[Q] "Not registered on network" error. *PLEASE HELP* - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday, my phone just decided it didn't want to be connected to a network anymore. I was running DynamicKat ROM. It just happened out of nowhere and continues today. I've tried flashing different ROMS and they install fine, but I still can't register to a network. I believe I need to update the modem, but I'm not sure. I'm currently on baseband version ANK4, but I think I need to update to BOC4. Does this sound correct? Any advice would be great, and if you might point me in the direction of any files needed it would be greatly appreciated as well. No need to link, but just a general section where I could find the files would be helpful as I seem to have little luck with the search function here. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Ehhh... Nevermind. It just started working again. I can't explain it. Suddenly I was connected again.

Always a good idea to check your APN settings if you are in a known coverage area with a new ROM. Been my problem 90 percent of the time

Funny you mention this as I run the same ROM and have had this occur to me whilst traveling around my area and in and out of T-Mobile "Dead Spots" which seem to be many...
Even called T-Mobile to report and best they could tell me is go into "More Networks-Mobile Networks-Network operators" and select - Select automatically.
A real PITA when you driving down the road and need to call out or re-connect your call with someone.
Note: I've had numerous issues on different ROMS similar to this so I pretty much blame T-Mobile and their service in my area unless someone else can chime in, I would be curious...

I had a similar problem on DK, except that it was unmounting my sim card completely & I had to reboot to get it working again. Happened every hour or so, very frustrating. I tried a different rom & the issue went away, so it's definitely something funky with DK which makes me sad cause that's my favorite rom.
I just reflashed it last night though & I took the precaution of completely reflashing ANK4 through Odin and redoing root & TWRP too, then flashing DK like normal. So far, so good(and it seems to have fixed the battery life issues I was having as well, yay), so you might try that method & see if it helps for you too. But be sure to back up your internal storage first cause odin WILL wipe it. Learned this the hard way, bye-bye all my pictures & titanium backups :/
Files I used can be found here.. BOC4 is for LP, so you should be fine with ANK4.

Try some troubleshooting first.
Reset your Access Point/Router, or try a different router/ap. Flash back to 100% stock and do a "master clear".
I also find it useful to clear out the /efs partition after returning to Samsung ROMs after using CyanogenMod. Of course ONLY do this after you have a tested and safely stored a backup of your current "nv_data.bin" file. You have been warned.
Take out your battery and just let your phone chill for a few hours. That sometimes helps too.
Anyway, if after a complete flash to stock and master clear, and some troubleshooting with different access points you still get no WiFi signal, something may be wrong with your hardware...
From there you might either need to send it into a Samsung service center, or find a very technically minded XDA member to help you further. Good luck!

[Q] Wifi & battery issues on imilka's cm9

Hi folks,
I can't post in the dev section so I'm hoping someone can answer here instead. Searched imilka's thread but couldn't find anything that helped me. Wipe & reflash has worked for others but not me.
Wifi doesn't work for me. It worked when I activated it in the setup wizard after flashing the rom but after the first reboot it doesn't present me with any networks and it doesn't connect to the one I configured. I know the wifi device works because the mac address is identified in the status menu.
Also, battery time isn't very good. Less than half remains after being fully charged then left alone over night.
I have tried a full wipe & re-flash and also flashed the last version released yesterday. Does anyone have any tips or do I just wait for a new version? Seems weird that it works for everyone else.

Indeed, I didn't come accross any of these problems... I don't know what to say mate, might have something to do from whatever ROM you came from, some kernel remnants...but again, that's just guessing...
What I'd do in a situation like this would be to revert to a stock GB, use jBroid's kernel cleaner, and then try to reflash Chainfire's repack and back to CM. That's just what I'd do...
I'd try to do a factory reset first. That way you'll get another chance to setup your WiFi from scratch and see what transpires. If it fails, it's back to basics, most probably. Rooted GB --> ICS Repack --> CM9.
It's such a hassle to reinstall everything again.
I'm downloading a stock rom now and I'm going to try flashing the modem partition. Perhaps the modem in the chainfire repack I flashed before is not 100% compatible with my phone... Otherwise I'll just have to stick to mobile data.
Flashing modem made no difference so it's something with the ROM. Luckily I have a good data plan so I'll just leave it and see what happens in the versions to come. If anyone has an idea, feel free to let me know.
And thanks for your answers guys.
Suddenly it all works. Thank you Google. You're swell!

