Not in this topic I had written. But as I wrote something that could help it - maybe you should do factory reset ??
Region?
Did you obtain the working handset from the same nation as the handset with the problem?
Which nation are you trying to connect from?

I'm having the same issue but, for what it seems, it should be a config file... try posting the question in the Ace-i's forum.. at least it's the same family model as the Ace-M (which I also own).
Maybe it has to do with CSC...

already post question but no one answered it
In case anyone is facing this issue, I resolved it by flashing an S5830C's NVRAM, it has to do with the NVRAM which contains the actual baseband (800/900/1800/1900 etc..), you can find it in the Bootloader package:

Hi, the file is in 7z because it's a whole firmware, but to fix the 3g issue in a S5830C/M you must use ONLY the Bootloader part of the flash, you'll know it because the tar part corresponding to it, has a file inside named like "HEDGE_NVRAM" and something else :silly: make sure to use the PIT corresponding to the cooperve, which you can find in the tutorial by @feetsonfire about how to recover from a brick.
Try first with Odin V3 1.84 if it doesn't work, try it with Odin V3 3.07.
There is no need for doing anything else! No recovery nor anything else related to it, just what I exposed in my post!

Hi all,
I've had my phone locked on Tele2 (CRO) network which I needed to unlock to be able to use T-mobile SIM. I've used Odin 3.04 and followed the instructions to update modem to I9505XXUFNB9. I've managed to unlock the network this way and use my new SIM but the connection (both phone and mobile data) kept switching on and off constantly.
After that I've tried another firmware, namely I9505XXUFNDG for T-mobile but the problem now is that mobile is almost always off with no possiblity to connect and WiFi is blocked completely (security notification "Your device's security has blocked an action").
Basebands registered properly after every flash.
Phone is not rooted and me not being a power user would just love it to work as it was intended to
Followed the guide, all firmwares downloaded from here
Appreciate any help.
Might be onto something. After reading through this post seems I need to apply WiFi fix but I cannot tell which one to use for my phone (I9505XXUFNDG) as it's not posted. Kernel version 3.4.0-481100.
I've tried I9505_WiFi_FIX_MDM.tar and I9505_WiFi_FIX_MDF.tar but they just messed up the phone completely.
Thx a lot.

Hi ,
you should flash the fix for the modem you have installed , try following:
Flash another modem from the list there
Now flash the modem wifi fix for that modem
If still in trouble re flash stock and start all over again.....

Thx, did just that and now it works properly.
Much obliged.
a problem started to show recently; when i select LTE/WCDMA/GSM for auto connect network mode when the mode switches due to signal availability it doesn't get reconnected. i.e. while under LTE it works fine but if i move and get out of reach it should automatically switch to slower network which it doesn't. this works fine if i select WCDMA/GSM then the switches are fine but LTE is not available under this.
one more thing i noticed since i'+ve flashed the phone is that the upper part of the phone gets very very hot (a lot more than before). since the flash i've also had to replace a microSD card which died within weeks (not necessarily connected but worth noting).
any suggestions welcome.

Your digging around has misled you. The GT-I9505 has 2100MHz support for 3g, as noted here, here, and here. It also has 2100MHz support for LTE. So something else is causing your issue. Are you certain your phone isn't in fact getting an LTE signal instead of 3G?

So in my country all service providers work with 3g at 2100 frequency, why does my s4 doesn't connect to 3g?
Well... sadly after digging around i found out that the phone doesn't support 2100 frequency.
It's the official firmware for this country, was bought in this country but only gets 2g and 4g
any way to solve this mess? most of the data signal comes from 3g signal, if i'm inside of a building i only have gsm data :crying:

Inside the buildings there is no 4g cover, i really need the 3g
Based upon the information you've provided, you're on the Baltic Black Edition firmware (CSC SEB). The firmware here though doesn't appear to be the problem. The problem is that you need to clear up some confusion here. You're saying you can't get LTE, are using unbranded firmware, yet your phone is locked to a carrier.
In an attempt to clear up things, please provide us with the missing information below, and confirm any already provided information is correct.

