Ok, Be sure to have the phone disconnected from USB when going into download mode. When the screen shows "Downloading" then plug in the usb. Have the one click open already prior to plugging the phone in while in download mode.
You should see a yellow box with a com port number pop up in the one click app, then hit start...

Whatrs NEXT ?? any more suggestions ???
or
SO ANYONE WANA BUY a NEAR NEW PHONE with excellent BATTERY ???
((as phone is like 3 mths old and i have used it for nearly 50hrs ONLY))
Samsung Customer Service = told me = WARRNTY VOID ( sicne I messed with it - price to pay for being honest person!!)
Unplug the phone, remove the battery, let both sit apart for 5 minutes, put it back together and try again the download with ODIN
also, RESTORE the phone with the EL29 (FULL) or the FF18 (FULL) DO NOT use the no data versions.
Once you get that setup and the phone is working. then you can try and flash something else.
Hey here's a idea UN install drivers and Odin reinstall drivers then Odin take battery off phone unplug USB open Odin then turn phone in download Odin mode when computer trays to search windows update for driver don't let it let it finish installing till it says OK then go to Odin tab should be yellow click install if you need more in depth help email me [email protected]

Hi,
Finally got my galaxy tab to work after 6 hours. Now it is running well.
As it is 4 am here, i will post a guide for Singapore users once i wake up as i have meet with problems during the whole process.
Luckily, all information can be found on this forum but just that you will have to read through 20 plus pages from different topic in order to get the answer.
Super happy with my phone now!
*just another newbie* =)

Sorry to steal your thread. Singaporean tab user here as well. I think we should constantly update this thread for singapore users. I was running dxjm4 up til this morning when i decided to flash to roto-jme. spent the last few days reading the thread and considering whether to upgrade or not because of the lack of information for singapore users. so i decided to take the plunge and just go for the upgrade no risk no gain. my tab got stucked at the samsung logo after it auto rebooted but it was fine after i manually rebooted it
what i did was to upgrade from jm4 instead full flashing my tab. it turned out fine so far but there's one thing that puzzles me. the apps that roto mentioned were removed are still in my tab such as daily briefing etc.. do u have this problem as well?
Not Too Sure... I am new to Galaxy Tab or rather Android =P
But i suggest you do a full flash again.
i wasn't ready to even root my device initially as i only gotten my Tab on Saturday 7th Jan 2011.
One thing that actually forced me to root and flash the rom is the stock version whether bug or not i just couldn't sync with my company exchange 2010, which is critical for me.
Nonetheless, i haven't tried the jme v4 as yet (I suppose) as i did not know how to get it to work.
All i did was follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
And all went well, except that Data doesn't work.
Thoughout the whole process i did not use the file name "Roto-JME-Full-v4"
which set me thinking whether did i actually do the right thing.
One thing is most of the stock app was gone, baseband was change to I9000UGJK3, Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 and Build number is Froyo.XXJME.

