Hello, I'm not so good at english but I do really need help.
Today I tried updating my Galaxy S6 to Marhsmallow using Odin and official Brazilian ROMs by sammobile.
Everything ran smoothly while installing and setting up, until I noticed the message "Emergency call only" (in portuguese).
I tried to make a call and it popped "Not registered in network" (in portuguese).
I've tried manually and automatically setting up mobile and trying 2G,3G and 4G modes only.
Also tried reinstalling the same ROM and installing ZTO ROMs (unbranded)
I've also check via dialpad that my IMEI number shows up but using *#0011# it shows as imei number: ng.
I really appreciate any real help to fix it.
Current version: g920idvu3epif.
CSC: g920izta3epfc

Hey guys,
I recently bought an old Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537 (AT&T) stock Android 4.4.2 - detailed specs at the end of this post.
>>>> This is my problem. <<<<
My GSM and LTE doesn't work any more. The phone says there is no SIM-Card, though I inserted a working Simple Mobile SIM (T-Mobile network). Moreover calling, texting via SMS and mobile data (Internet) do not work. :crying:
It seems also strange to me that the entry in "About Device -> Baseband-Version" is set to "Unknown" (see also below under "Phone Specs").
>>>> What happened <<<<
I opened the dialer and typed in *#9090#. A new Window "DIAG CONFIG" popped up. I selected
1 DM/DUM over HS-USB(*)
in the menu. After that the other menu points disappeared and the mobile carrier icon (http://appcrawlr.com/thumbs/app/icon/86/3336286.png) changed to a no-connection sign (http://www.clker.com/cliparts/2/3/2/5/1194984827960120970no.svg.med.png). When I type in *#9090# the "ServiceMode" window pops up but without any menu items.
>>>> That's why I did the *#9090# thing <<<<
I updated from Stock Android 4.4.2 to Stock Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop) keeping my root-access following this instruction:
http://www.droidviews.com/update-to-lollipop-and-root-att-galaxy-s4-active-sgh-i537/
The installation and everything went just fine. But I couldn't use my Mobile Internet any more, though it had worked on Android 4.4.2 perfectly. So I flashed back to the old Android 4.4.2 and it worked again. I thought there had to be some kind of AWS/LTE-locking in the stock Android 5.0.1 firmware. After some searching on the Internet I came to the conclusion that there has to be a LTE locking on the phone. So I tried this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441211
But it didn't work for me (probably because Samsung locked the firmware). Till then my GSM/LTE still worked!
Afterwards I tried the *#9090# think (I got it from this post: https://disqus.com/home/discussion/droidview/how_to_sim_unlock_t_mobile_038_at038t_galaxy_s4_sgh_m919_sgh_i337/#comment-1604470770) and that was the thing, that made my GSM/LTE not work any more.
Flashing the phone with Odin (same 4.4.2 stock ROM) didn't change the problem.
I know this was stupid.
But please help me. This is my only phone and without it I have no connection to my family and friends. :crying:
Thank you so much in advance! (And sorry for my bad English. I'm trying to improve. :angel

But how? I can not find any modem firmware on the internet, which is for ROM 4.4.2 NE or above.
Anyone with a link out there?

I can not even get there because it says "No SIM". The problem is the modem firmware, I think. But I have no modem firmware for stock ROM 4.4.2 NE or above.
Or google for full factory firmware it come 4 parts

I have Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. When the google drive app was downloading from google play, my phone went off due to poor battery. Later when I tried to turn it ON, it has been getting stuck in the boot. So I decided to reinstall my custom ROM. Being busy with my baby, toddler, household chores and job, I gave it to my brother to flash the ROM. After a while, I noticed that my sim was bricked.
It says "Emergency Calls Only", has fake IMEI but working signal.
We did not backup the efs. I tried searching all the methods like modem installation, CSC, baseband verions, IMEI re-write, Kies Upgrade and Initialization, other people's efs restore, etc. But the problem is unchanged. Some of the followed method might have failed for not having proper knowledge like IMEI re-write tool works on specified chipset, etc.
What we noticed is that using different baseband version toggles from having network signal or no signal.
Kies shows more than four firmware versions and no other details like CSC, etc.
How do I clean up all these especially to have SIM working on my phone?
I appreciate you assistance to be brief and clear to understand steps than sending links. Because my time is stress-fully short.
Hi !
There is some confusing info in your post
What do you mean with it has fake IMEI " ? Have you changed it ?
You say that you have a working SIM on certain basebands , is this happening on a custom rom or stock ?
Have you tried to flash a stock firmware as I see that you tried to flash "your custom rom " ?
Cheers !
First of all, thank you for your response and interest to assist.
My mobile's IMEI is shown as 004999010640000 which is not original. Can you help me to change it to correct IMEI suitable for my Samsung S3 GT-i9300 chipset, if that helps in enabling sim to connect to a network? I think changing method only masks the IMEI?
I have tried flashing stock firmware and also Kies Upgrade and Initialization.
I have also changed baseband version installation on stock ROM too. I don't know which baseband is correct to keep.. for my country India or in the country where my mobile is manufactured, incase that's locking sim accessibility? Some baseband bought signal and detected the network operator name, but the message still says "Emergency Calls Only" and is unable to connect to a network.
I presume this problem arose when installing custom ROM from TWRP recovery and it messed up with efs partition?
I had successfully flashed custom ROM many times before without this problem. I think there's some next step to follow to bring back the working sim like I heard of installing modem. I did just try installing modem but same problem as my baseband is already bringing signal.
I had tested my phone from sim unlock app and found out that CSC is locked and it limited specified MCC and MNC numbers. Is this hindering connection to Indian mobile network? Or corrupt efs? Or missed to manually install something?
Bump.
So guys, I've flashed the wrong country firmware on my S6. Before this, i was using android 6.0.1, and then i've instaled a INU firmware, but i needed to install ZTO. So, now my phone can't connect to my operator network, can't make calls, keeps saying that i'm not registered to the network. Don't know what to do. Someone help me
EDIT: My IMEI is showing normal with *#06#

XFA is the south africa CSC. where will you be using the phone? ive used the germany, uk, ireland, romanian and russian firmwares on my A8 here in the states and they all worked just fine. im betting that the phone is locked to its native CSC
i am using the phone in zimbabwe..
so if locked to its original carrier is there any way to fix it or i should take it back to xfa

the A8's are supposed to be unlocked tho. Did you buy it thru a carrier?
go to this address and search for xfa, youll see that its unbranded and should be able to be used on any GSM carrier. You might have to give the carrier the IMEI in order to get it working

I also recently upgraded to Android 11. The problem is that now the device gives me the message "Emergency calls only" and won't connect to any mobile network. I am based in South Africa. I updated with the stock firmware CSC "CFA" for Panama (original) then also tried XFA for South Africa but still I get the same message.
If anyone knows how to solve this please help!!
