No Service after flashing latest Jedi X

I have a t889 and a original sim card which was cut to microsim form. I had no trouble getting service. I rooted successfully and still had service. At this point I performed nandroid backup and efs backup and attempted to flash jedi x following all steps provided in the thread (wipe data, cache, format system, wipe dalvik, fix permissions). As soon as I did this I lost service...it has bars but no voice calls and no 4g. My IMEI still shows however. I ve tried everything from stock factory restore through ODIN to restoring efs, flashing stock radios/kernels restoring nandroid still cant get service, defintely need some step by step advice on how to get back my service. I feel like I followed all the appropriate steps to flash the room.

What recovery
Sent from my SGH-T889

I flashed CWM through ODIN cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar

Any help would be appreciated is it because jedi has a built in modem? Just trying to figure it out

How does the imei dissappear and how the heck do we avoid that?! Thanks so much.

I was in same bout as you. I used my insurances claim and got a new note 2.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

So did all of you flashed this rom and this happened to you?? Im confused.

I've been flashing phones since
<------
2007 and this note 2 I am terrified of flashing. every other day is a new thread just like this. Nobody knows why, nobody has a defacto solution. The only remotely close info I've read that works is to unroot and flash to stock. Even that is a gamble. If that does not work, consider it a loss. Sell it on eBay as a bad IMEI phone

Hey guys just fyi to let you know what I found with this issue. Just giving my input.
Well it looks like my imei is populating but my note 2 no longer gets service. Im probably going to warranty it so I can get service again I spent all of my weekend trying to fix. I think this issue may be related to something within the modem or radio being flash incorrectly and somehow corrupting the efs files. I searched forums about efs corruption and I think maybe it has something to do with a nv_data file missing? Not sure if that applies for sgn2 but I couldnt find or maybe I dont know WHERE to find it in root explorer. Maybe if we compare a working sgn2's efs file with a NON WORKING sgn2's efs file maybe that would help? I followed the steps in the t889 root guide step by step... and then as soon as I flashed Jedi 9 through cwm recovery BAAM...service was gone.
I tried reflashing, I tried reflashing stock modem\kernel and reverting back to stock via odin but no go.I did notice it was able to connect to tmobile for one to two sec because it would actually sync the time and date after turning on for the first time. But never again after that. My Imei and bars are showing ..but when I make a call it says "not registered on network" and no 4g either. I think this may be because the rom had included a different radio not sure which one defintely wasnt the canada ver. Flashing this rom somehow made my phone stop receiving service...Does restoring efs backup a guaranteed fix the lost imei/ service issues? Can flashing using earlier version of odin cause an issue? I used 1.84. Everything passed successfully however. Just throwing ideas to help. I definitely want to try to avoid the issue when get my note 2 back from repair.

I know that efs and modems are fixable but I believe there is additional steps needed to fix the imei... not sure if there has been a solution on that but im looking everywhere... found that you can pull your batter, write down your imei, us nv tool to create a nv file and flash it to the phone but not sure how it works with GNII... I personally havent had any issues so am not going to test with my device but for those with no service you could atleast try and report back for others... go to galaxynote2root website and find the videos on flashing tmo to att and vice versa, youll find the programs needed, drivers, etc and basic instructions to what im suggesting

I had this issue with a GS3. Had to do a warranty exchange. Ever since then I don't flash radios because that is when this can happen.

Does the phone even register to the network? Have you perhaps tried a different sim? I know you will be limited as to the carrier but try a friends sim just to be sure. I'm sure you could even take the phone to the dealer and they will test a different sim in the phone.
Has your IMEI possibly changed somehow, maybe it is acting like conflicting IP addresses on a network.
In Kies there is an emergency firmware recovery, perhaps that could help. I know I am probably not much help but 1 cent worth of help is better then no cents.

+1. As a newbie I was able to flash anything on my moto defy / ME525 without worrying a bit of bricking it, but I could only eagerly wait OTA update on my T889V.

I've actually been experience serverely degraded service since I flashed MyRom Revolution v2 last month, and not matter what I flash since service is questionable. I'm on the latest Jedi -XX from the 6th, and my 4g/3g service is 90% not there anymore, and i will flip to edge sometime for roaming on AT&T even or jsut be without service altogether... I've flashed the lastest modem from the Jan 26th, no help. New rom, ... no help. I'm ready to have my phone exchanged as well. Any ideas ?

