[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohayyam:
it is unbelievable !!! Thanx bro for you kind support. I already give my phone to local repairman who think that he knows everyting, like all of us :))

Today i will take back from him it is 3. day and he still trying to fix it for 3 days... He just try to change imei to generic but still no success and he said he already read all xda forum's related subject bla bla...

Bro please tell me what did you do to install to work modem again ? How did you correct NG2 modem installation ?

On the other hand how can i check modem working or not, if he changed the imei number from null to generic imei 0049... is there any tricky way ?? I mean he gave me my phone. i call *#1234# and see on screen CP .. bla bla... is it % 100 mean that modem installed correctly and working or how can i be sure ? any other way to check modem ? Second way probably connect to nv tolls to see spc reject or not ? is it ?

Final question : how we can learn the phone have original csc code ??? is only way to ask 6 each samsung support live chat from imei ? For example i already asked to UAE online chat they said your phone fake!!! I asked again then he said he mean this imei does not belong his region thats why he said fake... where is these regions ? i heard there are 6 regions acc. to samsung. maybe usa, uae, singapore, HK, korea maybe UK any idea ??

Thanks in Advance

Simply upload a good QCN file though QPST. You must read it out from a good working one, preferably an identical model ( though sometime it works from similar models too).

If done correctly, it works every time. Search or google it for the exact procedure.

You can try flashing this script in CWM.

Did you upgrade your phone from 4.3 to 4.4.2?

If the script doesn't help, try to flash 4.3 modem on 4.4.2 stock firmware.

It made my N9005 come to life again. Flash it twice.

The only solution, which worked for my SM-9005 LTE Snapdragon was following a post from handy-support.com. There is a collection of a firmware and modem file bundle (with a corresponding pit file). Right after flashing the whole firmware (with the options Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, Reset Time und Nand Erase All on in odin 3.09) bundle. I have to go instant after reboot in recovery mode again, made a factory reset, again download mode and re-flash the modem.bin file. Afterwards it immediately boot with the typical sound and IMEI was restored. Of course also Baseband Version and SIM Card was recognized and fully operational. (LTE Test with 90 MBit Download) :D

If you need the files, I can send you a PM because as a newbie to this forum it isn't allowed for me to repost the link to the corresponding thread.

The first post and the instructions in this thread here doesn't help me. :crying: First EFS Professional doesn't work on my Note 3 (also not on my Note 4). Cannot connect and came everytime up with some "SPC cannot be send" error. Then the ADB instructions break up with "file or folder cannot be found" on my Note 3. So it stays in its continues boot loop with no IMEI or Bandbase Version. :(:crying::(

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andriy U.:
Solved?

Excuse me, please, I do not want to criticize anybody ... but after quick reading whole thread I am very confused now.

I came to this thread from an other one: [IMEI][efs] SAMSUNG NOTE 3 EFS BACKUP/RESTORE ,

where mirek190 with a full energy has tried to convince people that making a backup of mmcblk0p11 is not enough to restore IMEI:

"Imei is in mmcblk0p13 and mmcblk0p12" [EFS Backup/Restore #275 ]

"I WAS TELLING MANY TIMES. NOT USING THIS PROGAM. IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS !!

On the qualcomm device you need program which get nv items from partitions 12 and 13 !!!!!" [EFS Backup/Restore #261 ]

I was wondering to see that mirek190 in his method (here) does not recommend to restore partitions 12 and 13 ("first try to skip...").

The title of this thread is marked as SOLVED and I hoped to find more or less clear guideline how to restore a soft bricked N9005.

Luckily, my Note is new (1 week) and it is not bricked yet (stock ROM 4.4.2, rooted, knox 0x0) and I want to be prepared.

As it was mentioned in the previous post, the links in the mirek190 post #1 are broken.

* multiupload.nl suggest to install "iLivid Download Manager" (no-go for me);

* mirek190's files (mega.co.nz) are no longer available.

Also, mirek190 post #432 "... I just went to the gsm shop and used box to activate network after all" confused me finally.

Does this short sentence describe situation now: if you bricked your Note 3 there is no way out. Just go to Service Center and ask them to repair.

Why do we need to follow instructions from post #1?

Can we save our time and nerves if finally recovering is not complete (mobile data connection will not work)?

Why the issue still marked as SOLVED?

If I understand correctly mirek190 is not "fighting" with the issue anymore.

May be I overlook something.

If somebody know how to prepare the backup of working (clean) Note 3 and, please, guide me (as not experienced in such things person) how to properly backup and restore later. Is it possible at all? If yes, can knox be kept as 0x0? If not, can CWM or TWRP recover bricked phone? Has anyone experience with recovering of soft bricked N9005 (without necessity to involve Service Center or buying ASB BOX)?

Sorry, if my post was too "aggressive".

With all my respect to mirek190 and other xda community members,

Andriy

Soft Bricked Solved

Hi,

First of all, I'd like to say that if you don't this stuff, don't try it. You'll regret! :P

Here's my story:

I bought Note 3 n9005 and after 3 weeks I update from 4.3 stock to 4.4.2 stock through ODIN, an error came EXT4 and my Note was soft bricked. I did everything right but didn't have enough knowledge about Note 3's partition directory.

