Incoming calls not working on Note.

Okay, so its been a week since I got a Galaxy Note...
I haven't rooted or anything and its running no the firmware is "XXKL3" and baseband is "N7000DDKL1"...
The phone was working completely fine until today morning, whenever someone calls he gets "The number you have dialed is out of coverage area"....
While out going calls work perfectly fine.
So I removed the SIM and put in Vodafone SIM which worked fine in Note....
Then I put the non-working IDEA SIM into another phone and it was working fine too....
Then I put the IDEA SIM back in the Note and I once again had the same problem.
I tried a hard reset from recovery but that didn't work either
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Any solutions?
On a side note if nothing works out I am planning to flash the phone but the HotFile link for "N7000ODDLA1" is not giving me speeds more than 30 KB/s.... -_-
So, has anyone mirrored the firmware to another file hosting site?
If yes, can someone provide me the link?

If vodafone works n idea not working, means service conflict is there. Check call setting.
Latest version is ddlb2
Go to dev section n find my thread n7000 stock roms, it is sticky thread.

[Q] Samsung S3 GT-I9300 No service

Hi everybody,
I'm having some questions. My phone was rooted and I tried to unroot the phone yesterday. Well I used many of the tutorials on this forum and something went wrong, because afterwards my phone lost the IMEI number, which suddenly was changed to something like 004900.... And the "no service" started. I've called the phone company which told me that everything seems to be correct and that I should try to restart the phone and so on..
Well after many hours of searching on Google I found a program called Chimera, which helped me out with restoring the IMEI number to the correct one and after that my phone worked and the "no service" was gone. But this morning somehow the no service came back and I'm currently not able to do call anybody with the phone.
What do I do now? And how can I get the latest firmware 4.3? I live in Denmark and I can't find a stock firmware for the danish company Telenor.
Please help me out with this problem.

Guess you will have to flash firmware of other country,just like I do.

But does that work for you? Which country do you for example use as stock firmware?

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your post and ask a moderator to move it.
A search would have found many duplicate posts on the same subject. Suggest you read the sticky thread, efs 'know this stuff' for further information.

BTU Vodafone. Works as it should. If phone isn't from UK,it doesn't mean that firmware will work bad on it. Phone just doesn't care about that,don't worry.

IMEI NULL and Baseband Unknown - Note3 n9005 with KitKat

Hi guys,
I red the whole world about finding a solution for my issue, but didn't find anything that worked. I've got my note 3 n9005 flashed with stock 4.4 and the IMEI is showing null and the Baseband is unknown. I red that the IMEI restoring is done through the EFS folder somehow, but unfortunately I don't have it backed up Didn't find anything about the Baseband as well.
Could you guys help me get my note fixed.
Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION:
After investigating my issues forever I finally found out that my note was a Demo version. The guy that sold it to me lied about it, but anyway I returned it to him.
You can check if yours is a demo when disassemble it. You need to be looking for an antenna (it's a long wire coming from the back-right-bottom of the phone, going to the top of it). Unfortunately I deleted my photos showing where the antenna is, but you could search in google. If there is no such wire, your unit is most probably a demo phone.

Have a read throught that and see ^^
You must read and learn what causes issues before you try to resolve them, If you don't it can cause all sorts of issues.

So I found an image from this guy, wrote it to an 32GB mem card with Win32DiskImager, put the card in the phone, put the battery, pressed the power button (also tried all combinations) .. and guess what ... the phone doesn't wake up. Nothing happens ;(
Any other suggestions you could help with, guys?
All help will be highly appreciated!

How old was the image you used? I know there are problems reverting bootloaders from 4.4 back to 4.3.
Have someone make you a fresh image using a 4.4 stock Rom.

That's for the first issue I had. I think I will need to first wake up the device and then hopefully will move forward.

Anyway while waiting, do you think there is a way of flashing the SD card itself with the required files from an original or custom rom.
I mean, if I unzip the rom, will I find the files that I need there?
This might be a stupid question, but might be worth asking it.

There is a t-flash method, but we tried it and it didn't work over in the t mobile section. The problem being is you have to use a working phone to do so, and it is always a risk to the other party.

I9505 - No sound, no calls, no video

Hi,
I've had som rough weeks with my GS4 I9505. Hopefully some of you can help me.
I'm running CM11 nightlies, which was doing pretty great, until 3 weeks ago, where the media sound disappeared.
Well actually, I found out that the media sound WAS playing, but it was SUPER low. I had to put the volume at max and lay my ear directly on the speaker to hear it just a bit.
I read that a couple of others had the same problem, or at least I thought so, but now I tend more to think that my problem is/was hardware related.
Anyway, I tried flashing a lot of different firmwares, to match the bootloader and so on.
I am currently on:
Bootloader: I9505XXUFNB9
Baseband: I9505XXUFNB9
PDA/CSC: BLANK
The latest stock Samsung firmware I flashed, was: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_NEE
I am from Denmark and my phone is unbranded.
When I did that, the phone got VERY slow and wifi didn't work. Then I flashed CM11 again and wifi worked.
But now I am totally unable to make calls, it just freezes up and finally makes the call, but the call-speaker, media-speaker and microphone doesn't work.
When I try playing video (and some games) the specific app freezes and crashes too.
If I at least could get back to where my call-speaker/microphone worked and I had super-low audio I'd be ever so happy, 'cause then I can go and get a new media-speaker.
I hope someone can help me, otherwise I'll have to trash this phone, which I've been pretty happy to use for a while now.
Any pointers will do!
Thank you in advance.

That's what I'm running on now - A backup before all this..
But, as the bootloader and modem has changed, it still isn't working, sadly.

Hi mate , hi DeepankarS
Seem like two different problems here.....
the low volume may be a hardware problem , the speaker gone bad , if you can hear fine with your earphones i would say is a speaker problem...really easy to replace btw.
the other problems showed up after flashing so i asume they come from bad flashing........backup , also efs folder , do a factory reset and flash stock again.......what recovery you have ? the important thing is to leave the phone clean before you flash with Odin

Hi MAX 404
Yea, they started when flashing new bootloader and modem.
I'll try that in the morning (again) - It's quite late here.
I'm on Philz at the moment.
So, the phone should be totally clean before flashing with Odin? I don't think I did that last time actually
What firmware should I flash? The same as last time?

Download the latest 4.4.2 for your phone and then in odin, uncheck auto reboot.
After flashing keep the phone off for 30seconds plus and then turn it on

Well actually I don't know which one is the latest.
I'm from Denmark, which isn't listed on sammobile.com - Anyway, the last firmware I flashed was I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_NEE
Should this be fine to try again (again...) or is there a new one for my phone?

Dowbload any october/september build without carrier locking.
AFAIK, there was this UK one of October. You can try that
Also there is an Ireland one without carrier locking
AND IF YOU ARE ROOTED AS OF NOW, BACKUP EFS BEFORE FLASHING.
Use a good rated efs backup app from the playstore.

Hi ,
you have two options , factory reset and clean to install a new rom , try them both
Also would not hurt to mounts and storage menu/ format data and /datamedia ( /sdcard) that is your internal SDcard so is really clean....but after that you need to have a custom rom in the externalSD or go to download mode and flash with odin ....
Same rom as before should be fine....or download it again just to make sure is ok
BAckup first!! efs folder also.

Then your hardware is dead. You already had low sound.
Get a speaker replacement and google this

Edit : Wait sound as in no audio in all the speakers?

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.

I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.

keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.

I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.

O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

write stock rom

This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?

Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.
