[Q] [I9500] Have generic IMEI and not able to connect to network

Hi,
I had installed the CyanogenMod 10.2 available in the original android development section on my I9500. I flashed it in the morning. everything was working fine except camera till afternoon. Suddenly on afternoon i observe that my phone has entered into emergency signals mode and was not connected to my mobile network. First i thought it was signal problem but upon reading found out that it is IMEI getting changed problem. I have installed Stock ROM again to try if it solves the problem but sadly it doesnt .
Anyone out there faced the same issue and can help me?
Thanks

I have an Indian model I9500 . I tried flashing Omega Rom before trying CM. For Omega ROM i flashed XXUBMG9. After that i flashed back the Stock firmware I9500XXUAMDE_I9500ODDAMDC_INU. Then i flashed CM. CM worked fine for half a day. Then it failed connecting to my network.
With the method you are telling i flashed my stock firmware modem first, but it didnt work. Now i flashed XXUBMG9 and it worked.
Can't i go back to my stock firmware modem now? Am I stuck with this modem ?

you still on the first old firmware for India (MDE).
you can take ota update and then the modem will be replaced. or flash latest Indian firmware (MG5) and you will be on full stock.
PS. i guess that modem does not affect warranty.

MEA firmware came with DDUBMEA modem. try to flash this modem alone as "phone" twice http://d-h.st/c9i
any way these are all INS firmwares http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=INS#firmware

I tried flashing MEA modem twice all other Indian Modems twice and nothing worked. It is only working on XXUBMG9 modem. I am really stuck on this modem.
Does anyone has a theory of why this is happening? Omega ROMv14 wanted flashing this modem as a prerequisite. I had flashed this modem before flashing Omega. Then i went back to my stock and flashed CM over my stock ROM. CM wasworking fine till sometime , then it started to drop the signals and later i realized i lost my imei. If i flash back the MG9 modem the i get the proper my phones imei and network connects. But for all other modem of india it just shows the generic imei and doesnt connect to network.
Can anyone help me postmortem this case and tell what went wrong where?

all failed

It finds the WiFi on one firmware but not that other?
could just be one is slightly buggy, Or there is a very small possibility that there could lay a hardware problem (more than likely not though) - try and keep on the MJ7 fw if you can, as for rooting and having the issue. It certainly seems strange. - Assume you have tripped your KNOX ? Try stock flash via ODIN and then try and see if you can root it again, if you haven't tripped KNOX already then it will trip it so be careful.

OK, if you have upgraded already (which you have) to MJ7 you won't be able to downgrade back to MJ1, MJ7 carries a new bootloader and Samsung have blocked downgrades. - Go on to sammobile.com and find the stock firmware you need with the CSC you require. - Flash the stock firmware you need to the device with ODIN, then once you have done that check your WiFi to see if it works or not, then root the phone as you normally would and see if it still works. It seems like it's just a small bug with the software.

XSP -CSC and N9005XXUDMJ7 is the stock firmware you require on your device? -- I'm not sure what the issue could be, as it is only happening sometimes and not all the time, so that rules out HW and a list of other things. I'd put it down to buggy software. Go with the firmware that worked, that is the safest option currently until you/we can figure out what the issue is.

if you're rooted, maybe you can try this, mine n900 works fine

Do not mess around with PIT files and re-partitioning unless you know exactly what you are doing and what each file will do.. cause you will end up with a nice paperweight.
Factory reset, wipe cache and boot into stock and see what happens.

hi, thank's for all your answer. This Note 3 will make me crazy. At this time, i decide to try to rooted and add Wifix manager, and try to change wifi region, when i do that, for moments recognize my wifi, but at the moment don't recognize, which region code i have to use in USA ?? or help to find a solution thank's

32g sm-n9005 baseband unknown/imei null/sound and camera not working

After flashing the sm-n9005 to N9005DXUENE4 the phone is not function at all. Though I can still boot into the system it becomes very laggy, baseband unknown, imei null sound and camera not working. Did try to flash Sweetrom V7 still the same. Anyway if there's a way I can bring it back to life?

