SOLVED: No service/null IMEI - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
I have a galaxy s5 g900f and just today i was playing around editing the messaging.apk, when i pushed the apk back into the system and rebooted everything was all fine. Then about ten minutes later my sim stopped working and i had no service whatsoever. I have spent all day flashing different roms, restoring my efs, and flashing different modems. I have checked to see if it is my sim card causing the problem but it is not. On top of all of this the phone reboots every time the screen locks and goes black, i suspect this has something to do with the sim card issue.
if any one is able to help me i would appreciate it so, so much.
thanks in advance.

Is your IMEI and Baseband still valid?
You may need to reflash full stock firmware.
Open Dialer and enter *#0011# and see what does it say?

in about phone it says my baseband is unknown. i am not sure about my IMEI, every time i try to check my IMEI via the dialer i get a message saying "mobile network not available."
when i entered that i got the same message "mobile network not available."
i may try downloading and flashing full stock firmware like you said.

Yes, looks like the baseband is invalid. You need to download the stock firmware and reflash.

i downloaded one of the stock firmwares off sammobile and flashed it via odin. Sadly the problem is still present.
Any more suggestions?

Do not flash random firmware. You need the stock firmware for your device.
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download the stock firmware for your device (with the correct CSC).

i originally purchased this phone from ebay and it was from hong kong and the phone was hong kong branded. The firmware i downloaded and flashed was hong kong firmware, it was G900FZHU1ANI2. I assume this would be the correct firmware, but still, no luck???

Please note that HK phone does not compatible with another international firmwares.
You said "spent all day flashing different roms, restoring my efs, and flashing different modems"
So you may have messed up with the partition structure, due to flashing rom/firmware that are not compatible.
Now you may need PIT file from a 'good' HK phone to flash together with the HK firmware (G900FZHU1ANI2).

i did what you said to do with the pit file, but that did not work. Now i think i have found out what the problem is, i think my efs folder is corrupted, which seems to be irreversible. I have tried many of the different restoring methods on google but none of them have worked.
Any suggestions on what i could do?

okay so are you saying that this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110 is not compatible with my phone? cause i have been using it for quite a while and have not ran into any compatibility errors.

Sorry, I mean stock firmware for international G900F is not compatible with HongKong G900F.
Regarding custom rom, I have no idea.
Where did you get that PIT file? Are you sure it is from HongKong G900F device?

okay yeah i get what you are saying now. Thank you for clarifying that.
i got it off this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737448 which seems legitimate. It ran through the process of re-partitioning the rom with no errors so it must mean it is the right file, otherwise it would have come up with an error.

Well if you can still get into download mode you are still safe.
Does it fail mid flash or can´t even recognize your phone?
Reboot your pc and try again.
It will fail on the ABOOT, and i have tried to reboot my pc and still no luck i have attached my model of the phone

Try this guide. It seems to be the same phone as yours.
If you are trying to go back to 4.3 from 4.4.2 then it won't be possible. You will now have to stay in KitKat only and wait for more ROM for KitKat.

Did you try flashing with update bootloader ticked? If you tried that already then I think you are going to have to wait for the hk version of kit Kat for your phone to work again.
Or try this..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=null

Hmm.
Weird.
Do you know how to use heimdall?
Use it to have a look at your pit file and compare it to the one in the CSC zip. See what all is different.
Or just post your pit here.
EDIT: Just noticed that you have a 16GB version. I don't know how to help you there, man. You need a completely different pit file. One that is designed for 16GB. But since that model was only launched in Hong Kong, I don't think you will find one from outside, unless somebody can make one specifically for you. I have been trying to learn to do that, but as of yet, I can't.
Without a proper pit file, your only options are either wait for the Hong Kong Kitkat version or try installing the Sweet ROM.

Well thats an issue because im not sure if this my right PIT FILE for this phone. Because usually it will go smoothly for these manual updates using Odin and this is my first encountering this error. And my fault i didnt backup my ROM which i should have done first before getting excited with this KitKat for my Note 3. That CSC file i got that from this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613374 and just followed instructions on how to do it, but it will just give me that error when i try to apply that method. But here's the PIT file that i got from that download.
I think its on a wrong region because i got that leaked update here http://www.sammobile.com/2014/01/13...kitkat-rolling-out-to-galaxy-note-3-sm-n9005/ and it looks like from Poland? does that matter? because my Note 3 is and HK version?
I have done so many phones rooted them and install custom roms this is the first time it failed on me. And funny thing is its my own cell phone lol

You gave me the pit file from the zip. I was asking for the one from your phone.
But anyway I found one for the 16GB version somehwere. I am taking a look at it. Will try editing it to fit your needs. Give me a little while.
And yes, it matters, because the pit file determines the sizes of the various partitions. Since yours is a 16GB version, the pit from a 32GB won't work.

