I have been experiencing a problem with 4G since I NAND unlocked my phone according to Toastcfh's procedure. The phone will connect to 4G and transfer data. The problem is that when data is sent after the phone has been idling, the 4G link drops and then reconnects. I've tried NAND restoring my phone to a point before the NAND unlock, but the problem persists. I did not have this problem until after NAND unlocking.
I don't know whether it is related to the above problem, but when I updated the radio to 1.39.00.05.31 after the NAND unlock, I did not see the same radio flashed correctly confirmation that I saw when I did the same update after only "half rooting" the phone. The radio update got stuck "formatting cache..." so I followed did as recommended by others and manually wiped the cache.
Does the NAND unlock process cause something to change that is not undoable? This is really screwing up my phone experience.
This is common, you need to reset your idle time via the MSL trip with the ##DATA# menu. I am at work and can't dig around in the forums but search for MSL and ##DATA# and you will find it.
Same boat here, look forward to the fix!

The only ROM/Radio combinations that I have been able to get full, stable 4g functionality (talk & Internet, stabile 4g connection ETC) has been....
1) Flash original RUU,
2) Do a Full root using Toasts steps 1&2,
3) Full wipe and flash a rooted stock Rom either 1.32.651.1 or 1.32.651.6 from FlipZ
4) Re-flashing radio 1.39.00.05.31 radio if you flash 1.32.651.6.
5) Increase the WIMAX Idle Time via
hit ##DATA# > Edit mode.
Put in your msl code
Chose WIMAX
Scroll down to Wimax_Idle_Sleep
Change the value from 10 to 300.
Click menu, commit changes and restart the phone.
I have tried most if not all of the custom ROMS using the same method and have not been able to get the same stability as I have with the rooted stock ROMS from FlipZ.

Thanks for the help. I am able to get a stable 4G link.
Makes me wonder though...why did that setting stop working once the phone was NAND unlocked? Did the value get changed?
We aren't sure.

Hello,
I hope someone has some idea as to what I can do to fix my T889 Note 2 as right now it has no signal, does not register on the TMobile network and even worse, after playing with it some more it seems I have erased the IMEI in the EFS folder... Here is what I did:
I was initially using the Jedi X 7.2 ROM with Perseus Kernel, and everything was just fine. But I guess I was itching for something else :laugh: ... Reading thru the threads here I saw that some of us had flashed AT&T roms like Cleanrom without any problems. They said Cleanrom did not include an AT&T radio so it would work just fine for the T889. But just to be sure, after full wipe and flashing Cleanrom, I have also flashed a Tmobile Modem and Perseus Pernel for T889. That's when the problems started....
After flashing Cleanrom I had NO signal and the network unknown message... At that point the phone still showed the IMEI number... I have tried going back to Jedi X and Odin back to stock, nothing helped.... It still showed Unknown Network, and Not registered on network, impossible to make calls....
Reading some more thru other XDA threads I saw that someone had posted a solution that had worked for him by going into the Service menu (by pressing *#197328640#) and then going to UMTS, then COMMON then NV REBUILD and then ERASES ALL EFS1/2/3....
At that time I was pretty desperate and seeing that it had worked for someone else with a similar problem I tried it immediately... Now that I really give it some thought, I can't believe I pressed Erase all EFS !! :laugh:
That's when I also got the phone showing me IMEI 0.... I guess now I have lost my IMEI as well? I have not made any backups, so restoring is not an option for me at this point !!
Would anyone have any ideas to help me revive this phone? thanks a lot :victory:
P.S. I should add that I still do have the IMEI number of course, it's written on the back of the phone and the original box as well...

Sorry you had to go through this man.. i was going through the same thing when i first got my phone. Xda didn't have a forum for the T-Mobile Note II so i decided to root and flash one of the international version Roms without even making a backup first (dumb of me) then i went ahead and flashed "Android Revolution HD" Rom and lost signal and IMEI showed Unknown.. so i asked for help but no answers.. and then "cmenard" dropped a stock Rom which i'm going to link you to.. i flashed that and flashed the modem on top and that solved the problem for me. So i will go ahead and give you the link to the Stock Rom and the modem i flashed to get my phone to work. Please follow the instrucations. Hope this helps!

