Restore to stock however no wifi or cell

I purchased a note 3. The previous owner modified the phone (rooted) and screwed up the whole thing there was not wifi or cellular. Checked the firmware and it said custom. I figured I could reset the phone to stock and use it normally. I located the firmware from sam mobile and flashed through Odin. The flash went of no errors ( so I believe I picked the right firmware however still no wifi and I get the not registered on network when I put in my SIM card? Shouldn't the appropriate kernels and modem be installed with the stock firmware? Checked the imei number is appears ok however the software shows a different number than the sticker on the back of the phone. At this point I am out of ideas. Has any one ever experienced this?

[Q] [Issue] Stuck in a weird situation of trying unlock i337m

Before you judge me by saying how i'm posting something thats done before, it hasn't, I've searched everywhere no methods work
Please, someone help me I've been at this for 4 days now and maybe just 15 hours of sleep :crying:.
The phone I have right now is the SGH-i337m Galaxy s4 running NC1 with MDJ modem (Kitkat 4.4.2) Does not detect sim, it says "No sim available".
I'm not exactly sure if the phone is from Bell but the phone use to be running fine on my old rogers sim card until I updated to their new ShareTap Sim.
With the ShareTap Sim the phone doesn't detect my sim anymore. So I tried my Share Tap Sim in another unlocked phone (Galaxy note 3) it worked fine.
Then I tried a Virgin mobile sim card on the S4 and it detected it and worked fine also. So then I tried to unlock it by flashing it with many different methods:
1. I tried flashing a older version of Bell 4.2.2 but it bricked my phone ( I already unbricked it back to 4.4.2)
2. I tried flashing the MDJ modem but it doesn't show the hidden menu.
3. I tried flashing ATT modem to try it but that also bricked my phone.
4. I tried to use the AWS tutorial shown here
5. I tried the regionlock away tutorial here in the third method (RegionlockAway doesnt do anything to my phone)
6. I pulled the modem.bin from the TAR file from sammobile of Bell's 4.2.2. But it still doesn't show the hidden menu! It's the MDJ modem but it still doesn't work!
I'm not sure whats wrong with my phone. When I put the Virgin mobile sim card in there it only shows Telus, EXT and Virgin Sim networks available not the whole spectrum which is what is supposed to happen with the 337_aws.qcn file from the AWS tutorial. Then when I flash MDJ modem from bell or the one from this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2m3id2cx4l...37MVLUAMDJ.zip
It still doesn't show my secret menu.
The secret menu I'm trying to access is the *#0011# but if that didn't work I also tried the *#9090# It still doesn't show the secret menu. So what do I do now? Please Help!
Thanks for reading!

Sorry to hear that, but you are in the same situation i was, the phone was probably sim-unlocked by Box Software, like Octopus or Z3X Boxes as i did, the phone won't recognize some sim cards by unknown reasons, there is no fix avaliable for this as i changed imei, tried different NVM from other phone & even replacing sim card reader. i finally sold it & got myself a i337m unlocked via code.
Edit:
forgot to mention, My SIM stopped being recognized when i upgraded it to a newer LTE version
Kind regards.

Have you tried stock NC1 with the included modem? If the device is unlocked, you might have better success with SIM recognition. In my case, my device was not unlocked, so I Odin flashed stock Telus MDJ, then rooted with CF-Auto-Root, unlocked with RegionlockAway (KNOX tripped), and applied the AWS Mod.
Then I flashed stock NC1 with the incl. modem (root gone), and managed to get Rogers LTE and Wind H+ on the Telus device. From there, I OTA updated, and rooted with CF-Auto-Root, flashed TWRP, and worked my way to 5.0.1. Trust me I know how frustrating this can be, but thanks to this forum, there was a solution. Here's what worked for me (link). Good luck.

Can anyone help? SIM not recognised

After unrooting my gt i9500 with stock rom 4.4.2 my sim is not recognised. (Insert SIM) is displayed. I rebooted several times but it is not fixed. can someone help...please???

can you check if you have imei and basseband by going : Settings, About Phone?
if you have baseband and imei then your sim card reader is broken, if you dont have those then you did not flashed correct files for your phone.

IMEI is null and baseband is unknown...can you help me further???

you need to flash the stock firmware from kies or you need the correct modem to flash via odin. search on xda for it.

