Hi there,
after updating to official Froyo JPO/JPP/JP3 my radio doesn't work no more:
It shows signal after entering the SIM code
I can't make a call as it doesn't seem to connect to the network, although it shows network coverage.
I can't receive calls as well (tested with a landline).
The IMEI is still there and correct.
Product Code is I9000HKDDBT
Restoring old backups via Nandroid doesn't help
I wonder, what could be the reason. Reflashing different ROMs doesn't help (tried with JF3, JPO official, DocRom v8, ...). Supposing it could have something to do with /efs, I already restored my /efs folder to an earlier state, but it didn't work either. Could anyone tell me the correct permissions, owners and groups of the files within /efs? Or is it something totally different?
Thanks for your help!
Noone here that knows something about that?
I have the same problem i think. I can download apps from the market but can't recieve or make texts or calls.
can anyone help?
Same issue here.
Phone shows signal but if you show the status screen it only shows emergency call only.
Signal showing, according to the Debug it is showing 7 antenas nearby, also the network lock code is off for every lock, so i dont know...
is a Tmobile originally branded but flashed with darkys rom. PReviously was unlocked using the one click method,
does you phone display a baseband?
I had a jp3 in today that had no baseband
just flashed it using odin with jpy and it worked fine.
is a Tmobile originally branded but flashed with darkys rom. PReviously was unlocked using the one click method,
If it worked before that install then go back to the original works then you know where the problem is .
jje
Me too, Flash the JPY or other firmware from uk orange firmware, has band and signal covered, but only emergency calls only at some places, specially at home.
hope someone can solve this problem
Hi guys been searching all day when I can grab some free WiFi, basically I rooted my s4 gti9505 with auto root and then installed custom recovery, and flashed PAC rom. I'm unable to make calls or receive mobile data but can use WiFi. My settings say baseband unknown .. I'll attach a picture of my settings here in this thread. I have attempted to flash a modem/radio in Odin but this didn't seem to make any difference, the problem is I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do (didn't make a back up of my phone foolishly before flashing PAC rom)
I'd appreciate any help with this guys! My network is vodaphone UK if that makes any difference to any advice given...
Thanks in advance!

will do this too, have just finished flashing MGA modem twice using your steps, will flash rom again..i wonder if i should wipe/factory wipe as i would when installing new rom...ill try it!
no luck -still no network. im running out of ideas
network - unknown
mobile network type - unknown
imei unknown
imei sv - unknown
going out now for a while but thought id ask - do you think that installing official stock rom (perhaps from your s4 unrooting guide) would help flashed via odin? from searching i can see that some folk suggest that stock will reinstall everything i need...im hoping so, i really wouldnt mind going back to stock, anythings better than this

did you put modem in "phone" in odin?
hmmm weird! i guess your imei is not corrupted, sometimes while flashing rom in cwm, efs partition is not detected, so flashing modem twice should work
you can try with an other modem, use new one (but im sure to flash it twice)
another option is trying to flash your stock firmware

yes put it in "phone" mode, thats the second or third one i have flashed now so im not sure it wont help but for sure ill try again!
are you able to determine that its not corrupted? would it state as such if it were? im going to flash a stock firmware as a last resort. lost after that haha
edit - installed cwm using sgs4 flasher and re-installed my custom rom and gapps, booted no probs and network now working - sorted!! thanks for your help i dont think i would have reflashed the rom without your advice to do so
So I'm practically in the same boat. I'm currently on P.A.C. man nightly 09/18 (Vodafone Germany branded device). I never had similar problems, but now I can't call (or be called) and I'm not able to use mobile data.
I nearly tried everything:
1) I checked the IMEI (saved it before switching over to custom roms), but an IMEI number is still there.
2) Went back to stock to see if it's a problem of P.A.C. man ROMS or not. On stock it didn't work either.
3) Went back to P.A.C. man ROM and flashed modem XXUBMF8 via Odin 3.04 (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025)
4) Flashed the modem again after I flashed the ROM because it didn't work either.
So I'm completely lost now, I really don't know what to do next. I had mobile data for a couple of seconds every now and then, but nothing stable. And since the problem came up (yesterday evening) I can not make any calls at all.
Can someone help me?
Edit: The very strange thing is that I have full reception balks in the notification area (only in grey). But still, I guess this means that the device is somehow able to detect a signal but can not connect to it?
Edit2: I apparently have no Device-ID. May that be a problem?
So I took some screenshots to show you guys my problem a bit better. For some reason my mobile data now works (currently HSPA, but it's extremely slow). But I still can't make any calls (or get called too). =/
Edit: So to sum this up: the strangest thing about this problem is, that even when I go back to full stock I can't make calls. =/ What could be the problem? An IMEI number is present in the settings (althouh the 'IMEI SV' under 'About phone' --> 'Status' was one digit below the current one that I can see under those stats). The whole problem makes me believe that my provider can't sort my phone number to my device (I'm on Vodafone; but if that's really the case: why the hell does mobile data works sometimes?!). The other possibility: something with the modem/radio is broken. Could this be the problem? The thing is that I also tried to flash a custom modem, but the problem is still there...
I'm really concerned that my phone just became an expensive paperweight
Slightly different than my problem in that I didn't even have any bars for reception..my problem was fixed by changing the custom recovery software (originally I used philz to flash PAC), But I flashed cwm and then used this to again flash PAC, and all was good..don't ask my why but it helped me so you might want to try this...