Dude i lost my imei when i had my gs3 back in july.. I had no one to help me... thanks for hooking the dude up i can only wish someone like you helped me back then... you da man!!!!:good:
appreciate your kind words bro! I hope this helps him get his phone to work again. :fingers-crossed:
I would love to know if this worked for the people that posted no IMEI... If you could post if this worked... It would let me know to keep these two files in a special recovery folder. Thanks
Thanks very much Addis !!! I truly hope this works, will try as soon as I get home from work, in about an hour or so... After trying so many things I have doubts about everything now, but I am keeping my fingers crossed
(UPDATE) : Have managed to download the rom, I am not sure if the file is corrupted or anything, but I keep getting an error message: E:Can't open / external_sd/deodexed_UVALJ1.zip (bad)
Weird, since other roms have flashed just fine....
guys, one thing you MUST DO with gsm devices... back up your IMEI... this is actually stored in a partition on your device, and as of recent there is a handy little app in the themes and apps section to back it up. it is a free app found on the market and offered here on xda. before this there was a tool somebody created to back up and restore this partition
here is the app... download this, back up your IMEI (your efs partition). https://play.google.com/store/apps/...omizer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Thank you Addis, no need for you to upload, it seems I finally got a proper download... Flashed it with TeamWin Touch Recovery and no changes, I will try to flash it with CWM also, but that has given me problems with this file.... let's see... Thanks for your help, I will hit your thanks button as soon as I finish writing this...
If all else fails, I will just go ahead and return everything to factory settings and send it in for repair....
P.S. I should mention that I have used a tool found on the GS3 AT&T threads which has worked for my T889 to re-inject my IMEI number back... So now my IMEI number shows up again... But that's about it... Network is still listed as UNKNOWN and Status is listed as Disconnected...
Bestplayer55 I will send you a link to the thread where I have found the program used to reprogram your IMEI, in the evening when I get home.... While it has helped me get my IMEI back, I am still stuck without network or signal, but it may help you more

Have you gone into the settings menu, more settings, mobile network and tried connecting to T Mobile that way? If that doesn't work then try to reflash stock T Mobile ROM with Odin and it should reset your network.

Hello again,
Bestplayer55 and anyone else who might need this, this is the tool I have used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
It's written for the Galaxy S3 for AT&T and other carriers, but it worked for me on the T889 Note 2. Try to read all the instructions carefully .
One of the things you have to do is change a setting in the hidden menu which you access by dialing *#7284# using the stock dialer. In the hidden menu or PhoneUtil menu select USBSettingsMenu choose the correct mode and click ok. The correct mode for the Galaxy S3 is called RMNET + DM + MODEM mode, there was NO SUCH setting for my NOTE 2, but there is one that's very similar, so I chose that....
Then you jump to the section called IMEI Injection ... Pay attention to the way the IMEI is entered, it's a specific sequence, almost backwards....
You have the Instructions in the original thread there, or here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077805
In the end thanks to Peoplearmy for developing this tool.
P.S. I just got home from work, so I will keep trying to flash different roms, now that I got my IMEI number back... Hopefully I can restore service as well...

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I believe I have tried them before I lost my IMEI number, but I will try them again, it won't hurt !!
Phone is going back to Samsung for repair.... Nothing I have tried has worked ... Let's see what they can do
Hey I was messing with this on my T-Mobile Note II and I changed my RAT mode to WCDMA and now I'm unable to get LTE.
I've done EVERYTHING. I've even ODIN restored it. It WILL NOT connect to LTE anymore. Nothing I do to it makes it want to connect to LTE.
What do I do? Why won't it connect to LTE anymore even after flashing the factory image?
Will erasing EFS1/2/3 do anything to help or is that a really bad idea?
I have no clue what else there is to do. I've tried loading NV defaults but it gives an error for whatever reason.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 on the sprint network. Yesterday someone sent me a text and i tried to sent them a text back but my phone didn't have a signal. It reset itself a bunch of times. It stopped resetting and now there is no signal to the tower. I looked on my phone and Baseband version, network, mobile network type say unknown. service state is out of service, username is unavailable. mobile network state is disconnected, my phone number is unknown, min unknown, prl version unknown, meid unknown, imei unknown, iccid unknown. device status modified.
I rooted my phone when i first got it with the method that doesn't make your flash counter go up. I had super user installed and had the OTA survival mode checked and did the OTA update for multiwindow and then lost root. This wasn't a big deal to me so I just left it alone, everything worked. Its been a couple of months and then this happened. I reflashed a stock rom on the phone and that didn't fix anything. I rooted it with the Samsung Note 2 toolkit and that went well. But it somehow got stuck on the boot screen again after a while so i just reflashed to stock.
I downloaded QPST and entered my IMEI into the nv line 550 and clicked the write NV block and returned an error. Im stuck. I have insurance and I've only had the phone a couple of months. What the heck happened? Was it somekind of wipe? I have been working on this all day and I'm going to bed now, but can someone help me out?
I would not have been so quick to start messing with qpst.In most cases where ive seen this the imei and related numbers were fine and it was a system screw up. That said,This happened to me recently and even odin wouldnt fix it. I ran THIS and it brought me back so I would try that first.

