Getting LTE to work on fido

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

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.

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?

[Q] N7100 Not Registered on Network

I just bought a GT-N7100 (International Note 2) from someone who bought it Taiwan a few weeks ago and when he got home, couldn't use it because he has Verizon. I have AT&T and don't mind not having LTE as I don't use data too much on the go so it was perfect for me. Although I told him I wanted the stock Touchwiz Firmware when I bought it, a MIUI ROM was loaded when I got it. When I inserted my SIM card it worked on the ATT Network and I had no issues for about an hour. I went to Samsung-updates.com to get the stock firmware and reflashed the phone to run Touchwiz.
Well, when I flashed the new/stock Firmware, the boot animation got stuck in a loop and I let it run for a good 30 mins before shutting the phone off doing a factory reset in Recovery Mode. After resetting, the phone booted up and I was able to set everything up and use my wifi at home, but I was unable to connect to any mobile network for phone calls or data (couldn't even call out to ATT customer service). Ever since I tried flashing the stock Firmware (I used ODIN to flash the zip I got from samsung-updates.com) I cannot connect to the AT&T network. It is not an issue with the SIM card as I've tried my wife's SIM with the same issue and my SIM works fine on her phone. I've since tried flashing other ROMs that are both Touchwiz based and CM10 based, including: Alliance ROM, MIUI, CyanogenMod 10, and Paranoid Android. Each ROM has had different APN settings that I have tried to no effect. I've also researched a few APNs that I've entered manually with still no results. The phone does me no good if I can't use it away from my house on a network. PLEASE HELP!!

Are you reffering to network as in data or network inc voice calls as well.

When I check the IMEI, it matches the box and the back of the phone except it has a /01 after it. So it reads 3536.......86 / 01. I'm not sure if that matters at all. But if not then the IMEI is good. The serial number also matches the back of the phone. From all the reading I've done, it's something to do with the EFS Folder but I don't really know where to go from here.

So from this we know your efs is not messed up and you have the correct imei set on the phone efs. From what I read so far you really need to call network operators and ask them by giving your imei number to see why your phone is not getting registered to the network. Do you think it might be blacklisted stolen lost phone?

[Q] No Mobile Network - Not Registering on Network

Background: (beginner level 1) I bought an i317 Note 2 online to use in Canada. Came with 4.1.2 so I did the downgrade to 4.1.1...ALJ2 modem and all to use the free unlock method. I followed the method to the letter and I thought it worked.
Problem: it just doesn't register on the network, it just displays a circle with a line through it where the network bars are supposed to be. I've spent hours, honestly, just searching through several threads and have tried almost all methods I came across to put it to stock and somehow get it to work. I've put in my Rogers sim card and even my friend's sim but same result.
So after months of quietly browsing through XDA and finding the solutions, I am forced to call the seasoned pro's to help me. Again, I've flashed the stock 4.1.1 ROM to put it back to stock and even flashed the modem for it separately and still no luck. The only other thing I suspect could be an EFS issue but I don't know if that is the case, or have the know-how to check and resolve if required. Please help.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Yes, I checked and made sure that the IMEI matches to both the box and the sticker on the back. Also the APN appears for Rogers when I have the sim inserted and I am able to select it as well.

Having imei showing is a good sign

My bad sorry.. didnt see that you bought l317 model. Don't flash the rom above cuz it will automatically flash Rogers modem too. Did you try resetting apn settings to default with your new sim?

Yes - the APN automatically detects from the sim card but to be on the safe side I even created a new entry for Rogers. But I'm not getting any connectivity - no voice or data.

Calling all pro's - please help. I have even tried the method mentioned by this OP and still no luck.

NOW the problem is that its just stuck in Airplane Mode - a little Googlin' leads me to believe that it could be a corrupt EFS issue but I'm not savy enough to check and fix myself.
Guys please help.
Thanks.

Hopefuly its not efs problem cuz I know if you have efs issue you will get that yellow box with hardware info showing once you turn on the phone. You also mention that imei is still good and showing when you enter *#06# its more on enabling data connection with Rogers network.

Yes, the IMEI shows properly and matches to the sticker on the back. Also the baseband (modem) info also shows up correctly. It just remains in Airplane Mode and everytime I attempt to disable it, the phone pretends to be "processing" but the Airplane Mode option greys out - and the airplane mode remains active. I've spent all weekend on this and still no luck - guys I need help to bring my phone back to life. Earlier today I reflashed the 4.1.1 ALJ2 stock file through ODIN and still no change.