Some people were having issues with the January 26th update flash back to ll4 and see if that doesnt improce things... also seen a thread refering to band 2 issues with one response refering to ATT towers... did you by chance ever download a ported ATT rom with a modem part of the install by chance?

Nailed it!!!!!!!!! My 4g is back again

Last week, I did the most stupid thing on my note 2 (SGH-t889). I saw a rom that i liked for the n7100 and flashed on my 889v. Of course, rom works fine but no DATA OR VOICE :crying:crying:
So I flashed my phone with my previous rom and I had data again. All of a sudden, after installing all my apps, I lost the connection. My phone went completely crazy
i saw unknown baseband on settings / phone status; phone rebooted itself. I tried to flash a stock rom, or even flash the 889v modem on any rom and no luck; i was on a constant boot loop
I had to flash another modem from T-Mobile to get out of boot looping (MODEM: T889UVALL4_Modem-Jan_16_13-teshxx) but i couldn't get on any network even if I my phone could detect them (I'm on Videotron).
I've searched xda and other sitEs for solution on how to fix an almost empty esf folder. On a tmo modem my emei was 0 0 and on videotron modem it was null.
SOLUTION
My efs folder was almost empty; no nv_data.bin and those other files.
I went across this site

It's a tutorial on how to enable aws on the AT&T note 2. It had just what i needed: a qcn file. Ive follwed the directions on the site; flashed the qcn file with the QPST software and rebooted the phone. My emei was a bunch of 0. No signal still but the battle wasn't loss.

Wow. I followed your steps to the letter and it worked, thank you so much!!
Have you flashed back to a VTR modem or would that mess everything up? Thanks again for your help.

From past experience flashing the videotron modem would bring me back to boot loop, wouldnt lose imei or signal but would start then after 30secs reboot.. Im stuck with tmo modem. Works fine but signal seems a little weaker.

i have canadian note2 t889v that i got from craigs the other day. everything seemed fine, didnt have sim to try for mobilicity that im on (aws band), he said he used it with rogers fine
I put the sim card, went to search networks but my provider was not listed there. So I rooted the phone , loaded twrp, flashed prerooted factory rom for t889v ( from mrrobins) , no network, than i flashed original factory rom, still no luck, than i flashed t889v modem and still the same.
My imei is present, and matches one on back of the phone. My efs folder is there and is populated (dont know if anything is missing from there)
I dont have backup of efs or imei. What are the chances it is corrupted ? Does anyone have any suggestion, and should i try this method to try to fix it ?

You may have to put your apn settings manually for your carrier. I would try that to start.

[Q] Help Recovering a Brick?

Hey guys, so long story short I flashed a modem meant for t889 (t-mobile) model on my t889v (wind) that nearly bricked my phone (lost all connectivity, imei info, stuck on kies recovery screen).
I do have a backup of my original efs partition/folder through the root toolkit, however restoring that gives me the ability to make voice calls but no data.
The steps I have taken so far are flashing a stock factory image then the t889 modem again to stop the bootloops, then restoring a qcn file and finally my efs partition. If anyone has any experience with this or could help me figure out why I don't have data it would be much appreciated.

Is your apn set up correctly? I don't know what it should be, but I believe it would have a tmo apn now since you flashed a tmo modem. that is if tmo and wind are even different apn.

Checked the apn and it actually had the wind settings there but still no dice.

Fixed!! Followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145967 and now have both my data/voice/imei back.
Strangely enough this results in me using the baseband that initially caused the bootloop and my efs backups did not seem to help.

