[Q] - i9507: No service on KitKat - Can receive calls, can't dial (no service)

Hi Guys,
I'm from Australia and recently bought an Optus Galaxy S4 4G. Strangely, the model number is i9507. I double-checked this online and usually weird model numbers are just carrier-spin-offs. So I went ahead to root and flash just like you would with an International i9505.
So far no problems - 4.3.x PA rom works absolutely fine.
BUT:
I've tried some Kit Kat roms recently and they all flash fine but give me 'mobile network not available'. Strangely though, I can receive calls/text and talk on the phone, but when I try to dial or send text messages, I can't do it. My reception bar is completely empty as well.
WiFi is totally fine, just no data and mobile network
I've tried messing with the 'network operators' setting and if i select my carrier (I have a Vodafone sim) I'll get network reception until I turn off the screen and then my mobile network becomes unavailable again
Not sure what the problem is; modem? APN? or roms not suitable for my phone?

I've been flashing for a while now but it's usually just basic stuff so you can probably tell I'm pretty amateur lol.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks =)

Hi Rich
As your baseband is quite out of sync with the firmware you are trying to run (MH2 is from 4.2.2 ,,, right?) I would suggest you change your baseband (modem) flashing an equivalent to the ROM firmware from here.
I've got yesterday the exactly same behaviour when finally and reluctantly I've added a data plan. I was running a successful low-baseband + high-firmware because was setted to "GSM Only" (try it ... will work flawless). When I've switched to LTE got what you've described in the face too . I've promptly updated my baseband and now all is fine :angel:
EDIT: please do nothing of the above described BEFORE taking a EFS backup with every tool you can find and preserving them in several highly fortified locations and 2 or 3 K7 Tapes too . Have an ODIN flashable copy of your MH2 baseband is advisable too.
Hope I've helped and please share your experience.
Nice regards.

Hey thanks for the reply! Helps heaps =)
While I still had those roms installed I did try flash a few modems within Odin, all failed though =S
Which one should I be flashing?
I believe I tried XXUFNA1 but the flash just doesn't go through
Does it make a difference which rom I flash the new modem from? I.e. flash when the new modem now or flash the new modem on the kitkat rom?
I'm currently using Pacman 4.3.1 since it's perfectly fine. Just can't wait to get on a KitKat rom though! haha

Hi Rich
Sorry, may be my fault, but quite didn't got your
You may proceed having the below as a rule of thumb:
Your baseband (modem) version should always match your ROM (firmware) version.
Failure to flash something is never good signal. As you have an i9507 (I own the 5) is very advisable to flash a modem built for your S4 flavour.
The above rule should apply to it too so, if the only modem available for the i9507 is the MH2 your firmware have to match or these issues reported will return.
Did you tested the "GSM Only" option to corroborate (or not) my hyphothesis? With this config, you should perceive no signal drops when waked. I know it isn't a viable operational mode but ... just for fun
Nice regards and keep sharing :laugh:

[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?

Note 4 exynos sm-n910k Problem please help

So I am from Canada and picked up the exynos version from a Korean seller on ebay.
Model number sm-n910K I actually have a huge problem. When wifi is turned on phone will reboot whilst in sleep mode after about 5 minutes if I turn off wifi it works fine. Note this happens even if I am not connected to a network the radio just has to be enabled. I am out of options I might rma it to the Korean seller but I think I might have to open a case with ebay, as these guys are being very difficult here is a video attached. I filmed it for 5 minutes but only recorded the last minute. http://youtu.be/ahLB0A2pCOM any help would be super appreciated thanks guys. I am at a loss whether this is software ie corrupt modem from improper driver installation at factory or just a faulty modem things I have tried already.
1. factory reset + cash wipe
2. Reinstall firmware using kies
3. turned off automatic scanning
4. turned off download booster.
The only thing that works is keeping wifi off. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

Have you tried flashing with Odin?

Hey, I also have the SM N910K. What network are you using it on?

I have that version as well without that issue. Can you grab a picture of your About device specs?

Hello there i got same version SM-N910K i didn't have that issue with wifi , but i got battery drain , i live in uk and the phone keep searching for LTE- A ,

N910C with the Samsung SoC
I have the same Issue, i live in the US, I was in Malaysia and manage to get a N910C with the Samsung CPU, when I set the network to LTE/WCDM/GSM (autoconnect) it keeps serching for 4g networks, and it does not switch to lower networks even if available, which causes a huge battery drain, i had to set it down WCDM/GSM for it to get data. I did not have this issue with my note 3 which i also got in Malaysia last year, btw, the note 3 came with qualcomm cpu, and that leads me to believe there is a problem with the modem on the samsung SoC.

