[Q] EFS lost after installing Phoenix ROM...Help! - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I am new to Samsung galaxy note 2( But not to custom ROMS) ... Wanted to install Phoenix ROM but didnt release there would be a thing called EFS backup. I think I screwed up my Note 2 now. Installed a european version of Samsung rom,but my sim is still not being identified . I am getting a different IMEI number than the one mentioned below the battery. Is there a way to fix this? If I Install the latest Indian ROM would that resolve the issue? Please let me know! I need this phone like hell!

look for some thread by a user called drkeaton in the same forum section I think it's heading is along these lines ROOT GUIDE TO NOTE II FLASHING or RECOVERING IMEI just along these lines it's a very nice guide or just contact him via private message and he may send you the web link directly don't do anything stupid before you go through his guide else you may loose your phone calling section and data connection capability forever

porting note 3 to note 2

can this be done using the a flashable note 3 rom ?
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880932541
Well i am not developer
But.i really wonder that what happens if note 3 rom flashed to note 2..
The leaked rom of 4.3 of note 2 has old kernel. So note applications are falling when its ported.probably because of old kernel.
But my question is what happens if note 3 rome is directly flashed to note 2..

I'm also not a dev. And I wondered that too. Then I thought... if that was even possible someone would have already done it by now, right? Still, maybe we all wait for someone to try it... So, feeling courageous? Go ahead and let us know if that worked. But don't blame me if u get ur device bricked or something.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Obviously you can't flash the note3 rom to note2 without modifying it. If it would even flash, your device would get bricked by the note3 kernel.
In the end, this is a question/answer thread. Please someone move it to the proper section or close it. No development going on here.

Ok, I actually have been trying to port a N3 ROM over to N2 with no success. I have very limited time, a crashed hard disk and no Internet at home. If anyone is interested, I can upload (in maybe a few days - no net at home ) a half-baked port that just about gives the N3 boot sound and gets stuck at the Samsung text boot animation. I haven't gotten a logcat from it too, so its more like shooting in the dark.
Even if you are not interested in my half-baked port and want to start afresh, note that the /system partition's size in the N3 is pretty different. You'll either have to try a .PIT that gives you ~3GB to the /system or go my way of chopping down on the /system's contents to fit it to N2's default partitions...
I tried flashing ROMs based on the leak, and my Note 2 gets as far as the boot screen, where it starts to vibrate in a Morse code type pattern. I'm thinking combining one of the ROMs with a different kernel will get something started...

After you get stuck in the repeated vibrating pattern, reboot to recovery and head to /data/logs - pull the latest tar log (by UTC time) and go through the txt it contains - you will have the kernel log, logcat and all that you need to debug.
My mistake was I downloaded an incomplete dump that is missing part of the framework. Will try again with a different base when I get the time.
Awesome! So even after a battery pull, this information will still show on the log? A battery pull is my only way out after this happens. I'll give it a try!

I need to add that I'm using a T-Mobile Note 2 (SGH-T889).
I do think that it's nearly impossinle, dur to the difference in resolution and width between N2 and N3 even if it boots up it will look distorded, and also is the N2 missing sensors that the N3 has..
some of the apk's are working on the leaked 4.3 firmware, i think u should help in getting the air command working properly, it's working but no icons, the thread is over in the apps section

That is not a problem. We have seen ports from different resolutions in the past. We may have to change the resolution of png files in the drawables for some apk.
That said - and this is for all members - THIS IS A DEV DISCUSSION. UNLESS YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO PORT THE ROM OR DO SOME DEV STUFF, PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE. USE THE GENERAL FORM INSTEAD. Hope you understand the importance of keeping a dev thread uncluttered.
@sabrdawg - yes, you pull the logs after battery pull (or holding down power-vol up-home to reboot into recovery. And I am using the N7100 leaked 4.3 as a base and N9005 stock to port. I am not sure if the T889 will work with the N7100's firmware - if it does not and if you cannot get the 4.3 leak to work on your phone you should hold back (unless you first port the N7100's leak to your device).
My porting attempts or on hold. The base ROM I picked (n a whole bunch of them I checked) are having problems with missing files in the framework. I have used up my monthly internet quota in my 3G and also the add-on pack's quota (and do not have internet at home ). Whoever is attempting a port, please download a full ROM from sammobile(say, SM-N9005 - UK or Singapore for example) extract it and deodex it to use as a base for porting to our device (Read up this link under "CONVERSION OF STOCK TAR.MD5 LEAK TO CWM FLASHABLE FOR NEW AND UPCOMING DEVELOPERS" (towards the bottom 3/4th of the page) if you are not sure how to go about it. Finally here is a good guide about porting.
Note that it would be helpful if you have some experience in porting, debugging using logcat and other logs. In any case, if you are not at least knee deep into Linux, Android and generally some technical affinity, you should not be attempting this. All the best. I will give it a shot if I can whenever I get some internet connection I can use to download the ~1.5GB stock ROM.
Maybe you can use a custom rom based on the leak for note 2...and a custom rom based on the official android 4.3 for note 3 and try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957219
I dont have the note 2...or the note 3 to try this. But Im thinking maybe you can use wannamlite based on the leak fot note 2 and a wannamlite for note 3 (I really dont know if there is one).
Im not a dev but I use this metod to port some roms for my atrix and works ok.
So, in other words, one could take any 4.3 ROM out there for the T-Mobile Note 2, and any ROM based on the Samsung leak and do this?

