[Q] If I flashed GT-N7100 ROM, how can I get back?

First, I'm an idiot,,,got new to android,,had no idea about flashing,, so I just randomly picked a Rom, and turned out its a GT-N7100 ROM, now my phone has no signal at all,,, anyone know how to flash back ? or I have to wait a att ROM come out?
BTW, Im with Rogers.
Thanks:laugh:

your gonna have to wait till either someone makes a odin back with a stock rom or makes a stock rom you can flash via recovery.
EDIT: did you make a backup?

this reminds me of the following youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0
Can you give a link to the firmware you flashed? It'd be useful to know if it contained a modem and/or kernel (or not.)
If it contained a modem, you'll need another modem. If it contained a kernel, you'll need another kernel. We have those. Regardless, you'll need to talk someone into getting you a system image (someone that has the same phone as you and has already rooted.)
Also, do you have CWM recovery installed? Is the existing firmware (as trashed as it might be) rooted? Can you use adb?

im an idiot

I just opened the file you linked to.. it includes a modem, kernel, etc.
I know you won't be happy with this, but until an ODIN image shows up, you're kind of out of luck. If someone you know has the same phone, you could ask them to do a backup to an external memory card, and then you restore that backup to your device. Assuming the modem wasn't flashed when you installed, that would get you back into business. If a modem was flashed, you'll need to get someone to extract a modem (and I'm not sure how to go about doing that.)

Please answer ALL of these questions. I can't help you if you don't answer them all...
Does your phone work now, with the exception of connecting to the mobile network?
Are you familiar with adb? If so, are you able to get a shell via adb?
When you plug your phone into your computer, are you able to copy files to/from the phone?
Which custom recovery do you have installed? CWM recovery or TWRP?
Is your phone rooted? (it probably is with a custom firmware - assuming the phone works at all.)

sorry buddy,,,
right now, the phone has no signal, asking for a sim card, which Ive already inserted it.
noepe, I donno what adb is, I tried google it, but I think its too complicate for me.
I'm able to copy files into or from my phone( SD card)
i rooted my phone through this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
donno if i successed,,, but it has a superSU on my screen after I done it,(guess it count as rooted?) and I may used the TWRP
thank you for your help....
now Im back to my old Iphone 4

I updated that post. Basically, I can't think of anything you can do right now.. until an ODIN dump is available - or if someone gets you a backup you can restore. However, a backup won't flash the proper modem (and it appears you also overwrote the modem.)

Perhaps - perhaps not. Until one actually flashes from the other, we don't know. (Many will tell you that they've done it with a different phone model - my answer to that is simply that it was a different phone model. Until its tried with THIS one, we can only guess.)
I think the biggest stumbling block for you right now is the modem. We have a stock kernel and recovery. A "near" stock system partition image can also be made from another device with a simple command. I have to be honest, though, that I have no clue how to extract the modem from these LTE phones.
A recovery (and kernel) can easily be flashed with ODIN (or with dd from a rooted shell.) Same for the system partition (which is, basically, the OS.) Getting a system image might be annoying, as you'd need to find someone with a roger's phone to make it for you, upload it, etc.
The modem, however... I'm not sure how to go about getting that for you. I've never had to create a modem image...
If/when a ODIN package appears, you can use a program that will, basically, reflash your entire phone to stock. Modem, kernel, recovery, bootloader, etc. Everything. Normally, users wouldn't see those ODIN packages, but there are a couple of websites that have access to some samsung servers where they a put. Once they are put there, we can get it...
Take care

Looking forward to this remedy as this is the reason I am jumping from att Galaxy S 3 to the note2. Want my international dev community back!
Unfortunately so far down here in Southern Florida Miami beach there is no white Note 2 anywhere.

For those that have the ATT version of the Note 2, if you've mistakenly flashed the ROM, I highly suggest visiting your nearest AT&T Device Support Center. Since I've previously worked in those centers, they have a propietary Samsung flashing tool that allows them to flash to the stock ROM, even if it's rooted. Granted they'll be able to tell if you've rooted it or not (which may or may not void the warranty, depending on who you talk to), as long as the phone can turn on and go to firmware recovery mode, the flashing works almost 100% of the time and it's a free service.
However, as I got my Note 2 yesterday, I've contacted my nearest DSC and they said that they don't have the ability to flash the Note 2 yet and they may have that ability to do so in the next few weeks or possibly by the end of the year (if you can wait that long). Being that the associates are just corporate drones, if they can't fix it, they'll more than likely replace your phone under warranty (which I don't suggest since the replacements are refurbished, and besides you should be within the 14 day return period for a new phone).
Sorry if it doesn't help the ones who have the Rogers versions.

