Hello everyone i recently installed an custom rom on my note 3 SM-n900,the rom is called vm 14 is like a porting to Galaxy S5 setting with the new touchwiz,but the problem is that i got bored using this rom and when i tried to get back to stock rom from samsung it changes my imei to null/null.
So i tried to revert to custom rom once again and it works.Imei is stable not errors at all.
Any help how to revert to stock rom and to fix my imei ?
Thanks in advance.
It's known issue after VN ROM V14/14.1
Read this, perticularly post #2
In short - If you have flashed VN14/14.1 ever
1.Everytime you flash any other ROM you have to flash NE1 modem otherwise you won't have IMEI
OR
2.If you have any EFS backup made prior to flashing VN 14/14.1, just restore it and you are again free to flash any other ROM without loosing IMEI
hi basically i have a note 3 which was working fine i then done a factory reset in settigs and now it says baseband UNKNOWN and imei UNKOWN
ive read up on it and says i need to flash a stock rom via odin ?
im pretty new to this and i belive the rom i need is
EVR-N9005XXUGNG1-20141015154736.zip
as im in the uk ?
i cannot download it anywhere ive tried everywhere a link or some help would be very appricated

Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 IMEI / Baseband NULL / NULL
Hello every body, and thank you at advance for multiple sharing , and help solving android problems.
Am facing the same problem of NULL imei and base band as well, i endured this issu after a month of experiencing a new official update from kitkat 4.4.4 to lollipop 5.0.1 it worked fine at first but with use i had heat issu, and loss of network 2G intermittently ..
i tried to root the device, but it gave no solution, the re-install of lollipop non-official leads me to the loss of IMEI numbre.
i triyed to downgrade to kitkat, i didnot found the 4.4.4 version in samsung stock, i've downloaded 4.4.2 , reinstall, the lollipop is still persisting.
back to hard samsung wipe data , also gave nothing.
please advise.
thank you
PS : i have no ESF backup

lollipop 5.01 and the custom rom was based on kit kat 4.2 (aroma ozcan rom 6.3) everthing went fine till the final boot and there was no
imei and i was not able to make any calls , i searched every where i could , i tried to restore my nanadroid backup , efs partition everthing went wrong . I tried one or two method from some website but that too was not hope full finally with GODS GRACE I stumbled upon this thread and id worked
i followed a youtube tutorial for the basic of modem flashing just follow his video for the odin version and he advise to flash the modem twice i did exactly that and it went fine and now i am albe to recive and make calls

un checked "reboot"
turn the phone into download mode and connected to the pc
selected "phone" in Odinn and navigated to the bin file

You need to descripe what you did. There are many ways that can result in imei null.

If it was working before you dropped it, then you have hardware damage and the above method will not fix it. Bring it to a service center.
!! Sm-n900k !! Imei null / baseband unknow / sw rev check failed fused 4 > binary 3
Hi Guys!
I have a SM-N900K (KT version - South Korea) Galaxy Note 3. I upgraded it to Lollipop 5.0.1 and now IMEI is NULL. I can not fix it. I don't have any EFS backup.
I tried to downgrade by flashing stock 4.4.2 rom : N900KKKUENF2_N900KKTTENF2_N900KKKUENF1_HOME.tar.md5 but got error: SW Rev Check Failed Fused 4 > Binary 3.
I flashed with Stock 5.0 Rom: ALL_KTT_N900KKKU0GOC4_N900KKTT0GOC4_CL4362511_QB4250245_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 and another Rom: GALAXY_NOTE3_N900K_SPACEX_LOLLIPOP_MANHIT.tar.md5 but still same IMEI Problem!!!
There are not much Custom Rom for SM-N900K. So I tried to flash Sm-N9005 Custom Roms but there are always "Could not do normal boot!" problem.
I live in TURKEY! So I can't send the phone to South Korea. I gave my phone to a phone repairman. He couldn't fix it, even if he used up-to-date box.
I also looked for how to unlock bootloader. But there is none as I saw.
Please help me guys. I couldn't downgrade to 4.4.2 KitKat and still have IMEI null problem.
Thanks in advance...

Why did you flash other variants roms? Because if you flashed right rom it would not brick it and lose imei.
Have you tried efs recovery method somewhere here at q&a forum?

I have same issues, but cannot find the way to fix it. Did you fixed it, can you share ?
Thanks
I had this problem 3 or 4 years ago. I found the solution that time. The solution to this problem is kernel if I remember correctly. You have to find a suitable kernel. When you find a suitable kernel for sm-n900k you can use many custom rooms.
Another thing is;
You have to install a custom rom then before starting the phone, flash suitable kernel and the you are good to go.
I hope this information helps you.
Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung Note 3 SM N900S and I have installed Lineage OS 15.1 and everything is working perfectly. The only problem is with the mobile network. It works fine sometimes and suddenly it doesn't and then when I restart few times it works. So I found that the problem is with the modem.
Can I get a link where I can download the required files? (Bootloader and Baseband)
Bootloader & Baseband thread is easily found in GENERAL section .
Or flash stock rom .
I found the same problem with the experience rom . I solved It with a nandroid backup .
