Hi,
I own a GS4 - i9505G - with google ROM edition v 4.3.
yesterday I tried to upgrade the ROM to 4.42 (Google ROM clean version without any tweaks, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026).
After the upgrade, the UI & ROM seem to work fine but I have no carrier signal.
When I perform the mobile networks operators' search I can see all networks and by clicking "Choose automatically" I managed to renew the signal. However, after a very short while the signal is lost again (manual joining to the network does not work at all).
I searched and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
and this lead me to use ODIN and flash the modem (twice, as recomended).
I used the modem file exactly for my phone base version which is: XXUBMH1.
However, even after flashing twice - still no signal....
Since I had Nandroid backup (always VERY highly recommended) I returned to the original 4.3 ROM version and then everything worked fine.
I also made another try to identify the issue and installed the 4.42 Google ROM edition which is not the Google clean original version and performed a factory wipe and cleaning everything
(this time the ROM I used was downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353).
However, same story and no signal....
I would very much appreciate any idea how to solve this issue.
By the way - from December I began to receive a notification on the device that an upgrade ROM was downloaded requesting me to click to install. However, when I tried to operate it the process always failed in the first steps (don't remember the error code). If anyone can direct me where to delete the file that was downloaded - it will also be very helpful due to the low free memory on the device.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
I now that for some roms you need to use TWRP recovery, or you will get "no signal".
Try flashing the rom with TWRP recovery and see if that solves your problems.
thanks but no cure yet

Thanks for the advice!
However, it seems that the cure is elsewhere. I had the PhilZ 6, and now converted to TWRP, but issue stays the same.
It appears that the signal is not totally lost, but the network connection can only be maintained for a short while, and only after a reset and when choosing automatic network registration. Soon after the signal disappears.
All other wireless aspects (WIFI, BT) seem to be working fine like before.
I am still breaking my teeth for a solution here...
Thanks.
Why are you installing a rom for the i9505 on a i9505G?
That would probably explain your issues.
You say that your phone is I9505G, but both of those roms are for I9505. Don't ever do such thing. You're lucky you didn't brick your phone. Check your IMEI
thanks for the note

Indeed I didn't notice the difference and thank you for this very important note.
I would like to elaborate - my phone was bought as a standard i9505, but I installed a clean Google Edition ROM on it and then checked under "Settings"/"About phone" menu to see the Model number "GT-I9505G".
I am now not so sure that this is the true model of I9505G, even though this is the information shown on the phone. If the model relates only to original Google Rom Edition phones then I am wrong and probably confused you.
My IMEI is: 3576********. Can you help me with the true definition and the files that I need to install?

First of all know this: You should never reveal your IMEI, it's not safe. Edit your post and hide your Imei number.
Now check again if the Imei that you see inside settings> is the same as the one from the back of the phone, under the battery. If its the same then you are fine. As for the device model, you can also find the model under the battery, and if it says that it's a i9505G than that should clear all the confusion.
My advice would be go back to stock official using ODIN. Grab the latest firmware from sammobile. It's always the safest thing to do, and it should handle all the mess
its a I9505

Many thanks for your message - even though I feel stupid both for not thinking to check "under the hood" and also for publishing the IMEI (now fixed).
It appears that my phone model is I9505. This validates my initial question, how to update the Google Edition ROM (clean version) from 4.3 to 4.42, but avoid the loss of network signal... I will try to take it to a local store and solve my unknown issues with the upgrade by paying a few bucks.
Many thanks anyway!

