Hi All,
I bought a T889v note 2 , everything seems to be working fine, phone works, SMS,whatsapp all good, when I look into the about phone section, I see the IMEI number but the serial number shows all zeros, why is that?
Thanks

I think you should provide more information so someone can answer or help you.
Are you stock? Have you rooted your phone? Have you flashed anything? Have you preformed any MOD'S? Ect.
Do you still have this issue? Have you done a factory reset yet and if so do you still have all zeros after?
It is all stock, no mod, no root at all. I just noticed this after I have everything setup now, so haven't tried factory reset yet since the phone works prefectly fine right now, will try over the weekend but just thought I would ask the question in case someone else experience the same thing.

That's a dumb reason. Stuff like this rarely happens.
To the OP, you have to ODIN it, not just flash a stock ROM.

I love flashing ROMS.
It's been a very poor experience with samsung devices though.
Only reason I switched ROM was because it was shutting off when I took pictures with the DarkSide rom.
Then only my DATA worked and then no network whatsoever
I already tried swapping my SIM into another phone and my sim is fine
I even tried someone else's sim to my phone and it still doesnt read it.
Right now i am about to try going back to factory settings using this method
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16727-howto-restore-stock-rom-recover-bad-flashes/
so it sounds like it is a common problem . however now it reads the sim but i get the error "your sim does not allow connection to this network." keep in mind it was working earlier today. any other suggestions before i pull this turd on ebay?
Just saying that I had no data Connection switching to Tuesday. Ended up wipeing cache,dalvik,and fixing permissions once more solved the issue.

Sounds like u need to reflash your radio and flash your rom again...
But b4 that, do a factory reset
Your phone is STOCK now. The ROM, KERNEL, MODEM and BOOT LOADER are all replaced with this method and ROOT access is removed. Your personal data and apps are still on the phone though. You will probably want to clean this up before returning the phone.
The ODIN restore i did says i should be completely back to stock. still not working.
such a damn shame, i kinda liked this phone. im porbably out $80 on this garbage.
1. did you wipe all your ****? and fix permissions?
2. is this a CL or ebay phone?
I just flashed hellfire cm10 ROM two days ago its been running great, so much faster. Small problem I'm having is that it can take a few minutes to pick up the connection. Eventually will turn to 4g. I have a really good connection where I live and on stock jellybean or ICS rom. Picks up the connection instantly. I have latest cwm and I cleared everything necessary. And fixed permissions after flashing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have flashed all the at&t modems, makes no difference, although I wasnt sure that it would.
There's something I'm forgetting to add I'm sure. Its only an annoyance really but if I ever want to check my stuff online really quickly I can't', because it takes so long to connect. At work it becomes impossible to go online.

Check your imei in settings under status. By chance does it show 0 or unknown? Or something else? If it is correct then just ignore this post. If it's not, then you likely have a major problem on your hands. All is not lost though

nope imei number is still intact.
Rooted my i317 2 days ago with the "no triangle counter" method. All was good, got TWRP installed, nandroided stock and did my thing. Been rooting phones for many years and have yet to brick anything *knocks on virtual wood*. Installed paranoid android, and all was awesome. Decided to give another rom a try... Cant remember which, but im not thinking thats the issue.
Wiped, flashed, no errors, rom booted normally, but as i unlock the device i get three force close errors. Then reboot. Over and over. Restored three different backups and all three do the same thing. Never run into this one before. Admittedly i am worried. Not a rich man and bought this phone outright...
I am hoping flashing in odin the original root tar file will correct the issue. But honestly wanted to do some reading and post this first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try flashing a touch wiz kernel before going back to a nandroid? If not try that and if so try a factory reset and then a good old reboot!
I assume you tried a cm10.1 rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Same thing happened to me and I did just use odin to push that tar file through, rerooted, and flashed in my rom. That to me seems to be the fix for the bootloop imo. But someone with more knowledge could correct me if im wrong. Probably didnt help you any but just thought I would share my experience and fix when I was in the same position.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium
Both of you are good people. Alleviated is a drastic understatement. Was afraid it was a bad internal storage (bad hard drive) and was an issue limitec to my device. Others have done it, it can be fixed.
Cheers, gonna odin reflash now. If not will figure it out.

