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:

Hello,
I've got a LK7-bootloader (baseband N7100XXDLK7) on my german N7100 and actually installed ProBAM 1.2.0.
Because of some stability-issues I would like to install a 4.3-ROM like Omega or Phoenix, but I'm a bit confused about MJ5-bootloader, KNOX, Wifi-Fix etc.
Under all circumstances I would like to avoid having a KNOX-actived bootloader!
What do I have to do to get a smooth, stable 4.3-ROM with the corresponding bootloader?
Any help is really much appreciated :good:
Best regards and thanks a lot

You can either remain on your bootloader and flash Dr. ketan's Wi-fi patch, or flash MJ5 bootloader, which doesn't have Knox. IMHO MJ5 is better option. I have flashed Criskelo ROM (4.3) and MJ5 bootloader weeks ago and it works just perfectly. Definitely smoother and faster than 4.1.2, battery is the same, 100% stable, never had a glitch, and Note 3 pack is great.
Hi guys u guys are very helpful to each others
My problem is I having n7100 bought in China(somebody bring from there) I don't know which version I tried to install cynogen os year back successful done after bored with CM10 then I installed N7105 CM12 successful then t889 version CM13 (I LOST IMEI) I tired to fix IMEI but fails..
Now I tried stock ROM t889 successfully installed i got my IMEI back but T mobile locked SIM
Now can i install international stock ROM ?
Which bootloader I have to install?
Now I want my phone back to work
What to do which is best?
My bootloader mk7
Thank you everyone ...
Hello people,
I am sorry I have to make a new thread
I have a t889v note 2 on 4.3, rooted, with videotron 4.3 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975560 rom, baseband T889VVLUCMK4 and I want a piece of that kitkat action. I have used EFS professional to backup NV items because I don't want to end up with a f****d up IMEI number with no reception, but I'm not sure Im in the clear to test out different roms.
This is the reason for my post, I want to know which roms I would be the safest with. I have read so many conflicting posts on this I don't feel confident enough to make a judgement call. Does t0lte roms include any modem that would conflict with my t889v modem/baseband? What about t0ltetmo ? I understand that's the part where t-mobile comes in but this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...06&postcount=8 says I shouldn't ever use t0ltemo, but would t889v not be closer to t889 than GT-N7105 ? In the same thread people are saying they flash t-mobile roms and then just flash the canadian modem on top and it works fine, but I would rather not mess anything up the first time around.
Anyone care enough to help? Basically I just want to know what to look for in my rom selection, I understand I don't want a rom with a built-in modem, but this is conflicting too, omnirom early builds have no modem while later builds have one?

I'm guessing you've been deterred by my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684412
In my experience, ROMs for the GT-N7105 work fine. You can also try other ROMs for AT&T, and Sprint, they are usually ok. I think there are many other posts on this on XDA, so have a look.
The moral of the story is, make sure to back up your EFS partition. It's that simple.
if it is a rom that you flash in recovery you should be fine. they don't usually contain a modem or bootloader that would bork your install. You should be able to flash att, tmo, or n7105 roms with no problem
Thank you very much to both of you, very appreciated.
I went on to install omnirom 4.4 but Im not really liking the multiwindow, its a poor experience compared to touchwiz, I might eventually switch to a touchwiz ui based rom to get note 3 features and all the goodies, Im not sure yet.
As long as you don't flash a non T889V modem you should be good. When in doubt, nothing stops you from checking the zip or tar to see if it includes a modem, and removing it if needed.
If you haven't seen it yet, some recoveries recently had issues after flashing KitKat ROMs where your IMEI would show as unknown along with the phone not having service. Flashing the same ROM with another, updated, recovery fixes it.
I had recently obtained a s3 its a T-mobile, its running 4.1.2, with the T999UVDMD5 baseband. I rooted it, flashed xposed(haha the only thing XD). Well, reading about/friends have said there was trouble with the 4.3 update so I decided to stay on 4.1.2.
However, now I've decided to flash a custom rom, and I have noticed the different labels(D2lte, D2tmo, D2usa) and I had read from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736477 "As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants" .
I have a few questions:
1.There was a baseband update, should I update it? If so, how exactly?
2.Would it be wise to flash a D2lte on This T-mobile device? I was looking at Resurrectionhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692481(originally waiting on cm11 but.. Yeah lol)
3.Looking at KitKat rooms, which ones could I flash?
4.Would it be safe, if I did flash a 4.4.2 to restore a nandroid backup of my fresh rooted stock 4.1.2.
5.Lastly, what kernel would you say use?(Sorry to ask, curiosity as to which i could flash)
I appreciate taking your time to answer my questions and have a good day!
1) custom recovery.. There are zips available to flash
2) d2lte covers all d2 devices so its safe
3)Any on the development threads
4) Yes
5) like on 3, you can flash any kernel in the development threads, experiment and see which one works the best for you!

To answer your questions:
1. You do not need to update your firmware - I'm still on MD5. Modems, however, can be flashed separately from firmware.
2. You can flash d2lte ROMs on this phone as it's all one unified build for US SGS3 variants. (I.e. T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint/Verizon SGS3 is now all built under d2lte).
3. As far as which KK ROM to flash...just try them all out and see which ones you like the best. Each ROM has different features - see which one is right for you.
4. If you don't update your firmware, then yes. (FYI, flashing a custom KK ROM does not update your firmware. However, if you flash one of the 4.3 root66 files that has firmware included, then it will update your firmware).
5. Again, try it out. It's hard to say which ROM/kernel combination will work best. I suggest you read the forums to see what people think of them.
Hope that helps.

No problem, and i forgot to say but the only time you might need to update modem is if you flash a 4.3 touchwiz ROM, other than that its not really needed unless you want to experiment and see if one gives you better results

Oh, and one more thing: DO NOT flash a ROM that is for the international version of the SGS3 (i9300). It will, most definitely, brick your phone.
Don't know if you knew that or not...just wanted to make sure.
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.
Hello all XDA members especially in our beloved Note 2 community :good:
I've owned my Note 2 since it's first launch.. I'm satisfied and proud to have one of the best phone ever made from Samsung. :good:
I have questions related to downgrading process, just want to confirm the process coz I don't want to brick my Note 2.
My mighty Note 2 is on Omega V.28, 4.4.2 Android Version with MJ5 bootloader and latest TWRP. I want to downgrade to 4.1.2 as I missed the 4.1.2 balance among performance and battery life.
My question are :
1. Can I just flash Omega V.18 (4.1.2) or the others 4.1.2 custom rom (not interested in stock rom ) directly from TWRP ?
2. Won't that procedure brick my phone ?
3. Will I lost my imei and signal ?
4. Can I flash existing modem to fix lost imei (XXUENA) ? Will it compatible with 4.1.2 (Omega V.18) ?
Thanks all for the answer an comments.. :good:
Cheers for Note 2

As long as you are on MJ5 bootloader you can flash 4.1.2 custom ROM via custom recovery.If you lose signal flash any of the modems either from hurricane modem changer or your current one if you have a flashable zip file for that.

I used to be on JellyKat v2,v3,v4 ever since i rooted my note 2.When official KK released i wanted to stay close to stock so i tried phantom v1 then and then for all s5/note3/note 2 looks i am using DN3 V5+.I do switch to AOSP roms in between when i get tired of TW.For now DN3v5+ is what I've been using .
