J500fn no service - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I'm italian and sorry for my english.
My sister has a Galaxy J5 J500FN 6.0.1 brand H3G and I have to repair it.
The problem is:
-NO SIGNAL (prohibition symbol on status bar)
The Symptoms are:
-No calls. It says no network.
-No emergency calls! It says "turning on radio..." but close call and doesn't work
-IMEI is ok (in settings and with *#06#)
-Check online if my IMEI is locked, but it is ok
-In settings/device info/SIM Radio signal OFF

-In settings/mobile network/carriers (in italian is "Operatori di rete") Find Network doesn't start.
-In settings/mobile network/carriers (in italian is "Operatori di rete") Automatic selection doesn't start.
Resolution attempts:
-*#0011# ServiceMode, says NO SERVICE. I try a lot of solutions but nothing work (3 times back, 1, Q, 0000 doesn't work) MAIN MENU doesn't
appear. I don't find other keys online...
-Wipe cache
-Wipe data/factory reset
-flash with ODIN last firmware 6.0.1, same situation
-flash with ODIN last firmware 5.1.1, same situation
-root 5.1.1 with cf-autoroot, same situation.
-I've bought a new Antenna circuit from eBay (complete panel with chrome frame and camera lens)...correctly installed but doesn't work.

Try to install a custom rom, since data isn't a problem for you and since you already rooted it as I can see from the above. If you will succeed I think your sister would love more a custom rom to crapwiz

Did you test other sim in the phone?(can be a sim problem)
Did it this from the begining or it worked before?
The phone can be network locked and you need by a unlock code!?
You are the first owner or the phone is second hand?
A custom rom can be a fix but you should try to flash via ODIN a stock rom from other country for your phone tipe(j5ooFN)

Thanks for your replies
Answering you, I tried 3 different SIM cards from different carriers but same problem.
This is a phone bought new directly from my sister.
This problem appears suddenly when it was 5.1.1.
During my tests official 6.0.1 OTA update become but the problem remained.
I will try to install official ROM from other country
I will try to install a custom ROM... Do you recommend using a custom TW ROM or an AOSP ROM?

Try Lineage OS 13 by Koloses it's the most stable custom rom by now, but to install that you need to be on lollipop firmware 5.1.1 and to have the latest twrp 3.0.2 by nick verse, make all wipes except sdcard and usb-otg then flash rom and gapps and reboot

I downloaded all necessary files for these 2 attemps:
1. Official ROM for other countries, e.g. ITV and XEO (my current ROM are HUI)
2. Back to 5.1.1 then TWRP + Lineage OS 13 + Gapps
I will try!

After first boot I suggest you also to flash the add ons like kernel update, screen mirroring fix but first see if your phone works again

Ok thanks!
I just download also these files!

Maybe because you have to use H3G firmware only to get it to work but I don't know man

In all my previous attempts I have always used H3G firmware (HUI)
Now I was on 5.1.1 and as suggested I tried Lineage 13.
To have another time stock 6.0.1 TW I've only to wipe and flash with odin? I can try other country ROM...
If I give up and return the phone to my sister, at least the interface is the same as before my intervention and she does not panic
However, I thank you for your help!

What an irritating situation! Wish you make it mate

I am having the same issue with a galaxy j5 sm-j500g. Cannot turn on the radio. I think the issue was to flash the TWRP, because before that, the phone was working fine. I did exactly the same as you, did a software update and a downgrade, but it did not work. The only way that worked for me was doing this, (in this order):
1. Flash the latest firmware.
2. Flash the TWRP and root the phone.
3. Do a factory reset and clear the cache.
4. Flash an early version of the software (1st version of the 6.1 firmware)
It took like 30 minutes to boot the firts time, but my phone got signal. I was really happy but after 12 hours I got the same issue.. the same message: "no network connection".
I will try other ways and see if they work.

Hi and thank you for reporting your experience!
I Tried to flash 5.1.1, 6.0.1 several times but for me signal never start to work.
My sister told me that the first time he gave the problem, for a while it has come back to work and then it does not work anymore.
In my many network searches, I saw a Russian youtube video that shows how to heat up a little chip (2mm x 2mm) and re-sold it to reset the radio signal

did u fix it?? i have same prb

Hi, only solution for this problem, for me, was changing phone.... Changing only antenna chip doesn't solve problem...

Same problem here Bro. I flashed 5.1 and 6.0 tryed combination file, root, no signal at all, when try emergency call say " Trying turn radio on" Same situation, same problem and same sitiation: No solution!

