[Q] no LTE in Belgium with csc n9005phnena2 ap n9005xxuena6

Hello there.
I'm sorry if I haven't used the search engine right but I couldn't find a thread similar or answering my question.
I bought my phone, the note 3 in the Netherlands. It is an unbranded phone(phn) as far as I know.
But I am living in belgium. And for some reason I can't get my 4g to work with the Base operator.
Or with any other operators. For some reason there is no LTE option available in the network settings.
Now I have been searching on Google and went to some stores and compared my csc and ap version to the note 3 working on lte on the same network in the stores. And I saw with every note 3 in the stores that the ap version was ap n9005xxuena7 and mine is n9005xxuena6.
How come my unbranded phone with csc n9005phnena2 is not getting the update that let's me use 4g?
At least that is what I think?
After previewing the post, I noticed I have to update my signature. ..

Your carrier probably hasn't enabled it on your line.
Ring them up

I doubt that. They informed me about 4g them selves and the Sim they gave me had a small picture of 4g(lte) and 3 dual carrier on it.

Have you tried a factory reset?
I had a similar problem with my btu uk device after flashing the Polish na6 official firmware. Very unreliable mobile data connectity and went to 4g very rarely.
I didn't factory reset but instead flashed a custom rom (also based on na6) which fixed the problem completely.
I'd suggest factory reset first to see if that helps.

I don't know about Base, but with Proximus, you really have to call the customer service to ask them to activate the 4g for you. Did you try that?

I have a cheap abo with Proximus and have 4G on my note 3.
I don't have to do a thing about it so you don't have to call them its already activated for every abo.

I don't think it is operator related. Because my Sim works on my mother's s4 perfect.
I guess it is the update that is necessary to activate 4g on unbranded phones.

I can't say what's wrong with BASE, maybe they haven't enabled 4G towers yet...I'm on XL from Proximus and I get LTE all over Vlaanderen.
Well, try to flash some of the Polish 4.4.2 available all over XDA. My Note was also bought from Belsimpel but never had any issues with 4g--->with the latest NB3 (OTA) there's no more 4G sign...it's LTE.

Kies Backup works just fine...

Not every provider has 4G enabled in every CSC version. I get this question about 12 times a day on the T-Mobile NL forums.
I had 4G on DBT with T-Mobile NL two months before the T-Mobile NL Branded and PHN versions had it.
Resetting won't make a difference. This needs to be toggled in the firmware itself by Samsung. On most other devices you can use the *#*#4636#*#* or *#2263# dialer code to manually force the network mode, but they disabled it on the Note 3.

Thank you. You confirmed what I assumed was the problem.
I already have tried viaero. All I get is a black screen. No selectable option or toggle button. Nothing but a black screen. So I have to wait for an update or put a custom rom on it?
And is it possible to backup app settings? Like I dont have to configure Yatse again and Xbmc?
I am a noob with flashing custom roms and rooting.
Thank you.

call Base , tell them to activate it . Mobile Viking uses the base network and they had to phone base to activate G4 for my number.
up till few weeks a go you neded to make a call for proximus aswell but that changed because of the promoting of 4G action that is running for 6 months

No need to flash a customROM. If another official ROM has 4G enabled for our provider, you could flash that over PHN. No rooting, no knox triggering, no warranty issues. The only issue you might run into is that nonsense people have recently been getting flashing over PHN with the filesize.
NA6 is the most recent firmware for PHN. Could you go check in the stores what CSC version the devices are using that do have 4G on your provider? To my knowledge NA7 is a provider-specific version limited to T-Mobile and daughter-companies.

Thank you... Again.
I have been searching on Google for people having the same problem. I found someone posting his csc version and for this guy is the 4g working with the Ota update he got.
His csc version was N9005OXXDMJ4.
I'm also going to the store tomorrow to look it up.

Actually, that's XEF. France Unbranded. (It could also be romania, but XEF is more common. Also, they tend to sell XEF in most open stores here in the benelux.)

your mobile may flash with super with super imei, so while firmware update imei changed, did you purchased from authorised dealer in Hong Kong? Or threw online? If on line u may need to go mobile repair shop.

