i have a bell galaxy note 2, after i flashed some custom ROM, my phone stop working, i have found similar problem on the sprint form, but doesn't know how to fix, please help.
Problem #1:
After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:
Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.
Problem #2:
When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).
i try odin a bell stock still doesn't work, and when i boot into recovery it keep saying is a RWC rogers phone, does that have something to do with the problem? i also try kies too, still no luck.

This has nothing to do with development.
However unless you have a backup. You'll need to return your phone for a new one.

sorry i posted wrong place, where can i get help, i am new to this, and how do i delete this post
Make sure you odin a rom that included the radio and kernel. Preferably a return to stock type thing. If that didn't work did you back up your efs partition?
Also what did you flash exactly?
OP please read the Forum Rules on posting in the correct Section, Moved & Thank You
I had same situation as you few days ago, I messed up my Rogers note ii with flashed 7100 rom to my i317m. I lost baseband, network imei. Luckily, after I flashed root injected FACTORY Stock rom to my rogers phone, the problem had been fixed, here is the link where you can download the root injected FACTORY Stock rom for you phone. Hopefully, you will get your phone fixed

i flashed a rogers rooted stock version rom on my phone, so now after i did recovery it just keep on shows is a RWC in the recovery mode doesn't matter which stock rom i flash, and its saying a BMC in the download more product name. so its really messed up. because i unlocked the phone from bell, so the guy at bell told me i void the warranty on it. now i don't know what i can do to fix my phone.
Pit CSC file
any idea where i can find a pit file for my bell note 2 so i can repartion it, or that's something only samsung has it
This was a big issue with the gs3 and they've come up with a solution in that thread so given the similarities I would think that would work with some tweaking for the different partitions on the note 2. Check out the gs3 forum & maybe get in touch.. they might be able to help.

Hello all. Been a computer geek for 25+ years, and an android geek for a little over a year. I have done numerous flashes on Continuum, Fascinate, Nexus, and various other phones. I cannot seem to get a "clear and defined" answer on this question:
I have a TOTAL nandroid backup via ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2
I have a TOTAL system & app backup via Titanium Backup Pro 6.0.1
I am rooted with Chainfire's SuperSU v1.34
Phone
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710
Android Version:
4.1.2
Baseband Version:
L710VPBMD4
Kernel Version:
3.0.31-1130792
Build Number:
JZO54K.L710VPBMD4
Hardware Version:
L710.14
I did ALL the OTA updates from 4.0.1 to 4.1.2 prior to PagePlus flash. Had phone flashed to PagePlus with 100% working 3G, text, talk, and MMS. IF I flash a custom ROM (ie: CyanogenMod Nightly build, MOAR, etc...) will it render my PagePlus inoperable or require reflashing to PagePlus with every custom ROM flash? At $50.00 per flash that can get expensive. IF it DOES screw up the PagePlus flashing, can I just do either of the previously mentioned backups, and have my PagePlus flash settings magically re-appear? Or will it require a visit to my local PagePlus retailer for another flashing? My previous phones didnt require "flashing to PagePlus" since they were verizon phones and can be updated by simply dialing *228 or *22890.
Short answer: No
You don't lose your phone number when flashing roms, right?
APN settings may need to be modified manually though for MMS, etc

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I knew you didnt lose your number or carrier settings when you flash a custom rom to a verizon based 3g phone (not sure about verizon 4g LTE phones tho), since PagePlus uses verizon towers, and to update roaming capabilities, and PRL is easily accomplished by the *228 or *22890. BUT when using a Sprint based 4g phone, if you flash a new rom, or go backwards to an older oem rom, I was under the impression that EVERYTHING goes back to the default Sprint settings, and that the PagePlus side of things is forever gone. But noone can give me a definitive YES or NO on this, and at $50 a pop for mistakes can get expensive quickly
I have flashed the following Verizon phones with with "multiple" OEM & Custom ROMS with NO problems: Continuum SCH-I400, Fascinate SCH-I500, Droid X, HTC Incredible, HTC Vogue Touch (installed android instead of win 6.x), Verizon Nexus SCH-I515 . None of these required anything other than OTA programming to work 100% with Page Plus (except the Nexus which I could NEVER get on PagePlus no matter how hard we tried).

Page Plus Mystery Solved?
First off..... sorry for posting in the "general" area with a question. I'll try to be more careful in the future......
Second.... Answer to my own question, and for anyone else in the "not knowing".
I bit the bullet yesterday and flashed 3 custom roms. Cyanogenmod, Miui, and MiBox, and then flashed back to my nandroid oem 4.1.2 JB I had 100% working Talk, Text, and MMS on ALL 3 roms, as well as the oem.
So, the answer to my question, YES, you can flash custom roms without losing PagePlus flash. I did NOT do an Odin flash, but I did do a factory reset, and still had all my settings intact.
Thanks to all the helpful people who gave opinions/pointers. Your work with the devices is GREATLY appreciated!!!! Keep up the good work.

