Hello,
Yesterday, my LG G3 (D885, international version) phone has started to claim that it has no service and "Service disabled", just all of a sudden. I had a stock rom when it happend.
I tried to verify whether it was sim that was burned out or IMEI that got erased but IMEI is not null and my sim card is working on other phones, while other sim cards does not work on mine.
Important to mention that WiFi does works perfectly and it just could not get any signals from mobile network (0 dBm)
At that time, I rooted that phone and installed BlissROM and then Cyanogenmod to verify it was not silly software that broke.
That attempts also did not work and created another weird effect.
After some time, now booting with sim inside the phone causes Cyanogenmod/BlissROM to not boot. I had to pull out the sim card in order for it to boot (when sim card is on, it shows the LG logo, cyanogenmod logo and then just shutsdown, and does not let to boot until sim is removed)
I tried flashing out the official modem for my phone again, the 20P (00052) baseband, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/radio-modem-lg-g3-t3110376 but still no success.
I took a backup of the stock rom working so I could revert to that any time (and manage to boot with sim and have this weird "x" sign or searching for network circle next to the signaling bar at the notification panel.
I'm really not sure what has gone wrong at that point. Might it be the antenna that has problems? How easy is replacing it?
What else might I do?
UPDATE: I tried to put on another sim on my phone, with cyanogenmod, and it booted! Now, it says again only emergency calls (no service) but signal strength is -105dBm.
No network, out of service but has signal (where before i switched to cyanogen and flashed modem, it had no signal strength back with sock)
But, on the next boot, it failed to boot with that another sim.
Thanks!

I had rooted my phone about a year ago when I got a different phone and about a month ago I had unrooted it with a app the unroots android before I took it to get it activated and everything was fine till about a week ago when I factory reseted my phone and it has been:
1. The sim card is not being recognized ( I've tried the sim card in a different phone and it works. )
2. When I try to search for a mobile network it says cannot find any network
3. The phone occasionally freezes to the point where I have to do the force restart thing.
4. The IMEI number is blank when I dial *#06#
5. The WiFi gets stuck on "obtaining ip address" ( tried 3 different networks. )
Does anyone know whats wrong or how to fix it?
I will screenshot the service menu or anything else on the phone if needed?
Additional info:
1. Bootloader unlock: no
2. The device has never been flashed.
Hello, I believe I soft bricked my SGH-T889. I was attempting to install CyanogenMod on it using the install app via Windows 8.1. However, somewhere in the middle of the installation, I think it was attempting to install the recovery, and next thing I know when I look back to check, the application on my PC said that CM could not talk to my phone. I then noticed I was stuck on the screen with Cid and a white background. Nothing else!
So, I took out the battery and then attempted to boot into recovery, my result is Cid and the white background screen. I then attempted to boot up the phone, my result was Cid and the white background screen. I then booted into Download Mode, and attempted to flash the root66_TMO_T889UVUCMK7_2.tar.md5 to go back to stock rooted, however, Odin3 3.07 is not recognizing the phone when I plug in the USB cable. I do not get the "Added!" message anywhere. It has always worked before.. please help me! I'm stuck with a phone that cannot do anything but show the blue Cid android.
I so regret flashing the ROM through TWRP. If anyone can provide assistance, it would be most appreciated!
Also, when I boot the phone, there is a red LED that flashes once. What does that mean??
Well what do you know, Odin finally recognized my phone, and the "added!" message in the box appeared. I guess it was because I plugged into the different USB port on my PC , and I went into download mode, and Odin recognized my device. I was then able to flash the root66 4.3 firmware. Problem solved on my own. Now I may flash it again, but this time using TWRP.
But, now let's see what happens. I was only wanting to flash this ROM to see if I have a signal on my phone, because I haven't since I flashed DN4 LTE v2 ROM and the Addon v1.1 (without rebooting) and I have absolutely no signal, not even on stock.. anyone know what's wrong?
EDIT: Okay, T889 is running on root66 4.3 stock firmware. However, I do not have a signal. Status bar is showing a white circle with cross. Baseband version is T889UVUCMK7. Network is unknown, signal strength is -113 dBm 0 asu, mobile network type is unknown, service state is out of service, mobile network state is disconnected. My IMEI is showing correctly. Why don't I have a signal? I'm searching everything on XDA.. and yes, my SIM is inserted correctly, and airplane mode is off. I wonder if this phone SIM reader is dead.. that cannot be the case. Also, when I insert my SIM into my Galaxy S3, it works perfectly fine. So the SIM card is not dead. What should I do?
EDIT2: Went into Settings > Mobile networks, and searched for available networks. Tapped on T-Mobile, and nothing. I scrolled down the status bar and now I get "selected network (T-Mobile) not available" can anyone please help me?
EDIT3: I just reset the binary counter to 0, and the status is official in Download Mode. Flashed stock T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_T889UVUCMK7_HOME.tar.md5, and still no service and signal. I'm going to attempt to use a different SIM card later during the day, if that doesn't work, I'm completely out of options. If anyone can provide assistance for me, that would be most appreciated. Thanks.
