[Q] Note 3 N9005 Not registered on the network! This is weird! Please help :)

Dear All,
Trust this finds you well
I have this very unusual problem. I have a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 and I live in Denmark. I havent have any problem with the network what so ever. 4 Days ago, I suddenly realized that I cant make any calls and I get "Not registered on the network". Although I can not make/receive calls, the data seems to be working (3g). I tried other sim cards on the phone and they work perfectly. My sim card also works with any other phone!! I did everything I could find on forums (from flashing new roms to....). I went to Telia store ( Telia is the company I get the network), they tried to reset my number and my sim card, tried new sim cards... but it just doesnt work!! They told me that they havent seen anything like this before. Looks like my phone is blocked on Telia Network!! No Telia sim cards works on my phone but others do!
I have tried new modems, firmwares and etc. The phone is unlocked. Right now I have flashed X-note but its still the same. No matter what Rom (custom or stock) I use, it just doesnt work. Can anyone please help me?? Much appreciated!
Hello, i got exactly the same problem here, i was thinking that the problem was about region lock but in fact it's not.
I tried everything like you, flashing modem, stock rom, custom rom... everything i found on the web and nothing worked for me.... I bought the SM-n9005 1 month ago in france, and now i live in new caledonia, i was able to make call for about 2 weeks without any problem and suddenly, impossible to connect the network. Samsung gived me the region unlock code but didn't make my network work again.
I'm so disapointed. My imei and baseband are correct.
bootlader : N9005XXUGNG1
baseband : N9005XXUGNG1
PDA : N9005DXUGNH1
CRC : N9005ITVGNG1 (audax rom)
Please someone help us !
Hello @yashironc
The interesting thing is that my phone is also from France! I have been using the phone for 6 months and no problem at all! The problem suddenly appeared few days ago. I'm actually considering to change my network provider as it appears to be working on any other one! Hope it will not be the same after some time...
please someone help us
Tried This
one thing can tried is changing the imei number, to a phone thats not connected to a telias network that way it will registered on the network another new phone it looks like your phone got blocked by your carrier
Try this.. It worked for me for my note 2...
Hi I faced the same kind of issue with my note 2 and I found some solution.
1. Download the previous version of firmware from sammobile. ( Eg: If the current version is 4.4.2 you have to download 4.3).
2. Flash the firmware using Odin.
3. After flashing the firmware now update the firmware to current one using Samsung kies.
4. After the updation when the phone reboots your issue may get resolved.
It worked for me. Just try doing that......

Thanks Rafi. I tried this but it didnt work out because when I connect to Kies, it says that I'm using the latest firmware which is strange! Looks like in Denmark, the updates are a bit late. I will try to change my IMEI number, hope it works...

Yes, may be your phone has been blacked list by Telia network. Ask your Telia network to be sure?
But curiously, how can you change the IMEI?
same problem here after afligt
Hi, i don't know if changing Imei will fix the problem because my carrier don't blacklist phone and I have the same problem here :/ I got now a phone who can't make call. Damn Samsung 700 € for that ?

Thanks vndnguyen for your reply. I asked them several times but seems like they havent blocked my phone!! They were in shock like me I finally decided to change my network provider as it was the cheapest and easiest solution. I think if the IMEI number is blocked, I should not be able to receive signal from other providers as well, cause that doesnt make sense in terms of security. Hopefully someone could find the answer to this unusual problem and save some lives Cheers!

Nope, if your imei was blocked, you still can receive signal from your home network, but you can not make a calls.

There is a difference between the two IMEI blacklists.
One is Provider-based. Meaning your provider can block your IMEI on their network alone. Other providers work without issue. They used to do this here for a long time if you used a different device than the phone you purchased from them. It still happens in some countries if the device is from another country or sometimes when it runs a customROM.
Providers are also very good at denying this.
The other is the international blacklist. This one renders a phone completely useless worldwide, and is usually reserved for stolen devices.

Updating bad ESN Verizon Note 3

I bought a used Verizon Note 3 and was unaware it had a bad ESN, the phone came running 4.4.4 and I was just reading that Verizon has officially released lollipop. I ran the OTA but for two weeks now I'm getting service temporarily unavailable and I've been told that, that's because of the ESN. Is there any way to manually update this phone to the released lollipop version? Since the phone can't be used I'm just using it as a mini tablet for games and movies but would still like it on the the official lollipop release if I can, the phone is also not rooted.
Thank you in advance.

questions about my Galaxy S8 U.S unlocked version

Hello guys,
I bought my Galaxy S8 last year from BestBuy New York, and I need your help to figure out my issues:
- Is there a different between SM-G950U and SM-G950U1? My phone is SM-G950U1.
- I currently live in UK and till now I haven't received the last software update -Android Pie- that I'm supposed to get in late April! and have't received any security patches updates either!!
- Bixby voice is not working at all, it stopped working 4 months ago and I don't know why! I talked to Samsung US and Samsung UK and they have no clue, we tried many different way to fix it but we had no luck. I factory reset my device twice without any success either.
So please you're my last hope here to solve my issues. I'm ready to answer any questions that you might have in mind regarding my phone.
Thanks,
Yusuf.

There's almost no chance you're going to find out why you're not getting updates. If your phone isn't updating automatically you can either download the entire latest firmware and flash it with Odin or go to firmware.science and download the individual OTA files then flash them in recovery manually one by one.

More than likely you don't have that original carrier sim in it. My Verizon phone won't get updated on my daughter's TracFone sim. But when i pop in the Verizon sim it updates

I know that if I come back to U.S and insert any SIM from any major mobile company it'll be updated immediately, however, when I was in Saudi Arabia - my home country - lat year, it updated to Oreo back then, so why I got the update while I'm in Saudi and not in UK?

Maybe it hasn't been pushed to your device yet, there are plenty of people out there that haven't received the update yet.
If you don't have the patience to wait, then I suggest using Odin to update it manually.

You do understand that it can take several weeks to receive an update once released? Every company does a rolling update so it only hits so many devices at a time just in case there are reports of severe issues, they can pull it. You don't know which server your device for an update is sitting on with AT&T.
Patience is the key where updates are concerned, and it's better to sit back and see what the issues are over having to get the latest and greatest buggy software on your device instantly.

It wiped everything that AT&T had placed on the phone, the apps that are on my phone now are standard google apps
its as if the phone came from Samsung, no affiliation with any cellphone company.

I think what he is asking if it cleared all your apps that you already had installed and all your data.... Not the kind of apps you now you have.
XSP update isn't available yet for 10, it was then it disappeared which tells me it was pulled by Samsung most likely due to some issues.

I live in Canada and I've an unlocked Samsung galaxy S10+ and I've yet to receive the latest updates. My last update was December 1st and it was G975FXXSEFUL1. I don't even have the security patch for January or February NO updates yet for 2022.. I am a life long Samsung buyer and after this stall and potentially leaving me open to infiltration I'm not amused and will be trying a Apple for the 1st time, BYE BYE SAMSUNG THE BLUES