Root devices *Important Points
And Yes i woke up...
Anyway i do not gain credit from the guide itself as everything can be found in this forum. If you want to thank people, please thank the people that writes the program and the trial & error people if you find my thread useful. I am just consolidating all the steps that i used to flash my Tab, important things to take note of and etc...
Step by step guide to Rooting:
Please read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
*Important points to Note when Rooting"
Process:
1) Connect your galaxy tab with debugging mode disabled and sync with Kies even once - You must be damn sure Kies can connect to your phone
2) Disconnect it and enable debugging mode from Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
3) Connect the tab again to PC and click on home button so that Tab comes out of Kies connection - I found that after USB Debugging is turn off, Kies can still find your phone but it will just appear as Connecting... on the top left hand side of Kies. (I left my Kies on throughout the process)
4) Launch SuperOneClick.exe
5) Click on root and wait for 5-10 Mins - it stated 5 - 10 min but it took like 5 - 10 sec for SuperOneClick to prompt me saying that device is rooted.
And that all for Rooting whole process took me about 5 min Including all the reading. (Simple Great Job by SuperOneClick!)
Now comes the slightly complicated part: Flashing New Roms
Below is the thread that is used
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
What i did was:
1) Download OdinV3 1.7 (Provided in the thread 895827)
2) Download Addon-JME-Modem.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
3) Download P1_add_hidden.pit (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
4) Download Roto-JME-FmtIntSD.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
Additional:
I also downloaded (But till now i have not use any of the file below)
1) Roto-JME-FmtIntSD-v2.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
2) Roto-JME-Upgrade-v4.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
Why is it not used, i myself is not too sure. For FmtIntSD alot of people is asking which is it to use as there are 2 different version 1 & 2 (i Suppose).
I have used the Version 1, as the time posted in the FTP link seem to be later than Version 2.
Also as thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827 shows in the screenshot, under tab CSC: Addon-JME-Hidden.Tar, this file is missing plus confirmation from the thread saying that it will fine without it.
Once downloaded, it is time to get to business =)
Steps i took:
1) Startup Odin
2) Connect Galaxy Tab to Kies make sure Kies is able to connect to the device and is able to Sync with device (Toggle with the USB Debugging option Either On or OFF) *My kies is never turn off from the start Rooting to Flashing* i think in order for Odin to work properly, Kies must be able to detect the device is been plugged in. (Just my Thought)
3) At this point of time Odin will also detect the device been plugged in as show in the screenshot provided in thread 895827. The yellow box will appear stating COM10 or 11 or 12 (DOesn't matter what com Number)..... Left hand bottom of ordin will also show Added!
Checked Make sure and double checked.... Yeah the next part!!!
4) Unplugged my phone from the USB
5) Off my phone
5) On my phone to get to the downloading mode (Hold Power Button and Volume Down Button)
6) Checked my Odin, Bottom left log shows REMOVED!
Hell Ya exactly the same as the sceenshot.....
7) Plugged in my phone with the Downloading screen....
8) Waited.... Waited..... 5 min pass..... Windows 7 is still searching for "Gadget Serial Port" Odin didn't detect the device connected.... don't have to worry Windows 7 will eventually find the driver, just got to give it sometime (Just in case you meet with the same problem like i did, Windows 7 took almost 10 min for the device to be ready)
9) Check Odin, Bottom left hand log.... ADDED!
Almost there.....
10) Plant in all the .Tar file as show in screenshot (Thread 895827)
*Please make sure you unzip the .rar file the logo is similar to winrar icon once you unzip. Can get a little messy, what i did was unzip and delete the original zip file that i downloaded. Remember JME-Hidden.Tar is not needed, just leave it blank*
11) Tick the "Re-partition" in Odin
Now you are all ready to start, double check all the setting and click the "Start" in Odin... =)
12) Pray.... Pray... Pray....
Whole process took me about 5 min, Odin will show you the details as it is flashing, Installing and Bla Bla Bla.... Once it is ready, Odin will prompt you either Successful or Failed...
Phone will automatically restart. Just leave it till you see the main screen comes out.
* I Succeed on my first try, so if you fail i guess you got more reading to do than me, but i am sorry that i am unable to help if you fail at this point*
Now then all good, checked my phone all seem well... did a call to my house number, Working....
Now the complication that i faced: My 3G (data Services) is NOT RUNNING!!!!
Did a search on the forum and found a few threads that is helpful:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901021
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845263&highlight=modem.bin&page=3
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273&highlight=modem_bell_i9000
* I Have attached the modem.bin that i use to get my 3G working, but before you download the attachment please do a few check as stated below.Things to check if your 3G (Data Service) is not working:
1) APNs setting
Setting>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
2) Select the Access Point Names and see if there is any setting inside.
3) If it shows "No Setting"
4) Tab on the bottom left hand corner of your galaxy tab, "MENU" button beside the "Home" buttom
5) select "Add APN"
6) Use the information below, key in whatever is there. Those that you don't know just leave it blank. (As long as your are in Singapore i believe you know which telco you are with)
StarHub (Singapore)
APN: shwap or shwapint
Leave user/pass blank.
M1 (Singapore)
APN: sunsurf
user: 65 pass:
user123
swirlyMMS :
MMSC and Proxy server settings MMSC : http://mmsgw:8002/
Proxy : 172.16.14.10:8080
MMS-specific APN Settings
APN: miworld
username:65
password:user123
SingTel (Singapore)
APN: internet
Username: 65IDEAS (or blank)
Password: IDEAS (or blank)
Once Key-in "MENU" button again and safe the setting, now go back to your APNs and check to see if you have selected the setting you key-in (Button on the right hand side will be "GREEN"
Now Wait & Pray that the logo "3G" or "H" appear on the top beside your signal strenght bar.
if no launch your dialer (Press Phone) and Dial *#2263# select "automatic" 1st option. (Select it once and exit by pressing "HOME" or "BACK")
Wait & Pray....
I believe this should get it going as under JME-Modem.zip, the modem should already be in.
__________________ I sincerely hope that you do not have to do the step below________________________________________________
If the 3G or H is still not showing after you tried the above step. Download the modem.bin (Attachment in this thread modem_bell_i9000.zip)
Then follow the step below:
1) Unzip the file
2) startup Odin
3) Browse for the Modem.bin, using Odin "Phone" Tab (File you unzip from the attachment downloaded from here)
4) off your phone and boot it up to the "DOWNLOADING SCREEN"
Checklist:
5) Re-partition is NOT tick
6) Odin detect your device
Hit "Start" and wait for your phone to reboot.
*I succeed with this flashing of modem, if you fail all i can say is good luck*
Once your phone is up, check on the APNs setting again (Key-in the details is there is nothing in the list) Check on *#2263# and set it as automatic.
Then End.....
Conclusion:
I use the exact same step for my phone, and get it going. I hope it helps you.
Again i would want to highlight that none of the above is by me, all information can be found in thread posted by other users. Please give thanks to them as they are the one doing the job, taking risk to try ROMs, Root and etc...
=) i hope my thread helps anyone with the same problem as me...
PS: DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE IF THE ABOVE GUIDE DOESN"T WORK FOR YOU.
Hi Kay Kiat,
I Seriously don't know. See the steps i posted, i believe it is because i flash a i9000 modem in that is why my baseband is weird. =p
i believe all i need to do is to re-flash the Jme modem in, and it should be right.
But currently at work no time to try. haha
Best Regards
Hi guys, Singapore GT user here also. Looking forward to try out your guide.
EDIT: Just flashed Roto's JME-Full-v4 with repartition. All works fine. No modem flash required.