[Q] Please Can you guys help me with SPH-D710ZWASPR

Hello, everyone. First I want to say a big thank you to all XDA Developers and forum mod's for all hard work they do for us users.
I have purchased trough craiglist cell phone and I have tried to delete all things that previous owner had on the phone since he did not delete his files and the rest of his stuff. I did flash phone with some stock rom's and some rooted rom's. I have Baseband Version, H/W unknown and also IMEI MEID is unknown. Before I decided posting here, I have read here on xda and searched everywhere to fix it but I didn't have any luck.
I have tried downloading almost all firmware and tried different modems, kernels, bootloaders, repartioning and it does not fix my phone.
I would really apreciate if anyone can help me with this. Is there any way to get from somebody that have same phone like partition or files?
Thank you very much!

You might want to try an odin one click and it'll reset all of it back to normal and will put you on the latest Jellybean leak. Here's the one to use if you want Root http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...-D710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GA10/Full Restore/Rooted and here's the one if you don't want Root http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GA10/Full Restore/Unrooted

If you flashed an international (gt-i9100) rom you're looking at jTag or replacing the phone cuz you hosed your bootloader and the partitions so the PC will never recognize it to Odin it back to stock. If the rom is rooted you *MAY* be able to use mobile odin to flash everything but the modem, but it's highly doubtful that will fix your forked up bootloader. And I've never seen an i9100 rom labeled as a d710 rom I think you just didn't read thoroughly enough.
I like to break stuff!

Thank you, MHousos. I'll give a try with SPH-D710_GA10_818252_Rooted_Restore. I have to mention that all other firmware I have tried flashing with Odin and Heimdall they both can flash phone but when they slow down when flashing modem.bin. They don't show no errors or that flashing have pass. I have been waiting for long time to see if the phone will get flashed or not but later I have to flash kernel so I can use phone with WIFI but baseband, h/w, imei is unknown.

I have tried I think almost all stocks, rooted, kernels, modems and other tools.
My phone is not dead, I can flash and use phone with WIFI.
When I try to flash any one-click firmware with odin or heimdall they stop like at end when flashing modem.bin
I have to disconnect usb cable and power off phone than put it in D/M and flash kernel but modem will not work
as h/w ime baseband is unknown.
Please can anyone help me out I would really apreciate.
In SPH-D710 .PIT it shows 13 or 14 file images?
If I had all files to flash would that help or not?
If someone could help me to get all files so I can try
I'm not asking to help me for free.

Use a Full Restore One Click, as it actually is preset to re-partition. All One Clicks are built with the pit file as the pit is used for mapping.
I would recommend using PC Odin manually to flash the three tar files separately. Kernel, modem and Rom.
I can tell you this - If you're attempts are always failing at a certain location, then it's probably time for you to follow this link, providing that you can actually flash.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865102
And maybe even the possibility of failing internal memory. Last two threads I remember that started like yours ended with a BLOD,
Good luck, I hope that isn't the case for you.

Need help to restore imei/ restore efs.

Hi guys,
My note 2 is in normally condition with stock 4.4.2 rom N7100XXUFND4.
Yesterday I wanna root it, then did with odin 3.09 + CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100 then + philz cwm6.
And I've lost imei, no efs and it doesnt recognize simcard :angel:
I got a efs.img file backup once, but since when my note2 still at 4.3 (or 4.1.2, cant remember exactly).
So, i've tried all menthols found here, as dr.ketan's aroma efs restore and his multi tools, install EFSFix.zip,... tried via PC and terminal emulator on my note2, but all no result (anyway, thank all devs.)
Im now downloading the stock rom back in order to try to flashing it to my device after unroot (but very slowly coz the international internet cable from Vietnam to outside was corrupted)
Just wanna ask you guys that does this work (flash stock rom can fix all or even when done flash my note2 still lost imei and just can use as a pda, not a pda phone)?
And if you have any flashing ideas, just let me now, I'll try.
Thank you.

