Problem Since Rooting - Unable to Dial Out or Receive Calls

Ive been unable to dial out or receive calls on my note 3 since rooting it. I have tried everything I can think of to get it resolved but have been unable to do it. This is not a problem with my mobile phone provider as I have tried my friends sims and they dont work either. I have installed the stock rom and reset factory defaults but I am still unable to use it.
I will pay someone to fix this for me now as it has now gotten out of hand! I have sent it to samsung and they say the device has been rooted and will not touch it! Any help would be much appreciated!!
Many thanks
Andy
P.s. If you can fix it, I will pay!!

Did you lose your IMEI after rooting? Or can you still register on your network? Also did you trip knox by rooting your phone?

Please help. My network doesn't work on custom rom but works on official firmware.

Thanks for your reply Steven1962. The IMEI Number is still intact though I am not able to register on the network. I did trip knox when I rooted my device, I just sent it to samsung for repair and they wouldn't touch it as the knox was tripped.

So if I understand correctly you are prompted to enter your PIN after reboot but you still can't register on your network even though the PIN gets accepted?

I am not actually asked for a PIN. I do believe it registers to the network as it says im conected to Virgin, I just cant dial out or receive calls.

I think if it doesn't ask for a PIN it can not really register to the network. What firmware are you on currently? What's the version of your modem?

Flash last stock from your country with Odin ....

Yes, check your baseband version.
And flash the stock firmware for your device may help.

Apologies for the late reply, I have been waiting for my phone to come back from Samsung. How do I know which baseband version I need for my phone?

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get info about your device (CSC, baseband, etc...)
Then open Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download the stock firmware for your device.
You can flash full firmware, or extract the baseband (modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin) and flash them separately.

Hi everyone,
vndnguyen, I'll address this question to you but hopefully help the original poster too.
I ran firmware browser in the above app but neither the vodafone nor btu (does btu mean unbranded?) version match my device. My bootloader, baseband and pda all end NC2 and my csc NA4. Even on Sammobile I cannot find that.
So my question is does it matter which one I install? If I install any vodafone uk offering will I be ok? If I install any uk btu version will it just be stock minus the bloat?
I've tried a few custom roms but always seem to head back to stock so wanted to flash pure stock if that makes any sense.

SM-G530T1 Stock Firmware/Kernel

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for the SM-G530T1? I've looked and have not been able to find it.
Edit: It would be possible to get the firmware using the IMEI number in SmartSwitch. Unfortunately I and another are unable to access our IMEI number from the settings in the phone since our phones are bricked. We'll need someone else with the phone to take care of that. It would be tremendously appreciated!

@Yu_San @silentgumm
If we have a working SM-G530T1 we can get the IMEI from the phone and then use the Smartswitch to get the firmware....

I'll see if that works. Thank you for the info.
Edit: Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I found my IMEI number using the method described by Eker. Also, the IMEI number is on the sticker behind the battery but it doesn't say it's the IMEI number, so now we know that. It's the number above the long bar code with the slashes in it.
The bad news is that SmartSwitch says the device is unsupported and when picking "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization" from the "MORE" menu at the top, nothing appears in the first tab and in the second tab, entering the phone model (SM-G530T1) brings up a new box asking for a serial number. I entered the IMEI number (with and without the slashes) but it says the serial number entered is not corrected. Same thing using Samsung Kies 2 & 3.
I don't know what to do

Just chatted with someone from Samsung and they said the firmware will not be available online. I'm not sure if they ever officially provide firmware to begin with though, so that may or may not be news. I guess the only way to get it is if someone else unofficially provides it...

Even with serial number it wont be possible, smart switch just closes with serial number. Looks like samsung doesn't support smart switch recovery for this device.

******Please tell me wich is the real orgin/csc/region of this phone.(to flash correct firmware)*******

Hi,
Edit your post and remove your IMEI and S/N. Just in case to protect your device from illegal tampering or any illegal things.
Where country did you live in? Could you check your phone box for CSC code? It looks like this: GT-I9500ZWAXSE or anything similar.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD

Your original CSC according to IMEI is XST
Model number is GT-I9505ZKAXST

Enter the IMEI and it should return the original CSC, which will be the last three letters of the model number, e.g. O2U in I9505ZKAO2U.

