So its clear to me . I have no EFS partition backup and my baseband is unknown (IMEI null/null ). Only option is to replace the main-board .
I was wondering if there is some way to still be able to use the phone to make calls and stuff. Is there some device like those portable 3g wifi hotspots that can actually connect to my phone over Wifi or usb and provide "phone" functionality to my note 3 ?

What did you do to mess your phone up?
My guess is that it is firmware related, try searching, for some it is enough to just full flash the handset. unknown baseband is a firmware/modem problem, or hardware issue.
So don't give up mate.
But you have a few options
First try all the suggestions on xda
Second buy an asansam box + z3x autoignition micro uart cable (http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/...ged,with,2,pcs,cables,,341410.php?prod=341410 only 79 USD. Remember to buy the UART cable.)
Third buy a gmate (External modem as you suggested) (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gmate-Wir..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item33900123f8)
Final and last solution, go to a Samsung service center
I would go for the Asansam box. The price on a gmate or an Asansam box is the same, and then you would not have to deal with an external bt modem.
I own an Asansam, and I am really glad for it, it is really an all in one toolkit for Samsung users.
And I am willing to help you out using teamviewer to get the handset up and running again
Best regards

Thats exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks. Your reply has been one of the most informative ones for me. Here is my original thread. Few more questions:
Is Asansam box going to work in my case? Its the 32 GB hong kong n9005. I have no EFS backup. IMEI is null/null and baseband is Unknown
How usable is the GMate ? is it worth the effort or just get a new mainboard ?
Samsung in my country cannot repair the phone since N9005 is not release here (N900 is). Also my knox is 0x1 . If I change my mainboard, can I do it from any country where the N9005 is available ?

Yup Asansam box is working on all variants of N9005.
I have never seen Gmate in use, I would check diff reviews out
Yes, it is the same PCB
But in my mind the Asansam is clearly the best solution for you, and cheapest. It is really a must have tool

I am quite positive about your asansam box solution. Its just that I want to be extra sure that its going to work in my case before I invest in purchasing it. Also, do samsung service centers have this device? Or is it an 'illegal' tool just for the modding community and the like. I wonder if someone has the asanbox in India.
Here is the official reseller in India.Is it the correct product ? Please let me know which uart cable to get with this (a link on the website itself).
So should I go ahead with this? I'm totally relying on you for this. Just for the record : I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005 Hong Kong version. Currently on stock 4.4.2 Poland Kitkat with 4.4.2 Bootloader. Everything works perfect except :
The Baseband is UNKNOWN
The IMEI is NULL
Serial number is present but not the one written on the box
I did not backup my EFS folder before doing the Kitkat upgrade. Here is my original thread.
I will be the happiest person on earth if this works :angel:

I am loving my asansam.
It is a tool for none official repair centers arround the world, and unlockers. My guess is that someone in India also has an Asansam box. But why pay 20-40 USD for a repair when a new only cost 79 USD?? Then you will also be able to help your friends out. But this text is seriously misleading
IMEI Changing, Editing or repairing is illegal!!
This box does not repair, change or edit imei of any handset.
This box is not capable of changing or editing or repairing imei of any handset.
We are not responsible if you use these box with any third party software for any illegal operation.
This box is just an interface between mobile phone and computer. We do not sell any software.
If it is an official reseller then you will get an Asansam box + sim card, and not just the interface. Then It will work with the official asansam suite, which can be found here:

I would clearly buy it, it will work, if it is not an hardware issue, and I surely doubt that it should be hardware related. It can easily fix unknown baseband. But take a look on their forum, and I will gladly help you using teamviewer to get your phone up and running again.
This should work (http://www.icables.in/uart-cable-set-for-samsung-with-5-pro-cables.html), but I have never used these cables. I have only used the z3x auto ignition cable that Asansam also recommend.
It can be found here:http://www.gsmsp.com/products/Servi...able_powered_by_GPGIndustries_1209_16502.html
But you could ask the supporter on gsmhosting if N9005 4.4.2 firmware is supported, but it should be supported in Asansam 2.5.1
Best regards

Thanks for your support. I've sent the phone to a service center that has the asansam and SPT box. Lets hope it works. Else, I'll send it back to Samsung UAE for motherboard replacement.
Did you not try the fire script? It rebuilds your EFS Partition.

