[Q] Made a bad flash worse... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II E4GT that i had someone "professionally" flash to MetroPCS . He cloned a donor phone but I had difficulty activating the phone with Metro on site . I returned to him after the account was activated but he never completed the flash. I set out to finish it myself... had phone (1x), sms & gps all functioning on FI27 ROOTED NoData rom and then went for 3G... I now have nothing functioning but wifi after following a procedure on another site to change APN's... I do have a backup .qcn and of my efs folder along with anEFSProBackup file but no diagnostic modem or access to DATA settings. No MEID, etc...
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Look up Chris41g's steps to flash over to Boost. This will give you the steps to get you in the right direction. (Sorry but XDA doesn't allow much more to be discussed on the threads about this.)

[Q] I flashed bad NV files through QXDM!! HELP

I screwed up the process of making my Epic run on Boost and now, after flashing the wrong NV files with QXDM and QPST my phone will barely work. The modem wont work, the phones HARDWARE display under setting that shows your phones info said UNKNOWN as well as the BASEBAND, but now it wont even let me go to the STATUS section. The only thing that works is wifi but the MARKET and INTERNET for close when i try and use them so wifi doesnt even matter.. So what I am hoping to hear from someone is that there is a way to flash those important NV files that make your phone THAT particular phone. Some of the NV files that were flashed to it were from an optimus so thats why nothing really works now.. ANYONE PLEASE HELP! Thanks

restoring efs with nvtools/qpst

hi guys, i flashed the lte modem on my phone and it seems that its wiped out my efs folders, ive been trying to restore my efs folder with nvtools and qpst, neither seems to work since somehow dm mode is not responding to them
any solns? ty in advance for any help
a couple of things:
ive already odin'd back to stock, no luck on restoring efs(perhaps im doing something wrong?) i dialed *#7284# and put it into the RNDIS+DM+MODEM mode, nvtools says phone failed to answer while QPST says that comm7(the samsung serial port) is not a phone
its pretty had to do this since the phone is rebooting itself every other minute
Questions and help issues go in Q&A
Thread moved
Thanks

Been there, sucks. For me to get out of the constant restarts I had to flash the lte modem again. Flash stock (odin) flashed cwm (odin), put the modem on my external sd card and flashed that.At least that way I could work on it a little. And below is basically what I did to finally get it to work. Hard to say all my steps as I was trying everything.
Well I dont really know how I got mine back to life, tried all the standard stuff from the threads,got my imei back but had no network,network type,service nothing helped. last resort I said whatever ill try anything now. Came across this
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
whatever it did it restored everything (cold see carrier,network,etc)but corrupted imei, next i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
If you need this is a complete no imei nv backup I used before flashing my imei with the generator
http://db.tt/4hunZ7qy
used the imei generator, then the writer (link on post does not work for the imei generator,so found it here
http://d-h.st/vVV
Wrote my imei back and presto, back in action. Fully functional again, including 4G
Like I said this was a last resort, but worked

got it fixed on friday, was so tired that i went to sleep
basically i followed someone's post on the forum(forgot name) and flashed the tmo modem, since the mct one always gave me the bootloop, then i enabled DM mode and finally got nv tools/qpst to recognize my phone, it appears that the issue was that the drivers does not recognize the new modems..
anyway, once i was done restoring nv, i flashed the tmo lte modem and paranoid android
now i have my imei back and i can use lte
although my bluetooth address still says unknown..not sure if normal
My bluetooth also says unavailable, I would think if you are not hooked up to bluetooth then it should say unavailable. Im to scared to flash the tmo lte modem again...

[Q] Can't Get 4G Working on Any ROM/Radio except stock EC05

Hey everyone,
So I've been flashing ROMs on my Epic for about 2 years now, and I'm very VERY used to troubleshooting issues and solving them by either browsing the forums or doing it myself. However, I CANNOT get 4G to work on this phone except for stock EC05. I am currently running 4.3 with the latest gapps on the new Carbon Unofficial epicmtd ROM, with deodexed FC09 radio. I get **** service and can't connect to 4G. This happens consistently with all the ROM's I've used as well as the radios for anything past CM7. Does anyone know what I can do to remedy this situation? I would really like to not have to flash it over to another carrier due to sprint being horrible service providers.
tl;dr how do I get 4G working on FC09

I offer this suggestion with much caution....
Ever consider using EFS Clear within Odin? You'll have to setup your phone again, but it could help.
WARNING: This will completely delete your phone identification and you won't be able to reconnect to Sprint's network until you set it up manually again. Write down all your pertinent information, such as MEID #, phone number, etc..
From stock FC09, I recall having to do the following to enter the information:
Enter in the dialpad: ##785468#
Press Edit
Touch the number area to input your phone number.
Input your phone like: 5551112222 (Where you have area code and then phone with no dashes, spaces or parenthesis)
Hit return
Input your phone number like before in the next field
Hit return
Hit done
Manually update your profile in Settings > About Phone > Status
You can always just call up customer care and ask them the steps on how to reconnect your phone to the network. I just said a little cousin starting hitting buttons and when I grabbed the phone it refused to allow calls, text and data.

Nevermind, I understand now. How much success have you had with this process? And do I just need the phone's status splash screen information or am I manually entering EVERYTHING?

[Q] N7105T SPC changed after flashing ATT QCN

Hi all,
I have a N7105T and for some stupid reason I flashed this onto it (using QPST restore) - http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
This has somehow changed my phone's SPC/MSL number and I have no idea how to get it. I have read for hours on the net and tried all the conventional methods used, but they are all for Sprint/ATT phones and nothing works on my N7105T.
So I'm pretty much stuck now. Can't restore any other QCN backups or anything till I enter the right SPC in QPST.
A bit of back story - My GPS somehow stopped working with I flashed CM12.1 and to get it back, I flashed a NV Data file (QCN file) provided by a fellow XDAer. The GPS started working but my 4G stopped working. So in order to get my 4G back, the same person suggested I flash the ATT QCN file, which I did, and it somehow changed my SPC code and now I can't access the NV memory.
I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me out with this.
Thanks in advance
