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.

I'm pretty new to all this, I had a Rogers Captivate that had been crashing on me. Everything suggests that if I changed my software it would work.
So I managed to to flash a newer AT&T ROM on to the phone via Odin. (I was pretty chuffed with myself)
However, as soon as I put my sim into it, it became locked. I paid an online service to get an unlock code, but the IMEI number I delivered to them didn't match the network, so I messed that up.
Now I've noticed that I could flash a rooted ROM via Odin, which should save me having to unlock, right ?
I went to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621350 and looked for a suitable ROM (preferably supported).
I went for the PAC ROM, but noticed there is no tar file in the download.
The other ones I wanted to try either suggested it was flashed by another method than Odin (I might be wrong) or the download links for the files themselves were no longer working.
Also, there is talk about Gapps. What is this and what is the process for installing it ?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Hi there,
You'll need to specify that the phone is still on the Rogers network, as that's how they access the database. Ie., if you have a phone that was supplied to Rogers, the IMEI will be associated with Rogers and if you tell them it's ATT, they won't be able to find it - regardless of what ROM you're running.
Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware you do have to pay to unlock the ROM again but I'm not an expert on this - I know that I had the same problem you did and they told me to put it in as Rogers instead - that got me my unlock code.
I have a rooted Milestone 2 which is running JB now, and it is still operator locked unfortunately.
Apparently the GalaxSim Unlock tool is good but I don't know if it retains your IMEI - I know it does back up your EFS though. Maybe it's worth a try?
Before doing anything with your IMEI i suggest you to backup your efs folder. There's a software for this too.

thank you
Thanks for the feedback, I've reapplied for my unlock code.
What I'd really like to know now is which rooted ROM should I choose to flash via Odin ?

Hi hkcharlie,
Have a look at the below thread to unlock your sim card. I used it on mine and my friend's S3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451
I suggest reading the "everything about captivate glide" thread here:

You have to flash this acording to ODIN. Afterwards, you can download .zip files directly to your device for flashing, or download them on your computer and copy them to the devices SD card. Select them in recovery mode and they will install.
These two roms I've had a lot of success with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945558
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021374
They're both ICS. There is a cm10.1 JB (4.2.2) build as well, and it's *awesome* - but it is missing a few critical features so I won't recommend it for your first time.
Almost any ROM you flash from this forum will already be rooted. Being 'rooted' just means having a kernel that supports it (both ICS rom's above include a root-capable kernel) and a /bin/su and appropriate superuser apk.
Of course, back up your EFS - there are some apps on the market that will help you do this. And backup everything. And test your backup. And your warranty is void, your phone may explode, or impregnate you with mogwai. (do not get wet, do not feed after midnight.)
Happy flashing!
Hello community, I have looked for the stock Samsung s3 I747 AT&T firmware. I have found it but its a download from Hotfile, which has been shut down. I was wondering if the android forums could provide me with the Stock firmware? I plan on using Odin3 in installing the firmware. This is why I am wanting to do this, it appears I am stuck on edge network. I have manually set the phone to use 4g and 3g it still reverts back to edge. This occurred after I updated to 4.3, so my plan is to install stock firmware and re-do the 4.3 update maybe something went wrong somewhere during the update. If you have other suggestions other than trying to install the initial stock firmware, I am open to anything.

You'll have to have a look in development. Since you already took the 4.3 update, you can no longer "start with stock and redo the update". You will hard brick. AT&T was not nice enough to provide an ODIN flashable 4.3 rom. In development or general is a custom recovery flashable ROM that should help you out, but that is assuming you have a rooted and custom recovery phone. If not, there should be someone along to help.

Re-installing the stock update probably wouldn't help me anyhow. This phone has had a IMEI repair, assuming this is the problem now.
The phone, after a re-boot will do 4g, well at least it shows the 4g emblem, then shortly after it will go to edge. Some people I talked to said it could be a weak antenna or some other hardware issue. I think it has to do with the IMEI repair! Well I guess this phone is garbage, its a shame, it looks brand new, my fault for going the craigslist route
When you say IMEI repair, you mean the IMEI was injected into the phone using NV writer?