[GUIDE] How to enable LTE on the Mobilicity / Wind / Vidéotron T889V

Hello everyone,
If you're using an SGH-T889V (originally from Vidéotron, Wind or Mobilicity) on a carrier that runs LTE on the AWS band, e.g.: Rogers, Bell, Telus, Fido, Virgin Mobile Canada, Koodo, AT&T or T-Mobile; this will allow you to enable LTE.
Note: Vidéotron has launched their LTE network in September 2014. As of writing this, it is unclear whether there will be a new T889V modem released with LTE enabled in the coming weeks, much like there was with T-Mobile USA when they launched their LTE network.
If you're using a T-Mobile USA SGH-T889, this guide isn't for you.
The usual disclaimers apply.
Actually, let me rephrase that: This mod permanently damages your phone, and irrevocably voids your warranty.
No one has been able to flash back to a T889V modem (be it ALJ4, BMA3, CMK4 or DNE7) without encountering bootloops afterwards.
Interestingly, T889VVLUDNH2 did not bootloop, it simply showed an "unknown" IMEI and baseband with no network connection.
Some background:
A rather lengthy post explaining what I did and what happened
TL;DR version of same
Additional relevant threads:
Getting LTE to work on fido
Need Help Please WIND 889V Borked
You'll need:
LTE - Coverage, known working microSIM, proper plan and system provisioning, etc...
Proper APN settings for your carriers on hand. (Better yet if you're running TouchWiz ROMs: proper CSC files and knowledge on how to modify and apply those.)
ADB
Clockworkmod/TWRP recovery
CWM/TWRP flashable I317M modem image. (I originally used the BMA3 modem, although the mod should work with any of them.)
Bell/Rogers/Telus I317M modem files
I317MVLALJ2 4.1.1 initial release (This one could be of interest for unlock purposes...)
I317MVLBMA3 4.1.2
I317MVLUCMK5 4.3
I317MVLUDNF1 4.4.2
I317MVLUDNF3 4.4.2 (I haven't downloaded the full Odin image and prepared a zip for this one.)
I317MVLUDNH2 4.4.2
Mobilicity/Vidéotron/Wind T889V modem files.
T889VVLALJ4 4.1.1 initial release - CAUTION: flashing this on top of a working ALJ4 modem installation has been known to cause bootloops and NV item corruption.
T889VVLBMA3 4.1.2
T889VVLUCMK4 4.3
T889VVLUDNE7 4.4.2
T889VVLUDNH2 4.4.2
Once you've downloaded the above files:
Backup your NV settings (in CDMA Workshop text format) as per this thread. You can also use the EFS Professional Tool (currently at version 2.1.61) almost identically to the older NV_reader_writer tool. (It also contains the IMEI NV item generator functions that Peoplearmy's tool had, apparently gone missing too.)
The only things I'll add are that:
RMNET + DM + MODEM is not available, you'll have to use RNDIS + DM + MODEM instead.
Finding the COM port can be done in device manager, you may need to refresh devices or disconnect and reconnect the USB port. If it's been properly detected, you can also click the Port text to the left of the droplist, there's an autodetect function there.
Also use this guide to backup (in QPST/QXDM .qcn format): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915
Optional: Backup the raw mk9efs partitions too, as per @connexion2005's suggestion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2079705 (they're not necessary for the mod itself, and are only made as an additional precaution)
Optional: Backup the raw mk9efs and efs partitions with this CWM or TWRP "flashable" zip based on the Synergyrom team's work. It outputs the dumps in a ready-to-flash restore zip.
Consider backing up other files and data from your phone with the usual complement of Titanium Backup, nandroid and so on. Copy those off the phone.
If you're running an AT&T or T-Mobile ROM: you may have to flash another ROM as well. The stock T889V ROM has a "Network Mode" setting that lets you toggle between LTE/WCDMA/GSM, WCDMA only and GSM only. The I317M and N7105 ROMs also have this, while the I317 and T889 probably don't.
On the T889V ROMs: to see LTE become an option, you'll need to edit your CSC files and remove the <CscFeature_Setting_DisableNetworkMode>lte</CscFeature_Setting_DisableNetworkMode> line in /system/csc/others.xml. This setting is only cosmetic: the notification bar icon will show "4G" and you won't see LTE in the network mode settings. However, the phone will still use LTE, which can be confirmed by looking in Settings / About Phone / Status. (I've come across this while flashing ROMs with unaltered CSC files.)
Let's proceed with the actual modification:
Reboot to recovery, flash the 317M BMA3 modem. Wipe /cache and Dalvik cache for good measure.
Reboot phone. No bootloops? Good.
Check in Settings / About Phone that you still have a valid IMEI. (It's possible you still do at this point.)
Reboot the phone. This time the IMEI and service should be lost.
Using the same procedure you did to back them up, restore your NV items.
Reboot the phone.
Confirm your IMEI is correct and that you have service.
Check in Settings: Wireless and networks -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode that LTE/WCDMA/GSM is selected. Another menu worth mentioning here is the "Band Selection" menu accessed through the *#2263# dialer code. Note that if you force the phone onto the LTE bands, you will only have data service, and no voice calls or SMS.

