Hello guys, I'm pretty new to cellphone ROM flashing and modifying.
I successfully flashed the Jedi X7.2 on to my Mobilicity Note 2 T889V, and with a little effort I even flashed the Rogers modem on to it and fully enabled 4G/LTE service since I use Fido, they pretty much share the same frequency.
Then I tried the Bullet Kernel 1.9.01b made by cmenard on top of the Jedi x7.2, which then I lost my data, no 2G, 3G, 4G at all.
So I went ahead and tried to flash back to Jedi with all the wipe data/factory restore and everything, still no luck.
I also formatted the entire sdcard directory, trying to start from fresh, with some other types of ROMs such as MyRom and so on. Now my phone even keeps restarting every minute or so.
After a while I started to become frustrated, it was perfect if I've stopped when I got the 4G, any suggestions? I really really appreciate any input on this problem. Thanks a ton

OMFG, punctuate. My crypto devices can't decipher the longest run-on sentence in history!
To the OP, I would odin the original stock image back onto your phone. Then, update to the latest update via keis or OTA. At this point, you are at least functioning again. THEN, maybe try out Jedi.
Side note, why did you try the new kernal in the first place?

Your posts are really really bad. Not to insult you. But ive read some of them and also you give bad advice and frequently dont really know what you are doing yet you give advice to people. ...this is not good.
OP you lost your data possibly because you did not remove the t889 modem from the firmware that you flashed? Does jedi come with the t889 modem....or t889v modem? What about imei number....do you still have that?

I'm pretty sure that Jedi X has the saber kernal built in...no need to flash a kernel. The developer is packing it with the ROM because it is not ready to be a stand alone kernel in his opinion (last i read anyways)
I'm on Jedi X and I didnt have to do anything to the kernel and my data works fine (minus MMS)
Hes using CANADIAN T889V
dont you think that has something to do with it?

Thanks guys for the advice. The Jedi was actually working great, and the Bullet kernel is nothing wrong either, it's just the Bullet kernel I added in on top of the Jedi that screw things up.
Mine is the T889V, the Canadian version of T889, so according to some posts the developers made here the only difference is the modem, and that's why the Jedi ROM has a T889V modem patch.
However, as I mentioned, I unlocked the phone and I'm with Fido right now, and Fido uses Rogers' transmitting towers so I flashed the modem of SGH-i317M to get the 4G LTE frequency for Fido and I actually succeeded.
I'll try something out, thanks guys again.
Any other suggestions are very very welcomed!
I got your PM, but this sort of question is better discussed in-thread.
Let's backtrack a little here...
So you've got a T889V flashed with an I317M modem, on Fido, does service work on it currently? What about your IMEI?
Are your drivers correct? You should be seeing one and probably two serial ports appear in the Windows device manager.
Did you try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable after changing to DM mode?

Thanking for getting back to me, really appreciated.
To answer your questions:
- Yes the I317M Rogers' modem did work until I flashed a custom kernel on top of the Jedi ROM
- After the kernel flashing my mobile data was gone, and the IMEI became 0
- My drivers are the newest samsung 1.5.9.0 USB Driver for Mobile Phones
- Yes I did disconnect the device before changing it to the DM+MODEM+ADB mode.

your issues is running a modem that is not compatible with the modules you flashed when you flashed the kernel.
this is why it is a good idea to just run things that are built for your device and your device only. you might have to odin back to stock to get your device working again. you should check your settings>about device> and see if your IMEI is still there.... i would suggest sticking with t mo builds in the future if you are not quite sure what you are doing. blindly flashing things without doing some careful reading can be a recipe for a bricked device or permanently lost data/device ID

Yes I can, and it can connect too with QPST, just thar it will show "No Phone" and not be able to read/write anything to the phone.
Try rndis + dm + modem, and make sure Kies isn't interfering?
Beyond that I'm not too sure. What exact drivers load for the ports?

NEW INFO ON THIS UNLOCK!!!
After finding and having someone test it. It was confirmed working. :thumbup:
All you have to do is downgrade you modem/radio, even if your on 4.1.2! After the downgrade it should give you option 4 if it's missing from the unlock menu!!
Hope this helps with trying to get your device unlock. It's much easier to flash a modem/radio, than it is a Rom...
So now no more having to downgrade to 4.1.1 firmware. Unless the modem downgrade didn't work for you. Which in turn should work!!!