Hi! i found a solution where you can force your phone to go to GSM Only, WCDMA only or your preferred network type. In your dialer app type: 319712358. It will ask for a password and the password is 774632. And voila you can now choose what type of network you want to use. This will help with the battery drain.

Hi everybody..im from south korea. I have sm-n910k.
do you have any idea for rooting this phone. I cant root this phone because of bootloader is locked. Anybody help me how do i unlock bootloader?

Update to the latest 5.1.1 ROM, and follow the steps on the page. You're good to go.

Hey i was wondering if anyone could help me. I have installed a custom Rom made for N910C on my N910K and then flashed the stock kernel and modem. I was on stock marshmallow rom and the custom rom is marshmallow as well. Everything seems to be working fine except for when i make phone calls i hear weird and loud crick crick sounds and it is impossible to make phone calls. So is there any way to fix this problem??

Not remembering Wifi Password.. (not rooted) on Lollipop

Hello fellow XDA friends, I'm having issue with my wifi as shown in the YouTube video below.
Code:
youtu.be/pPec3s9Zds4
As you can see, the network I connected to just in the video don't have its password remembered after turning the phone's Wifi function off or rebooting or turning off the phone completely.
I've tried the "disable google backup" and that didn't work, I've contacted samsung support and they tell me to send it to them (But my Knox is tripped LOL)
I had this problem on previous Kitkat roms as well but I was rooted then and the fix I tried that worked was changing ro.securestorage something to false.
The ROM I used came from
Code:
sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48839/N9005DXUGBOF1_N9005OLBGBOF1_THL/
This phone was imported from Malaysia with model number N9005.
I fixed it before with root but I don't want to root current rom so I can use some security payment apps without worry.
Thank you in advance, All helps appreciated

Hmmm you say the phone was imported from Malaysia, but you're using a rom from Thailand.
You should get a rom from Malaysia XME.

This happens when your modem isn't updated to 5.0, what modem/rom are you running?

Factory Reset resolved this problem for me on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-9505 with Android 5.0.1 build LRX22C.I9505XXUPOJ2.

Does anyone have GPS working on Marshmallow with N900T?

There seems to be a problem that is common to all marshmallow ROMs, on N900T and possibly also
other versions: once GPS locks, it immediately unlocks again, to lock again, unlock again, and so on.
(I find it easiest to see with the app GPS test - but flashing can be seen on other programs, too)
I've seen it described on Phronesis 6.0.1 (see, for example post 4869), Darklord N7 port (in this thread they seem to be using the app GPS location tracker, which seems to solve the problem, but use battery).
So, my questions are:
Does anyone have GPS working correctly on marshmallow with N900T?
Does this problem occur with any other Note 3 version?
What are possible causes of the problem? Kernel? Modem? How to debug it?
Maybe the problem is with modem version? I have OL1.
I'll try to collect info into this post...
Possible solutions:
This solution on darklord's N7 modifies etc/gps.conf.
This post reports good results with the app GOS location tracker.
This post from AryaMod reports good results with custom gps.conf. Though this post says that the app GPS test still has lock problems.
This post claims the problem is solved by adding "CAPABILITIES=0x11" and hashing out ON_DEMAND.
I tried the CAPABILITIES=0x11 solution on "TouchWiz Marshmallow for Note 3 (V4)", and Arya, and still got flashing GPS lock.
I tried the new "Darklord with all fixes, gps fixed", and GPS still has a problem.

I think this is not a problem specific to N900T, which is why I'm asking here to try to see what devices have the problem... On the various marshmallow ROM threads I don't have the impression that it is a problem just for N900T.
But I have one.

I understand. I have a Note 3 running a stock ROM so I can't offer any possible solutions. Good luck in your search.

Maybe the problem is with the Modem version? N900T has a fairly old modem, whereas N9005 have newer versions. Maybe those that have newer versions installed have no problem, but older ones do, or vice versa? Please report what modem version you have...

I am on n900w8 and I have the same problem. I've tried n900t roms n9005 roms ive tried changing the firmware on my note to a older and newer canadian version. I noticed this problem starting on 6.0.1 never noticed it elsewhere. Its a real bumer.

Im using n9005 on phronesis 6.0.1 n7 port v4.1. Tested on latest modem with lsskernel 3.5ux and 3.8 ux with no hit... only get gps location but cant navigate as no glonass satellite fix... anyone has same issue?

Modem should not be a problem as GPS is on kernel .
Modem or wiFi does give A_GPS .
if you read the forums you will see many models saying GPS does not work on MM .
Fixes are many and varied .
Problem appears to be the simple fact that its a port .
Me N9005 custom rom various and never had a GPS problem .