SM-N9005 problem: How screwed Am I?

Hi I'm looking desperately for help with these 2 major isssues, any advice will be much appreciated.
I recently bought this phone SM-N9005 and worked perfectly until I realized my gps doesn't work properly. After a brief research I discovered a youtube guide with positive responses so I gave it a shot. =hC8jNb38gaY . This included ServideMod digging via *#9090# -> insert Q -> insert 0000 -> UE settings -> setting -> system -> NV rebuild -> ALL . After that my sim card was no more functional just as any other I then tried. So this is my first major problem:
1) INVALID SIM CARD The sim card was doing just fine before that and is still doing when put into other devices, but no matter which sim card I try the problem still persists. So I tried factory resets, loading different firmwares... which led to problem:
2) CAN'T LOAD DIFFERENT FIRMWARE I think I was doing all accordingly to guides but still can't force my phone with different firmware. I got it rooted, and everytime I try to use Odin it just gets stuck at "Complete write" fail or FAIL Auth.
The only firmware I could load into it was the early leak of loli 5.0 N9005XXUGBNL8 . I then tried several of them so I could use for example AryaMod (which gets always stuck shortly after start of the installation - i think because i cant load demanded firmware) but to no avail. The so far tried firmwares were the stock ones;
N9005XXUGBOJ6_N9005XEOGBOJ1_N9005XXUGBOJ1_HOME.tar
N9005ZSUGOH3_N9005OZSGOH3_N9005ZSUGOH3_HOME.tar
N9005XXUGBOI6_N9005ETLGBOA2_N9005XXUGBOH1_HOME.tar
N9005XXUGBOI6_N9005O2CGBOF2_N9005XXUGBOH1_HOME.tar
And the only working is the one mentioned above from early loli 5.0 leak : BL_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar, which I currently have. Any other attempt to load meets with the same failure. I tried different versions of Odin, starting them as admin, different usb ports, wiping before, rooting it but just can't load any other. : /
So finally I'd like to ask: Is there any way to revert damages I did by doing that ServiceMod thingy? To get rid of that INVALID SIM CARD notice? I'd like to do it myself if possible.
And secondly, why can't I get any other firmware working? Is it wrong choice of firmware not compatibile with my phone or I just overlooked something during installation?
If you reached it all the way here, thank you. Please share any advices you might have.
Oh btw this is from *#1234# if its of any help : AP: N9005XXUGBNL8 CP: N900PVPUEOC5

What is the model number in download mode? Does the imei in the phone match the imei on the label under the battery?

Looks like wrong firmware flashed .
N900PVPUEOC5

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...Well this is odd, the model number is everywhere stated as N9005 but in download mode it's N900P !
The mei number matches but it's short of one last number. The mei in back has 14 digits and in system 15.

Hey,
I got the same issue a few months ago,
It was the "pin" behind the cover that didn't reach for the antenna on the other side
This crappy video helped me a lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUsXU28IDdM

Update: I just discovered I can only install the N900P firmware so right now the both AP and CP is N900PVPUEOK2.
But the firmware selection for 900P seems rather limited to USA region. Back then I had czech (maybe european version with czech language?) version.
Info about phone now says my phone is N900P even though my phone is 9005 and so was the firmware for it.

Basabeband corrupted

Hi guys, i have a xt1626.
And for some reason last night I lost my network signal and SIM 2 status.
Well... I made a factory reset and flashed lastest stock rom (december 2017).
But it still not work.
SIM 1 is working IMEI is correct. but no signal. Only showing "No Service". SIM 2 is missing.
When I see baseband it shows lastest baseband but not with "DSTV RET_BR..." on final. It show "DFLT_FSG".
I flash modem, install others rom (custom) but nothing works.
There is a chance that make it working again?

Are you sure you have flashed the correct version of stock rom.??? This happened to me only when I flashed the ROM for another variant!

I flash this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
After some google search I found the problem.
The mobile radio is not turning on. Like if the phone still in airplane mode.
i don't know what i have to do. No looks like HW problem cause sim card is recognized
There is a place wich i found specific firmware for xt1626?
firmware.center only have universal firmware.

That link doesn't have the firmware for 1626.. there was a file factory link that had all the variants stock ROMs.. So if you find any nougat version you can flash that barring bootloader and gpt.bin as downgrading them will result in a brick! And then take OTA!
