and restores imei
help me i need to get my phone upgraded

Try flashing mg1 rom again via odin and flash lk6 modem..since u mentioned that lk6 fixed the issue.
I am sure it will solve the problem because modem is the one that creates conflict
Try this method and report here

You flashed via pc odin or mobile Odin?
If you flashed via mobile odin i have to inform u that the last firmwares update efs for this reason mobile Odin maybe has problem. It happened to me sometime before when I tried to update via mobile odin , the solution was to flash again all firmware not only modem via pc odin.

Flashed via PC odin using .pit file and without it

For some reason is not updating the efs partition for this when u go back to older fw is ok the imei. Be sure that any kies process is not running (if u have installed kies for the drivers) and maybe try another firmware which also updating efs partition like Xxdme6 and after go to mg1. Pit file is not necessary for this and if you don't have take a backup of efs partition before proceed.
Some info also about efs change u can find here

Maybe is corrupted the file of the mg1 firmware which you try to nstall, try to re-download or check the hashes. There are not many differences between me6 and mg1. Kernel is the same modem is different. Pay attention 2 things first that now you can't go back to mb2 firmware because your efs partition has updated when you installed me6 and second you have to take again backup of efs partition. For safety keep both efs backups before me6 and after

i found many people complain regarding lost or invalid IMEI. i thought that was caused by oldest radio hardware which installed on that device. since latest modem & kernel only can detect new radio hardware correctly.
in DMG1 based rom, u can put the trick by installing ariza patch or flashing custom rom & downgrading modem. but that's not work in 4.3 leaked rom.
pls check, your product was manufactured in vietnam or south korea ?
mine is vietnam.. i think most problem came from vietnam manufacture..

Mine is china and ariza patch not works

Firmware update using mobile odin

Have just rooted using cf auto root and want to update my firmware which is currently on stock 4.1.1. I am in the UK but my phone is a grey import with csc code (AFR), which according to Sammobile is Kenya. Can I just update the firmware using any of the English 4.1.2 files using mobile odin without messing up my phone?
I haven't got Cwm installed as I only want to use official firmwares.
Thankyou..

I think you cant just use otin mobile because you have to upgrade also bootloader and this is possible only with odin PC version. But maybe im wrong

Have just been reading through dr.ketan's guides and it looks like I can flash any official firmware for my phone as long as it's the same model number.

Yes you can update any country ROM for same device.
Just to add if you want to use mobile odin, then keep in mind Mobile odin won't flash bootloader and i recommend to flash bootloader later with PC odin, still your root will remain intact.
PS : actually bootloader need not to flash everytime and only this time there is a fix for exynose bug so you need to do it.
you can find new bootloader on my same rooting thread post #4
How do we find out which version bootloader is on note 2?

Thankyou. I will have a look. Should I flash the bootloader first to fix the exynos bug, then the firmware, or do them both at the same time using pc odin?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
you need to flash bootloader separately only if you use mobile odin to update ROM.
In case you are using PC odin to flash latest stock ROM, that will include bootloader and need not to flash it separately.
This is b'coz as i said mobile odin can't flash bootloader.(safety feature)

I thought the latest official Rom fixed sds. Will have to learn about kernel and recovery now lol. All I wanted to do was update my rom to an official one to mainly fix the exynos bug, sds bug and check out the new features.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
yes, it has fixed SDS too
I said to utkarsh that exynose is fixed with bootloader.
So
If you use mobile odin to flash latest ROM, SDS will fixed but not exynose yet
While flashing with Pc odin, it will fix SDS as well exynose

Hey when flashing with Odin how do you know what version of firmware will work with your phone? I have a note 2 from vodafone ireland with the csc of VDI. Would i be able to use one of those 4.1.2 updates or is it only unlocked phones that work?
Any ROM should work.

Am just about to update my phone using pc odin. I have loaded the pda file, but the bootloader is still blank. Do I have to load the same file into the bootloader section as well to fix the exynos bug and sds?
Thankyou.

No need to do it
If tar file having it(4.1.2 of 2013 released have it), then it will get flashed from PDA.

I have this problem too after updated my Note 2 GT-N7100 firmware to pre-release 4.3. After updated, I notice the baseband and imei is unknown. But it randomly will back to normal with baseband and imei (same like behind battery) and working fine. Sometime I just need to wait for 1 hour for the baseband back to normal. This mean your efs folder still there. Just backup the folder use es file explorer and sync it to Dropbox.
Cheers!
Flash the latest modem. Mj5 mj2 or mi6. Either of those 3 4.3 modems will fix the issue.

Why do you want to flash an older firmware? It seems to be a KitKat to KitKat downgrade that may work but without guarantee. Nevertheless: I would really like to know your actual bootloader version, check with this app -> LINK
