GT-I9505 no service after imei repair - GSM-Forum

cagdas5a · 07-17-2014, 08:36

Hello, as the title says my galaxy s4 stopped recieving signal after fixing imei. Imei number is valid. It's still able to ask my pin code so I assume it's a software problem. Tried unlocking, it succeeded but no luck, still no service. Tried repairing the nvm with the oldest one, still no luck. What should I do next?

cagdas5a · 07-17-2014, 08:38

oh nevermind mods can delete this thread. It started to recieve after 8 hours o.o strange.

cagdas5a · 07-17-2014, 09:04

Sorry for posting too quick. But my phone started to act strange, my service went again, It comes back time to time. Before fixing imei it was working perfect. Any help?

Gonna try now. Just saying, there is a "banned" icon on top of right corner and when I pull down the notification panel, it says no service. I'm not able to send messages, make calls etc. but people is able to call me. Strange

cagdas5a · 07-17-2014, 12:51

Did a factory reset and it seems to be working. I'll post here if it doesnn't work, thank you

cagdas5a · 07-17-2014, 13:07

Nope, I'm having the exact same issue as you posted above. When I lock the screen service wents off. Downloading the firmware, will post the results.
