[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
I've followed all the steps till before Hex editing the serial number. I'm on 4.4.2 . But still I got Unknown Baseband. Phone booted normally. Then I tried your old files which also contains mmcblk0p11. After that device went into a bootloop, Reflashed stock 4.4.2 BTU firmware. Boots normally but still : Baseband UNKNOWN. Mirek , please help :crying:

Also, I used your old PIT file.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
After trying once more, I got a not enough memory in device error with one of the commands. Now the phone always boots to odin and says "could not boot normally"

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
Yes that worked. But I can't seem to fix my baseband whatsoever I try. Also why am I getting out of memory warnings when running the if commands in shell ?

Currently I'm on CM 11
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirek190:
Because you write blocks in wrong place not replacing them.

Any update bro for the block 11
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
Yes Mirek, I thought so. Nevertheless , I ran the commands like you mentioned. How can I find the bad copies? run a grep search?

EDIT: I am dumb. I ran the wrong commands :silly: . Did the whole process again. Baseband still Unknown. I have a X-Note 4.3 backup from when my baseband was working (without efs partition backup). Let me know if that can help. Now I'm on 4.4

Note 3 SM-N900 Null IMEI

My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 is not detecting the Sim Card, I noticed that I have an Unknown Baseband Version and as well an unknown IMEI.

The phone is rooted and using VN Rom V13.1

Usually when that happened on other phones it was because your param partition was corrupted. Flash a good param from a working device and see if that helps.

did you find the solution of imei cert ????????????

answer plz @ mirek
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirek190:
No.

I tried everything and the only solution is to use a box to fully activate Sim card.

But to broke imei so bad is almost in normal way impassable.

I broke because I mannually remove blocks 12 and 13 ( imei) .

Block 11 ( efs) can be rebuild from 12 and 13.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
If all the blocks get screwed and imei is lost , can a box still fix it ? I mean do the boxes work with 4.4.2 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirek190:
Just use my all blocks and repair imei by using a box.

I was using box on 4.3 on 4.4 should be the same I think.

Unfortunately using your blocks did not bring back my baseband.Its still unknown.

Today I went to the shop where they have spt box. But they said that original imei cant be restored but Super imei (fake) can be done. So I refused to do that.

I check on 2 of my laptops running win 7 64bit. But can't connect with EFS PRO, in RMNET mode.

You and I almost same story except my 4.3 ROM was HongKong, but not sure...

Finally i follow yours, installed latest HongKong ROM 4.4.2 and then extracted 4.3 hongkong stock ROM modem.bin file with winrar. Install it with odin. root, su, busybox install vs vs. finally open efsPro working backup etc work fluently. But finally when i open NV toos then .ucked !!

SPC code rejected by phone :((

I tried with MJ1 modem too, but still same and result still imei null/null and baseband unknown

What should i do ? Any advice ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadZeeshan7:
You have baseband: unknown after flashing 4.3 modem ?

I think my Stock 4.3 was HK too, when I flashed 4.4.2 , I got ext4 error, then I flashed with 32gb International Pit file, not HK version.

Then My phone was accepting all the european roms, but baseband was not working, So I got MJ1 modem from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475714

Then I flashed this BTU rom: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26476

After that baseband was unknown as usual, So I flashed MJ1 modem TWICE from the previous link, in ODIN.

Put MJ1.tar file in CP or Phone in Odin and untick Auto reboot, then flash it, after PASS, remove battery and again download mode.

Odin with modem again with auto reboot ticked.

And baseband is alive. then you can root, busybox then EFS PRO and NV TOOLS will work. (If your baseband is fine, otherwise no)

That's what I did. But still having problem with connecting 2G, 3G network is fine.

If your baseband is find, you can just write your original IMEI on phone with EFS PRO, method in 1st post.

After that you can repair network with box. If the network doesn't work already

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadZeeshan7:
I wasn't able to change serial number.

Repair network by selecting N900W8 model, then repair again with selecting N9005 model.

After repairing. If network doesn't work, Repair NV data with spt box.

Did for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hosamkrm:
Did you mean selecting model n900w8 with box

Or can you more explain plz
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadZeeshan7:
This is the answer I got from another forum:

Reboot phone with uart and type *#7284# select modem after plug in usb type *#0808# select dm-adb-modem then reboot device press repair 3g with usb!

If you have the box yourself, you can research about it. But if you're gonna get it done from shop, you just have to show this method to repairer.

Ask him to do this method twice by choosing different models. First n900w8 then n9005. After that Repair NV with spt. if network is not working after repair.

RESTORING SN - SEIAL NUMBER :

- we need HxD Hex Editor http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

- and need mmcblk0p11

- open mmcblk0p11 in HxD Hex Editor go to adres ( offset ) edit -> choose block -> 602000 - you should find RF000000000 - replace with your proper SN.

- go to recovery again - mounts and storage

mount system

mount extended sd card

- put USB cable to computer

- run adb commands :

adb shell

su

dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0p11 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

- wait 30 sec and put out the battery.

- Now your SN should be ok.

If your IMEI number is ok - finish

- 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.

I did many times till restoring serial no and imei... My phone never lost serial number. sticker serial no and phone info serial no are same. on the other i would like to try s/n steps but there is no blobk 11 and couldnot copy from phone evenworking n9005.

On the other hand when i pass this step for last part restoring imei :

EFS pro always shows an error messages that " SPC rejecsted by phone "

Finally i flash btu ng1 stock rom but i could not flash 4.3 modem on it to check. even i flash 2 times modem , Odin always says PASS but actually phone still have NG1 modem. I think flashing 4.3 modem on NG1 stock is impossible...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadZeeshan7:
If you're having Baseband: Unknown, that means you don't have a modem install.

If you dial *#1234# and If you can see CP over there, then it means that you have installed modem.

If you don't see CP then you do not have any modem. I was having the same problem. I flashed NG2, NG1 modem. still unknown baseband. But then I was able to install 4.3 modem because NG2 modem was not installed properly. If it was installed then I would not be able to install 4.3 modem.

SPC rejected error is due to unknown baseband, because if your modem is not working, you cant connect with NV Tools.

I had same error. After baseband, it worked fine.