Hi guys, you can unlock you N7105 via the Samsung hidden menu. [Also works with N7100 and some Galaxy S3 (SIII) variants - NOT ALL]
#############################################
I can confirm the unlock survives ROM flashing
#############################################
Before doing the instructions below, please double check your phone that it is actually LOCKED by inserting a sim card from a different carrier/provider...you may or may not leave that sim card on the phone while unlocking
Quote:
Unlock your N7105:
Note: your phone must be running at least Jelly Bean 4.1 otherwise some of the menu choices are not present
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#
Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone... enjoy!!! There is no confirmation on the phone that the unlock was successfull.... just reboot your phone....
To test, just insert a sim card from a different carrier/provider. If the new sim card works then your phone is now unlocked.
I have done this to my other Note 2 N7105 originally locked to Orange.....
If your missing the option 4 from the menu, then Go backnto an earlier 4.1.1 on the t mobile version i did cuz the newest didnt show option 4
Try novembers releas that worked foe me http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1969551
========================================
Do this procedure AT YOUR OWN RISK
========================================
To those who were able to unlock their phone with the method above, can you please post in the thread and let us know which phone model (N7100 or N7105) you have, Country and Network/Carrier your phone was locked to...... and if I have saved you some cash, please click the Thanks button or the Donate button on the left just below my name to buy me a can/bottle of Heinekken, Quilmes, Budweiser, Fosters, Tiger, Stella Artois, or San Miguel ...
========================================
NOTICE:
Can comfirm working flawlessly on my Note2 and At&T S3..

Worked on my USA T-Mobile running Jedi-XX, BUT I had to do one more step. After I booted and tried another (AT&T) SIM then shutdown and put my T-Mobile sim back in, it booted with the text "SAFE MODE" in the lower left corner. This made me think that leaving the SHA256 off may be the issue, so I went back into the network lock menu, turned the SHA256 back on, checked it was on with SHA256 INFO, then rebooted. Now I can swap AT&T and T-Mobile without safe mode.
OOPS - might not be an issue. I researched and found that Safe Mode is booting with all downloaded apps disabled, and to get into it you continuously tap the menu key during bootup. Reboot to get out of safe mode.
In either case turning the SHA256 back on didnt seem to hurt the unlock.

This method worked, but I was using VALL4 modem, so I flashed VALK8 first, perform the unlock, reboot, confirmed that I can used different SIM, then flashed VALL4 again, confirmed that phone is still unlocked.

Ok if you tried it and all of the menu setting was not there you may have to downgrade back to 4.1.1. In order to get all the menu setting there needed to unlock the device.

Well I just unlocked my buddies TMO note 2. Just by downgrading to the first software release that the phone came out with. And all the options were there. Then flashed a custom Rom after that. He's as happy as a kid in a candy store w/a pocket of money. lol
Everything is good now.

You have to b careful on what you hit when your in that menu.. If your trying to unlock your phone! If you have a back up on your SD card you can just restore that so you can have service till u get home..

What exactly did you hit on that menu, when you were trying to unlock it #1?
And when u tried to restore it, did you wipe both caches C/D? #2
But just to let you know, you have nothing to worry about! Because you can Odin back to stock when u get home. Was just trying to get you back up and running right away!..
But I'm thinking you hit something in there that changed your signal setting out the radio! I'm going to go into the setting and see if there's a default setting you can revert back to!