I bought it online. but in 100 km I can't find any samsung repair stores. There seems no samsung customer service center in Norway.

Samsung service center is not necessary, search for mobile repair shop near to you.

Its Region Locked to Hong Kong. That means it will only register on a network around Hong Kong territory. You will need to get a Region Unlock from Samsung to use it in Norway. On the side of the box it should have listed the countries your note 3 well work in. If norway was not listed then you can not register on any network in Norway. Contact Samsung

If u read op write about his phone imei number got changed after update, his phone may flashed with super imei for unlock region lock by seller.

Hi, i had been using this phone in Norway from January without any problem. The problem appeared only a couple days ago after I updated some features. And later I couldn't make calls but I can get access the 4g internet using facebook or hangout, and surfing internet. I purchaced a 4g data package from telenor.
the imei has changed since I flash the stock rom from sammobile. now still I cannot call but can surf the internet.

previous rom was 4.3, Hongkong. sorry I can't remember the exact info of the rom. I just left it not updated since I bought it in January.
The updates were some features, but not the system update. the version remained 4.3.
After the update I tried to flash a latest stock rom from sammobile to see if that would fix it, but still failed.

You should not flash modem randomly as it may brick your device.
As you device is HK version and the above modem is for N9005 International version, that modem is not fit for your device.
Didn't you have any IMEI backup?
If you don't have any IMEI backup, try to reflash the stock firmware for HK (not international one, as these versions have different PIT structures).

You cant just flash anything you find on Sammobile and expect for it to run perfectly. region locked or not. Because your phone was from Hong Kong you need to flash Hong Kong only firmwares nothing more nothing less. Flashing something not made for your region will change the IMEI. My friends did the same thing and his was also Hong Kong model. Tried everything to get it back but its pretty useless with out an EFS backup in hand.
Someone mentioned if you flash the original Firmware that came with the phone for the region it was made for it well bring your IMEI back. Give that a try. Give this a try.

I have HongKong N9005 32GB too..
I didn't know anything about different partition so I flashed 4.4 from UK. And Soft Bricked my phone.
Then I used PIT file for international version and All the roms worked but Unknown baseband and Null IMEI.
Then I flashed UK rom and then Flashed modem from my previous android version.
That means, 4.3 version modem on 4.4.2 and baseband came back.
Repairing baseband is the very first step in repairing IMEI and network problems.

[Q] Lollipop Galaxy S5

Hello guys...
I am waiting for the Lollipop update on my galaxy S5 for months now and till date nothing has happened. Above all there's only about 10 variants of the SM-G900F which are actually in this situation actually out of 100s. I decided to flash it on my own using ODIN. Please can anyone who is more at ease with the process than me give me the procedure to do so ( I have flashed custom roms on other phones in the past).
I would also appreciate if you could give me a direct download link for the OS if ever you have it. I had seen them in this forum once but forgot where and which keywords to type.
And also and most importantly could you advise me about which versions will be compatible with my country's networks i.e Mauritius.

No network

Hi everybody,
Here is my problem, suddenly my S6 edge did not want to connect to the SFR network or any other, so I sent in warranty but this diagnostic software problem and I am returning due to oxidation (he never touched the water, can be steam).
After that we returned to me in Binary Factory, with no more firmware on the device. In this mode, which is useful only for testing, it was connecting well SFR network.
Then blocked with my phone so I installed the following ROM: G925FXXU3COI9 France (XEF) - Android 5.1.1 Lollipop - (September 2015).
I can finally refill my phone but no different, he still wants more connect to the network ...
If it helps you Phone Info tells me this:

So I tried the recovery mode:

reboot your device
And finally my IMEI is the same as the original one.
If anyone could help me.
Thank you guys.

If you cant get internet connection, it also could be related with your carrier provider's apn settings and etc. too~ I hope you already set them properly.