are you talking about the keyboard?
Hi,
wanted to share my experience from flashing this Rom.
The way I've done it is download the latest full version find in the ftp site (not the archive) directory and using Odin to fladh my tab. I also downloaded all the other files but did not use them.
Overall, this rom is good. It solved my exchange problem but i've lost a few things as well. There's no more chinese input and i'm no longer able to zoom and pinch on dolphin browser. Does anubody has any solutions to these problems?
Thx.

The Roto-JME-Full-v4 will format the internal sdcard only if it is corrupted. So you can shorten the steps to just flashing that one firmware. The ones in the archive are there just in case we needed to test something.
APN settings
Hi
Did you guys copy down the APN settings and did you manage to get your MMS working? I only have my 3G working. Was trying out the different settings to get MMS working too.
ps: for chinese input, can just install google pinyin. been using it since Im only android. swype does have chinese input but the one on the tab doesnt have it. I was testing the beta using my hero and i can do chinese input using the swype keyboard. i wonder if there is anyway to update the swype version to the latest one released by them.

You'll need to goto Setting-Locale and text, check the Penpower Input Method. After that, at any input screen, press & hold - then select the input method.

Hi guys!
Just recently I bought the "HDC Galaxy Note 2" off of fastcardtech. I got it a few days ago, am fairly pleased with it except for the slight miscalibrated touch screen. There are some apps on various markets aiming to fix this by re-applying new calibrations. The problem is that you'll have to be rooted in order to run them.
The phone comes with a built-in calibration setting, called "Als_ps calibration", which you can utizile to correct the sensor. Alas, it only corrects the phone's recognition of obstacles placed above it, so that you accidentaly wouldn't press any undesired button during a call.
Phone: http://www.fastcardtech.com/Galaxy-Note-2-Mega
Here's what I've done so far!
Enabled USB-debugging and installed USB-drivers. [MT65xx_USB_Driver.zip]
Tried the bin4ry root method, normal mode. [Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.zip]
This method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Everything works just fine until the phone reboots. Bin4ry is then unable to mount or copy the last files needed to apply root permission, see attached picture.
I have attached my specs in a screenshot, nevermind the quality, t'was done by another crap-camera! Sorry ;]
Any kind soul who can help me root this thing?
Edit:
Rooting this device has been made possible by GT35pro. See posts below.