thanks. I am downloading that now and will try it and let you know. I didn't want to start messing with qpst but i saw a tutorial that you can enter your imei back into your phone with it. i got my numbers off the box and went to work. but qpst would not write the values into my phone.
when i plug the usb into the phone a flag pops up in windows and says hardware id is missing as well.

i went to the link. i downloaded the file. it was a zip file so i put it on an sdcard and slapped it in my phone. i used the vol up, home key, and pwr key and then i used the update from zip file on external storage. it did some stuff and rebooted. i checked my flash counter and it went up and said i was running custom, custom.
i didn't see any instructions with your post that you linked and I probably didn't use that file the way it was supposed to be used. how exactly do you use it? and when i turned my phone on it still said baseband unknown.
thanks again for helping me with this.

Do you have Root Explorer? If baseband is showing unknown makes me wonder if build.prop is there and complete...?
It needed flashed in a custom recovery. Did u use twrp or cwm to flash it? If so, you did it right. Is it only the baseband thats unknown or everything still? Did you try a ##72786# dialer code reset?

I don't have root explorer on here right now because I was trying to return the phone back to stock for a return to the sprint store.

everything is still unknown.
when i dial ##72786# it goes to a meny labeled SCRTN but is blank with no options.
at this point I used triangle away and flashed the stock rom on my phone, it keeps randomly resetting. in the setttings it still has baseband unknown. i did the ota update and the build number is JROO3C.L900VPALJC
under status, everything is unknown and at the botton it says device modified.
when i put it into download mode right now it says custum binary: no ; current binary: samsung official; system status: custom
this started when the phone just started resetting a bunch after my buddy texted me and then it didn't have service and all the values were wiped, i just want to take it back to sprint because ive only had it for a couple of months. will the above values be ok for a trip to the sprint store?

I had this happen to me when I first got the phone and rooted. Scariest first day of ownership thought I was going to have to go in to sprint. Thankfully I flashed the full stock tar and my phone came back to life. Maybe you should try flashing it and see how it turns out for you.

as it is, does the spring store take your phone back if system status is custom and device says modified?
b.) if i can fix it, it would be better than taking it back. everything on the phone still works, but it obviously cant see a cell phone tower or make calls. data on wifi only type deal.
thanks for any help...

I'm not familiar with that EFS issue since I've never read about it. However I would try that tar I posted as a last resort since the stock zip didn't do anything for you. The issue you're describing is the exact same thing that happened to me and that tar brought me back. And about being custom/modified it all depends on the Sprint Rep you get. Some are cool about it some are not.

Update-
my phone is screwed. i got the MSL and put it in my phone and nothing happens. i have to take it back and get a new one.even though all the hardware works, just cant program the info back in the phone for meid, baseband, username, icc id, etc. etc. so no voice calls.
the bummer is that this all happened randomly. i wasn't messing with my phone at all and it was running great then it reset a bunch of times and then wiped everything. i don't know if it would have helped, but i highly reccomend everyone backing up their EFS. because you never know when this will happen to you.
take care, thanks for the help everyone.
Ok, I will start from the beginning of this debauchery.
I recently moved to a new state (Tennessee to be exact). I had 4 bars, and had great phone reception. Incoming and outgoing calls with absolutely no problems, but the web wouldn't load at all.
I am about 1 hour away from another time-zone and my phone kept changing its time, which caused my alarm to not go off and I have been late for work 4 times in the past 2 weeks because of this. This was the main reason I updated my PRL, as I thought it might fix this issue.
So, after updating it, I now have absolutely no signal. I might get a smidge of signal after walking around the house for 10 minutes, only to receive texts and maybe a voicemail if I am lucky. (I would call Boost, but I have no phone to use since this happened)
I am a total noob when it comes to android, this is my first android so please explain like I am five years old.
The phone is rooted, but only because I found a pretty easy to follow step-by-step guide.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

