Hello! I hope everyone is having a great day!

N950U1 from T-mobile doesn't detect T-Mobile sim and baseband is unknown.
I've tried combination file (end ...ARA3) for frimware on this note BRA9 and it said mismatch modem. So i downgraded to BRA5 firmware from link here T-Mobile version. This time it went through However it would stop as soon as Samsung logo came on - freeze - no boot. Hour later went back to download mode and accidentally pressed volume down - Whoot IMIE is there, like a secret service screen hah! But it would not let me in recovery at all, only DM or frozen samsung logo.
Whats interesting is when it boots without combination file, *#197328640# gets no options at all, its like whole baseband feature evaporated.
Help Please:)

BTW. tmobile sim works fine on S7 Edge

I'm in the same boat as you and I don't know how to solve it I've read threads that the original csc should bring it back, but I can't even tell which is my phone's original csc

edit: I've solved my problem i'm not sure if it'll work for you, but what I did was root my device, delete the efs folder which eventually game "000000000" imei and the baseband wasn't appearing as unknown anymore, then within the new efs folder that was created on its own there was a folder called efsec in which it contained !svc and svc files, so I extracted these files and edit these files with notepad++ which within there was an option for imei and it showed me all 0000000 so I imputed the original imei, and finally after a reboot I reflashed stock and then flashed a combination file which when it booted up it automatically restored my imei