Thank you for your answer!
You also flashed a different modem didn't you? Did this help or was it only the custom recovery? I'm confused because I used CWM before and never had problems. But then this mess all came up...
Yes I flashed several modems, that didn't help..only using a different custom recovery to flash my custom Rom again helped..hope you get sorted!

So I tried to flash PAC with TWRP 2.6.0 (it worked before), but the problem is still there.
I'm really confused. I really don't know what I can do or try to fix this mess... Is there some USSD code or something to find out if my device is missing some ID codes or if the modem is messed up or something?
Edit:
Update: For some reason I now can receive calls/SMS but only when I'm on GPRS speed. Outgoing and ingoing calls are no problem then. When my device is on HSPA or HSPA+ speed however, the old problem of not being able to call or be called is back. On one hand it's good that I'm somehow able to make calls again on the other hand it gets stranger and stranger. I know that it's a bug on PAC man ROMs that you can't change the mobile data speed options (LTE/HSPA/GPRS etc.), but I think that this could be the problem (or at least a part of it)...

Actually I can change the data in my phone between 3G and 2G (don't have LTE support here in my country)
Have you checked your APN? Think that might be a problem.
Also please post the steps you take before flashing PAC (ROM, kernel, recovery, etc)

Within Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode? On PAC? It always crashes when I try to change something there. In the PAC bug post this seems to be a known bug, my mode is also set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. But whenever I enter the settings to change this, only 'LTE' is chosen as option. I don't have LTE on my plan and I read somewhere else that Vodafone has major problems with it's LTE network here in Germany and that it may be better for customers without it to turn it off.
About APN: there is definitely something strange. I can enter the settings and I see three different APNs that were not created by me (they must be the standard carrier ones): they are called Vodafone DE (for Germany), 1und1 (pretty strange because the settings are the very same on this one, only the name is different) and Vodafone DE-MMS.
The strange thing now is that I can't change any value of the Vodafone DE APN... When I go into its settings, everything ia greyed out. This was the same on the stock ROM...
Now when I create a new APN with the correct provider settings (found via Google on the VF homepage), the phone still won't work. When I put the device aside for a few minutes, the Vodafone Deutschland DE APN is the selected APN again although I never went back to it...
Is there some option to take a deeper look into the modem stats to see what's the problem?
Install stock ROM

I tried that already, but it didn't help. Same problem...
I factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik cache and then flashed my Vodafone branded stock ROM via Odin that I had on my device when I got it. Didn't help for some reason... But: should I also try to go back to stock ROM via KIES? I haven't tried this method until now...
Edit: About my flashing method: I went from the stock ROM to rooted (via CF Auto root with Odin). For PAC I then flashed TWRP 2.6.0 and then in recovery factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik and then installed PAC. After that I installed GApps. I used this method before and it worked without any problems...
Edit2: I found this thread, it appears to be the same/a similar problem with the S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805709&page=6
Now is there something similar for the S4? I think I tried calling ##72786# on stock ROM and it didn't work...

Delete the unused APNs.
Do you have mobile data?
Also I asume that you're running the latest vertigo's build, because with me GSM/WCDMA/LTE is always selected.

Sometimes I have mobile data, but only for very limited time; for the majority of time, I don't have mobile data and can not make calls.
I also tried to delete the unused APNs, but still no change =/
I tried to use a different Micro SIM in this device, but the same problem appears. No data, no phone although I have grey reception balks.
any update on this one?!
Ok so here's my problem.
I have an I9505 previously with a GE custom ROM and modem version XXUEML2, everything was working fine so far, the only "strange" thing was whenever I reboot the device the Cell Network will take about 3 minutes to reconnect, and I constantly lost the 4g connection which I attributed to problems within my carrier.
So a couple days ago I re-installed my custom ROM (was having problems with the Kernel) and after it boot back I wait to my Cell Network to connect, which never happen. So I went ahead, format everything, re-install the custom ROM and no luck.
I tried everything, updating the Baseband to XXUEML6. Install the Stock ROM (which was locked, but the store where I get it unlocked it by warranty), install another Stock ROM (right now I have the I9505XXUFNC4_I9505PHNFNC1_PHN ROM) and I still cannot get signal).
Did my modem just died, or the "warranty" guys unlock my device in a wrong method. I don't think is a problem with my IMEI 'cause I still have the same as the dive box says.
Hope someone can guide me before I take it back. Thanks.