Yes. I did not do this myself.
However, I did find another program well actually two programs, QCN Generator and DanX which I created a back up and injected the IMEI number into my back up QCN bin myself. With no luck I am still a 2g AT&T user.
I am thinking that the original QCN back up (the initial) was corrupted or something.
Is there anyway to rebuild a QCN? lets say, someone has a back up of a Sammy g3, and I injected my IMEI to a spare QCN. Does that make any sense? sorry still learning, I have learned this with in 24hrs, I am a Xbox 360 Rooter, not an android guru.
I bought the phone from craigslist, which was a bad idea in the first place. So I am now stuck with this paper weight, I have managed to get this phone in at least a working state. I wish to get 3 or 4g back on the phone. I can re-boot it will show 4g with 3 bars then will drop to one and go back up to 3 bars, then drop to 2,1 then it will then automatically switch to edge. I know this is a 4g area, maybe not LTE, but 4g. I have changed APN settings, also manually set the phone to GSM and WCMDA, Still working on it.
firstly i apologise for my basic knowledge of this sort of thing, help would be greatly appreciated.
my unlocked at&t galaxy i747 recently was repaired via jtag after an over the air update bricked it.
i got it back and after an hour my sim wouldnt connect to the network anymore and i noticed the camera didnt work.
the guy who fixed it told me to wipe the devlik cache and factory reset which i did but i still had the camera and network issue.
i was hoping to flash back to stock rom so i cleared the current rom with the philz recovery and tried to install a stock on odin but it failed.
my main issue is that is if i have to send it back id like to with a rom on it. so if someone could provide me with a rom that will work id be most thankful. if i recall he installed a custom rom that said it was on the 4.1.1.1 version of android. the baseband wasnt ucdlk3 like my stock roms on the pc i tried to flash were. it had numbers like ...m j b ?
after i do that im hoping the guy will tell me how i can fix the camera and network issues. id rather have all stock rom and such but i dont want to interfere with that hes done.:crying:
i have a 16gb storage card so i can install the rom via zip if necessary. thanks for reading this, alex.
also i dont know if this is important but then i click turn off in recovery it says root missing.do you want to root? i just always click no.
Well if your on mjb then you can't flash to 4.1.1 or anything below 4.3 as the efuse has been triped and won't allow any other boot loader to run resulting in a brick.....so if you can flash 4.3 firmware to your phone and see if you can get it to boot.....if you can't then you may need to unbrick it with either the sdcard method or a JTAG again

Hi, I have just flashed Rooted Note 2 on 4.3 to the latest stock ROM which I downloaded from the SamMobile and now it will not register on the network.
The new version I flashed was the same as the old as i found it with the CSC N7100BTUEMK2 on sam mobile.
I checked the IMEI and it says 00499010640000 in status menu which is different from the one under the battery.
I did not perform a backup of anything as I was not worried about losing any data.
Any ideas what has happened to it and how to get the IMEI correct again?
I understand this is something to do with an efs file but in what way it has become faulty from flashing the same rom I cannot decipher
Any help much appreciated! :good:

From my experience:
1) Reflash the ROM.
2) Flash a custom ROM.
Both worked for me.
N7105 rocking AOSB with AGNi kernel,
Click "Thanks" if I was of any help!
Thanks, I have reflashed the current 4.3 rom UEMK9 and a slightly older UEMK4 with a DEMJ9 radio.
I have tried lots of radios - DM3, XXDME4, XXMI6, XXMJ5, XXMJ2, and some other modem.bin
From what I understand its when you go from newer to older roms that you get IMEI problems, so its prob useless to try pre 4.3
Its all a bit confusing to me and which rom has which radio seems like an arcane mystery.
It is quite possible that I flashed a same version 4.3 rom but my old radio was different and not knowing it was such a minefield on Galaxy phones I never checked that or bothered with a back up.
I may have to resort to paying the people at unlocksamsung online £26 to reset my IMEI
Can anyone tell me, is it just the radio that causes the IMEI problem and should I just trawl through flashing radio zips until my IMEI comes back so I can save the efs file?
BTY everything else seems ok SN is correct and wifi works fine, I just can't get on a network without my correct IMEI
Thx
i also have the same issue on my note 2 gt-n7100 and now phone does no respond to the touch post rooting and all..i am tired of rooting and unrooting the phone like 100 times allready and now my phone is stuck in loop
Hey guys,
I am a new soul here after about a month of searching through this forum and google etc... I really need some help.
After I bought my GT-N7100 Samsung Galaxy Note II as a used phone, I flashed it through the official SmartSwitch (the new version of Kies) so I could get a fresh phone with stock firmware.
After that I used Galaxy_S Unlock app for a network unlock. At this point I think that the app didn't generate a backup of the efs folder (it told me it did, but then i found that my sd card was corrupted and had to throw it away - just my luck), and left me stuck with an invalid IMEI (the generic one 0049).
So I tried flashing the stock rom through Kies and SmartSwitch and flashing stock roms from sammobile, even tried downloading custom kernels, modems from xda, but nothing worked.
After all this, I have a full signal, unlocked phone (not asking about sim unlock or anything), but not registered on network. I think it is strange that it is showing me a full signal without a SIM car in the phone.
If anyone could help me out, that would be great.
Thank you in advance,
alexns89
P.S. I'm a newbie about the terms so please, be patient if I don't understand you.
