Urgent help needed flashing a ROM over DMF2 firmware?

Hi all,
My Note 2 LTE (N7105) Updated OTA from my carrier (EE UK) when I got it last week, and is now on the DMF2 build/baseband.
However, I've heard that flashing a ROM over this will make the IMEI disappear (correct me if I'm wrong), as per Dr.Ketan's thread here
I really want to install some ROMs like CleanROM Ace or Jedi x17 ROM, however I'm worried that I will ruin my device I just got the other day
Any idea on what my options are?
Thanks in advance!

U read that wrong buddy..it says MF2 and ME6 are latest modem and it modifies efs so that only newer modems(me6,mf2,mg1) can read the partition.
If u DOWNGRADE or flash older modems(before mf2,me6) it will result in imei loss
So u can flash any rom with latest modems..continue flashing:thumbup:

[Q] SGH-317M ROMs

Hi All,
I've tried to find this information because I am sure that it must have come up before but cannot seem to find it.
As the title says, I have SGH-317M Note II (rooted and unlocked already) and was wondering when choosing a ROM which ones are ok to load; The N7100 or N7105?
I haven't seen any SGH-317M specific ROMs so I assume that one of these two are the correct ones.
Any help is very appreciated.

I believe your device is a LTE device.
So, it would be better if you use N7105, but you have to prepare the modem and kernel of your own device.
N7105 rom runs well on T-mob Note2, as well as the other way around, but with a proper modem and kernel of our own device.
That's what I know, and what I've tried (use T-mob ROM into my device), I'm not sure about your device.
But for safe, do backup of your IMEI / efs, in case corrupted during the flashing of custom ROM. at least, you will have a backup of your IMEI / efs to restore.

Hi antique_sonic,
Thank you for your reply. First of all, "Yes" my device is an LTE device so I will stick with the N7105 ROMs.
If I update the ROM on my Note2 will my Kernel and Modem change?
Or are you saying that when I load a new ROM I must update to a Kernel and Modem that works well with that specific ROM?
On my past Android devices updating the Modems and Kernels was always a separate choice if I wanted to update them and was never tied to a ROM. Is this different on the Note2?
Cheers,
Dave

Sorry... I just read ur reply.
Most of lte custom tw rom will ask u whether u want to change or keep. I always choose to keep mine.
In case the rom u choose force u to change, u can always flash back ur own modem nd csc files.
But go and find the modem and csc for ur device nd region first to be safe in case things go wrong.

Hey thanks again for the reply. Can you point me in the direction of where I can find the Modem and CSC files or instructional links? All the files I have found were the original carriers ROM images.
Sorry for the trouble, still trying to ramp up on the note 2

I m sorry I have no idea where to find modem nd csc for ur model.
I only know N7105.

I9505, M919, and the AT&T S4 are all on the same chipset. I've flashed international ROMs on my M919. I say go for it, and you should know by now to make a Nandroid of your current ROM if anything goes wrong.

my first rule of flashing is backup

n900w8 Baseband Unknown

Just like the title says.
I have the n900w8 variant of the note 3 which works in canada and mexico. not sure about other countries. So I installed the hyperdrive rom that is for the n900t model.
It works awesome i had to flash some fixes now when i try to flash one of the s5 ports for the n900t or n9005 which both of them are compatible I get the unknown baseband and no imei issue. I hope someone in here can help me.
i have to mention that i made a nandroid backup and after the rom is flashed I flash the back up but only restoring Modem and Efs. still same issue.

There's a few guys that can (or rather willing to) do bling builds. But the problem with blind builds is, you cannot test them. Not too many dev's from Canada. Sorry. As I get time, i will work with Allen on W9008 buids if there's enough people to warrant the time and effort.

The only way you can solve the imei and baseband
issue is to Odin flash the original STOCK firmware.
After Odin flashing you can root the phone
and flash a custom recovery if you like.
You can also flash a custom rom which was
created for your specific phone's model.
Then just be careful of what you flash in
the future.
You can find the original STOCK ODIN (TAR) firmware
at http://sammobile.com
Good luck!

working now

Hi there,
Mind helping me? I ended up having unknown Baseband and IMEI null during lollipop upgrade. I tried flashing back to original stock rom both kitkat and lollipop but I still got same issues. I ended up rooting the phone and currently running twrp. I'm just at lost right now on what else to do. I'm thinking of putting custom ROM but I"m not sure with one will work. I have SM-N900W8 Canadian version.

CyanogenMod question.

Hello guys! So I just had a quick question about the t0ltetmo ROMs from CyanogenMod. I asked on their Facebook page but some jack off that "works for CyanogenMod" was just rude as hell, and called me stupid. So does anyone know if CyanogenMod unified the t0lte ROM and is safe for flashing on other variants? The t0ltetmo, t0lteatt etc. Thanks guys! And if you could, send me a link where they announced that? I saw the post that said they were going to make a unified ROM but they never posted and said it was done. Thanks all!

From my experience if you see t0lte, t0lteatt, t0ltetmo, N7105, it should be fine to install if your device is any of those you just may happen to flash a modem afterward if the ROM includes one and it isn't your device.
In short, it's safe.

Thanks! So even if the ROM wasn't unified, it has no way of bricking my phone real bad? If it doesn't work, it can be restored with a backup? Cuz yea, I have the t-mobile version, and the ROM I'm talking about was made for the international. It MAY be unified, not sure.

I've been flashing all sorts of ROMs under the previously mentioned codenames with no issues. Stay away from other Galaxy Note II codenames though, N7100, i605, l900

Thanks for your help man! Also, which variant do you have?

t0lteatt. Wish I had the t0ltetmo since I'm on T-Mobile and this ATT one won't get LTE some reason
