Hi,
I just created this thread to see how many are facing issues with flashing modems and how they caused it. Basically this is to pin point root cause and also to help people stuck with bootloops or lost imei
You need to provide
1) Model number like T889v or T889
2) ROM /kernel used
3) Type of recovery used TWRP /Clockwork with version if possible
4) Which modem you flashed....if phone is 889v , did you flash 889v modem
5) Did you lose IMEI , if Yes then how did you fix it ? Did your backup worked ?
You guys are free to add more questions.
This is a good post, it will help those out who are looking to flash but are reluctant; in that they know not of the potential problems. Also you should include those who have no problems with their device, and what set-up they're using and how they went about to achieve that set up.
Have SGH-889v - Lost IMEI with SGH-889v Modem
No solution yet. Have everything working on the phone except the modem. No way out that I can find.

how to fix T889v with missing IMEI
I accidentally flashed omnirom t0ltetmo and it overwrote my windmobile T889v modem...
restoring the modem from nandroid backup did not work
i had no imei, no service
TO FIX:
simply flash the t0lte image of omnirom.
that's it.... seems to good to be true... but it works!

Look in the N7105 forum here in XDA. There is a unified build that covers N7105 variants including the T889.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I have a Note 2 SGH-T889V from Wind.
I've been playing around with a few roms and have been using LiquidSmooth for a while which is pretty good, but I would like to try out CyanogenMod.
Has anyone installed CM on a T889V before? Will it be safe to wipe everything, flash the t0ltetmo nightly from here, and then flash the stock T889V modem from here?
EDIT: Also, I would like to update my CWM from 6.0.1.4 to 6.0.3.0; Do I get the T-Mobile (recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.0-t0ltetmo.img) one or the HSPA+ one? I don't want to use ROM Manager to update it because it says my device is GT-N7105, which it isn't.
You shouldn't have to flash your modem going between ROMs. Searching for T889V and bootloop will in fact tell you it's not that good an idea.
The GT-N7105 is the international LTE Note II. The CWM for it will also work for the other LTE Note II variants, including the T889V. The one thing that does come to mind is that its build.prop will report an N7105 to scripts that check for device prior to flashing. Not usually that big of a deal.

I used this root method: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method/
Then, to flash ROMs, I wipe everything, flash the T-Mobile ROM, then the Canadian modem. I have flashed this way around 5 or 6 times without any problems..

Be careful not to flash a T-Mobile radio. I lost my IMEI and had to follow a bunch of complex steps to get it back. I can't put a Wind modem on my phone anymore though.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to unlock my AT&T 4.1.2 Note II, and from this thread, it says that unlocking is dependent on the version of baseband, and a UVALK8 baseband phone could be unlocked even if it's on 4.1.2.
Therefore, I'd like to know if there is a guide on how to restore baseband? My current baseband is UCAMC3, 4.1.2, non-rooted.
Much help appreciated!
You would need to push the radio image via Odin. ..
And the image must be signed properly or you will show a modified status and your flash counter will increase. ..(might anyway)
I'm not sure about the radio image your referring to. ..as it's not an ATT image obviously. ..
That being said. ..If you push that image. ..You will lose connection with ATT until you flash back to a proper image. .
And you need a network connection to perform the unlock I believe. ..
Otherwise. ..your going to get stuck. ..
We have 2 or 3 unlocking threads in the general section I think. ..and you should look at those in detail before proceeding. ..imho....g

Ok. You need to root it first to make it easier for you. That k8 your referring to nit sure what that's for. But you having mc3 then you have the latest AT&T modem.
The modem you need is here:
http://db.tt/YLhvhftM
This^^^^^ first modem release
https://copy.com/mdaZG
This^^^^^^ newest AT&T modem
And if you read that no need to downgrade the Rom to a 4.1.1 That's correct, all you needed to do is downgrade your modem/radio unlock the phone via*#197328640*# the flash back the newest modem and your done!!
If your UN SURE about ANY of this then you don't need to be performing none of these steps. Because like what he^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ said might want to read a lil More on this before you jump in two feet first. Because I've read some stories of, dead phone's. From trying to unlock them via the hidden MENU!! Fyi

So i can actually brick my phone trying to unlock?
Btw, is this the steps for restoring baseband:
1-root your phone if its not rooted
2-find a 4.1.1 modem suitable for your device (easy to find)
3-flash it via cwm
4-follow the rest of the unlocking guide
5*optional*-reflash a newer modem or an custom rom

