Help! Intermittent Signal - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please, someone out there help me...
6 months ago I gave my brother a new Note 2 LTE which was working without problem. Several weeks later, I rooted it for him and upgraded the ROM to a new version of the official firmware.
After that 'upgrade', he complained of intermittent signal problems. I have recently checked the phone and the signal does regularly disappear.
I therefore performed a full wipe, data, cache, system, preload partition, dalvik etc and installed the official Vodafone N7105XXDMB2_N7105VODDMA2_N7105XXDLL5_HOME.tar from this site.
However, the problem remains.
What else can I do to resolve the problem?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as the phone is currently a door stopper.

Check if your imei is corrupted if not take to service and check as this should be covered under warranty and unroot it first

Hi
Thanks for the response.
I did return it to Samsung in an unrooted state - they responded and said the phone had an unofficial firmware and the warranty was now void.
So Samsung is not an option unless I ask them for a chargeable repair.

Try downgrading the modem to a older one, I had the same problem and use a 4.1.1 version, XALIJ series (baseband XALIB). The newer modems are designed to hold on to LTE signal as much as possible. However you will entirely lose the signal in low reception areas. The older modems will downgrade to a GSM network signal faster and avoid signal loss.

In my case i just downloaded a old firmware from sammobile and used mobile odin to root it.

Thank you for the link.
I have downloaded and installed the firmware XXALIJ with the baseband DXALIB. However the problem remains.
Once the phone rebooted after the installation, the signal is fine for a few minutes then disappears.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I tried the utility. However, I receive the following message when I select Step 3: You don't have .nv_data.bak and his md5 files, canceled.
I have also noticed that as long as the screen is on, my signal is fine. It's only when the screen is off does the signal tend to disappear.
Any ideas?

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?

Can you still see this thread? It says invalid thread specified for me.
I've been looking for this problem for almost a month and almost every xda thread link people post is dead.
Been stuck on Edge for almost a month, so finding these links that supposedly solve everything and then seeing they are not accesible to me is very frustrating. :/

[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] Generic IMEI after OTA 4.3 upgrade

Hello to everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help with this. I have a Galaxy Note 2 branded by an Italian company (3hg Italia). It recently received its update to Android 4.3 (update N7100XXUEML2). It was the official update OTA, the phone is not rooted and it had the stock ROM on it. The update somehow messed up my IMEI making it appear as the generic 0049 forcing me on "Emergency calls only" mode. I already tried flashing the same ROM with Odin and repeating the update with KIES, but while the updates always results successful the IMEI remains 0049. I never made a backup of the EFS folder for this phone since I haven't rooted it or flashed any different ROM on it yet. There is any chance that the phone made an automatic backup? I live in the States right now and Samsung tells me I need to ship it back to Italy to have it fixed, but that costs a lot and would take forever, and I would much prefer try to solve the problem locally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, if not for any fix that I can try myself, at least some place on the West Coast that can fix the problem!
Thank you!
Lorenzo
Oh I forgot to add that because of Hardware problems I recently sent my phone to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard, which fixed the problem I was having. I don't know if that could be related!

At first glance, the EFS data on the phone was corrupt. I re-generated

installed and functional. diagnostic data flows to the towers and back
to the phone but it's not reading the IMEI from the copy of
nv_data.bin contained within EFS. I've re-generated and installed
those files as well, again with no luck.
I rolled the device back to it's original factory firmware and radio
baseband, then ran through the update for the radio baseband, which
also regenerates the contents of EFS, and still no luck.
Given the situation, anyone have other suggestions?

[Q] HELP, Note 2 ATT can not connect to network.

i have Note 2 ATT, i am having network connection problem. i can't connect to my ATT network connection . i get circle with line in middle.
i took my phone to ATT store and they tried changing the Sim card and even updating my phone to the latest update, but it did not work.
i tried downgrading my phone to stock Rom when i downgrade the phone. it seems to work fine for five minutes or so i even made a call after one call it started showing same circle with line in middle. i tried flashing all different Rom, i even tried re flashing MJ4 modem. nothing seems to work.
i research to find a solution but i didn't find any solution to this problem. right now i am on Sky Note Air 4.3.
please help me i appreciate for any help.
EDIT: i flash back to stock Rom 4.3 with rooted MK6 bootloader. just to see if it makes any different on my networking problem. And still have issue with not networking data.

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also make sure you have an APN set. @Bajanman has compiled a list of several AT&T APNs in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110
I had a similar issue and this post helped me.

Also check your SELinux setting.
Once I set mine to permissive all was well.

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Now you are 4.3 stock rooted ???

I'm still confused.....
Reading your first post, ATT flashed your phone to the latest update??? And changed the SIM? And that didn't work?
Why did you leave the store when your phone didn't work?
They told me they can't do nothing about it and the warranty was voided too.

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

Well you have nothing to lose at this point then.
I doubt you will find a canned click next solution.
You will probably have to go the "hacking" route.
Good Luck.
