The problem began when I tried the telus ICS rom. The only thing I flashed was the rom. But after a few hours I decided to revert back to stock UVLDE in preparation for the official TMO ICS release. To my surprise, after doing so, I plugged the phone into Kies and next to CSC it says within parenthesis (TLS- presumably denoting Telus, and not TMB- T-Mobile). Consequently, Kies reads a message that says my firmware is incompatible and cannot be upgraded through Kies. Is there any way to correct this idiotic situation in which I placed myself?
Thanks.
EDIT: Found an Odin UVKL1 TMB CSC MD5. That did the trick. Restored and back to normal

I'm looking for the original BUILD.PROP File.
For whatever reason when returning to stock in ODIN, the phone reverts to VTR (Videotron) and the menus are in French. Even when connected to Kies the phone is identified as VTR. All three firmwares obtained through CheckFUS (GLW-MCT-VTR) are identical. (The VTR version)
Even after manually setting Keyboard to English, certain applications continue to return to default French. I assume this is built into there rom? Beside the point. All flashes were full wipes through TWRP including system and internal storage.
I am very confused. Thanks for any help in providing that file.

Come on, it's a tiny little file. No one here in Canada can help me solve a legitimate problem?
Anyone?
Can't you ODIN the WIND/MOBILICITY firmware on? Maybe root the phone and flash T-MOB then go back to ODIN to stock for GLW/MCT
Yep

Done it, TMO installed, Flash back to stock via ODIN. Banm! Videotron, and in French. As I said all three Roms are identical. I just need to get the Build file to see if Kies will pick it up as Mobi or Wind.
Does anyone have that file? Of course!
Will anyone bother to help?:silly:
i have a bell galaxy note 2, after i flashed some custom ROM, my phone stop working, i have found similar problem on the sprint form, but doesn't know how to fix, please help.
Problem #1:
After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:
Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.
Problem #2:
When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).
i try odin a bell stock still doesn't work, and when i boot into recovery it keep saying is a RWC rogers phone, does that have something to do with the problem? i also try kies too, still no luck.

This has nothing to do with development.
However unless you have a backup. You'll need to return your phone for a new one.

sorry i posted wrong place, where can i get help, i am new to this, and how do i delete this post
Make sure you odin a rom that included the radio and kernel. Preferably a return to stock type thing. If that didn't work did you back up your efs partition?
Also what did you flash exactly?
OP please read the Forum Rules on posting in the correct Section, Moved & Thank You
I had same situation as you few days ago, I messed up my Rogers note ii with flashed 7100 rom to my i317m. I lost baseband, network imei. Luckily, after I flashed root injected FACTORY Stock rom to my rogers phone, the problem had been fixed, here is the link where you can download the root injected FACTORY Stock rom for you phone. Hopefully, you will get your phone fixed

i flashed a rogers rooted stock version rom on my phone, so now after i did recovery it just keep on shows is a RWC in the recovery mode doesn't matter which stock rom i flash, and its saying a BMC in the download more product name. so its really messed up. because i unlocked the phone from bell, so the guy at bell told me i void the warranty on it. now i don't know what i can do to fix my phone.
Pit CSC file
any idea where i can find a pit file for my bell note 2 so i can repartion it, or that's something only samsung has it
This was a big issue with the gs3 and they've come up with a solution in that thread so given the similarities I would think that would work with some tweaking for the different partitions on the note 2. Check out the gs3 forum & maybe get in touch.. they might be able to help.

