Purchased an unlocked international N7100 GT-N7100 running 4.1.1 JellyBean last Nov. from Newegg. When I got to the States I installed a t-Mobile SIM card at which point I noted Settings showed Baseband ver. N7100UBALJ1; Kernel ver. SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 2...KST 2012.
Tried rooting (w/out success*) several+ times this morning using ExynosAbuse-v1.40.apk.
Right now Settings shows JB 4.1.2; Baseband ver. N7100UBDLL3; Kernel ver. 3.0.3l-749832 [email protected]#1, SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 26...; Build JZO54K.N7100UBDLL3.
Not sure if the change is due to my failures w/Exynos today or if Samsung snuck in an update last Dec b/4 I got that option turned off. Actually, I'm thinking a phone purchased unlocked probably doesn't have the same software as one purchased from a specific carrier/vendor so I'm not even sure I'm in the right forum!
Just want is to get this damn thing rooted but I'm so confused and frustrated...sleepless...at this point from searching, reading, comparing, etc. the different threads that I'm afraid I'm going to make an unforgivable blunder. Know myself well enough that I won't give up until it's either rooted or bricked and I'll be stuck w/a disposable phone or one of my daughter's ancient castoffs.
Would someone tell where I should go from here? Also, does Chainfire's new ver. 4.805 change what one should be doing now? i.e., easiest/safest way to go?
*Also tried unsuccessfully to post in Simplelife's "Root T889..." thread, but seems the rules have changed since last I visited.

because you have the International version it is different from the T-mobile's T889 version. I would recommend getting the Note II all in one toolkit. It will help you root/flash/backup your phone with ease.... just make sure when you're flashing anything to your phone you're using files for the INTERNATIONAL version not T-MOBILE

Appears to me Andromizer backs up most everything, but that it requires Root and Busybox.
I did find reference to Simple ADB Backup (Holo Backup) in Troutman's Let's Talk About ADB frontpage post of January 21st that doesn't require root but it cautions against backing up system apps. I haven't yet discovered the difference between what Holo terms 'system apps' and 'device data' (safe to backup). I am assuming that imei/efs/nv are system. Could some clue me in?

Yea, like posted above you can use a full restore rooted odin or one_click to get root. Assuming you didn't bone the phone with the files you tried.

Last month I rooted my att note 2 and installed Twrp and the jedi X 13 rom. I noticed today that my wife's note 2 on the stock att rom has much faster data speeds. So I decided to check the baseband version and found she was on mca4 while I'm still on ucalk7. I'm almost positive that this is the reason my data speeds are slower but would like to know for sure. And if so, can I just flash the modem and ril file without touching the custom rom? And also can you point me to the proper files to flash?
Thanks,
Wade

1st, I wanna thank the mod for moving this to the right place. I had a brain fart yesterday and posted it in the Sprint forums. So thank you!!
2nd, I solved the problem with my data speeds and it had nothing to do with the modem. At&t had my phone identified on their network as a iphone 3gs somehow, so I was never on the LTE network and therefore wasn't getting the LTE data speeds.
However, through troubleshooting this I was able to find the information needed to update my baseband to the newest one without any problems and can confirm the Jedi X 13 rom works great on an LTE network in case anyone was wondering.
I love this forum and have learned a lot through reading and wanna thank everyone for all the good work!!
Thanks,
Wade

Hi guys,
I tried to figure this all out. I am on a Samsung Note 3 - i317 - Android 4.1.2 - UCAMC3.
I am in Germany from time to time and need to unlock it. I actually talked to AT&T many times, but those morons are not able to unlock it (seriously!!)! The last person I talked to said: "Why don't you just unlock it yourself, there is plenty of help on the internet". So I take that as a permission to root and flash.
However, I rooted it yesterday and I read that to unlock it I need the J3 modem. Now my question is, can I just flash the J3 modem, unlock it and then flash back to UCAM3 / do the latest OTA update afterwards? I have TWRP on the phone.
Is there anything else I need to watch out for? Please give me hints if I am on the right track.
Thanks guys!!
[EDIT] OK, so I just did it! I flashed the J2 Modem and tried the unlock. It worked! Just flashed back my CAMC3 Modem and everything is great. Thanks to those who work hard on getting all this stuff lined up for us dummies!!!
BTW your not on a note 3 lol

