It's says on the back of the phone? Best way to check is boot into recovery mode... vol up + home + power it displays the phone model at the top of on Stock recovery.
G920T is s6 flat model so it's definitely not that

My problem since started i have very poor signal ( reception) so i went to a hardware expert and he told me your board has been reflashed!!!! Then a software expert told me i can fix your issue by software issue
My android version is 6.0.1 and my kernel is spacex because after two time new rom flashing it failed at drm verify
I live at iraq and i think mobile seller bring it from EU
P.S: i think i have gsm problem because i have good signal in downtown but very poor at road and sometime no service.

Have you tried to reset network settings?
Maybe it's just the area has poor signal and nothing wrong with the phone.
If you want to flash a firmware try the UK BTU firmware it's a good one and solves most issues

You can't flash G920T rom to your phone because that is for s6 flat model. You have s6 edge which is G925F.

You could also use the smart switch emergency software recovery/device initialisation to recover it to stock if the btu wont load, if it doesn't show up in emergency recovery you will have to enter the model and your serial number in the device initialisation tab, even then it may download but not flash the phone, I had to use Odin in the end after quickly dragging and dropping the downloaded md5.tar into another directory before it removed it when the recovery failed.
I got a second hand one too, seems like the origin of it is Switzerland and was on swiss firmware so flashed it to btu, still having 3/4g issues though, just goes to emergency calls only as soon as I switch it on, 2g is all fine.

Hi
I bought this S3 in Lituania as a "No Signal" phone hoping that it would work in SPAIN.
I have switched it on today, trying with my own sim and after enter the PIN I see "Only emergency calls". I have uptaded it to the 4.1.2 JB but same result.
Checking the locked status I see all OFF. I rooted and installed the Voodoo Unlocked and same result "Unlocked phone" but no network.
The IMEI is the same in the phone than in the back so It doesn´t look like a IMEI issue...
I applied the ariza_v04.zip patch with same result...
I can see the SIM contacts and the phone recognize my SIM number, I mean in settings I can see my phone number...
More info, when I try to select manualy my network, it doesn´t find any!
Could you please help??
Thanks thanks so much!
I have just flashed a new Modem with same result

Why is it sold as a no signal phone ???? Hardware i would guess .

Download a stock rom say the new 4.1.2 then go into recover make all wipes. After you have done, while in recovery move it down to chose from sd and don't click anything. Now hold Power + Volume down + Home all at the same time till you go into download mode connect your phone and flash stock unrooted firmware on your phone..
When finished start the phone if there is no signal then download CF Root which Chainfire made and root your phone and download GetRil from android market and see if your modem is matching it will tell you your recommended modem find and download it. Then match the ril if that doesn't work sorry mate you might have a blocked IMEI or a bad phone..
Try with another SIM.

May be the antenna has any problem?
Any other ideas?
IF you have emergency calls available - that would mean the phone has some network in range. Therefore, I doubt if this is antenna issue.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Have you tried different SIM cards?
Do emergency calls work? If so your number is blocked. It may be a stolen phone.

Well... news!
I went to the Samsung SAT and... the phone has NO ANTENNA! But not only this, it hasn´t the antenna plug!!
So I guess that if I want to fix it I should:
1- Solder any antenna or any antenna plug and then connect an antenna (too dificult I think...).
2- Find this silicon chip replacement (It´s where the usb dock and the camera conects to). But, where?! I tried but I don´t find it...
Any other idea?
Thanks!!
Can anyone help? Thanks!!