After you have clockwork mod recovery, use it to flash the root access into the phone.

The phone comes with a built-in calibration setting, called "Als_ps calibration", which you can utizile to correct the sensor. Alas, it only corrects the phone's recognition of obstacles placed above it, so that you accidentaly wouldn't press any undesired button during a call.
Phone: http://www.fastcardtech.com/Galaxy-Note-2-Mega
Here's what I've done so far!
Enabled USB-debugging and installed USB-drivers. [MT65xx_USB_Driver.zip]
Tried the bin4ry root method, normal mode. [Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.zip]
This method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Everything works just fine until the phone reboots. Bin4ry is then unable to mount or copy the last files needed to apply root permission, see attached picture.
I have attached my specs in a screenshot, nevermind the quality, t'was done by another crap-camera! Sorry ;]
Any kind soul who can help me root this thing?

The one I got did not have that screen calibration problem. Everything works good. Anyway, root is available now.
Superb!
Thank you for sorting this out!

Extra Guide
Follow the link provided by GT35pro in his first post.
To everyone attempting this flash;
!! First of all, copy the Superuser.zip to the root of your internal phone memory or external SD Card.!!
* Use a high-quality mini-USB cable (The one that comes with your phone should work just fine)
* Connect your MEGA to your pc, without the battery inserted.
(This device will connect and disconnect, when it's visible, be sure to grab it and follow the next step)
* Make sure that you have the right drivers for MTK65xx preloader "mtk65xx Vcom driver" and install them through the Device Manager.
* Insert your battery again, with the cable still connected, and install the second MTK65xx preloader.
* Disconnect phone from pc and remove the battery
* Start up Smart flash Tool and select the scatter file included in the package.
* Now, select and tick the checkbox for Recovery only. Smart Flash Tool will complain about the flash, due to it not containing all the appropriate files needed for a "secure boot". Nevermind that pop-up and proceed with downloading.
* Start Download
* Insert the battery and connect your phone to your pc, with that, the flashing should start.
* Boot Phone into recovery mode (pwr button and vol - or vol +) and install superuser from ZIP-file.
* After reboot you should be rooted.

Fun Fact!
I actually managed to install a pre-rooted HDC S7100 rom on my MEGA.
The port isn't 100% accurate
-Invalid IMEI, this was fixed by Talkingmobile's guide; " how to write imei number for MTK 65XX " -Just google it!
-Auto-rotation is unavailable, no fix yet.
-Als_pl calibration is unavailable (resulting in active screen during call)
Besides that, the rom is arguably better than the MEGA's original N7100 rom, in terms of visual presentation.
Smooth transitions, vivid and vibrant colors would be a good example of aspects that would come out as improved over the original rom.
Interested in the S7100 rom? Just PM me and I'll provide the link.
Cheers!
S_ft_need_download_all_fail (4050)
I'm trying for several days, but always get this error in the flash tool: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Tried on Windows 7 x64, Windows 7 x32 and Windows XP SP3 (x32). Only on the Windows XP computer I was able to make a backup with Flash Tool using the Read Back option.
When I try to flash the red bar goes to 100% then the error message shows...
Does anyone get this error aswell, and did someone manage to solve this?
Please help, I'm in desperate need for root because I need touch screen calibration.
Thnx!!
YES! SUCCES!! I managed to root my HDC Mage :laugh: Did use another method though, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490 if you are interested.
Anyway, now back to calibrating the touchscreen. What tools are good do fix touchscreen issues? I already tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500, but I still am not satisfied.
Thnx :good:
Just curious, if anyone that owns an HDC, is actually located in the USA?

Because I tried to order 5 different phones from China including Fastcardtech; they couldn't ship for some reason; even got an empty box from ZOPO mobile. I ended up buying the BLU here in the US, I'm kind of glad it happened, since now I have an N'vidia Tegra 4 CPU, that runs circles around the dual-core phones.
I did order one more phone on ebay from China, been waiting for 2 weeks now. MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY EVEN ACTUALLY SHIP TO THE US AT ALL?
Thank to Paypal I was able to get refunded everytime.