Answer: AP and CP I9505XXUGNJ8, CSC I9505YXXGNK1, which using the sammobile.com firmware checker links to the Baltic Black Edition firmware.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)

NOS (formerly PT Multimedia, ZON Multimedia and ZON Optimus). You will have to flash the latest firmware for your locked device. Download, unzip and flash this firmware via ODIN: HERE.
thanks but as i said before, i've tried many stock firmware, including that... that was te first one because i also thought that was something related to simlock
i will send the phone to warranty, or try at least
@Joku1981: If I didn't have to work today I would have told him the same thing.
@monteiro-ribas: If you intend on having the phone swapped out, you might want to flash the correct firmware that Joku1981 provided the link to before sending the phone in. I do hope you let us know if you get your issue resolved and whether it actually was the phone or, alternatively, the service.

My original post in modems:
Ok guys, my kingdom for a solution, please !!!
Here's the deal, I have a samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505 bought in hong kong, worked flawlessly for over a year on Telcel Mexico network, took a trip overseas to France bought a sim put it in the phone, worked great !!!!, came home put in my original sim and since then my S4 has been unable to maintain a stable 3g connection, usually connects for a under a minute and reverts back to edge. I've tried many different things recommended on this and other forums:
1.- removing/replacing sim card
2.- removing/replacing battery for over 4 hrs
3.- tried different sim cards from different carriers with same result
4.- wipe and clean install with different firmwares
5.- installed cyanogenmod latest
6.- under network modes, tried selecting every combination of lte, 3g, 2g, automatic network registration and selecting my preferred network.
7.- tried flashing over 30 different modems
8.- flashed latest firmware from sammobile specific to my phone (I9505ZHUFNL1_I9505ZZHFNL1_TGY)
9.- took it to a "technician" and he managed to return my phone in the exact same condition with the exception that now the wifi didnt work (i managed to fix this on my own)
10.- installed advanced signal status from play store which gave acces to other goodies such as selecting radio band between automatic, europe and usa, tried everyone of them with no solution.
Tried to be as thorough as possible, hope someone out there has a solution. I thank you all for your time and experience. Happy Holidays !!!!! I hope I am posting in the correct area, i searched and found this is the place where my problem seems to be discussed
P.D. Since im flashing GPE right now the screenshots no longer reflect what im on but I do have a nandroid back up of this rom and I am about to restore it.
Hope I was thorough, thanks for any help

Hello, i need the steps to. the link is broken.
By
I am on Three (UK) and I now understand that wifi calling is a carrier feature and a phone purchased direct from samsung will not have this enabled.
I have found that you can flash carrier firmware to enable this but I have a few questions:
Can i do so without the carrier bloat such as a horrible boot screen and preinstalled apps?
Will this affect my Knox / android pay / secure folder access?
Is there any way I can flash the wifi calling functionality without a complete reflash?
Thanks
Does 3 have WiFi calling? I don't think so.
Unless it's new. I left them in Feb after many years to get Volte. There was no voWifi then.
The reason I ask is voWifi worked out the box on my unlocked BTU S8 with EE.
Volte did not and required me to flash the EE firmware. This works a treat. No knox trip, no branding or bloat, no AP or secure folder issues.
If you want supervoice, you will need to flash the firmware.
Edit - seems I was speaking bollocks, yes they have WiFi calling, called "embedded wifi" now. As said, with EE this worked out the box for me. Only needed their firmware for Volte.
Three does have voWiFi aswell as voLTE/vo4G (In select areas).
Call Three and make sure WiFi Calling is enabled on your account and then you should receive a carrier update adding the WiFi Calling option.
(Source: Method I used with Vodafone UK)
I though three used an app for WiFi calling? Or at least that was the only way I could get it to work when I was with them a few years ago.
Edit: I've just read that they have built in vowifi but only on certain handsets. Perhaps the s8 isn't supported as yet?
I did a chat with them, S8 is supported for voWifi it seems.
Here in Poland, phone with non branded system works with WiFi calling. There's setting in dialer options (three dots menu). After I toggled it on wifi calling started to work.
TIM purchased s8 here, flashed the h3g firmware and volte and WiFi calling both function.
Bloat is there (boot screen and m$ office).
No call to three required to activate, it just works as soon as the correct CSC is on the device
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Three's website does confirm the S8 is compatible for WiFi Calling.
Go into the Phone app, press the three dot's -> Settings and see if there is a WiFi Calling toggle, this is at the bottom of the list.
If WiFi Calling is not there, make sure you have the latest update installed.
Update via the following guide from Three themselves: (please add a :// after http and make sure there are no gaps as I am not yet allowed to post links): http support.three.co.uk/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBISAPI.dll/,/?New,Kb=Mobile,Ts=Mobile,T=Device,varset_pid=40031,varset_cid=40041,Case=EXT(EM114337)
I've literally just switched from BTU to H3G and WiFi calling appeared instantly during setup. I did have to use CSC rather than HOME_CSC, as the latter caused Odin to fail first time around. I have also confirmed WiFi calling and texts are working, which is a huge plus as the lab in which I work seems to block all mobile signal!
Did installing H3G also enable VoLTE?
Cheers
Thanks for the quick replies everyone! Wifi calling is enabled in my account (it worked on my iphone) but the wifi calling option is not there at all. (I've checked all guides, including the 3 dots then going into phone settings) I know there is an app but it is horrifc, calls often don't come through at all, the app requires a persistent notification and is a major battery drain. @goRt @foo25 - > did you guys follow a guide for flashing three firmware? Do you know of any way to avoid the carrier bloat / sim lock?
Thanks all!
I've just flashed the three firmware from the Samsung version. After flashing, inbuilt Wi-Fi calling just worked. Wi-Fi calling toggle also appeared in phone- 3dots- settings menu. 800mz band 20 LTE also started working after switching firmware which means an extra bar or two when band 3 LTE signal is low.
The only downside I could see is the three UK splash screen on boot. I haven't noticed any extra bloat apart from the three likes app which I uninstalled straight away.
The phone is not SIM locked by flashing the carrier firmware.

