Signal unstable one bar or no coverage - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
It's been a while since I've been having weak or no signal (one bar or maximum two everywhere all the time), the funny thing is showing the coverage bars even when there's no sim !
Below are attachments of informations for device. Thanks in advance.

The firmware that you are using is a leak and the baseband is of android 4.4.2. It's normal that your phone is a lil bit crazy. Install this APP and add some screenshots for avoid problems and I will tell ya what firmware you have to flash via ODIN.

A device always shows coverage bars without a SIM. It's the Emergency Network. 112, 999, 911 or whatever your local equivalent is, you don't need a SIM to call the Emergency number.

Switch to GSM only mode. Sometimes in areas where coverage is weak LTE/Automatic mode doesn't work well.

Your IMEI is your phone's equivalent of a social security number, NEVER share it with the public.

You will have to flash one android Lollipop Firmware coz your bootloader is updated. Your CSC (country code) is BTU (UK) but doesn't have android 5.0 still. I recommend you flash this firmware for example via ODIN. Good luck and tell me how it worked for ya. Remember dial *#1234# when the flashing process finish and have to appear:
AP: N9005XXUGBOB6
CP: N9005XXUGBOB6
CSC: N9005XEOGBOA4
Reflash the firmware if not.

Samsung note 3 n9005 ( european model ) IMEI and software problem

Hello,
I'm from Egypt I bought a note 3 n9005 european sim model
-from settings my phone reads different IMEI than the one written on the phone under the battery.
-The network goes down to emergency call only but never asked me for unlock PIN
-someone installed for me android 4.4.2 that deleted all options like air gestures and all other Samsung stuffs
- In settings menu the phone model n9000 ( -_- )
- I wanted to return the phone to stock settings, firmware and unlock it.
- I think knox already tripped ( how to check it ? )
- I downloaded a file with extensionBTU- N9005XXUDMJ7 (mar.tdr5) 1.36GB + Odin 3.07 + usb driver.
Do I need anything else because it's my first time flash an android phone.
Thanks in advance
Switch on the phone by pressing power+home+volume down. This will take you to download mode. Knox status will be displayed there.
If you are on 4.4.2, you can't downgrade to MJ7.
I have no idea how you managed to get a new with a new ROM.
But you can always try flashing the ROM you downloaded. You don't need anything else. Just read a couple of guides on Odin flashing.

Just don't post your IMEI number here
If your model is showing N9000 it's from a CM build being installed, especially if you lost Samsung features.. as for the IMEI issue we'll investigate that soon as we know what we are actually dealing with :good:

Yup just as I suspected... OK
Follow this
Open ODIN, put your phone into download mode connect your phone, load the .md5 file into the PDA option on ODIN and press start. It will reflash your stock Samsung back to normal.

Once you flash back to normal Stock Samsung it'll be better to grasp the IMEI errors, when dialling *#06# into the keypad it adds an extra number with a / mine is /01 iirc. for now, how about we get you back to Stock then sort the rest as we are unsure what is what. :good:

SM-N9005ZKEXSI is your product code. It signifies that your phone is from the gulf.
Just flash the firmware as directed by radicalisto. You'll be fine.

To my knowledge once the region lock is activated that's it, you can't undo it. < Ignore that, take a look at this
The region lock isn't to one country though, it's to continents. There may be some ways around it if you are rooted (which you are) but I'm not the best person to speak to regarding that. Odin being tripped means nothing apart from if your phone stops working tomorrow, Samsung won't be interested.
In terms of the Samsung Stock Software that you are installing, it doesn't really matter what software you install providing it isn't the Exynos version. Because you have the 4.4 boot loader though you MUST flash the leaked polish build. If you install the version that was mentioned above by one of the other posters, later on we can focus on getting you the correct software for your device region if we need to.
I can't tell you much about region lock. Mine came without it.
n9005xxudmj7 is a ROM version. Not a product number.
Since your knox is already tripped, you can easily root your device using Chainfire's autoroot and install the regionlock-away.
But before we get there, we need to get you up and running on atleast some version of TouchWiz.
Did you try flashing that file yet?

