[Resolved] Redmi note 3 pro used with Europe SIM card blocked in emergency mode - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

My phone's SIM card is not working as expected:
- it is recognized (The phone asks me for the password when he detects the SIM card and code is accepted)
- it says "No service" and of course, I do not get any services (no phone calls, SMS or data)
My history on this device so far (in case it matters):
- This SIM card worked when I received the phone from gearbest (and I upgraded to latest MIUI 8.0.5) and I could make a test call and send/receive SMS.
- Then I wanted to install CM13, I had to go to the unlocking procedure that didn't work as expected and required me to install Global Dev Roms (and this didn't work as expected) so I finished by flashing nearly all of the ROMs (Global, Global dev, China, china dev) using EDL mode. Quite quickly I notice that I lost functionalities upon the simcard : on some ROMs it would not even been seen (no sim card displayed, nor Wifi).
- I had to resort to a bootloader hack to reach unlocked state because official way did not work at all (blocked at 50%). And got on my way to install CM13... most ROMs would have the exact same problem than the official images: no sim card detected (and no Wifi neither BTW).
- It is only on the very latest ROMs for kenzo CM13, (> 2016-10) that I got back Wifi and sim card detection. Unfortunately, the sim card is still in Emergency mode and states "No Service"
- I flashed many NON-HLOS.bin with TWRP without seeing any changes (7.1.7 and 7.1.8 for the latest), but would be happy to get a link to the latest ones to continue trying.
- flashing the radio.zip mentionned in many comments breaks back to the "no Wifi and no SIM card detected" state, hopefully re-flashing NON-HLOS.bin 7.1.8 has re-enable previous better but incomplete state.
More raw info:
- the sim card is valid: it works in another phone straight away
- the antenna cable seems securely fastened (I opened the phone just to check this)
- I still have an IMEI when dialing *#06#, and it matches the number written on the sticker inside the phone.
- it behaves strangely when using the test interface *#*#4636#*#* : no network is displayed, has network type of "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" that I can't change despite the many other choices listed in the menu. I can't also turn on radio signal.
Any help/suggestions to get back my 3G/4G SIM card services ?
==== THE ANSWER ===
Thanks to @corkiejp:
I don't have Kenzo (Standard Chinese Redmi Note 3 Pro) architecture but Kate (International Redmi Note 3 Special Edition).
How to check your version.
I needed only to flash the correct KATE radio firmware to sort it out.

Flash correct fastboot rom for your device again

@vaab69 Are you sure you have the "Kenzo" version? Maybe you got the "Kate" model and are flashing the wrong roms for your device.

Can you be more precise ? What is "correct" fastboot rom ? I have many of them, and already flashed all of the official ones (stables and dev, global and chinese, MIUI) and that didn't bring my SIM services back.

Wow, thanks, this was it ! I spent a lot of time on this skimming through many places. Dunno how I have not came across this !
I just applied the kate radios, and Tada ! it worked.
More info BTW for any other guy stumbling on this thread and wanting to get straight with KATE:

Is there any special things to do on the thread to mark it resolved, or to thank you ?

Redmi Note 3 Pro (SD) does not start after flashing global developer

Hello everyone, I have a problem on 2 telefoni.Ho purchased 3 redmi notes 3 pro (SD) for my family, one arrived with Italian and the other 2 no, I upgraded via miflash to my and I mounted version "Note 3 qualcomm last global developer version fastboot" on the official site en.miui.com and work fine on my device.
I then tried to do the same procedure on the other two phones arrived in China and end of the flash without any error and selecting the option to flash, none of the two phones on but at some point I get this error message:
Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. to resume using your phone you need to perform a factory reset. when you set up your phone after the reset you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that backed up to your google account.
The phone at this point is blocked, dont start.
The bootloader is blocked!!
To remedy I tried to flash another rom, rom work with the other mobile phones but no longer read the sim !!
Now the questions are two:
1) How is it possible that on 3 identical cell and performing the same procedure one works and 2 no ??
2) that I could mount version that has the Italian as the language ??
If you were to continue to have the error not advise me sims to perform the procedure for the recovery dell'imei ?? I checked in the settings and under the written SIM1 and SIM2 is an IMEI code ....

Hi Dear, I have same situation like yours
did u find any solution?
best regards
Did you select clean all before flashing ?
Read this thread
https://xiaomi.eu/community/index.php?threads/35527/
I apologize for writing late but I really take long to find the solution to my problem that I have solved the question in a casual mode...!!
I purchased this 3 cell, at the same store but at different time, the first phone is a snapdragon edition, but the other 2 phone are SPECIAL EDITION....
The store sent me the different phones and do not know why, without telling me, the outer box is not clear, bear the same inscription.
I found out by accident, approaching the phones, I realized that one was slightly longer than the other and doing a search I found the measures that explained the difference, are therefore come to the conclusion that the two phones arrived after they were SPECIAL EDITION, would never have started with the Rom Snapdragon, downloaded the correct version everything is back to normal !!
All's well that ends well!!
Thanks!!