Yes all of that is correct bruh..:thumbup::thumbup:
I've provided the modem you'll need in order for all the menus to show up!!
Then I also have you the newest modem to replace the old, back to the new one. MC3.
Hello,
So bought my note 2 from amazon, international version, sim free.
So i rooted it and fired a custom firmware on it.
Decided i prefer having the functionality of the s pen and wanted to reinstall the original f/w.
So managed to get an original samsung firmware (BTU) csc.
All is well on it apart from my sim card does not work in it (no service).
works fine in my old phone still.
It doesn't allow me to update it over the air and kies is a nightmare.
So im stuck with a tablet at the moment that I cant update.
I think I may not have the correct original firmware but I dont know how to determine which one will work!
Any input would be appreciated....
Thanks
Dan
You seem to have stumbled upon the problem introduced by Samsung in their newest kernels (they are used in newer ROMs).
The kernels cause IMEI number to not be recognised after flashing old firmware once the new one was installed. The only recourse is to root again and flash back one of the newer roms (Phoenix, Omega or Android Revolution will do nicely) or try to find original Samsung firmware for your region, but it has to be one of DM6, DF1 or DG1 at the end of the name and flash it using Odin.
Look here and remember to match your phone model number as well as firmware region.

Efs partition is where your phones unique identifiers like imei are stored. If it gets damaged or wiped and you have no backup then your phone is a brick, pure and simple.

Try and Flash an official dme6 or dmf firmware as per above poster. If imei is still blank then your phone is a brick.
I don't know why there are so many how to root blogs on the Internet and none of them tell you how to back up efs or why it's critical. It's a complete tragedy.
I've had to restore imei once to save my gs3. Was very lucky I'd flashed an omega rom earlier and the aroma installer asked me if I'd like to do a backup and told me it's important. I heeded the developers advice and backed up said files to drop box. Now I always do it immediately after rooting - all custom recoveries give an option to back up efs.
I hope it's not too late, it's sad for people to have to learn the hard way, best of luck.

Ive just read that if you flash the latest modem you should be alright. The post to guide you on this is by Dr Ketan in the original android development section.
I dont think your phone is bricked I think if you flash the very latest modem you should be alright. Just remember when flashing anything to your phone you should always make a nandroid back up first and copy it to your pc just in case for safe keeping plus a copy of efs folder. I hope for your sake you can sort this. And remember to read thoroughly all instructions before anything else. Look here and click the read this first it should help you..

I'd suggest you backup your efs before trying anything else.
Does your baseband version display now?
If you've already had your baseband updated to the new versions then you can't use it with Perseus kernel. The new modems are interdependent to the new kernels and Perseus hasn't been updated in awhile.
If baseband is newer one then you need an up to date kernel and flashing a newer firmware will obviously address this.

You have nothing to lose at the moment your phone is a semi brick. I think by reading Dr Ketans guide you will be able to get that phone working again. I take no responsibility from the following link but I think you need to give it a go. If you havent backwd up your efs folder than this link may help you. Id say download this latest modem and recovery and again I take no responsibility for your device.

Guys here is my problem. I tried to upgrade my Samsung N7105 to 4.3 via OTA and it got stucked on bootloop.
I tried to access recovery mode but it fails, only download mode.
What i did is I downloaded the official 4.3 firmware at SamMobile and flashed it with Odin 3.09
Based on Odin it is successful but im still stuck on bootloop and recovery mode cannot still be accessed.
Tried to root it also and installed CWM to recover. I was able to to access CWM
so i restored factory setting, wipe cache and dalvik cache but still the phone bootloops.
Any suggestions on how to resolve my problem?

Was able to access custom recovery upon flashing. conducted wipe data / factory reset and wipe dalvik cache but still bootlooping was experienced. Is my phone dead already and needs replacement?
After flashing the philz, try flashing a custom ROM and see if u will unstuck from the bootloop, try cm 10.2, it's very light and mostly bug free

Now working cm10.2 but now my next problem is there is no signal. it appeared that imei value is null. how do i repair this? thanks!
By the way after successfully running on cm10.2 I tried to reflash again with stock firmware. bootloop again. i think i will be stuckon using custom roms for now. The only thing I need to address is the no mobile signal problem.
OK so the bootloop problem is done and don't worry there are a lot of amazing custom roms that are based on the stock one and even better features like the note 3 features, as for the imei, please tell me you did an nfs backup if you do, there are a lot of ways you can restore your nfs backup, if you don't have an nfs backup, I don't know what to do.

