Flashed this to the SGH-T889v (canadian version)
Got my signal back (it says no sim as it didn't before)
Problem is there is still no IMEI.....
Tried reflashing all components a few times but still nothing.
Is there no end to this issue!?!?!?
AARRGGH.
Checked all the Bell network APN settings...still says NOT REGISTERED TO NETWORK
Any suggestions?

Hey Shawn,
Wipe data then flash the Stock ROM, flash the flashable Modem.bin and you're all set my friend!!!

Im basically a genius.
I flashed my original rom to the t-mobile one and did NOT make a backup
Now i have a sgh-t889v with t889 rom
Ive tired everything including what adidas recommended but nothing...big NO SIGNAL and no IMEI
I msg'd someone who's got the exact phone as me but they have not replied. He's rooted so he should be able to make a full nandroid backup but no reply....

Hi, excuse me. Do you this modem note 2 T-Mobile can flash to N7100 international? So the result for N7100 can get 1700 Mhz freq using T-Mobile network service without EDGE??? Please answer my noob question. Sorry my english not perfect. Appreciate. Thank you.

No, you should not. Because international version does not support AWS 1700 band. You have been warned.

Thanks very much your information.

all you should need is a backup of someone who has your version's boot.img file....if you can get it, send it to me and i will create an odin flashable boot.img that will get you your imei back....i had to do the same thing for T-MO US variants....

Greetings all.
I rooted my sgn2 using the toolkit and installed TWRP.
Then proceeded to install Omega rom.
In TWRP, I wiped cache dalvik syetem, factory reset.
I now have my IMEI as unknown and I do not have a efs backup. Is there a way to restore my imei/efs partition? I have searched all of xda without a resolution. I seriously wished I backed up my efs partition.
Please let me know if there is anything I could do.
Thank you,
William

I have a CMW backup of the SGH-T889v from a brand new device which has all stock firmware and modem and all...
I took the backup and tried to restore on shawns phone however the Baseband still remains the same it wont change it....
I donno why it is happening i thought when you do a cmw backup it backs your modem and all....
Any suggestions?

I've seen this happen with the original note with "0" as the IMEI. i had to do a warranty swap.

So what I am gathering is that some people flashed a rom that was for the international note 2 and now they have no imei or signal is that about right? So was the rom posted in tbis fourm? Or did they just do something really stupid?

Ha your probally right. I havent gotten a chance to read up on this phone yet I worked 102 hojrs last week when I am not workin I am sleeping. But that is over now. One thing I noticed is it seems like samsung might have used one design for all the different carriers but I would assume that the software is still a little different than the international one.

hey i flashed this modem , also flashed to original stock rom, no luck i get imei as 0/00 and if i put sim card it shows searching
please helppppp thanx

Just bought note 2 - Have I broke it already!? Help please.

Hello,
So bought my note 2 from amazon, international version, sim free.
So i rooted it and fired a custom firmware on it.
Decided i prefer having the functionality of the s pen and wanted to reinstall the original f/w.
So managed to get an original samsung firmware (BTU) csc.
All is well on it apart from my sim card does not work in it (no service).
works fine in my old phone still.
It doesn't allow me to update it over the air and kies is a nightmare.
So im stuck with a tablet at the moment that I cant update.
I think I may not have the correct original firmware but I dont know how to determine which one will work!
Any input would be appreciated....
Thanks
Dan

You seem to have stumbled upon the problem introduced by Samsung in their newest kernels (they are used in newer ROMs).
The kernels cause IMEI number to not be recognised after flashing old firmware once the new one was installed. The only recourse is to root again and flash back one of the newer roms (Phoenix, Omega or Android Revolution will do nicely) or try to find original Samsung firmware for your region, but it has to be one of DM6, DF1 or DG1 at the end of the name and flash it using Odin.
Look here and remember to match your phone model number as well as firmware region.

Efs partition is where your phones unique identifiers like imei are stored. If it gets damaged or wiped and you have no backup then your phone is a brick, pure and simple.

