Dear all,
You are my last resort. I've been trying to find out how to fix the problem, but no success...
My Note3, 9005 (bought new, without contract), has never been rooted or modified in any way. Current version is 4.4.2. IMEI is fine. Well, I am a regular user, who keeps updating the phone, when there's an update from samsung OTA.
I've been using the phone for 1.5 year, everything was fine. I recently switched the operators (Belgium) maintaining the same phone number. And there the problems started.
Very often I get "no service" message, although data connection works fine. I tried automatic and manual selection of the network, but the problem remains. When I select automatic network, I get the message "registerred on network", but "no service" sign remains and get no call connection (data connection works fine). When I select the network manually, I get a brief message "registerred on network", but still no service and then "the network is unavailable"/
I contacted the operator, they claim that my account is fine, they see no problems on their systems. The interesting thing is, that other operators SIMs work fine with my Note. Apparently, it is only my current SIM which fails to work. I have two different phone numbers SIMs from this operator and they both have a frequent "no service" in my Note. I have also requested a new SIM, which again did not work... The same SIM works fine in Sony Xperia. I have also tried that same SIM in galaxy s3 (LTE). And there was again a problem with connection, i.e. no service, but data functions fine. I have also tried different modes (3G, 4G), the problems remain. It looks like it is the problem with samsung devices.
This is the time when I really need the phone for my work...I keep failing my clients because they cannot get hold of me. And changing the phone number and operator would be very inconvenient at this time.
Is there anything I could do to fix it?

try to flash stock firmware of your country via odin. i hope its work.
Nico, many thanks!
I understand my phone was brought from the UK. But currently I am in Belgium. Could you please tell me, what country firmware should I use, what specific firmware I have to flash? (I would appreciate if someone could refer me to a download link...I am not very good with these types of things, I am afraid to mess things even further...)
rooted, reinstalled stock 4.4.2. Now when making a call, the network dissapears and connection dissapears and becomes "no service", therefore the problem remains. data connection works fine.
guys, please advice, what can i do to fix it? should i go for other ROMs (not stock), would that help?
i've read about ariza patch, but did not understand whether it is available for note 3 4.4.2.

1. Install Kies 3 and conect your phone to the pc.
2. Take a look your CSC (pic attached)
3. Go to Sammobile.com and download the correct firmware (with correct CSC) for your device.
4. Flash this firmware through ODIN.
5. Enjoy :highfive:

Joku, thank you very much for your reply!
But I think I did exactly what you have recommended in the first attempt - flashed the stock version. Please see the pics of kies and suggested sammobile firmware attached. ...But "no service" problem remains. Althoug, I must say, it goes away from time to time (better than it was without reinstall). Maybe I should go for other country firmware (for example Belgium, where I am currently based and where the problems persist)???
After reinstall my firmware is:

All seems ok. Make a thing:
1. Backup your data and factory reset your phone (Pic attached)
2. Tell me if you have service then.
This is obviously a carrier issue as you stated yourself other carriers work fine. You can waste your time throwing things at the problem, but I'm highly confident it's not going to be fixed by anything you do.

It does sound like a provider problem...
Try a factory reset first, just to be sure. Best do it through recovery, so you can wipe the cache as well.
Does the no service happen everywhere? Or just in specific places?

Thank you all for your replies.
The problem is that the same 'no service' SIM works fine in another phone (sony xperia), the provider will claim that it is note3 fault.
I did factory reset after I reinstalled the stock version.
It looks like ' no service' appears when the phone changes the cell/network towers when travelling from one location to another. .. But I can't say that it is always the case. I just don't find any logical reason to fully explain that.
The weirdest thing is that data connection works fine always.

It is probably related to the way your provider does the 2G/3G/4G band allocation and switching - what provider is that?
You can also try to set the data to "3G only" vs "LTE/3G/auto" and see if is any difference.
The provider is Base (via virtual network provider).
I've tried everything, including changing to 4g, 3g, etc. Nothing helped : (
Should I try flashing different modems? The question is, which versions should I go for. ..?
updated to lollipop. no changes
I still haven't solved this issue. I just updated to lollipop (via CrashRom), the problem with "no service" remains.
Is there anyone with similar problems, who was able to find an answer? What else could I try? Should I try flashing different modems? Could anyone help me choosing which modems should I try?
pleeeease.... : )
anyone please?
can I try flashing different (older) modems? would that mess up my curent rom?

