[Q] Not registered on network N900 HK

Hi There
I am currently on Dr.Ketan's K9 but my problems started after updating to K8. As soon as i tried to call out when I was in China I got this not registered on network and then I just went back into aroma and changed modem to Russia and all was fine, the phone worked but now I will be in Sweden for two mounts and when I came here I got the same problem again so I tried to change modem which did not help this time.
I read in many forums to try to solve this but no luck. Next step was going back to stock rom 4.4.2 TGY Hongkong where the phone is from but no luck there either. I also tried the codes that should solve soft brick but same result. The only thing that I found is that the IMIE is 04999010640000/01 and that is not what it says on the label on the phone. Can this be the problem or is there anyone that can help with some advise?

I am facing similar issue. Please help. Note 2. I tried installing v3 of Dr.Ketan ROM

Password being asked after installing ROM on Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hey everyone
I am facing a problem on my sister's Samsung Galaxy Note 3. She was facing a problem with the phone and what I did was installed a new rom on the phone. Earlier on it was Android 4.3 or 4.4.2 I think but I installed Android 5.0. I was told that the data has to remain on the device. Also the Developer option is not available. So after installing the rom when I switched on the phone, it is asking for a password whereas earlier on it used to ask for a Pin. I tried Google account password, I tried Samsung account password, I tried random passwords also like Samsung123 or [email protected] and such but nothing worked.
I tried different ROMs from different countries but to no avail. I tried installing 4.4.2 again but even that didnt help.
Any way anyone can help me with this? I am not permitted to format the device as she wants the data on the phone but then if nothing works it is the last resort and I have to do it soon as she lives in Germany and is going back in about 10 to 12 days so do also tell me if I need to take this to Samsung Service center or not.
Thanks in advance for helping.

Keep in mind to provide some more information in your thread like , the exact model version , ( NEO , t-mobile ...etc ) , the place where the password kicks in , the exact rom you tried to install
Now I will move your thread to the dedicated forum , let`s wait for more users with a similar device to reply , thank you !

Got a new vibe, has Vibe UI v2 installed. Can I get stock?

Hi all,
My old vibe died and couldnt find a better phone on the market since 2015 so got a new one. However I dont know what the heck is installed on this one.
I have never rooted before but have a cs degree so im not out my league. With the details in the image below, do you know what I can do to get stock installed?
The phone has a trojan application called fun weather and i cant remove it. Have done everything from root access to hard deleted. But as soon as i get wifi again it downloads. Are all custom roms like this so the developer can make cash? I also dont know if this is ROW or China. It has google services installed.
VERSION AND DETAILS SCREENSHOT HERE (2K image here fills the whole browser.)

Maybe this was one of the early firmware. Lenovo has given 5.0 to this mobile. Why didn't you try to update it?

Help please... Note 3 n9005 BTU doesn't detect my network operator after flashing