Networks detected but will not register

So I had some escapades today, I had my SGS running jellybean, then I tried to change the screen density and bang, bootloop. I panicked and after some odin fiddling managed to get it booting Darky using odin. I was in a room with no signal at the time so I thought nothing of not having any signal, even so I then went ahead and used recovery to reinstall my Jellybean rom since that's a bit nicer than the 2.3 Darky.
Long and the short of it is, I can search for networks in my options and it will find them, but when I tell it to connect to one it says "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later"
I have tried later and surprise surprise it didn't work. I have tried installing a different radio, clearing the dvalik cache and fixing permissions as well as a few other things. Please can anyone suggest something, this seems to be a very uncommon scenario and it's stressing me out that I can't find any solutions.

Yeah I've checked them and unfortunately they all seem to be in order still, though there are a lot more settings than any website offers things to put in them
same problem
i am having this same problem on all cyanogenmod 7,9,10. i have tried many radio and modem flashes. i can scan and see networks, but i can never connect to them.
have you made any progress?
Problem is EFS folder which tends to do with IMEI.
To fix it you need to copy the backup EFS folder from your SDCARD to the root of your device. (/)
If you don't have a backup you'll have to ODIN back to stock and re-root....etcetera

thx
thank you for the response. I put it back to stock lastnight before bed so i will give this a try.
i have the gti9000m from bell in canada. I updated it through kies to 2.3.3 gingerbread and it all went badly. It would boot up and load to the os be on for a bit then reset. It turned out to be wifi problem, running it on airplane mode stopped it from rebooting. Then if i tried to turn on wifi it would quickly reboot.
So then i tired all the cyanogenmods, which worked it stopped rebooting all the time. however the wifi would connect and work for about a minute then it would drop. doing the
1.turnOn gps
2.turnOn wifi
3. turnOff gps
this would let the wifi work again for about a minute. I tried all the wifi fixer apk, and a bunch of wifi.zip mods, and then ping the router gateway constantly, none solved this problem. Very annoying because i need the wifi working for develpoment of apps. I have spent a great many hours on this problem. lots of people seam to have this problem but no solutions have wokred for me.
So, my questions are....
1. does your wifi work?
2. how the heck do i get mine to work?
back to stock
After going back to stock then upgrading connecting to network operators is fine.
wifi is still broken though

[Q] Since 4.3 update, No data with custom Roms

Good evening,
Since updating my HTC One Sprint to Android 4.3, none of the custom Roms I flash have a data connection. The Stock ROM works fine rooted but Cyanogenmod 4.3 has no data. Tried fiddling with the network settings but no luck there.
The Data shows ON but the radio is not. No matter what I try, I cannot get data to work.
I tried Carbon Rom 4.3 tonight , that loaded and set up my phone automatically which I found very strange, but it too had no data. It appears to work just fine but just as with CM , there is no data connection. It appears that although DATA is turned on, the radio itself is off.
Has anyone else experienced this affliction? Any idea how to resolve?
To get to this point, I did return to stock to flash the 4.3 update from Sprint, then re-rooted the phone, found I had to change TWRP to the Newer version before I could complete that process.
The latest version of TWRP does not work as well by any stretch and won't let me flash from USB Flash Drive but does to the minimum required save the freeze if you leave it sitting in Recovery too long.
The main trouble is I can't use anything but the Stock Rooted Rom since not of them support data in 4.3. I suppose I could use the 4.3 versions although I am a bit afraid to even try that.
Is this just me, did I miss something in the un-root, re-root process?
Also, still have S-Off
Thanks for your time

Did you try putting the phone in global mode? Also, when you say no data do you mean no data or no service (no voice + no data)?

