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?

Last week, I did the most stupid thing on my note 2 (SGH-t889). I saw a rom that i liked for the n7100 and flashed on my 889v. Of course, rom works fine but no DATA OR VOICE :crying:crying:
So I flashed my phone with my previous rom and I had data again. All of a sudden, after installing all my apps, I lost the connection. My phone went completely crazy
i saw unknown baseband on settings / phone status; phone rebooted itself. I tried to flash a stock rom, or even flash the 889v modem on any rom and no luck; i was on a constant boot loop
I had to flash another modem from T-Mobile to get out of boot looping (MODEM: T889UVALL4_Modem-Jan_16_13-teshxx) but i couldn't get on any network even if I my phone could detect them (I'm on Videotron).
I've searched xda and other sitEs for solution on how to fix an almost empty esf folder. On a tmo modem my emei was 0 0 and on videotron modem it was null.
SOLUTION
My efs folder was almost empty; no nv_data.bin and those other files.
I went across this site

It's a tutorial on how to enable aws on the AT&T note 2. It had just what i needed: a qcn file. Ive follwed the directions on the site; flashed the qcn file with the QPST software and rebooted the phone. My emei was a bunch of 0. No signal still but the battle wasn't loss.

Wow. I followed your steps to the letter and it worked, thank you so much!!
Have you flashed back to a VTR modem or would that mess everything up? Thanks again for your help.
From past experience flashing the videotron modem would bring me back to boot loop, wouldnt lose imei or signal but would start then after 30secs reboot.. Im stuck with tmo modem. Works fine but signal seems a little weaker.
i have canadian note2 t889v that i got from craigs the other day. everything seemed fine, didnt have sim to try for mobilicity that im on (aws band), he said he used it with rogers fine
I put the sim card, went to search networks but my provider was not listed there. So I rooted the phone , loaded twrp, flashed prerooted factory rom for t889v ( from mrrobins) , no network, than i flashed original factory rom, still no luck, than i flashed t889v modem and still the same.
My imei is present, and matches one on back of the phone. My efs folder is there and is populated (dont know if anything is missing from there)
I dont have backup of efs or imei. What are the chances it is corrupted ? Does anyone have any suggestion, and should i try this method to try to fix it ?
You may have to put your apn settings manually for your carrier. I would try that to start.

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.

*#06# to see if your imei is correct and not reverted to generic. Compare the imei displayed to the box or back of the device

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?

Hi will this work on 4.4? If not could you help me? Because I can't connect my N7100 to ATT ugh
Hi guys,
I am writing this post requesting help with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone which is rooted and is on T-Mobile UK.
Background/Problem:
After having my phone rooted watching a youtube video I then went onto put a leaked 4.2.2 ROM published by androidgalaxy.cu.cc without doing any cache/dalvik cache/data wipe - I used Odin for flashing. The ROM was working ok except few problems such as the Messaging app wouldn't load at all. After a bit of research much later, I realised it was due to not performing necessary wipes during flashing. I then decided to flash CyanogenMod 10.1 using ROM Manager and again I did not wipe anything. I was completely unaware of the necessity of doing wipes to avoid ROM malfunctioning. As expected after flashing, CyanogenMod wouldn't load and stuck at the boot lopp (on the screen where a glow goes around in circle). I did a wipe and re-flashed and it worked this time but I noticed that there was no mobile network. I read on some forum post that loading a stock rom might help and went ahead and flashed Stock Deodexed T999UVDMD5 ROM hoping it might help, but to no avail. Everything else seems fine but no way can I get the mobile network working. I have since taken my SIM out and tried it on an old HTC Wildfire S to make phone calls and send messages. I have come across IMEI number being missing and EFS (I am not sure what it is) being corrupt and I can identify my situation to be one of them. Upon dialing *#06# I get null/null instead of a proper IMEI number. Following are some of observations from my phone from the Settings:
*Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks - Insert SIM card to access network services message pops up
*Settings>About Device>Baseband Version - Unknown
*Settings>About Device>Status>Network - Unknown
*Settings>About Device>Status>Mobile Network Type - Unknown
*Settings>About Device>Status>Service state - Out of service
*Settings>About Device>Status>Roaming - Not roaming
*Settings>About Device>Status>Mobile network state - Disconnected
*Settings>About Device>Status>My phone number - Unknown
*Settings>About Device>Status>IMEI - Unknown
*Settings>About Device>Status>IMEI SV - Unknown
*Settings>About Device>Status>Device Status - Custom
I am sorry about bombarding you with so much information, I tried to provide as much info as possible.
I will be very grateful if any of you guys out there could help me out to solve this problem. Thanks a lot!
You're running the SGH-T999 device, right? Make you're you're doing that first.
The best u can tell you is to Odin a stock firmware. Going from 4.2.2 to 4.1.1 ROM's will more than likely give you issues. It's best to Odin so you get a fresh start and avoid any issues.
I highly recommend to use the app Andromizer to make a backup of your IMEI. Sometimes flashing different ROM's can cause you to lose your IMEI. So this will backup it up and restore it when you do lose it easily.
This link may help you.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
Yes, since I am using the T Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 so I assume it is the SGH T999.
If I have understood you correctly.. you suggest I flashed a 4.1.1 ROM using Odin? Will that possibly solve the mobile network issue?
Regarding backing up the IMEI, I will definitely do that once the issue is solved, in case I want to flash another ROM next time.
Thanks.
Sorry, I have been very stupid in assuming that it is SGH T999. I just checked on the settings and the Model Number is GT-I9300.
So could it be that the network problem arose because the ROM I flashed was only meant for SGH T999?