So, after updating it, I now have absolutely no signal. I might get a smidge of signal after walking around the house for 10 minutes, only to receive texts and maybe a voicemail if I am lucky. (I would call Boost, but I have no phone to use since this happened)
I am a total noob when it comes to android, this is my first android so please explain like I am five years old.
The phone is rooted, but only because I found a pretty easy to follow step-by-step guide.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Sorry for the late reply, I have been pretty busy with the move.
My phone is Fi22, and I am using this kernel-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
and I don't remember installing any custom ROM (Mainly because I couldn't find any that interested me that were compatible)
I do have a recovery (clockworkmod) but the last backup is to basically factory settings. And I don't want to do that unless absolutely necessary, and I have a feeling it might not fix the issue even if I do this.
I called Boost from work, and sat on the phone for 2 hours. They had me do ##72786#. Then they told me to drive around my house until I found a spot with full bars and then update the PRL and profile and it would "drag" the signal to my house.
So I did this, and the closest place was about a mile and a half to two miles out.
Sadly, this didn't fix it.
I am still about 3 months away from my deductible on the insurance that I pay, so breaking the phone and getting a new free one is not possible.

OK..from the link you gave..( a kernel update page )..I'm assuming you are on stock touch wiz with a custom kernel and cwm/agats recovery..good. Now I believe from what I read the kernel is based on modem fi27.That is a pretty new modem, the newest for ICS is fl24.. If I was you I would grab the fi27 and fl24 modems from rwilcos repository ( in zip format ) and flash one or the other, update you're PRL and profile and see which gives the best signal..This is not a direct science, you may have to try many different modems to find what works best in this new area..just be sure they are ICS modems..or you will not have data..If you need advice on how to flash a modem you can hit me back up..But its simple and there are a ton of guides around,as well as a guide in rwilcos repository page. Here is a link to the repo.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210 ...just scroll down to ICS modems (zip) and click on it..It will take you to a page with the downloads....Hope this was helpful. And don't forget to thank rwilco.. He does amazing things for this phone and forum..Good Luck

After flashing to Fi27, FL24, Fi25, Fi03, and FH23 nothing has changed (Fi25 and FH23 wouldn't even boot). I even tried clearing the data and updating PRL/profile.
Sadly, I am stuck with 1 bar in a 1'x1' area in my home.

Well..you didn't need to clear the data..Just clear cache and dalvik cache( under advanced ). Then reboot and update prl and profile.. This order for each modem you flash. But if you did this and still no service I'm afraid it is probably a location problem. You might look into putting a custom prl in..this will allow you to roam on different carriers. I have never tried it as I have good service in the windy city.But there are quite a few threads about it..seems always sprint people doing it. By the way..if you're on boost..I thought I seen that you are... You could try a boost modem..not sure how it would mesh with custom kernel..couldn't hurt though to try. Let me know. I'll dig around and see if I can come up with anything else.

Think I might of found something..read through it. Looks promising. I would think it would work for our boost phones since we really are sprint customers.. http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=231596 ...also check to see what you're roaming settings are set for in your phone. I have mine set to roam when ever..unlimited plan and I plan on holding them to it..lol

