The problem sounds like this:
Galaxy Note 3 does not work after changing the IMEI number, as it gives the “Not registered on a network ” error. So what should you do?
The IMEI number is used only for identifying the device, so there’s no permanent relation to the subscriber. You can check your IMEI number just by dialing *#06#.
The first method
The first thing you need to do it open the dialer and then enter – *#06# in order to check your IMEI number. If you get “IMEI Null or 000000 ”, then what you need to do is to change the settings to fix this problem. Then, in the dialer, type *#197328640#, or *#*#197328640#*#*. You’ll get into the Command mode, with On the screen, Select on Common – option 6. Then you need to select Option 1 – the FTM. FTM stands for Field Test Mode and it helps in testing. If this option is on, then turn it off.
After, your IMEI number is restored. Before leaving the command screen, tap on the Menu key, which is that one button that’s found on the left of the Home Screen. Then choose key input and enter option 2, thing that will turn off your FTM. Now it’s time to wait for a minute, then remove your battery and SIM card for about 2 minutes, then put the battery back, but leave the SIM card for now. Turn on the device. After it’s on, enters *#197328640#. Select the Debug Screen – option 1. Then choice phone control – option 8. Then nas control – option 3. Then, click on RRC (HSDPA) – option 5. To fix the problem, click on RRC revision – option 2. Now you need to turn off your phone and put the Sim card back. Then check if the IMEI number is restored by dialing *#06#.
The second method
This one will help you change your IMEI number. In order to do this, you need to back up the IMEI number.
First of all, you need to download an app that called EFS Pro. Before doing this, you need to make sure that your phone is rooted. If not, this tool is useless for your device.