It messed up the partition and EFS. Then I tried everything on XDA, Phone came to life but Network and IMEI / Baseband was not there. So couldn't use the phone for calls and such.

I tried everything and also went to repair shops, after testing for days. They couldn't repair it because Baseband was not working and IMEI can't be changed without Baseband.

I had an efs backup of partition 11 which you're stating. Using the same program EFS BACKUP.

It was a mess, it is not made for Note 3. It backup the wrong partition. EFS is in 12 and 13 partition.

Solution: I flashed stock rom from UAE and flashed 4.3 stock android's MODEM on 4.4.2.

Baseband came back to life, but imei was now "00", before that both of them were unknown.

Then I used Meriks method of writing IMEI from EFS PRO software, it worked and everything was normal in settings, IMEI, baseband, Serial. But STILL NO NETWORK, why ? because the NV_DATA partition was corrupt. And that can not be repaired without a BOX. I took it to a shop and repaired nv data with SPT box. 2G network is back.

Now the thing is, by using this method. Only one network could work, 2G or 3G. If you repair 3G with SPT, then 2G wont work, and so on.. I'm currently using 2G on Note 3 which is 4G capable :P

And this whole process of me finding this method took 30 - 40 days. Continuous research on the internet and uncountable roms and modems flashed..

After all this process, only software to completely backup the EFS partition is EFS PROFESSIONAL software: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/tool-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546

I hope that I do not break forum rules posting my remarks that are not directly related to the main topic of the thread.

[MENTION=5952603]MuhammadZeeshan7[/MENTION] Great to hear that you finally solved your problem.

You did not mentioned: what was your initial state before bricking, what was after and what is currently.

I am not sure that your way to recover Baseband: first to flash a stock UAE(?) ROM 4.4.2 and after that UAE modem 4.3 can be used by everyone, especially as me who starts from ROM 4.4.2 with DBK CSC. I have read, that downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 is not possible... and flashing modems for different regions may be not good too(?).

What will you do if similar brick will happen in the future? Will you repeat same procedure again or using EFS Pro backups & restore is better?

In any case thanks for sharing you story.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spatjoe:
For my case both 2G & 3G works. I borrowed this idea from a person who fixed his N9005 after using 3G mode only as 2G dint work. Refer here > http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f45...-unlock-2g-network-not-work-answered-1772298/

I did the following to repair network;

1. Select model SM-N900w8 on the box software and repair 3G. This fixes 2G but corrupts 3G.

2. Select model SM-N900T for your case use SM-N9005 and repair 3G. This repairs 3G with 2G intact.

All the best.

Hi one more time...

After did everything (before use Z3X box) to try to revive my N9005, I arrived here.

But I'm having some doubts and also needing some files from this tutorial.

- clean rom BASED ON 4.4.2 -> OK! I downloaded one.

- my pit file -> I need it.

- odin 3.09 -> OK! I downloaded one.

- samsung drivers -> Is the drivers installed with Kies?

- adb -> I think I need it.

- efs professional -> I can find with Google, but what version of this program?

- n9005-cwm-recovery FOR 4.4.2 -> Well, I have the most recent version. I think it will works.

- UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65 - Superuser http://www.multiupload.nl/ALFN3R16HY -> Well, I have the most recent version. I think it will works.

- and my files https://mega.co.nz/#!44A3FCiC!wqNyaD...KtNH6S64tP2mUY -> OK! This link is still alive.

-----

After saying what files I need. I also have some questions about this tutorial.

1. About this:

-

- install via Odin some clean rom and use pit file as well and check boxes in odin :

nand erase all,

Re-partition

Phone efs clear

-

1. Do I have to install the rom and pit file together and at same time?

2. The only boxes will be checked is "Nand Erase All", "Re-Partition" and "Phone EFS Clear"? And what about "Auto-Reboot" and "F-Reset Time"

3. "Phone EFS Clear" seeems to be inaccessible to check it. How can I check it?

-

- run adb commands :

4. Where I will run this commands? If In this step, I will be at recovery? And I will not have access to app "Terminal Emulator", for example?

-

But after try all of these things mentioned before. I'd like just try this last step called "BUT IT IS NOT READ BELOW:", cause my SN already is ok.

But with EFS Professional, I'm having some problems with "Connection Lost", "No COM Port Selected" etc., when I try NV Tools. But I can access EFS Professional to do the backup of partitions, for example. The problem is with NV Tools.

Dialing *#0808# I already tried all the functions. But having problem at same way...

I tried two versions of EFS Professional (EFS PROFESSIONAL 2.0.62) and (EFS_Professional_2.1.80_BETA) and I tried this program at Windows 10 and at Windows 7.

Well in Windows 7 I can "connect" NV Tools, but only when I select the COM PORT that isn't the same COM PORT that is plugged my Samsung device... Maybe it's why I can't write my IMEI.

A also tried 2 different cables, and all my USB COM ports...

And I don't know whats going wrong... Maybe it's cause I'm using Lollipop? And I have to use Kit Kat to NV Tools works?

Cause nothing seems to work... A lot of failed attempts... And a lot of doubts that I have that don't have been ansewered for nobody... This topic is my last hope... Thank you.
