Help with my samsung s4 i9505 lte - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
I updated my phone to the leaked ROM of lollilop 5.0.1 , well this is not a problem the thing is that after flashing it many times with stock and costum roms I corrupted the EFS folder and didn't have a backup of it.
The IMEI is good and everything else , but since I have a major problem is that the phone doesn't get the 3G it is stock on the EDGE network only , now I guess the problem is from the nv_data.bin which after rooting the phone I didn't see it inside the folder , I would like to know if this file is related the 3G and network frequencies and how to write the frequencies and fix this major problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

ANY HELP???????

[HELP] Network problem with my I9505

Hi guys !
I've just bought a samsung galaxy s4 (i9505) (a used one not new) and i flashed Imperium v7 and modem GNF1 and bootloader GNF1 (initially the phone was on stock 4.2.2 and the problem was already there).
My problem is that i don't get the network i rarely see two or three bars but it directly goes to zero (i can see the no network sign) and stays like that until a reboot (as said it drops to no network very fast).
So my question, is it software ? (should i flash the latest samsung stock firmware ?) or is it hardware ? (replace the internal network ship ?)
Or is it a common problem on S4 i9505 and no solution cannot be found ? :crying:
Could it be related to CSC ?
Anyway, i hope anybody can help me because i really like this phone and the rom that i just installed ..
Feel free to ask me about additional informations.
EDIT : I already tried :
1) the modem+bl FNDA => same result
2) force the phone to gsm only => same result (maybe better but even it solves the problem there is no point to not having 3g activated all the time)

It's going to be pretty difficult to narrow this down with what you've posted. You say the problem was "already there" when you got the phone -- how long did you use it on the stock 4.2.2 rom before flashing a new one? Did you see exactly the same behavior before you started mucking with it?
Hi ! Finally an answer So i used it for about 3 days and i really can tell that it is the same behaviour
My fear is that it may be related to hardware .. I am gonna try to flash the latest samsung stock firmware (with its csc and modem) ?
Anyway any idea ??

In general I'd say it's worth getting the phone to "current" stock, or as close to it as possible, and seeing what kind of situation you're in (i.e. if the behavior disappears or changes in any way). If you're seeing it on every configuration, it seems reasonable to suspect that it could be a hardware issue -- especially given that you got the phone used.
Perhaps someone else knows of a more definitive test you can try.
Hey ! Thanks for the idea ! already flashed the latest samsung firmware and same problem .. i stayed in touch with the guy that sold it to me so he took it back to samsung sav where his friend (who work there) told him that this is a famous bug in the i9505 4g serie and that the only solution is a
nvm restore (something like that). Of course he'll do it for free cause we agreed that if a problem come out he'll have to solve it on his own.
Anyway, i hope to get it back tomorrow or monday ! I'll let you know what happened as soon as i get it back !
solution?
Were you able to solve the problem? in case u were, how? i have the same issue sometimes i have 3g network, then it goes to gprs then edge, sometimes when im connected to wifi i cant receive calls, but i can do calls, any idea?

Galaxy S4 Gt-i9500 network problem

but : emergency calls only.
in service mode : IMEI CERTI:Fail
i downgraded to 4.2.2 but the same problem.
when i dial : *#0011# : UMTS: Home(CS+PS)
when i chose back from menu nothing happen.
i tryed all solutions in XDA and Others , tryed all modems. the same problem
i am using the firmware: I9500XXUBMH1_I9500OJVBMH2_I9500XXUBMG9_HOME.tar.md5
i cant install any other rom with Odin. just this.

* restore your efs backup
* It's very weird that you can not install other firmware. Remember that you can not do MG9 downgrade modem. Try install Kitkat with pitfile.
I used to root my Samsung S3 phone with different types of custom roms but most of them drained out my S3 bsttery fast. Due to this experience, I'm scared to root my Samsung S4 which is still in it's original rom and already updated to 4.4.2. When I looked at your screen shots, I kept wondering why your android OS was so high. I was thinking perhaps it was due to your phone being rooted? Is it because most custom roms drain battery faster than original roms? My S4's battery lasts much longer than my S3. I can put aside my phone with the wifi on and battery at 100% when I sleep. When I wake up, the battery is around 98%.
i have same problem anyone can help me plz
thanks in advance
any idea please

Hi mate,
The problem in the case above is that the phone lost its IMEI , if your case is the same and you do not have a efs backup , you will have to go to a service shop to have it fix , they need a tool like z3x or similar to fix it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/registered-network-t2810940/page3
thank u,
my IMEI is fine its repaired IMEI "cause here in turkey somehow we have to do that" but as written above i get no network after return it to 4.2.2
any idea?
thanks in advance

[Q] WiFi fix for i9500 India XXUHOA7 ? need help

Hi everybody.
I ll be very specific with my prob. I have galaxy s4 i9500 which I am using in India. The problem is as soon as I leave the room in which my modem is there,the device loses WiFi connectivity ( I ve tried a few modems and a few phones too) so the prob is with the phone I am having . I be seen a few threads with something called non-hlos bin files aka WiFi fix. But nothing for my specific modem. I be tried flashing a few modems too but that dint work either.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance.
I he installed philz touch recovery, and I am comfortable using Odin for flashing.

The wifi fix your are talking about is not meant for your problems. The wifi fix is for when you have flashed a modem on an old bootloader. That doesn't apply in your case.
So the only thing you can try is flashing different modems and/or different roms. Besides that there is not much you can do about it.

Galax Note 3- Cellular Signal Very Low After Flashing Custom ROM

Strange signal issue
as the tittle speaking , im having a very very strange issue on my note 3 , when i use my main sim card , i get a very low signal ; i have even managed to change it , without any further results , i then decided to use another sim card from another carrier , then i got full signal bars , i have tried to factory reset my phone , but without any results , the only thing i didnt do is flashing my device as i dont want to use lolipop , as it is impossible to go back into an older stock firmware , by the way i did not root my device and im not looking into it , im still not sure if its a hardware issue or software , i am really confused , hope someone could help me
thank you in advance
EDIT : i forgot to mention that when i use my main sim card into another phone i get no problem at all .
EDIT 1 : Tiitle has changed on its own , i am not using a custom rom , and im running android stock 4.4.2 kitkat rom
