N9005 can't make calls and SMS

Hi folks! Im hoping someone can help me sort this out.
I rooted my n9005 using CF-root to install custom ROMs. I wanted to back-up EFS and searched google play store for an app, I found "Efs by BORIS.X.1" app.
This app is not to be used for NOTE 3 as per warning by the developer but I'm so stupid not to read. :crying:
My phone got into a bootloop and if I was able to pass boot up, after few seconds it would restart. I have scouted the forums for fixes and I have found one. I am now able to boot my phone normally but cannot make calls and sms.
My IMEI is unknown, I already fixed it using "EFS pro" tool, IMEI is showing now but still no calls and sms. I also noticed that the serial number is not the same as the one written at the back of the phone. I have read that restoring EFS solves this problem, but I don't have EFS backup.
To sum things up, the phone now boots up normally, IMEI is showing the right one, serial number still incorrect, can connect via WiFi, can't make calls and sms but phone has signal bars and says "Emergency Calls Only".
When trying to make a call, "not registered to network" shows up.
Im on MJ6 BTU firmware with root and TWRP recovery. I originally got my phone with MJ1 KSA firmware.
Im planning to bring my device to a nearest samsung sevice center but im not sure of they will accept it or if they can fix it even at a price.
It's been literally days since I had a good night sleep.
Please help. Thanks!

Having the same problem...How did you get your phone connected to efs pro? Every time I try my device reboots :/ Is it possible in recovery mode? Which recovery?
Did you find a final solution?

•You need to be rooted first.
•Make sure USB debugging is enabled.
•Dial *#0808# on your phone and select the same items in the image
•Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable and open up EFS Pro.
I still haven't figured out the solution of my problem.
I brought my phone to the nearest Samsung service center but their solution is just to replace the motherboard which is very expensive.

Thanks mate! I tried that before, I was able to get out of the bootloop but still no calls/sms/data connection.
I'm going to try it again though.

Change 12 in that script to 11 for n9005

tried it but still no luck.
still no calls, sms, & data.
the serial number is still not the same as the one printed on the sticker of the phone.
maybe I really need to change my motherboard?

My phone is fixed now. The one and only solution that worked for me is replacing the motherboard. Samsung Saudi did it, and I paid a fortune for it.

Worked For Me By SPT Repair 3G Network On N900w8 Using Spt

No signal or hope!

This is on behalf of a family member so I would really appreciate it guys if you could help.
Have a S4 snapdragon 600 variant and she bought it with everything working. I unlocked it for her using the region lock app and a bit of tweaking with which is best modem But after a few days (like 3 or 4 days after) on a custom ROM her signal started playing up, she only gets one bars or nothing at all wherever she goes. 2 bars on rare cases.
So I put her phone completely back to stock and still same problems. Tried a lot of modems too. Some make it worse some just the same.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Her warranty is voided due to Knox :/
Please help out guys!

You have the correct modem. The problem is that exactly. You flashed a lot of modems and maybe u ****ed ur phone forever. Try to:
1. Make a factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything)
2. Flash again same firmware BTU through ODIN (like in pic attached)

even in auto mode, i tried everything i could try and i cant seem to find a solution for this, my guess is it's either a hardware problem but i dont know how could that happen.

Hello,
I answer here to help also someone else in case has the same problem.
Fiest thing: you wrote CDMA module, what variant is?
The GT-I9505 has a LTE/WCDMA module, not CDMA.
Have you touched something with secret menu codes? If you don't know what they are, the answer is no
What carrier do you have?
Have you roaming enabled?
You data plan reduces connection after a total GBs used at maximum speed?
Try to flash latest available modem fw along with latest bootloader, you can find them here

Thank u for ur reply,
First you are right I'm talking about the LTE/WCDMA module, and yes i messed up a little bit the with the secret menu codes but only after i got the issue, not before that.
I'm from morocco so the carrier is a moroccan one called inwi, the carrier does not reduce the speed, when u consume the GBs given the service is suspended.
the issue appeared when i was using wanam lite 3.1 i'm using wifi at home all the time so i couldnt notice until i went out and used data, i noticed that i only have edge in locations that used to give me H+, so when i tried to force wcdma by choosing wcdma only i got emergency calls only.
i messed around before with a couple of bootloaders and modems, I still cannot figure it out
your help is appreciated, thanks in advance

I had the same problem on Wanam. What solved it for me:
Use Shortcut Master (lite) to go to this menu: 4636
Then go to phone information and change the bandwith to something else. Then set it back to LTE/WCDMA or whatever works for you. Strange but it worked for me.

Get the network cable changed or change it yourself.
The only easy "non software" related solution.
Or maybe if it is in the software, tried flashing the stock rom or any ither custom rom after a full wipe.
Mine was with the stock rom but ozcan rom + data wipe has solved it..
Not i get H+ in only wcdma amd E/H+ in auto mode. (depending on the network area)

First try to talk to your service provider, they must activate 4g at their end.

If it says Sim is not Verizon then it's most probably locked
Dial *#0011# and check stats
Also check service menu code or Samsung phone info app from playstore to check lock status of your phone
If locked
Try using tool/apps like Samsung Firmware Tool,Z3x to unlock or check forum for unlock method

I don't think it has anything to do with a custom ROM it has more to do with EFS and CERT
I'm sure there are several ways of unlocking your device
1)you can turn to legit paid services
2)you can look up for applications that allow for unlocking Z3x,Octopus/Octoplus, Samsung Firmware Tool etc
3)you can look up for local hardware/software repair shops that offer unlocking for phone's (usually coz they have expensive box)
When you have finally run out of options
4)if in your country its legal/allowed to change your device IMEI then get a working cert/efs for N910V

whats the problem then ?? im Lost

The problem can be your device being locked, your only hope is local marketplace or using a tool yourself but most of these applications ship with box and that is very costly there are cracked versions too with loader but obviously I am not at liberty to provide them on xda ,the other issue is most of these applications with loader wont have support for N910V because I check the one I have and thats the latest one I could grab ill check Samsung Professional Tool for you as well if it has N910V in device list
