[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MicrosoftBug:
Thanks for the advice Carl. I edited the script accordingly and the zip flashed but my phone is now in a continuous bootloop. I even went into stock recovery thinking clearing cache might help but it didn't. One thing I did notice is that stock recovery still says OC1. Any ideas?? I don't wanna flash my ROM all overa again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
it is the same recovery but wrong name. soon as I can pull the recovery from my phone I will update it. If you do the OTA as in my thread it would be the OC2, but in safestrap recovery installer for OC2 firmware, it basically only updated the modem.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MicrosoftBug:
Much appreciated Carl. What about the bootloop issue though? Dirty flashing my ROM saved the day but will this happen again?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Overgloc:
Carl would you happen to have just the OC2 modem flashable file?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:

God I hope someone answers this

This is the first time I'm posting on a forum about this problem, thought I could tackle it myself.

Turns out I was wrong.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A on eBay a couple weeks ago. I've been having a difficult time getting the phone to consistently read a sim card and provide steady service. I've researched a lot on this forum, droidviews, galaxynote3root, and so on.. and haven't been able to get it working. Though, I have at times been able to get service, including data. It's been intermittent and have repeated steps to try and get it working but they haven't worked. There are a few thing's I came across though that may help give me the right steps to fix this.

After a fresh tar file flash using Odin, the baseband is still unknown. I've tried this with a couple different versions such as NC2 (the one I can flash with), NL1 and OC1. I read somewhere that this means the modem file is corrupt, so I flashed the corresponding modem, and tried different ones. This is where I would sometimes have a working phone and sometimes not.

This is so confusing and there's a lot of information I could right on here but I'm really just looking for someone to help me fix this because its so frustrating. I could return it and I might, but my other phone has a cracked screen and lets not go there..

**The most interesting thing that's happening is after a "successful" flash at times the phone will have service, maybe for a very short time or even overnight.

PLeeeeaaaaasseeeee help:(:(:(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
have you tryed flashing the NC2 firmware and selecting format and using a pit file
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sublim3style3:
How would using a pit file help? Have you succeeded with this before?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sublim3style3:
Ok so I figured something out. The phone is sensitive to USB debugging mode. Why? I'd really like to know.. it works at times when it's on, and times when it's off. Though whenever it decides which option it will select, the other option won't work. I've confirmed this yesterday and again today by changing whether USB debugging is on or off and immediately seeing a change.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
When you select pit file it automatically selects the format box and reformats according to the pit file. If after you install the 4 separate firmware files with the pit file and you see no baseband then your phone is bad.

N900a modem issue

Hey carl1961, its been some time and I moved on to an LG G3 D850. Though, I still have the phone that is collecting dust. I was wondering if you know how to read a bug report? It just randomly detected a problem with service and asked if I wanted to take a bug report. I took it but its like gibberish to me. I would appreciate it if you vouldtake a look at it real quick and maybe see why it's doing this.

Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
post your bug report and someone may know what it means. did or does the error occur from using any particular app
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sublim3style3:
Here is the bug report. The error has no known signals as to why this is happening. I've tried using odin with individual files including the pit file. You mentioned that if I use the pit file to partition it that the phone is bad. I understand that is a possibility, but perhaps you or someone else would be able to look at the bug report and find the bug for the modem.

Thanks!

Don't get me to lying. I haven't messed with a Note in a long time but I would go back and forth between OC1 and this version of NC2 when I wanted better Safestrap support.

Not sure what H20 is, but it's been my experience that when using an unlocked phone on a different carrier, I've always had to use the model modems: ATT on TMO I would have to use an ATT modem, etc..

My Note imei null and baseband Unknow in version 5.0 lollipop OC1.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sublim3style3:
There are a couple things I can say. First and foremost, I highly suggest ditching the phone. As much as people can give you info and advice on this topic, it's been noted in the past that this phone went to **** when it gets rooted. I had a very similar problem with this phone (on straight talk too) but I purchased it on eBay. The unlock icon I believe means the bootloader has been unlocked, which is a precursor to rooting. If you've tried odin with the PIT file with no avail, then bail. The LG G5 is what im about to get and it's going for less than $250 on ebay. Just make sure you get one that is new and not used. Or choose another. Check phone specs at www.phonearena.com. There are some really nice phones out now, one being the oneplus 3t. Also look leaving straight talk. They suck. Look into metro pcs.

