Problems with baseband and internal storage - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I stupidly (by accident) attempted flashing a n7100 CM10.1 ROM to my n7105. Basically I soft-bricked the phone but when I used Odin to restore the stock rom my baseband is showing up as unknown and my internal sdcard storage shows up in stock as having 0 bytes.
Anyone have any idea how to recover from this? I have read alot and it seems reflashing the stock rom has helped some people and not others. I even tried a kies restore with no luck
Regards,
Phoenix

Tried that one already with no luck

try just flashing pit file only
then flash pit + stock ROM
does your odin log was showing successful?
have you tried factory reset after flashing?
As well your IMEI is displaying correctly?

Tried pit alone, didnt make any difference.
Followed by PIT + Stock ROM, didnt make any difference.
Always factory default after a flash and it hasnt helped.
Odin did not give me an error either time that I flashed.
IMEI is null/null when using *#06#
Thanks for your help

It seems your efs is corrupt.
Try this. This is your last and best bet

try flashing baseband only
In odin select ROM file for 'Phone' tab instead 'PDA'
OR get modem.tar from here and flash using odin for phone tab

I backed up my existing efs then tried this. Didnt help and the phone got stuck in Factory Mode until I restored the efs image I backed up. I had to change the partition from mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p3 as that is my efs partition.
I suspect you are right and if I could get someone elses efs image then I may have a hope but considering if contains the IMEI I doubt anyone would be willing to do that.

Did you try a complete wipe (data, cache, system, dalvik)? After a fresh install your problem should be solved.

Sorry for the late reply. Does the problem still persist? If so, does the phone still have a valid imei (0049 ... ... is NOT a valid one!). Serial Number differs from 000000...? Do you have a backup of your efs partition?
What about flashing a stock rom with odin????

Sounds like this app messed up your efs folder mate. That's why you're in factory mode. If you didn't have a backup if efs your phone is now a brick. Congratulations. I'm sorry to say it but that's the risk when you go getting apk files from dodgy sources.

You can try to flash a stock rom with 3 md5 files PDA, Modem and CSC, and also you can use Odin 3.07 with Re-partition and Nand Erase All and PIT file to not brick your phone.
So that way I think you can erase everything. Maybe.

Yes you're right but this can format the phone for clean install and he can restore his EFS if possible.

[Q] bricked my note 3 n900t kitkat .PIT file issue

I was going to upgrade to kitkat, and was in the process of just doing a factory wipe using teamwin. The issue is, I was a work doing this at my desk and trying to just breeze through it and deleted the OS. I have all of the files I need to throw kitkat on it, but the .PIT file. I was reading some of the forum posts and I came across one where someone was running into a similar download mode issue using Odin and was able to get his note 3 to work again after adding in the PIT file. My issue is, Ive scoured for my particular PIT file, but to no avail. can someone please help. Thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:
According to your post, all you did was format the system in TWRP? Do you still have TWRP installed? If so, you can just flash another rom. Otherwise, have you tried just flashing the stock tar file in Odin? I'm assuming I'm missing a big detail, as to why you went from wiping the system in recovery, to having a bigger issue.

That worked. I just flashed a new ROM. I was over complicating it. What happened is i was manually selecting wipe criteria and checked the box for the OS to wipe with the cache and such. When i was going through the process before it was giving me a partition error.
Thanks for the help =)

You wipe and then flash? And you using odin on the pc and not the mobile one right?

Yes I use odin 3.09 on pc, instead of wipe I use Format on twpr2 for n900t, then installed stock rom, then back into stock recovery and wiped and nothing, no sensors works ever since kitkat was first installed on this device. . [emoji20]

I'm to to sure on the format option. I know on another phone it screws things up badly.
The best I can say is use odin 3.07 and flash the tar update. .
It will remove root but your be able to use the app to get it back.
Ill try that, thanks

I think i deleted some internal files, can anyone please share internal files that involve the sensors for Tmobile Note 3 N900T
Your file system may have gotten corrupted. I had a weird situation once that I just couldn't resolve, no matter how many times I ODIN'd stock ROM/firmware. The answer for me was to rebuild the EFS file system, as outlined in this thread, the second half of the OP.

I did the twrp terminal one, factory reset and nothing, also did odin nf1 and nothing
My problem is i deleted some internal files non rom related
Well, this might a time for T-Mo store visit. ODIN to stock, take it in, and see if they have any kind of wipe/reset procedure. If EFS reset didn't work, I'm all out of advice. )) Sorry.

[Q] unable to mount data [solved]

So in TWRP i wiped everything but my external sd card, now i'm getting an error :
E: Unable to mount '/data'
and occasionally E: Unable to mount '/cache' .
Tried searching forums but only got solutions for xperia phones but not for my Samsung note 2 - GT n7100.
So please help guys, kinda really need my phone!!
Also I have already tried re flashing rom etc etc, nothing worked so far. Read somewhere you can solve this with repartitioning with .pit file in odin, but can hardbrick you phone if not done right. SO please some suggestions as of what should i do.

Correct way to flash the PIT file is only if it is flashed together with the stock firmware. Firmware under PDA, pit file under PIT and re-partition checked.

Fortunately solved it now without having to use PIT file. Ty anyways.

Did nothing special with fixing it tbh. At first, before I posted this thread, I have already tried flashing stock rom through odin and it didn't work. Tried flashing some more so called fixes I found on the internet and tried a few different recoveries.
Well after a while I figured maybe another rom would work so I downloaded another stock note 2 rom from sammobile, which then fixed everything after I flashed through odin. So my guess is the stock rom which I tried before obviously wasn't working properly (can't remember which one it was sadly).

There's a stock tar thread in general forum with md5 to verify against the downloaded zip. If you have a download that you can verify md5 for then use it verified good.
Once you verify the md5, extract the tar.md5 by opening the archive and dragging tar.md5 to Odin folder. Flash that in latest Odin with Odin defaults.
You should backup keepsakes, wipe everything but extSdCard, factory reset and format data partition and then power down your phone and pull battery before Odin. Let it auto boot and go through the setup wizard. If you're not Sprint, I'm not sure what you do but maybe just a data zip flash in recovery and deleting the Sprint activation application is all that is required. Dunno because I'm on Sprint, myself.
If you're downgrading from Marshmallow, there's been recent reports of having to factory reset in stock recovery after flashing stock tar. For those reporting that, they reported phone not booting after tar flash. I've downgraded with success but factory reset and wipe internal memory and used bootloader and TWRP backup to restore. Wasn't a problem.
It's also been reported in Nexus forum that efs partition shouldn't be restored. I don't think this works for Note 4 either. Don't restore efs partition.

Which stock tar are you trying to update to? Did you verify the md5?
Does the flash complete without error?
Are you managing any connection to your carrier? Could be hardware failure or a corrupt partition. I've seen suggestions to use a tar with PIT included. For Android 5.1, that would be OG5 stock tar. For Android 6, PC1 has PIT. Have you tried either of those?

efs fail
i have this Problem same you and i have collect 4 N910P efs.img user please add my facebook name(cai fa Hork)
I haven't had this issue. I don't know if the thread below is relevant for Note 4 but if you don't have a backup try the easy fix first (CM):
Some in the thread have noted that flashing CM nightly resolved this issue for them.
