Try the advice from here. Do make sure to look and see if Safety Assistance is somehow enabled. Safety Assistance can be found in Settings, under the My Device tab.

Your phone's EFS partition seems to have been lost. You may recover it by flashing a modem/radio using odin. Search the forums for a few modems and try them one at a time ( reboot after each try to see if it works )

Yep i fixed it by restoring from the backup i had made in the past.

Hi, I have been playing around with an i9505 and thought I had made a proper backup of my EFS data. Unfortunately that was not the case and I have only backed up the EFS partition, neglecting the others.
I then later chose the *#9090# : "DM/DUN/RmNet over HSUSB " option and allowed it to wipe my EFS data, believing I had a suitable backup.
Upon restoring said backup, my base band is unrecognized and I have no IMEI. The phone also fails to receive any signal.
My question is, will it be possible to recover from this mistake or should I consider it a brick?

You can try to use Kies 3 on your laptop to reload the stock firmware.Then put your phone in Download mode (with the phone completely off, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons) and connect it to your PC. The OS will install the necessary drivers (this may take a few minutes) and then you can select Tools -> Emergency firmware recovery in the Kies software. It'll prompt you for the model number (enter it in CAPS) and IMEI (both found under the battery) and then it'll download the correct firmware and then install it .If the problem still persist try to follow this thread and it might help you, and if still doesnt fix Go to service center for a repair. Have a nice day.
Thank you for you prompt reply. I have tried using both versions of Kies and have not been able to do an emergency recovery.
I have since managed to get the "Qualcomm NV Tools" of "EFS professional" to work and I have confirmed that my IMEI is still present on the phone.
When i try to uses the *#9090# hidden code, all I get is a blank screen. My belief is that the modem is simply not communicating with the phone anymore due to the option I chose "DM/DUN/RmNet over HSUSB". The message I saw was:
"Warning : Must read below guide All Communication between AP/CP- will be disconnected !
To return the normal mode, you must download efs12.tar file !
All NV data will be erased !
Really you want to use RmNET ?"
I'd really like to be able to undo this if anyone can help.
Dial *#1234# and tell me what appears pls :fingers-crossed:
Typing *#1234* gives:
Version
--------------
AP : I9505XXUEMK9
CSC : I9505H3GEMJ2
Apologies for the double post. I am wondering if I backup the NV data from another working i9505 with "Qualcomm NV Tools" and then write that to my phone if that will fix the problem?
I have made a backup of my existing NV and examined the resulting text file. It would appear that nearly everything is blank, except for a couple of fields, one of which I identified as IMEI (Block 00550 / 0x0226). This field is read only which explains why I still have an IMEI.
I would be extremely grateful if somebody could send me their backup, minus the 00550 (0x0226) block so I can avoid having to convince a friend to let me play with their phone.
I have been further investigating this problem and have found that the modem is not communicating with the phone. I believe this has something to do with NV items greater than 65536. This would make sense, as the usual NV backup tools do not save/restore items with a higher address.
Of particular interest to me is :
69674^"HSUSB RMNET Over HS Core"^"USB*"
But the versions of QXDM that are available do not seem to be able to read/write this value. I am hoping there is a command of some form to do this but I am unsure.

Hi mate,
As soon as you clear EFS folder all data IMEI SIm LOck and EFS utils are gone. What u need to do just install new EFS with utils via Odin3 downloader. I have done this way many times. We call this EFS12 file for recovery, buy IMEI and CAL data will be erased. As soos as you get 0/01 IMEI you can try repaur IMEI for example Z3X BOX

I kept backups of all the images replaced and restored them as I had trouble loading recovery. I doubt images from another (different) phone were a great idea.
Recovery is working again but some image said there was not enough space on device to restore !?!

