Hi Guys. I started a new thread about a week ago but no one has answered in a while and i'm really desperate, confused, and fear for the life of my phone. I had BeastMOD ROM II v3.0 for about a month and one night i turned it off for a minute and turned it back on and i had lost network, i checked and i had no IMEI or Baseband version. I tried a method from another user that is supposed to restore to stock and remove root and it did but it didn't fix the network problem and it would reboot my phone constantly. When i try to do a restore of my very first backup before installing any ROM it gives me a "MD5 mismatch!" error and am very confused. i would really appreciate if someone with free time stayed in contact with me to fix this until it is fixed and give some suggestions.
Did you ODIN back to stock? Or cwm back to stock?

I had the exact same problem with my co-workers phone. Since the unlock/efs files have been stashed away in our phone there is no hope in restoring the backups that the device automagically creates.
Your phone is a pricey media player. You need to explore your replacement options or seek a Samsung repair center to have the baseband fixed.

so are you saying that "I" can't fix it and that i should just give up or what could i do to fix it?
Isn't there any way to fix the baseband or IMEI problem, is this a problem with my radio?
The files that control your baseband/radio have become corrupt. It seems to happen at random. You didn't happen to be messing with heimdial(sp?) were you?
There is no way that you can fix your phone unless you go into a Samsung service center, steal their equipment, and learn how to use it.
Flash back to stock, unroot, and ______________. I work for T-Mobile so I'll let you fill that blank in yourself lolol.

Even if you ODIN back to stock the files in your efs directory do not get modified (hence why you keep your IMEI between roms.)

at random? so that means it wasn't my fault? bkz i rooted, flashed the ROM all correctly and was perfect for about a month and it just suddenly happened out of nowhere. I'm on a tight budget and just wanna get this nightmare over with. so do you have any method to return to stock and get rid of any evidence and then get it fixed by warranty? or is this good: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/

Thank you both
that should be good, but I believe the rom is still deodexed, but they don't really check for that anyways.
Deodexed?? Srry i'm not familiar with that

Ive been rooted for the past 3 days with zero issues and no bloatware installed. Everything was great until today. I left for work and then I got zero data. Checked in my settings and it didnt even have my number in there or anything, just showed zero about a network or anything. Took it back to t-mobile today and they tried to hard reboot it and now I cant even get to the main screen. Tried a stock rom to recover it to factory and nothing. When I turn it on it just shows samsung now. Is there a way to go back to stock with odin or anything I can do?
Also when I boot into recovery its no longer cwm, and when I uploaded another stock rom onto it, I cant even see the sd card now.
Odin a stock rom. Your just soft bricked if you still have some activity.

Heres a tar. Of the 2.3.6 update with wifi calling also beforehand flash stock recovery via odin if u dont have it already....then flash this tar. Good luck

Edit....it is totally stock so you will be good then for root just use melvins root process it works u might have to flash root 2 or 3 times while in recovery . But it works
Is there a link to the stock recovery? All im seeing is cwm.

Heres the root and cwm (recovery) thread like i said do this after your rom is odined on device. Flash cwm then go into cwm make backup let it finish then attempt root. (i said backup cuz u always should do this) also when looking for a file in odin hit pda then search for your tar. U downloaded select it and start odin!

Ok I finally got back to stock setup but I still have zero data and when I go into the status menu its unknown network, no signal, no mobile, and it says out of service. I did get a new sim card from t-mobile earlier today but both do the same thing. Phone defect or a problem caused by rooting?

That is the root I had on my phone all week before my phone became "out of service state". All I did was delete bloatware I would never use or want and it worked fine for 3 days, zero issues.
Nah cant be.....thats weird idk dude sorry i tried i got one more suggestion go to rootzwiki.com go to there forums and go to our gs2 variant and hit up development section whitehawkx has the flashable modem as a zip so u can flash it in cwm. Try that. Because it sounds baseband related (modem)

I just removed the t-mobile mall,tv and other crap like that. The email app, basic apps like that, and the free games. I had everything backed up as well so I know it wasn't anything I deleted.
100% stock phone now, reflashed the modem seperate, 2 sim cards and still have an out of service phone. Has to be a hardware issue. I can use wifi and get online and app market with no problem but nothing from t-mobile.
So I was wondering if any of you have heard of a phone not urning on at all. Like no download mode, no recovery, NOTHING!!! Mine just did it out of nowhere...

