Insert another sim - the same problem.
Today I tried again: full wipe + Phoenix 16.0 + Phoenix 16.7 OTA update + init.d_script-need-test.zip + Patched MJ9, reboot - no effect, "sim is absent"
Apparently your phone is unable to read simcards, is another issue different than not registered network because sim absent is not related to network/IMEI issues.
Try flashing a stock firmware using Odin from a pc.
If the issue still there maybe need to go sat

Flashed Android Revolutaion 20.1 all is fine. But Note 3 fetaures are absent. It seems, that N3 features caused problem with sim-card.

Thanks to @johnyp
and mainly to Zuluman! for the actual fixes and modem patcher!

You can follow this solution to fix the "Emergency Calls Only" problem for those suffering from this after upgrading to 4.3 ROMS. Note this is if you have a VALID IMEI number, but are still getting Emergency Calls Only!

If you have an invalid IMEI number\Baseband problem then you need to restore a backup of your /efs folder to resolve that (follow other threads that detail how to resolve that issue)

You can safely upgrade to any 4.3 ROM now by following this solution (ORIGINAL THREAD HERE!!!)

Download the patched MK4 kernel from here:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6MIUd7HJudAeDVaaGo0SXdYRWs&usp=sha ring&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8

Next download the modem (MJ9 modem patched by johnyp):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u60919sl1e...0_ModemMJ9.zip

Copy these 2 files to your sdcard. Reboot to recovery and then flash the kernel then the modem and reboot, and you will no longer have the emergency calls only!

Remember this is for 4.3 ROMS only!

Note you can download the modem patcher here! This will allow you to patch modem.bin files for a modem of your choice also. Then just update the modem zip file by replacing the modem.bin with your patched modem.bin :)


emergency calls is fixed bro but wifi wont work now ????

Hi. I am using a Galaxy Note 2 International (Unlock). Using a DN3 3.2 rom.
One service provider here in Philippines is Sun Cellular.
I dont have any issues regarding network signal.
I want to switch to another network, Globe. I dont have any network. It says Emergency Calls Only.
I tried to use Mobile Data, to my surprise I can browse the web.

I tried to install the Patch Kernel MK9 by Zuluman then tried the patch Modem MJ5.
After rebooting, my imei became null/null and No service.
I install the stock modem MJ5. then goes back my IMEI.
I tried the patch MJ9, also it became null/null.

I hope someone will enlighten me. Thank you.

Update: Tried the init.d script. Then flashed the patched MJ5, Now, imei still there (before null/null)
Tried the patched MJ9, still emergency calls only.

Should I try other modem? Thank you.

looks like your phone is locked to use Sun Cellular simcards only.

Only a sat can lock the phone, if you bought on Samsung store must be unlocked

Any other techniques sir? I feel so hopeless. One network is ok but the other network is not. I really need to transfer to that network. :( should I use a modem that I use when I was at 4.1? Thank you.
