100% sure.
When I bought the phone it was supposed to be unlocked (I got it from someone else) and I'm pretty sure it was, because it was originally bought for one carrier (Entel Chile) and then I used it with another one (Wom Chile). By law, every phone sold in Chile since a few years is mandatory unlocked and this one is not that old (2015).
Right now it only works with Wom Chile, even tho I've installed Entel's stock rom. I think it's some baseband issue from what I've read, but I can't be sure.
P.S: Sorry for bad english.
Yes u r right
i used cm14 on xt1562, i'v feel my network was drop around 30-40% specially on Reliance JIO 4G VOILET.
Over all - rom is good for enjoy but not for stability
I've been on AlphaOmega ROM and want to revert back to stock as I'm selling the phone but I'm a little stuck. I've downloaded what I thought was the correct ROM
VS99520c_01_1110_ARB00.kdz (region VRZ)
and then tried
VS9951AA_01_0122_ARB00.kdz (region VRS)
The reason I'm stuck is I'm getting a notification saying Verizon Wireless does not recognise my sim. I'm in the UK (imported from Hong Kong) and quiet happily have used the mobile network data & voice on various providers though probably not as well as a phone intended for the UK market. It's my own fault for not backing up the original ROM I know :crying:
The other thing is and I'm not sure if I'm imagining this but I'm pretty sure when it used to complain about the sim which it would after every reboot it would say Verizon and not Verizon Wireless and it would still manage to pick up the local bands. Now I'm getting nothing, nada!
So any pointers would be appreciated :fingers-crossed: Am I using the wrong ROM?