I didn't follow a guide but there are plenty around for flashing stock firmware on the S8 or S8+.
I just downloaded the latest version of Odin, and then the latest three.uk firmware from Samobile. I unzipped the firmware then loaded each of the components into the relevant Odin section ie. CP into CP section AP into AP section etc. I made the mistake of loading the 'CP Home' firmware into the CP section of Odin which caused the flash to fail which required use of Samsung emergency recovery procedure. I did that three times before trying loading 'CP' part of firmware into CP part of Odin which worked fine.

*Download latest odin
*download desired firmware. (samobile) and extract it.
*go to settings>about device>software info>tap build number 7 times until developer options enabled.
*go to developer options and enable USB debugging and OEM unlock.
*plug phone into pc and let it install the drivers.
*turn off phone and boot to download mode.
*open odin and click AP. Insert the firmware you just downloaded.
*odin options should be: auto reboot checked, F reset time checked, repartition UNCHECKED.
*connect phone to odin and it will say added. COM box will turn blue. Just click start and let it do it's thing.
The first boot up can take a short while.
Thanks to everyone for the detailed replies.
One more question: I use secure folder and plan to use android pay. My colleague told me that flashing a new firmware will trip knox which will render these features unusable.
Will flashing the official 3 firmware do this? I'm only flashing to get a feature as advertised (there's a lot to be said for iPhone's just "working" )
Thanks

Will flashing the official 3 firmware do this? I'm only flashing to get a feature as advertised (there's a lot to be said for iPhone's just "working" )
Thanks

Aslong as you flash official samsung firmware then knox will not be triped as its signed by samsung. Knox only trips when flashing twrp, root or any custom roms.
Before you start, do you have the option for wifi calling in phone>settings right at the bottom?

Hi all i have flashed my btu s8 to h3g and i also have the wifi option in the menu and it works great, however i can't find the volte option anywhere and i have never yet seen the symbols for it on my status bar.
When i had my old btu s4 i also flashed that to h3g and i remember the volte symbols showed up in the status bar.
So do i need to do anthing to activate volte?

Hi there,
There is no option for volte, if your network supports it then it will automatically be on where ever you have 4G signal. There is no option in settings but the icon looks like in the screenshot
Hello,
I recently purchased an unlocked S10+ because I wanted to install a custom ROM on it.
One of the prerequisites for the install is a firmware upgrade to the latest Android 12 version.
I got the firmware for the phone's CSC and flashed it successfully with odin4 on Linux.
However, the phone will not join T-Mobile's network, even though the APN network is correct in connection settings.
Checking the SIM/RF stack via *#0011# shows valid RF signal, but IMEI Status reports as NG.
The phone works flawlessly over WiFi (VoWiFi, etc...), but reports emergency calls only when WiFi is disabled.
I'm wondering if someone could suggest other things for me to try with the phone to get it connected to the GSM network.
Is this a case of me having to "fix" the /efs partition?
Many thanks.
