It's basic, libsec-ril.so is for sim card.

If your sim card is working before download Lineage OS you simply no need to download baseband/upgrade modem.

1.Need Root device

Example Magisk, SuperSU

2.Need Root File Manager

Example Root Explorer

3.Replace this file

Root/System/Lib/libsec-ril.so

0.How to get working sim card libsec-ril.so ?

-Find Lineage OS previous version that can make your sim card exist in your phone.

-Flash rom to that old version.

-Go to Root/System/Lib/ and backup libsec-ril.so

-Flash rom to new version and go to step 3 to replace file

-Turn Airplane mode on off, if not working reboot.

Or you can use this link to download libsec-ril.so

drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Z3Yq1NlXEfeEVlaFcxSGVXR0U/view?usp=drivesdk

Im sure file in that link is working for all note3 hlte if not please go to step 0

If you find anyone got problem like this, please help them, spread the solution.

Congrats Lineage OS team, for messed up basic thing in phone.

Permission denied.

That because admin access only RO(read only) in Root/system/lib

lib folder need to change to RW(read write)

You need follow my step for it to work, my step not using twrp, you need root explorer or any file manager that can change lib folder to RW.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenberkvens:
Update modem and baseband, do not replace libraries

It shouldn't be fixed by replacing a library: the real problem is that your modem and baseband versions are too old. You need to update them. My Note3 was increasingly having trouble connecting to LTE networks before I installed LineageOS (I was on CyanogenMod a long time). After the baseband and modem updates (which you don't get automatically anymore if you install a custom ROM), that's working like a charm again, and the missing SIM problem is gone too, with LineageOS builds working out of the box.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysathor:
Works!

Hi,

I replaced

root/system/lib/libsec-ril.so

by the old version of Cyanogmenod 13. Not

SIM and GPS

works again.

What I did:

- extract libsec-ril.so from my TWRP backup (using RAR)

- boot into TWRP recovery, overwrite file

Thank you very much!!! :D

i will try [MENTION=5503863]svenberkvens[/MENTION] suggestion and update the modem and baseband

EDIT:

sorry, can't post links :( , replace DOTs and remove spaces

so i followed the instructions from https://jira DOT lineageos DOT org/browse/REGRESSION-773?focusedCommentId=17429&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-17429 (lineage jira website) to update the modem and sim works now without replacing the libsec-ril.so file.

pasting the instructions here

I'm on mac and I used heimdall-frontend, detailed instructions follow:

- download latest version from https:// github DOT com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/releases (heimdall git)

- extract and open in terminal

- `cd Heimdall-1.4.2`

- follow https://raw DOT githubusercontent DOT com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/master/OSX/README.txt (build instructions) from the bottom of the README, pasted below and modified slightly (specifies LIBRARY_PATH and puts the app in the Applications folder)

brew install libusb qt5 cmake

Note 3 Sim Card not detected

Hey,

Ive the same problems with my Sim detection now, it stopped working after updating to the latest Nightly 07-11. However, even using an old Nandroid Backup (where SIM worked) doesnt work, flashing another ROM also didnt fix the problem. (tried Dirty Unicorns, Lineage from mid 2017, Resurrection) I also tried flashing a new modem but the problem persisted. Im not too experienced with all that Android stuff and would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!

Have you made any Process with this Prob?

I really should have checked the comments before flashing but who is expecting a Problem is even getting worse then before when an official app is offering an update ? doesn't the dev of this build has any channel to contact him or her? Thanks.

Solved

So for everybody that ran into this issue....

There is a solution hidden in the depths of the net.

Simply grab the following file:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmCNiDoyEHththrWbctwIzHYWAv-

Shut down your Phone and keep it shut down for a minute.

Open Download Mode (power + volume down + home)

Start Odin and load the File under the AP Tab

Start Flash

After reboot your Sim should be detected

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastian79hl:
After I ran into this problem yesterday I searched for about 2 hours. This firmware was in a thread in the lineages bug forum... Somebody posted this solution there and provided the file. Unfortunately this "bug board" isn't easily found or maybe because the Problem is to new... Anyway if you want I can search it in the History and post the Link. Great it helps cause there are people (like me) that still use there Note 3 daily and after the official app pushed the update I just did it and ended up with a none working phone... There were people complaining 3 days ago and it would have been easy to post a link to the solution... But obviously no one cares so I did... No offense or Disrespect to the Dev (I really appreciate your work!) of this build but like I wrote, posting a link to the solution is a 2 sec thing....

Thx anyway. Hope it helps out a lot of people.