SM-N900 Modem/ CSC Country question

I had purchased an unlocked sm-n900 because I figured it might be what would work best with my carrier ( Straight Talk) here in the US. Ive had it for a little less than a month now and have had constant connection issues. Today I saw a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475714 In here it is mentioned that
Choosing right modem can make a huge difference as it affects reception, data speed, stability, battery life etc.
Click to expand...

So I figured I should investigate flashing a new modem and maybe thatll help my situation. The thing is while looking at my phones info I found out the CSC country is Argentina. Does this matter at all? Is this leading to the problems with my phone or is this from the ROM i flashed (CriskeloRom Note III V05) Im just fed up with the constant connection problems and the constant having my phone go into emergency only mode. Where do I go from here? Do I need to flash a different modem, or an entirely different rom? I dont even know if I can flash any of those modems /: Heres some more info I have Latest firmware info
PDA: N900UBUCMK1
CSC: N900UUBCMK1

[Q]SHV-E330L( ks01ltelgt) cannot toggle 4G/3G/2G automatically?

I have a device : Galaxy S4 LTE-A LG (SHV-E330L, ks01ltelgt).
The Problem is:
This device does support the 4G of my carrier, but it cannot toggle to 4G automatically in my carrier's network.
I can only select 4G (LTE B3) manually in engineering menu (dial 319712358, password 0821), as you can see in image1.
And in this manually selected mode, I'm not able to call or to receive calls.
image1:
Selecting either "Automatic" or " LTE ALL" does not make any difference.
"Automatic" - always 3G (image2)
"LTE ALL" - no signal (image3)
image2:
image3:
My question is:
is there any method or ROM or modification which can make this device toggle 4G/3G/2G network automatically?
Thanks very much~!!

1. Dial *#1234# and tell me what appears there or attach one screenshot.
2. Verify that you have the latest firmware on your device. Download, unzip and flash this file via ODIN if not: HERE.
3. Go to Settings/Connections/More Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and add your APN carrier there.

1. it's:

CSC:E330LLGTCNG9
2. I've checked that my CP firmware is the latest version while the other two are not. It takes time to update because I have lots of apps installed and it needs time to backup and restore.....
And I think the problem is on CP not the rest two..... if there is no other way, I will try to update the firmware.
3. I think the APN has no problem because if I choose LTE B3, the phone can access 4G network without any problem.

You won't need to downgrade/upgrade your modem manually. It'll happen automatically when you upgrade the firmware.
Since Spain (Vodafone) hasn't released the 5.0.1 update for the GT-I9506 yet, you should flash another one.
Theoretically, any region's firmware should work.
Go to Sammobile.com/firmwares and type GT-I9506.
Flash any firmware that isn't associated with a carrier.
From what I can see, Nordic Countries, Slovakia and Greece have unbranded I9506 firmwares.
Keep in mind, if your phone is ever sent for warranty, they might not accept it because the CSC will change.
So this is entirely up to you.

All the firmwares are identical, only difference is the origin country and obviously the CSC.
Since the firmwares are identical, they're all stable and SamMobile doesn't upload unstable ROMs, all the ROMs on are fully developed and are completely stable.

CSC stands for Customer Sales Code
CSC varies depending on who sold the phone to you, was it through a carrier or was it from a retail store?
For example, the CSC for Italy is ITV and XEF for France.
The CSC for Spain is PHE, but that's if you bought your phone from a retail store.
However, since your phone is from a carrier (your first post shows ATL as your CSC)
ATL is also the CSC for Spain but ATL is for Vodafone.
Suppose your phone gets damaged and needs to be sent in for warranty to get repaired/replaced.
The guy at the service center will check the phone and if the CSC is different from ATL, he will refuse to take your phone as it has technically been tampered with, in the sense that the original ROM has been removed and you have flashed the ROM of another country on your phone. There is nothing wrong with having the ROM for another country, but the service center people don't accept your phone unless it has the original CSC, which in your case is ATL.
BUT, if your phone ever does go for repair etc, do change the CSC before sending it.
You can use this guide to change your CSC.
It's fairly easy and you should be done quickly.
Enjoy flashing a new ROM on your phone and enjoy the 5.0.1 experience on that amazing Snapdragon-800 processor.