Your rooted phone won't get stock updates.
Hi guys,
HAHA ... yeah, of course I meant Note2 ... :silly:
Thanks for the hint that it won't get stock updates. I actually just found that out because I tried to install the OTA update.
So one last question for now:
I just downloaded the newest H3 modem and flashed it with TWRP. My system info now shows:
Baseband version: I317UCAMH3
Build number JZO54K.I317UCAMC3
Is it normal that build and baseband differ? I saw a screenshot somewhere else and the build had the CAMH3 version as well. Did I do something wrong or is that normal?
Thanks guys for all your help!! :good:
Your fine. Build is rom related not modem man.
Sent from my Note 2 using Tapatalk 4
Baseband and firmware generally read the same. ..unless you flash a different setup. ..
Modem or firmware separately from one another. .
The device won't care unless they are not compatible code. ..
Simply verify the files to make sure they are for this device and your good. ..
And of course you should always read the instructions for the files just in case the developer requirements changed for some reason. ..g

you re fine! Baseband has nothign to do with your build number. Build number generally means what rom base you are on. you re good to go. I think everyone is rocking the H3 modem right now and speeds vary depending where you are geographically but the WIFI data speeds are a little faster.
Thanks guys for the feedback!!
It's working great. Really seems to be much faster on WIFI. I didn't do speedtests, but it just feels faster.

Yes. My M919V from Wind (using it on Virgin) got an update this morning. MDC to MDJ now. The firmwares posted on samfirmware are the newer ones that includes today's 18 Mb update.
I didn't notice any difference as of yet. The description only read "Stability Improvements".
Me too I got update on videtron .

Is there any root for our version?
I had my S4 crash on me once so I'm assuming the update fixed that. I'm not sure what caused the crash but it reminded me of the crashes I'd get with AOSP roms on my S3 which shocked me. So far no crash though. TBF, I think that the roots for the TMO work for us as well, however I haven't tried yet either as I'm also waiting for confirmation hehe. :good:
BTW has anyone gotten the unlock for the M919's to work on M919V's? When I dial the code in, it doesnt want to accept it.

4) Stock
I flashed stock ROM with Odin after rooting to return back to stock. Everything is just how it is supposed to be.
Let's get going!
Thanks dj_aj, for root we don't need to go back to old firmware ?
I can confirmed I followed yesterday the method posted in the main Galaxy S4 Genreal forum(not T-mobile one) by looking at your links it look like same steps, and my videotron is unlocked I tried Telus sim of a friend it is working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
For me the only important reason why I want to root and install a custom ROM is to have Pdroid as Apps now days ask for crazy permissions and I want to block that. Is there any Stock Base ROM that include Pdroid or OpenPdroid ? Because otherwise my phone is ultra fast and smooth no need of crazy flashing like I use to do before with my LG lol

Open the phone dialer and press *#2263#.
Then select LTE Band Preference & then LTE All. This will force your phone to only connect to LTE.

No that is not necessary. The new firmware is still rootable with motochopper.

Could you elaborate on how much the battery life has really tanked? Is it down to just a few hours? And how less is it compared to the previous times?
I ask only because even though I initially thought that my battery was draining much quickly on this new firmware, it isn't really so. I'm getting about the same battery life.
Also, at this moment there is no way to downgrade to the previous firmware. The reason being the only stock firmware available to be flashed is the latest one.