Help full group over here, Appreciated greatly. Ive messed up a couple devices pretty good in my day, but never beyond repair. Always credited to people round these forums.
The factory reset didnt seem to help. But if system apps are missing... Reflashed the original tar file, and am just sitting here with a lump in my throat watching the Samsung logo hang...
Anyone got a link for the original rogers firmware?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using Tapatalk 2
*edit* back to stock. Dont wanna speak too soon, kinda superstitious with phones. But i think im good. Took two trys to flash original firmware.
Thanks guys, **** not so bad when ya got communication in a forum.
Cheers

What I did when it was stuck at the Samsung logo was I took out the battery> held down volume up, center home, and power to go into the system and did a factory wipe> then it pulled through nack to stock. Give it a try and keep me posted.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium
I tried the factory wipe through the cwm recovery included, didnt work. Was still stuck on samsung logo. Reflashed with odin a second time which allowed a successful boot and recovery of my paranoid android backup. Im good to go... Gonna do some more reading though. Im missing something important with this phone. Moving from 4.1 to 4.2 roms or vice versa seems to be... Weird.
Anyways all good. Thanks.

Hey all, I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's going on with my phone/service. First off I hope this is the correct forum since none of them officially address the US Cellular version of the S3.
So what is happening is that my device seems to only want to connect to 3G. I am running the latest nightly for CM 10.1. It all started last week while I was in the twin cities on data roaming for a few days. On my drive back to Wisconsin I notice I would go in and out of 4G service.. by the time I hit home I was on solid 3G service. This was last Friday. I knew there was some work going on the towers in the area as my brothers 4G service started working on Sprint. I just assumed it was something to do with that.
By Sunday and still on 3G, I called tech and they did everything under the sun to try to get me back on 4G to no avail. They ended up sending me a new phone. When the new phone arrived on Tuesday I did a factory reset on the old phone just to clear everything before sending it to them and I noticed it went back on to 4G. This was on the stock ROM, rooted still.
So I switched the phone over to the new one and sure as hell, comes up in 4G. I replaced the recovery and restored a backup I had.. phone pops up.. 3G. :crying:
I did a factory reset a few times and nothing.. still would only come up in 3G mode. I then restored a backup I had for the stock ROM and what do you know.. 4G. Flashed a fresh download of the stable 4 snapshot.. 3G.. then I did a factory reset and what do you know .. 4G.. reboot the phone.. back on 3G.. Tried AOKP.. 3G..factory reset.. 3G.. Back to CM 10.1 nightly.. 3G.. factory reset.. 4G.. reboot.. 3G.
I cannot figure out what the hell is going on.. it clearly isn't hardware as it's now happened on two phones. I thought it might have had to do with being on data roaming for a few days so I waited until the data billing cycle finished (the 6th) but no luck.
I'm at wits end.. I will try anything at this point to get it working again with CM/AOKP.. doesn't matter.. just want my 4G back!
Your phone does not have 4G, It has HPSA.
On AOSP/AOKP, your connection will show up as 3G until it's being used. Let's see some speedtests.
Don't go by what it says in the ststus bar. What does it say inder Settings > About Device > Mobile Network type?
Now go start a large download, like a rom or something. While its downloading check again and post what you see.

Speeds
Thanks for the quick responses guys..
First thing was my status bar was showing 4G for about a year.. it was just recently I started having the issue. I used to get about 20Mb/sec down and now I'm getting about 800Kb-1.5Mb. It's clearly much slower than it was.
And the network type is CDMA - EvDo rev A:6
Try going under Settings, More Settings, Mobile Networks, and try a different network mode.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Its selected as LTE/CDMA/EvDo. The only other option is CDMA/EvDO. I think it's set correctly.
What about Network Operators? Have you tried checking or trying a different one?
Sorry, I just don't know much about the usc model.
What is the model# btw.

