that is happened to me last year but the solution is changed the original IMEI in order to get back the baseband. because there is a possibility that your IMEI is blocked in samsung.
press thanks if i helped you...

As long as it's an n9005 you can flash firmware for any country. There are certain limitations off course such as do not flash HongKong firmware, do not flash older firmware than the current one and a few others.
How many firmware have you flash to recover your imei?. Flashing stock firmware would bring the imei back but off course not all the time. Try the latest one from sammobile

The IMEI is under the battery. Phone INFO Samsung from Play should give you some info about the phone itself. There are several ways to retrieve an original IMEI and EFS - do a search and see what comes up. But flashing Stock SHOULD work - if you have a HK phone it's awkward because they seem to have different PIT files.

I'm pretty certain that EFS is specific to your phone only, seeing as your IMEI is unique.

Unfortunately, without your EFS backup there isn't much you can do other than send it back to Samsung to be sorted.
Did you buy the phone new? If so flash it all back to stock, take it back where you bought it and see if they can send it off for you? If not, i'm not sure what you can do

Agree ...
Have heard other solving this problem after flashing back to stock (use Odin PC).
If flashing does not work, then next (and only) step is to send it to a service center.

Flash any firmware for your phone. No need to pit file. And no need to multi package firmware, all included in one pda package.

Hello. I just bought note 2 N7100 from friend and when I'm trying to call it says "Not registered on the network" and imei is 004999010640000 how to fix this? I find lot of ways on interned but i'm noob and I dont understand. My android is 4.3
It happened after I did factory reset
Can anyone help me? :/
try patch from dr.ketan and make sure it is not locked by gsm operator - when someone lost phone, operator can lock the IMEI, so you will have useless toy...
Your imei number is generic, you need to restore the backup of your efs partition.

I had an issue recently where my efs was corrupted (my IMEI said unknown). I did not have a backup but a flash of the stock ROM from Samsung using Odin solved my issue. If that didn't work I was going to try a tool called EFS professional that might help you also.

Tried that...
I have a n9005 with knox set. It's running omega rom version 21. I haven't updated modem for a long time and the modem version was XXUENA2. So I thought oh it's about time to upgrade that. Then all hell broke lose.
I flashed to the latest DXUGNH1 and it was ok, but after rebooting the phone, I lost mobile data while voice was still ok. So I flashed again to XXUFNG2. This time the baseband version and IMEI number became unknown.
I then tried to flash to some other version and flash back to the old na2 version but nothing worked. I even tried "Fix Soft Brick Loop_ EFS partition" script thinking it might be an EFS problem but that didn't help either.
Now I'm sitting here trying to download a stock samsung rom to flash. Will that help, I don't know...
If anybody has any idea, please let me know. I'm desperate to get it fixed.

Thanks for the tip guys. Just before I go and download it, I just want to know whether there is a particular reason for flashing that version?

Your bootloader is new, and old modems not working on a new bootloader

flash stock fw NH1 whit odin
Hi guys
I have run into little problem that I'm hoping learned members here can help me with.
I have a Note 3 SM-9005 that was running Kitkat 4.4.2 and I got it updated to 5.0 from a mobile repair guy. Everything looked smooth until I got home and noticed that now the WiFi does not work anymore. It always stays greyed out and never turns on.
I have tried turning on download booster, smartswitch, nothing helps. I have wiped cache, wipe data / factory reset but that's of no help.
Can you please help me get my WiFi working again.
Many thanks.
Cheers

That's the UK version isn't it? Should I just grab that file and use Odin to flash right?
Would it be compatible with my phone which has a UAE version installed currently?
Ok just checked. It looks to be the Phillipines/Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand version. With some of them branded. Not sure which one I should be picking up?
The stock ROM may be slightly different for each country but you can try the latest Singapore version.

Will it trip Knox? As I would be putting a SIN firmware on a XSI (UAE) handset?
Flashing a stock rom will not trip Knox.
Personally, unless there is warranty left on the phone, I wouldn't worry about tripping the Knox counter.

Thanks for your reply.
I have also just noticed that the WiFi hotspot (tethering) doesn't work either.
I downloaded the latest XSI (UAE) firmware and installed it using Odin. But the problem still persists.
Should I try downloading and installing a Singapore firmware?
Is there a possibility that this phone is actually a carrier branded phone and was later debranded and that's why it's having this problem?
Please help life is difficult without Wifi
Does Bluetooth work? It's possible that the phone has a defective wifi chip. I have two galaxy s4 phones that have dead wifi chips but everything else works.
You can try flashinga another country's firmware but not sure if that will help.
Do you have a backup of the efs folder?

Yes the bluetooth works.
The phone's WiFi was working fine before being updated to Lollipop.
No I got it updated from a phone repair guy before I got my hands dirty and put the new firmware my self. So no efs folder backup, unfortunately.
Hmm without knowing what the repair person did to the phone or how the update was performed, it's possible something went wrong during the flash process. Does the phone show the correct imei and MAC address?

He did it in front of me and from memory I can tell that he took a firmware file and used a software (probably Odin) to flash it in download mode.
The phone does show the correct IMEI as written under the battery spot and in device info does show a WiFi mac addresd however I'm unsure how to verify if that may be the correct one.
I have browsed Google and found few other people's posts on different forums who have this exact same problem. Someone suggested that I should reflash the firmware with bootloader checked using Odin.
Do you think it may be of help?
I have just discovered that the serial number on the back of the phone under battery is different from what is reported by the device.
Does this give any hint to what may be the issue?
Please help me,, i have a samsung galaxy s5 neo (g903f). But, imei null, wifi not working, and baseband unknown... How i can fix it?
Sorry for my bad english
1. Remove that cancer (emoji)
2. Remove your IMEI from the post
3. Sammobile is where you download firmwares from. It does not matter what country, because G9xxF is intended for European market.
4. Go to IMEI.info, input your IMEI and you'll see a green Warranty button right under the image of the phone, on the right side of the page. Here you input your Serial Number (SN) and it'll say where it was made. Most likely Vietnam.