@ alittlemad,
First of all let me inform u this is not the section to post . U should try the Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section.
Now to the problem at hand, if you have CWM, try flashing this Modem_N7100XXUFND3_CWM modem in cwm, I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago when I downgraded from KK. Hope this works. It worked for me. I dont remember which thread i got it from. It is for 4.3 roms but works with 4.4 as well. All the best
P.S - I am uploading 2 modems. ND3 is for 4.3 but the next one, I think is for 4.4 - not sure. Search for these modems for further details.

Very good DonVito, my phone is back with the first file ND3 :good:.
If you have chance to come here, I will buy you a beer :highfive:.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Havent been able to load new roms after having to fix soft brick

First off I NEVER have had rom issues before this, it all started with a failed encryption attempt that soft bricked my phone. instead of re posting what i wrote here is a link to the 2 pg thread in which i received help and thus this is where i am at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701706
OK now ever since then i have never been able to update to a new rom. I believe it let me do it once and i believe i am using an older version of S3Rx.
I believe it may be due to how I updated to 4.3 I would like to get 4.4 as i believe kit kat (tell me if im wrong) will probably be the last android os the S3 will support so i basically want to get the most out of it as i can and also be able to try other roms in general like i used to. Because i currently do not have a sd card I have yet to try anything drastic as i normally use my sd card for backups and rom installs because if something happens to the phone i have the sd card backup.
So in all What should I DO, I have fears of using Odin as the one time it failed on me i bricked a phone and I cant really afford to hard brick this one like i did the other. Although the only thing I can think of being a dumb leach user and non dev. Would be to use odin with the most recent root66 then go from there? Although again lol all i can think of is the above.
Thanks for reading and i hope like the last time I will recieve help to bring back the life to this device. TIA!!

HRM i guess im ok i just installed the latest S3Rx as i wanted to see what made it stop so i chose this rom (because i needed to update anyway) and it had aroma so I thought perfect ill know when it fails but it worked out ive downloaded and tried to install likewise several time at first i thought i got a bad download but ive tried again and for some reason. I have yet to try a 4.4 (i wanted to try likewise so thats why i chose it) so without trying other roms my issue has something to do with going to 4.4 from 4.3 IDK though as i have not tried other roms but no one else seams to have this issue with this rom port?
Any 4.4 rom suggestion to try to find out what the issue is?
currently installed base-band modem should have no impact on rom installation only the fact i wont get signal right?
I just cant think of any reason why i am having the issue?? any ideas anything i should check to make sure its right on my mobile? BTW thanks for coming back to help as this is possibly a stupidity problem which is hard to help how do you help stupid lol?

Try S3rx 4.4.2 or do you mean aosp/cm?.. And correct, baseband/modem won't matter on ROM installation.. I'm sure it's not stupidity, believe me we all get issues we cannot understand at times and the next time you try, problem is gone lol

i personally prefer touchwiz so no aosp or cm and the latest version of s3Rx i though is what i just installed but its only 4.3 not 4.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
installing that works but i still cant get to 4.4 im going to search for one that has aroma maybe it will work do you have any suggestions on a good touchwiz based rom on the latest version of android?
To me Likewise looked the best but trying to get that rom working is what prompted this OP.
I still have yet to try again after this recent rom update as I havent had the time and the battery level is not high enough yet to start as i will need to create a new backup and delete my old ones as i have the 12 gb model and currently no sd card.
I will post back when that has been done to show my results. In the mean time ill be searching for another possibly suitable rom like i already said something with aroma and if you have a preference ill try that first.

So yes i must be on 4.1.2 as that was the last time i flashed with odin so i believe you help3ed me with my main isssue now this is something i would like to be sure of:
Can i simply flash the following posted on the s3rx page or will i have to use odin i prefer not to as well i don't know much about it and it scares me as idk how to if possible backup in case of error as the only unfixed problem i have ever had was a while rooting a galaxy s 4g (the one that came with inception) and i walked away and the cord was unplugged and there was an error that it still has about firmware upgrade failure connect to kies and neither kies nor odin will connect to it so its currently in the same situation. So i am fearful of using odin unless it must be done.
Complete 4.3 T999, T999L and T999V bootloader and modem packages.
After flashing DO NOT try to install any older bootloaders or use any other odin.tar other then the latest 4.3 or you will brick your phone.

Would this be enough (would probably use NC2) or will i be better of using the latest root66 with odin? and if so can you give me some tips on odin usage as i would get the latest odin and the latest root66 rom and flash it hoping it works I would try to learn more also but yeah.

