You cannot flash via Odin or via recovery? Is the device rooted (check for supersu in the app-drawer)?
You can always flash via Odin IMHO with your computer. There are also prerooted firmwares available here. Just check the forum.
I can flash via Odin and recovery and all proces is ok but when phone booting I dont have network and I check with some app from play store phone unlocked?
You must have broken efs
Anyway root your device and make efs backup. (read post #4 in first line on my signature)
It will be better if you make nandroid backup too on ext sd card.
Then you can flash any stock rom, in case you get issue then restore efs Or nandroid.
PS : such issue happens once in while, nothing to worry, just keep efs backup always and flash rom, once you are on xda, you can't keep yourself away from flashing )

I rooted my At&t Note 2 with 4.2.2 and it seemed to work fine. Then when I went to get the gapps put on for the google software I ran into an issue. Since I was dumb and didnt create a recovery spot first I have nothing to go back to. Right now my phone is stuck in the "android system recovery" screen where the android guy is laying on his back with a red sign over his open stomach. I have tried to just hit wipe and to reboot it but all it does is restart the phone and bring me right back to the screen. What do I do please help!!! Is it possible to download someone elses recovery and apply update from my SD card??
You need to use Odin to install a recovery. ..and a rom...
You are currently in limp mode. ..
Be careful. ..you are 1 step away from a brick. ..
Go to the development section and study up with ODIN. ..then prepare the PC to run it. ..
Once Odin functions...prepare the device. ..
Your goal is first a working recovery. .. (TWRP or CWM)....
Then a suitable rooted stock rom...
For now. ...make no more attempts until you understand these functions. ..or you "will" brick the device. ..

I don't think so, you're going to have to find out why odin isn't recognizing your device. Maybe Gregg can chime back in but until he does I would suggest re-downloading the sammy drivers and see if that helps.

Are you putting your phone in Download Mode ? Turn off phone, hold down the HOME key, Volume Down and Power Button. You should boot into Download mode, this is what you should be in order to use Odin. Then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844 to return you to stock or flash a custom recovery if you like to stay in a custom rom.
Good luck

Agreed. ..
If the device drivers are correct. ..and Odin can't see the device. ..then Kies is a last resort. .
You should also try another cable as well. ..
Cables must be OEM...or of the same quality. ..and for the same device. .
If these attempts fail. ..continue to try again. ..
The device isn't dead...and if download mode exists...You will beat this issue. ..
Never give up. ..just keep at it. ..g
If Odin can't see your device it only means one thing you don't have proper drivers for it. Reinstall drivers and try again, as long as you can access download mode you are good.

Had the same problem as you did, I always made backups and indeed a tar.gz backup, Unpack the backup and copy it to the efs folder(Root), also make a backup of the current efs folder so you can't sink further. You'll need root explorer for this with read/write.
I tried..still the same..
I used root explorer and copy to the efs folder and then restart..
Latest version of omega rom? Did you update modem or Flash a kernel?
Please post screenshots of your "about device" page.
Most likely you simply have a kernel/modem combination which is incompatible. Should be easy enough to fix if we can get you back to a matching configuration.

Heres one solution to the imei problem on n7100. When you flash a new rom your efs containing imei wifi bluetooth etc gets corrupted/repartitioned this is apparently a fix by flashing the modem posted and a compatible kernel. I will warn you though another guy had the same problem and every guude tutorials we followed did not work and his n7100 was left a brick. In the end he used triangle away flashed a stock rom and unrooted and it had to be sent back to service centre..

You need to flash the modem in the link via odin.. im not sure if you then manually need to extract your backup of efs back to root. You also need an upto date kernel. Im not sure which but it needs to be a recent one..
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
You need to do things in this order:
1. Flash a stock firmware older than DME6
2. Root again using cf-autoroot or similar
3. Use an app such as root Explorer to copy from your efs backup into the /efs folder on your phone.
I've done this at least 3 times now as I often test new roms and the imei is always messed up until after I restore the efs backup I've had in dropbox since the very day I purchased this phone.
I broke my s3 by failing to back up efs and I'd never make that mistake again.

If you use the search feature and tap in "lost imei" all your questions will have answers. It looks like you have an n7100. And by the look of things you were on mc3 4.1.2 and flashed an older rom of 4.1.1 I dont think you can do that..

I had a problem like this except it happened when I flashed a rom. The rom corrupted my SD Card so I lost my backup and even after flashing stock it did not work. Eventually I sent it in to Samsung. Now I have learnt my lesson to keep a backup on multiple locations

It is because of downgrade of your rom.
Some time downgrade results in conflict modem and efs data corruptions.
It recommend to immediate take a backup of efs files after root.
Now do fiollowing steps
1. flash DMC3 full rom( Not only modem).
2. Wipe data and cache.
3. Wipe dalvike cache.
4. Reboot device.
It may solve your problem.

DMC3 also older rom for countries mentioned above.
Flash mg1 or simply look N7100 all in one on my signature, look post #6 and download modem for mg1 (it will have kernel, recovery and modem) you need modem only for network issue but I recommend to flash all three as your current rom I think not sds patched.

Hi, I've a Galaxy Note 2 in "N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDMF1_PHE" and I want to update it to 4.3. I've read that I have to update first to "N7100XXDMG1_N7100ODDDMG1" and then flash the custom rom I like the most. But, when I update to DMG1, it says "Only Emergency Calls", I have the correct IMEI and S/N but I can't make call or connect to 3G. I've read too that it's a problem with my EFS folder, that is too old... I have a backup of the IMEI in "N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDMF1_PHE". What can I do?

I update my problem if anyone can help me and not have to open another post ...
Investigating why not let me install the 4.3 version on my Note II, I noticed that regardless of the official 4.1.2 rom by ODIN installed, if not install ArizaPatch first and then restore my backup of the EFS there is no way that catch signal and remove the sign "emergency calls Only". As a fact: I'm from Tuenti mobile, and when it is the ArizaPatch nor my EFS backup out that I am connected to the network Movistar, but when I apply the patch and my backup out that I am connected to the network Tuenti (owned by Movistar) . I do not know if it has anything to do but I found it curious ...
Is there a way to move past this problem? I mean ... How I can do to take my mobile network without using the ArizaPatch?
I have Downgraded my Note 2 N7100 from DN3 v3 custom to Official Stock Android 4.1.2 vis Odin and now i can't call and text singal are showing full bars but it shows no registered network Emergency calls only , plz any one tell me what is the Problem what is happening ???????

Check whether you ESN is correct. If it is corrupted you might have to do a EFS restore from a back up. I hope you have a EFS back up?
All steps can be found in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536418
In short you just have to download modem file from the link given in the above thread and flash it via odin in the PDA tab.
Gud luck.

You can check the ESN by dialing *#06# and compare it with your original ESN which should be in your original box or with the documentation.