Hi all,
Is it possible to know on a new device, before even unboxing it (from the box stickers), if the device is branded or not? and maybe it's CSC?
I have ordered an N910C and looking to find out if this is branded or not before unboxing it. (to avoid return issues in case is branded).
Bought Soyan M9 smartwatch a month back but still struggling to dowload/create new watch faces.
Google alot if any tool is available but didn't found.
I am also not sure what is operating system on it but suspecting tencent OS. However if any tool is not available and i suspect this is MTK processor based device so anyone can tell me if i can install Andorid on it.
Could not get even hardware Specs of the watch.
Some info about Soyan M9.
i hav asked same questions to supplier and have got below reply.
I had response you later,have not you got it?But no worry,i can send it again.Here is the reply for our supplier,
1.This is Taiwan MTK mediatek chips, cosmos Slim function machine and PDA system software package.
2.The APP name Mediatek smart devices.You can go to Google Play or Apple Store download it.
3.the chip: MT6260 ,frequency :350 M,it can support GPRS and MMS, WAP and so on.
4.There are three watch faces,you can provide 240 * 240 pixels image here if you want download more faces,our supplier can built into the software.
However i didn't get how to update or upgrade firmware.
MT6250 / MT6260 base smartwatches are from ZGPAX also. Can i install other MTK devices firmware.. I would appriciate if someone can explain if i can install android on it.
Thanks in advance.
Soyan M9 smartwatch firmware
Worst product service so far. I bought watch couple of months back but took long time to know about hardware.
This watch is dead totally and I kept asking for firmware so I can flash the watch to make it work again.
It's almost more than 20 times now that I asked for firmware but those Support people unable to understand my mail.
Unfortunately I have to take help from outside the soyan support. I request if anyone who bought this watch, can able to backup firmware and share me.
I would recommend to take backup of firmware anyway because after bricking of watch you won't able to get from soyan support.
If would appreciate if anyone can help and provide me firmware.
Firmware
Anyone in this forum who is using soyan m9 smartwatch. If yes then pls take backup of firmware using flash tool and help me providing the link.
you're the only one posting in this topic, i'm afraid you're on your own....
maybe we should put a sticky topic in this "Other smartwatches" section "DON'T FLASH YOU CHINESE WATCH"
Well, if you have soyan m9 watch then you can take backup of firmware using flash tool. Also can help me providing backed up firmware.

Thank you for your kind support. Backup can be done using Flash Tool. Below is one of the youtube video to perform the same. It is also good to have backup as we never know when it could be needed to restore.

Hello,
I get an issue on my brand new LG G6. After booting it for the first time, I loaded my gmail account and downloaded my apps. Then I performed the upgrade to come to the latest firmware version.
So, no modification was done regarding bootloader, root access or development mode. Anyway my bank app refuses to start with the message "Root or development mode detected". How is this possible ?
Anyone is experiencing the same behavior ?
Do a fresh install using LGUP and uppercut
Where are you buy this phone ? It looks like a refurbished product..
Device was buyed in a mainstream shop. Package seemed brand new.
I flashed device with stock firmware and it is ok now. How does it come they sell refurbished as new devices ?

Normally if it is reconditioned it is necessarily indicated, it's weird, was there a sticker on the box for the sealed warranty?
The new G6 has a very thin plastic screen protector to affix basic, was it present?
hello
i bought S8 new in sealed box.
According to ebay discription it is SM-950F and on Box there is written SM-950 but i look in app PHONE INFORMATION then it give me SM-9500 and Snapdragon instead of exynos.
