E971 update V20D?

Hi all,
I just noticed that there seems to be an update for the Rogers version of the Optimus G...seems to be named V20D. Any thoughts? I can't seem to update to it (get an error) and I've tried un-rooting as well as re-locking, and still get "Err: 0x13e"
Any helpful suggestions are appreciated!

Tried KDZ back to stock and upgrade or perhaps KDZ install it directly if you can get it?

Thanks, that does indeed work (KDZ to stock then upgrade), but I was hoping to preserve current settings if possible...any other suggestions?

update:
Although root is lost and bootloader is back to stock, it seems flashing the 1GB KDZ over top my current settings works and almost everything seems fine so far.

I've been trying to find a change log for this update but have been unsuccessful. Anyone?

nope, i couldn't find one either. the only thing i noticed other than the software version change is that under "About phone" there is now a "Regulatory and Safety" section.

I was only rooted and it seems to have kept root after the update. Still don't know what it changed besides the about section

To me, it seems as if standby battery life has improved.

n7100 error" not registered on a network"

Hey everybody, Hope u r all doing well..
Here is my problem
I installed leaked rom 4.3 through odin on my N7100 device and was working well
then it started to be slow so I flashed 4.1.2 rom via odin, and found that my imei has been changed to strange one with a message not registered on a network
I searched the forum and figured out that flashing xxdme4 modem will resolve the problem
So I flashed this modem through recovery and the IMEI turned back to the correct one, but still not registered on a network
Things I tried
flashed 4.1.1 stock rom, changed the imei
flashed xxdmb5 rom , changed the imei
installed Ariza Patch on 4.1.2 , it makes my imei 009444 and corrupted it with no network
flashed xxdme4 Modem, it makes my imei correct
also xxdmf1 modem, makes my imei correct
I returned back to 4.3 , the imei is correct and also not registered on a network, I cant make calls
I flashed the new modem of the leaked 4.3 xxuemj5 on 4.3 rom, Also not registered on network but imei is correct
I flashed criskello custom rom 4.1.2, The imei is correct but also not registered..
Here Is the Strange part, when I call the sim in my n7100 from another phone, It rings as it is working, but I have nothing on the screen. also when I turn off my n7100, and call it , it is said that it is turned off. also the signal bars increase and decrease according to the area am moving in.. So I assume that this is not a hardware problem
also I thought to go to warranty , so I flashed stock ddmc3 rom, but the imei changed and when I flash xxme4 modem it is back, and I reseted the flash counter. but the modem is not corresponding to the rom, so it will be refused at warranty, and I cant install higher roms, cuz this is the latest rom for the region Egypt, where I live.
The Sim card is working in other phones, Also I tried many simcards
So I have a working device with 4.1.2 Stock rom and Xxdme4 modem, my imei is correct, baseband and everything
Sorry for ur time reading this, But to make everything Clear..
thanks in advance

Hey there... I actually faced a similar problem with the galaxy s3...similar symptoms.. .sane strange behaviour. ...except that my imei was altered.... I couldn't do anything to rectify it...as I hadn't backed up es folder....If you have backed it up...It may work if you restore it.....I made my s3 by sending it to a repair center...not samsung....and they fixed it....hope this helps...sorry about your phone

thanks for your reply,, I don't have efs backup.
Also My imei is Correct, it it Not Altered.
I am sure it is a software problem and I really need a solution
hope someone will help me.
Is there anyway to completely delete everything, repartition the device and start all over ??

If your imei is correct then use ariza patch it will fix your problem

Thanks for trying to help. But i think u didn't read what i have done above.. my imei is correct with modem xxme4 and when i install ariza. It alters my imei. So ariza generate fake one and doesnt work

Any help??

Not Registered On Network
I am facing the same issue... flashed the Leaked 4.3 jelly bean leaked version bu somehow Wi-fi was not working. So i tried switching back to old 4.1.2 jelly bean. And since tehn I'm facing this issue. And after looking for some solution i came accorss this section on XDA... and realized my IMEI no. has also changed as you mentioned above...
I have no solution to this issue... just guessing because I read somewhere 4.3 comes with region lock feature and once installed you cannot switch back to the previous verison of Android OS... Can this be the issue... ??
If thats the case then I am assuming re-flashing leaked 4.3 should fix it but you mentioed above even that didnt wokrk.
I havent tried anything yet to fix it... downloading the most recent official 4.1.2 jelly bean rom (N7100XXDMG1) available for my region and see how it goes... Though I'm not very positive about it as you have already tried this...
Is there any one who can help us out.. ??