Try flashing this tar file. Put it in the CSC part of the Odin.
Though I can't guarantee anything. First time, I am doing anything like this.

That shouldn't have failed, CSC mismatch is not a cause of flash failure. Can you provide more details?
Hm...
Hi guys,
I had an issue similar to this and have no recollection what I did to fix it. I don't even think that I fixed it, ever. Meaning - no stock ROM install for me for months and months now.
I just downloaded some AOSP/TW ROM and flashed. Are you able to get to the custom recovery? Please confirm - I've read somewhere that you can flash stock from custom recovery. I did try a few "PIT" files, with no help.
P.S. I remembered a bit now. I was finally able to flash it through Odin, but entered boot loop. So, no go!
My eyes are on this thread.
Good luck,
Sonny B.

If it was a pass message on odin it shouldve worked go into recovery mode and do a factory reset from there it should work it happened with me too but remember dont leave the phone switched on as its stuck in boot loop cause when the powers dead ur phone wont charge any more it would keep thinking as if its not bieng charged if thats what u did i recommend making a factory cable search it on google and charge from that so the device knows its bieng charged once the wipe data is done reset and hopefully it would work if not i think u should flash another stock rom again i hope i helped

Hello Everyone, i got a note 3 phone
SM-N9005 FCC ID: A3LSMN9005
SSN:- N9005GSMH
MADE IN VIETNAM BY SAMSUNG..
i bought this note 3 phone from UAE and it was with Kitkat 4.4.2 and when i was using it, some apps used to stop and not responding and get a pop-up message "System has stopped" or something like .com.system has stopped responding, also when i open some other apps the phone shuts down, so i turn it on, sometimes it works fine and sometimes it stops responding and shut down many times, so i had to make a full restore factory reset and still have the same problem, some guys told me you have problems with the rom, so i had to look for stock roms to it and found a lollipop rom under this name (AP_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar) and i installed samsung usb drivers just to make sure that everything is okay.
so when i started flashing it by odin it said Fail, so i tried once again but failed again, and i found my phone went to that black screen with (firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again), i couldn't get to my previous kitkat rom after that, but i'm able to go to download mode and recovery mode, so after this( brick) i had to search of how to unbrick it so after that i flashed philz as a recovery mode, and then flashed (All samsung recovery.tar) so then after flashing it, that message of (firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again) is gone, but i got another loop of restart each time i open the phone, it is not booting it is only taking me to the black start screen of android, and after a while it restarts itself.. and then when i tried to flash the same rom once again and connected my phone to my computer, drivers started configuring and so i waited to finish, but it failed it said (MTP USB Device Failed), though i still can see the phone connected over Odin in download mode.
so i had to look for another rom which is a kitkat stock version (N900TUVUCNB4_N900TTMBCNB4_N900TUVUCNB4_HOME.tar) which i found after downloading it and flashing it to my phone that it is for n900, which is normally failed flashing!.
so I don't know if i messed things up or not, and i really don't know what else or more to do ?
please give me your advice so i can restore this phone to its original stats.
Thank You!​
Are you sure the first firwmware you flashed is a full stock firmware?. What is the size?.
The second firmware you flashed isn't for n9005. Try different firmware specifially for UAE.

1. Go to Download Mode.
2. Tell me if you can flash this ONE using ODIN. It's the latest for KSA (Country Saudi Arabia).

Choose corresponding file for BL, AP, CP & CSC. Do not tick repartition. You could also try with the firmware as suggested by joku

You have repartion ticked but without a pit file, so obviously it will fail.

[Q] Note 3 N9005 Official Rom Update (changing version)

Hi. I've searched and found some ''usefull'' information, but none with a clear anwser to my question or a success/fail detail.
I have an HongKong (TGY) N9005 16GB, with the SW Version N9005ZHUENH4 (4.4 TGY Hong Kong)
There is no update for this ROM to Android 5 ithink. (well, mine says the SW has been modifield). I don't have root, and yes, tried to factory reset, and remove sdcard, but says the same ''software modified".
My questions are:
-Can I flash via odin, any european 5.0 oficial kdz ROM of N9005 16GB, to update my phone, without any problem?
-If yes, I only need a correspondent .pit file, and the rom?
-There will not be any issues like loosing IMEI, or no network ou something like that?
I want to stay on an original ROM with all Samsung features, without root.
Thank you!

Hi. Tks for helping. So my CSC Code is TGY. I can Install any 5.0 TGY rom for N9005?
I have 3 TGY 5.0 Rom's available. Don't need the .pit file, just flash and should be ok without imei problems or network problems?
Or should I make a backup of something first?