It's better to flash the full firmware with Odin imo, but it should be fine. And yes, use nc2

So i think the best cleanest way is to use odin although i have a few questions
First the latest version of odin should work right so 3.09 or 3.10?
Can a backup before this? is there a way to do it?
Lastly the best rom to flash is root 66 NC2 fot t999
Then i will be on a 4.3 bootloader and will be able to use 4.3+ roms?
I have the drivers the latest odin and the root66 image can you direct me on how to do it as a refresher?
I appreciate all your help!!

Please go to Android development an look at [baseband] an just go to first page should help with everything

I believe the root66 thread has instructions

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (AT&T) : SGH-I317 Stock Rom needed

Hello,
I'm trying to look for the fresh stock rom of SGH-I317 rom so I can flash my phone back to normal. I owned this phone since 2012, I had it rooted and everything else. Last night, it decided to do something funny and now it gets stuck on samsung logo/battery and I can only access download mode for the time being.
So I assume I have to factory set everything and lose data--which i don't care about anymore.
Can anyone please help? Thank you. Stock rom is what I need and Odin as well. Thanks again =)
Adam.

As far as I know there are at least 4 different STOCK versions of SGH-I317 firmware namely 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.3 and 4.4.2. 4.1.2 is the same as 4.1.1 but it has SIM unlock backdoor closed. 4.1.1 is interchangeable up to 4.3 with certain limitations, as soon as you get 4.4.2 you are stock to it.
4.3 is my personal favorite but I can't seem to find clean AT&T ROM for some time now (everything else is available).
If I were you I'd start powering up the phone while holding home and arrow up buttons, do "wipe data/factory reset" follow with "wipe cache partitions" and you should be golden

Thanks replying. Unfortunately.. I tried getting into recovery mode but it just won't let me. when I do that.. it only takes me back to the samsung logo. I really really don't know why...
Right now I only have access to the Odin Mode and it comes up as
Product Name :
Custom Binary Download : No
Current Binary Samsung Official
System Status : Custom

did you try flashing recovery again through odin...u can also try this...not sure if it works 100% in ur case...but doesn't hurt to try.

See that's the thing. I need the stock rom so i can flash it lol. I asked it a few times before too ^__^;; . The good thing is, the battery still works fine .
Now on Odin.. I get many failed attempts..so I'm not sure I have the right stock rom.
edit : I tried that method..didn't work ....

Remember u can downgrade from 4.4.x...there's a thread in forum that explains what tz files r needed and which bootloader 2...I've done it couple of times myself from Dn4 rom and Eclipse V9 from 7100 thread. Just gotta read and be patient. Hope u get all straightened out. Keep us informed on progress.

With the phone in download mode, is there anything on the phone about knox or warranty bit? If there is, the phone can't be flashed with any stock ROM from sammobile.com.

REALLY??? Please show us the link for upgrade! As I said there is no OEM 4.3 ROM at sammobile
I was told many many times that AT&T (and this is the one we are talking about) 4.4.2 ROM can not be downgraded!
I tired the downgrade and yes the system will go down to 4.1.1 but it would keep the 4.4.2 bootloader so the phone won't charge while being off (making it pretty useless).

@audit13 : I've the phone since 2012. I think Im getting a new as is but I know this phone can't be done just yet. if I'm able to access download mode that should warrant itself the possibility of it being fixed. Just need that thread to follow those directions =)

Good Morning, thanks for the link.. But I'm already lost at which one I'm supposed to pick. Can you provide a link to that thread, please? Thank you
Adam

OMG, my bad.
Does the phone say anything about warranty bit or knox in download? If it does, the phone can't be flashed with any ROMs from sammobile.com.

my phone is SGH-I317 NOTE 2 .....

Did you have a chance to look at the download screen on the phone? Model is sgh-i317 in download screen too?

Hi. This is all i have on the download section
http://imgur.com/a/zYql8
Maybe I'm missing something extra like the videos i've seen ?

What is the model number on the label under the battery? Something is very wrong because there is no model number.

Well the model number SGH-I317 . I'm sure I mentioned it before. And yes. .I find that to be weird too >__<.. What am I missing?

In this case, I would try and flash the stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I317/

Ok.. so if I download both of these (or which one do you prefer? ). What else do I need to download? I do have two versions of Odin.
edit :
So i tried it on Odin 1.85.
I get something like GET PIT FOR MAPPING?
edit 2 :
Another Odin version gave me
Can't open the serial(COM) port after setup connection

sorry for double posting but here's a reminder