Hi All,
I have accidentially bought Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 in China. Device came with Hong Kong 4.0.4 firmware. Unfortunatelly i could not fully test it because i didn`t have a micro-sim. It is international version called I9300GSMH.
I returned home, made a backup of EFS with EFS Pro and flashed 4.1.2 Poland into my new toy.
After that i immediately got several problems:
1) IMEI is OK and legal, but SN = 00000000000. That means no network and no phone calls. Fixed quickly with "special modem", but not sure if it was the best way.
Is it possible to repair SN if i know it? Does it make any sense by the way?
2) GPS is not working at all. GPS Tool doesn`t see any satellite. Neither GPS no Glonass.
Have no idea how to fix it and why this sh,,t happened.
3) Wi-Fi range = 30 cm. My router is Dlink DIR655. Other Samsung devices work with it up to 15 meters around. This one - 30cm. Tried to change settings, apply fix - no result. My S3 can see all wireless networks around, even located on the different floor of the building... but it can`t connect to any of them with "passwor wrong" message. Put it right on the router and problem disappers. WTF???
My S3 came from Hong Kong, but it doesn`t accept China/HK firmwares. Odin stops on flashing the modem stage. Actually, for some reason, it can`t flash China/HK modems. My S3 accepts any of european FW/Modem, but not chinese, where it actually came from.
Now some surgery. /EFS and /Factory folders are different (how could that be?) Files NV_data.bin and NV_data.md5 are different in those folders. Actually approx 300 bytes are different.
NV_data.bin and .NV_data.bak are totally different and they have different dates of creation.
That is it. Have no idea what to do with this phone. It works as a phone with the patched modem, but no WIFI, no GPS, etc.
I will appreciate any help on this case.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks, but it is already done. My S3 doesn`t work with GSM network without Ariza patch. "Special modem" i meant Ariza patch for modem. That is the only way i know to make SN=00000000000 device work with GSM.
Any ideas why i`m having GPS and Wi-Fi problems? May be HongKong phone has slightly different hardware which is not 100% compatible with European firmwares?
Sounds like a convincing looking fake or a store demo unit etc.
Nothing is going to help, if it was a workable fake your going to need the custom firmware, the criminals used originally to build it.
Can you post a screen shot of the system info and pics of the actual phone?
Personally I'd just take it to a mobile repair shop to get it looked at and to get a proper answer.

I don`t think it is fake because system information looks like genuine samsung except sn=00000000000. also i can upload samsung firmware to it and it works except GPS and Wi-Fi. Under the battery there is a label containing Model = GT-I9300, real IMEI and SN.
Another question is modem. Telephone came from HK or China. I can flash it with HK firmware to return it to original state, but modem remains XX - europe. When i flash only chinese modem Odin fails with "bootloader blocked modem update" or something like that.
Smells fake .

Why do you think it is fake? Fake phone has different firmware and not compatible with Samsung.
I have checked deviceinfo as well. It is genuine Samsung...
Can someone share deviceinfo from the International GT-i9300 ? I want to compare, may be some IC chips are different and i am simply using incompatible firmware...

Exactly same situation in Argentina.
I bought a SGS3 and after full charge battery and backup EFS I flash the Poland 4.1.2. After that i can´t connect to GSM network and my serial numer is 00000000000
Is not a fake. I bought from a recognized operator.
Then I flash an ICS 4.0.4 ARO (ARO = Samsung official roms for Argentina)
Now I looking for the Ariza solution, but I fear to have the same problems descripted here, cause I have the same facts.
So ¿Any questions to this post answers?
Thanks people, for that who live away from big cities is impossible go to a technical service.
Update. I`ve also got i9100 aka Galaxy S2. After official (no grey market, no sim-unlocks, no root, no odin, etc) update via Kies it shows same SN=00000000000, but everything is OK. GSM, 3G, WiFi, Bt, Gps - all parts work as they should work without any problems or applying any patches!!! That means problem is not in SN=00000000000. This zero SN is probably just a sign of the different problem.
same problem

No IMEI = return to seller possible stolen phone . Take to service centre .
Modem does not fix IMEI .
IMEI restore is only by restoring your backed up EFS folder .

If your phone has only empty/broken IMEI. You may send it to any service center. It is very easy to reprogram EFS and repair IMEI if you have original IMEI on the phone label.
In my case nothing worked but IMEI was correct and here is step by step instruction )
Step 1. Find working 2nd hand 9300 motherboard ($130 in my country).
Step 2. Replace motherboard.
Step 3. Ta-da.
Hello there,
A few weeks ago I was trying out different custom roms on my galaxy s3, and I somehow managed to **** something up and my IMEI number got changed to something like 00400001234. I kept getting "Not Regitsrred on Network" error if I tried to make calls. So I took it to a repair shop and paid £25 to get it fixed
It got fixed and the imei number went back to normal - I could make calls again!
I then did efs, nandroid and titanium backups and then flashed foxhound rom, but again I get the "not registered on network" error. So I restored the backup, but it still says the error. I tried a different backup and still it cant connect to network :crying:
What I tried to fix this:
- turning it off for a while then back on
- manually trying to connect to my network
- manually enterring APN details
- ate a bagel
- factory reset / data wipe
- I followed all the guides I could find on this site and used the search function extensively! the last thread i read was this one but the guy couldn't find a solution other than taking it to a shop
I think I have only these options:
1) try to fix it myself maybe flashing a different radio, CSC, or something (?)
2) take it back to repair shop and pay another £25
I read somewhere that the method the shop uses to 'fix' the phone means that you cant install custom roms. is this true?
As you can probably tell, I am a novice at this kinda thing and so it's very frustrating cos I cant understand how to fix this =/
Thankyou
A guess is that you flashed custom rom and either have no CSC wrong CSC or wrong modem for your network . Or EFS folder is damaged .
Possible solution restore original rom via .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978840
Then test .
jje
so is the imei there?
yes the IMEI on the phone matches the one printed under the battery
thanks for the link. i'm trying to use kies now to fix it, but it's saying my device firmware version is not supported to update via kies. not sure what this means cos i flashed the stock rom already =/
Trying flashing the stock modem if it's not already, I too got same problem and then flashed the stock modem for my rom/country and it worked
Just my experience being a noob to flashing

