hello ladies and gents I bought a note 3 yesterday from some dude thinking I could fix it and get a note 3 on the cheap. I was wrong the problem is hard to fix.
1 It will not register to network
it is not blacklisted or network blocked.
Ive read somewhere that after you register to many different sims it wont allow it to connect to network anymore.
what can I do I wonder as a last ditch effort if I replace the motherboard if that will work any suggestions please?

Have you tried updating the firmware? check the APN on the phone once you insert the sim.
You could try taking it to a T-Mobile store to see if they can get it to register. Sometimes they can activate it when you can't.

I cant take it to the store i bought it from someone or at least i dont think i can it didnt have the knox counter activiated but now it does so im pretty sure the thing that resends and receives the signal is broken but im not sure where it is.
its basically a tablet :/

Try updating to the latest firmware. Something might have broke the modem during an upgrade. Go to www.sammobile.com

It is most definitely not imei blocked.
It feels like it might be hardware related but I have no idea how to fix that. some piece that deals only with registering on networks.

Well, that's interesting.
If you go to settings, mobile networks, and search for networks, can you select the network and have it register?
Also double check the apn settings. I borked my hidden apn settings once and couldn't get back on the network until i wiped and reflashed full stock.
If none of that works, try also resetting the nv. Look for my thread on 900t service mode for instructions.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.16 powered stock 4.4.2 SM-N900T
I've already rebuilt the nv build. It's a family mobile sim(tmobile)
Also the apn settings I can try that again haven't changed them since I did a flashed back to stock. I doubt it will change anything usually you can still register.
oh the sim doesn't even have service anymore anyhow. Yesterday was the last day but I don't think that would change being able to register anyway.
Notice that it turns off mobile data when I try to register it may be a clue but I haven't been able to make anything of it.

So I have a Telus I747M (Canadian) and I used ROM Manager to get CWM 6 on my phone. The thing is that I chose the Metro PCs version and I installed it. Now I have no signal at all. I flashed the firmware back to the stock telus one via USB and Odin. Still no service, anything to do now?
are you sure you flashed the right stock rom? Stupid question but it's always best to check. And did you get your phone from Metro or did you unlock it?

Try flashing any rom (like Cyanogenmod) and then use any of the many methods to re-unlock your phone to Metro and see if that helps.

If your IMEI shows 0, no amount of flashing will help you. You must restore you IMEI to have data working again. If you backed up your IMEI or EFS folder your set, just restore it.

I am in the same boat. Slow connection, rarely actually works. Had lost my imei, but restored it with the NV whatever.. Saved my QCN using QPST, then tried to use QCN restorer app, and am getting an error occurred blah blah.
I brought it in to AT&T yesterday, had a full restore completed and new sim card installed... no luck. guess i will keep trying stuff until its either bricked or back to normal haha
Background: (beginner level 1) I bought an i317 Note 2 online to use in Canada. Came with 4.1.2 so I did the downgrade to 4.1.1...ALJ2 modem and all to use the free unlock method. I followed the method to the letter and I thought it worked.
Problem: it just doesn't register on the network, it just displays a circle with a line through it where the network bars are supposed to be. I've spent hours, honestly, just searching through several threads and have tried almost all methods I came across to put it to stock and somehow get it to work. I've put in my Rogers sim card and even my friend's sim but same result.
So after months of quietly browsing through XDA and finding the solutions, I am forced to call the seasoned pro's to help me. Again, I've flashed the stock 4.1.1 ROM to put it back to stock and even flashed the modem for it separately and still no luck. The only other thing I suspect could be an EFS issue but I don't know if that is the case, or have the know-how to check and resolve if required. Please help.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Thanks,

First check your imei by doing *#06# could be corrupted imei.

Yes, I checked and made sure that the IMEI matches to both the box and the sticker on the back. Also the APN appears for Rogers when I have the sim inserted and I am able to select it as well.
Having imei showing is a good sign

Hopefuly its not efs problem cuz I know if you have efs issue you will get that yellow box with hardware info showing once you turn on the phone. You also mention that imei is still good and showing when you enter *#06# its more on enabling data connection with Rogers network.

Yes, the IMEI shows properly and matches to the sticker on the back. Also the baseband (modem) info also shows up correctly. It just remains in Airplane Mode and everytime I attempt to disable it, the phone pretends to be "processing" but the Airplane Mode option greys out - and the airplane mode remains active. I've spent all weekend on this and still no luck - guys I need help to bring my phone back to life. Earlier today I reflashed the 4.1.1 ALJ2 stock file through ODIN and still no change.
Also can someone point/guide me on how to restore the defaults on Service Mode/Menu - I bought it second hand and not sure if the previous owner made any changes trying to unlock the phone. I just want to revert everything back to stock to end with a working phone. Will flashing a stock ROM fix/revert any changes?
(I'm talking about the Service menu that is access using the *#197328640# used to unlock the phone)
Thanks.
Guys - I reflashed the original QCN (not sure if its proper or corrupted) that I got with the phone which has returned the phone to out of airplane mode but now I'm not catching any signal.