I just re-read you're op to see if I missed any info..I see that the web wouldn't load ..you know it might be that kernel...if I was you I would flash a stock kernel with Mobil Odin lite ( apk in xda somewhere, just search it ) You need the kernel to be in TAR Format for mobile Odin...Make sure its for boost and not sprint.. I believe this is where we messed up. You see. When you flashed that kernel before it was fine, but when you did the update it gave you a sprint prl. Now you have a sprint prl on stock boost ROM and a custom kernel built for a stock sprint ROM..See where I'm going with this.. Actually..if I was you I would down load a touch wiz ROM from the android development thread..make sure its ICS because you're not set up yet for jb..the blue Kuban ICS is awesome..follow the op in that thread to flash..I use Mobil Odin and the direct boot el29 kernel to flash Roms. If you want to go this route hit me back and I will post a step by step guide for you..
---------- Post added at 03:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------
. THIS IS FOR THE BLUE KUBAN ICS FL24
step one - download ROM , format all x 2 , fl24 modem , direct boot el29 kernel ..... Place on internel storage/root of sdcard
two. - install mobile Odin( lite or paid version ) lite version can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
three. - use mobile Odin to flash direct boot kernel. It will boot to recovery on its own.
four. - push volume up , volume down , volume up ....this will enable the power button to select you're choices.
five. - wipe data , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache
six. - flash format all x 2 zip
seven. - flash ROM..reboot..( el29 will not flash modems ) so flash it before hand or after the Kuban boots up..
.... You will need to flash a MMS fix zip for boost to get you MMS working after this or go into apn 's and change them manually..I can tell you how if you decide on this route..

I am going to try this, but I cant seem to find the kernel. I found GB - Direct Boot CWM, but not ICS. Is that the one I'm looking for?

I'm sorry...yes it is a gingerbread kernel..We couldn't flash from ICS back in the day, unless its a safe version like what you have now.. The emmc brick bug will brick you're device..So they made the el29 and el26 kernels for flashing. Most new kernels for ICS are safe now,unless specified in that kernels thread. And like I said..flash the modem now because el 29 will not flash modems. Let the ROM boot and chill for awhile before you flash anything else(if you decide too)..you can update you're prl as soon as the ROM boots.. If this doesn't get you home I'm afraid a custom prl is the next step..Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.. Let me know how it goes..

I went ahead and did everything that you said, and sadly it hasn't changed a thing.
I'm currently on PRL version 31104, which I believe is the most recent but I cant find any lists or information regarding boost PRL.

Can't find the zip..must be on home computer..I'm at work..,but
You can use the msl way, which involves a terminal emulator and the dialer code ##data# or you can use an APN shortcut app from play store or even Nova launcher.I use nova launcher because its the launcher I use anyway.. Long press the screen and pick shortcuts then activities. Scroll to settings any pick it. Then scroll down to APN..pick it. Back at home screen pick new shortcut..when APN screen pops up hit menu and pick add new APN. Then put in what I have in screen shots..save APN pick the circle beside new APN so its lit up and exit.send one to you're self to jump start it and make sure its working..Let me know if you have trouble.. I'm about to leave work and can give you a better guide in an hour,if you can't find anything else online..might need to do a reboot for it to work.

OK I'm home..let's fix you're MMS..The zip I have is for asop roms, so nogo there and some ROMs won't let you edit apns in list..So I believe this is the way to go...First you need you're msl number..you can get it by typing '' su '' into a terminal emulator,no quotations. Then hit enter. Next type '' getprop ril.MSL '' just how it looks, no quotations. This should give you a 6 digit number. If it doesn't you can go the dialer and type ##data# then click edit and enter any 6 digit number. It will give you an error. This is OK. Now go back to terminal emulator and repeat above steps. If none of this works..call boost. They will eventually give it to you. After you get the msl..go back to you're dialer and put the code back in(##data#). Click edit and enter msl. Then scroll down and click on others. Then click mmsc url and click on the url.. Then edit it '' http://myboostmobile.com '' hit OK..and exit this screen. Now send one to yourself..should work..

Reboot you're phone..also remember that this phone uses mobile data to send MMS..so with you're weak signal it might take awhile..you could use you're WiFi just to see if its working. And I think you will need to go into you're APN settings and pick the circle on the right of listed APN.It will probably say sprint but that doesn't matter. Then reboot..Sorry man, my brain is not working today. I should have told you that earlier.

I actually did that, but what fixed this for me was that in the paragraph you wrote "http://myboostmobile.com" (which I used). In the picture, yours said "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" and switching to that seemed to fix it after I rebooted again. Ok, so atleast im back to square one now lol.
But I do have this nice rom now, and Nova is awesome.
NO matter what Rom I put on after this happens there is no network,,wireless works fine and so does the roms. Right after I rommed the ASOP latest nightly I called to make sure it was working fine and it was..Let ggogle put all my applications on and update them and went to bed,..When I woke up there was no network...So i used recovery and used 3 or 4 of my backups but none of them solved the network problem. I opened up backups to see if there was a file missing and I cant find any...Im willing to send some $ if someone can help me. By the way this has happened 3 times before but all sprint guys do is get me another phone and Im afraid thats going to be stopping soon..I just need to find out why this is happening so it doesnt happen again..thanks