No longer accepting any solutions, problem is fixed.
help, I was using my note 3 and I realized that telling me only emergency call, I felt weird because where I live I have good network coverage. I restarted it and says "not registered on the network." I flashed the stock rom 5.0 but still the same.
I read some about missing EFS folder
Please help me
Try a factory reset.
Odin back to stock.
I did it but nothing happened
Re seat sim card check contacts put it back in, Do you get any bars? Red X?
You say "flash" but did you try Oden on the pc ?
Try a different sim card.
Restore Your Backup, You made???
Re flash radio don't let oden restart your phone pull battery put battery back in and go straight into bootloaded and reflash radio again.
Running out of ideas...
I solved the problem, I took it to a friend, it was something about the IMEI of the phone.
Thank you for your help
HI everybody
I am desperately hoping someone can help me with my problemS as I know this phone is very old to you guys. I live in Costa Rica and phones are 4x the price. So this is going to be rather lengthy explanation.
2 phones both N7100 one wh one bl
Black:
-was working on firmware 4.1.2 . There was an OTA update that the phone would download and try to install but it would fail at the 31% mark
White:
-was on 4.2.2 firmware DLK7 the CSC at bootup was BTU and working perfect. Decided to update to 4.4.2 and all went well except I was not getting wifi. Made the mistake of trying to regress not knowing at the time about non downgradable BL. Tried Resurection Remix, same problem with wifi. It will connect when I am on top of the router but the minute I am 3 feet away it says save, secure with no internet. Movistar and Claro chip both work over network. I am realizing now that I probably need to flash the British firmware with multi CSC that includes the BTU. But I am not sure which to flash. Present state
4.4.2
Baseband N7100DXUFNI1
Kernel
3.0.31-2177951

build KOT49H.N7100XXUFN14
When I check what CSC it is using in the multi code it is XTE and the other options do not look compatible for CR
THE BIG PROBLEM IS THE BLACK PHONE
it started randomly turning off. Then put me in bootloop. Flashed new firmware. All went through, PASS in Odin, but would not bootup. Shows battery logo only, with faint light in background turning on and off. I would pull battery out, do the 1,2,3 of holding power button for 1 then 2 then 3 minutes to drain no good. I have gone into recovery wipe and try reboot nothing. Leave battery out overnight and it starts up with new firmware. The moment it turns off, back to bootloop again. Flash new fimware (always staying with old bootloader). Same thing won't turn on. A few days later with no battery bingo, works until shut off. Thought I would try 4 firmware fix. Put in BL,CSC etc. FAIL because of needing PIT . Phone was in the connect to computer logo. Tried wipe in recovery, etc. When put battery back in back to connect to computer. So connected to Kies, would not recognize for recovery or emergency. So put info to upgrade and initialize, all perfect. Except would not turn on, back to battery bootloop. Left battery out overnight. phone turns on and firmware is of ICE the locked carrier in Costa Rica. Does not recognize my sim card intalled. When try restart, back to battery bootloop
AP N7100UBDMA3
CP N7100UBDMA1
CSC N7100ICEMA2
Also when I take the battery out I have to start up without sim card.
Now I am not sure but I am thinking this could be a factor: When I was upgading white phone I tried to NFC pass info from one phone to the other. Fail but some programs interchanged. Supersu passed to black phone and needed update, so I updated and I think that is what may be causing my trouble.
Both roms are official. I have tried all options I could find in this forum, I believe. With exception of PIT
Sorry so long of post but I am so desperate could anyone PLEASE suggest how to proceed.
Thank you
update
I have come to realize that the phone stuck in bootloop with start up normally if I leave the battery out for 7 hours. I have to wait until there is no boot loop at all when battery is inserted. Then the phone starts up with no problem. But the moment it is shut off the boot loop returns. i have tried to speed up buy holding the power button fo the 1, 2, 3, minutes but it doesn't speed it up. I have to wait overnight and then it starts without a problem. I flashed new firmware now, as the last flash was Costa Rican firmware which was locked to only Kolbi. There are no open firmware in CR. I downloaded a UBDLL3 as that works for others here apparently. Waited the 7 hours and phone started up. Emergency calls only. CSC for some reason is booting in ARO which is open Argentina. This is a multi CSC and I don't understand why it didn't pick TPA which is open Panama. Not sure whether to root this and change CSC or whether to download a version with a BTU sales code as I KNOW THIS WORKS. ALSO phone is not charging while turned on now, which poses a big problem when you can't turn off and on so easily. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Phone hasn't been blocked. Infact as long as i don't reboot I can use the phone without issue. As soon as I reboot though I have no network and imei is null. Connecting to a power cable and rebooting solves the issue (imei is corrected, signal restored upon reboot as long as connected to power supply whole time during reboot).
I used lgup to flash back to stock Europe OPEN H81510D.kdz (i have h815 internatonal: presume this is correct firmware) but hasn't resolved the issue and when I sent the phone back to where I bought it they returned the phone back to me saying the software had been tampered with.
Have I got a dead phone or is there any way to recover it?
I have the same problem. After update software on my cell to V20G. Phone lose signal and IMEI number error. Any Help?
Doing a hard reset fixed mine. Wiped everything inc sdcard though