I'm hoping you can help me with my similar question. I have a used Verizon Galaxy Nexus (SCH-I515) that I successfully programmed to use Page Plus. (I have no idea what I actually did, but I was able to follow the instructions I found online with no problems.) It's currently running JB 4.2.2 and Paranoid Android 3.6, and I'd like to get JB 4.3 on it.
I don't really understand flashing and all that (for instance, what ODIN is or what the ramifications of different operations are), and I can't seem to get an answer to my question.
Ideally, I'd like to get JB 4.3 on it (either stock/rooted or using one of the stable ROMs out there (CM 10?)), AND I'm hoping I don't have to reconfigure all the settings I've spent the last two weeks setting up.
Any insight? Thanks!
Ok so I rooted and unlocked my e970. From there I uninstalled the at&t bloatware. After awhile I noticed I didn't have a data connection anymore. I used the phones factory data reset and all those apps are back but Im still not getting a data connection. I use Straight talk.

This forum isn't for at&t /sprint phones it's only for the international version e975 and canadian one e973. However if you messed up uninstalling something that wasn't meant to be uninstalled a factory reset doesn't do the trick. You have to re-flash your original rom (or a custom one if you want). Anyway follow guides and /or ask for help for AT&T Lg optimus G at the XDA forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1921
I unlocked a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 FROM ATT I am using Tmobile services.
My question is can I install a Stock ROM from TMobile instead of having the ATT one?
I like the Wifi Calling and Tethering option.
I can tell you... But I have a LOT of readers who want to know how to do what you have already done! How did you SIM unlock your SGH-I337? There is a published method for AT&T and TMo that seems to no longer work on the AT&T variant.
OK.. I won't hold you hostage, but I really would like to know!
For the flash to stock, just head over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
Follow the instructions and that will re-flash T-Mobile stock everything.

Yes. But also check this thread. The AT&T boot loader is locked and may require Loki Doki patch when you are done.

.... I may be wrong here, but since when has it been OK to Odin different carrier's stock .tars? Flashable CWM zips yes, but the bone stock tar with modem, baseband, etc?
Also, being that you have TMO service and an ATT device; flashing a TMO ROM with WiFi calling should work; just use an ATT kernel and the Loki patch. Personally, I'd flash the rooted stock MDL or a custom TouchWiz via CWM or whatever recovery you happen to use and not use Odin.

Since wjenmisnit OK to do it differently?
It is only OK to do when you know what you are doing. In this case the hardware is absolutely identical. You're not going to be using AT&Ts baseband firmware on the T-Mobile network are you? Good luck with that.

i have the i337 ATT and I am using a Tmobile sim card. Just youtube "unlock galaxy s4 AT&T". There are plenty of videos that use a secret menu to unlock the phone.
Free and instant
I also have AT&T i337 unlocked BUT
I also have AT&T i337 unlocked BUT when I try to use it with MetroPCS (same tower as T-Mobile - companies now merged) I can't get anything but Edge network where on my MetroPCS-supplied phone I get 4G (LTE only rarely) in the same areas. Edge network is ridiculous - can't even load a standard webpage- forget about watching a video! ookla =0.01mps!
So I have an unusable rooted, unlocked S4.
I've tried various APN settings to no avail... Thought I would try liquidsmooth ROM, or any ROM that works on both AT&T and T-Mobile... I assume T-Mobile /MetroPCS would react the same. And I am on a pay as you go plan that is similar to T-Mobile's s. I could easily switch to them if not...
Questions:
Has anyone any advice that could help?
Does anyone know if T-Mobile requires a "pairing" of sim card with phone's IMEI as MetroPCS does? (big pain in the butt)
I've done the same thing flashed roms, Modems, To my luck nothing, I did filing that since I repaired the imei, That is when the problem started. Also to does not tie imei to sims. Did you repair imei

Easy free Sim unlock
Just wanted to point out that if you know someone who has AT&T service they can unlock your phone for free My girlfriend did it for me on their website and it took 24 hours for them to send an email with the unlock code. Just thought i should share that. Up next getting this t-mobile rom onto my 32gb i337 at 4.4.2 with NB1. I hate everything AT&T and God is this phone bloated!