My last guess is that you are using an incorrect modem. Are you still on the old bootloader?
If you are already on the new bootloader, just flash the latest modem available. If it is correct that you have XXUBMH1, then you are using a modem that is to old for 4.4.2.
this is very true

I think that this is the correct problem identification and that my modem file is not updated for 4.42.
I tried to flash the updated modem file for XXUBMH1 version (in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025), but this did not solve the problem (even after flashing it twice).
Could I flash a different modem file than the one set for the phone base version which I have (or do I risk bricking my device)? and does the base version change after installing the new ROM (I forgot to check this after the new ROM was installed)? If yes then I will re-install it and flash the new modem file which should solve the problem.
Thanks for helping out.
Which modem did you flash? And are you on the old or new bootloader?
After flashing the sm-n9005 to N9005DXUENE4 the phone is not function at all. Though I can still boot into the system it becomes very laggy, baseband unknown, imei null sound and camera not working. Did try to flash Sweetrom V7 still the same. Anyway if there's a way I can bring it back to life?
Try to flash back stock rom..or restore thru kies 3 will be much better..
Sent from my GT-S7500 using XDA Free mobile app
Did try the stock rom already, still the same.

IMEI NULL/NULL is modem or hardware problem
My guess is that it is due to a modem/firmware mismatch. Start flashing a modem for same fw version.
did that already, one more thing the phone keyboard and the swipe to unlock is not responsive at all.repair.
did you find any solution and fixed your phone ?

When arrive the problem and which rom and modem do you have before?
You need to go back on this... you Don t have efs backup?????
Otherwise try to put NF2 modem with NF4 rom. Bootloader is not important.
But check if modem well installed because odin says PASS but still on old modem
Try to flash latest NG2 firmware after whipe cache and factory reset. It did the job for me.

And another question my first N9005 slept in water during almost whole night. When i wake up in the morning i found my phone in water since many hours. I give it repair shop to check also but seems to main board needs to be replaced. Connection sockets damaged badly like melted half of them. is it possible to only change the connection sockets instead of whole mainboard ? Any idea ? and Where can i get only the connection sockets ? from samy ? ))
And i am starting the googled to find N9005 mainboard sockets
You re the terminator of N9005.? ....... no idea about motherboard or connector sorry....
I am having the same issue,
I'm new to the site been cool so far learned a lot and done a lot with my Note 3 since being here.
I recently rooted and install a custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) that works great, I tried flashing back to stock but encountered a major problem. after flashing to stock my IMEI is unknown and also my base-band from reading it seem as if my EFS got corrupted tried a ton of different thing and still I cant get this to work on stock. Only way my IMEI and base-band comes back is whenever I reinstall the custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) and restore the EFS that was backed up during the first installation of this rom
Thanks in advance all help is greatly appreciated. :good::good:

Difficult understand your post .
Suggest flashing latest stock rom for your model and test .Check IMEI correct . Back up EFS .
So I tried a few roms this morning (Resurrection Remix, Goldfinger, Imperium) and since then, i've noticed I'm no longer getting a 4G connection. It's either 3G or H+.
I have no idea why, can anyone help me out?
Before anyone asks, I've tried *#1234# and I get the message "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."
can anyone help me out?
I've now got CM12 installed, after a complete wipe of everything, and still no 4g -_-
You have to be on a stock ROM to get the AP, CP, and CSC of your S4, as the code only works through the stock dialer. Speaking of which, install a stock ROM and tell us if the problem continues. If it does, BEFORE flashing back to your custom ROM, please post the following information.
1. Model Number
2. Android Version, found by going to Settings > More > About device.
3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing Phone Info from the Play Store and running it.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)
1. Model Number - GT-I9505
2. Android Version - 4.4.2
3. Firmware Version - AP: I9505XXUFNB8 CP: I9505XXUFNB8 CSC: I9505BTUFNB3
4. Service Provider - 3 UK
5. Country - United Kingdom
6. Is the phone rooted? - At the moment, since I've just installed stock 4.4.2 - No.
7. Is a custom ROM installed? - No. Stock.
Appreciate the help!
You didn't mention whether you were able to get LTE on the stock ROM. But, check to see if your network is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM in settings.
No im still only getting 3G/H+ and yes, its set to LTE by default.
I always get 4G when sitting at my computer, but ever since I flashed a couple different roms last night, I've not been able to get a 4G signal. I havn't a clue what's happened.
Flash the stock modem for your phone through Odin. Do it twice if need be. Sometimes the modem firmware fails to correctly register leading to odd problems like this. Check to be sure everything works, then flash the custom ROM of your choice, or stay stock but debloat your ROM.