Yes, that happened to me on monday when my phone first arrived. I ended up getting a new phone from the t-mobile store by me. Plugging in the usb cable to charge the battery didnt even work. The ONLY thing I think that causes this is having re-partition and F. Reset time checked off in odin. On my replacement phone I was very careful to double check everything checked off and not checked along with software chosen and it then worked like a charm. If your phone blacked out you need to get it replaced, I havent read of anyway to fix that problem.
Hello, well here i have been searching for over a year and reading the forums as well and getting more and more frustrated and need a straight forward answer from some one.
Issue 1 i would like to have a custom rom on my phone BUT and a big but it is, that the signal not be reduced in Any way i would not even settle for 1/2 db loss. from what i have been reading the biggest problem is screwing with roms that change the modem file. (am i right?) basicly what i would like is to have a stock android rom (vanilla) like cleanrom, but have my phone signal absolutely equal to my stock, of course if it got better which i don't expect it to, i wouldn't object to that.
Issue 2 How can i back up my current modem on my phone, i have yet to find any info how to do this step by step, or even find a true stock modem file from telus.
Issue 3 Is there a way that if i screw everything up and get no signal or less signal, a way to truly back up the entire phone so i could revert back to the way i am now 100%? ( an example would be if i had a computer and had made a image and burnt it to a cd if i screwed up the computer i would just reload the image and i would be back with every little crum of data from when i made the image). From what i have been reading it seems like most all backup of the current state of a phone don't include 100% everything, am i right or wrong?
Issue 4 Is there any true stock android (vanilla) rom out there ie. not something that someone other than google has made?
Anyway, accept my appreciation in advance for your help, maby i am just stuck with the stock telus offering but i am hoping for some enlightenment.
Oh and one more thing before i go one of the main things about stock that is really ticking me off is outgoing or incoming mms messages that are just pictures show up as a slide show, from what i have read feature.xml has a setting that i can add to fix this BUT i don't have feature.xml on my phone, do i have to download it somewhere and if so i have seached high and low for it and nothing plus is there a specifically formatted feature.xml for telus I317M?
Once again thanks in advance!
There are numerous custom ROMS that do not touch or include a MODEM, so there is nothing to mess-up as it relates to your signal strength. Your only concern needs to be selecting the correct kernel and ensuring you have your EFS partition (containing your IMEI) backed up.

Using ClockWorkMode to create a NANDroid backup and (if needed) restore using a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM is the process you are asking about. THis will fix a soft-brick.
A hard brick...is another story.

Vanilla, would be something like the "plain/boring" interface that comes with the Nexus4. This would NOT have TouchWiz. Your S-Pen will no longer work as there are no drivers for it in the Vanilla interface. It was Samsung that wrote the drivers for the S-Pen and implemented the functionality for S-note and the gestures. Also, the integrated Wacom screen would be useless in the Vanilla interface until someone adds something to the Vanilla configuration that Google deployed (didn't you say you only wanted Google's version?).

I believe your i317M has it too. Most of the good stuff is tied into your CSC anyway, so it's not worth the effort to mess with that. I'd spend the time to play around with the build.prop instead.

Your easiest option is to simply root your Stock ROM and debloat the carrier bloatware. If anything goes wrong, you can always use ODIN to flash the stock firmware (and not lose anything in the process).

I use Telus Note 2 so I'll answer your questions based on my experience.
1) I don't notice signal differences. I've used stock roms, modded touchwiz roms, vanilla android, and I don't notice a signal difference. That being said, I don't check my signal because it's not as important as you finding it important. I don't think an issue at all.
2) Just make a nandroid backup after rooting your phone. Rooting won't change your modem. In TWRP recovery, you can nandroid backup with the modem. Also, some custom ROM threads, e.g. JEDI or Cleanrom have TELUS modems in the original post. You can flash that if your modem is changed (and as above poster mentioned, a lot of the ROMs don't even touch the modem anyways)
3) Nandroid (after rooting). You could also download the stock rom that you are on at the moment on www.sammobile.com (whether it's 4.1.1 or 4.1.2)
4) I don't know what you exactly want. CM? SlimBean? Clairfy please.
Also, I don't use MMS so I can't tell you. But you could always try a custom ROM to see if that helps. I use CleanRom 5.0 myself right now and it's been working fine.

Hi
I flew off half cocked. I flashed something on ODIN that gave me root but it appears I no longer have mobile data. Ok - it's been fun but where might be the original file for my phone?
i317m from bell. I am downloading the firmware from SAMmobile now - will that be all I need? Aw heck I am dangerous.

Mobile data? Have you checked you apn settings?
Sent from my phone
I live in the sticks, haven't touched my modem files at all (running ProBam) but I recently noticed that while I can send pix as attachments to texts, I cannot receive them. If someone tries to send me a pic, nothing happens. I have tried probably a hundred different APN name settings, nothing seems to make a difference one way or another. There are approximately seven trillion results if you do a Google search on the subject, with just under seven trillion different 'answers'.
As for the modem files themselves, I have never touched mine (other than to back them up) and I am running the MA3 modem on my Telus phone. One thing I have noticed is that I never get LTE, not even when I go to the city where it is, but... Otherwise, I can't complain about the speed. I would be more curious about battery life and wi-fi speeds when it came to modem files, there is a chance that the older modem would work better for people in the sticks.
So I went to far with modding, I didn't know when to stop, but now I do.
I have ROM toolbox (pro) and i started modding my phone like crazy, changing boot animations, icons and so on then i decided to change my framework (big mistake) But i still did it anyways all though it said use with extreme caution and i didn't think anything about it so i still did it and I made a backup it said it needed to reboot for it to work so I rebooted it turned on and everything slid the unlock slide and drew the unlock pattern and it froze and after about 5 seconds it restarted, i can do anything but unlock it and make an emergency call, when i tap emergency call it doesn't do anything not even restart, I have USB Debugging on and my backup of the framework is on my SD card, anything else you need just comment and i will tell you
All you have to do is go into recovery and restore a backup. You should still be able to get into recovery.