[Q] SGS4 i9505 Lost Some EFS Dats
I did the same with SGS3 GT-I9305. *#9090# corrupted my S3 efs, imei and baseband.
How did you resolve your issue?
Please help!!!
Thanks
Hi good people, I am facing a problem. Around 8 hours back I tried calling someone but the call didn't connect so I restarted the phone and then I lost the network. I tried reboot, flashed different ROMs (unofficial CM14, cm13 nightly build n MM nougat backup), tried with GAPPS and without GAPPS but the problem is persisting. I even tried swapping the Sim cards before that but of no use. I tried debugging by using *#*#4636#*#* but ping test is failed and also there is "TURN RADIO ON" I believe ideally it should be "TURN RADIO OFF". please have a look at the screenshots. I'm almost dying without making important calls.
Update: Guys I have got it working.. Kindly look into my below posts. Please don't misguide people for small issues.
Thanks
In the screenshot we can also see, GSM SERVICE IS OFF. it stays the same even after clean flashing a new custom ROM.
Got it working. Flashed latest COS ROM file however the situation was still the same. Then I removed sim, switched on airplane mode restarted. After reboot inserted Sim then again restarted n then I got the signal
1. Removed Sim card, switched on airplane mode from both power menu and notification toggle.
2. Restart, inserted Sim card and switched off airplane setting from setting. (Notification toggle and power menu didn't work) then got the network.
Please note I tried with only one sim in sim 1 tray. Later I got the network for 2nd sim as well

Which rom did you flash and what was your method of flashing?
You also said simply flashing didn't work. It was what you did with reboot, aeroplane mode and taking out and reinsert the Sim that worked?
I've had the same problem for almost a month now... and i gave my phone to the service center. They called up to inform me that its a motherboard failure and they'll fix it.. I'll provide further info when I get my phone back (probably in 3-4 days)
P.S I tried almost every method to make it work. So if you couldn't make it work in first 2 days or so, dont waste your time and just give it for the servicing (make sure its in Stock OS so that they dont ask any questions about root xD )

I flashed almost every latest ROM. But no ROM got the network back. So as a last resort I flashed COS 12.1 and still didn't get the network. Then I removed both the sims, activated flight mode restarted the device, left it couple of minutes and inserted only one sim in first slot. Holla I got the network. Then everything is back to normal
If u r facing the same problem I would suggest u to activate flight mode n restart. If it doesn't work try by removing sim cards, if it still doesn't work try COS 12.1.

Usual procedure of flashing. Wipe cache, dalvik, system and data. Flash ROM + Gapps. Reboot
Try to search in the forum. There is a lot of threads with the same problem with the Zuk Z1. It is a hardware problem.

Your modem and baseband sections may be damaged. Modem structure is hidden under qualcomm structure. To Access and repair those sections, you need to do some modifications. I managed to make my Zuk Z1 worked again with some tweaking. Altering that part of the phone is illegal due to its restricted elements such as IMEI number. That's why I cannot post a tutorial here. İt is not allowed. However, I can help you if you personally contact me. I hope you get your signal back soon.

Please follow xda rules and don't tell people illegal things where they get in trouble. Keep in mind, that's not an illegal forum
Sure thing but I have already mentioned it. I didn't post anything illegal. So, take it easy.

Hi bro first of all thanks for helping me out here but i tried to download a firmware from the site you gave me & its downloading at 15kbps!! It will take too much time to download...
is there any other source i can download it?
+ can you please explain what will be different from the stock 4.3 rom i installed?
Thanks again for helping out, Much appreciated!!
You should flash the latest 5.01 rom, not 4.3.
Try searching for the rom on updato.com.

and i get the same exact problem

i have the imei number on the sticker under the battery btw if that helps
Did you flash anything else that could have caused the loss of imei?
The imei should be able to be injected by a cell repair shop via jtag.

Hello,
My phone always says emergency calls only after upgrading a new firmware. I've tried airplane mode, switching different sim cards, the name of the network comes and it says, 'can't now, try again later.' I've tried and tried to no avail. I also used the Z3X tool, and when it is reading data it comes with an error written 'reading data (0)' while trying to patch certificate.
If anyone has a solution for this please help me, because it's annoying.

It means you flashed a different firmware or you lost imei
Make sure to enable OEM unlock before proceeding
Flash modded twrp and then flash any custom rom

Install latest stock rom via odin and your signal problem should be gone. After that you can flash twrp and install customs roms to your liking.