How do I know what my stock modem is? Thats what confuses me.
If you're unlocked, you can use any stock modem you want from the modem thread in General. Grab the one at the bottom of the list as it's the latest.

ok I flashed the XXUGNG2 modem. If im not mistaken XX designates United Kingdom, and NG2 seems to be the latest of those. So thats the one I flashed. So far there doesn't seem to be any difference though. Checked it via *#1234# and CP reads I9500XXUGNG2 so It looks like it flashed properly.
Ok crisis averted. It seems 3 must be doing some kind of maintenance in my area because I just tried an EE sim card in my phone and it recieves a 4G signal just fine. Nice of 3 to do maintenance at exactly the same time I decided to try a couple of new roms.... Just my luck.
Anyway, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong my phone after all, but thanks for your time trying to help me.
Hi.. I'm in way over my head trying to install a more debloated Rom than the original stock. Unfortunately I didn't succeed very well.
I tried two different ROMS and both of them turned the Sim off and on every second or so. Lots of *pling* noises followed by a message that the Sim card was or wasn't present. It changed so much back and forth that I didn't even get a chance to enter the pin. I belive it is because of some combabillity issues between the rom and baseband/radio version
This lead me to the question: How do I know what rom and baseband would be the most suited for me? I'm living in Denmark (nordic country), but I simply can't figure what rom that is compatible with what baseband.
Boot into Odin mode and verify the model number. Then go to Sammobile.com, download a rom for your country,and install it with Odin.
Did you buy the phone in the country where it is being used?

Sorry if what I'm asking is obvious, but when I install a custom rom, I also need to make sure I install a compatible radio for my area, right?
Sammobile is only stock ROMS, right? And I'm trying to debloat her phone. So when installing a custom rom from this forum and either the reception is bad, it doesn't register Sim card properly or the like.. It might be because I need another baseband than the one that came with the rom right? And what do I need to look for in that regard?
Sorry, but I find it pretty complicated.
I recommend flashing a completely stock ROM, set it up, and make sure everything is working properly. If it doesn't work properly on a stock ROM, it is unlikely it will work properly on a custom ROM.
I find it best to run the latest bootloader and modem regardless of which ROM will be used with the phone.
Problems can sometimes occur when flashing current ROMs over old bootloaders and modems.

Thank you for the already helpful reply.
The thing you say about always flashing newest modem regardless of rom, is very helpful. I didnt even know you could do that. But my problem persist:
I already flashed back to stock, and it runs fine. SO far so good. The problem is that out of 16 GB, the bloatware is justing taking up to much space. But the last two rom I tried both had problems recognising the SIM card (toggled present/not present all the time).
Thats not the case on stock.. So how do I find the proper modem for my phone to use with a custom rom?
I keep seeing a link to sammobile, but all I can find is the bloated stock rom (or I dont know what to look for). Can I grab just the modem somewhere?
When installing a custom rom, it changes the current modem right? AFAIK I have to flash the proper modem afterwards, right?
And therein lies my problem: I dont know how to find the most suited one for my country (which is denmark). And the one that comes with the roms seems to be the wrong ones.
PS: A follow up question: Kernel and baseband/radio/modem is not the same, right? The kernel is not region specific, as the baseband/radio/modem, right?

Custom ROMs can't change your modem, they can't write to those partitions.
In other words, your modem will be the same no matter what. The only way to change it is to flash the appropriate modem files or an actual stock ROM.
SO with the stock rom working now, the modem/rom combination would not be the culprit if something doesnt work afterwards?
What could have been the issue with the sim card connecting and disconnecting every second on the other rom I tried? (Iperium/Imperial something)