Also can someone point/guide me on how to restore the defaults on Service Mode/Menu - I bought it second hand and not sure if the previous owner made any changes trying to unlock the phone. I just want to revert everything back to stock to end with a working phone. Will flashing a stock ROM fix/revert any changes?
(I'm talking about the Service menu that is access using the *#197328640# used to unlock the phone)
Thanks.

Guys - I reflashed the original QCN (not sure if its proper or corrupted) that I got with the phone which has returned the phone to out of airplane mode but now I'm not catching any signal. I backed it up before proceeding to try with a dumbimei qcn with the aws mode thinking that might fix my problem. I'm really dumbfounded and need help. It's been 4 days now and I'm still without a phone...

So left the phone on overnight - woke up today and saw 1 bar and the phone registered on Rogers Network - so the problem now is low signal. I carried the phone around with me covering a variety of areas, especially those where signal should have been high, it still did not go above 2 bars... Please help.

Glad u fixed it and get it going. What modem are you on right now maybe updating modem will boost your signal.

EDIT: solved it by wiping system and then flashing a ROM

Need help with lost unlocked
Hi, I've been trying to read as much as I can to solve my issue but no luck... I'm about to give up but thought someone here might be able to help hopefully!
Here's what happened, I bought an sgh-i317 running on 4.1.1 from someone online the phone worked properly at the time. I purchased an unlocked code from internet put it in everything worked fine. I later found the way to unlocked for free with the *#197.... but I said what the heck its already done... kept on reading got excited and decided to flash 4.1.2 rooted with odin... after that my nightmare began...
First I inserted an ATT sim and got the mm#2 sim not provisioned, then I tried a friends ATT it worked but when he putted back to his iphone he got his phone block so he had to call ATT to make it work again
Whenever I insert a T-Mobile sim or simple mobile I get the phone not allow mm#6
At first I thought the phone has been reported but I called ATT and they say it isn't, then I kept reading and nothing seems to repair this
I even reflashed everything to stock 4.1.1 to try to unlocked it with the *#197... again but it seems to do nothing now
then I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045563
where they say that once you are unlocked you shouldn't flash with odin... I guess I messed up...
My imei matches, the phone has not been reported, whenever I insert a foreign sim car I don't get the network lock screen but the phone not allow mm#6 message
I think that somehow when I updated to 4.1.2 with odin... I either lost or damage my unlock
could someone help?
Thanks in advance

N7105 factory mode

Hi guys, i seriously need help here. Please refer to attached screenshot.
I came here after flashing sokp 4.2.2 rom, and it prompted me an error saying encryption was unsuccessful. After which, i wasnt able to use my phone since then.
I tried to flash stock rom, and I end up with this. Please dont tell me to search the forums because Ive been to them countless times. I suppose this is a efs issue, because baseband and imei are unknown and I do not have a backup for it. Tried with the writing tool for imei, doesnt work as well.
Pls ask me for any info u might need/i missed out to help with this issue.

I think it's in the efs folder, you have to use a root browser and edit factory mode to off instead of on. It's been a long time since I saw factory mode so I'm not 100%

Thanks for your reply. But even if I off factory mode, will the baseband and imei be unknown?

I'm not sure but if it doesn't the 2 things that might be worth trying are, emergency firmware recovery with kies or mskips toolkit has a rescue package but I think you have to go to skipsoft.net now as the thread was closed

It's current value is "OFF"...u have to write "ON"...i know it sounds weird but that is the value. Amd if u don't have any previous back up of EFS then there's nothing u can do at home to bring it back. Same thing happened to mine and i got it repaired from a local shop for cheap...they used z3x box...the problem is my IMEI is correct and network works fine...but everytime i flash a ROM i have to take it to the shop and get the modem patched or else it doesn't connect to network. So go to Samsung service centre and get it fixed by them...they'll charge u more but their fix is permanent.

Alright, it seems like i have a backup of the efs, bt the nv_data.bin file is not included, and i read on other threads that this file is responsible for the imei and all? This backup is dated in aug2013, but it doesnt help in restoring my phone because the efs pro software doesnt see this as a backup file. Im actually looking for one of the thread that actually taught how to edit the nv_data.bin file, but no luck till date.

This thread might help

is it safe to flash the file that is intended for i9300? i dare not do that in case it doesnt work coz is different models.

ok my phone's all fixed up now. If anyone is interested to know, samsung kies original firmware helped.