hi guys. i have a note2 on sprint with the MA7 version of the OS. I'm trying to get 4.3, but i cant get any ota and when i try to connect to kies it says its unsupported. under system > about device, it shows "normal" (not modified). on KIES it shows PDA:MA7, PHONE:MA7, and CSC:LJC. from what ive researched, i need PDA and CSC to match. how do i do this.
quick history: i rooted it at one point then got tired of that and wanted the software updates so just this last week i reflashed some odin thing and got stock ma7. but i guess my csc didn't get changed. can anyone point me toward the right direction to get my csc changed?
Hello,
I'm trying to downgrade my Canadian Note 2 (SGH-i317M) from 4.3 back down to 4.1.2 but I'm having some issues.
First off, the Sammobile.com firmware site doesn't even have the file available anymore. I tried getting it for Virgin Mobile, but it says the file isn't found so I guess they deleted it off their servers. Since it should be exactly the same for any of the 3 carriers and their subsidiaries I tried flashing a Telus version and a Bell version but both failed to flash in Odin.
After the failed flash I get the yellow firmware failed text screen and it telling me to do an emergency recovery in Kies, which of course I can't do.
So, does anyone know why the flashing is failing?
Thanks

Looks like you have to do the battery pull/boot into recovery/factory reset steps described in the thread linked above.
I have the same problem. I have i317m though. I got 4.1.1 but can't get rid of the modified status, nor will it accept 4.1.2. Done that how to 5 times. Darn knoc had to mess up the fun.
Try installing 4.1.1 via odin
Hi All,
I have a problem, its on my wife's phone which makes it a huge problem, shes not very happy with me at the moment.
Her ACE 2 GT-I8160 was running very slow.
I used KIES to update it from 2.3.6 >> 4.1.2
After flashing the firmware with KIES the phone was running very slow, seemed like it wasn't able to handle the new software.
So I tried to flash the firmware back to 2.3.6 using odin.
My wifes phone was bought "off carrier" as a factory unlocked phone.
I downloaded the UK firmware cause I could not see any for the Irish region (we're in Ireland )
"Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 H3G I8160NELG2 Android 2.3.6 06.07.2012 1164437 Unlock Download File"
From what I understand this is the correct stock firmware?
Anyway, I flashed it using odin and now the phone will not get past the samsung logo.
I can boot into download mode but not recovery.
Any help would be very much appreciated and will definitely make my life at home a lot easier.
Cheers.

You have to flash the Russian 2.3.6-firmware first (I8160XXLK6) that consists of three seperated files for ODIN (pit, pda and csc). You can choose it on sammobile, look for the firmware checker to search their firmware archive by model and country (as a new member I am not yet allowed to post the link here).
After flashing your phone should be able to boot again. On this linked page you can also choose the correct Irish provider branded 4.1.2-firmware (METEOR, O2 or Three) that you can flash afterwards if you still want to.
Do not forget to do a factory reset after each flashing procedure!

Thanks for the reply Borgkubus.
Before I saw your post last night I had in fact flashed her phone back to Jelly Bean and was able to open the phone correctly. So flashing back to 4.1.2 got me past the boot logo freeze.
But now I am back to the original problem, the phone with the latest software lags and is so slow to do anything, its very frustrating to use it, so I need to investigate how to fix this.
You talk about installing the Russian ROM, whats the thinking behind this? Would I be able to install this russian rom and then flash to an Irish 2.3.6?
I am a bit apprehensive about using a PIT file, the last time I used one I messed up my S3. Is it safe to use the Russia rom and them falsh to an Irish 2.3.6? This might speed up the phone.
Also, one last thing, doing a factory reset after the flash, what does this do? My understanding is that it removes all user info, will it speed up the OS also?
Thanks again Borgkubus.
First of all, nobody can guarantee the safety of a flashing process. However, by following the common rules when flashing with ODIN you can minimize the risk of a brick. Just do it as soon as you know what you are doing.
The thinking behind using the Russian ROM (XXLK6) is the following: It's the only firmware on sammobile that consists of 3 parts, including the Gingerbread pit file for repartitioning. Doing so I never had any problems when downgrading to 2.3.6. And of course you can flash an Irish firmware afterwards, the Russian one is just an intermediate step.
The factory reset is needed to get a clean install. I recommend you to do this every time after flashing another firmware. This might also solve many problems such as boot loops, lags and so on.
Happy flashing,
Borgkubus