Try and Flash an official dme6 or dmf firmware as per above poster. If imei is still blank then your phone is a brick.
I don't know why there are so many how to root blogs on the Internet and none of them tell you how to back up efs or why it's critical. It's a complete tragedy.
I've had to restore imei once to save my gs3. Was very lucky I'd flashed an omega rom earlier and the aroma installer asked me if I'd like to do a backup and told me it's important. I heeded the developers advice and backed up said files to drop box. Now I always do it immediately after rooting - all custom recoveries give an option to back up efs.
I hope it's not too late, it's sad for people to have to learn the hard way, best of luck.

Ive just read that if you flash the latest modem you should be alright. The post to guide you on this is by Dr Ketan in the original android development section.
I dont think your phone is bricked I think if you flash the very latest modem you should be alright. Just remember when flashing anything to your phone you should always make a nandroid back up first and copy it to your pc just in case for safe keeping plus a copy of efs folder. I hope for your sake you can sort this. And remember to read thoroughly all instructions before anything else. Look here and click the read this first it should help you..

Well I flashed the oldest note 2 rom I could find 4.1.1 and I have an imei number back!
Still won't connect to my phone network.
I does show networks now at least!
Emergency calls only.
So if I install the new modem on this old firmware would that work?

Could I just flash any of them? Even the Indian one?

I'd suggest you backup your efs before trying anything else.
Does your baseband version display now?
If you've already had your baseband updated to the new versions then you can't use it with Perseus kernel. The new modems are interdependent to the new kernels and Perseus hasn't been updated in awhile.
If baseband is newer one then you need an up to date kernel and flashing a newer firmware will obviously address this.

You have nothing to lose at the moment your phone is a semi brick. I think by reading Dr Ketans guide you will be able to get that phone working again. I take no responsibility from the following link but I think you need to give it a go. If you havent backwd up your efs folder than this link may help you. Id say download this latest modem and recovery and again I take no responsibility for your device.

Now Odin hangs on "setting up connection" so I can't root my phone to backup efs.

Lost my EFS files... Please can any one help me

Hi Guys..
please can any one help me
I lost my EFS files when i update my phone to Android 4.3 Leaked version (N7100XXUEMJ5), so when i reinstall official version of my phone (4.1.2) (N7100XXDMC3) the IMEI number changed to (004999010640000)
NOT: if i install leaked version 4.3 of android the IMEI works normally, but i need back to official version.
please can any one help me to solve this problem or can make a backup of his phone EFS files for me to restore it in my phone
finally I'm sorry about my English

I'm really sorry to be the one to tell you this but I'm pretty sure that since you lost your efs backup there is nothing anyone can do. Your efs is unique to every phone. Someone else's backup will not help you as that will make your phone's unique identifier no longer unique but the same as the person who sent you their backup. EFS contains your IMEI number.
Sorry

You should install the Android version on which you say your IMEI is normal and make a EFS backup.
You can safely use this tool to backup/restore your EFS after you flash the working ROM.
You can also use this APK form the Play Store to backup your EFS partition.
Most important, store your EFS backup somewhere safe!
Cheers!

Go to the original post and download the 4.1.2 dlk5 modem.. Flash it by cwm. And the imei will restore.
The reason that imei loses is that the baseband is not compatible with the current android version.

How to successfully fix “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue” for GT-N7100