Check this post for downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat.
Regarding to "No service" problem, go to the ServiceMode MAIN MENU and try NV REBUILD.
To open the ServiceMode MAIN MENU:
- If you have root, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > *#27663368378# > 'Launch 0'.
- If you don't have root, open the dialer > *#0011# > Menu - Back > Menu - Key Input > Q0 > wait... until it appears
iritoi said:
firstly, many thanks for your advice to rebuild nv.
i did as you explained, but... it did not help.
i went through all of the options available, flashed stock firmware, flashed various roms. nothing helps. what's interesting that i have call availability (service) for some time, but when i move to different area, the service dissapears and i have to turn on/off airplane mode. and this happens with specifically one provider (mobile vikings/base - belgium). if i insert the other provider sim, note 3 works fine.
my imei is ok.
pleeease help me to fix this problem. what else can i do? is theo nly option left to change provider?

Your best bet is flashing back to original stock firmware.
And try to check your SIM card in your Note 3 by follow these steps:
In the ServiceMode MAIN MENU, select DEBUG SCREEN > SIM INFORMATION, you will see 3 options. Select every option, capture screenshots and post it here more more checking.

In the band frequency it says "unexpected value". Maybe that has something to do with the problem... Or am I being listened by secret services : )

Mine are the same.
Except for the 1st screen: SIM Phase = 2; SIM voltage class = 3V.
The 2nd and 3rd screens are the sme.
is there a way to see the reason why the network is being disconnected via service menu?
...because when i turn airplane on/off, the network comes back. but when i dial the number it disappears right away with the message "network not available".

Yes there is. Here is how:
- If you have root, install 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).

Hi,
The first thing would be to check your CSC and modem firmware. Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get all major info about the phone. It is important to know when you are going to flash another stock firmware.
I had issues last week with data and it was caused by bad CSC/modem. Flashed everything back to stock with official firmwares from SamMobile and it fixed my issues. After that, I was able to flash my custom ROM and everything is smooth sailing since then.
Let me know if you require more help.

Thanks for help bro. I took a screen shot of my info. I'm not sure why it shows bmc when I downloaded the rwc files. And is the product code correct?, also I never seen the code for csc modem before. Is it not suppose to match baseband, pda, bootloader
Everything is good, you're almost there.
You have the right firmware but now you need to fix your CSC. The stock ROM is multi CSC so Rogers (RWC) is already installed but it chooses Bell (BMC) by default. What you can try :
- Power off your phone
- Remove SIM card and power on (your phone will start and say : no sim card)
- Power off and wait a moment
- Insert your Rogers SIM card and power on your phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Up, Home and Power on boot). If you have:
#manual mode#
--appling multi-csc...
applied the csc code : RWC
successfully applied multi-csc
That means that your CSC has been changed to Rogers. Problem should be fixed.
If not, the app you downloaded contains a CSC Changer but it will wipe your data. Make sure to have backups beforehand.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for all the help man, did the sim thing and it just loaded me into twrp and i didnt see an option so I changed it via the app. Same thing still got the 4G and bell bloat. But csc now says bmc/rwc
Ok. Try this now :
You must dial the following key sequence to bring up a regional carrier menu: *#272*[IMEI]# (that is *#272* (your IMEI number) #) - You'll find your IMEI in the Phone Info app.
When the menu comes up, select the regional code for Rogers RWC. The phone will now go through a reset/boot sequence and come this time, it should read the APN settings from your SIM card and viola, you now have LTE. If you do not see LTE but 3G, you will need to ensure your APN settings are correct and then go into the Network Mode and ensure you have LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto mode) selected.
Let me know how it goes.

When you flashed back to stock ROM, did you do a full wipe before?
It is really important that you do a full wipe so that it doesn't leave any traces of your old installs.
Try to flash via Odin (while your phone is on Download Mode). Check the AP and the CSC box and input the stock file from SamMobile.
Let me know if it fixes it.
Hello,
I bought my Note 3 mobile and decided to flash C-Rom!
At the morning of one day I flashed the rom successfully. Later I installed all apps I wanted. I have my phone rebooted a lot of times with no problem. Some time at the afternoon of the same day I pick up the phone to stare at it! I activated the LTE option and deactivate it again. This was not the first time of doing it! After that the network signal was missing! I rebooted the phone, but it doesn't ask me for a PIN any more. I used my sim at another phone and it asked for a PIN. I used another SIM at my phone but it didn't ask for a PIN.
After dialing *#06# at Dialer a popup dialog shows up. The title of this dialog is MEID and the content is B0000000!
At settings>About phone>Status> the MEID is full of zeroes but the IMEI seems OK.
At the same screen i see the following:
Network - Searcing for Service
Mobile network type - Unknown
Mobile netwok state - Disconected
Service state - Out of service
My phone number - Unknown
MIN - Unknown
PRL version - Uknown
ICCID - Unknown
Thanks everyone in advance
Very strange.... without doing anything like flashing stock or modem?????

