Hi

Hi everyone

I am in the UK and bought the Note 4 Global version, as in the UK my provider uses Band 20
I am on Tesco, which piggy-backs the O2 network
Powered the phone on and it updated to Android 7 and MIUI 9.0.5.0

However, on inserting the sim I receive the No Network error.
Tesco give me the usual "we don't sell those handsets so we can't provide technical support blah blah" "It must be locked blah blah"
The sim is fine as it was in his iPhone 5 (and still is because this won't connect to Tesco)
The Mobile Networks setting has been changed to the right APN, but with no joy.

Took it to the Tesco Phone Shop this morning and they couldn't get any of their settings to work.
Consistently No Network.
Wouldn't even connect to the Tesco guy's Vodafone sim.
Tried a Virgin sim and it wouldn't connect either

Guessing something wrong with the global rom now?
As with Note 3, MIUI 8 and the missing modem drivers?

Sparked an email back to Geekbuying to see what they can do

On XDA they have said it's probably a hardware fault
Can there still be issues with missing modem drivers on 9.0.5.0?
Is it a hardware fault?
Is it a Global Rom fault?

Android 7.0 NRD90M
MIUI ver 9.0.5.0

Thanks to anyone who can help
 
probably hardware issue, was your box sealed or not ? Can you see if your two imei are correct phone query VS box values ?
personnally I. ordered 2 RN4 global, got them factory sealed, no issue at all since 8 months of heavy use.
