i9500 No Service Imei Certi: PASS [Answered]

[verminer]

Hi. I guess I need Octopus team help. Here is the story: I've got i9500 with null/null problem. I've fixed a hundreds i9500s with such issue by the help of Ocropus box. So what I've done - downgraded to 4.2.2, performed EFS reset via Ocropus, rooted and wrote Super IMEI from the Octopus list, then flashed 4.4.2 Standard procedure, but phone said IMEI Certi: FAIL. I repeated the procedure again and got same result - EMEI Certi: FAIL. I've never experienced such problems and started to search. I've found this message from octopus team with this guide:

"Try to do exactly the next:
1. Make Repair EFS.
2. Re-flash the phone with firmware "I9500XXUFNG1_I9500ODDFNE1_SLK_Android_4.4.2.o ct"
3. Make Repair IMEI (write service IMEI from the Software list, not any IMEI).
4. Re-flash the phone again.
5. Re-start the phone, search and select network manually."

I performed this and now phone shows No Service IMEI Certi: PASS. What should I do now?

Hello.

Try to make "Repair Network", tehn try to find and select Network manually.
Also, IMEI can be blacklisted by Network provider. In such case You should try to write a Cert file.

Please reflash the phone, then check whether IMEI is correct.

Try to use different SIM cards to check Network. Also, check whether IMEI is not black listed in your region.

That didn't help. Performed gently reflow of RF part - now signal appear =) So it's hardware problem. Gonna fix it. Thanks for help!