To be honest i can't answer your question. The phone i bought was from a guy who sold it to me out of eBay with a none working screen, he had the imei in the pics so i ran an imei blacklist check and it was clean. I asked him why he didn't fix it and said it was out of warranty so he just left it dead. I guess it was paid for but in his account so it was free for anyone to use but letting my girl do the unlock request worked so if you have a phone that's not blacklisted and you its not associated to an active account I guess it could be done. Try it, it's worth the try.
Similar question
Very first post, not sure if I should have started a new thread. Anyway, I have an ATT S4 I337 with the MF3 baseband. It's rooted, region unlocked, and fully switched to t-mobile service using a method I found on youtube, which worked fairly well except had to modify two things (I can help if you're having trouble). Now I'd like to upgrade firmware (I'm still on 4.2.2). However, I have a lot of uncertainty because of all the changes I've made. If I temporarily unroot, who am I going to get updates from? Do I need TMO or ATT custom ROMs if I want custom (have they solved that bootloader issue yet?). Basically, what's the safest way to update firmware?
Thanks in advance

The above also omits that if you are on Android 4.3.X than the bootloader on your Samsung Galaxy S4 contains a bootloader restriction preventing any downgrade which means you would be unable to flash MDL (ie. M919UVUAMDL) since MDL is Android 4.2.2.
Does anyone know a way around this bootloader restriction thereby allowing a downgrade to 4.2.2?
att i337 to t-mob stock
Hi, Im pretty new to this firmware and different model numbers etc.. but here goes. I bought a samsung s4 on att i337 a few months ago off a friend. I paid an online company for the unlock code and received the code within 24 hours. The phone is now unlocked and I have a T-mob sim in it, i'm now looking to update the firmware to t-mobile 4.4.4. Can i download a t-mob stock rom for i337?? I'm worried that this might break the phone as everything I see for t-mob is SGH-M919. Should this matter now that the phone is unlocked?? Thanks
No, you need to use ATT firmware due to hardware differences (antenna/radio). Also as I recall ATT S4s have a locked bootloader meaning only safestrap compatible ROMs can be used, unless something changed since I had one last summer. Sold it, on Swappa, and bought a TMob version with unlocked boot loader and sim unlocked!

Hi! I am having major issues with my s4 i337 after switching from att to tmobile. The phone was unlocked so I took it upon myself to unlock it. It is unlocked but sometimes or rather most of the time does not pick up the network. When it does have data connection, it is Edge. I flashed the NC1 to root my phone, then reflashed to NJ4 (to unlock) but now nothing works. No wifi, camera fails, no multitasker, no voice assistant. Please help!!!!! I don't know what to do. I should have never unrooted it to unlock. I should have paid the $35 to get an unlock code. Can I fix this?

I am not sure. I flashed NB1 as suggested by another forum member and everything is working once again. Although it went back to 4.4.2.
Now it has this notification : security notice: unauthorized actions have been detected. It wants me to reboot to revert the changes. How do I make this go away and will it go back to its unusable mode if I manually reboot?

i have samsung galaxy s7 edge att unlocked with tmobile sim card and my last 2 ota upgrade are from tmobile G935TUVU4APK1
After the recent OTA update, I followed the steps here to restore root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/guide-root-optionally-s-off-radio-t3373025 and mistakenly installed the latest version of SuperSU when I should have installed an encrypted version (or set the encrypt flags).
After losing the radios for mobile data, I tried several methods to restore stock (twrp restore and stock recovery on current and previous versions, 2PS6IMG on SD root dir, RUU updater) but have not been able to recover the radios.
The device is still S-On, I'm thinking going S-Off and flashing an earlier version might get the radios back. Are there any other methods I can try?
I'm not sure if the radios really were affected after rooting. After my last HUU flash, I manually entered the APN for AT&T's HSPA+ I was able to get mobile data with the 4G icon. I don't remember if this phone has anything that indicates LTE, my vague memory says it's only displayed 4G ever since I've used it.
What I don't believe however, is having to manually enter the alternate APN for AT&T. I think the preset NXTGENPHONE APNs are supposed to work. Any other ATT users out there able to use the preset APN for ATT?
Did you happen to decrypt? Have to remain encrypted (forceencrypt) to have working radios.
When I rooted the first time, I installed SuperSU that did not have encrypt flags set. So I figured I'd lost the radios. But every time I restored, I never got the radios back until I decided to manually use an alternate APN rather than the built in configurations.
I just talked to AT&T Customer Service after finding a flag indicating changes were made to my data plan on the day I tried to root using SuperSU without forceencrypt. They said the system updated the service for the device probably because there was an IMEI mismatch. It took maybe 30-40 minutes but the person at the other end added my IMEI to their database and I can now connect to the 'NXTGENPHONE' APN.
I'm guessing my IMEI was never in the database to begin with and when I went to the ATT store to get a new SIM when I bought this phone, the tech at the store did some kind of work around to make the APN work. Maybe somehow the data radios being affected after rooting allowed their system to do whatever correction it was programmed to do. <shrugs>
I did also put the SIM into my old Galaxy Nexus just to see if it was able to access data, that being a 3G phone, maybe that could have been the reason for the system booting me off the APN.
First you need the latest supersu, i usually use the stable versions. And you have to advance whipe data in twrp to get encryption working again to get signal back. Don't remember the exact words/buttons because the version used in the rootjunky video has changed with the current version but they are the same buttons.