Install this APP and it will give you all the info you need about your device.

@Joku1981: He was trying to discover the original CSC/country code the phone was sold under, which is why he needed to parse the IMEI. Phone Info wouldn't help in this instance because it reports the CSC/country code of the currently installed ROM.

In this case, he lost his IMEI because he has flashed other modem and needs the original CSC code. So, Phone Info will useless.

Follow the link of Strephon Alkhalikoi.

Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.

Carrier apps are still on phone

Hey everyone! I have probably a simple problem that I can't seem to figure out, so I'll ask the people of XDA.
So recently I had a network locked phone (to Fido) that also had some carrier stuff (ex. I can't uninstall spotify), so I got the network unlock code, put it in, it worked, now I can put any SIM in. Great!
Now I decide to flash the stock firmware for the Canadian variant (G935W8) to get rid of that bloatware. So I went over to XDA, downloaded the carrier free version (product code: XAC) and flashed it using Odin.
I placed the BL, AP, CSC, and CP files in the corresponding spots in Odin. It worked! I got a PASS. But, when I went to check my phone, an example app that I can't remove is spotify. Is anyone able to help me out, and explain why there are carrier apps still on my phone even after flashing the carrier free version? It'd be nice if I could also have a way to get rid of those apps. Thanks to anyone!!

Even in some stock unbranded roms they have apps like that,so if ur not rooted ,and u can't disable it ,try package disabler pro.

Hmm. But I thought apps like Spotify, fido app zone, etc were not preinstalled apps on the s7 stock ROM. And I've also seen friends who had the ability to remove Spotify, and they were using a wind mobile phone.

Then you'll get a list of CSC codes. I see the XAC one, so I will choose that.

Samsung Pay Works but Wifi Calling and Video Calling Does Not

this odin writes to userdata? So it allows full carrier switch? That's huge if true

so how does this work when its time to get an ota update? do you need to flash back to att and then flash to the unlocked equivalent or can you just take unlocked ota's to update the phone?

You do not have to ODIN back. It will update normally. It was pulled from a US Cellular Device which was sold unlocked. I have the Canada version also with the built in Caller ID to identify unknown numbers with the Samsung Smart Call feature. and you do not have to program the APN. Yall let me know if you want me to upload it along with instructions.

I have the Verizon variant and downloaded the Canadian version, and flashed that over completely the regular CSC, not the home_CSC. This was using the prince comsey or whatever version of Odin, and I let it reboot after. During the setup I did the same thing the other guy mentioned where you only set a pin, and select yes to boot the device with your pin. Once I got through the setup I turned on dev mode, and flashed my stock FW, which was Verizon. I selected all files and chose the home_csc from the Verizon package along with the VZW AP, BL and CP files.
Flashed them all over and let the device reboot. Once it turned on it took a minute or so to get LTE and service in general but it worked.

Thanks so much for this! Just for clarification the Unlocked US Cellular version does not have Smart Call only the Canadian version does or am I reading it wrong? Just trying to figure out the difference and which one would be best for my G955U.
Thanks!

The Canadian one is the one with Smart Call

So this makes an att phone unlocked to any carrier?
So it makes it be just like this :

I have not tried it on Sprint or Verizon I know it works on AT&T. i have ran both firmwares on My AT&T S8+ With no issues
As stated using the proper ODIN is important

Same thing happened to me. Successfully flashed but when it boots it still is an AT&T. I have the AT&T version and tried the home csc. Everything passes but it doesn't work for me. Weird

I'm on AT&T and wondering which one is better to flash. Is the only difference between us unlocked and canada firmwares the smart call feature?

Just an update but I tried the Canadian one on my device using the home.csc. Notice it does not have a UMS. It worked! The Canadian version is super clean! I am on AT&T, besides for the known things like wifi calling. Are we missing anything by not using the US Cellular version?
Thanks again, it just seems like the US cellular version wouldn't take for me but I am now happy and bloatware free.

They both will work the same. On the US Cellular version I think you have to program the APN and it does not have the smart call feature. The Canadian version does

yes the smart call feature is the only difference is the smart call feature. there is no need to install 3rd party software to get caller Id for unknowns and it still detects spam