An 80Xx error does not always mean device not connected. It can also mean there is something not right in the scatterfile (error 8038). You should take a look at the sp flash tool logfiles. You can post them here so I can have a look.

There is something wrong in the layout of the scatterfile. Can you post the logiles of sp flash tool? Just zip them all together.
I have had the exactly the same error with my HDC Mage. I just had to rename a small section of the scatterfile and then it was all good.
hi,
After spending many time trying to root my storex tab 901 I bought in france (Already installed on 4.1.1 with google play), Iwas finnaly able to root it using adb and command line.
to do so:
- Download attached file
- Download from google SDK usb_adb_driver
- Go to your device parameters-> USB -> enable debbuging mode
- create a c:\root folder on your windows XP computer then Extract the zip file attached into it.
- Plugin your device to the computer, when prompted for driver, use google sdk USB_ADB_Driver
- When done, open a windows terminal command line
- type: c:
- type: cd \
- type: cd root
- type: cd rootkit
- type: go.cmd
If everything goes well, your tablet should reboot. you can try installing the free app from google store called "Root checker" to confirm your device is properly rooted.
Also, if you lost the original rom and live suite, here is the link to download the latest build from storex web site:
(I will post the link later when I find it)
JB 4.2.2
CAUTION: USE THIS ROM AS YOUR OWN RISK.......Be sure you have the official rom in case it is not working for you. It appears that even though you have the same tablet Reference, depending on when you buy it, hardware might be a bit different and most likely you will take the risk of having a unusable Touch screen or wifi...
I found out you can fully use your Ezee Tab 901 4.2.2
you can install rom from Manta MID 13.
You will be able to install the rom using Livesuite.
Gain:
- Android 4.2.2
- Root Access out of the box
- Play store installed.
Everything will be working
For the link type in google:
MID13 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean - Manta Multimedia Info
select google link called: manta.info.pl
select the link catshare or 4shared.
Start live suite 1.7, select the download img file, do a format when prompted. You done.
When the tablet restart, go to the parameter icon, and change language to French or english
Procedure on the Ezee tab 901 with livesuit:
- completly turn off the tablet, unplug cable
- start livesuite and select the downloaded image file
- keep the VOL- button pressed and plug the usb cable
- without releasing the VOL- button press the Power button 6 times.
- You should hear windows sound saying a USB device has been plugged
- if windows request it, install the driver from Livesuitefolder\usbdriver
- Livesuite should automatically start the flashing process.
- when prompted, "Format device" press YEs.
- When it s 100% you tablet should reboot.
Done.
Note: I did not invent anything, thanks to the good work of MANTA team members. I just found out this rom works on my tablet out of the box.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing these tips. I'm gonna try to update to 4.2.2, hoping this is going to fix some problems with this tablet.
I've been looking a lot for information about how to update ezee tab 901, so you did definitely a great work !
edit : iflash went well, but touch screen is not responding anymore. Any idea of how to solve it ?
Thanks.

Hi,
did you try going into recovery mode and factory reset? (shutdown tabel completely and keep press on volume+key then press power button)
in the menu, using vol+/- scroll down to wipe factory reset and validate by pressing the power key.
Let me know how it goes.
btw, are you sure your tablet is a Ezee tab 901 and not 971?
Cheers
Hi,
Yes I've got 901 and not 971 (written on the back of the device). I tried factory reset , but still the same problem. However, I flashed again with the original rom, and then touch screen went functional again but the wifi switch is kinda "broken" : it's impossible to turn on wifi from the Settings menu.
I returned the tablet where I bought it, seems there's a sort of material problem with it :/

Im sorry to hear that, i dont think something is broken, i had the same issue with a memup tablet, even though it was a same reference, some model had different hardware, sonlike you after testing multiple rom i had only touch s creen and no wifi ( wifi switch went back to off when i tried to turn it on) or on other rom, i had working wifi but no touch screen.
I hope they will replace your device...