Yes, you can. Always is good:
1. Copy all the internal memory folders to your pc.
2. Make a backup of your EFS folder with this APP to your pc too.
3. It's better flash with ODIN the latest firmware for your device. It's this ONE . You don't need pit file and you don't gona have problems with IMEI or signal if your device is totally original. The update don't make factory reset (like in the pic attached).

Joku1981 sorry for messing you, just one more question. If I want to fully format and install the firmware (not upgrading, but wipe everything), what options do I need to check on ODIN?

You don't need use ODIN for that. Go to Settings - Backup and reset - (Check the options you wish: Backup my data, backup account, automatic restore) Factory data reset. Done.

Wifi and Bluetooth Problem!

Flashed Phoenix,used several days,suddenly wifi disconnected then in a few seconds connected again,it looped and I rebooted to find wifi isn't working at all,stuck at opening and grey button.
Then I flashed back to morphose,still the same.
So I flashed via Odin the latest Chinese official firmware(ZC???OH2) with 11G pit.This time I got about 15 mins of stable connection.After that the problem occurred again,exactly the same.:crying::crying:
Below is what I have done:
Pressing around the sdcard (it is said to be where the wifi chip is located,and it maybe caused by poor contact)
Reboot a thousand times
Changing kernel(kingz,stock,voltaqe)
Wiping cache and Dalvik
Mortifying build.prop to ro.securestorage.support (maybe not exact)from true to false(said to be a solution)
Forgot to mention :
1.the firmware was a repair firmware(five .md5 files)
2.in that firmware not only wifi but also Bluetooth fails to open
Download the latest single tar.md5 file from sammobile.com or updato.com and flash again. Don't forgot to perform a factory reset from stock recovery before letting the stock ROM boot for the first time.

Thanks for your reply
Should it be 8gb pit or 11gb?
And should it be my region or just the latest firmware no matter from where?
Flash the version for the region that the phone was made for.
Pit file is not needed unless Odin can't read the phone partition information.

Sorry for bothering again,but i found it was made for Europe.On updato there seems to be no region "europe",only Germany.So which one shall i flash?
Thanks in advance☺
You can try one for Germany. If it is not made for your phone, Odin will halt the flash process.

I began to wonder if it is correct that the device is European,for it was bought in offical China mainland market?But imei also showed that?
I am such a noob at coping with this kind of weird issue
Anyway i will download both ones and give a try in several days,the download speed is rather slow from updato:crying:
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using XDA Labs
Wait, if it was purchased in China, it's probably made for the Chinese market and will need the firmware version made for one of the Chinese carriers. Odin will not flash non-China firmware on a made-for-China phone.

Attachment is my imei searching result,it is shown made for Europe.Besides,I remember flashing other region firmwares and booted normally
And with China baseband I have very bad signal but after flashing other ones it is far better...so I guess it might be a phone wrongly sent to China market or something like that?
The connection to updato is so unstable that I still haven't finished downloading?
Edit:screenshots removed
Boot into download mode and confirm that the phone is a gt-i9500. If it is, flash the latest ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com for the 9500. You'll probably be okay with any ROM from Europe.
Don't flash with a pit file as a pit file is only needed if you need to re-partition the internal memory for some reason or Odin cannot read the phone's partition information.
Edit your post to remove your imei too.

No,still no luck at all,wlan still does not work...Whats more in germany firmware i also get "com.android.media has stopped"
This is killing me,my network provider uses TD-SCDMA for 3G,but i9500 don't support that,so i can only use EDGE network,which is extremely slow.Anyway maybe I'll get another phone next month:victory:

Finally discovered something new.I am on miui8,when charging to 100% wifi connects,and it wont disconnect even unplug the cable until you do a reboot!Dont know if it works on other roms,but it does throw new light on the issue.
But...how does this happen?
This is very strange. I've never come across this situation with any phone.

Thank you!It is said that Wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip,so if bluetooth is now always working even wifi is broken then it cannot be a hardware failure,can it?
It could be a hardware failure but now I'm not sure since you got it to work on a custom ROM.

After testing for an afternoon I discovered:
Wifi will be unable to use the moment battery drops to 81%,it doesnt turns off,but simply shows no item in the list.
If I plug the charger and restart wifi,then it works properly.
If I restart wifi without charging,wifi will be stuck and I have to charge then reboot the phone to get it on again.
Wow, this is even more strange.
Do you have a cell repair shop that can diagnose it for you?

Yeah,but i'd rather get a new phone if it takes much time or money to repair it.The phone is still my daily driver,though i love it,it is indeed out of date,plus the problem.Getting something like a Redmi 5A might be a better choice?Moreover the rom is not that stable,battery life is also poor,but i dare not flash another rom for fear that wifi gets totally broken.
Thanks again for your time?
In this case, have you looked into getting a used motherboard?
I'm not sure where you are located but there is a big market in my city for used phones. When I need a motherboard, I look for people selling phones with smashed screens and working internal components.