Not Registered On Network - FIXED
Hi,
I re-flashed the Old Stock Jelly Bean, the one I already had on my system (N7100XXDLL4_N7100ODDDLL2_INU). Even after flashing it I was getting the same error as mentioned above and then came across another page on XDA which mentioned about this issue...
I tried installing the relevant modem for my phone rom and region which fixed it... may be the modem that you have flashed is not relavant for your region and rom. You can go through the link and see what I am talking about.... It kinda worked for me...
I flashed Modem DDDMG1 and it got fixed )

I tried xdme4 modem , it restores imei on 4.1.2 but still not registered on network

I had been thru the same problem. I flashed a prerooted 4.1.2, rooted it again as it was giving some error, and then patched ariza. I have done this several times as I have been constantly trying to flash 4.3 which always resulted in emergency calls only, once I lost imei after patching ariza, so I flashed. DLK7 or DL7 modem forgot the actual name but you can search by my name to find that post. I have already posted about the working modem.

Sorry to hear that it didnt work for you.... Seems like you are not getting the correct modem file for your region & Rom, the only thing that I can think of right now is to check with your friend who owns Galaxy Note 2 and can extract the Modem file using the method mentioned in the link i shared earlier :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937
And use this file to flash on your Note2. Also, confirm the status of Note 2 of your friend whether it is locked by some carrier/network provider or Factory unlocked, should be same as yours (Not really sure if that can cause any issue but just want to avoid any further issues that might crop up).
All The Best.
Thanks!

efs restoring query??
hello everyone, i ve a efs backup, backedup wen im running on 4.3 (xxuemj5). is it possible to go back to 4.1.2 (N7100XXDMB2) and restore tat backup (backed up on 4.3)? i had a prob (" not registered on a network") last time wen i went back to 4.1.2.
thanks in advance-

Some times we have to replace the SIM card.
When IMEI becomes invalid the service provider blocks the SIM card.
Try your SIM card in some other phone before replacing it.

dear bro.
i had the same problem with my n 7100 i hope this ll work with u
flash stok 4.3 rom n7100zsuemk3 u ll find it at samsung-updates.com hongkong rom
u ll still have not registerd network
flash this modem n7100ddemj9 for android 4.3 i think u ll have to root ur devaice and disable knocks
google this (GT-N7100_ModemMJ9) u ll find it
this worked for me but with this modem u ll get poor signal than other devices . its better than nothing any way .

Dr Ketans roms has an option to fix the network issue in aroma instaler of his rom, can you try with this.. Or other option, if you want to return to the 4.1.2 try flash the rom 4.1.2, install a custom kernel, apply ariza patch and them apply an efs restore.

[Q] Not registering on Network / Wrong IMEI after flashing stock 4.3

Hi, I have just flashed Rooted Note 2 on 4.3 to the latest stock ROM which I downloaded from the SamMobile and now it will not register on the network.
The new version I flashed was the same as the old as i found it with the CSC N7100BTUEMK2 on sam mobile.
I checked the IMEI and it says 00499010640000 in status menu which is different from the one under the battery.
I did not perform a backup of anything as I was not worried about losing any data.
Any ideas what has happened to it and how to get the IMEI correct again?
I understand this is something to do with an efs file but in what way it has become faulty from flashing the same rom I cannot decipher
Any help much appreciated! :good:

From my experience:
1) Reflash the ROM.
2) Flash a custom ROM.
Both worked for me.
N7105 rocking AOSB with AGNi kernel,
Click "Thanks" if I was of any help!

Thanks, I have reflashed the current 4.3 rom UEMK9 and a slightly older UEMK4 with a DEMJ9 radio.
I have tried lots of radios - DM3, XXDME4, XXMI6, XXMJ5, XXMJ2, and some other modem.bin
From what I understand its when you go from newer to older roms that you get IMEI problems, so its prob useless to try pre 4.3
Its all a bit confusing to me and which rom has which radio seems like an arcane mystery.
It is quite possible that I flashed a same version 4.3 rom but my old radio was different and not knowing it was such a minefield on Galaxy phones I never checked that or bothered with a back up.
I may have to resort to paying the people at unlocksamsung online £26 to reset my IMEI
Can anyone tell me, is it just the radio that causes the IMEI problem and should I just trawl through flashing radio zips until my IMEI comes back so I can save the efs file?
BTY everything else seems ok SN is correct and wifi works fine, I just can't get on a network without my correct IMEI
Thx

i also have the same issue on my note 2 gt-n7100 and now phone does no respond to the touch post rooting and all..i am tired of rooting and unrooting the phone like 100 times allready and now my phone is stuck in loop

No Sim detected after flashing Custom ROM

Hey guys... Been a LONG time since messing with an S3, and I don't want to brick it... SO, figured I'd reach out and ask before doing anything...
I downgraded a friend's S3 to UVDLJC to sim unlock it and it seemed to work fine on stock ROM. I then rooted the rom, flashed TWRP and factory reset the device and then flashed a custom ROM (this version is SlimKat but I had tried CM13 as well.. both have the same issue, no SIM detected)...
Anyway, I assume that it is a modem/radio issue and I should just be able to flash the modem firmware and be fine.. Problem I'm having is I'm not sure what to use... The phone is a T-999L Which, as I understand it, is the LTE GS3, but the software that was on it was based on the non LTE version (not sure if I'm correct about this)...
Anyway, looking to get this phone working for the friend's daughter (it was supposed to be a christmas present )...
Any and all help is appreciated.
Additional Info:
Phone model is T-999L
Boot loader is T999UVDLJC
Build version reports 4.4.4
Rom is currently SlimKat
Unified tools reports model as SGH-T999, type as d2tmo
Not sure what other info can help, but happy to provide.