Fast custom ROM 4.2.2 by TOxico for Ezee tab 901
Guys,
I manage to find a very fast and usable rom for our tablet: (THanks to Toxico.) this rom will change your life.
All information and download are in the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=42274265
It should basically work on any A13 device with livesuit (tested on my Ezee tab 901 and on my 704CET mem up)
This rom comes with no TS driver, but there is all explanation and download to install the needed driver.
note: you might loose the camera though. I encourage you to read the full thread before going further and flash your tablet.
If you want to know the driver used on your tablet, run a adb shell and type lsmod (You will have a list of loaded/used driver.)
Dont be scared, everything is written in the toxico's thread
My only advice, if you dont know how to use adb, do not try it, this is not that easy.
I hope this will help.
Best regards.
As usual do it at your own risk and even more: make sure you have the original rom... just in case
Tutorial for 971.

Does anyone know a tutorial like this one but for the 971??
My brother-in-law wasn't using is so I'm thinking in tweaking it to see how it gets.

Hi, sorry i cant help you, it looks like the 971 is using a10 cpu, sôit can be different.
If you know what you are doing, u can try to backup your original firmware and test the solution i have provided from toxico in py post above. But there is no warranty it s going to work.
Any case, donnot forget google is your friend
Good luck
Unfornetly it seems google doens't like this tablet...
I'll see what I can do with some backups and all.
Thanks anyway!
I was flashing stock rooted FW to my AT&T note II. i clicked on 'Nand erase all' in odin while flashing and there was no pit file provided so re partition was unchecked.
ever since that was flashed my phone does not recognise any sim card, IMEI is "null / null" and the baseband is unknown.
all my internal memory shows in the application manager window to be free but in the storage section in settings, i have 0.00B left.
if i access my phone memory through a file explorer i can write on my /storage/sdcard0 partition but system does not recognise it.
i went through many XDA topics involving how to write imei number, how to restore baseband. cant find anything that would help me.
i have tried to install stock rom again, different versions of stock roms. tried to use pit files and stock rom. nothing worked.
i tried flashing the modem again using custom recovery but that did not help either.
is there a way out or i have a note ii with no phone functionality for the rest of its life?

had this happen after a hard brick
pls read entire thing before attempting
this is the method i used to fix
ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER/ OR UNINSTALL ALL PROGRAMS AND DRIVERS!!!!
You will need your Serial # and kies
after installing Kies and drivers goto tolls menu and select Firmware upgrade and Initialization (step one picture)
it will prompt u for your model # SGH-I317 (Step two pic)
after that it will ask for your serial #
then it prompt you to put you phone in download mode and plug it in this may take a few min and i would suggest going to the installing drivers. ie plugging in you phone in every mode so you computer recognizes it
once kies starts downloading to you phone you should be good to go it restart just like you pulled it out of the box
Thanks a lot

worked perfect i thought the phone was gone i had no IMIE no BASEBAND nothing i was able to fix the phone with these easy steps thanks for the post
I would love to try this out. However in my case the phone reboots way too soon for Kies to recognize it. However it does not reboot if I keep in on a MD1 modem, which of course will not recognize as a valid combination to get an update.
Sort of a catch 22.
Thanks
Thanks a lot mate. It worked well for me and my Note 2 is back to life after almost a stressful day with dead Note 2.
Thanks again!!

THANK YOU!!!! This fixed my issue. Late last night I posted about not transferring the rom files to my phone before I cleaned it off. Would only boot to recovery. The only ROM I had access to was will03's CM11 4.4 nightly. The last one I tried blew out my baseband and IMEI so I was hoping it was fixed in the latest.
I was able to get 4.4 onto my phone but it didn't recognize the Sim and the baseband and imei were unknown. The last time this happened, I used a back to stock pack I got off of these forums (Stock > Root > Triangle Away > Unroot) and that worked.
This was much cleaner for me since I was at work and didn't have access to my stuff. The only thing it didn't do was reset the flash counter, which is fine. I can do that myself.
Thanks again!
Baseband was updated for mj5 modem also flashing wrong meaning international versions just a thought

I was able to get every thing else except, my phone stopped recognizing the my Indian SIM (i.e. vodafone provider). I got all note 3 features working like charm (Air Command etc...). I just followed all the steps given by you @cobraa783. Still it's not able to restore my baseband, IMEI etc...
Please help me.

