Hello there..
Long story short, I bought a Note 3 SM-9005 LTE version from eBay.
The seller said the following:
Before upgrading to Android L 5.0 (Leak) the phone was fine (fully working, SIM working, etc)
After upgrading to Android L 5.0 (Leak) the phone was still fine but.. the SIM card stopped working. Actually, it stopped completely recognizing SIM cards. Also the IMEI turned into null/null and baseband into unknown (something that he didn't tell me.. and of course I found out alone)
Facts: *#1234# = Everything except the modem. It only shows the rest 2 but not the modem.
Also when I saw that the IMEI is null/null I remembered that the IMEI is available behind the battery (there's a label) but guess what.. it was removed..
Conclusions:
A) The phone was stolen by someone (Only the phone came no S-pen, Box, Charger, etc)
B) He indeed messed up with his phone and something got destroyed/corrupted. I don't know.
So I am asking you what can I do right now.. I really need to find a fix otherwise I'm opening a dispute case so I can take my money back.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I've done this already.. just forgot to write it as tears were falling while I was posting.. (kidding)
Just forgot to write it. But yeah, still doesn't work. Currently It's at 4.4.2 KK.
I talked with Samsung as well just now. Tomorrow a representative will connect to my NOTE3 to see what's going on.
Until then, could you guys suggest me what to do? I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Just got my phone back from the repair shop. This guy told me that it has an antenna so this is not the problem.
Now I am thinking.. could it be locked from the company that sold this phone? (O2 - Germany I think) should I install their firmware?

some users report that it worked (i doubt since efs partition is not included in the firmware)
try it, nothing to lose.

So i was running everything fine until i was prompted to update on my phone via OTS.
It updated me to 4.4.2 and now i have no service, unknown baseband, and when i go to check the imei it tells me null/null.
Its not an issue with the sim because ive already tried the sim on a different phone and it works.

No i didn't. At the time being i was totally new to the scene.
After doing ALOT of hmwk on the issue, i figured it might be something to do with the efs.
So no i didn't back it up.
It's pretty annoying since all i did was let the phone update as it asked me to, and now i have these problems with it...
if you have no luck and are in the USA bring it to the nearest Best Buy Store and the Samsung Experience Consultant will fix it for you with our "Smart Tool"

I did.
Tried 4.2.2 MDJ and MG1 and still the same problem except now wifi doesnt turn on
4.3 MK6 fails on Odin
4.4.2 (which im on right now)
Update:
i went to the samsung store and they wanted to flash the firmware, but the tech guy at the store couldn't get kies to recognize the phone.
i bought the phone second hand off someone through craigslist and she claimed it was unlocked.
the model of the phone was SGH-I337M.
the samsung technician told me that if it were to be factory unlocked, it would be an international model, not a canadian.
being that it is canadian, he told me that my S4 was probably unlocked by being tampered with.
i asked the lady whom i bought the phone from (luckily she still responded), if she has ever tampered with the phone and she told me no.
she said she bought it from the store as unlocked.
so he printed me an official paper notice verifying that the phone has indeed been tampered with, to bring with me to where the phone was originally sold.
i have yet to go to the store and ask the people there if they can do anything to fix it, and if they DO happen to tell me to check with samsung, thats what the paper is for.
mind you the store isnt any official carrier store or anything. its a store in a chinese mall called "SK Mobile".

Check to see if you still have your imei or not... That's probably the reason, you lost your efs/imei...
If that's the case then if your made a efs backup like you should have,restore it. If not, try flashing stock.

Did you test your sim card and make sure it is ok? Try to out this sim card into another phone and make sure it works? Put another gud sim card into your Note 3 and check if the problem still persist?
Dial *#0011# and check for the RX, TX value? Can you post this screenshot here?

Here the screenshoot
Anybody please
No Network neither
Hi everyone,
i got almost the same problem. My SM-N9005 was on the Standard TouchWiz Rom (4.3, rooted) when i updated to 4.4.2 via Kies and rooted it again.
Now my Phone shows me signal bars but tells me "Emergency calls only". I still have my IMIE.
I reflashed the stock ROM but that did not fix my problem sadly.
Hope you can help me!
UPDATE:
I reflashed the stock recovery once again and factory reset/wiped the data and now it somehow works again. Maybe that helps
UPDATE 2:
It seems like that was just working for a short moment, now after flashing the X-Note ROM (and Kernel) the "not registered in Network" message comes again though i got like 4 bars. The bars just are random somehow and jump up and down every few seconds.
Another Update:
While charging the phone (via PC or via the original Charger) i get a Message that it stopped charging because the battery temperature is too low. I Hope nothing went physically wrong?
your note 3 seems to be unlocked by SPT box or BST dongle
select wcdma/gsm or 3g/2g in mobile network and your network will connect
hope this helps:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the reply, but my I bought my note 3 unlocked and new from my carrier and havent changed anything regarding the IMIE.
I was thinking about the modem beeing broke down while i updated to kitkat, and therefore flashing a new one. Any ideas on that?