I dont know....I made this for my atrix using cm7 roms and works ok...maybe this can be done in this case...I use some cm7 rom from the Motorola Photon (similar to the atrix but bigger screen) and a cm7 rom for the atrix....everything works ok.
Maybe someone can try that...I dont have the note 2...so...I cant do it

Hi, I am looking for any assistance. I am new to customizing. I rooted my phone through odin (desktop).
I was looking at the Phantom Rom, and then I came accross Alliance Rom.
Which is better? I was really attracted to Alliance ROM, for ease of customization.
Also: On either ROM are these features still available?
Speaker Phone
Wifi Tether (how to access/open it)
Wifi calling
visual voicemail
GPS
Google play store still available?
Can I add a custom bootload?(How do i do it)
How can I transfer contacts from kies(on my computer) to the device?
Then also, A complete process to install/ flashing? the Rom.
I mean every step dumbed down( I know Im sorry, I am a quick learner though)
If theres anything else I should know or do?
Oh and I heard that there is another app installer like google play store, is there?
A response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Post links to the ROM threads you are interested in. It could save you from having issues later on. Alliance is not built specifically for the SGH-T889. I don't recognize the other ROM.

Phantom --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737570
There are the two links. I thought they were available for the Tmobile Note 2? I take it the N7100 is a diffferent model than T-mobile's SGH T889?
If the case being that I cannot, or should not use these roms with my tmobile note 2, is there any other roms similar that you would reccomend?
This is where I originally found the "Phantom" Rom (although on this site it is just named S5/Note 3 Hybrid)

I tried messaging the guy several ways and I have not received any responses from him in 2 weeks.

Don't use N7100 Roms on the T889
You can use N7105 Roms.
ok, then how about this situation

do these still work?

Can I add a custom bootload?(How do i do it)
Also, does roaming work? and if i were to call tmobile to turn on/off roaming will i run into any problems?
How can I transfer contacts from kies(on my computer) to the device or is there another program i can use?
how about restoring backups of apps/data/contacts from TItanium back up, are there any issues with that?
I also was told that there is a way to add an FM radio to my phone as well, would you be able to assist me with this, or point me in the right direction?

Need help on Galaxy Note 2 N7105

Hi Guys,
I have switching roms in these few months. Recently, I tried to use back the stock rom N7105XXUFOB2. Everything went normal until I found 2 problems:
1. imei is blank with /01 when typing *#06#, but baseband was shown and I can still get the network. (My mistake for not backing up the efs folder)
2. GPS not found, tried with google map and waze but same issue. Tried with gps status also to no solution. (No satellite at all)
Then, I went for customs rom, GPS works and network works as per normal but with imei blank and baseband display. Anyone got idea on how to resolve it?
Appreciated if anyone can help.
Where did you get the stock ROM? Is that the latest stock ROM for the phone?
I found these stock ROMs: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=GT-N7105

I have forgotten where I downloaded it. But definitely not sammobile as it requires user login.
Below is the version I use.
PDA/AP Version: N7105XXUFOB2
CSC Version: N7105OLBFOD1
MODEM/CP Version: N7105XXUFNI2
Region: Singapore (singtel)
Are you saying that the stock rom I am downloading is not genuine or somehow corrupted?
Is that possible that imei blank, baseband still around and mobile signal works as per normal? Because I am facing it. lol.
By the way, in 4.4.2, is there anyway to do screen mirroring to samsung tv? Firstly, it mentions 'Unable to Start Screen Mirroring because of Hardware Issues'. Then I checked online and edit build.prop file by adding in “wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable“. Then the hardware issue quote is gone but the tv screen is blank.
I would flash the latest stock ROM from updato.com.
I'm not sure how you can get any cell or data service from your carrier without success valid IMEI.

Ya, it is very weird. But just to confirm again. If I reflash the rom from the website you mentioned, Is that possible to fix the blank imei issue? I think it is going to be 50-50.
I have tried googled this issue, I found some said to change imei using mtk tool, does it apply to galaxy note 2 as it mentioned works for Mediatek devices and not sure about others?
Just a friendly reminder that XDA does not permit any discussions related to changing an IMEI.
Flashing the latest stock ROM will sometimes being back the IMEI.

Understood. I found the same rom in updato, just wonder why some roms with same android version but different pda version so late? (Eg, France (Orange) (FTM), N7105XXUFQH1, 4.4.2- 17 Sept 2017)
Is it just because the rom is being updated late in updato?
Different ROMs for different regions and carriers. Not all ROMs have the same languages too.

Understood and thanks for your explanation. For stock firmware, do you have problem doing screen mirroring to smart TV?
Unfortunately, I can't comment on mirroring because I haven't had a Samsung phone for a while.

Oh I see, never mind then.
The problem on the stock firmware is that manufacturer has already abandoned the phone. Therefore, many apps have been discontinued and that's why the screen mirroring is not working. But I trully love the stock camera app compared with custom rom. :crying:
Now I'm using custom rom and will continue monitoring first. :laugh:
Anyway, thanks again.
I think the note 2 has decent hardware and could probably run 6.0 with no problem but Samsung would sell fewer phones

Ya, you are right. I am not using custom rom resurrection remix nougat version. The camera is not as smooth as the stock camera which is sad for me. My wife did complain to me that the phone with this rom was lagging, which led me to back to stock firmware.
But now I am back to same rom so far is ok, only that I need to make sure the phone can run smoothly and I will be happy to use it. Cheers.