Hello, I have tired all of the network modes and nothing seems to work.
Voice and Text work fine, it's just Data that won't connect yet I have a good signal.
I have attached screen shots of the CM Rom, everything seems to be in order, data enabled except it says the Mobil Network State Disconnected. Can't find any way to turn it back on. Tried to cycle airplane mode on and off but no change.
I had no trouble until I installed 4.3 from Sprint. Now only sprint works. I hopefully attached screen prints of the phone. All seems in order but data is not working.
Thanks for taking a look again!

Thank you for your input, I tired the code and could see it was not connected but could not make it change despite trying other settings . Just downloaded the lasted CM nightly, installed clean as new ROM, not over existing version and at least for now, Data including LTE is back. Still not sure of the trouble because it worked the first time I loaded it as well but stopped working in the middle of the day. Very strange indeed.
Could not find the the hidden Menu as the DEV above provided me so I hope what ever it was resolved itself.
Thanks again for your support and advice, it is greatly appreciated!!
I guess I will post here again in a few days so anyone that catches this knows what's up. Wish me LUCK!!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time, although I did not have any luck finding that menu with the voice dialer, not sure what that issue is but wanted to say thanks again here. As I said on other post, the latest nightly from CM installed as brand new ROM fixed it for now. It worked for about a half a day the first time and suddenly stopped working for now apparent reason. I guess I will see what happens for a few days.

Since 4.3 update, No data with custom Roms
Well, to give everyone an update, I had no luck with the suggestions , Voice Dialer did not recognize prompts. I did return to the Stock Rooted Rom and updated my PLR, when I returned to Cyanogenmod Rom it seemed to resolve the issue of working for a short while and then loosing data. I next Tried the AOPK Rom and that worked like a charm, no issues at all. I really like this Rom for HTC One, so I will most likely stick with this for a while.
I did try to install the 4.3 Version of Carbon Rom but don't you know, no data. No matter what I try, I show Data disconnected. I am just totally confused by this since some work and some don't. The AOPK rom has been working for a couple of days now so I am assuming it will continue.
Thanks again for everyone's input, I am willing to try other things but not going to worry about it since I like the AOPK rom just fine. Hopefully I don't get board with it.
Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting on my issue, I never found a solution but did fine after I updated my PLR on the HTC one,. it seems to have helped some although I really can't be sure. AOPK worked right away after that so might want to give that a try if available for your phone! Good luck mate!!

Good day/evening!
Thank you very much for checking.
You know, I never felt like I found a solution except that the Rom was not quite right for my phone . I had similar experiences some new 4.3 ROMS and then others were fine.
In the end, all of the Roms now work after a release or two from the initial 4.3 versions. Right now, I am using Android Revolution 3.62.401.1 just updated for Sprint recently and for now. it seems to have all of the mods I am looking for.
I may never know exactly what caused the data drops outs but it does seem to be related to initial releases since the affliction has disappeared on all Roms now.
Hey, I really do appropriate you checking in!..
Have a great rest of the day!

Same Issue
Gents,
Same issue for me. I'm not able to flash any custom ROM that are AOSP based. If I flash Android Rev. HD then LTE\Data connection works just fine, AOKP, CM, Carbon.....No Data Connections at all. Funny thing is that at one time, it was working just fine, then poof! Just stopped. I've tried the above steps, except for the PLR trick, to no avail. If I may, what is PLR and how does one go about updating it please? =) Maybe this will work for me. Google wasn't very helpful with this search term...
Thanks!

[Q] Help with GPS N7000 with Android Kit Kat

My Galaxy Note was with ROM SlimSaber 4.4.2 and the gps was not working. Then I put Cyanogenmod 11 but the problem continues.
Someone who has any of these two Rom is facing this problem?

