[Q] Ace 2 bricked. need help please :( - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, It's been a few years since i messed around with android but i got my girlfriend a samsung galaxy ace 2. It was fully updated so i assume it was on JB it was terribly lagging all over the place so i wanted to out cyanogen mod on it, and also try GB.
i tried to root so i could flash CWM but during rooting with odin it bricked.
ive read all the unbricking threads on here but all lead me to the samsung screen.
i have access to download mode but not recovery.
i was hoping someone could give me a full UK GingerBread rom with the 3 files so i can unbrick it please. I will be very very greatful!
i just tried flashing - I8160XXLK7_I8160-BTULK7_I8160XXLK7_HOME.tar.md5
but still gives me a brick.

DOUBLE THAT :highfive:

Hi! Just thought of giving you some suggestions on getting your GNex to Android's latest and greatest
As markjankovic mentioned, you can try the settings > about phone > update. If that doesnt get you where you want to go, you can try the following!
Go root your phone
I highly recommend this because you rGNex gets 10++ times cooler when you do! Tons of custom (and stable) ROMs and Kernels available here for you to try out! What's even better is that they are almost always running the latest flavour of Android! :highfive: My favourites are Cyanogenmod (now that 10.1.2 stable is out), ParanoidAndroid, and rasbeanjelly go give'em a try!
Tutorials on how to root can be found all over the internet! Start with these threads and go Google some more if you are thirsty for more
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828061
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
fastboot
If you are comfortable with it, you can go read up on tutorials to unlock your bootloader and flash Google's Factory 4.2.2 (or any of your desired version available there) via fastboot
Go Google this method if it interests you its rewarding once you've got a hang of it, I'll tell you that
This one is a little more advance but it ensures your phone is in mint, out of the box condition and freshness - software wise at least
Hope this helped! Cheers :silly:

[Q] AT&T i747 android 4.3 [How to root?]

Ok what i want? Root my fresh updated i747 4.3. The problem is
1- I'm brazilian and i'm not really used with the english language, even more whn it's about technical language so my apologies if there is already a thread for this or if i'm stupidly ignorant to not know how to do this.
2.I have been reading everything i could since yesterday morning so i could upgrade afeter several hours my 4.04 android to 4.3 but i was expecting to think about root after i reach the 4.3. But i didn't know about the Knox and SELinux.
3. I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 but i don't know much about kernel and modem this part I simply do wath de developers says but wintill this point i coundn't understand afeter various re-readings if i need/should downgrade to 4.0.4 and start all over again researching about how to do all this flash thing with kernel, modem and room or i can try and update via recovery and do all the steps listed on the thread.
4This far i got mey phone all stocked.....stock rom, stock recovery stock kernel and modem.
5I have experienced rooting SII lite and Galaxy 5 but never had to face a more newwer device and so complicated or without tutorials to get rooted.
6. Sorry again for whatever.......
@edit i don't care about those security features and now i have just rooted with the Knox and SELinux. giving me an error about Super User.

Also just in case what version you have like for example I have a i747UCUEMJB and the UCUEMJB is the bootloader not to throw you off. Some roms even though they say 4.3/4.4 just make sure you know what your doing in terms of the bootloader just never down grade your loaders of you updated to 4.3 it can really mess the phone up.

4.4.2 KitKat-OmniROM - Mobile Network/ Baseband/IMEI/ Sim Card Problems

Hello all,
Recently flashed the latest OmniROM 4.4.2 KitKat on a Rogers i747 from a 4.3 CarbonROM, but as a result, I no longer have any mobile network connection whatsoever. Can't even make an emergency call. Wifi does work though.
I'm running:
omni-4.4.2-20140205-d2att-HOMEMADE
CWM 6.0.4.7
SuperSU 1.91
and flashed the latest bootloader boot_CWM_I747MVLUEMK5 as I was getting a status 7 error before I did this when flashing the ROM zip.
When I go into Mobile Network settings, it says insert SIM and restart if I try to access Mobile Plan (already tried)`, IMEI and basband is unknown. Basically everything in the phone status menu is unknown or disconnected. I am unable to add APN settings for some reason as I can enter it all but it will not save.
I haven't tried flashing a different radio yet and I cannot seem to find much through searches.
If more info is required for a diagnosis I'll try my best to provide it.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated
Cheers!
Problem solved. Didn't realize no modem was installed.