Only if you had a nandroid backup in recovery... There is a cwm installer for locked bootloaders. I used it for a while when I first got this phone. But that's the only way unless you manually push the old framework back into it then set permissions

I'm just copying this from a previous post of mine on another thread.
The safest, easiest, and most foolproof way to restore to completely stock ROM and recovery would be through Samsung Kies. You can download Samsung's KIES software here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Once in KIES, you would plug in your phone to the USB port and, if needed, download any drivers for your phone. Then, you would follow this path: Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initilisation. This will give you a warning that you will lose all your stored data on the phone, and will offer you to make a backup -- a very limited backup -- of information on your phone. If you don't have any worthwhile information, I'd skip the backup and go right to stock ROM/recovery restore.
Also, I am pretty sure you have to be on a Touchwiz ROM -- rooted/unrooted -- to restore. Recovery will not affect the ability to restore via Kies.
Caveat: Even though you do a complete stock restore via Kies, that will not reset the flash count in the bootloader. There is no way to reset it, and does indicate tampering even though you're on stock.
Hope this helps.

There is no known way to reset the KNOX trip status. That's what I was referring to. Once you flash something in ODIN it trips the KNOX indicator. I guess it's not quite the sams as a flash count, now that I think about it.
You are correct in that there is a way to show the phone status as "official" but that's purely cosmetic.
Oh OK. Gotcha. I wasn't even thinking about Knox when I put that. Do they actually check that if you have to go in for warranty work, or is taking them a smashed phone the only way around that?

I haven't the slightest idea. But, I imagine that if you don't let on that it is/was rooted and had a custom ROM, then I don't see why they'd check.
Who knows, they may even have an interface where they plug the device in and it immediately checks the bootloader for tampering.
Again, just guessing.

Just try running the Kies process again. It should work. If not, you'll have to put the phone in download mode and flash the ROM via ODIN.

Oh OK. Gotcha. I wasn't even thinking about Knox when I put that. Do they actually check that if you have to go in for warranty work, or is taking them a smashed phone the only way around that?

Best Buy Geek Squad, I can personally attest to, doesn't care if your warranty bit was tripped. Depending on your issue or the tech you talk to, you might be best resetting your flash counter via Triangle Away and Odining the stock ROM. For my first problem I exchanged phones for a few weeks ago, which was that OTG didn't work any more but data to the PC and charging worked, several techs were flipping out because there was the custom KT747 splash screen/custom recovery. Perhaps just restoring the flash counter and putting on the stock recovery would've been enough, but I wanted to wipe my phone for them anyway and put it back 100% stock. I went home, Odined the stock ND8 tar, took it back and they ordered me a replacement phone.
The second time I exchanged phones just a week ago, because the power button on the refurb they gave me was faulty and causing it to turn on and off randomly like they do, I already had Odined the stock ND8 tar. When I told the tech up front that I had restored it completely to stock, he acted as if it didn't matter.
As far as Sprint, others have had the personal experience that they don't care about the warranty bit either. Word is that Samsung is the only one that checks or cares about the warranty bit. At least one person even reported that a refurb phone either Sprint or Geek Squad gave as a replacement already had the warranty bit tripped.

Just try running the Kies process again. It should work. If not, you'll have to put the phone in download mode and flash the ROM via ODIN.

I was thinking of adding that info too, but then I thought yeah, he's referring to the warranty bit, although the flash counter is a different thing, and still resettable via Triangle Away.

I wasnt getting many response. How other ppl got many responses for their threads in this section. Trying to get help asap. I was bugging out. Im going to delete it though.
When you say "unstable" what exactly do you mean? If you hold volume down+home button+power to turn the phone on it will/should enter download mode unless you are bricked. Go into download mode on the phone and put odin on your computer, get the stock tar file on your computer and flash it to your phone with odin.

Thats good to know though.
Also, if you didnt know how to get to download mode, you are trying to get to recovery by turning the phone on with volume up+home+power?

Try flashing the TAR file found here through Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

It should not. When I flash the TAR file, all my application data, including pictures and videos, remains.
The only reason that I hesitate in answering you is that I don't feel like I have a complete understanding on how your phone got locked in the first place.
Hopefully all your data is still there now. Flashing the TAR file won't do any harm.

TRY THIS FIRST! You can also try using Kies, here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWuH7Km6GSQ

My phone was rooted, but i was stupid enough to turn off OEM Enable and after that i turned the phone off and when i went to turn it on thats when the Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock came on. I know i was stupid to not know about this, but all i really care about the videos and picures. the apps and accounts are backed up.

Flashing the TAR file through Odin should still work for you. That will take you back to stock, unrooted and with the stock recovery, but all your data (pictures & videos) should still be there.
