some users report that it worked (i doubt since efs partition is not included in the firmware)
try it, nothing to lose.
I9500 sold in Qatar are coming from UAE (if not mistaken). to be sure connect to Kies and see what are the last (3 letters) under phone firmware. i think it is (XSG).

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?
Samsung is really crap with customer service

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?

Did you update to 4.4.2 too? Because thats when mine stopped working. Maybe its the update that destroyed somehting, for the AT&T versions they had quite some problems as i read online...

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"

[Q] GT-I9505 IMEI Null

Hi everyone, I have a huge problem in my hands and wanted some guidance from you guys.
Recently I bought the GT-I9505 in the US and then I moved back to Brazil, once I got here I got an update OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.
After this update my network signal was gone , then after some research I found out that my IMEI number is lost. When I dia *#06# it appears that the IMEI is Null. My question is , is there any way of fixing it or is my phone gone forever? If I send it to mobile phone service is it possible that they fix it?
Thanks in advance guys... This forum is incredibly helpful

IMEI Null / null / Baseband Unknown

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.

Hello?

EFS Messed up!! Had efs folder backed up.. still cant get proper imei back!!

Device i9500 exynos version
location :india
I recently tried to downgrade my s4 on aurora s6 rom directly to kit kat.. people said --take an efs backup so--there was a folder named "efs_backup" (containing .tar.nz files) ( containing efs of different dates each file ~1kb !!!!!) in my phone storage.. so i thought that must be it.. so i just copied it for later
now.. i flashed the kit kat stock.. (II9500XXUFNB3_I9500ODDFNB3_I9500DDUFNA4_HOME.tar.MD5) lost my signal.. and started to panic .. played around with the basebands ... and also played around with my efs folder.. (as it showed up blank at that time)
since i couldnt get it to work.. restored cwm recovery.. i still had the same problem .. no signal
after restoring to lollipop and kitkat and again to lollipop now..
...in the end i am left with ---
phone shows signal (the range bars- are present)...
baseband shows up okay DDUBMF8 ..
imei is different than before its 004999010640000 now ( fake imei? new imei?)
network shows unknown
i can connect to wifi download stuff etc.. i just cant call
i do have screenshots of previous imei.. so i do have my old imei.. but it dosent match the new fake imei
im presently restored back to stock rooted 5.0.1 lollipop samsung firmware.. ( restored from philz recovery- i had an old 4gig recovery in times like this) alas.. the problem persists
my efs folder isnt empty if thats what u think::
it does have nv_data.bin.. idk why things arent working...
help!!!pls

If it's hardware failure then you have two options:
1. Swap motherboard
or
2. Replace EMMC chip on the motherboard en reflash your IMEI on it.
