Note 5 No signal Help needed - GSM-Forum

zinnium · 03-14-2017, 19:58

I got a Note 5 SM-N920A that is am doing an IMEI repair and other BS fixes after the last guy botched an IMEI change on it.

I got the IMEI fixed. I got it back to PK1. Its unrooted, and all stock.

It reads a SIM Card, but can not connect to Network. IMEI is a clean IMEI on both AT&T and T-Mobile.

Now it just can not get signal. I am out of ideas of what to try now. Seeing if any of you have a suggestion.

Did you patch the IMEI??????

Also, dial *#0011# and check the IMEI status

I used a CERT from another N920A that I had laying around didn't patch it. Never had to before when using a valid cert.

Just did the *#0011#
IMEI shows: NG

But its not Null when i do the *#06#.

Thanks for your help there. That just makes me feel like a jackass. Never had this happen to me yet.

If anyone is having this issue, and want to know the fix for IMEI: NG:

1. Shoot the Factory Combination file on it. (or root it)
2. Re-flash the Certificate.
3. Reboot
4. check IMEI and *#0011# if its ok.

Thats all you have to do. You might need to repeat it a few times, but you will get it after a bit.