Those are very much a belt and suspenders bit. They're not to be restored in the instructions, and my inclusion here is mostly because connexion2005 had requested a set for a JTAG repair. I'm taking a guess here, but if there's any calibration data or other phone specific parameters in there, having those from your device on hand can't be bad.

What if I suffer boot loops, didn't do any backups, and my IMEI is already Zeroed out on my T889V? How can I fix this?
I have my IMEI still since it's written on the purchase box of the phone.
I used to be wind, now virgin mobile with LTE sim. I flashed tmobile modem. No love. Flashed T889V modem back, then got boot loops.
Please help!!!
edit:
Hi Darkshado, really hoping you can help.
I've done more reading. I can't seem to make the boot loops stop.
I've done odin to factory rom image. No luck.
I tried i317 custom modem you have here on XDA, no luck. Also Tmobile modem, etc... no luck.
I used CWM and permission fix, etc.. no luck.
My boot loop is a little weird. It will boot and stay live (working - no signal though) for about a min, then it will say some android.media.process is not responding and reboot.
So I can't get NV to inject my IMEI as it will reboot too soon. From what I read, NV needs 5-10 min??
basically, I did JEDIX-15 tmobile rom install with latest tmobile modem. That's how I got into this mess. I have a T889V and virgin LTE sim such as yourself.
I just can't seem to make the boot loops end so I can move forward....

Try writing flashing back the T889 baseband and restoring a T889 or T889V NV items backup.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/p5025pxtp9vgk4k/NV_items.7z

Will this do?
T889UVBMD1
from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380
I'm going to try and odin the factory image and see if that stops the reboots.
I'm guessing baseband is the same as modem correct?
I'll go give it a try now and use CWM to inject it first before I odin.
I've never done an NV restore let alone backup, so that seems to be my hick up. I'll do some research and get that done then and get back to you.
Thanks for the assistance.
edit:
I'll try to write NV, but that might be an issue since I need the phone not to reboot, and it does in under a minute usually.
Any suggestions, or specific rom I can try to write so I can eliminate the reboots so I can do the nv?
edit2:
ok, the tmo modem from that link above worked. It's not boot looping after a min now!
There is still zero signal. Does not connect. When I do *#2263# and choose automatic, it says menu does not exist, etc...
going to to try inject my IMEI with NV.
Will report back.
Edit 3
Ok, just used nv read/write to inject your t889v nv file. Then generated my imei and injected that.
reboot, and got signal! yay.
thank you so much!\
When I go to settings. I only see WCDMA/GSM/AUTO. No LTE option. I think I read somewhere that is cosmetic?
If I NV write the T889 NV file from deeznutz1977 will that fix it cosmetically?
Thanks again!

20% More Awsomeness
I switched over to Telus sine Mobilicity is going under . I could only get HSPA+ @ 5Mbps, Now I too have fully working LTE. Albeit with weaker signal strenth due to higher band freqency. But I can just toogle LTE when needed. I must admit that second reboot with IMIE 0 and no service was a bit nerve racking, but the backup was flawless. Thanks a million OP. ^_^

i edited the csc called other....
and the LTE line was already not present.
The LTE option is still not in the mobile settings however.
When I do the *#2263# menu and set it to LTE the data does keep working. And I do see it in the system info. Also using a tmobile radio with the JEDI-X15 rom. yay.
But I'd like to solve the cosmetics side of it.
I did inject the t889V nv setting.... could that affect it? Would the t889 NV settings fix it?
edit:
still no luck getting LTE option to appear, although it works, I'd like to solve the cosmetic side of it.
Any help?

You can also get confirmation that LTE is active by checking in About phone / Status.
I don't feel like going through the 664 pages of the Jedi X ROM thread to see if they've altered the network icons or not. Being based on the N7105 ROMs icons with either "4G" or "LTE" captions should be present. Are you editing the active CSC files? Namely those in /system/csc/ ?
I should mention that some CSC edits only apply upon factory reset, e.g. activating WB-AMR, (a.k.a. HD Voice). One neat trick is to make a backup in recovery (nandroid or TWRP), factory reset, then reboot to recovery and restore the backup. I don't recall if this applies to the network icon related lines or not.