What I said is that a custom ROM can't change your modem. But that doesn't mean it can't be affected by your modem.
You may want to read Imperium ROM's install instructions very carefully, cuz I'm pretty sure you missed something important.
Doh.. You might be right.. Ill try flashing the tar files in Odin.
But I just recently got my phone to behave when connecting on Odin.. It also connected back and forth all the time. Putting a USB hub in the middle solved it though (and made it possible to revert to stock). Any idea wht that was about? I reckon either some driver or USB power problem? But Im really fumbling understanding it all, and when it acts up at the same time, even the most simple problems can be hard to see through (because there is always the uncertainty that I misunderstood something basic)..
Just having this conversation helped me understand a lot better how the ROMs and modem is connected (or more precise: How they are not).
And I actually may have had the right baseband all along (Nordic Countries). I will know when I tried flashing the rom again.
Thank you very much
It doesn't matter where you are from, the phone should work with any baseband in any country.
The thing is that some ROMs (like Imperium here) may require a different modem to function properly. In this case, it may require the PG1 modem (listed in the Imperium thread) to solve your problems.
Before flashing a stock ROM, confirm the model # in download mode.
If you want a debloated stock ROM, you could flash a stock ROM, flash TWRP recopvery, flash supersu for root, and use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall apps.
So right now I tried flashing the Resurrection Remix ROM, but it wont make any calls (a voice just says that the number cant be reached, even though I know the numbers exist). What could be the case there?
The modem and bootloader may be too old.
can it also be to new?
I have consulted the below site several times, but the link is dead to the page where I can look up what modem to use.
Can someone please point me in the right direction of which to use?
This site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
What modem should I choose for my phone? Living in Denamrk and trying with the ressurection remix rom? I tried 3 different of the modems starting with XX but all have the same problem: I cant make any calls. It just says that "there isnt any members on the selected number".
Making calls works fine on stock rom

The ones linked in the Imperium ROM thread are the newest.
And no, it can't be too new.
It's probably something related to your phone model not being fully supported by the ROM.
JDCTeam ROMs should work, because they support a wide range of S4 models.
I got stock rom to work (again again)
And now I managed to flash the JDC Team you recommended and still having the baseband from the stock rom (Which were able to make calls)
But whatyaknow.. I STILL cant make outgoing calls on the custom roms! What in the world can be the problem? I spent the whole day on this.
.. I should be able to make outgoing calls without flashing Gapps, right?
Yes, you should be able to make calls without gapps.
You flashed the latest stock rom and confirmed everything works?
You confirmed the model number in download mode?
Hi there,
I've been struggling with an Note 3 that for some unknown reason doesn't detected the SIM card unless it's flashed with the stock ROM. The stock ROM doesn't include the bootloader/modem and contains only the OS. I've been asking around on the baseband thread[0] about this but I think this is a broader issue as I can get the phone to work (including SIM detection) with custom bootloader/modem.
Below the steps I've taken so far:
Step 01: Recently I acquired a Note 3 and installed LineageOS 14.1 on it.
Step 02: I noticed that the SIM was not detected by LineageOS and read up on this topic via the usual channels (e.g. reddit, xda forums, LineageOS JIRA). Based on the information I gathered I tested various bootloader/modem settings, especially those other reported as working, but couldn't get LineageOS to detect the SIM with any of these. This is where I signed up to this forum and created my first post describing the situation thus far. [1]
Step 03: After the feedback on this thread I confirmed that the bootloader/modem were flashed correctly. To eliminate any other causes of the firmware being broken by redoing most of the tests with Odin (I've mainly used Heimdall up till that point). Still LineageOS didn't detect my SIM even with combinations that worked for others. [2]
Step 04: To exclude it was an issue specific to LineageOS I installed ~10 other custom ROMS from different groups and using different versions of Android. In all of these the SIM was still not detected. [3]
Step 05: After installing the stock ROM (without the matching bootloader/modem) the Note 3 was suddenly detecting the SIM and I was able to make phone calls. [4]
Step 06: I expressed my confusion about the earlier not working bootloader/modem not working with the other ROMs but that those did work with the stock ROM. [5]
This is where we are now. I don't fully grasp why the stock ROM (which doesn't include bootloader/modem) does detect my SIM whilst all the other custom ROMs don't although they're having the same bootloader/modem binaries that should make it work.
Anyone has experienced this before as well or know what might be the issue?
Thanks!