Of course there is.
Google change your CSC and a big XDA thread should come up in the Galaxy Grand section. That has a full tutorial in it, however before you do that.
Is the ATL CSC still installed on your phone even after flashing the firmware of a different country?
Check by dialing *#1234# in the dialer and post the stuff written in the CSC field here.

Dear Murtaza,
I hope you don't mind I am sending you a private message regarding my brother's phone.
He purchased it new. The Phone was operator blocked.
The store did something to the phone to allow him using the local telecom sim card.
Since my brother was not able to upgrade to new os versions. He gets the notifications but a soon as he executes the upgrade process on the air, an error shows up saying that the phone has been modified.
I have attached all the phone information collected using PHONE INFO.
Kindly, let me know whether I Can use the same Rom NEE to upgrade his phone and if safe doing it.
Is there anything else to do to correct the manual upgrade process?
Many thanks my friend

His phone is an I9505, so the process is exactly the same.
Just replace the I9506 firmware with the I9505 firmware the tutorial and you're all set. However, since device status is modified, after flashing the firmware through Odin, you should do a Factory Reset.
You can use any regions ROM as long as it's unbranded. The manual update process is exactly the same as it is on your phone.
Once you've downloaded the 5.0.1 firmware, flash it and let me know how its worked out for you.

[Q] Weak Signal, Unstable reception, dropped calles

Hi All, nice to meet you all here. I came from Malaysia and i facing some problem with my N9005 - Samsung Note 3 LTE and hopefully can get some helps from here. It was actually a second hand phone but with perfect exterior condition, with Samsung warranty seal to prove that never been repair before or a recon phone. Below are the problem that i realize within this few days
1. Phone have signal, but sometime unable to call in or call out, especially on low battery status (50%-30%)
2. During a phone call, receiving party always unable to hear me, sometime they will hear some strange sound and dropped call, but from my side I can hear them very clearly
3. Always changing network mode. For example 4G to HSPA+ to HSPA to EDGE to No Service
4. When phone was inside a indoor room, very poor signal & unstable, internet speed also very slow or even unable to connect. But when I walk out from the room its become better
Remark:
1. Using Lollipop 5.0
2. Have changed a brand new Sim Card
3. Have tried to move my sim card to other phone, work perfectly
4. Have tried to use other sim card, but same problem remain

I don't need IMEI atm. Well the problem here is that the person who owned the device before you, flashed a Philippines (Globe) firmware on your device. You have weak signal, weird sound, etc for that reason.
Your phone is original unlocked of Malaysia (XME) but still without Lollipop firmware. You can check it: HERE.
* SOLUTION: All zones close yours (Philippines, Thailand, etc) still without Lollipop update. You will void your warranty if you downgrade your device to android 4.4.2. Here we go:
1. I recommend you flash the Slovakia (TMS) firmware via ODIN then coz it has the Lollipop update (like in pic attached). This won't void your warranty either.
2. Dial *#1234# when the process of flash finish and have to appear this. Reflash the same firmware if not:
AP: N9005XXUGBOD6
CP: ?
CSC: N9005TMSGBOE1
3. Wait latest firmware updates of Malaysia (XME) and flash them via ODIN for receive future OTA updates too.
Hi Joku1981, thanks so much for your reply. Since the phone was actually out of warranty period, so i tried to flash back with Malaysia (XME) version of 4.4.2 kitkat (PDA: N9005XXUGNI4, CSC: N9005OLBGNL1).
But unfortunately, the result still the same. Am i missed any important step?

leutzu, i has been tried to flash a few times with new firmware but it's still remain the same problem. I have also sent it to Samsung dealer for checking and they said probably on hardware problem. So end up to save up my time and cost, i decided to bought a new Note4 SM-N910C.
I end up sending it to Samsung, and they replaced motherboard, battery, and updated the soft.
Now it's working fine