My s5360L resets on standby

Hi, I need some help please. I have a S5360L that was bought to me by a friend in Venezuela about 2 months ago and since the beginning it restarts it self but always in standby, it never has restarted while I'm working on it, playing or whatever. It works flawlessly except for that problem so I was thinking maybe is a software problem. I did a hard reset and also try it without the sd card but still the same. Now it restarts about 3 times a day, perhaps a bit more than before. If you can help me please I will appreciate your help.
It's Unbranded.
Android version: 2.3.6
Band base version: s5360LUHKJ2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1
Compilation number: GINGERBREAD.UHKJ2
Can you Install another ROM? if occurs on other rom,its a hardware problem
Try to reflash stock rom via odin....
Press thanks if i helped u in anyway..
Well I was reading around the site other users experiences and I figured this is the next thing I could do, try reinstalling the stock rom, despite my current rom seems to be the last official samsung rom for the s5360L. But I don't wannted to do it without ask first, I'm a newbie and the last thing I want to do is brick my phone. I think the odin rom I need is "S5360L_UHKJ2_UUBKJ1_UHKJ2_by_Doky.zip", I downloaded earlier to be ready, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks
Almost done
Well let me tell you what I've been doing ...
I flashed S5360L_UHKJ2_UUBKJ1_UHKJ2_by_Doky which was the stock ROM but no change, so I give it a try with S5360_DXLC1_OLBLA1_DXLC1_by_Doky and guest what, it stops reseting. But with that came another issue, at first I thought I had no signal at all, and it was most of the time, but then I realize at moments I had a bit of signal in some places but that was it.
I figure it's because it's a ROM meant for Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam).
Then I flashed stock ROM S5360L_UHKJ2_UUBKJ1_UHKJ2 again, the signal went back to normal, but it restarted again I don't know why. So I was thinking maybe I could flash the DXLC1 ROM with the CSC from the other ROM which is from my region. But I don't know if they are compatible, in case they don't, could you please tell me which ROM can I mix with my CSC region so I can get my phone fully working.
I appreciate your help. Thanks
I need suggestions
Well, I decided to flash the DXLC1 with the UUBKJ1 CSC but I still have no signal, so I flash the DXLC1 with the UUBKJ1 CSC and the UHKJ2 MODEM and signal back to normal, so I had the hope I would solved my problem but it restarts again, it seems that the problem comes with the MODEM from my region, then I tried flash the S5360L_UHKL1_CHLKL1_UHKL1 ROM which has the same MODEM but more recently (dec 2011) and it keeps restarting,
I don't know what else to try, I suppose ROMs different from UH region will not make my network fully work since with DXLC1 ROM I had 1 bar occasionally. I have 2G only for what it's worth.
Please I need some help here ...
Solved
Well guys I'm happy to tell you that I flashed S5360B_UTLC2_ZTOLC1_UTLC1_by_Doky from Brasil and it worked, seems baseband from Brasil also work for my region, and this one doesn't get my phone restarted, so finally I have my phone working as it should. Although I don't know why UHKJ2 baseband which supposed to be for my region make my phone restart itself.
Anyway I'm glad I could solved my problem somehow ...
Thanks anyway.

[Q] Sound problem I9595 BlackEdition - Omega v33

Hello everybody,
i just put the a custom rom for the first time and i am actually really happy with this rom.

I tested it with the audio capture and it just sound messy.
Here are all the information:
Omega v33 - XXUGNF1

Modellnummer: GT-19505 Black Edition
Basisbandversion I9505XXUGNF1
Kernel:3.4.0-talexop-2+-gb4fe160-dirty
[email protected]#4
I just tried it with the 3.4.0-Adam-2.3, but it is not working, too.
Did i install something wrong?
So which kernel is the right one for me to get the sound problem fixed?

Hi ,
That problem most of the times is modem related , go Omega files /modem flash the same one again or upgrade it to the newest , follow instructions to do it
As shown in OP of Omega V33
Installation:
1. Backup your device (nadroid backup, titanium backup, efs backup ... etc) and save the backup to a safe place.
2. Flash the new bootloder and modems with odin
Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
If you already have the new Kit Kat bootloader there is no need to flash it again.
Modems XXUFNC9 -> I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems.tar
Power off device completely, then boot to download mode and flash bootloader (if needed) and modems with odin
Then boot to android and check if the new modem XXUFNC9 flashed ok (if wifi is not working is normal)
3. Boot to Recovery --recommended TWRP, get the latest version from here -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/182--
and flash Omega and then boot to android.
You can flash without full wipe if you are coming from a previous Omega Kit Kat version, if not then flash with full wipe
PLEASE FOLLOW THE EASY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ELSE YOU WILL HAVE VARIOUS ISSUES!
BACKUP FIRST !!

I Updated the baseband (GSM+LTE) to the newest I9505XXUGNF1, but i cant fix this microphone problem. It sounds like it is raining or something like the television where u cant get a programm.
I searched now about 5hours, but this is something i cant get fixed.
Please anyone here who can help with this issue?

No SIM Problem i9505

Hello I have a s4 i9505 phone and my problem is that sometimes (most of the times) doesn't seem to recognize the sim (it is inside) . Last night i installed the goldfinger ROM and it went good, i had no signal but the people could call me. This morning i tried to get rid of the signal problem too but i flashed the XXUGNE5 modem and now i don't have sim at all . My carrier is Vodafone , Spain. I tried everything , since this problem persist like a month ago when i changed my screen because it crashed. I changed too the hardware, the sim reader but no solution at all so my thoughts are that this is a software problem . Sorry 4 my bad English and thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: Sometimes i have no signal but the phone works , but after a certain time it says Sim card extracted , restart...
1. Do a full wipe in your custom recovery
2. Flash the latest stock rom.
3. If the problem is still there then it's a hardware problem.