Where are your getting the stock ROM? As far as I know, roms on sammobile.com, updato.com, and samsung-firmware.org all contain a bootloader and modem with the exception of some 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 ROMs.

I've grabbed them via a page on the ROMs section of this subforum (second link): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72540914&postcount=4340
Direct ROM download link: https://mega.nz/#!VU13SY5J!GrYB2Wqbo7DNs_Bbg8trkUcftaeES8jfgWMqXepv2cw
[EDIT] Perhaps I'm wrong and this ROM does include the modem and bootloader. In that can I can perhaps (don't know how) extract the modem/bootloader from that and combine it with a custom ROM. But if it doesn't contain these binaries than I'm clueless on what makes the stock ROM detect the SIM where other ROMs don't.
That mega link says
S5.
Not Note 3.

Och that is sloppy... not sure why I found that in the Note 3 ROMs section but I should have double checked. Its still weird that that specific ROM does work with the pre-flashed modem/bootloader whist other ROMs don't, right?
I think I have a complete firmware package (that requires Odin/Heimdall) from sammobile somewhere. I'll double check that one.

you can use BL and CP files form here. and flash them separately via odin and check if it works.

That is what I tried to explain in the OP. These bootloader/modem combinations ONLY work with the stock ROM I linked to.
As I said its not a Note 3 stock rom.
Its a custom /ported rom.
Stock sammobile. Updato.com etc

That is not a stock ROM, it is custom ROM that doesn't contain a bootloader or modem. You need to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com.
I did a quick test with a full stock firmware package from sammobile. Also with this package I get the SIM card detected. The moment I flash, using TWRP, another ROM (just tested a recent LineageOS 14.1 nighty) the SIM card is no longer detected. As far as I'm concerned this excludes the stock firmware from the pile of options and re-affirms my suspicion that it is something related to the ROMs themselves. The Samsung ROMs (either official or ported) do something different than any of the other ROMs... at least on this device.
Its your phone then thats the problem.
Which stock ROM are you flashing?

N9005XXSGBPL4_N9005PHNGBOJ1_PHN which I got from this sammobile page.
That did look like the latest ROM.
Just to confirm but flashing stock ROM, flashing twrp, and flashing a custom ROM gives you the sim problem?

yes. this is weird.
but on the other hand just to know.
did you try different sim's ? may be the issue is related to that particular sim card.
i too have note 3 N-9005. but i never faced this type of situation ever.
my current Bootloader (BL) is N9005XXUGBPH2
Baseband (CP) is N9005DXUGBOK3
Current Rom is AryaMod Note 7 Port 2.1
i have used Ressurection remix, C9 pro upto version 4, magma Nx, Los 14, Arya mod v.9 on this same BL and CP. and NO issues so far.
may be you can try once more with these same settings/files as mine.
1st Flash Stock Rom
2nd Check from Phone Info your current settings in the Firmware tab (backup it's apk now, so that you can install it later without logging in G-services.) screenshot attached. Download the SAME BL & CP and flash it via ODIN.
3rd if it's the same, then go ahead and use TWRP 2.8.7.0 (this version is what i use).
4th now flash any of these roms written above. start with RR as the Rom is lesser in size.
5th (optional) if you want to flash a different kernel too, but flash after rom if the kernel included does not work.
now tell us the results, if the issue is resolved or not.
ONE MORE THING.
this model N9005 does not have LTE Band 40 support so if your network only provide LTE on band 40 like mine does. LTE wont work. Only 2g or 3g will work. and stock rom's 1st option of network is 2g or 3g i think.
HI,
think I'm having the same problem here. Except for me the official 14.1 version is detecting my sim card. All other "unofficial versions" 15.1 &16 are not detecting my SIM card. Any workarounds ?
Ive had the issue to with even the touch wiz variants of arya mod and others I'm in the united states though and I have to do tmo variants of aosp. Im using a emmc brick bug unlocked note 3. I'm on vzw btw. Im worried to do a full flash because ive seen mixed things on doing a full Odin update on the emmc brick bug phones saying it reverses the unlock