Use Kies to emergency recover back to stock 4.1.1.
Steps. (READ ALL BEFORE STARTING)
1.) Downloads Kies onto your pc
2.) Install drivers to pic
3.) Open Kies and go to TOOLS > instal/upgrade firmware.
4.) Kies will ask you for you device model. AT&T = SHE I317. And your serial number. Located behind the battery.
5.) Hit start in Kies it will down load the stock firmware to your PC. Follow the instructions.
6.) It will eventually ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it to the pc. Do this.
7.) Don't touch it. It is going to take about 10-20 min depending on your Internet speed and your computer.
When it is complete your phone will be back to stock. The same it was the day you pulled it out of the box.
***I would also make sure you back up any data on your phone because it will delete the sd card. It is also wise to remove any external storage sd.
****when finished you can re root using cf auto root or take the OTA update to get you back to 4.3.

Brand new note 4, went to odin CF.... everything started well, then the dog ran into the usb cable and ripped it out the pc.
Right now all the phone says is-
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I can get to download mode..nothing else.
tried to odin twrp... tried the full tar from stock roms...nothing takes... i could not find kies anywhere..found references they did away with it?
Any ideas? thanks
Open kies and Look in Kies menus.There must be an emergency recovery mode.Give it a try.
Sorry just realize that you don't have kies. .. but must find it on Samsung official software support.

I found kies , now it wants model and serial number for the recovery... I looked under the battery, all inside the case and on the phone box... tried every number twice, none are the dang serial number! Even used a magnifying glass and typed in numbers all over the inside the darn thing..
best i found online is its in the menu on the phone(can't get in at all)
- sprints web site is down, guess I wait and see if I can find the ## in my account somewhere

I have the remedy. Work for me. Down load Philz Touch.
Pull the battery. Re insert. Set phone to download. May have
to pull battery a few times and reinsert. Phone went into shock.
PDA. Hit start on old Odin 3.09. Untick flash. Enjoy cup coffee.

Uninstall all Kies and old Samsung Drivers. Reboot PC.
Go to www.samsung.com, under Owners & Support, select manuals & downloads, then in the search box after "Start by Entering Your Product's Model Number or Name"
Type in SM-N910P and select the color of the device you have, click manuals & downloads, the latest Samsung Driver as of this post should be 1.5.45.0. Or download the one you see.
Install the Samsung Driver.
Next download Odin v3.09, Grab it from >>> HERE <<<
Unzip onto an easily located spot. ( Desktop or on a Solid State Drive )
Kudos to rwilco12 for mirror.
NOTE: If you have this .tar SKIP THIS SENTENCE!
Download the Stock N910PVPU1ANK2 .tar files from >>> HERE <<<
and move it into the Odin folder
Kudos to viperboy for post and mirror.
Open Odin as an administrator ( accept UAC verification ) and don't touch anything within Odin as of yet.
Onward to your device, put it in download mode ( VOL DN+HOME+POWER, Press VOL UP on the dialogue to continue ) and plug in the device ( Recommended using rear USB Port @ 2.0 and default device cable ).
Let your PC finish the device installation ( A COM:## within a baby blue box will pop up at the top of Odin, wait for PC to finish installing device and after Odin Dialogue to say ADDED ).
Select AP and load in the .TAR file.
Double check what you've done thus far to make sure you didn't do anything wrong.
- Samsung 1.5.45.0 drivers installed
- Odin v3.09
- Stock NK2 .TAR file
- AP slot loaded with NK2 .TAR
Once you have everything setup, select START. If it starts with errors, try other Samsung device cables, other USB 2.0 ports ( 3.0 can be do-able, but with it being "2.0 compatible" can cause issues )
If it starts fine then it'll take 20 or more so minutes tops so do something in the time being. But if it can't be done via Odin, and it can't be done via Kies. Then send it in for repairs ( if download mode doesn't show KNOX WARRANTY VOID, then your in the clear to have it repaired )

This should do it.
Thanks for the replys! I have to catch a flight today so I swung by the sprint store and they could not flash it, so they gave me a new one
i never realized how dependant I've become on the darn smart phone... even though it was overnight into the morning, I felt lost without it..lol