Need help with lost unlocked
Hi, I've been trying to read as much as I can to solve my issue but no luck... I'm about to give up but thought someone here might be able to help hopefully!
Here's what happened, I bought an sgh-i317 running on 4.1.1 from someone online the phone worked properly at the time. I purchased an unlocked code from internet put it in everything worked fine. I later found the way to unlocked for free with the *#197.... but I said what the heck its already done... kept on reading got excited and decided to flash 4.1.2 rooted with odin... after that my nightmare began...
First I inserted an ATT sim and got the mm#2 sim not provisioned, then I tried a friends ATT it worked but when he putted back to his iphone he got his phone block so he had to call ATT to make it work again
Whenever I insert a T-Mobile sim or simple mobile I get the phone not allow mm#6
At first I thought the phone has been reported but I called ATT and they say it isn't, then I kept reading and nothing seems to repair this
I even reflashed everything to stock 4.1.1 to try to unlocked it with the *#197... again but it seems to do nothing now
then I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045563
where they say that once you are unlocked you shouldn't flash with odin... I guess I messed up...
My imei matches, the phone has not been reported, whenever I insert a foreign sim car I don't get the network lock screen but the phone not allow mm#6 message
I think that somehow when I updated to 4.1.2 with odin... I either lost or damage my unlock
could someone help?
Thanks in advance

Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

Well you have nothing to lose at this point then.
I doubt you will find a canned click next solution.
You will probably have to go the "hacking" route.
Good Luck.
Hi all,
I have a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S3 that I can't get the modem to work on. I have Philz recovery on it and have tried a few modem files but neither the wireless or the mobile carrier works.
I have tried putting cyanogenmod on it but am back on a stock ROM at this point. I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do.
The phone boots fine, looks all normal but I just can't get on the mobile network(tried multiple SIM's).
I am really hoping you can help!
Does your phone display the correct imei when you dial *#06#??
It does, it shows my IMEI with a /5 at the end.
At this point, I am running I747MVLUEMK5_I747MOYCEMK5_BMC
I also do show cellular signal but can't seem to connect. When I scan wireless networks, I pick nothing up.
Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Is the phone blacklisted?
I don't think so, how can I verify that? I did buy it used just over a year ago and it only broke about a month ago?

You've had the phone for a while so I didn't think it would be blacklisted.
Since you have the 4.3 bootloader, you need to have a compatible modem and, from my experience, only the mk5 modem will work.
Did you use Odin to flash back to stock?
Yes, that is how I put the current stock firmware on it. I had cyanogenmod on it at one point...

I am at a loss as to why you cannot connect to a network. Which carrier do you want to connect with?

Is the i747 modem compatible with the i747m?
I got my phone around the begining of last month and decided the other night that it was time to root as I have rooted every android device I have owned since the wildfire s. I had previously taken the OTA so I was on vs98512b. I used LG flashtool to downgrade to vs98510b. The downgrade it's self went fine. I then rooted using stumproot again nothing out of the ordinary. I downloaded Supersu and enabled survival mode. I tried to check for New updates and it says "your phone is not registered" I found that to be strange so I checked some other settings and found that my imei was 000000000000000. I found that to be strange. I attempted to make a call and my phone switched to roaming and I lost all my signal bars. I performed a factory reset and after the reset I have all network function, I'm connected to Verizon 4g lte and can make calls, no more roaming. I checked the imei again at this point and it is still showing 000000000000000 and I was still unable to update. So I then reflashed the stock firmware for vs98510b. Again I had the roaming issue that went into being unable to connect to network. Again I performed a hard rest on my phone and got full network function back. I had a new micro SIM tucked away for a rainy day so I put the New SIM card in and activated it with no change to imei. What can I do from here? My phone is working fine with the imei being 000000000000000 it seems like the only issue is not being able to get an OTA, when I try using Verizon's upgrade assistant it won't even list my phone. If I check my Verizon it shows up as a non vow device. Thanks in advanced.

have you backuped the efs partition like the rooting thread said
Of course not. That would have been to easy. If I had I would have been able to avoid making a new thread. I really do Google first. Except with the back up of the eds partition. I knew nothing about that until I searched imei problems.

VS985: Lost IMEI, Can't Make Phone Calls
I'm having problems with my VS985 after downgrading including losing the IMEI and especially the ability to make phone calls.
So I got a used VS985W that had 35B installed on it for one of my kids. Having put CyanogenMod on my LG G3 (VS985) successfully, I started down that path. I used the TOT method to flash back to 10B, then used KDZ to upgrade to 12B. Then I rooted, installed TWRP, and then CyanogenMod. But I couldn't make phone calls.
There are numerous things I've tried, but it's still unable to make phone calls, usually giving out of service area, but when trying to use the *#06# code, I get an error of "missing IMMI or such".
At one point I found the IMEI had gone to all zeros. I managed to find a method to fix that. I also switched out SIM cards between phones; same issue - it's the phone and firmware.
The only thing that seems to fix it is to go back to stock 35B. Then it makes phone calls. But then I can't root it and restore the apps/data we backed up from the previous phone (LG Spectrum running CM 11).
I have done hours of searching and reading these forums along with others. I've redone the downgrade and root and TWRP install and tried numerous things but still can't get phones calls in stock versions less than 35B or in CyanogenMod (12.1, not 13, which I did try to install but never could get it to reliably boot back up after an installation, so finally gave up and went back to 12.1).
Anyone heard of this before? I can't find it. I did see in this thread post #4:

Unfortunately this link doesn't work (moved or deleted). I'm continuing to search, but it almost seems like I managed to royally muck up some partition I didn't mean to? I've tried following the advice of a number of posts, too, on related, similar aspects, but I'm getting to a point of slight insanity. Along with a kid that wants their phone (and the old one has the older style SIM so not just that easy to deal with just switching unfortunately).
Any guidance or thoughts Much appreciated. Am going to continue to try the various things I'm reading about. Thanks, -Mark