Hello,
Obviously from my posts I'm new posting, however, I've been reading the forums for a while now and have been a huge fan at the massive support of devs and other helpful people. My question, and I've tried searching hi and lo on this site and others to get an answer:
I rooted my phone about 2 months ago and kept ROM, kernel, etc. stock until about 1 month ago when I flashed CM 10.1. Everything was awesome, loved the layout and the customization of the ROM. About 2 weeks ago, I lost 4G/H+ coverage, and voice service was sometimes spottier than usual. Wifi was and is still fine, but anytime I left and wifi network, I was immediately given EDGE speeds. I ran speedtest.net and the display is accurate.
I tried searching a couple of sites and I read that flashing a different ROM could fix the issue. I flashed Wicked which again was a great layout, but didn't fix the 4G issue. Lastly, today I followed an unroot thread and unrooted my phone. I didn't reset my counter with triangle away because I didn't think that was an issue in the lack of 4G. And I didn't want to dig myself any deeper on possibly bricking my phone. So now, my phone is stock (minus the counter) with ROM, kernel, and recovery. Any tips or suggestions?
Something to note: When I tried flashing CM10.1 the very first time, I received an error 7 message on CWM recovery. After reading a couple of posts on here, it looked like the workaround was to remove the first line of code on the updater-script file in the zip. Doing so made the ROM flash without any hiccups. Or were there?
Again thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post.

Its not really bad, but its not great. It means you lost your imei, it just happens randomly when flashing a ROM (no one knows why, it just rarely happens). Its not the ROMs fault, it just happens.
If you haven't made a backup of your imei, then you'll have to restore/inject the imei so that you can use 4g again. I'll have to look for the threads that explain how to do that and I'll post them for you.

Awesome! Glad you got it working again.
Next thing is to create s n on-device backup of your nv data. This should only need to be done once, as you can't delete or overwrite it with common methods. It is also preventative so you shouldn't ever see this issue again.
Two methods
1. Install Andromizer and backup nv data
2. Install and open Terminal Emulator and enter this:
su
reboot nvbackup
That's it. Your phone will reboot and create the back up. If you do ever need to restore just enter this:
su
reboot nvrestore
Note: you cannot make copies of this as its stored across several partitions that are not easily accessible.

What were the "couple more things"? My IMEI was wiped when I installed CWM and I had no signal showing at all. I have restored my IMEI and it now connects to Edge but it does not connect to 4G as it did. My wife's phone still gets a good 4G connection so I think it is the phone. I have tried wiping it, installing Cyanogen and have now reverted to Samsung factory UVDMD5. Everything about the phone seems to work great except it has no 4G. Tried changing APN type and forcing WCDMA -- no luck
Thanks!

Low 2g and 3g but no 4g
I also can never get 4G in the metro. Even right next to somebody with the exact same phone and same T-mobile service who gets it fine.. I had flashed Synergy ROM and now S3Rx (stock kernel) but no improvement. My IMEI is valid, the Mobile Network type is shown as: GPRS:1. It shows the APN as T-Mobile USA (epc.tmobile.com). Baseband version is: T999UVDMD5.
I don't know anything else to check. Sure would like some ideas.
Test with someone else's SIM card. Or call T-Mobile as it sounds like it may be an account issue. Odin back to stock. If it still continues, it could also be hardware.

Hello Doc, I tried to pm you, but never received a reply, maybe my message is blocked.
I hope you can help me find cure for my phone!
After regular update of CM 10.2. using CWM my phone stopped connecting to 3g and 4g, I checked with T-Mobile and no problems on their end. I thought it was a failed upgrade reinstalled CM 10.2, didn't help. Then I totally reformatted Internal Storage and Installed LiquidSmooth 2.3.7, same thing, only EDGE data. Then I thought maybe I have to unroot and go back to Stock, and this time unrooted, upgraded baseband to the latest version, then installed Stock JB 4.3 but it didn't fix my problem. Then I came across this info about missing IMEIs, and there it was IMEI was showing Unknown at one point and now it is showing 0. I tried to follow some guides about nv_data.bin but my EFS folder doesn't seem to contain that file, it actually doesn't have more than that when compared to other user's screenshots.
At this point I rooted my phone again using TWRP with SU and De-knox and installed CM 10.2.0. Still EDGE only and IMEI showing 0.
Please, help! I can email screenshot of About Phone Status Page and EFS folder if you need.
Thanks!