sim card slot 2 cannot be used in REDMI NOTE 3 PRO SNAPDRAGON

dear seniors, believe me i've tried to search for awhile for a solution and posts with similar problem, but unfortunately i coundlnt find it.
so here's the deal,
i am in indonesia, for some reason certain certain xiaomi devices that is sold in here is bootloader locked and 4G LTE BLOCKED.
unsatisfied with the condition i tried to find a solution for that and yes, the answer is there.
after fooling around for a few days (official unlock request and granted, rom flashing, and custom recovery flashing), i managed to somehow break the device (baseband "unknown", and IMEI missing for both sim slots). Tried to find a solution (yes, there was a solution to this), but before executing the solution, because it seems it can only recover IMEI in sim slot 1, i tried to flashback the rom with the original official rom (global stable 8.0.5.0) and the problem was fixed, both IMEI EXISTED.
so i assume the problem was gone, kept using it for few days with only 1 sim card, everything was fine, but then i tried to use 2 sim cards at the same time, and there it goes like this :
- when i use both sim slots, both sim card keeps restarting to find a signal, its like they cannot get a hold on a stable signal.
- when i use only sim 1, but sim 2 is used for SD card, everything is good.
- when i use only sim 2, but sim 1 is empty, the problem persisted, the signal keeps on restarting.
by those conditions i assume the problem is in sim card slot 2.
I noticed this redmi note 3 only have 1 IMEI number for both simcards, but i dont think that is the problem, because i checked other redmi note 3 phone, they dont have this problem (they also havent tried to unlocked BL, flash roms, etc) and i also tried to write the IMEI 2 SIM and changed the last number, so the IMEI on sim 1 and sim 2 is different by the last number, but still the problem persisted.
i really hope any one here will be kind enough to help me with this problem.

Baseband unknown, and no network connectivity after update to latest Xiaomi.eu ROM

Hello
I have a problem with my Redmi Note 3 (kenzo). After updating to the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM version (7.2.24) I cannot get the sim cards to work. They varies between not being detected at all, and being detected, but not being able to connect to the networks.
I still have an IMEI for both slots, as well as MAC address for wifi/bluetooth, but the baseband version is "unknown". The sim cards works in another phone (and other sim cards don't work in this).
I'm not really sure where to start looking, so any help is appreciated.

I have same on my Kate . Everything working great and it has baseband version -8976_GEN_pack-xxxxxxxxx...... I know its a different file for Kenzo but likely related to file you downloaded. Either you downloaded wrong one(xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote3Pro_7.2.24_v8-6.0.zip) or the file got corrupted somewhere along the way.
I suggest you do the whole process again.
Have you checked your phone is a Kenzo ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/5x1zgq/remi_note_3_pro_kenzo_baseband_unknown_and_no/
I am on 7.2.24 and i have no problems as such. I updated it from 7.2.16 via in built Updater app. I have zcx twrp installed. Since you have unknown baseband, my advice would be flash the latest firmware.....If unsuccessful then flash using MI flash tool via EDL mode

IMEI trouble with redmi 5 plus

Hi guys, my uncle has given me his redmi 5 plus (Vince) for tinkering around or to fix, to say.
It was dead after minor ingress of water droplets. And person who my uncle gave phone to, recovered the mobile but it's IMEI numbers are lost.
So it's not getting any network.
So far I tried to flash lot many ROMs on it, developer global, global stable, China stable but condition is same.
Strange thing I observed is, in fastboot mode miflashtool gives error for all the ROMs...
Modem error.
And I can flash successfully only in edl model with testpoint method.
Btw mobile is stock, i.e bootloader is locked and it's not rooted. Has stock recovery as well.
And I can't unlock bootloader without Sims functioning based on requirements of xioami.
I could re instate imei numbers finally with one desktop app and opening diag port with ussd code but still mobile isn't getting any network (with back cover opened. I haven't installed it back yet since it's too hard to remove it if required. Don't know whether it has something to do with network reception.)
Don't know what's the reason as I am not aware of telecom technicalities like baseband etc.
So any inputs are welcome and appreciated.

i also have the same problem.its a hardware issue..the radio module is damaged which comes pre attatched with the main board.i visited service center they told i had to replace mainboard which cost around 11k.better buy a new phone instead.but the phone is working absolutely fine only the signal is not coming.
I also have similar problem. Constant wifi and mobile service droping. On MIUI 11 and Lineage 17.1(custom rom not helped). Maybe someone will answer on this problem?
Hi there,
May be you already did this. But out of curiosity wants you to know that you can try this if not yet done. May be your phone network come back Alive.
Go to settings > my device > all specs > internal storage
Click on this for couple of times 3 to 4 times.. then you will be entering phone information.
Select phone information 1 and turn on mobile radio power button there. Like wise for the other sim. May be it's turned off there and is the reason for the problem.
I am sorry if it didn't help. Anyway keep trying until you succeed is the secret. Thanks
Cheers

How he managed to repair the imei. I haven't found a solution yet. Help me please.
Hi to everyone..Had the same problem, phone was wet previously. Took it to service (not Xiaomi's). They changed the charging port and told me that the radio is on the same component. After the change signal is like before, everything working great. Hope this helps someone..

Yes, but it lasted just ten days..Then burned a capacitor on the motherboard and phone was dead.

And this is why I may just give up on my f1, after replacing the volume buttons I just do not trust the handset anymore.
