Hello. I just bought a note 2 that was locked to videotron. (sgh-t889v) I managed to unlock it, and got it working on fido. But as i suspected, all i get is hspa+. I would like some help on how to get LTE to work. I'm assuming I need to flash a rogers modem since rogers and fido share the same lte network. I just can't for the life of me, find any info anywhere. Can anyone help?
STOP.
There are some things that are still being worked out here.
It is possible you won't be able to go back to the T889V modem after flashing any other modem, and IMEI corruption is a likely occurance.
In the meantime, could you make a proper NV items and IMEI backup following these two threads?
[TOOL/GUIDE] Full NV Backup and Restore [SIMPLE] [08-03-2012]
[WARNING! + GUIDE] Backup and Restore IMEI / NV Data Procedure for GT-I9305
From the text file backup made with the NV_reader_writer tool, could you remove item 550 (that's your IMEI, which I have no business in knowing), and forward the remainder to me or post it here? Thanks in advance.
I've managed to get LTE working on my T889V with the I317M modem, but it wasn't without some trouble and I get bootloops if I try to revert to the T889V modem.
Another poster here is stuck on the T889 modem, and until I sent him a T-Mobile T889 NV backup his phone was only capable of 2G GSM, rendering it unusable with his Wind Mobile SIM card.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do in regards to your request. But it will have to be tomorrow
Wait did that person fix the problem with only getting 2g using the NV backup? I'm stuck on 2g also. If this helped please send me the NV backup as well.
I'm stuck using the t889 modem. As all other modems give me a unknown baseband and unknown imei. Along with a bootloop.

here is the full NV backup you requested. sorry about the delay! hope I did everything right lol, first time doing that.
Looks all good to me. Now to do some more research and testing...
I put my IMEI back in the file, wrote it all, rebooted. No problems, HSPA and LTE still functional.
Rebooted to download mode and reflashed the T889V modem *still* bootloops, weird.
I'll make a nandroid and try with clean user data.
Merci beaucoup!

How did you flash a I317 radio on a t889 in the first place anyway? I don't quote understand, but did you delete your imei to make it work?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I modified another Note 2 modem recovery zip (I think it was for the T889, or maybe the T889V) to put in the I317M modem instead.
Flashing that corrupted my IMEI.
Hello dspkeff, it's nice to see your post here, and let me breakdown what I have done to make the T889V work on the Fido 4G network by flashing the i317M modem and I'd like to ask you about the how to connect the phone to read/write the NV items.
First of all, my phone now is bricked because the IMEI number is gone (shows 0), but yes, I did get it working, not with the stock ROM, with the Jedi X 7.2 instead.
The time when I noticed my mobile data was gone was after flashing another custom kernel. I don't know if it has anything to do with the kernel or just because of flashing the modem. I did get 4G access and I tested the speed and the H+ icon was changed to 4G instead. And then I decided to try out the custom kernel, and then the data was gone after reboot.
So a lot of videos suggested that flashing the stock ROM will fix everything, but not in our cases here, because the T889V will stuck in bootloop when flashing the stock ROM... and that not only me, there are some other people on the forum who are experiencing the exact same problem.
Now we are stuck here, I've been thinking a lot, the only way I can get the IMEI back is to do the IMEI injection by using the NV reader/writer program such as QPST, or NV-items reader/writer, but I couldn't get them to even connect to my phone. That is actually the reason I'm PMing you because I saw that you provided the NV backup of the T889V! If you can read the phone, I think there is a way to write to it, and then I can preform an IMEI injection, maybe it can unbrick my phone!
Could you kindly tell me how you backup the NV-items please please? I really don't wanna lose 700 bugs lol, thanks soooo much!

Which part of the modem did you modify? Would you mind posting your modified modem?
I noticed that my T889 isn't accepting Rogers and AT&T modems -- Whenever I flash them, my baseband in settings would say "Unknown".
I modified the updater zip, the modem file is straight from the stock Odin file.

I cannot get them to connect to my phone either and have the same issue. I can boot by using CWM to mount and then fixing permissions but no baseband, SIM card recognition or IMEI.
it was bootlooping for me and IMEI corruption from flashing a t889 ROM on a t889v (which worked before a number of times). I made sure the flashcounter said zero and warrantied it with Samsung. Even Samsung couldn't fix it and gave me a brand new one.
Can only get it to 1 not zero.
could you provide the i317m modem you have used

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.

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

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?

Hello guys, I really need help here.
I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100, it was working fine until I decided to Root it using the All-in-One Toolkit which also worked fine after Rooting. I later decided to flash a Custom ROM (CM 10.1 - Android 4.2.2) so I did a TWRP Nandroid Backup then flashed the ROM. I was disappointed by the new ROM especially the Camera Quality so i chose to go back to old ROM.
I tried Restoring the backup but it kept failing, so I flashed a stock ROM, re-Rooted the phone and tried the Restore again. When it finally worked and I got the phone running, there was a very big problem: SERVICE STATE: Out of Service & MOBILE NETWORK STATE: Disconnected. I cant make calls, Cant send SMS nor surf the Internet. I really don't know how to go around this, I tried Factory Reset but no Success.
Help Please.

