[Q] Cannot flash t889v modem on t889v

Hi I recently purchased a note II t889v, I didn't have a micro sim at the time to test it properly. I am stuck on edge:2 while on rogers. I then noticed that it had been flashed by the previous owner. So I looked around the forums.
Details:
-In download mode model is listed as sgh-t889v_NA_VTR
-I have tried to reflash to stock MCT T889VVLALJ4 gets stuck in boot loop
-extracted the modem.bin and flashed using odin and cwm flash. sometimes boots up to lock screen but crashes then reboots or freezes
-using t-mob t889 modem(T889UVALJ1_Modem.zip) allows me to start the and use the phone, but limits to edge:2
-IMEI is listed in the status
I'm trying to get the phone to connect to UMTS.
Any help or input would be appreciated thank you in advance.

I have already tried flashing that modem also. I'm one of the 6 people who downloaded it lol. as soon as it was released by ptmr on his jedi 3 rom. gets stuck in boot loop also. only modem so far that didn't boot loop was the t-mobile modem t889.

tried still stuck on boot loop. If it I flash the modem after I have started the system. without factory reset it get to the lockscreen then it reboots. after factory reset it doesn't even get to lockscreen.

Now try flash stock T889V via Odin . When in bootloop boot your note into recovery .Then factory reset , reboot.

1. downloaded the T889VVLALJ4_T889VYVLALJ4_MCT firmware from sammobile
2. downloaded odin 3.07
3. put phone into download mode using voldown+home+power
4. opened odin
5. plugged in usb.
6. waited for com to show up and looked for added msg.
7. clicked pda selected the T889VVLALJ4_T889VYVLALJ4_T889VVLALJ4_HOME.tar.md5 file
8. ensured auto boot and f reset only checked.
9. pressed start.
10. phone reboots into a boot loop
11. hold volup+home+power go into stock recovery and factory reset
12. reboot system
13. still in bootloop
also I don't know if this will help solve the issue. with odin I cannot flash any modems other than t889v(LJ4). whenever I try to flash t889(LJ1) modem it fails in odin but works when using CWM.

I hope so too. I just don't understand why the phone won't boot up unless I use the t-mobile modem. but I only get stuck on edge:2

I just noticed that when I boot up after installing a stock rom I'm still rooted does that mean anything?

i get bootloop too on the t889v without the t889v mdm. so strange.

Something weird

Hi guys i had the Note 5120 running 4.1.2 and all the while rooted with Framaroot 1.60 and had install multi window manager. I did not install custom recovery so i did not have any backups made as im just a simple user and will make use of the root for some enhancements. Today i installed font installer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer. After i chose my desire font, it request for a reboot and i did.
That is where the problem arised. My device is now stuck at the welcome screen with the word Samsung glowing and thats about it. I had done a hard reset but still the same. And i didnt manage to get any further info of my built and anything else *sigh*.
Anyone here be able to help me on this as that is all the rooting i have done on this phone. Never tried Odin or anything else. Hopefully some can help revive my 8 days old Note

Just as i found out about it. I am currently downloading the stock rom from sammobile. Just to be sure that i can place the stock rom in my ext sd card and use stock recovery to flash it after i rename it as update.zip?

you can just do a factory reset in stock recovery and your tablet will go back to factory fresh status..dont bother downloading or flashing anything, just factory reset and you are back to square one

In most cases, you need to extract the tar.md5 file from zip and flash using odin.

[Q] Did I brick my SGH T889?

I am flashing this for my cousin. She woke me up out my sleep because she wanted her phone upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 or kitkat. I downloaded a 4.3 ROM and didnt flash it correctly because Wifi nor data was working. It could be because I didnt flash the OTA first and/or didnt install the devil kernel.
Anyways I was walking her through how to restore the backup I made but she went into Download mode and here is when the problems started. i told her to battery pull and to go into recovery. There was already a backup ROM on her SD card, she flashed and it failed. Had her wipe twice and it failed again. Had her wipe again and restore and it failed. After 10 minutes of it failing I had her send me the phone.
I was unable to flash any ROM so i factory reset through recovery and still nothing. I then started flashing through ODIN the latest stock, deoxed stock, the MD4, I even flashed LJ1. Some of the ROMs will fail to flash and if a ROM does flash successfully I get no further than the Galaxy Note 2 screen.
So is this an indication that the phone is bricked or am I missing a step or two to finally get this phone to finally boot all the way up?

Most likely the phone is on 4.3 bootloader which is why flashing 4.1.2 ROM via pc odin does not work.
You can either flash 4.1.x stock ROM via mobile odin pro or flash 4.3 stock ROM via pc odin.