The reason is unknown but it seems like your phone lost a valid IMEI/baseband.
Can you check the Baseband version?
Try to flash the stock firmware, or flash the baseband for your device.
The problem suddenly appeared and that's what makes me feel uncomfortable. The baseband number is N9005XXUENC2. I will try to flash whole firmware, but does anyone know how can I flash only the baseband? I don't want to stay with the original ROM!

Finally I was able to solve the problem. It is a problem with C-Rom and 4g option. I am going to write a new reply by tomorrow and also to the forum. I appreciate the help guys.
Thanks a lot
The problem is with the LTE activation/deactivation.
I am from Greece with COSMOTE provider. Here, in Greece, at the moment we have to pay an extra fee to the provider in order to have the option of using 4g. The steps as I believe are the following:
1). I am not paying this fee at the moment so I am not able to use 4g.
2). I activate 4g and immediately I deactivated it. I did not want to open it, just touching the selection at the notifications. This option is at the notifications when you slide down the notification bar using 2 fingers.
3). Then the signal goes off and I had to re-flash stock rom once again before flashing the custom rom. The problem has to do only with the signal and everything else works as charm in the C-ROM.
The C-ROM version which has this problem is this C-RoM-KK-v7.1-20140622-hlte.zip
i9505 no signal connection or 3g/ 4g """"""SOLUTION FOUND TO ALL USERS!!!!!""""""

Your digging around has misled you. The GT-I9505 has 2100MHz support for 3g, as noted here, here, and here. It also has 2100MHz support for LTE. So something else is causing your issue. Are you certain your phone isn't in fact getting an LTE signal instead of 3G?
monteiro-ribas said:
So in my country all service providers work with 3g at 2100 frequency, why does my s4 doesn't connect to 3g?
Well... sadly after digging around i found out that the phone doesn't support 2100 frequency.
It's the official firmware for this country, was bought in this country but only gets 2g and 4g
any way to solve this mess? most of the data signal comes from 3g signal, if i'm inside of a building i only have gsm data :crying:

Inside the buildings there is no 4g cover, i really need the 3g
Based upon the information you've provided, you're on the Baltic Black Edition firmware (CSC SEB). The firmware here though doesn't appear to be the problem. The problem is that you need to clear up some confusion here. You're saying you can't get LTE, are using unbranded firmware, yet your phone is locked to a carrier.
In an attempt to clear up things, please provide us with the missing information below, and confirm any already provided information is correct.
1. Model Number
Answer: GT-I9505, based upon the title of the thread.
2. Android Version, found by going to Settings > More > About device.
Answer: 4.4.2, based upon the firmware information.
3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing and running Phone Info from the Play Store.
Answer: AP and CP I9505XXUGNJ8, CSC I9505YXXGNK1, which using the sammobile.com firmware checker links to the Baltic Black Edition firmware.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)
Answer: No, if you're able to pull up the firmware version via *#1234#.
You seem extremely knowledgable on this subject, would you mind if i picked your brain ???? Ive been having a similar problem:

NOS (formerly PT Multimedia, ZON Multimedia and ZON Optimus). You will have to flash the latest firmware for your locked device. Download, unzip and flash this firmware via ODIN: HERE.
thanks but as i said before, i've tried many stock firmware, including that... that was te first one because i also thought that was something related to simlock
i will send the phone to warranty, or try at least
@Joku1981: If I didn't have to work today I would have told him the same thing.
@monteiro-ribas: If you intend on having the phone swapped out, you might want to flash the correct firmware that Joku1981 provided the link to before sending the phone in. I do hope you let us know if you get your issue resolved and whether it actually was the phone or, alternatively, the service.

