Hi ,
I have a flashed a rom that I think did not work for my model ( Now my phone says model number is SM-G925K) and I have no more signal. I believe the model number is the issue, but I'm not sure...
It was supposed to be a SM-G920W8.
Any idea how I can reverse it back?
This is the rom that I tried to install : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-aterminatorg920f3zpa1m-6-0-11-0b-t3295183
This is the rom that I was on :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
Please help!
flashed stock rom, re-rooted the phone and Flashed TWRP and the same old rom I had .. everything is fine now
Displaying different phone model is just a build.prop thing, no reason to panic.
The reason why the ROM you tried to flash doesn't work or give signal is obvious. The rom is posted in the 920F/I thread and therefore shouldnt really work for your device (920w8?), unless stated so (Xtrelite rom says it does). That beta rom has only 92xF bootloader/modem, which obviously doesnt work for you.
I have really made a mess trying to fix it myself.
I will write the current status and at the bottom what I've tried so you can skip
Model: sm-g920f
IMEI: 359845066450254
sn:RF8G41WR1SW
Android version:6.0.1
build #: XtreStoLite Deo Mod v.3.3 - DPDP
Baseband:G920FXXU3DPDP
Kernel version: 3.10.61-7884513 [email protected]#1

now the sim card works in other phones and when I remove it the device registers it is SIM CARD REMOVED but when I put it back in nothing happpens, and mobile networks settings is gone
*I started in stock 5.1.1 (MADE NANDROID BACKUP OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING EFS) and flashed twrp via odin > (everything still working)
*flashed XtreStoLite 2.4 (5.1.1) via twrp > (everything still working)
after several months
*flashed new 6.0.1 bootloader and modem via odin and tried to flash XtreStoLite 3.0 (6.0.1) via twrp > got stuck in bootloop...
*used smart switch to go back to stock 6.0.1> Everthing was OK until about a month later the phone suddenly restarted and doesn't recognize the sim card
* I tried factory reset
* I tried samsung but they gave it back saying I've tripped my knox flag
*I flashed 6.0.1 XtreStoLite bootloader, modem and TWRP again via odin
*I flashed XteStoLite 3.3.1 (6.0.1)
*I tried restoring from the first nandroid (stock 5.1.1 from the begining) and got stuck in bootloop again.
*reflashed XtreStoLite 3.3.1 (6.0.1) and tried restoring only the efs. still doesn't work.

I saw some threads talking about octoplus box but I still have my efs Backed up my and SN and IMEI still show up.
Please help me I am here I am willing to learn and search online. I've tried everything i've found online.
Hi.
Try to use Smart Switch > Software Update and Initialization to recover your firmware, hopefully you get your network back.
Tell me what happens, gl.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA-Developers mobile app
almost same thing on a long thread here, no solution so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/g920f-network-issues-t3291903
I am seriously considering it could be sim reader issue, or some cold solder somwhere on mbo.
My IMEI was also showing in settigs, but when dialed *#0011#, in stack 1, there was "IMEI NG", after write cert operation via octoplus, it says IMEI OK now, but NO SIM, and no mobile networks menu still.
Same like you SIM is detected when inserted or removed, and phone offers restart to access mobile networks, but after restart nothing changes, KNOX tripped by previous owner, phone was in three 3rd party repair shops, where they made even bigger mess than it was, when I brought it to them.
i had the same issue when i upgraded to mm so i sent to shop they had to downgrade it to 5.1.1 and use octobox to fix it
Thanks for replying Legend.
But even though I did the software Initialization in smart switch once before it is not working for me now.
I've tried twenty time while reinstalling and restarting the pc I even tried a different pc I get the same error message every time. "failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred".
any other thing to try?
you could try to restore that backup you have, from when everything worked and then flash 5.1.1. bootloader and modem for that csc via odin before rebooting
According to Smart Switch with your sn it is ILO so you need 5.1.1 bootloader and modem from ILO 4 file fw package.
*I just managed to flash stock 6.0.1 via odin (even though It failed at hidden.img... it boots normally) still no sim card tough.
*I realized that maybe all of this happened because when I flashed stock via smart switch for the first time I didn't have my original s/n so I put one from the internet and it wasn't my region.
meaning I flashed stock of UK and it still worked for a month or so, so that's weird...
*Thank you brenner that is a good idea and I will try now
question how do I extract the bootloader and modem out of the fw? I just open the tar archive and take the boot.img and modem.bin files and flash them as is?
nvm found a guide

There are .tar-s which are single file, and 4 files, the ones with 4 files has separate bl/modem
btw, isnt sn written on back of the phone, along with IMEI?
OK, I've flashed the nandroid stock 5.1.1 (LMY47X.G920FXXU3COJ1) and its bootloader and modem from sammobile.. still doesn't work!!
How can this be? everthing is EXACTLY the way it was when it was working!
and no, my model at least doesn't have the S/N and IMEI written at the back, and I didn't keep the box
any other suggestion anyone?
*also there are so many post in subject if I ever find a solution I will make a guide.
-bump-
still no solution..
I've flashed back to current stock ILO...
Meanwhile looking for a lab with octoplus box, still would love solving this at home
At home or not, I would like to solve it too
Bought a second hand S6 the other day and was working perfectly fine until I carried out the update. Now on 6.0.1 and am getting the exact same problem, my SIM works in every other phone. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Not that I know of, except hw replacement, which cost as a used phone with 1+ years of warranty (6 months warranty on motherboard after replacement, on motherboard only)
But I am willing to donate to whoever finds a solution for it.
No i think your problem is a S/W problem, i have 2 G920F with this problem, one of them is 3 binary and another is 4 binary FW, now i work on it if i can solve this problem i told you here.

Hey Guyz..
Sorry for my bad english..
my friend give me a device which has possibly a software issue it is a moto z force verizon varient .. it is giving me no service after putting a sim in it.. and if i take it out it shows insert sim.. i tried different sims i tried to select the network manually which fails with a "error while searching for networks". now i have also tried unlocking its bootloader but that fails because its a verizon device.. i tried to download the verizon vareint firmwares or roms .. which doesn't flashed through rsd lite giving me an error of flashing boot.img error.. and i tried to bypass it but nothing important flashed through tha:crying:t.. i tried different softwares.. i tried adb sideload i tried to flash through fastboot commands.. i have checked with oreo roms and nougat roms.. they both give me the same error.. i still belive that flashing rom could solve my device.. coz my friend told me that he was running this device fine on nougat but when he tries to update it.. it was successfully installed but when he rebooted the device the new rom came with this no service issue.. i hard reseted it.. i did every possible thing i know.. my friend is a very poor man.. i really wanted to fix this device for him.. please help please tell me what else i can do.. remember i still think that installing a older rom or installing any rom will help.. i used firmware from getdroidtips websites which is the first link on the google by searching moto z force firmware.. i can't put a link because xda don't letting me to put a link sorry about that
and i have one more request.. please try to explain the method because there is a language barrier
I hope you will give me the solution..
Thanks in advance