Unable to flash stock ROM via PC odin
Hello
I am in almost the same situation as mo2002. I had original ROM that came with my note2 running android 4.3 then decided to try jedi master x2 also 4.3. After trying it out for a while I noticed poor battery performance and when phone was locked I had to press the menu button several times to see the screen. That was getting on my nerves. Yesterday my phone was booting up by itself. It did a couple times then got stuck with the samsung logo. Reboot again and again and the same stuff happened that's when I decided to flash stock rom from samsung.updates/device site using odin3 v3.09 however, I have not been successful. After it checks the md5 OK, it fails on the NAND write. Is it the case that the NAND memory is not unlocked? I am still able to boot into recovery though.
Thanks

Mines corrected itself so I can't give the exact instructions but I just kept flashing stock ROMS via odin but I used 3.07 I believe. Idk if that makes a difference but after X amount of attempts I power cycled (after it being stuck at the same galaxy note 3 screen) it booted successfully

[Q] stock/no root phone won't boot, only DL mode works

Hello,
My unrooted At&T galaxy s3 will not go past the Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen. When I enter recovery it just gives me a dead android guy.
I had this problem before and to fix it, I used odin to flash the stock 4.0.4, then I flashed 4.1.1 (I think these are the correct versions, I followed instructions here), then my phone wouldn't OTA update to touchwiz 4.3 so I flashed it using recovery mode using instructions and files I found here. The phone worked fine for a few weeks after that, but then started to reboot randomly and delete apps. Eventually it just stopped working all together which is where I am now.
I tried to install TWRP using odin which odin says worked but when I try to go to recovery mode I still just see the dead android guy. The phone did not have USB debugging mode turned on so I am not sure if I could install a custom recovery at all.
I tried the CF-auto root that I found here which got partway through and then failed.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Is there a stock touchwiz 4.3 rom that I could flash using odin??
Thank you very much, please let me know if you require any more information, I really want to get my phone working again.

It almost sounds like you're dealing with a situation I'm having on my galaxy tab. It has the internal SD chip going bad. I had to use a rom specially made to boot from a partitioned external sd card. Sorry, I can't help more, but the symptoms seem similar.

Try flashing the TWRP again with Odin, but make sure the auto reboot option on the left is unchecked in Odin. After flashing, unplug the phone and then hold volume up + menu + power buttons at the same time until it reboots.

I just tried it with only F. Reset Time checked, it installs it and says a green Pass!. I then unplugged it, tried to hold volume up + menu + power buttons for a while but nothing happened. I pulled the battery and then did volume up + menu + power buttons and went straight back to dead android guy. Any ideas?

Only other thing right now is to make sure you have the latest odin, which is 3.09

No there's no Odin flash-able there.
Sorry, we don't seem to have any answers for your problem. It seems like it may be more of a hardware issue than software.

Did you phone boot after flashing stock 4.04?

Yes it did, the first time that this started happening. But I was unable to do that again, I thought since I flashed all the way to 4.3 and I read that once you go to 4.3 you can't go back. Is that correct?
Thank you for your help. I was hoping to try an odin flashable touchwiz 4.3 but I can't seem to find one.

So you had 4.04 on your phone and you used OTA updates to get to 4.3? If this is correct, then you can't flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM because it has never been made available to the public; therefore, the only 4.3 ROMs that may work are based on the leaked AT&T 4.3 ROM or compiled from an OTA update.
Once of these ROMs may get your phone going again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233

Did you try installing Philz Touch from Odin? As was suggested earlier, don't use auto reboot. Once Philz has been installed and you see Reset in the window, disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, wipe and flash a custom ROM. This may help you get your phone working for now.

Nope, USB debugging will not make a difference.
The latest Philz Touch is based on the latest CWM. After your flash Philz, are you letting the phone auto reboot on its own after flashing in Odin?
I know of no way to convert a custom ROM so it can be flashed in Odin.

I have the same screen now... I wasn't on stock and I was sitting comfortably with the MDL bootloader and while trying to get Insane KitKat working, I must have done something wrong and now Kies can't restore it either and I'm on the MK2 bootloader or something.... I have a Knox counter now........

You can flash Philz Recovery to get rid of the "Kies Recovery" screen. I have the same exact problem, and I can't solve it so far. Been trying to fix it for the past 7 hours.

Edit:
I fixed it! Once you flash Philz Recovery, factory wipe the phone, and delete dalvik cache. Once that is done, flash the ROM you wanted to install through Philz Recovery, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo will load up (with the error on top left) then the rom will load up right after. I hope this works!

I've had NB4 for a while now, none of that changed. I have data just fine but the phone app freezes for a really long time and then reboots the phone. Plus the whole phone is insanely slow now. Aaaannnnd now I have a knox counter and am sad I might just try to sell this to someone on XDA who might think they can bring it back to life. It turns on, it has data just fine and a fast signal but the phone is so slow it can't keep up...