Well, when I bought the device, it was intended to be unlocked, but for a strange reason my device (only mine 'cause we bought 2 the same day) came carrier locked (MEO from Portugal) So I sent it back to warranty. After a week I get my device back "unlocked" (Same ROM, IMEI) but I notice that it was rooted, which only makes me think that they take it to a third party which unlocked the cellphone with a method that required root. I didn't care, I had signal and 3G,

There use to be possible using this guide, with the old firmwares as far as i know is not possible anymore unless you still have that firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
The other way is by an unlocking code ( you can buy in many places) once is unlock , stays unlock..no matter what you flash
Try something go Settings/connections / More networks/Mobile networks/ network Operator/ choose your carrier and see if it let you register, try others and see what kind of message you get

Already tried to choose my carrier, but sometimes it doesn't even appear, and when it does, connecting to it just throws and error saying "Not Registered On Network".
What I fear is that somehow they unlocked it using the Ariza patch (or other unlock method) which should not be used.
Also after digging some info, that kind of error happens when the device have been IMEI locked, which could be also a possibility given that my SIM works on any other device, but not otherwise. I will have to give a call to support service to discard this theory.

Hi ,
I also feel the same that is the problem , it has not been unlock right.
check with them , let me know what they tell you.
Ok, I have more information, typing on the dial *#0011# to get the Service Mode Menu, it says at the bottom IMEI CERTI: NA. But if y dial *#06# I get my correct IMEI, is something wrong with the EFS folder?

Hi ,
Just cheked mine , it said PASS
For sure something happen when unblocking the phone
Hello!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 that I got from a friend. When my friend gave it to me he still had all his stuff on it so I did a factory reset on the phone. After I reset it the phone had a null IMEI and an unknown baseband. I'm pretty sure the problem is with the modem as I've flashed the stock firmware on the phone several times, I've tried almost all the custom roms on the phone, I've even flashed a whole boatload of different modems.
One of the times I was at school I pulled out my phone to change my music and I noticed it had signal. The phone had signal in different parts of the school and it also had a working IMEI and a baseband. I called 911 to test if the phone worked and the call went through as if the phone never had an issue to begin with. I haven't been able to get any signal on the phone since then. I don't know what else to do and I was hoping someone could help me here! Thanks in advance for those who try to help me!
IMEI Standard answer is to restore your backed up EFS folder as per the faqs and guides .
You may well have a lose connection/ sim within the phone if its intermittent on .
Sadly I don't have a backup of my EFS. I had reset my phone from the settings menu so I didn't think that would cause any problems. Is there anyway I can get a backup of an EFS for the sm-n900 or are there any other solutions?
Is there anyway I can get a backup of an EFS for the sm-n90
NO
You could try flashing a stock lollipop firmware .
Again, I've tried that multiple times already. My EFS folder should be fine if I got signal randomly. My sim contact isn't loose as when I got signal I didn't have a sim in the phone. I think the problem is my modem but if it is I don't even know which modem to use.
Modem for your location/ network .
How do I find the correct modem? I live in the US and my network is MetroPCS
Also, thank you for trying to help me. I honestly appreciate it.
Please help me anyone!
Hello,
sorry for bad english
I switched Displays and Touch on an older S4.
Everything went fine.
After that I flashed the newest Stock Firmware for DBT and flashed it via Odin.
Yes Im stupid. Because I didnt check the Original CsC BL and CP.
Anyway.
Everything went fine again, execpt i dont have any acess to mobile network, cant call, cant recieve calls.
The Sim asks for Pin Code I enter my Pin Code but nothing happens.
Wifi works well.
I really tried everything. I flashed a bunch of different Stock Firmware, i did flash a stock full format firmware and so on.
I tried different Modems.
I Swichted the Antenna hardware with an working from my other S4.
Still the Same issue.
I Start my Phone.
Its asking for my Pincode.
But the Network Signal got 2 Bars, whats very wierd, because before i didnt enter my Pin it should no bars at all.
So i enter the Pincode. Still 2 Bars. But not registerd in Network. Nothing.
IMEI is still avaible
S4 I9505 is from May 2013.
Sorry for my bad english.
And thanks alot