Sounds like a problem i had before. It is your baseband version. To fix you need to flash a stock/ish rom. In dialer do ##786# it will reset everything. Once you perform hands free activation you should be back up and running. After that make sure you flash a good mc2 baseband. After that you should be fine.
Quick question. You are on sprint and only flashing roms for the sprint phone? I have this happen when working on a couple ports from other note 2 variants.

yes only l900 roms on my sprint phone..Last time it was macksrom 5.0 it happened on....I dont think it has anything to do with the flashing or which rom it is some application i have put on from the play store thats causing it..Im a noobie here so please bear with me..Last time this happened I flashed a stock l900 rom and did the reset thing you are talking about but it wouldnt go through..can you be more specific about the rom and what/how this baseband is installed..Ive beed using phils recovery but im familliar with the odin method..what line do you put it on the odin 3.07???
I will get on pc later and do you a full writeup with links.

Steps to hopefully fix your issues. Read through and download and copy all links to external sdcard before starting.
1. Perform a backup of everything (rom, internal sdcard)
2. Flash this twrp file from your current recovery http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0ltespr.img
3. Under reboot options choose reboot recovery
4. Now in twrp choose wipe/format and select data, system, cache, and internal scard (/data/media)
5. Go back and select the data wipe option then type yes
6. When done go to reboot menu and reboot recovery
7. Now install Billards back to stock mc2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 but do not reboot and do not wipe anything
8. Now install this to gain root (do not use twrp's root option) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1584076&d=1356201390
9. Now you can reboot. The red light will come on and phone will display weird stuff then reboot.
10. Now it will take some time to boot but you will be on stock mc2 with everything updated to latest mc2 setting.
11. Dial ##786# phone will reboot
12. Dial ##"your msl"# and change both number sets to 10 0's once done phone will reboot
13. Do Hands free activation. If that does not work dial *228 and let that run if phone does not reboot reboot it yourself.
Now if everything went according to plan you should now have full service. Since this updated everything to factory stock mc2 you will need to install a custom recovery again. Also the mc2 baseband provided with the rom has always been stable to for me. Since I am flashed to cricket I had to reflash the phone everytime this happened to me but thankfully I flash it myself so it was easy.

NO matter what Rom I put on after this happens there is no network,,wireless works fine and so does the roms. Right after I rommed the ASOP latest nightly I called to make sure it was working fine and it was..Let ggogle put all my applications on and update them and went to bed,..When I woke up there was no network...So i used recovery and used 3 or 4 of my backups but none of them solved the network problem. I opened up backups to see if there was a file missing and I cant find any...Im willing to send some $ if someone can help me. By the way this has happened 3 times before but all sprint guys do is get me another phone and Im afraid thats going to be stopping soon..I just need to find out why this is happening so it doesnt happen again..thanks

This may help I believe it sets your partitions right. This is for 4.1.2 MC2.

Do have IMEI under about phone/status? Does it display your number or anything?
Sounds like you need to Odin flash a stock firmware with tz, param and modem..With a pit file so it flashes to the correct partition..
I'm on Verizon and this happened to me..lost everything under status..I flashed what I stated above and it fixed everything. .
If that doesn't work flash your KIES image and after re root and unlock your phone:thumbup:

Did you try and flash the zip I posted? It sets your carrier partitions! It is for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2...I've used it...it works. Just saying it couldn't hurt to try.

What about flashing the mk4 rom of your choice, then flash the newest mk4 modem..? I have the file if needed. Works great!

the phone is only 2 week old with the latest kit-kat installed from them..I think I read somewhere that if you go backwards to and older rom like mk2 it screws the phone up because of the knox??? anyway yes I flashed it but honestly Ive done so many things ,so many times,,,every modem, mk2, mk4, rooted , unrooted , different recovery...I even got the note 2 toolkit updated donated version...nothing is working,perhaps the order in which i do these things may be off but when the phone is supposed to reboot it doesnt , when its supposed to show a number it doesnt..actually the more I do to it the worse it gets..It will go into recovery and odin mode, but some of the things that were sure fire arent even working...Yes as long as still have the phone i would try it can you send me a link for those files..thanks