[Q] SM G900 I Camera issues

Hello to erveryone,
since my last firmware update (over kies) i´ve got sincere camera issues on my G 900 I running Android 4.4.2.
As you can see it does have problems with colors and ghosting as well as it heavyly laggs.
When in turn HDR on/ off or change mode it seems to work normally again for some seconds and then crashes bag.
What i tried yet:
Upgrade to Android 5.0:
Camera works but Device does not store Wireless Passwords, so this cant be the solution yet
Try other Camera Apps, whipe cache, stop app
No difference at all.
Factory reset
No difference
Does anyone of you have any ideas or the same problem?

Try flashing the latest stock ROM for your model S5 from sammobile & use ODIN to flash it, then factory reset the new ROM

I tried that. But then my Wifi does not store any passwords.
Is it possible that all these problems are caused by wrong modem?
This is a SM G900I and im using a modem for a G900F (ANG2, KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANG2).
Unfortunately I dont know where to get the latest modem for the G900I.
As well my LTE is not working here in Germany.
If you get a stock ROM from sammobile dot com for your exact model S5, you should get the correct modem and everything designed for that S5

Okay, I did that. Within this step I upgraded to Android 5.0. My device did not store a single Wifi password, but the camera worked fine. Flashing back to stock 4.4.2 Wifi works fine, but the camera is broken!
Any Idea?
Sounds like Samsung need to fix some bugs
Maybe try a custom ROM, that way if you encounter any problems, you have direct contact with the dev to try and get it fixed

Need help with a galaxy s4 gt-i9505

Hi everyone,
just a long-time forum-lurker in the dark here, now I'm here asking for help to restore my galaxy s4.
Here's the story:
gt-i9505 no brand, italian official firmware 4.4.4 (kitkat), never updated, only used towelroot to gain rood adn unistall couple of unused apps.
everything worked fine
Then i decided to upgrade to lollipop.
downloaded last samsung lollipop rom for my phone from sammobile, made a full backup via TWRP Recovery, and installed lollipop via Odin.
Then the nightmare begun :
1st problem, no modem, no connection, only wifi, i restored EFS, still not working, reinstalled modem via odin and then i got my imei and connection again.
2) think i've tried to change the rom to a custom downloaded here (i don't even remember the name), then i tried couple other roms.
this as far as i remember
Now the phone has a samsung original lollipop rom, wifi won't turn on, data not working, knox status is obviously altered (so i cannot restore it via kies or whatever the software name is now) BUT It overheats a lot after few minutes and i'm forced to shut it off to not damage it.
I'd like to restore it to a full working condition, i think i've messed up with bootloaders, modems and roms from different android versions.
can anyone help ?
Current status is

Hey, @dokrobei
Take a look on my Guide.
You need the guide clean install from the scratch. Please read it carefully till the end. There avaible links with all necessary stuff like modem/bootloaders/stock rom-firmware/recommend customs roms etc.
Hi @Retrial, thanks for the answer..
I've managed to reinstall stock KitKat 4.4.2 and working modem drivers, following another tutorial here. Now Wi-Fi, 3g and bt works fine, BUT the phone overheats a lot. It's not a battery problem and sure it's software related 'cause it wasn't like this before my stupid first attempt to upgrade to lollipop.
I've searched the forum for the overtheating near the flash zone problem, some say that is a microsd problem (wich I removed), some other that's a battery problem (wich is not in my case).
Do you think I should start from scratch again following your guide? IHow do I know wich modem / bootloader is right for my phone? I think the problem is there, maybe wrong modem version..

First of all there is no need to still be on KitKat...a lot of apps don't support Kitkat nowdays...and is outdated.
I will recommend first to proper upgrade to Lollipop stock and then use some of the latest android Pie Custom JDC Roms by following my complete guide. As I said above there is a full guide with links and very well explained steps. The latest Firmware for our S4 i9505 is QK1 - No matter which country you will choose, and it's recommened to have the latest. Just read it carefully till the end and check the asterisks.
The overheating it may be no compatible Modem/Bootloader since you messed up with Lollipop. To check what Modem and Bootloder you can simply install "Device HW Info" or "Phone Info" app and check.
Let me know how it goes, and if you have any question or problem feel free to ask. Good Luck :fingers-crossed:

it started overheating as soon as i tuned on wifi. i only managed to install phoneinfo to check wich modem i have as you suggested, then i had to turn the phone off it off cause it became reeally hot and i thought i could break it. modem chip is "mdm9215m". any suggestion? maybe i should try to instale all the lollipop modems / bootloaders from your post...

After every flash the device become hot. Let the rom settle for a while.
If you have PK2 Firmware then you need PK2 Modem and Bootloader. So no, don't try other modem/bootloader.

I flashed it last night and checked if it was working this morning. I'm sure the high temps are not related to the usage or to the battery. It become hot eachtime i turn on wifi. Havent tried with data but I think it will be the same thing.