Hi guys,
At the beginning thank you for taking a look and spending your time reading it - I'm just trying to be precise.
Just to clarify - I've spent 11 hours yesterday and 10 hours (and counting) today reading and browsing XDA and different forums, searching/figuring out/trying to find solution,
but I think I gave up on my own and will need your help.
Few days ago I bought myself another same Note 3 SM-N9005 (primarily locked to EE, but unlocked with provider), as my old one (which was factory unlocked).
I had issues with signal (after slight water damage a year ago) - not major, but annoying enough to make me get another one.
So I switched to new Note 3 and decided to check new custom ROMs on my old one.
First I installed stock 5.0 - all worked fine, battery life improved etc.
Then tried Fougat rom and AryaMod - and here the problems began. While using one of those ROMs I inserted Polish SIM card.
Message appeared that I'm on roaming, to switch it on/off etc (don't remember what message exactly appeared as I didn't really pay much attention to it at that time)
I recently ordered new pay monthly Virgin SIM card for my partner. When it arrived I've put it in my old Note 3 and "Emergency calls only" message appeared.
I thought SIM wasn't active yet, so contacted Virgin just to be informed that the card is active on their end (I've put it in my new Note 3 and it was actually working).
A bit confused I put my O2 card into old Note 3 and it connected to the network without any problems.
So I started searching for a solution.
I found out that when I searched other networks on my (modified, old) Note 3 it only found O2 - UK, vodafone UK and 3UK.
I checked the same on my new Note 3 and it found O2, vodafone, EE (whose towers Virgin uses) and 3 UK - so all of them.
I thought that maybe EFS, modem, kernel or bootloader have been corrupted/conflicting, so made TWRP backup of my new Note 3 and old Note 3 (for old just to create serial number folder).
Then I replaced old Note 3 backup with new one, so TWRP could find it and restore the whole image from new Note 3, where everything works (Lollipop EE network version).
That didn't do the trick. Restored AryaMod backup - nothing. Old device still comes with "Emergency calls only" when Virgin SIM card is inserted, but it works with O2 card.
I tried different modems, bootloaders.
I checked the IMEI and it's intact.
At the moment I'm back to Stock Lollipop 5.0 [N9005XXSGBPL6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU] and the problem still persists.
When I flashed the stock ROM and inserted Virgin SIM standard pop-up window appeared with network selection where I've chosen obviously Virgin.
When searching now for available networks it comes up again with only O2, Vodafone and 3 - no EE/Virgin.
For some reason it doesn't find/connect to EE towers.
Baseband: N9005XXUGBOJ1
Kernel: 3.4.0-4540543
Build Number: LRX21V.N9005XXSGBPL6
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network Type: Unknown
Service State: Voice: Out of service/Data: Out of service
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Thanks for reading and apologies for long post.
If I missed anything please let me know.
Hope you guys will be able to help and direct me what to do to get it working again

Very difficult to follow your rambling post .
Step one is IMEI the right one .
Two correct baseband and CSC for your network ??

Sorry, I know it's long and quite rambling. I'll start new thread with just quick explanation.
Answering your question - yes, tried different modems and used EE and BTU firmwares.
Phone was bought factory unlocked (new), so BTU version should work, but it doesn't.

Who is mod in here? Sorry, not very experienced in forum.

Thread can be closed - phone after couple of days eventually connected to the network itself. Weird.

Samsung Note 3 N9005 CAMERA FAILED error and more

Dear Team, good afternoon,
I'm a 42 years old daddy, in love with Linux and doitbyyourself stuff!
My last message in a forum was probably more than 15 years ago, but this issue is driving me crazy.
Background: few time in the past I flashed, rooted some samsung devices, but honestly speaking I had no mood to learn anything more than that.
Few weeks ago I was tempted to install Lineage17.1 on my SM N9005 ( NOTE 3 Samsung)
and everything went smooth. The day after I realized the front camera was not working,
giving me a generic CAMERA FAILED error, crashing almost immediately or freezing my screen with a dark screen for few seconds.
Tried few classic solutions ( reboot, wipe,clear cache, full reboot removing battery) as suggested on this forum and on the web, but no luck. Not even other app like OPENCAM etc..
I decided to go back to stock and installed Lollipop. Surprise, no camera again
Probably odin problem or corrupted rom, so I tried I think not less than 5 more stock rom ( brand, no brand, etc) Never had the camera back.
I even tried to go back to original kitkat same error.
Being the camera the only broken/faulty hardware, I decided to by a new one.
No luck again...
Is there anything I am missing? Is it ever possible I'm the only one with this problem?
What would you do to investigate/solve this issue? Can you please help me
at least pointing me where to look for a solution?
For the moment I'm back to this firmware. Before wiping and trying something different
I thought I could ask to your advice
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3
Country Singapore (XSP)
Version Android 4.4.2
PDA N9005DXUGNK1
CSC N9005OLCGNH1
Thanks for your time!
