According to the screenshots, your baseband and imei appear to be fine. Try the following:
1- To make sure your sim card is fine, put your sim card into another phone to see if it works. Or put another sim card to this phone to see if the problem persists?
2- Please post the following screenshots:
- If you have root, open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > *#197328640# > 'Launch 0' > BASIC INFORMATION (capture screenshot #1) > Menu - Back > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION (capture screenshot #2) > Menu - Back > MM REJECT CAUSE (capture screenshot #3).
- If you don't have root, open the dialer > *#0011# (capture screenshot #1) > Menu - Back > Menu - Key Input > Q0 > wait... > DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION (capture screenshot #2) > Menu - Back > MM REJECT CAUSE (capture screenshot #3).
And post these 3 screenshots for more investigation.

when i try the dialer, it will always say "mobile network not available", the only thing i can do with the dialer is the *#06#, i have already used different sim cards that always work with other phones but still wont work with my samsung

If those codes do not work on your dialer, no need root for it to work.
Do you have root?

Access Point Names is only needed for data connection. It is not required to register on mobile network.
- Please check if you have a valid Baseband?
- Make sure your network settings is set to Auto Mode.

Ok thanks, I have seen these screens before but I forgot completely.
You can change to another network. If the blacklist was broadcasted over all networks in your country so the only option for you is selling it oversea.
While you are in the MAIN MENU screen, can you select DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION and show the info?

According to the screenshot, the cause of the problem is IMSI (SIM card identity) unknown in HLR (Home Location Register).
That means your SIM card has not been registered (is unknown) in the mobile network.
I don't know why????

Hummh, nothing here, may be because you have selected "RESET MM&GMM REJECT List" to clear the history.
According to the previous screenshot, as I've said, the cause of problem is your SIM card has not been registered (is unknown) in your mobile network. However this problem happens with many sim card, and your sim card work fine on the other phone (your S2). It sounds weird...

Yes, you are right.
If you have root, download Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > Secret Codes > 197328640 > Launch 0 > NAS INFO > MM REJECT CAUSE and show the screenshot.
If you don't have root, in the *#0011# screen > Menu > back > Menu > Keyinput > Q0 > DEBUGSCREEN > NAS INFO > MM REJECT CAUSE and also show the screenshot.

No I don't tab the reset,
1.) I just try to search for network,
2.) it shows all here in Austria available networks,
3.) I try auto connect to network, -> Fail,
4.) then I run the service mode again, it shows same result.
I run Csc VerifierLog. this shows many fail.
Did you see the substate is NoIMSI? Maybe something wrong with your SIM card? Did you try putting that SIM card into another phone to see if it works?

And also try to re-flash the stock firmware for your device. That may help to fix the problem with CSC Verify.
In the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, open the Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to get a link of the stock firmware for your device.
Ok, the story is like that.
My son in law visit me here in Austria, and just befor he fly home again to the philippines, he buy him a Note 3 (SM-N9005) from here in Austria.
But he don't read the sticker on the box, " Europe Model" it has to be used with a europian SIM CARD before it can be used with a asian SIM.
So he just went to a mobile store in the Philippines and tell them to open the SIM lock.
After this the phone not work anymore right, it operate very slow. So finaly he send it back to me, by Fedex.
I take it to the "Mobile Store" here in Austria, but the told me the can't fix it becouse the " IMEI is lost 00/00" and in the Service menu ( *#0011#) it shows IMEI CERTI: FAIL.
So I bring it back home and try to fix it.
The Status now is:
1.) I write the IMEI back with this tool: EFS_Professional_2.1.73 ---> it works great my Imei is back
2.) I flash many moden.bin's until I'm sucsessful, and now my " IMEI Certi is : PASS
3.) If I try to use the phone, everything looks fine baseband is there the phone is fast, the only thing, if I try to use it as a phone, it say's " Not registerd to a Network" Emergency call only"
So I don't know waht the to in the Philippines, when the try to unlook it.
If I look in the Service Mode, it shows Service Limited.
Any Idea ?
Maybe the way EFS_Professional_2.1.73 generate the IMEI, is not the right way. If I put (*#06#)
it shows the right IMEI, but maybe the phone SW look in a other part of the memory for the IMEI?
do you have any idea?