My original post in modems:
Ok guys, my kingdom for a solution, please !!!
Here's the deal, I have a samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505 bought in hong kong, worked flawlessly for over a year on Telcel Mexico network, took a trip overseas to France bought a sim put it in the phone, worked great !!!!, came home put in my original sim and since then my S4 has been unable to maintain a stable 3g connection, usually connects for a under a minute and reverts back to edge. I've tried many different things recommended on this and other forums:
1.- removing/replacing sim card
2.- removing/replacing battery for over 4 hrs
3.- tried different sim cards from different carriers with same result
4.- wipe and clean install with different firmwares
5.- installed cyanogenmod latest
6.- under network modes, tried selecting every combination of lte, 3g, 2g, automatic network registration and selecting my preferred network.
7.- tried flashing over 30 different modems
8.- flashed latest firmware from sammobile specific to my phone (I9505ZHUFNL1_I9505ZZHFNL1_TGY)
9.- took it to a "technician" and he managed to return my phone in the exact same condition with the exception that now the wifi didnt work (i managed to fix this on my own)
10.- installed advanced signal status from play store which gave acces to other goodies such as selecting radio band between automatic, europe and usa, tried everyone of them with no solution.
Tried to be as thorough as possible, hope someone out there has a solution. I thank you all for your time and experience. Happy Holidays !!!!! I hope I am posting in the correct area, i searched and found this is the place where my problem seems to be discussed
P.D. Since im flashing GPE right now the screenshots no longer reflect what im on but I do have a nandroid back up of this rom and I am about to restore it.
Hope I was thorough, thanks for any help

Confused
monteiro-ribas said:
So in my country all service providers work with 3g at 2100 frequency, why does my s4 doesn't connect to 3g?
Well... sadly after digging around i found out that the phone doesn't support 2100 frequency.
It's the official firmware for this country, was bought in this country but only gets 2g and 4g
any way to solve this mess? most of the data signal comes from 3g signal, if i'm inside of a building i only have gsm data :crying:
SOLUTION:
THIS IS FOR ALL WITH NO CONNECTION OR CONNECTION ISSUES, DUE TO UNLOCK OR NOT
before you begin, if your phone is not factory unlocked, you will lose your aftermarket unlock
donwload the rar file
extract content, install all
on the phone:
Type *#9090# Select option 2 (DM/DUN over HSIC)
and
Type *#7284# it will open a new menu or If *#7284# does nothing type
*#0808#
. In this new menu:
- Set USB to AP
- Set USB settings to DM+Modem+ADB
login to server for free... user : test pass: 123unlock
click advanced, read nvm to do backup, now select write, search for i9505 repair file, and proceed
after 3 min phone will reboot, you will not have network connection!
INSTALL your firmware from sammobile, let it finish... let the phone power on, and when reboot is complete, power off, enter recovery mode and format your phone to factory specs (down volume+home button+power on)
your done, enjoy!

Downloaded SRS tool from another link which finally gave me access to Samsung Remote Unlock Client, followed the steps in the guide, used the file provided in this guide and everything seems to be working for now, gonna test for a couple of days and will update.
I have attached the files I successfully used. Great many thanks to the OP and to the 123unlock team, had this problem for over a month and fingers crossed this appears to have solved it. THANKS
it worked
Thank you all. This solved the no 3g problem on my i9505

Hello, i need the steps to. the link is broken.
By
I'm not a 100% sure how this problem occurred, I believe it was after flashing an S5 custom rom called: "RC Elite S5 Port V16" To my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900W8). From what I was reading it was a ROM that "converts" your note 3 to a note 4 or s5, while still having all the Note 3 features. Another possible cause is trying to use RegionLock Away.apk by Chainfire to essentially(unlock) the phone. I feel like this is the main cause though as this affects the modem on the phone. This isn't the SIM as I tried it in another phone and works fine with calls and texts.
My phone doesn't want to register its mobile network anymore. When I try to make a call or text it says:
"Not Registered on network"
I was reading online for about 2-3days now for possible solutions that can cure this. Such as:
1. Going into Mobile Networks settings and manually register [failed, details below]
2. Going into Mobile Networks settings, hold home button for 2seconds and then hold power button + home button for 15seconds [failed, details below]
3. Taking out battery while the phone is on and remove the SIM card, clean it and re-insert [failed]
4. Factory Reset [Failed]
5. Wipe Storage and re-flash stock ROM [Failed]
Options 1 & 2 do not work because when I try to access Mobile Network Settings I get this:
"Insert SIM card to access network services"
The SIM card is inside the phone though...
So what I did is found a mobile network options shortcut "program" from GooglePlay Store and installed it. It allows me to access the menu, which is great! Now, when I try to register the SIM card to my correct service provider (BELL CANADA)...it will make me wait for about 1-2minutes before I get "Unable to register, try later" error.
I tried the factory restore with a stock 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile and the issue is still there.
Is there anything that anyone knows that can help me resolve this problem? I tried EVERYTHING i can possibly find on Google. I've seen posts of people suggesting to flash a modem.bin file with Odin but I don't know where to get those files, nor what to look for in terms of modem file "types".