hello every one
as the subject says if you soft brick your phone for whatso ever reason( and you are facing Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue on display when turning on,
then this solution might be very helpful for you
i was on 4.3 with MJ5 boot loader, made the mistake didnt checked the phone info and tried to downgraded the firmware caused my phone soft bricked
the worst thing i realized i didnt made any backup( even the EFS back up was lost)
in short the story is..
i asked couple of people for advise,
i tried following to bring my phone back
* Samsung Kies( recovery Modes by entering Device Serial Numbers and Model Name) Result: Failed, this device cant be upgraded/restored due to custom firmware
* Odin: 3.09 + stock firm ware ( 4.3 from O2uk and then 4.3 3 Uk) Result: failed, error message, missing PIT File
* Tried to find PIT File online but there are few places you can get stock 4.3 Firmware Extracted PIT File to flash) tried here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1927983, result failed
* then tried different firmwares ( European, French 4.3, UK 4.1 with and Without PIT file ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) but failed again, the ODIN 3.09 was not helping out here
I was about to give up here but then steff advise me to try and flash rescue firm ware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406 link but only 2nd firm ware ( not the 1st or 3rd, ) for some reason the 4.1 rescue firmware link is down,( download from here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs9wigflyrwp8ip/N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar)
Android - 4.1.2
PDA - N7100XXDLL7
CSC - MULTI XEF_N7100OXADLL4
RADIO - N7100XXDLK7
DOWNLOAD_N7100XXDLL7_FACTORY (2012-28-12)(
and steff helped me out with his drop box to upload the rescue firm ware ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/gfdh3mgbv34c3ti/N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar )
any way by extracing the rescue firmware 4.1, and doing PIT file flash with Odin 3.09 didnt worked either, so as per advise i changed the Odin 3.09 to 3.07( download from ( Odin 3.07 - XDA-Developers)
i was successfuly able to flash PIT ( done this number of times , at first flashed rescue firmware with PIT File, failed half way cause the PIT was flashed but firmware couldnt went through, then flashed rescue firmware 4.1 alone
stopped half way, again started in download mode and flashed it went through and finally phone booted up)
* NOw the IMEI was gone, tried to enter phone engineering screen to update the IMEI from GPR Service Menu but failed
* i flashed MJ5 boot loader to see if it works fine failed again.
* Finally i was told to flash Stock 4.4 KK which will remove all bugs from the phone and hope fully the phone will boot with correct imei
downloaded 4.4 from this link ( https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0) fast download, and flashed successfully , which bring my note back to life
everything works fine
* I tried to flash 4.4.2 direct to see if it works( both with Odin 3.09 and 3.07 before flashing rescue firm ware but this didnt work either
* IMportant Points:
Avoid flashing any rom/kernal unless you are sure what you are doing
* always keep a nand back up prior to any flashing
* always read good enough before you flash
* and even if you read enough and something went wrong, use your phone for parts and pay for the charity at the end
i hope this is simple guide for you to sort your bricked phone from the error'' firmware upgrade encountered an issue please connect with kies''
special thanks to smeet.somaiya , singhpratik87 , , Logel, nitol, and Specially to steff195 for providing all links up and running
this will save time and money to those who are out of warranty
thanks

Thatd what I did, I downloaded, a stock 4.4 And flashed it using Odin, let me tell you I was scared!

@tnt4ever I always have problem flashing any firmware, official or custom, either the imei goes corrupt or phone goes in emergency calls only. Can I flash this firmware to get out of the situation and get OTA update for 4.1.2, 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Thanks.

@tnt4ever my problem is this...
Guys I have been experimenting with a lots of custom roms, but flashing them only results in emergency calls only. My imei remains intact but mobile network does not work.
I have tried flashing Wanamlite v3.9, Phoenix 13, Omega 17-18, tried changing modems, ariza patch, restoring efs via terminal emulator and note 2 tool kit.
Right now I am on XXDLL7 and DDDMG1 (patched using Zuluman's modem patcher and it worked!!!)
I have successfully flashed 4.4.2 dn3 v5 with patched kernel, but due to some reasons I prefer 4.1.2, and would like to use any of the four aforementioned custom roms.
Please help. Thanks.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay...
Dunno if the link provided by ibraahim is efficient for anyone having a problem, if it does, it's fine by me, but when I had troubles months ago (because I ticked "Nand Erase All" option in Odin, thus corrupting my bootloader and messing up my phone) I tried all the solutions from this link and, as tnt4ever well remembered to specify in OP, only the 2nd firmware from that link worked. That file was the only one to contain all three required files to re-write the bootloader and related stuff (param.img, tz.img, sboot.bin), along with the .pit file, for re-partition. Ibraahim's file is the one from the 3rd file from that link, so I remember it didn't contain all those files. But, I repeat, according to your phone's problem, that firmware could be just fine to fix your problem. For me, it didn't.
So, as OP stated, the links are not available anymore, but I have the file on my pc and uploaded (again) to my Dropbox, if anyone needs it. The problem is that Dropbox doesn't allow excessive file download and thus the file may become unavilable for download (as it did before). So, the one(s) who get to grab the file, is more than welcome to mirror it.
N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar
Btw, tnt4ever: didn't you already have this file, since you downloaded and tried it, so you could upload it somewhere?