Odin'ed back to LJC original firmware... still shows no Sim card.

The latest custom ROMs require the latest bootloader and modem to function properly so the phone probably needs an update. Once the phone is running a 4.3 or higher bootloader means the bootloader cannot be downgraded in the future.
I don't see the LJC firmware for the T999L: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T999L/
I see LJC for teh T999: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T999/

Yeah, I'm thinking the phone is a T999, not a T999L. In my best estimation, the motherboard was swapped to a T999L case/screen. The sticker shows T-999L, the phone reports T-999. Additionally, under settings, the IMEI differs from the IMEI reported on the sticker. (Neither He, nor I was the original owner of the phone... so who knows it's history... For all I know, I really am working with a T-999L and someone flashed a different IMEI (worst case scenario I guess).
Is there any way to know for absolute sure? and should I go ahead and just flash 4.3? is there any downside to doing it other than that the boot loader can't be rolled back afterwards?

Personally, I would go by the model # shown with the phone in download mode.
Did it ever detect a sim card after unlocking restoring to stock?

It detected a sim when we got it (on 4.1.2), it detected a sim when i downgraded to 4.1.1, it detected a sim when i unlocked the sim, it did not detect a sim after flashing CM13, it did not detect a sim on SlimKat, and now it does not detect a sim after 4.1.1 (flashed via Odin) (LJC) and Download mode shows T-999 (NOT T-999L).

Correct and correct.

This is bizarre because I don't understand why it would suddenly stop working. Did it say SGH-T999 on the download screen before flashing to 4.1.1?
I assume the stock ROM boots without issue?
Also try this: download and install the Samsung Phone Info from the play store to confirm the bootloader and baseband currently on the phone.
When flashing from a custom ROM to stock 4.1.1, did you perform a factory wipe?

Stock rom boots without issue...
Yes i did a factory wipe between flashes. (Although, first flash of CM13 I did not, it ran weird, i rebooted, factory reset, flashed again then it worked fine minus the sim card issue).
Phone Info confirms SGH-T999, type: d2tmo
Boot loader: T999UVDLJC, Baseband: T999UVDLJC

Not sure what else to suggest other than reflashing the LJC ROM and performing a factory wipe from stock recovery before the phone's first boot of LJC.

Nope...no go.

Hmm, I'm out of suggestions because you did everything I would do other than either flashing the latest stock 4.3 since the phone is now sim unlocked or running OTA updates. on a stock ROM.
The sim card in the phone works properly in another phone? Is it possible the sim reader was damaged in some manner? I know it can happen when using micro/nano sim card adapters.

Oh... adapters is a good suggestion. Yes, when I originally unlocked the phone, I used an adapter as my sim is a nano sim... Whats the damage look like? and is it fixable? I'm assuming just bent pins?
Is flashing an LTE Rom a possible solution? or is that a hard brick result?

You could try flashing TWRP and an older build of CM that will work with a 4.1.1 bootloader and modem just to see if the sim card is detected.
The metal housing on top of the sim pins is difficult to remove so it may be easier to just buy a replacement sim/sd card reader.

The metal housing on top of the sim pins is difficult to remove so it may be easier to just buy a replacement sim/sd card reader.

The posts aren't real specific... do you know which CM is 4.1.1 friendly?

I would try the latest cm10 or cm10.1.

Sorry for the delayed response... Yes, I finally got it to recognize (last night) ordered a new sim card tray.. interesting way to mount it by the way...
Anyway, seems as if the guess at the adapter damaging the original was correct... new one seems to be good to go.

g3 D581 Service Disabled after downgrade to KitKat. How can I restore it?

Hi all
I followed this guide to downgrade my Android OS from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2 http://www.androidexplained.com/downgrade-lg-g3/. I did everything as suggested, used LG Flash with the D581 BIN and DLL files. The downgrade worked and I was able tto root the phone.
However, when I put in the SIM card, it says service is disabled. The card works fine (using it now on another phone), and it worked in that phone when it wad Lolipop, so it must have been the downgrade. I also checked the imei on the Tmobile site and it's fine too.
What can I do to repair it? What should I download? I'm pretty inept when it comes to all these processes, but I really want to fix this, having the phone working and rooted. I'd really appreciate any help. Even just getting it back to Lolipop would be great. Or would flashing a.custom ROM, like Cyanogenmod, end up fixing the SIM.card situation?
Thanks so much!