I tried region unlocking it with RegionLock Away by Chainfire. I would like to say afterwards this issue occurred but as far as im concerned, using a TELUS Mobility sim card activates the network pin unlock. So i'll be going with no, it's not unlocked.
I currently have a Bell LTE 4G SIM card installed on the phone. If you check the photos there it shows I have a full connection but unable to make calls nor access the mobile networks menu.... =/
I can provide pictures on the error messages if you'd like.

Edit: I'm performing a factory reset right now. I'll let you know if this fixes it. Thanks.

Do one thing.
1. Turn off the phone. Take a out the simcard and battery for some min.
2. Add the battery only. Turn on the phone and factory reset your device (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Insert SIMCARD without turn off the phone.

They there! I tried to follow all the steps to the best of my ability but it seemed that didn't work. For 1, the note 3's sim card slot is blocked by the battery so i can't take it out without turning it off. In addition, after only inserting the battery and performing the factory reset, I decided to test it and the issue is STILL there even though a sim card isn't even inserted AFTER the factory reset. Same error messages as if nothing ever happened, even shows full bar reception even though nothing is in there. =/
This is the most unique problem I have ever encountered myself. I really don't know what to say...

Bumping.
After some more research I was wondering if you reflash the stock firmware back, does it effect the EFS partition at all? Cause if it doesn't I believe I installed a faulty EFS partition accidentally which results in the broken connection.
Any way I can get a backup of an EFS file that I can flash?
Thanks.
Bump. This issue is driving me nuts.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks in advance for the replies.
I had this same problem earlier (for a note 2) in the week where it just wont register any sim card.
In my case i think the problem was that i did a full format before flashing which probably deleted the EFS folder.
I tried so many options and eventually managed to resolve it by following the following instructions to restore the stock firmware.

Hey there!
Thanks for your swift reply! I had already did the Samsung Recovery via Kies 3. Do you know if I reflash it that way that the EFS folder would get flashed as well? Because after doing those steps the issue is still there, after about 3 firmware recovery flashes. xD
I didn't even think about backing up the stupid EFS folder otherwise I would have. I was looking at this

Is this the same one? xD
Thanks again.
Hello.
I am facing a frustrating issue with a Samsung S7 Edge G935F that came into my hands from a client of mine. It has the usual issue with the “Not registered on Network”, always in “Emergency calls only” mode. I have tried everything I can think of and searched for in Google and nothing worked. The phone is from Romania and has the Romanian firmware 6.0.1 (open carrier, not locked) and he wants to use it in Greece.
Here is what I tried:
-Flashed older firmware with Odin, just in case
-Flashed the latest again (6.0.1 December 2016) with Odin (BL,AP,CP and CSC file, not Home_CSC)
-Checked for updates OTA, no newer updates than those flashed
-Tried multiple Romanian and Greek official firmwares and tried to wipe data and cache
-Turned airplane mode on and off multiple times
-Searched network provider manually in mobile networks settings
-IMEI and baseband are not corrupted, they are shown as they should
-Checked IMEI if blacklisted or carrier locked. It is clean and in open carrier, not locked
-IMEI is not fake, cross-checked with back cover glass and battery label
-Brand new SIM
-Tried another SIM of different provider
-Cleaned the sim socket with isopropyl alcohol
-Reflowed the ICs associated with radio signals
-Did not find any signs of dirt or water on the logic board
-I have NOT tried to root and flash a custom firmware because I do not think it would change anything
-There is no problem with the network coverage of the 2 sim cards I used in my location
Nothing! I believe it must be a hardware problem but I wanted to triple check with you guys.
The CSC value it has now is G935FOXX1BPH1, the Romanian one, just for the info. The Greek one I used previously during the multiple tries, was G935FEUR1BPH1.
Any idea will be appreciated, I will try it!
Thank you in advance.
If the phone is giving an emergency calls only message, it means it can see and use at least one network, which suggests it's definitely not a hardware fault, rather a network compatibility issue perhaps? What network are you currently trying to use it on?

I am trying to connect to Vodafone or Cosmote. I just tried to call 112 emergency number and it tries to dial for 10 seconds, then it says out of service area and drops. i believe the emergency calls only message is kind of "by default" when no network is available, not the actual emergency mode.
Let me note that when i search the networks it finds the providers available.