Older Modems
Question?
As I stated before it was a smooth transition. But... Some claim the older modem worked better (I317M-I317MVLALJ2). I tried through TWRP as before but the return status says FAILED. No changers are thus made. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've been able to flash back and forth between ALJ2 and BMA3. You're saying the linked ALJ2 zip refuses to flash? I'll have to check, but this might take a few days as I'm:
-rather busy IRL
-stuck using my old laptop (mushy, thoroughly worn out keyboard with an overzealous enter key that fires the moment you hint at touching it and a dead left shift key) while the other is in warranty repair (failing PSU seems to have damaged the motherboard and/or dGPU)

yep, I edited those CSC files as per your original write up.
I did not factory reset. And yes, you are right. A good example is the Nexus 4. It needs a factory reset to keep the LTE settings ( unless you go to the "INFO" menu, and then you need to reset again.
Okay, I'll try the reset tonight. See what happens. And yes, I see LTE in system info.
Also, when I use speedtest, it records it as lte.
Honestly, I'm just happy it works again...

Problem Solved. The issue was I am using SDCard encryption. For some reason TWRP can SEE the cards files, but not use them. When I moved the modem to internal it installed fine. Sorry bout that.

Probably Not? There are threads of people trying to get there i317 to work with AWS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041
Then again this is a t989v. Don't risk it unless your prepared to not go back.

It should. My data in this department is very limited, since I don't have an active Videotron account on hand. With that said, I got a working speed test on Videotron's AWS HSPA shortly after sorting my phone out this winter. (I simply dropped by one of their stores while at a shopping mall and nicely asked a sales rep to borrow an active SIM card. Showed her the menu unlock method as a thank you.)
I also got to use the phone with T-Mobile USA earlier this year, getting both HSPA (some of it likely AWS, though I didn't get the time to check) and LTE.

@Darkshado thank you very much for the T889VVLUDNE7 modem. I just flash the zip in cwm and it work perfect for my Videotron T889V.

Thanks for putting this together!!
Quick question - I have a t889v from Wind Mobile. I switched carriers to Rogers, and in the process screwed up my phone and had no IMEI/Baseband. Had to send it in for repair to replace the board. It came back with the baseband T889UVUCMK7.
Do you think I can still use this method? I'm currently running a T-mobile Touchwiz 4.4.2 ROM (Test Rom v1.2).

What does download mode give as product ID? You may well have a U.S. board in there now.
The later T-Mobile T889 basebands support LTE out of the box. Make sure your APN settings, plan and SIM card are correct, and that the modem you have does support LTE; if not, you might just need to update that.
I know some people here followed essentially the steps I did, but with the T889 modem instead, but I don't think it applies here.
Good luck,

Need full NV (dont need IMEI) back up from a ROGERS S3 i747

Hello
I have a Rogers S3 i747.
I messed up my phone during a cynogen update and after working at it for a long time, my phone is now working,
however the data keeps cutting in and out and sometimes i cant send messages or recieve them, also cant make phone calls sometimes.
I need a FULL NV back up from another Rogers S3 i747 that has not been rooted.
**I DONT NEED YOUR IMEI, you can delete that**
*if you can help me, but not sure how, here is the link to the instructions, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
i appreciate the help, thank you.

Is your imei missing?
Not sure that an NV restore would solve the problems. Does your bootloader match your modem?

-yes i have the correct bootloader (ending with MK5) which is for the canadian i747, i have the latest bootloader and latest stock image.
-initially after the cynogen update, only WiFi worked, and i found my IMEI and NV was missing, and i never made a back up
-so i used the tools and instructions provided on previous threads, and input my IMEI. and then my WIFI and EDGE worked, but i didn't have any 3G or 4G or LTE
-then i used my dads galaxy S3 (from a FIDO network), used his full NV and put it into my phone, and wrote in my original IMEI.
-now everything works, except when my data and carrier connections cut out. its on and off through out the day.
-so i believe that if i can get an original NV full back up of another ROGERS S3 that has not been altered, then i should have everything working without cutting out.:good:

First thing, no one is allowed to post that here. It can potentially be used to help clone stolen devices and as such, is against forum rules.
Second thing, there may be another way to address this. I will PM you in a few to give you another option.