For now I can only suggest 2 things:
1- Put your sim card into another phone to make sure it works fine?
2- Perform factory reset your phone and try again.
Hi,
I also have the same problem Samsung Note-3 showing Limited Service.
I have followed the stage showed above.I used the app Phone Info (that u shown).
IMEI is still there.
Root Existence says yes.
Android version is 5.0.Build.
Build Number is LRX21V.N900KKKU0G0J2.
MM reject cause is the same as vndnguyen (but my substate is normal)
The man from the service shop just keeping saying to change ICU.
But I don't want to change ICU. I want to try to fix it by myself.
I am just a phone seller so I don't know deep down the code.
I can just follow the step.
By the way I don't know how to attach image(it is not like using gmail instead it reques link)

[Q] SM-N9005 LTE problem [International Version]

Hi,
My problem is that even though my carrier and my area are LTE enabled, I still don't get any LTE signal what so ever. It worked before I did something in the Maintance menu and have factory reseted it since, but still it dosen't work.
I'll attach info which will most likely help.
The first screencap is when I did the *#1234#
Could someone help me as I would most likely need to modem to be reflashed, but I cannot find the right one for my international version.
Here is a list of modems/basebands....http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/ref-galaxy-note-3-sm-n9005-gsm-modems-t2842806
But first check APN settings....Go to Mobile Network - Access Point Names and see if you have a APN.....if you do open it and almost at the bottom you see Bearer....i usually need to set it to LTE.
Hope it helps!

Phone Nightmare, i dont know what i have done :(

i just bought the phone yesterday screwed up and ive been working on it for over 15 hours and im hoping someone of expertise can get me out of this issue.
I have a N9005 , SN: RF1D963X6PD
I live in Canada and use Wind Mobile (AWS BANDS) same as tmobile. I bought the phone and insterted my sim and noticed that i would only connect roaming. I then figured out that i had bought a international version and it didnt have the bands i needed to connect to AWS bands. So stupid me... not backing up anything... at all, thought it would be fine to use QPST and restore it with a AWS file that i always used to enable aws bands on a S4. Didnt work so i came across this thread and noticed someone mentioned somthing about using the note 2 qpst file , that also didnt work.I then noticed that my phone showed no bars or roaming. I go into mobile networks settings to search for a network and it just searches and never stops or sometimes it will say error. My imei still shows.
Im on Sammobile.com trying differant firmwares for the n9005 with odin and no luck, they all boot up and show no bars, no networks nothing, i feeling im looking in the wrong area of where the problem is. Im not sure what i have done. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I don't know where I should start from, but here are some suggestions:
1- Try to flash the original stock firmware for your device. You can find your original CSC using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, look for the 'Original CSC' in the 'CSC INFO' section. Then open the menu 'Firmware Browser', enter that CSC into the CSC textbox to search and download the firmware.
2- Open the dialer > *#0011# (capture screenshot #1) > Menu - Back > Menu - Key Input > Q0 > wait... > DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION (capture screenshot #2) > Menu - Back > MM REJECT CAUSE (capture screenshot #3). And post those 3 screenshots for more investigation.
3- If you want to add some bands to the phone, you may need the Qualcomm NV Calculator app.

Thanks for responding vndnguyen,
1, i did as you said and coincidently the firmware that it suggested was the same one i had already installed (which seems to the be most stable one of the ones ive tried) so im not sure if the csc code was just reading what i had already flashed or if it was a coincidence i flashed the one i was supposed to. But i did a fresh flash, wiped everything, clean cache and flashed and samething no bars.
2, when i try to go to service mode using *#0011# , its all blank, so no luck in screenshoting anything.
3, i installed nv calculator and wrote the code for my requested on NV 1877, but no change.
I screenshoted some info in phone info samsung app, maybe that can somewhat help you with my issue. Check the attachment below.Thanks again

a- As we all know the Galaxy Note 3 was launched on September 2013, but your manufacturing date is 04.2013? This sounds weird.
b- Your manufacturing date does not match with the S/N, so the phone is refurbished. You can check this by open the menu 'Refurbishment Check'.
c- Actually your phone may be N900A, but it has been flashed with N9005 firmware. Can you show a hi-res picture of the back sticker, behind the battery?
d- As your Knox flag is 0x1, you can root your phone (if it has not been rooted), then open the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > 0011 > 'Launch 0', and follow the steps #2 above to take 3 screenshots for further checking.

yes you are correct, it said it was refurbished
ive attached a pic of the back sticker, im not sure if this may hint to anything, but the sticker on the back looks as if its on a slant (maybe someone changed it and put it on)
i tried what you said and once i click the launch 0 , the servicemode screen still shows up blank, i read in another thread that Samsung disabled it in N9005 ROMs. could that be why it shows up blank

The info on the back sticker are matched with the IMEI and S/N in the app. That means the back ticker are original. But the phone's hardware (mainboard) has been changed, it may be due to repairing or warranty etc...

Nope, Samsung only disable the service menu on some models (e.g Verizon). But with this tool (Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > 0011 > 'Launch 0') you can launch any secret codes that are available in your device.
Can you show me that blank screen? And also show me the screenshot of Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes'?

The info on the back sticker are matched with the IMEI and S/N in the app. That means the back ticker are original. But the phone's hardware (mainboard) has been changed, it may be due to repairing or warranty etc...

Your device has been modified in unappropriate way so all service menu do not work as expected.
I dont know what I have to suggest now. Try to flash the stock rom to get it back to the original state.