Hello steff
Thanks for your detailed reply
As I said I am travelling at the moment
I do have the file saved in my pic you provided and I didn't get time to upload it
Any way I will do this in the first instance this week as I have to travel for work during the week and long week caused a lot of work delays
Thanks for the help but if you can advise where I can mirror it easily would be nice.

@tnt4ever, I flashed the above ROM but I still have problem with imei.... it becomes 0049×××. What do you suggest now.
Actually I don't want to flash any 4.3 or above Rom. I do get everything working on 4.3 and above with patched kernel and modem. But I need to get 4.1.2 working without tripping imei or getting emergency calls only.
Can you please find a 4.1.1 rom for me. Please.

hello Ibrahim
i find it really funny but to be very honest once you flash stock 4.4.2( download and flash with doing 3.07) then your imei issue will be sorted
i used stock 4.4 for few days then i rooted the phone and went back on latest dn3 v5+ rom
anyway once you got your working phone then you can Do whatever you want ( rooting flashing any rom you wish)

[ROM] I747UCUFNE4_AT&T 4.4.2 Stock ROM & System Dump

I747UCUFNE4_AT&T 4.4.2
This project is abandoned by the developer
This is a completely stock rom, nothing has been removed.
Only changes include.
Root
Busybox
Permissions for ext. sdcard added for all apps.
Prerequisites include a minimum of a 4.3 bootloader and modem.
If you are not on the official 4.4.2 bootloaders and modem then you will need to flash ktoonsez kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
Directions:
1. Factory data reset
2. Flash ROM
3. If your still on 4.3 bootloader flash ktoonsez kernel immediately after the rom.
4. Let phone boot up, go through start up etc...
5. Open SuperSU, Let it disable Knox. If it gets stuck, press the home button and reboot the phone and try it again. It will work the 2nd time.
6. Nothing else to see here.
Flash in custom recovery.
Stock DeOdex
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934549032
Stock Kernel, insecure, init.d, sdcard R/W, selinux permissive

By all means you are all welcome to use the entirety of this and everything I upload without permission. Enjoy!

You have the cache.img? I made a zip yesterday for a tar and can zip this up to but wanted to check on the cache if you had it
I'm pulling it now to create the flashable zip but i don't have an s3 anymore so I'll need someone else to test it

Well.... I'm not sure how I can get the cache image. There is no cache.img or anything in the OTA. The only thing I could do is make an image from my phone after a data reset??? Maybe. This is one of the reasons why we were never able to make a 4.3 tar because of the missing images. Eventually someone found leaked files.
The Rom is complete as far as the system image goes. It's also rooted. So anyone can at least make a rom with the boot and system images.

Beat me to it haha but thanks man. Been looking to dev a TW rom and now I can stop archi after deodex and save some time. Running apps build so kitchen was moving SLOW anyway. Thanks again man. As I no longer hav the phone and doing this for community and my buddy do I need to do anything to kernel for AT&T 747?

Question. I'm on your mj2/mjb bootloader combo on S3Rx. If I flash this, will I be stuck not being able to revert back to 4.1.2 for any reason I may have? Or will you be doing a 4.4.2 S3Rx version?

is it possible to make a zip to add spanish language ?

There are no bootloaders in this ROM so your safe.

Hello enewman17, can you also make a de-odexed version of this rom?

So I have to flash this in the recovery and you are in 4.4??