Not sure what you mean by network operators but the CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM (which it should be) and the System Select is on Automatic and not Home Only.
Model is SCH-R530U
Under mobile networks you can manually search for and then select an operator.
Judging by your model number, you will likely find more and better help and probably others with your phone in the Verizon forum. (Possibly Sprints, but most likely Verizon)

Thanks. I think I found the answer.. some code in CM 10.1 was causing the NV to lose it's information. A code change was put in to prevent that from happening.. I just need to go back to stock and flash back to CM.
Thanks for the help guys!

Everything I've read involves going back to stock, factory reset, and reflashing. Is there any way to resolve this without reverting to stock? Or is that the only way? - Does it need to be unrooted? And also, one thing I was curious about, I have a stock backup, would flashing that, and then reflashing to a current CM backup do anything, or does it need to be a clean flash?
I would go totally back to stock and start over. It wouldn't even take more than an hour to do everything.

Yup, if you're having problems, taking shortcuts often result in more problems and more time involved than just starting over clean.

I was having the same exact issue on CM10.1 RC5 -- called US Cellular and eliminated everything but CM causing the issue. Flashing back to an earlier version of CM, trying RC2 first.
Do you have the SCH-R530U? If so, see my quoted post below.

Verizon has their own separate forum and you can get to it from the main forum page. Go into q&a and use the search this forum searchbox.
I'll try to get the link in a bit. Bout to leave for a while though.

Went the revert to stock and reflash route. Issue is resolved. I did have to do it twice, as after the first reboot with RC5, I lost 4G again, skipped it and am running the 6-19 Nightly and have had no further issues! Thanks for your help. You guys are awesome!

Sorry i cant do more right now.
I searched and didn't find anything. So my problem is I have a stock i317. I randomly lose service. Sometimes it's just data, I'll have 3 or 4 bars but no data. Other times it is everything just the no service symbol. I usually turn airplane mode on and off and everything comes back. Any idea what the problem could be ? I just updated ota to ucamh3. Hoping that would solve the problem but there is no change.

Some devices had internal antenna issues that required a repair /replacement ....
If a stock rom is used and the device has been factory wiped ...but you still get antenna issues ...
The device may have a problem ..
It's not uncommon ...
And if the device is truly stock and no tampering has occurred ...then the odds of a hardware issue certainly go up...g

I found what works with my phone is a quick smack to the thing. On the side or the back Im not sure I hit it a few times. Then it goes from not being able to find a network to having full signal strength. Im not hitting it hard enough to hurt it. I hope this continues to work for me.
(Update)
Upon further testing smacking it does not seem to make a difference. We are on Straight talks BYOP sim plan using AT&T towers. My wifes skyrocket does it sometimes and has Cyanogenmod Rom. And my note2 I just got and immediately flashed with Pac Man Rom does it a lot. Cyanogenmod Rom has some of Pac Man rom built in it hmm. My skyrocket never does it and it is still stock 2.3.6. Im thinking of doing a nandroid backup of my hard work setting up my Note2 and then flashing back to stock to see if it still does it. Or try to see if it only does it on a low charge. Or only wail plugged it. Or flashing a different radio, or different modem or baseband how ever you are supposed to say it.
Right now my Note2 is on baseband I317UCAMCE.

Iam having a very similar issue with my Note 2(sgh-1317).
If you could please walk me through this. Permissive and Enforced are both greyed out using WanamSELinuxModeChanger. It is rooted(CF-AUTO-ROOT), os IS 4.3, IMEI under battery matches IMEI as listed under [SettingsAbout Device/Status] as well as that listed using Android System Info from play store. Radio is "UNKNOWN", KNOX status empty
This is the 4th phone, all note 2s, that I've had "No Mobile Network" issues with since I originally got this device last Christmas(2012).
the 1st 3 were replaced under warranty by AT&T. But now I'm on Straighttalk and rooted and the issue remains.There is an iPhone 4S in the house, also on Straighttalk, that has no network connection issues at all. I have verified APNs etc etc and am at a total loss.
Any help is much MUCH appreciated.
thanks
