OK, all started about a month ago when i decided to buy my current Note 4 N910C. I had a Note 2 N7100 on Cricket Wireless and everything was working just fine, when i got my Note 4 it came with Uzbekistan Android 4.4.4 N910COXE1ANK5, after setting up my new phone i went ahead and rooted it , everything was perfect while i was on Kitkat ANK5 rom. Then i flashed the latest 5.0.1 Lollipop rom which is B0C5, and on the bottom of the screen a REFRESHING SIM DATA popup stated to appear, every 10 minutes, or anywhere where the phone had poor or no signal.
After almost a month searching and asking i never got a solid answer but i really appreciate all kind of people who tried to help me, it was really frustrating reading all over the internet about this annoying REFRESHING SIM DATA message. After trying to flash latest firmwares thru Odin, changing APNs, setting network mode manually, after buying a new SIM, nothing really helped , i thought i had a faulty device. Finally i asked alot of times if can even flash a KitKat Modem into Lollipop Rom, but like before never got a solid answer, that it will brick my device, that it cant be done, so i didnt want to try cuz i have no warranty on this expensive phone.
After asking again to my friend and awesome developer @not-i i got a solid answer that i can really flash KitKat modem in my Lollipop rom, here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-nj4-4-4-4-t2923953/post56398444#post56398444
The FIX
So finally i flashed the old Kitkat ANK5 Modem into my Lollipop B0C5 5.0.1 rom, and TA DAAAAAA no more annoying REFRESHING SIM DATA, my speeds went up, i got a much better signal now, i can use LTE,
CONCLUSION
There are still thousands of people of a 100s forum asking and looking for a way to fix this annoying message and i really hope this thread can help them. Cheers:fingers-crossed:

my question was are u rooted? if you are rooted you should have a custom recovery, you should go to recovery, install, and look for the zip file you downloaded, and install it. If you are not rooted, then you need root, custom recovery, and then follow this instructions, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Yes sir....basically any phone having weak signal problems...or the annoying REFRESHING SIM DATA the fix is flashing an older modem or a modem that give you the best results...as for me Lollipop modems didnt fix anything...in the other hand after flashing Kitkat modem using Lollipop rom my signal is much stronger...hope it goes well...just read instructions before flashing...always make a backup first...god bless...cheers:fingers-crossed:

If you can find a stock firmware and TWRP, let me know. This is why I love my Note 4 and Tab 4 10.1.

It came with 5.0.1 and none of the "working methods" work at all including yours. It just sits there saying "waiting for device" after it pushes 3 files to it then it reboots and just sits there.
Nevermind I got it...just need TWRP to make a custom recovery for it.
So, has anyone found a working custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) for Sprint version yet, LK430?
I've been scouring all over for this and there seems to be nothing yet. Every other variant of the tablet seems to have some way to get this except for the lk430... I wish I had more time to contribute but it seems like someone needs to contribute a little more time to be able to at least patch what's out there to make this happen...
I can tell you DO NOT attempt to put a v410 recovery on this as it will not work...
I don't even really care to have cellular service on this and am just looking to put CM on it.

Strange, as I have used it many times before without a problem on lolipop and kitkat! Too bad it was of no help to you.
Are you using a n900t @scotteb ?

no, 900w8 but from my knowledge of these phones, they are basically the same. The file I gave you was made by @filichi and was for the 900w8 and the 900t. I still need to use it on some rom's but not as much as i did months ago.
Aight cool well maybe I was using the old kit kat file.. Lemme download a tw ROM and give it a go! Thanks for the speedy reply @scotteb
I've searched and tried too many methods none of them worked.
I even broke my device (soft break) while I was trying to do a root using a method for SM-A800F model, and I had a really bad day.
I couldn't restore my device using stock rom it failed on writing boot.img step (using odin).
I had to extract boot.img from the stock firmware (using winrar) then creating a new boot.tar using this tool tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad to fix the problem.
I've tried too many "one click root apps" for both PC and Android (king root, Frama, mobogenie, root genius, rootx, few more) also none of them worked.
any help would be great
Thanks
SOLVED
I managed to get my phone rooted by following the instructions on this reply

I've got this response from RVR, But I'm not convinced that this solution will work, because the recovery is not for this device.
it's for Samsung Galaxy Alpha which has 5.0.2 android version, mine is 5.1.1.
I think he just opened androidfilehost forum and searched for A8 and got a file for wrong device:
androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=A8
Here's the link ..
Select in the AP tab of odin
Uncheck the auto reboot button
flash
reboot straight into recovery
Try flashing the SuperSU zip .. : download.chainfire.eu/SuperSU
Keep Stock firmware handy to flash in case the zip flash fails

nope as far as I know,and I'll not try it, because I'm pretty sure that it will not work and it will soft break the device because of the reasons that I mentioned before.

I have been looking around and reading a lot about this model phone G935U. I am wanting to run a custom ROM on it,
but I would need a custom recovery in order to flash the ROM correct ??
I do not think there is a custom recovery ( TWRP ) at all for this model G935U because our bootloader is locked.
So with no recovery we have NO CUSTOM ROM's right ??
Or is there a way to flash a ROM via Odin and not have TWRP ? I can not believe I got this expensive phone and I can not flash ANYTHING.
Thank you for any ideas or tips. BTW I am rooted and running ......API3 boot-loader.

I can't believe it either. You'd think you'd read up first.
FlashFire. Google it

Oh thanks. I do remember hearing that name before. Issue now would be, what to flash since none of the roms are labeled for G935U. DO you know of any ?