I just purchased a T999 on eBay with this same problem. When I got the phone, it had CM installed on it and had no IMEI (IMEI=0). I put it back to stock 4.1.2, still no IMEI. I did IMEI repair using Z3X box which worked, now IMEI is normal. Problem is that it always stays on EDGE network. I'm sure this is something to to with the phone and not something else. I have a couple of other T999's available to use to test SIM card, location, etc. and all other T999's I've tried work just fine. Only this one that I had to restore IMEI.
Can you please give me some advice?
NO matter what Rom I put on after this happens there is no network,,wireless works fine and so does the roms. Right after I rommed the ASOP latest nightly I called to make sure it was working fine and it was..Let ggogle put all my applications on and update them and went to bed,..When I woke up there was no network...So i used recovery and used 3 or 4 of my backups but none of them solved the network problem. I opened up backups to see if there was a file missing and I cant find any...Im willing to send some $ if someone can help me. By the way this has happened 3 times before but all sprint guys do is get me another phone and Im afraid thats going to be stopping soon..I just need to find out why this is happening so it doesnt happen again..thanks

Sounds like a problem i had before. It is your baseband version. To fix you need to flash a stock/ish rom. In dialer do ##786# it will reset everything. Once you perform hands free activation you should be back up and running. After that make sure you flash a good mc2 baseband. After that you should be fine.
Quick question. You are on sprint and only flashing roms for the sprint phone? I have this happen when working on a couple ports from other note 2 variants.

yes only l900 roms on my sprint phone..Last time it was macksrom 5.0 it happened on....I dont think it has anything to do with the flashing or which rom it is some application i have put on from the play store thats causing it..Im a noobie here so please bear with me..Last time this happened I flashed a stock l900 rom and did the reset thing you are talking about but it wouldnt go through..can you be more specific about the rom and what/how this baseband is installed..Ive beed using phils recovery but im familliar with the odin method..what line do you put it on the odin 3.07???
I will get on pc later and do you a full writeup with links.

Steps to hopefully fix your issues. Read through and download and copy all links to external sdcard before starting.
1. Perform a backup of everything (rom, internal sdcard)
2. Flash this twrp file from your current recovery http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0ltespr.img
3. Under reboot options choose reboot recovery
4. Now in twrp choose wipe/format and select data, system, cache, and internal scard (/data/media)
5. Go back and select the data wipe option then type yes
6. When done go to reboot menu and reboot recovery
7. Now install Billards back to stock mc2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 but do not reboot and do not wipe anything
8. Now install this to gain root (do not use twrp's root option) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1584076&d=1356201390
9. Now you can reboot. The red light will come on and phone will display weird stuff then reboot.
10. Now it will take some time to boot but you will be on stock mc2 with everything updated to latest mc2 setting.
11. Dial ##786# phone will reboot
12. Dial ##"your msl"# and change both number sets to 10 0's once done phone will reboot
13. Do Hands free activation. If that does not work dial *228 and let that run if phone does not reboot reboot it yourself.
Now if everything went according to plan you should now have full service. Since this updated everything to factory stock mc2 you will need to install a custom recovery again. Also the mc2 baseband provided with the rom has always been stable to for me. Since I am flashed to cricket I had to reflash the phone everytime this happened to me but thankfully I flash it myself so it was easy.

If the method above doesn't work do you happen to have a backup of your nv items or your efs partitions?

Do have IMEI under about phone/status? Does it display your number or anything?
Sounds like you need to Odin flash a stock firmware with tz, param and modem..With a pit file so it flashes to the correct partition..
I'm on Verizon and this happened to me..lost everything under status..I flashed what I stated above and it fixed everything. .
If that doesn't work flash your KIES image and after re root and unlock your phone:thumbup:

