Yest this is the only problem I try to solve at home conditions.

But if you flash all blooks expect 12 and 13 everything should be OK.

I prpopably change my blooks and remove 12 and 13 even if I warmed people still install everything.

After trying to install X_Note ROM and try to follow advice to backup EFS before that, the EFS BU I've d/l from Play Store ruin my 9005 LTE.

None of the advices and fixes around helped, I got crashes, "Baseband Unknown" etc.

Hi Zubairok,

I just wonder before you repaired your phone with SPT Box; did you phone show IMEI number??

Right now, my phone IMEI = unknown, S/N change, and IMEI cert. = fail. So, no mobile signal at all.

Will SPT box can solve this problem??

KitKat

Mirek,

Do you think your guite will work with NA6 and NA7 firmwares and the new KitKat bootloader?

I've had theese framework (i.e fast) reboots and freezes for a couple of weeks and that made me install 4.4.2 ROM and the new bootloader respectively. No change with the freeze/framework reboot situation. I did however pay closer attention at what triggers this. After a complete power on/off the phone works fine for a while. Then when I lose wi-fi connection and the device has to switch to 2G/3G - freeze/reboot!

Same thing happens when losing wireless signal....

Practically I have a very nice 'wi-fi only' tablet that only works with strong wi-fi signal....

So this is how I got convinced this is some sort of connectivity issue and came across your thread ;)

I do, however, have IMEI and SN in tact. Also this:

SIB19 is received

IMEI CERTI : PASS

Also could you, please explain a bit what do you do with these dd if= / of= commands. I gather you replace practically all partitions with blank ones. Then how the hell does the device boot afterwards??

Anyway, I know you don't feel like even looking at this thread after what you've been through with your phone, but if you have some time - I could use some info to adapt your instructions for KitKat

i have a live demo but the problem with this rom is only it reboots again and again when ever i try to play video in it..and after reading a lot i came to know its due to modem (which isnt available in demo ) lags with the one in stock

please help me how can i remove this modem.bin file from the stock and install then via odin..

or do tell me a way to make this thing work :(

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenbeyond:
I have a kitkat firmware and this method worked for me! But only with a Poland (XEO) firmware. Samsung has done something really stupid with the firmwares from rest of the regions. I had tried with firmwares from Netherlands (PHN) and Singapore (XSP) with no success.

I had all the symptoms mentioned in this thread:

Serial Number and IMEI = Null

Random freezes and reboots. Most of the apps would force close.

It was impossible to use the phone even as a basic MP3 Player!!

So this is what I did: Mirek190's guide

Flashed a Kitkat XEO firmware with PIT, ticked Repartion, Nand erase all, Phone EFS Clear.

Replaced all the files mentioned in the guide using the adb commands and rebooted.

After this my IMEI was 0/01 and Serial Number = RF00000000

Restored Serial Number using the HEX editor and IMEI with EFS Pro.

Now IMEI and serial number shows the actual values.

*#0011# gives IMEI CERTI : PASS

But I still have another weird problem. It only connects when the network is 3G! Otherwise emergency calls only. Can anyone please help me with this problem?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D4rk_nVidia:
Hello my problem was that my IMEI number was gone.

So first I flashed an DBT ROM i think with 3 or 4 parts and an pit file.

After that I flashed the latest XEF ROM(Got an EUROPE/FRANCE phone) .

It was rooted and an recocery was also installed.

After I copied all of those mmc files , my phone wasnt booting.

So I flashed an 4 part XUENA 6 OXX ROM and checked NAND ERASE ALL, EFS Clear and repartition.

After that my phone was booting AND MY IMEI WAS THERE!

*#06# shows "357*********/ 01"

But my serial number is gone and it seems like only HSDPA is working.

Where I can find my serial number?

I got an "backup" of my efs folder and there is an file called "serial no".

Is this my sn? I think it looked a bit different.

IMEI fixed, no network

Hello

I had a n9005 with lost imei.

I read all the posts in 30 pages,I took it to a repairshop and explained them about your guide to fix lost IMEI. They fixed it the IMEI number and everything is okay except the network. They have the newest SPT BOX and cable etc.

They told me that they couldn't fix the serial number that's why there is no network.

Could someone explain how they can fix the serial number problem and get network signal?

After that phone loops in samsung logo no recovery mode. Enter phone in recovery mode then flash with 3.0.9 odin a clean rom. After restart (without wipe) ALL imei, baseband, serial are back to my perfect working phone. :good::good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
I backed up my pit file with heimdall. I wonder what is the cleanest way to do a full reset wiping EVERYTHING possible without ruining the phone.

I wonder if a full erase could set knox back to 0x0. Did anyone try to do:

1) run odin

2) flag nand erase, repartition and f reset

3) give the pit file to odin

4) give a stock firmware (the one the pit file was backupped from)

hit start.

then, if needed (!?) restore efs using DM mode and efs pro or a similar program.

Hi, i have the following problem:

when i flashed modems forth and back on my N9005, trying to downgrade from NC2 modem to MI6, after phones restart, my IMEI disappeared, and my baseband is also unknown & the phone restart itself quite often. Then i tried a lot of things to bring back my IMEI: restored a nandroid backup, restored my EFS&Modem with the EFS Backup Tool edited by NIMA (not with EFS PRO, because i didn't maded a backup with EFS PRO), flashed a stock ROM, copied the mmcblk0p17&mmcblk0p18 files which i got from a nice person to my dev/block folder, but my IMEI just wont came back.

Someone could help me, what should i try? My last solution would be reflashing the phone with the PIT file (i have lot of data on eMMC), - first i should try the second part of first post if i have a valid SN? (- on dial pad dial *#0808, choose RMNET+DM+MODEM and pres ok, plug the phone to computer , wait until drivers will be installed, run EFS Professional, choose Quallcom NV tools, click connect, on the bottom is imei repair put your right imei number, choose write to device and just write, unplug phone , dial again *#0808#, choose MTP+ADB, restart phone and your imei should be again ok.)

or should i try first firasusman's method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567133)?

When i looked to my dev/block folder i see all mmcblk0p1->mmcblk0p22 files are empty 0 byte files...

In that case if you signal is ok and can't get access to network...The only help is use the box to activate it.

I had exactly the same problem because I overwritten block 12 and 13 ( memset 1 and 2 ).

Full signal but not connected to network - I tried so many things - only box was able to activate fully network.

I remember l that the first time when I was trying to repair network signal ( but I setup bad parametrs ) my phone restarted in SAFE MODE ( I had such label in left cornel on home screen ) and few seconds later appeared another label SETUP NETWORK and my phone restarted itself.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyriquidperfection:
If anyone has broken Note 3 by using the EFS app by boris.x. I see that he utilises Samsungs built in nv backup and restore mechanism. This worked on Galaxy S3 but will break your Note 3. Basically what happens is that it wipes out your FSG and BACKUP partitions on the device. To make your phone work again, simply restore these two partitions from a working device. I removed the Samsung built in backup and restore functions from EFS Professional after some people used it by mistake and broke their Note 3. But restoring the two partitions above from a working Note 3 will reverse this.
