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

Hi guys, firstly i wanna thank you for this wonderfull forum, i've been reading it in and out for the last 3-4 weeks.
I managed to successfully root and flash a HTC one, a HTC desire, my good Samsung s4, and then..
A friend of mine has an LG Optimus g pro f240s, bought from Amazon - from Korea SK Telecom, we live in Europe (Austria).
As we had some security problems with the old (not updated for a long time) software 4.2.2 early this year, we decided to flash a custom Rom.
That is where the trouble begins. Now, i managed to root the LG Optimus G PRO and to install a Cyanogenmod ROM.
Everything was fine, except there has been NO SIGNAL.
Then, a week later - the new Stock software came in 4.4.2 and i have tried to update it through the official software, and i also have followed the guides here on XDA developers (the ones with adb interface, marwin2, https server, and so on). Nothing.
Then i have discovered that my WIN 8 computer is not the ideal environment for this operation, so i've installed WIN7 and tried once more.
I have been able to flash the stock based LGViet Rom 4.4.2, also found on this forums. Still have been getting service disabled.
Then the official APP from LG has finally been reading the phone, so i have made an official update, now having the official - stock version of 4.4.2 LG SK Telecom software.
The modem reads the same one that was there upon buying the phone (original one), the phone behaves normally, but - SERVICE DISABLED!!!
Please help, i have no root, no custom recovery now, but a very good looking tablet without being able to do phone calls!
I have been thinking - could this be an SIMLOCK issue? I have bought the unlock codes, but i do not have the original SK Telecom Sim, so there is no way to enter them. I have tried these codes 2945#*240# or 2945#*975#, but there is just NO POP UP menu to enter the codes!
What should i do to get the service working?
Thank you
EDIT:
the phone reads phone number and IMEI correctly,
HW info:
Model nr LG-F240S
Serial number correct
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Kernel 3.4.0
Build Nr KOT 491.F240Se
SW Version F240S20e
nobody having an idea? please?
Issue : LG Optimus G PRO F240S, rooted, then back to stock--> LGViet 4.4.2 Rom, then Stock by the LG stock tool
problem: SERVICE DISABLED
idea 1 - is it Sim Lock?
idea2 - no idea
pls
Have you tried *#*#4636#*#*?
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Have you tried *#*#4636#*#*?
thank you for the code, i've tried it just now but after entering it it just disappears without any action. Suppose ill try to run the official update once more and try the code again.
there may be some rest data in my installation which hinder the menus or something...?

Max Weinbach posted on https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-note8-bootloader-odin/ that Samsung 8/8+/Note 8 January update come with a new bootloader that
1) can not downgrade your phone after installing this
2) block Prince Comsy’s modded Odin.
Max wrote one consequence is: "Note8 owners with the carrier Note8 devices cannot flash the US unlocked firmware. If you try to flash the carrier unlocked firmware on carrier phone, it will hard brick your phone". But later make this correction as an EDIT: After being tested by XDA Senior member me2151, it turns out cross region flashing does work. Prince Comsy Odin is working, but we can not test if the factory binary flashing will hard brick your phone. So flashing US unlocked onto a US carrier device should work.
I will like to buy a Note 8 and what I want to do is have 2 (or more) ROM (OS) and be able to multi boot. I have 4 questions regarding this. With the January update can I use multi boot ROM (MultiROM, DualBootPatcher, or any other) on:
1) The Unlock International Version (install the T-mobile ROM and other ROMs)?
2) The Unlock US Version (install the T-mobile ROM and other ROMs)?
3) The T-Mobile (Snapdragon) version (Install US unlock version ROM and other ROMs)? As far said here: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-update-805328/ the T-mobile Janaury update is not out yet for T-Mobile, so a T-Moile Note 8 is not supposed to be affected by it.
The 4th questions is: Lets said I have T-Mobile Note 8, Im succesfull installing a multi boot, I have 3 ROMs simulstaniously. ROM 1 is the T-Mobile ROM that came with the phone, ROM 2 is Unlock US Note 8 ROM and ROM 3 FireFox OS. Everything work fine. Then After that, came out the “January” update for T-Mobile and I installed (because I need to be protected by the vulnerabities if fix). But the update change the bootloader. The question is> Will I be able to multi boot the 3 ROMs, like was doing before instaling the update? Or the 2 non carrier ROMs will be affected by the boot loader change made by the update, and the T-mobile phone will only able to boot to the original T-Mobile ROM that came with the phone? Or when the update change the boot loader will mess (probably brick) the whoe phone not letting me to boot what ever ROM it have (the T-Mobile and and the other 2 ROMs)
I'm sorry not meaning to sound rude but I almost fell asleep midway through reading your post... 1st of all from what I gathered your buying a international note 8? And then want to flash multiboot which I personally only used when running touchwiz Rom and say a ASOP Rom if you will... but you need to keep in mind that your not gonna find too many roms over here on the snapdragon devices. I will tell you if you want to utilize multiboot then don't buy a Samsung. I used multiboot on my LGv20 having stock rooted as my daily and Lineage as my 2nd.

I was told that Snapdragon Note 8 (US unlock and US carrier) does not have unlocked boot loader, therefore is impossible to multiboot.
The question is if the Exynos model could be used to multiboot?
The #1 reason I decided against the international model was issues with Carrier Aggregation I even asked the question in this forum and the international forum about if any fix had been found...I just wasn't willing to shell out that kind of money and not have the phone work properly switching between towers. I went with a US unlocked version...should be here Thursday.
in regards to multi-boot...I believe that would be processor dependent (someone please correct me if I am wrong.) and thus you would need to inquire in the international forum if there is a multi-boot for the exynos chipsets.
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.

Android pie firmwares are bootloader 1, you have now bootloader 2, so, no, there is no way to roll back to pie

This is my advice to you ,
from my personal experience with Samsung devices, over the years .!!
Firstly, there can be many reasons for lags and problems .??
eg .
It can be another app that's causing the lag ?
It t can maybe be that....
'something /app ,setting ,system app is corrupted .."??
you have maybe disabled / freeze an app and you having a knock on effect ,modified
or tweaked something .
Bottom line ,
you have to look for the "culprit " that's causing all the issues .????
Best is to start from scratch ...factory reset .!!!!!
It should help .?
Yes, i know it's an big issue ..factory resetting or as i found out .....
I normally ,did a factory reset ,then flashed stock firmware ( no root attempts etc )
In my case i usually have about 200/300 apps installed .
It's a big job ..big hazzle/effort , to re install
and yes no backup "re installs" except eg contacts ,calendar entries etc .
No old backup ,Device settings ,no data etc
Fresh installs , a few apps at a time and test your device for issues ..each time
eg for a day or 3 .
Then carry on with another few installs ....
Further ,
i could be a Samsung firmware issue ..in which case Samsung should fix/patch it ..later.?
But , then most of other users , would have had similar issues, as you ?
Also ,I should know , how big hazzle ..effort factory is .!
If the current situation is annoying/frustrating you ,then its worth a try .?
but bottom line ..in all of my cases ( with my past devices )
i either found the culprit app or corrupted setting etc ..issue .!!
Never ever .. have i flashed "back" to solve an issue .!
Good luck