Try to flash back stock rom..or restore thru kies 3 will be much better..

IMEI NULL/NULL is modem or hardware problem
My guess is that it is due to a modem/firmware mismatch. Start flashing a modem for same fw version.

did that already, one more thing the phone keyboard and the swipe to unlock is not responsive at all.repair.

did you find any solution and fixed your phone ?

When arrive the problem and which rom and modem do you have before?
You need to go back on this... you Don t have efs backup?????
Otherwise try to put NF2 modem with NF4 rom. Bootloader is not important.
But check if modem well installed because odin says PASS but still on old modem

Try to flash latest NG2 firmware after whipe cache and factory reset. It did the job for me.

I have been already try KHIZAR'S METHOD*to install different LTE Modems on my phone with different stock roms. No matter finally i gave my phone to local repair shop. Samsung Official repair center's do not care about my phone due to it is N9005 and it is not for my country selling phone.
And another question my first N9005 slept in water during almost whole night. When i wake up in the morning i found my phone in water since many hours. I give it repair shop to check also but seems to main board needs to be replaced. Connection sockets damaged badly like melted half of them. is it possible to only change the connection sockets instead of whole mainboard ? Any idea ? and Where can i get only the connection sockets ? from samy ? ))
And i am starting the googled to find N9005 mainboard sockets

You re the terminator of N9005.? ....... no idea about motherboard or connector sorry....

I am having the same issue,
I'm new to the site been cool so far learned a lot and done a lot with my Note 3 since being here.
I recently rooted and install a custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) that works great, I tried flashing back to stock but encountered a major problem. after flashing to stock my IMEI is unknown and also my base-band from reading it seem as if my EFS got corrupted tried a ton of different thing and still I cant get this to work on stock. Only way my IMEI and base-band comes back is whenever I reinstall the custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) and restore the EFS that was backed up during the first installation of this rom
Thanks in advance all help is greatly appreciated. :good::good:

WiFi issue (stuck on turning on)

Hi guys. I'm having a problem with my WiFi. It will often be stuck in trying to turn itself on and when it does switch on, it can't connect to any WiFi. I've tried rebooting my phone, flashing stock Samsung rom, re-rooting and flashing different custom roms but none of it seem to work at all. I'm currently on temasek v15.6 and using N9005.

Anyone has any idea about what may be wrong? I read somewhere online that it may be hardware issue since the radio chip houses both the WiFi and Bluetooth. I am able to use my Bluetooth without any problem so I am quite sure it isn't the radio chip problem.

What 'stock samsung rom' did you flash?
Did the bootloader and modem update?
As a last resort i'd try it with a pit file to repartition your phone.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I went to use the latest Samsung lollipop from sammobile. It changed my baseband to that version of lollipop though. What's a pit file and how is it done? BTW, I flashed to stock using odin.

This is the stock I was using. The PDA version is N9005DXUGBOF1 and the CSC version is N9005OLBGBOF1. Lollipop 5.0 (Singapore).

I've tried the method that was being recommended but still having no luck at all with my WiFi.. Thanks anyway.

I do not think I missed the point. Your original post only mentions KK but not LP which is why I suggested LP. The last line of your original post even states the ROM in use on the phone.

No worries. Thank you for clarifying the situation. Your English is fine.
I don't know which version of Odin you are using but I always use Odin 3.07 because I have never had a problem with 3.07.
Do you have a pit file for your phone? Flashing the pit file with the stock ROM in Odin might solve the problem.

This is coz KNOX blocked the wifi access.
SOLUTION:
1. Flash via ODIN the latest android 4.4.2 version to your device: THIS ONE.
2. Root it via ODIN with CF-Autoroot.
3. Using Root Explorer (for example) delete all the KNOX entries: GUIDE.
4. Reboot your device. You should have wifi now. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset your flash counter to complete the job. Done.

Install this APP and add screenshots pls.

You mentioned that you tried kies in your post but Kies didn't support your phone. It could be that the updated ROM is supported in Samsung's smart switch.
