[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustCinek1:
Hello folks!

I had a problem on which I was sitting 3 days to solve it. Finally I did, and as I promised, I am going to write a guide for You to step-by-step recover Your phone to life.

Below You can check, what exactly we are going to fix. It is a problem description wrote by me.

Hello guys.

I am really tired of looking for a fix for my problem. I am asking for help rarely and today is that day that I need your fast help with fixing my phone.

So...

I wanted to create a backup of 2 partitions - modemst1 and modemst2.

I have used the command "reboot nvbackup" - phone restarted, but no files created in backup and restarted already without IMEI code, and then I realized that phone is not recognizing SIM card.

First thing I have thought of - okay, lets reflash this thing. That's what I did, never with a success. I have tried flashing the original Samsung software into my phone, no help.

Tried to enter to service mode to fix it - nope - just blank window with rows, probably because SIM is not recognized.

Full wipe? Didn't help. Busybox and GSII_Repair neither.

Then by browsing root stuff I found out that I am missing 2 files:

- /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

- /dev/block/mmcblk0p11

I think that might be a problem which needs to be fixed. (I have tried to backup those two files, with no success, and as it seems, I have probably deleted the accidentally)

I was thinking if someone can back those blocks up and send the images to me so I can somehow recover those two files (Lollipop)

I have no backup of EFS folder.

I have tried to flash the modem.bin from stock firmware, no luck, no fix.

So I am looking for help from you guys, you are my last hope to get that thing fixed.

Problems to fix:

No SIM detected

No GSM signal

Unknown Modem version

Null IMEI

Missing files in /dev/block folder

EDIT: I promise that I will create a guide if I will fix it. But I need to fix it by tomorrow.

Serious stuff. My phone turned into tablet. I'm not going to add anything more. Let's get to work - but remember, any even more serious damage that you can do to your phone is not my responsibility!

What You will need - I was not able to post links due to having less than 10 posts

Newest Samsung Firmware - Sammobile

Newest TWRP Recovery - TWRP Website

Note 3 PIT file - 32GB version (Lollipop version)

CF Auto Root Kit - yes, your Knox will be tripped - ChainFire website

BLK files (17 and 18) - Going to add them here when I will have 10 posts

Newest ODIN - DroidViews webiste

Terminal - Google Store

KIES

If you cannot find PIT file for your Note 3 - you need to have already rooted phone

Method 1

Install Terminal and Busybox from Google Play store

Run Terminal

Execute these commands:

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/SM-N9005PITJustCinek1.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176

Plug your phone to computer through USB

Copy the SM-N9005PITJustCinek1.pit file from your internal storage to your PC

Method 2

Install Android SDK on your computer

On your phone, go to Settings->Developer options and enable USB Debugging

On your computer, click CTRL+R and type cmd, click Enter

Connect your phone to computer through USB

In CMD window, type these commands:

adb devices

It should show that your phone is connected. If not - plug your phone to other USB port or reinstall KIES

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/SM-N9005PITJustCinek1.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176

Copy the SM-N9005PITJustCinek1.pit file from your internal storage to your PC

Let's get to work

Backup your all personal files - we are going to delete them

Pull out the SD card if you have one

Go to TWRP

Make a full wipe - System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Internal Storage

Reboot to Download mode

Plug your phone into computer by USB

Open ODIN

Go to Options tab and make sure that Auto reboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update are checked

Go to PIT tab and click PIT button

Point on the PIT file you have for Your Note 3

Start flashing original Samsung firmware from Sammmobile

After flash is done, let the phone reboot and load, fill the settings on phone, get to the Home screen

Enter Download mode again

Flash CFAutoRoot package and wait until it will reboot again to the system and you will see home screen on your phone

Enter Download mode once again

Flash TWRP recovery again and wait until it will reboot to the system and you will see home screen on your phone

Copy both mmcblk0p17 and mmcblk0p18 file to your internal storage

Download Terminal from Google Play store

Enter to Terminal and execute those two commands:

dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p17 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p18 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

After successfully executing those commands, restart your phone

It will load for a long time - but wait patiently

If it will show you that system stopped working - click OK. It should give you black screen. Restart the phone again.

If it will show you the error again, go back to step 22

After system is successfully loaded, you should have your baseband and signal back.