Best of luck brother.

I have a theory... Going to test it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
What determines which modem I can/need to flash on my device? My baseband is mj5.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:
LEt me check. One minute.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

NB4 is working.

I am also noticing that I cannot hold LTE on NC2 while inside my house. I am not liking that modem too much.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Walter.White:
That's weird. NC2 is working perfectly for me. After flashing NC2 my dBm has lowered and asu has increased which is a good thing.

So you are telling me ONLY MI1 and MI9 are not working? Can you try them one more time?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:
I've flashed them 10+ times each. Even Re-downloaded and made my own. They both do exactly the same thing.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Each modem will work differently in different areas. Also, I am using a ROM with an international base. They tend to not have the greatest of speeds with modems from AT&T.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Walter.White:
Alright I'll try to reupload/fix MI1 and MI9 modems soon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:
I think it might be bootloader related... To keep people from downgrading the modem to use Chainfires region away to network unlock the device

Not sure. I know that people who had done regionlock away on MI9 and then upgraded to MLG modem still had unlocked sim.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Thanks for letting me know. If I upgraded, can I downgrade back to MI9 after you fixed ?

Long boot.

No signal.

Baseband listed as "unknown". Happens when I package it myself as well.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

MI1

Long boot time.

no signal.

Baseband listed as "unknown"

Both MI1 and MI9 do exactly what the were doing before.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Walter.White:
I think the problem is not with the modems. But I have feeling that Samsung blocked downgrade to MI9 and MI9 to prevent people from using RegionLock Away.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:
Exactly what I said in an earlier post.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
I guess I will stay with MI9. Working fine for me but just wish sometimes I get better signal and speed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:
You can flash up from, not down to MI9... Are you on MI9 firmware or just baseband?

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Walter, maybe we can find out what is blocking it and break that.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
I'm on MI9 firmware and MLG baseband. Opps look at it wrong.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Walter.White:
Can't because its the actual boot.img (kernel) and I could patch it to accept the MI9 and MI1 modem but that would break its hash and since our BL is locked we can't have custom kernel. Only kernel signed by Sammy work on our devices.

So at the end of the day.. only people with MI9 and below boot.img's will be able to use those modems.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:
There has got to be something that can read that key. All software is crackable. Even if there is a hardware block, there is a back door. If not then Samsung and AT&T are wasting devices that get "bricked/broken"

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

And the excuse that they "lock us out to avoid brick returns" is crap. It's easier to brick now than it was before. I remember back in the Captivate days when I was doing the unbrickable mod. I made money from that and saved AT&T and Samsung a bunch of money in warranty fraud replacements.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:
NC2 is doing much better now. I normally have 1 or 2 bars (LTE) 107dbm 38asu right outside my house, now I'm sitting here with 3 constant bars 100dbm and 40asu. Inside it stays about the same when it used to drop to H and H+ I'f I was lucky.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
There is no way of telling which modem is better than the other. You just have to try it out yourself. Depending on the area and signal strength, your result will be different than others.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hipporun:
Will finding the right modem fix my connectivityservice wakelock?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] faslane:
Thank you. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
It might. Do you have good signal at your place? Is your phone getting same signal as any other phone in your house? A modem can help or potentially make it worse with the signal. If you found a modem that gives you better stronger signal then the connectivity service wakelocks should go away.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] graydiggy:

Had better reception...

My wife has the latest stock version and she doesn't seem to get as good reception as I do, at least here in New Jersey.

(she won't let me touch her phone to root and etc, LOL)

But mine is on 4.3 MI7 and I seem to have better reception...she regrets upgrading and would allow me to change at least the modem.

My skills at this is probably limited to just extracting the modem.bin file :silly:, wouldn't know how to make a safe odin tar...

I think I can just flash it with all ticks off, put into PHONE (in 3.07) and just flash it...but heard there's two parts, NHPLOS or something like that...modems are just not my thing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Walter.White:
Alright do this to backup your current Modem.bin.

1. Open Terminal and type the following.

su

mkdir /sdcard/ModemBackup

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/ModemBackup/modem.bin
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] WackyJoe:
No second file?

Ah ha, yes...so there's no need for that NWHAT.bin file?

Heard that it might have something to do with LTE, not sure how true that is.
