Note 3 SM-N900W8 Failed Lollipop Update - Unkown Basebad and IMEI Null - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Mind helping me anyone? I ended up having unknown Baseband and IMEI null during failed lollipop upgrade. I tried flashing back to original stock rom both kitkat and lollipop via ODIN but I still got same issues. I ended up rooting the phone and currently running twrp. I'm just at lost right now on what else to do. I tried the EFS Wipe via sideload that didn't work either. There seems to be a lot of people experiencing this. The phone boots up fine except Unknown baseband and IME null and I'm not getting any network connections.
I'm thinking of putting custom ROM but I"m not sure with one will work. I have SM-N900W8 Canadian version Telus
Please help.

Since you have Sm-N900W8 this one seems like it will work

Thanks for the help. I guess by flashing this custom ROM the unknown baseband and null IMEI will be fixed? anywhere stated that in the post? what post# was it by any chance? Thanks!

He does say it's " There is no baseband in this ROM. So its compatible with any carrier. Make sure u put ur APN in ur network settings." Seen nothing about IMEI. Post 105 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53697925&postcount=105

[Q] Galaxy S III I9305 LTE - Modem baseband restore

Hi, guys! I have Samsung Galaxy S 3 LTE GT-i9305, without IMEI and baseband version...
I rooted my SGS 3 with ODIN but made a mistake.
First attempt - I have chosen partition "PHONE" instead of "PDA" in ODIN and flashed it...With CWM recovery file. This way I killed my modem baseband and lost IMEI...And now SGS 3 can not find any GSM network...(((
Second attempt - I have rooted it succesfully ( have chosen the right part i"PDA")
Now SGS 3 is working only as a PAD ( WiFi and Bluetooth are working) but no GSM network can be found.
Tried to flash it with full firmware(including modem rom and kernel) via ODIN. Everything finished succesfully. But when the phone is turned on after flashing - again NO IMEI, no BASEBAND Version...
Can somebody help me, please?

I also lost imei and modem on my 1 day old 9305 by flashing cwm for i9300 and hadn't backed up the imei.
I followed lyriquidperfections link and downloaded the software to my laptop.
When I ran the software it backed up the imei from somewhere on the phone I then ran restore and Param steps and all was restored succesfully. Phew what a relief that was!!!!
I then reflashed correct cwm and rom of choice and all was well.
Just follow the instructions on the page.
Thanks Lyriquidperfection.
I have same problem, tried the procedure on page 1. No luck! Sent back to service with counter reset, still waiting for collection.

[Q] Not registered on network

Hello,
a friend of mine has bought the Galaxy S3 LTE (I9305) has the following problem:
If the Netwok Mode is set on either GSM only or WCDMA only, everything works well.
On the other hand, if it is set on LTE/GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode) after a few seconds
the "Not registered on network" error appears.
The SIM card used does support LTE, could that be the source of the problem?
Also, my friend accidentaly tried to apply a i9300 CF-root and we restored it following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Got same problem here have no idea what it is.

If you guys used a different rooting method and not the one's posted in the I9305 forum , you probably lost your imei number. Check if you got it dial *#06# and your imei will hopefully appear.

Same problem here. Works for a while and then BAM. Emergency Calls only. I have my IMEI OK though.
Used a verfied method to root.

Would a different CSC or Modem help?

Sorry for the late reply.
Just as I expected, you will need to flash your modem back.
Go here and use the NC2 modem.

I don't really know but I don't think my problem is baseband problem cause I'm running "MLG" rom but when i flash modem/baseband version other than this "mlg" it shows unknown baseband version. Only "MLG" modem is recognized and somehow there's all sort of stuff wrong with this roms/or with my phone. I got that circle sign thingy with the slash in the middle showing I don't have any network at all. Idk... I'm running into all sort of weird stuff with this phone.any full wipe/cleaning with brand new roms or whatever would really help. I just want the phone to make phone calls. Phone is kinda working fine when I flash other modem in it (NC2) (can't make phone call though) but it doesn't recognize the baseband version. Here is another picture with the MLG baseband which it recognized but no network though.