If everything else fails try to write in Odin (or better yet in Mobile Odin Pro) just the modem - and aim for an older version, something like MI6 (present in MI7 firmware) or MJ1. With Mobile Odin Pro you MUST be on stock recovery and it will work perfectly first time, with normal Odin there are some reports that you might need to write it twice or something like that - search around.

Tried that, had the same problems with the MI6, and with the MJ1 it got stock when i tried to unlock it...I was on the Xnote ROM though, Ill once again will try flashing the stock rom...
did you try another sim card ?
Sadly, the sim card works in my Note 2 without any problems... I think its sth that got physically destroyed somehow. When i plug it into the charger is says "stopped charging battery too cold"

Hello guys,
I have a rooted S4 with Knox Flag and a custom rom which really worked well. But now i do not understand why i am getting a pop up which says that the phone can not recognize my sim card and wants to restart. First it just came some times. Now it totally does not find my sim card. I also bought a new card reader and built it in but i have the same problem.
I also tried to bring everything to Stock but this either doesn't worked.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks,

Reflash STOCK ROM and tell me if works ok. Looks like a hardware problem anyway.

Things you can do.
-Flash stock again.
OR
Update your modem.
maybe its hardware related. go to phone repair shops if they can help you.

Hi mate ,
The problem may be in the EFS partition , do you have an EFS back up? if not you may have to take it to a local service shop , you need a Z3X box or similar to fix it.
Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum so please excuse me if this is the wrong place to post this. I'll start from the beginning. I bought a Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337m) from somebody in my city. They said the phone originally worked with Rogers/Fido, but that they switched the logic board on it so now it works with Bell/Virgin. The thing is though, when I put my Virgin Mobile sim card in the phone, it won't let me send texts or make calls. I checked the IMEI and it's not blacklisted or anything.
It says No Service and has the little circle with a diagonal line showing up in the notification bar and when I try to send a text, it says No Network Connection (No signal found for mobile networks). I find it weird because I still get a notification saying that I have an unheard voicemail.
I've tried resetting the phone multiple times. I've also tried flashing both the Bell and Virgin Mobile Lollipop firmwares and that didn't work either. To be honest, I'm not sure how to tell which one I would need to install. I noticed when trying to flash the Bell firmware, that the phone kinda skips to a black screen quickly every time I close an app. I'm assuming that would mean it needs the Virgin Mobile firmware.
That still doesn't fix the mobile network issue though. If anyone could help me out, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!! Here is a bit of info, I'm hoping it helps. If you need anything else, please let me know.
Model number: SGH-I337M
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: I337MVLUGOC4
Build Number: LRX22C.I337MVLUGOC4
Also, in the "Status" menu, I noticed it says:
Service State
Voice: Out of Service / Data: Out of Service
Not sure if that has anything to do with it or if that's normal. Again, if you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know. I'm super desperate as I can't afford to lose the money I paid for this. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Coincidentally my girlfriend has a Galaxy S4 of the same model and with Bell/Virgin. I opened up the ABOUT DEVICE menu in both phones and the only other difference I noticed is on hers it says:
SE for Android Status:
"sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0013"
And mine says "sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0009"
Does that have anything to do with it maybe?

Okay, will do. I will post the screenshots in about 20 mins. I rooted the phone, installed CWM and am in the middle of flashing the latest firmware again. I forgot to enable USB debugging before flashing originally and I wanted to install CWM to wipe the cache. No idea if that would make a difference but I've been up all night trying anything lol. Thank you for the reply though, will post the screenshots in about 20 mins.

All seems correct but I think your device works for Bell Mobile (BMC) only but NOT for Virgin Mobile (VMC). Try to use one BELL simcard for verify it.

In all my experience, Bell/Virgin are always interchangeable. Same with Telus/Koodo and Rogers/Fido. I tried putting a Bell sim card in though just now and it still has the problem. It doesnt load any of the signal bars or anything. Oddly enough, when there is no sim card in the phone, the bars show up?

Don't doubt it and return it if you can still.

Since it was from Bell, would flashing the Virgin Mobile firmware somehow mess it up? What are the exact steps I would need to take to try to reset it back to stock settings? I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. Or if the APN settings have anything to do with it? I set them to default already and tried adding the Virgin Mobile Canada apn settings as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att is the proper place to ask your questions regarding your S4, rather than where you originally posted this, the International S4 forum. Since more people with your device will be available at the given link, you may want to ask your questions over there. Or simply be patient, as this thread will be moved over there in due time.
