I think you should use Odin and flash all 4 files of the fully stock firmware. You could try to just flash the modem using Odin to restore it. Might as well do all 4. Do you know how to do that?
Sent from my shamu using XDA Labs

when it dont works with odin flash take it again apart and clean the mainboard with 100% alcohol and then wait 1 day and mount again all back. when that dont works then can be that your modem chip is burned and needs a new mainboard

@ridethewind have you been able to use Odin to flash the factory firmware with all 4 files?

You got another Sim card you can use to see if that's the problem.

All 4 or 5 files of a completely stock firmware are as follows:
AP
Bootloader
CSC
CP
And sometimes a PIT File to repartition the device.
Each one has its own slot in Odin. If you open Odin you will see all 4 buttons and boxes on the right side of the screen.
It would look like this after you extract the full firmware.

Your described procedure to falsh a modem is fully correct.
Did you ever try to switch Airplane mode on/off in such a situation?
Even more did you see at all any network by using the search functionality in that case?

But at your home you have again a network connection?
From where are you exactly?
Might it be an issue with base bands? 850/1900Mhz?

No network or Sim registered after flashing juwe's v.5
Hey! Hope you are all well. I'm quite desperate to find out what may be the problem I describe below could be.
I just flashed Juwe's Rom and all went well untill my phone had finished booting up. My Galaxy S i9000 doesn't register it has the sim inside. I've tried a number of times to re-insert it with the same result. I have the signal bar in my notifications with a little x above.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I desperately need this phone for business.
Thank you in advance
hey once the same happened to me when i installed sh 3.6.1, after i install my sim wouldnt register,going back to the previous version my sim worked...so i changed my kernel to fugu and flashed 3.6.1 again everything worked fine... try this might help u !!

[ Q ] wiped imei, no network

Hi
I have got a Samsung galaxy i9000 second hand over internet, while I got it was working well with already some off stock rom wit root, the problem at that time was whenever I restart that phone all of my installed software's are home so thought to flash it with cm7... tried flashing it with odin,it failed halfway saying unable to mount the/ system/ xxx(I forgot the rest )
So I them researcherd and wanted to flash stock rom, while doing it I don't know how but phone lost it's imei and now it's just a ipod not picking the signals.... Samsung guys says it maybe some hardware issue but I doubt it, also they are charging very high so I want to do it myself

did u convert your file system to ext4/3/2 or applied any lagfix before flashing?
If yes, did u revert back to rfs before flash?

The IMIE Number is basically on the MODEM.CSC

Try to flash the modem according to your Rom Specification.
Or Why don't you try to flash a Factory Rom!
May Be that Will FIX THE ISSUE!
Hope it helps...

galaxy note wifi problem help

Hello, first of all thank you very much for this wonderful forum, I hope you forgive me qe for my English, as I am new to the forum and I am Spanish.
I have a serious problem with the wifi on my galaxy note, its former owner change me for galaxy s2, porqe the note said he had a problem with the wifi since I update to 4.0.3 GB wifi stopped the work for you.
I changed the phone and I've tried all the wifi of my note is as if there remains in activating wifi in settings onn-off button does not let me press it appears in dark gray, takes one minute trying to activate mast fails, to try to activate wifi I have to enter from the button onn-off will not let me.
Well I've done everything I flashed to GB 4.0.4, I restored the efs folder, I opened the phone in case it was the battery problem surfatada, and factory reset, I have done everything and there is no solution, please can you help something any ideas???
thanks in advance and sorry.
try going back to a GingerBread rom 2.3.6 and do a factory wipe from recovery menu and check if the wiFi works or not
I've done that like 3 or 4 times and does not work any other ideas???
so it doesn't work on gb either... may be a hardware issue
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I doubt it is a hardware problem because Habri inside the phone and is not perfect is surfatada battery problem.

I've got the same issue since yesterday....on rocket rom v11.
Everything worked wonderfully until yesterday, when wi-fi stopped working. I've tried to restore previous backups and to change kernels, without success.
What do you suggest? Full wipe?
if its an all of a sudden problem wipe mite solve this

Well, yes, I'll try a full wipe then. Wiping dalvik/cache only didn't work
because I'm tired of changing roms do all wipes to restore efs folder and everything and not to do I'm tired, I opened the note 2 times and I see nothing unusual in it, there is certainly another solution someone from this forum had to go to him?
why are you opening the phone up? if wifi has stopped working then the first thing woudl be to change the kernel if that fails restore older rom that was working, if you have opened the phone up its posible you have damaged it
opening the note wont let u know if its a harware fault or not.. if the wifi chip doesnt work.. that doesnot mean when u open the phone u will see it broken into 2 pieces.. infact i would have taken it to a service center and taken some professional advice
I have recommended the proo efs, but I have no idea how to use it, my question is I have my imei correct note but possibly the former owner of the folder alchivos erase efs, delete files if this affects wifi? ? Any chance that I can recover missing or something?
when setting in note * # 526 # test wifi ago, and this is the result of what makes me, NotSet driver loaded, any idea what may be happening to my note???

Extreme method :
After performing all the above if you haven't still got IMEI. Now switch off your phone and open SP Tools and connect your phone. Now click on format and format your whole phone. ( This wipes whole of the phone including NVram region ).
Now flash stock ROM through SP Tools and after it completes start up your phone. ( Don't be surprised. Your IMEI will still be in lost state only ). Now root your phone.
After successful rooting now connect your phone to MTK Droid tools and again press ROOT button and grant root access to MTK Droid tools. Now click on IMEI/NVram tab.

Now as you see in the image above you can see two boxes IMEI1 and IMEI 2. Now enter your device IMEI numbers manually in those two boxes.( You can get your IMEI no's from your phone box ). Now click replace IMEI. Now reboot your phone and you should be definitely able to get your IMEI restored.

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help ;)

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help
Hi guys,
Please help me fix my Note 5!!!
Quick background story:
Bought it on ebay "As Is". Guy said it got stuck while using Samsungs smart switch software. Phone still has intact Knox ("0") so warranty is intact.
But I dont want to take the warranty exchange route yet. It is on 6.0.1 PD2 or PH2 (i forget, I am at work at the momemnt) because thats what smart switch says
that it is going to restore.
Things I have done: (Used multiple cables, using Win10)
- Tried Emergency restore via Smart Switch. -- No success. It says something like cant restore.
- Used Odin 3.7 & 3.12.6 to flash stock PD2 or PH2 firmware. Odin flashes the rom now (it wasnt earlier) and when the phone reboots it stays at "Samsung Logo" and
doesnt move on.
- Cant get to recovery. It just does nothing when holding the buttons.
- I can only get to Download screen.
So, I dont know what to do now. I was able to get my previous note 5 working by using odin but this one is just stuck.
I would really appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

Hi,
So I tried going to the link and unfortunately it did not work . The software to repack the (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) does not work for some reason. Tried using 7zip, but I cant find a way to combine the 3 img files into .tar files. What am I missing here?
Spent another 3 hours after work today fiddling with this . The wife is def not happy.
Any other suggestions?
Plzzz help a guy out.
You can try to install TWRP recovery by odin. Boot into download mode then connect your phone to the computer. Once done you will need to download some files which will install the recovery by odin. Next hold the volume up, power, and home button until twrp recovery comes up then connect the storage to your pc and install a custom rom and hopefully this might fix it. This will void warranty so do this at your own risk.