i would like to try flashing a new modem/csc but i dunno where to find those seperate files. do you have a link to where i can download the unbranded UK one?
ive just flashed another rom with odin (UK unbranded BTU 4.0.4), and now i'm getting a different error. the phone now says 'mobile network not available' and there are no mobile networks showing when i try to search for them. i am no longer seeing the 'not registered to network' error
i'm still getting the error message in kies saying my firmware is not compatible too =/
dunno if this helps, but when i dial *#1234# it shows this information:
AP: I9300XXBLG8
CP: I9300XXLG8
CSC: I9300XABLG8
what does it all mean =S
edit: okay, i've just been down to the store where i originally bought the phone from. i had one of their sales guy snap a picture of the firmware version info screen. for comparison i've included a screenshot of my s3's info:

the console text says it has applied CSC-code "CYO"
ive managed to find the correct firmware now, so that it matches the stock s3, but yet my problem still remains =/ once again it is giving me the 'not registered on network' error
dont know what else to try now =/
maybe the CSC code is incorrect, and changing it would fix my issue?
CSC has nothing to do, since your phone is unlocked. It depends on the network, whether GSM or UMTS.
Try this firmware for the CSC CYO:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/190153878/49a62fc/I9300XXELLA_I9300OXXELL1_CYO.zip.html
1- Make sure to flash using Odin 3.07. Find it in the forums. To flash, you must enter the download mode. Switch off the phone, then Vol Down + Home + Power.
2- After flashing and rebooting the device, when the logo is shown, remove the battery and reinsert it.
3- Enter the recovery mode using (Vol Up + Home + Power).
4- Choose "Wipe factory settings".
5- Reboot the device.
6- Enjoy.
Being in an area with weak network coverage can cause continuous error like "Not registered on network". Therefore, after flashing, try forcing the network into GSM via "Setting -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM Only".
This shall work fine with you
well thanks for trying, but that didn't work either. i followed the steps exactly and i still get 'not registered on network' error =/
this is so frustrating

yes the phone was bought from carphone warehouse (UK) and was already unlocked out of the box
also, no i have not tried another sim
i've just uses kies to find the exact firmware i need (entered the model + serial number) and flashed it... but, still i get 'not registered on network' error, despite having full 5 bars signal
i dont know what else could cause this. the firmware is correct, imei number is correct, everything is back to stock.. so why am i still seeing this error? :crying: ive run out of ideas now! well, unless the 'custom binary counter' stops the phone working if you flash it too many times (???) i really dont know what else to try