PLEASE KEEP FOR VISIBILITY
your post saved my phone. I recently flashed a CM11 nightly (cm-11-20140211-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip), was forced to update my bootloader using "boot_CWM_I747MVLUEMK5" in order to do so (would get failed prop bootloader error), and when i booted the phone i lost all signal as well.
Lost IMEI, unknown baseband. Tried to inject IMEI to no avail all day, until i saw this post, with such a simple fix.
THANK YOU
Network is disabled!

You need to find a flashable modem for your phone. Then flash it with twrp cwm or what ever the custom recovery for your phone is.
This forum is for the Samsung galaxy S3 SGH-I747 and SGH-I747M. You should go to the galaxy note forum. I am sure there is some stuff in the development section or read some stickies and the search function is your friend.

X-Note 9.0 for 900T

OK guys, There is no way I am the only one with a 900T itching to get my hands on KK and X-Note 9.0. I am very new to the whole rooting android devices but I am quickly learning the ropes. I have been reading many posts were where this is available to the 9005 versions. I also know that the 900T and 9005 are almost the same phone with 900T being locked (temporarily) to TMobile. I have been searching the threads for the past week looking for the answer if anyone with a 900T has been able to install the Official Poland Version 4.4.2 on their 900T. As some help I have been emailing someone else with a T-Mobile phone that helps to specialize in hard bricked devices. I am including the emails and I hope to get this thread moving forward. If it is not possible I would like to see if there is a way to work the system to get us the X-note 9.0 upgrade.

Side note: What I am going to attempt is to install the Poland version of kk to my phone. It is for the 9005 model (which the tmobile device is). Tmobile phones can run 9005 roms with a few updates, but I am not sure about the kk upgrade.

Please do not flash another bootloader phone's model. it will hardbrick or IMEI number will be gone.
Until we get an official Kernel for 4.4.2 for Tmobile we wont be able to install it. I even tried it last night since I've used previous X-note editions in the past. Hopefully in a couple more weeks we'll have a kernel.

A few questions since I have spent a lot of time digging here in the threads.
1. Did you install the Official Poland 4.4.2 KK update?
2. Did you install the latest compulsion Kernel?

None of the 9005 roms will run on the N900T without a official KK kernel made for our device, I have done all the research, and it has the same issues that I went thru with Vision.

Axeman, Thank you very much for commenting on this post. I have seen your information alot dieingmy research. I have been attempting to gain traction on this topic. I do have a few questions.
1: is it possible to flash the official Poland KitKat version?
2: if it is possible, what are the risks that we are looking at?
I can see the problem with not having a custom kernel. Here is a link to one that I found earlier today.

There is a link in the q&a forum for xnote. This gives specific instructions for getting it to work on tmobile versions of the note 3. I tried on 4.3 and was successful and also on 4.4.2 successful as well. im aroma I just selected the uk version to flash. you probably already know this but I thought id post this for future reference for other members. this rom is real stable and has not gave me any issues whatsoever from version 11 to 13

The only thing I flashed through odin was the 4.4.2 bootloader for tmobile
Everything else was done through recovery
Tmobile version xnote 13
Civ version 2.1 kernel for tmobile note 3
And nfc wifi fix
I do recall reding along the threads somewhere that if you flash a non tmobile bootloader through odin you will end up with a fancy paper weight.

Samsung Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5220 build KOT49H.P5220XXUBOA2 - what to use to root?

Hello,
Ive spent the day just googling away about rooting this pda.
Ive found a lot of stuff but im afraid ill brick it if i choose the wrong option.
I got the build: KOT49H.P5220XXUBOA2
I was thinkig about following this guide with odin and CF-AUTO-ROOT but the build number they refer to is : KOT49H.P5220XXUBNH2 (as you see it has "NH2" in the end and mine got "OA2"
.....
Can someone please give me a helping hand?
Thanks in advance!
The best/safest way to root is to flash TWRP and then install SuperSU.zip file with TWRP.
I believe, a build as old as this, kingroot or kingoroot will root it.

Doesn't TWRP require a SDCARD ?
I do not have a separate sdcard at the moment, need to buy one.
Or am i confusing it wih something else?

TWRP doesn't require an external card. You will most likely be flashing it with Odin, so you will only need the file on your cpu. Also, if you get ahold of TWRP 3.0 or newer, it will give you the option to root the device.

You don't have to install a ROM. You can do that down the line if you get bored with the one you're on currently.