the phone is only 2 week old with the latest kit-kat installed from them..I think I read somewhere that if you go backwards to and older rom like mk2 it screws the phone up because of the knox??? anyway yes I flashed it but honestly Ive done so many things ,so many times,,,every modem, mk2, mk4, rooted , unrooted , different recovery...I even got the note 2 toolkit updated donated version...nothing is working,perhaps the order in which i do these things may be off but when the phone is supposed to reboot it doesnt , when its supposed to show a number it doesnt..actually the more I do to it the worse it gets..It will go into recovery and odin mode, but some of the things that were sure fire arent even working...Yes as long as still have the phone i would try it can you send me a link for those files..thanks
Ok, I realize that there are a billion posts about this but none have worked.Here is what I did to make it poof away, I flashed a n7100 radio/modem (trying something i knew wouldn't work) thinking that I had a backup so no big deal if it didn't work right. I did this on purpose because of my backup, which apparently does not help radio/modem dismemberment. I still have imei NULL/NULL. I made a backup of my EFS using TWRP/EFS.apk and had no luck when restoring. Here is the info about the note 2 and everything I have tried.
Stock Rom - Baseband unknown - kernel 3.0.31-2085660 - build number jss15j.t889uvucmk7. se android status - enforcing sepf_sgh-t889_4.3_0010
-I have Flashed several stock recovery images/modems/kernels - Phone boots but no imei.
-I have tried to use NV reader writer and that did not work.
-I have flashed modded kernels/modems/roms to no avail.
-I have tried everything I have been reading on the internet, every fix I have read has done nothing.
-I tried every little *# code to help, and nothing worked.
-I tried wiping everything (data, factory reset, cache, everything!)
It seems so simple, am I missing something?? Is there anyway to completely wipe my phone as in rom/kernel/modem, everything to start completely new again? I'm thinking I may be done for. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have tried both, samsung kies does not recognize my phone even with drivers. And the other way does not seem to affect my imei, also I have flashed the latest stock rom. Thank you for the link to the kies instructions I'll have to see if I can get it to connect when I'm home.

Still no luck with kies, just says t889 does not support initializing. ive tried uninstalling and re-installing. Taking firewall down, getting rid of antivirus, trying different pc, and different usb ports. no luck. no one has gone through exactly what i am?
My situation was a little different, I flashed a i317 modem on my 889v in order to get lte ( was a year ago). Rebooted had null imei, basically my repair was with nv reader writer, if I remember correctly I had a blank nv.bin file and entered my imei ( there was some procedure to input the imei) then used the writer. There was another guy back then Darkshadow who went through the same thing with success. Good luck

Kies just tells me that it cannot recognize my phone, or it doesn't support initializing if you don't mind me asking. Is there anyway you could link me to the rom, kernel, modem you have on you phone to get it to connect, or what exactly you had to do to get it to connect?

if you have unknown or Null IMEI installing a rom wont fix it.
1) click on this link and download the drivers first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
2) Download and install kies from this URL: http://www.samsung.com/in/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
3) power down your device, once its off, hold down the volume button down - home button - power button, hold all three at the same time. Should ask you to confirm enter to download mode.
4( Launch kies and do not plugin your device until it says so
5) Once in kies go to the menu and bar and click on "tools" option and choose "Firmware upgrade and initialization
6) Enter your model number, IE SGH-T889
7) Enter serial number, can be found back of the box or under the battery
8),follow the on screen prompts to connect your device and restore it.
9) once its done installing and booted up you should have your signal back.
Good luck hope it works for you.

Thank you for the in detail explaining of how to do this, it was kind of confusing. The only thing I have an issue with doing that is I don't have my box, and my s/n isn't under the bar code. In settings it gives me a serial number but after putting that in, it stays on connecting normally. But I will try again in an hour or so and update you when I try what you said exactly.

No worries, just hit that thanks button. I had this happen to me before and I didnt even know this option was possible. So i had to swap out my device and then just a few days ago a rom went crazy and wiped it out again. I had a backup plan and it failed. Then i came across a similar thread with this procedure and I tried it and it worked like a charm. Glad it worked out, happy flashing

When i get to step 6. After inserting SGH-T889, it says "Please check the model name and enter it"
Thanks for the info and help, I had to just swap the device out when I had it, now I have a note 4 and depending if they keep Micro SD support I might own the Note 5
I used a different procedure as explained below & it worked.
1. Removed SD Card from phone.
2. @cwm recovery mod i Wiped davlik cache under advanced.
3. @cwm recovery mod i Formated all mounts.
4. @cwm recovery mod i Wiped cache partition.
5. @cwm recovery mod i wiped data/factory reset
6. @odin i activated Nand erase all.
7. Flashed the stock firmware 4.1.1,
After all that everything was back to factory settings except IMEI now turned to 0/00.
8. Used NV Items Reader-_Writer v1.0 to write the imei back to its normal state.