I don't think a csc file is what you need...NC2 is official KitKat, your buildnumber ends with MLG, which means you are on the leaked build of KitKat. Both are 'KitKat', but they're are different firmwares...based on the problems you've described here I think your problems are coming from mixing pieces of MLG and NC2 together. It sounds like you may have some experience with odin from flashing modems, I think the easiest thing to do is to do a full flash to NC2 to clean your system up. This will get rid of the signal issues caused by different modems and you'll have the full NC2 firmware (bootloader, baseband, recovery, etc) for a solid foundation to flash custom roms on
Obligatory warning: once you flash official NC2 you are locked to it and you can NOT downgrade to anything with a lower build number - anything with MLG, MJ5, MI9 is out unless you really really really know what you're doing so definitely read up on that if you're not sure and decide if it's something you want to do.
If it is, it's easy as pie all of the NC2 files you need to flash via Odin are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117
If not, I'd still recommend reflashing full firmware...just MLG though

Not sure what you mean by ime, but a clean flash to NC2 fixex pretty much everything!
I am by no means an expert in all this, definitely read all of the warnings that the devs put in their threads!

Corrupted efs. If there's a way to restore it then do it. If not then sorry for your luck.
I just got a Note 3 secondhand. It was also on 4.4.2 and showed unknown for the baseband and IMEI. I flashed the MLG modem through Odin and the baseband and IMEI now display correctly.
BUT...I cannot set up the mobile network because I am getting an error that says no SIM card is inserted. Any help guys?

[Q] Help needed, stuck after updating firmware (emergency call)

Hi,
Well my device which is S5 mini g800f working fine, since I have changed the firmware which was old like build on july so I tried to installed latest, but now there is emergency call showing, also I have tried manually and automatically to register on the network but it says unable to register to the (---network). I did it coz my device was not showing LTE network. However my sim supports the 4g and was working on S4 i9505. I have searched on Google and look out many threads on XDA but no success until now.
The biggest mistake was I didn't looked the firmware which was already there and was running with 3g support. I have tried these EUR-G800FXXU1ANL1-20141226162921, SER-G800FXXU1ANG1-20140709112536, MAT-G800FXXU1ANI3-20141218172328. Then I have installed Custom Lollipop but no success was there too.
So now any pro's here who can understand my problem ? My imei is showing, is there any procedure where I can put the imei and it will let me know what was installed on stock :crying:
Sorry for being noobish..
Please any buddy give me suggestions that what should I do ? Or should I look in the specific section of XDA forums ?

Its is mentioned mate what I have written, I said my imei is showing that by dialing *#06# I can see it, because there is a problem where the efs folder corrupted or gone you cant see imei or imei appears to be in these digits 00000 especially by installing custom roms. Anyways my only motive is that I know the imei and how ever I can see it too, so is there any procedure where I can put the imei to the website and see what was installed on stock. Because I dont have the box so I dont know which firmware was there when I installed another rom to get LTE, because it was working properly as I said in my earlier post.
Problem is due the baseband I am pretty sure which is not matching, this is the reason because I cant connect to the network---error msg (Unable to connect).

The baseband firmware is included in the firmware packages that are available on sammobile (.tar.md5 files). If you flash the firmware package with Odin, also the baseband firmware (contained in modem.bin) will be flashed.
If you have problems with a newly flashed stock firmware that were not present with the original firmware it might be because of one of the following reasons:
You flashed the wrong firmware. I don't think that the version name of the original firmware is stored somewhere. Instead check sammobile for the correct one: select the correct phone model and your country. EUR, SER (for Russia), MAT are country codes, choose the correct one for your country, the search function on sammobile will help you with that. You can also try Kies for restoring the firmware. Maybe that is able to determine the correct firmware according to the IMEI or some other information stored on the phone.
Maybe your EFS partition was changed and corrupted. The EFS partition is the partition that contains the IMEI and other information like calibration files that are specific for your device. If any of the files in this partition is damaged, the phone might not behave correctly. If you flash another firmware the EFS partition normally is not changed.
Your hardware is defect.
I guess that you simply flashed the wrong ROM. Otherwise the problem will be hard to fix.