Strange, I've formatted the Note, put the rom Slimsaber and Cyanogenmod 10.2 and gps still not working. I am using GPS Test and Sygic for try to capture the satellites but nothing happens.
Would know tell me a way to check if the gps is actually connected, and if there is any way to fix this?

Try install a stock Samsung rom and check GPS.
I have the same problem for a while. I am using SllimSaber.
I have formatted and reflashed KK several times nothing changed.
Now i will try stock rom as suggested.
I have installed AryaV7 nothing has changed, no GPS signal at all
Any ideas?

Does your phone's GPS indicator blink? Maybe your phone's GPS is broken? Have you tried aps named "GPS Test", from google play?
Did you tried to use the app GPSData to download latest AGPS info?
Also you can try to modify gps.conf/gps.xml to choose different time/supl server, that is greatly helpful for fixing GPS.
Try reflashing rom (clean install) - In case there is nothing wrong with your GPS hardware everything should work just fine
I have modified gps config data with Faster Gps. Results did not change.
I have also used AndroiTS Gps test,Gps data, Gps status, Gps essentials none of them was able to catch a satellite.
I have clean install Slim Saber but the result is the same.
I am started thinking that it is not software related.
It could be a hardware issue....
Folks,
Like you I spent days editing gps.conf, installing apps, reflashing ROMS, all to no avail.
There seems to be no magic bullet and what works for one may not work for another, but I eventually stumbled across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973727.
As you will see it requires opening the case and 'tweaking' two contact points. To my surprise it worked for me - although not perfectly. I get about 10 satellite fixes and 6, maybe 7 locks. ('GPS Test' is an excellent freebie to tell you what locks/fixes you are getting.) But a big step in the right direction. There are a few images in the thread that describe the issue/ remedy.
Top (well, average) tips:

a. don't try it just before setting off to a dinner party. It is a bit of a pig and requires some grunt, swearing and patience - but it can be done! There are a few YouTube videos that help explain the process.
b. you will require a size 000 cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver. Go out and buy one if necessary (if you can find somewhere that sells them - I use the one from my spectacles repair kit which just happens to fit; not perfect but does the job - http://www.poundland.co.uk/spectacle-repair-kit. If you try with too big a head you risk stripping the screw heads and that is ......... well, not recommended.
2. Once you have completed the job test your N7000 (with GPS Test) before putting the 9 screws back in. Mine works better with no screws! You may find different.
As I say above this may work for you and may not, so the usual health warning, proceed if you wish.
You can find similar issues on Samsung smartphones, eg http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/s...-gps-problems-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0145332/.
Good luck :laugh:

My Galaxy Note was with ROM SlimSaber 4.4.2 and the gps was not working. Then I put Cyanogenmod 11 but the problem continues.
Someone who has any of these two Rom is facing this problem?
I thank for the help. :good::good:

Did you solve the problem? I have the same trouble that have arisen after updating to kitkat.I tried everything to solve it, without success (clean installation, downgrading to stock rom, editing the gps.conf file, reinstalling google maps, modem changes, hardware check ect.).
I switched to Lollipop but problem remain unsolved.

I'm glad I found this thread; I too have tried all possible solutions that may have worked for others (edit gps.config, reflash stock ROM, go back to GB, tighten the screws, bend the antenna contacts and so on), and none have helped. At all.
Now, I read somewhere that what is most likely causing the problem (completely dead gps, gps status apk shows zero satellites) is a corrupted EFS partition. This is a partition that usually is not touched by factory resets, ROM changes and so on. It also contains information that you cannot afford to loose (imei and so on).
So, I managed to backup this partition using KTools. Now, the problem is how do I get a clean, EFS partition? Is there a way to reflash this partition from a hidden backup thru odin? Or some other way?
Any help would be vastly appreciated!
Regards.