Hi Guys,
2 months ago I bought a Samsung s5 in Hong Kong.
While travelling through South East Asia this device worked fine.
While traveling through New Zealand (Old home) this phone worked fine.
While traveling through America (New Home) this phone worked fine for the first 2 weeks (on the metroPCS network).
The problem:
Randomly after 2 weeks the s5 stopped connecting to the metroPCS mobile network even though the network was available (btw metroPCS uses the T-Mobile network). It gives errors such as network not available or cannot register with network.
Things I have tried:
-Im sure the APN settings of the phone have not changed and I have double checked to see if they are correct.
-replacing the sim card with another does not fix the issue
-soft and hard reset of the phone does not fix the issue
-Getting metroPCS to refresh the service on this number does not fix the issue
Other important info:
-This phone was purchased in hong kong but it is from the Philippians according to Kies's firmware information (XTC is the country code)
-It is running a custom allianceROM that must have been installed by someone in hongkong
-The device is rooted (superuser app installed)
-the model number as shown in settings is g900f BUT when attempting to flash with odin the phone displays g900t and fails to flash the latest Philippians verison of kit-kat
I have 2 questions:
1. Any ideas why my network connection has suddenly self destructed (and how to fix)?
2. Would flashing a stock ROM to my s5 help? and if so why is there conflicting information on which model I own (g900t/g900f)?
Please help. I do have some know how on flashing android devices but i've really hit the wall on this one guys!
Cheers,
Yetti.:cyclops:
It's not uncommon for the model # to be different with a custom rom as that is a very easy thing to edit in the build.prop. It should tell you under the battery which one it is. As far as the network issues, check to see if the baseband and IMEI are still there and not listed as unknown or incorrectly. It's possible you could get away with flashing the appropriate modem that matches with your update and that might work better in this region vs the previous one.
Please list the Alliance rom version and baseband version here in case it's relevant to your issue.
More info
Im not sure if this helps but looking through the build.prop file in the system folder my ro.product.local.region=GB
When in recovery mode the region is set to XTC (Philippians) using mutli-csc.
Also my IMEI number seems ok and is NOT blocked.
Cheers. Yetti :cyclops:
Baseband and rom etc
Thankls for your reply!
Sorry when you say "under the battery symbol" do you mean in /odins boot script on the device/ or /in settings on the phone/?
Baseband is g900TUVU1ANCH
Build Num: AllianceROM_G900F_XXU1ANCF
If the "no network" issue can be solved with the current firmware that would be the most desirable solution but going through the flashing process may be a good idea for my learning process, and will help with future updates.
Do you think getting back to a stock rom would help me?
tHANKS AGAIN!:cyclops:
Model confirmed to be g900t
Sorry i didn't understand the "under the battery" thing. I was lost in software world. The sticker under the physical battery says SM-900T so i guess that confirms that it is a t-moble verison (and the baseband is therefore correct).
I will try to flash the T-Mobile stock image to the phone and see if that works.
Also i will try to flash a modem (after i work out which one i need).
Cheers, Yetti :cyclops:
Current status.
Flashed the stock T-Mobile firmware to the phone. No success.
Flashed new modem to the phone. No success.
Will go to the T-Mobile store tomorrow to see if they can help (I doubt it but i have to exhaust all the options).
Any more help would be appreciated...
cheers, yetti:cyclops:
By under the battery I mean like to take off the battery cover of the phone and pull the battery out and look at the sticker found there.
G900t.

Yep it says g900t (see above)
As per flashing a modem. I have heard that it is possible to flash any modem for any version of the s5 to the phone. Some work well and others not so much. I have tried 2 T-Mobile modems (baseband) the G900TU1ANCH and the G900TUVU1BNG3 with no success. Do you have any recommendations for a modem to try (or even a custom ROM that might help?)
Cheers,
Yetti :cyclops:
I know that you mentioned they refreshed the service for your number, but do they have the correct IMEI in the system for your account? Metro makes a big deal about that now and you can't just take your SIM from another phone and pop it in a new one and go like you can with pretty much every other service (Cricket is like this too now).

I'd try doing a fresh install of one of the combination firmware builds. Those tend to fix issues like this. And then flash a stock rom after the Combination Firmware finishes booting up for the first time. This being my suggestion for the highest chance of success.
If that does not work for some reason. I'd like to know what happened. The second option then would be to root the device and use flashfire to restore a backup of your EFS partition if you have one, or flash the correct modem that corresponds to the installed build you have that reads as SN=0000000
Hello to everyone here, I'm in a bit of a pinch here and dunno how can I get out. I need to factory reset an S6 Edge SM-G925F from my cousin (He forgot his pattern, no reactivation lock, no risk of FRP locking either), but the thing is that USB Debugging is disabled, and the volume rockers do not work at all (in fact, the phone boots directly to Safe Mode). I do have a jig for entering Download Mode (tried flashing TWRP with ODIN but no auto reboot to it, updated to Nougat Official to see if it triggered a factory reset to no avail). I wanna know if there is a piece of software I can use to reboot immediately to recovery. Thanks in advance!

If the phone is logged into his google or samsung account you can bypass the lockscreen with a PC. Just type in (on the PC) find your phone (for googles way) or find my mobile (samsungs way). Log in and select lock my device. Set a new password and it will be sent to the phone. Type the new password into the phone and your in