I appreciate your time and effort , one more thing before you go.
I loaded on VISION X ROM, from there i was able to capture the screen shots you requested, they are in the attachments below.
Also i looked through your app phone info samsung and it appeared all my info was quite differant from when i first showed you it, now its saying my phone is a n900t with the vision ROM, I will also attach pics below, please let me know what you think. thanks
Try flashing the stock firmware and capture screenshots again.
update
after flashin with vision x and using blaze kernel i was able to look around the service mode menue and found NV REBUILD. i just went through every menu until i found it and bam, got roaming signals back, so i was happy, now i just have to figure out how to get the aws signal working, thanks for all your help and time
So the key solution is NV REBUILD.

what code you use to enter service mode. i try a lot of codes and no one gets me there. thanks

try *#197328640# .. if that takes you to the service mode, then open the menu bar and click "key" and type "Q" , then open menu again click "key" and type "0000" (zeros) ....
if that first code doesnt get you in, use *#9090#
For some reason, that code doesn't work on many phones. You can use this way instead:
Use 'Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆' app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > 197328640 > 'Launch 0'.
Note: Root is required for it to work.
solved
many thanks my friends. *#0011# do the trick.

Does your phone also remember the IMEI? Dial *#06# and check if the number matches the original IMEI. If it's NULL or starts with 0049, that's the cause.
If the IMEI is correct, try a different SIM.

The IMEI is not null or it does not start with 0049. The IMEI on the phone and the box is correct is also correct. Also I've tried different SIM card but still getting the same message "not registered on network".

1- First, put your SIM card into another phone to make sure it works fine?
2- Second, open the Debug ServiceMode Menu and do the following: DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION (capture screenshot #1) > Menu - Back > MM REJECT CAUSE (capture screenshot #2).
And post these screenshots for further checking.
To open the Debug ServiceMode Menu:
a- If you have root, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > *#197328640# > 'Launch 0'.
b- If you don't have root, open the dialer > *#0011# > Menu - Back > Menu - Key Input > Q0 > wait... until Debug ServiceMode Menu appears.
I have a quite similar problem. My phone is a 3UK (service provider) phone. I have 2 sim cards with me (MTN & Etisalat). My phone (note3) works perfectly fine. I have even rooted to resolve this issue.
Now the issue is whenever i put my MTN sim card it works perfectly fine on Note 3, however the moment i enter my Etisalat sim it will work for 10-15 mins & will stop working. I will have network bars but when i try to make any outgoing or incoming call it does not work.
Also if i use the same etisalat sim with my iPhone 5s it works perfectly fine.
I have tried *#1234# & the information that i got is as below:
AP: N9005XXUDMJ6
CP: N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC: N9005H3GDMJ2
Some of my friends told me to upgrade it to Kitkat and that might resolve the issue but when i try to check for updates it says:
Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.
Please let me know what is the solution
Note: I am new to android world. So please consider that..

- What does it say when you make a call (incoming/outgoing)?
Please follow my above post and show screenshots for more checking.
- Regarding to upgrading it to KitKat, I doubt that will not fix your issue. However if you want to upgrade, you can flash the stock firmware via Odin. Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download the correct firmware for your device, and flash it via Odin.

When I try to make a call it just says dialing.. And when I try to get incoming call it says switched off..
I have tried to check for firmware in phone info and got N9005XXUGNH1 . Not sure if I should install that or not.
Attached are the NAS info & firmware in phone info.

1- Please check and make sure if date/time setting is correct? Or it was not correct?
2- In ServiceMode Menu, select CALL END CAUSE and show the screenshot?

I asked for the date/time settings as in the MM REJECT CAUSE screenshot there is only log from the past. No any new log.
The screenshots you have shown are from the MTN sim card, right?
All info seem to be fine, I don't know why it cannot make or receive a call.
If possible, try to take screenshots for both SIM cards and compare to see if there is any differences.
EDIT: Oh NO, you need to show me screenshots from the sim card that doesn't work, NOT screenshots from the sim card that works fine.

Yes i have taken it from MTN sim which is working perfectly fine. Even my etisalat sim works for like 20 mins before it stops working.
Also i am downloading the N9005XXUGNH1 from Sammobile as you have mentioned before. But will it resolve the issue?
Attached is the screenshot of the same.
OK will attach the Etisalat sim & will upload in 5 mins
Attached are the screenshots of MM info, MM reject cause.
I am unable to open CALL END Cause. The moment i tap on it, it goes back to DEBUG Screen
I have tried to compare MM info, Reject cause with both the sim cards entering one by one & found out everything is same in Reject cause.
But MM info there is a slight change in MMC-MNC: 621-30 (MTN which works fine) & MMC - MNC: 621 - 60 (Etisalat which is not working)
LAC: 2ae8, RAC: 9 (MTN) & LAC: 7d15, RAC: 4
There are some changes in TMSI which is think is some sort of id.
Also want to know if I install N9005XXUGNH1 firmware on my samsung note 3 will this issue resolve?

From the screenshots it appears to be fine on both sim card.
You should take a screenshots when it becomes not working (after 20 min...)