You are welcome and no, I did not install any ROMs or custom recoveries. I like the stock touchwiz roms and generally only root to get rid of bloatware & do some minor tweaks.
I assume that all custom roms for the t-mobile sgh-m919 should work on our sgh-m919v variants. But, I have no expertise in this area & if anybody knows more can correct me.
I've updated the main post with links people have posted on here just for good reference. I hope that's okay with the original posters.
Just to confirm that i just rooted my videotron S4 with the link in OP . No need to roll back firmware worked perfectly with latest . Dont forget to turn on unlocked screen as you will be asked to allow root on your phone.

So I dont think its the firmware. Forgive the noobiness. Here's what happened: for two weeks since I bought the phone I have been following the same usage pattern every weekday - full charge with phone off at night, turn on at 8am, an hour of radio streaming and some browsing, gmail syncing sms and sporadic short browsing, repeat hour of streaming/browsing on commute home, some browsing on wifi in the evening. I have all smart features disabled and only syncing my gmail and calendar all in the effort to conserve bbattery.NEway this process would take my battery to about 20% by 11pm. Then last week for 2 consecutive days my battery life plummeted during the day to the point where it was 100% drained by 6pm. I didnt consider whether I had done anything differently on those days but now I know. I tried to send pictures through gmail over the network. With each pic weighing I at approx 3mb gmail was working to send them for hours while draining my battery. It just so happened that this took plafe the day after I installed the upgrade. Lesson here for me is wait for wifi to email pics taken by the fantastic camera on this phone.e
Hi guys I'm new to the forum as yall can prolly tell. I've seen a lot of great info on here and I've got a few questions myself. I did do a search with what I put in the subject of this thread and it only came up with one thread. Now onto the goods.

Now my question is (or one of them lol) will that build number work with the root toolkit? I did see sprint has the 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but neither of those android versions have the build # I have on my phone. Ive been trying to read a lot before I go rooting my phone and couldn't find anything on this. I also did notice that it has an option for if you didn't see your build number (or something like that). I need to know if this tool kit would work and what options will I have to choose when using it? Do I use the option that says my build # is not shown? I can follow directions and am no dummy but am a newb when it comes to computer talk language. So please someone break it down for me. Thank you all very much

This was my second time rooting and installing a ROM on my phone. Whatever I had used originally seemed a bit buggy so I went back to stock. However, this time I wanted to try PACMAN and after installing it I found that I couldn't send picture messages and I no longer had access to 4G data speeds. I didn't know what to do, searched the web for a few days looking for ideas and saw some people saying that maybe I should change my ROM, so I did. I tried Cyanogen Mod 10.1 (I think) and then LiquidSmooth 2.9 (where I am now). None of the changes made anything work. So, now I've seen someone talk about radios, I don't quite understand what they are saying but from what I've gathered there could be a different radio for me to download. If that's the case, I'm not sure how to do it. Also, I was told to try and put the stock software back on the phone and I can't figure out how to do that again either. I probably dug a little too deep being such a noob but I wanted to learn. If anybody could help I'd be greatly appreciative.
Also, if there is any other information you need please let me know. I just copied everything I could find under "About Phone"
Take out battery and reply with the model number of the phone.

This was my second time rooting and installing a ROM on my phone. Whatever I had used originally seemed a bit buggy so I went back to stock. However, this time I wanted to try PACMAN and after installing it I found that I couldn't send picture messages and I no longer had access to 4G data speeds. I didn't know what to do, searched the web for a few days looking for ideas and saw some people saying that maybe I should change my ROM, so I did. I tried Cyanogen Mod 10.1 (I think) and then LiquidSmooth 2.9 (where I am now). None of the changes made anything work. So, now I've seen someone talk about radios, I don't quite understand what they are saying but from what I've gathered there could be a different radio for me to download. If that's the case, I'm not sure how to do it. Also, I was told to try and put the stock software back on the phone and I can't figure out how to do that again either. I probably dug a little too deep being such a noob but I wanted to learn. If anybody could help I'd be greatly appreciative.
Also, if there is any other information you need please let me know. I just copied everything I could find under "About Phone"

It means you need to check your PM inbox! :thumbup:
And when you are done with this, I suggest you read the firmware and modem threads linked in my sig if you want to learn a little more.