Sorry was on vacation for a long time. I wasn't able to update this thread.
Problem right now is I forgot to back the EFS so when I flashed CM 10.2
There is no baseband and IMEI is null. Tried to flash n7105 modem but still it still doesn't work
Have read that I should flash stock firmware to fix baseband and IMEI but 4.3 firmwares makes my phone go on bootloop.
Should I wait for 4.4 update? I want my phone to make it usable again.
My phone right now is useless and works like an itouch hahaha
Any suggestions???
Need expert advise

You may try Hurricane modem changer and experiment with various modem versions. It's a longshot but it may help. Try finding very old modem version and flash that.
Hurricane Modem Changer is that an application?
Where to get it? Also, will it there be a possibility that when I flash Official 4.4 kitkat (when released) on my n7105.
Bandwidth and IMEI will be restored? I'm leaning towards to come back to touch wiz though many of you guys might say that a custom rom might be better.
For one thing, the problem in my n7105 started when i upgraded to 4.3 via OTA

Hurricane contains some older modems along with new ones and yes it will work if you used DN3.

No, it's for N7100 only - the modems are completely different (3G vs LTE).
Please read the original post carefully before flashing, if the HC was not protected you could have lost network functions completely.

Im using an n7105 model. Guess this will not work. Any other suggestions?
From what I understand, the quickest solution is to flash stock firmwares however, i'm quite disappointed that
almost all 4.3 firmwares from sam mobile doesn't work in my phone (always bootlooping)
A technician told me that I should wait for the 4.4 kitkat release, since it might work for my phone.
Now my problem is, I need to have the phone operational. so im willing to flash custom roms for the meantime
but the baseband problem is really testing my patience. hehe

It's pretty strange really as stock firmwares are a complete set of bootloader/modem/system that should in theory work perfectly well together without any incompatibility problems. Have you ever tried to install one of them without sdcard and/or simcard installed, maybe you have some leftovers from previous system (Android secure directory) that causes bootloops, also did you completely clean internal sdcard prior to flashing, it may create the same problems as external sdcard.

im not sure if i cleaned the internal sdcard prior to flashing.
It started with the OTA update that failed then I tried to flash stock firmware via odin
do i have to do a pre-requisite before flashing it again? so you are suggesting to remove the simcard and external sd card prior to flashing?
I like the touchwiz UI but i want the added enhancements of custom firmware, i know ill probably get flamed with people saying "search
for asking this, but can you guys recommend a custom touchwiz rom? preferably the most popular/up to date
DN3 if you want a 4.3 Rom
Tweaked if you want a 4.1.2 Rom

So DN3 looks great but its a N7105 rom, which apparantly is fine, except that it insists that i flash one of 3 modem options, none of which are for my phone. also i heard that for my phone (t889v), once you flash a modem for the wrong device you cant get the correct modem back again.
The T889v doesnt have a flashable modem available?

I would take the dn3 zip and take out the n7105 modem files and replace them with t889v modem files.

I tried that by replacing the modem.bin files in the rom's folders for the 3 modem versions with the wind 4.3 modem.bin, it took 2 flashes before my phone would start working but still had a no network symbol instead of signal bars. i also tried flashing the wind 4.1.1 modem through recovery after but no luck. i can see that others on the t889 have had success with this rom, so i should be able to use it on a t889v, cant figure out what the problem is.

Once the 889V gets the wrong devices modem you will have a tough time getting it out from what I have seen.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I got it working by wiping basically everything except external sd, and incidentally soft bricking my phone, then going into download mode and using odin to flash a factory rom. got signal bars back, so then i reflashed custom recovery and tried flashing dn3 with a new modem again but im not having any luck with it.

Not having luck with data? Have you set your APNs? Check the obvious stuff first.

Its not data. Its just plain network signal. Instead of seeing bars at the top right ive got a no smoking sign without the cigarette in the middle. Thats what i meant by "no network" symbol. Im pretty sure that its a modem issue. Strange taht flashing a modem over it wonrt work, and other than that the rom works perfectly, but not being able to use my phone to make calls is kind of a dealbreaker.
Most popular will be those listed on the first page of development