3. Remove the battery.

4. Insert the battery and download mode.

5. Repeat flash "N9005XXSGBQD5_N9005XXUGBPB1_Baseband_Firmware.tar.md5".

Latest modem for N900K.

Hi everyone, my Galaxy Note 3 is a Korean version purchased in the UK. It has the same Snapdragon processor like the N9005 European version does contrary to what it is written online. Since my bootloader and download mode are Korean I can't seem to be able to flash the latest Nordic modem. I can not find a newer modem / baseband for my particular bootloader. The Resurrection Remix from 25 of October 2017 by vidwhal is the latest version that I can flash. Screen shots below. I appreciate any help you can give.

any issue when you tried to latest nordic modem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trandafirmd:
Yes, Odin fails to flash it displaying the “apn hlos“ error. I guess that this is because it is the N900K variant. It's extremely annoying because that is the only difference from the N9005 International version. If only there was a way to somehow flash the international bootloader or otherwise trick the bootloader into accepting the latest Nordic modem / baseband designed for N9005. Perhaps someone that knows how to do it can add N900K compatibility to this modem.

I fixed it...

Hi all

I have had this problem.

I am running a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (hlte) which I'd been using CM14 trader418 on it, and I decided to change it to Lineage. After I flashed it on my phone, it didn't detect simcard.

I flashed 2 version of this ROM : 20180117 and 20180124. Both didn't detect simcard.

After so many searches in internet, I found that I had to update my Bootloader (BL) and Baseband (CP).

First of all you should install "Phone INFO ★Samsung★" LINK. This app tells your current Baseband and BootLoader and suggests update of them and then you should find and download them in this site : LINK

This App shown me that my phone were made in Vietnam and suggested me to flash bootloader that belongs to United Arab Emirates (PDA:N9005XXSGBQD5 and CSC:N9005OJVGBPF1)

Now you should do...

1-Download Odin 3.12 : LINK

2-Pull the battery out, wait a minute, hold down vol down, power and home to get it to download mode and connect the phone to PC.

3-Flash the downloded file with AP.

4-5-6-7-8-9...:D-BE PATIENT PLEASE...

After 10 minutes if your phone stuck in Samsung Logo, pull the battery out and go to recovery mode (Vol. up+Power+Home) and wipe data/factory reset+ wipe cache partition and reboot again...

Note that if you had previously flashed custom recovery, now it return to Factory recovery...

Now you have Official Rom with new BL and CP.

1-Get custom recovery (e.g TWRP or CWM or ...).

2-Flash it with Odin or Install their App on Google Play and then Install recoverys with their procedures...

3-Flash Lineage OS (every version that you want).

All Done...

Sorry for my bad english

with best regards

SM-N9005 new type of problem

Hi everyone,

I stumbled upon this thread after I installed lineage OS and got the issue. The modem flash fixed it, at least at first. After around 4 days of fixing it, my Internet data wouldn't work, so I restarted my phone, and got the no SIM problem again. This time though it wouldnt be fixed. I thought it was the antenna after countless flashes of different modems, that didn't seem to be the problem though. So, I thought my efs file was corrupted and I flashed back stock firmware 5.0 and the problem was gone.

I later installed Lineage again, but this time I made sure I back up the efs as well as the modem using twrp. After installing lineage I got the no sim issue, so I tried to first fix it the casual way, i.e. use the modem update flash that was suggested here, but it didn't do anything!!!( i made sure with PHONEINFO that it sticked) So, I restored the efs and the modem that I backed up from stock using twrp. The problem still persisted. An interesting thing that I noticed is that there was no "lib-sec" file in the library folder. Placing the file uploaded by op didnt fix it. So i had to go back to stock in order to get my network back.

My phone region is XSI ( United arab emirates). Also, the imei is null when the problem happens, as well as there are no CSC or PDA Versions displayed on PHONEINFO. Please help!!!I can't stand 5.0.....:(:(:(:(:(:(

Working solution lineage-14.1-20180301-nightly-hlte-signed.zip

Just download the file libsec-ril.so

Rename it as libsec-ril.gsm.so

Locate with root explorer or similar the file in your note 3 in :

Root/vendor/system/lib/libsec-ril.gsm.so

And rename it as libsec-ril.gsm.so.old or however you want. You will need writting permissions to do that.

Copy your previously download file you rename before and copy to the place.

Immediately you will get sim working on.

But I want lineage OS... I copied libsec-ril.so and libsecril-client from this image and installed it on the lineage OS but not working...

My baseband is N9005XXUGBOJ2

Any idea ? What am I suppose to copy from the official samsung image to make it work ?