The first 4 digits of the IMEI shown is 0049
Which i have noticed are different from the IMEI shown behind the phone itself.
0049 is a generic imei which means your efs is corrupt.. did you take a efs backup like all the rooting and custom rom guides say to take once rooted.

I had erased everything from the SD card and Internal storage :crying::crying::crying:
i have also tried the Stock ROM but there is no success.
Isnt there a way maybe that I can get the efs from another phone or download a backup? Or can the phone be revived by any custom ROM out there? :crying::crying:
The only method for you then is to purchase triangle away from play store. You should be able to use wifi. Open triangle away reset flash counter. Then in super su go to full unroot. Then open kies and click tools click firmware initialisation I think it is and enter the model number and serial number of your phone. Get this from under battery. Accept the kies download and wait for reboot. Some people have had success with this but yiu defo need to purchase triangle away to reset your counters. Without reset kies will not work..
Edit: just been looking and apparently once youve installed newer roms you cant revert to anything before dmf firmware. Unless you had your efs backup..

It should support. Did you use triangleaway and unroot through super su. If kies detects any mods such as root or custom recoveries it will not work..

I have tried searching for many solutions, I even downloaded some efs image an d flashed it to the phone using ODIN but as a result it got me a new problem, FACTORY MODE. though i successfully got out of that but I still have the IMEI problem. When I search all I can find is HOW TO BACKUP AND RESTORE EFS and it works only if you had a backup or the Original Shipped efs (all of which I dont have).
Another solution I found out there is to use a Z3X BOX to repair the IMEI but very hard to find out here. so the only option I have left is the one I requested in my previous post. I hope anyone out there can help me

No one is going to give you a copy of there efs.
Youve tried odin it didnt work..
I tried helping you through kies that didnt work. You cant restore something you never had or deleted.
I know this sounds harsh but your gonna have to pay money to get your note running again like so many other people who didn't take the time to read the guides and tutorials before getting flash happy.. I hate to say it but youve learnt the hard way..

Search for "ARIZAPatch" it will help. But it requires root access so you will have to root your phone. I used it on a Note 2 with a similar problem and now it works like a charm.

working on 4.4.2 ?
I have the same problem, the phone surf in web with 3g but i can't make a call or send sms, only emergecy call, afetr reboot the pohone make and recevie call but after a couple of time .... only emergency call.
The imei is intact, the efs folder is present, the sn is present.
can AT&T deactivate my SIM or block my IMEI if they detect a custom ROM?....my SIM is not working anymore I Rooted . FreeGee'd and Restored to this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419802
I got 4G LTE fine (after changing to a different "pta" APN) but couldn't call. Found out I flashed the baseband for the E988 instead of the E980. I went to CWM and flashed the proper AT&T E980 baseband after a CWM wipe and restore again....my Sim still wasn't working
I saw some things that AT&T can deactivate a SIM if they detect a break in...can i just buy a new SIM?
I used the LGFlashTool. flashed back to stock completely. (relocked and unrooted) and it still gives me the red "X" near the signal strength and it won't save APN's
contacted online tech support said that "AT&T deactivated my SIM card as they thought my phone was being broken into and they thought it was stolen" is this something new? can I just get a new SIM at the AT&T store?
i've rooted and flashed an (including my significant other, co-workers at various places of work and my own handsets) HTC thunderbolt, HTC rezound, 2 Galaxy SIII's, a LG Optimus S, LG Optimus V, ZTE Warp,Galaxy SII, and even a Droid Razr and I have NEVER had the provider deactivate the Sim card because of hacking.
was the tech support person "Andy" trying to scare me?..is it true?..or did I bork the SIM by flashing the wrong baseband the first time?...because my SIM still isn't working
any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Go to att store and get a new SIM card.

they won't ask any other "questions" or find out that I DID root / Flash and Unlock?....

No just go in tell them your SIM card isn't working and you need another.. those people working at the att store don't care if your rooted or running custom roms.. unless your trying to do a warranty return...
sim card replacement should be free also
turns out....it wasn't the SIM card....new one was put in and it still didn't work..the guy looked at the IMEI and it said unknown....had no idea how it got there...but made a jab at LG for making cheap phones and said "theres a reason why we dont carry LG" .fortunately I was still in the return window process and got an exchange same day at a nearby corporate store...do you think it was something I did?
either way..not rooting or flashing until a year has passed

Thought I had read on some of the ROM threads that flashing an incorrect baseband can cause some major issues, such as wiping out your IMEI...
You simply needed to use LGFlashtools to return to stock and your phone would have been fixed. Always make a backup of your currently 'FULLY' working Rom that way if something goes wrong, you can return to stock and be up and running. What happened was that your baseband was incorrect after flashing the wrong modem. Flashing the correct modem didn't fix it fully because that partition became corrupt. Restoring a fully functional backup would have fixed that issue.
Glad you got your phone returned though. Hopefully they don't bill you when they see that your phone is rooted and hacked. They might.

oh no problem..they gave me a new phone because i returned it back to stock using the LG FlashTool
It was your own fault not the phones. Flashing an baseband not meant for your phone will cause this...
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.
