SGH-T889V ( Canadian Wind Mobile version) NEED HELP PLEASE

Hello Forum,
I've had the pleasure to brick my 889v and had it restored with a T-Mobile ROM. Long story short, i've lost my IMEI number.
I've tried reflashing the stock(Tmobile) rom but no luck.
I've tried the modem fix but still nothing. The signal bars are there but they eventually dissapear saying the phone is not registered on the network and for good reason since there is no IMEI.
Can someone PLEASE post the full T889v rom as i know there are a few users who have it?
I've tried msg'ing a couple of people with no luck.
I'm really stuck and would appreciate some help please.

This worked for me:
First you need to download the stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957209
Then make sure you wipe data then flash the ROM. Then download the flashable Modem.bin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957380 then flash in CWM like you flash the stock rom.
Hope this helps!

haha.. Shawn, i didn't realize this was you!! Also sent ya a PM! let me know how it goes mate!
Addis

LOL yeah it's still me crying about this.
Only thing i can think of now is that all these roms and fixes are for the t889 and not specifically for the t889v.
The model number in the phone shows up as a T889 when it's actually the T889v. This all happened when i got over exicted and flashed the t-mobile rom
I'm so stressed out about this!! I'm having to use my wife's blackberry for now.... :X

Anyone?
Just need a full nandroid rom for the 889v.
Please someone help me before i go back to blackberry..

Shawn,
I am sorry to hear that you still have issues until now. I have the same model as you. I dont know how to back up my phone to what you need. Do you know how to do it? Where are you located? I am downtown Toronto by night and mississauaga by day. Let me know if you want to meet up live and help me do that for you.

Now isnt T889V same as T889 hardware wise? How was T889V got bricked by flashing T-mobile ROM?

The phone now has proper t889v rom restored. Problem was that imei went 0 and no data. The imei was re-injected qpst, but only edge 2 - no 3g or H+ data.
Any help or guidance would be a million bucks right now.
Thank you in advance.

I too am having the same problems with my Mobilicity Samsung Galaxy Note II...
I think like most newbies I tried to flash a custom rom on my brand New T889v and of course as luck would have it I ****ed it up... I think royally...
I've tried flashing back the stock rom through odin but I get stuck in a boot loop.. (every time it gets to the Samsung logo) and trust me I kept it on all day till it drained my battery just doing that....
No when I flash a custom rom, I get to boot up and but I can't register on the network... I just see a circle with a line through it we,here my signal bars should be. When I go to network setup it says I can't access network services as sim card is not present. (the sim card is in there...)
SOME ONE... PLEASE HELP ME...

Nandroid backup
I'm wondering whether sending a NANDROID backup of my device would expose my saved passwords from chrome, wifi passwords, and all kinds of aother goodies to the person who restores it?

[Q] No Service - Insert SIM card. Does not recognize SIM after Root with custom ROM

Rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note ii (SGH-I317)
Installed custom ROM and now get no service.
Upon checking Settings -> Mobile Network
It says: INSERT SIM card Insert SIM card to access network services
About Devices has all the correct information except:
Baseband version says: UNKNOWN
How do I fix this?
Did my SIM card somehow and need to get a new SIM and call AT&T to reactivate another SIM?
My guess is that I would need stock ROM image to fix this but cannot find it.
I did find Stock Rooted I317UCALJ2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986556)
image but still no Service.
Any help would be appreciated as my phone is a BRICK now and useless.
thanks

i have the exact same problem and can't seem to find an answer...
restore stock rom and still nothing...

did you flash a ROM & Radio for the international Note II (N7100 or N7105)? check your phone for an IMEI number; if it's not there, then you'll have to fix that first. you aren't the first to have this problem and i've read other posts where users were able to correct the problem.

I like how no one responded for 2 months.
Worst case scenario flash stock and triangle away to 0 flash counter amd take it back. Lol. Say it stopped working.

Your comment makes a lot of sense... I'm running root on stock and didn't have a problem. I've recently installed CMW thru Odin which I'm pretty sure I did right but then...I installed a kernel to be able to overclock... could the kernel have mess up my radio? I'm not able to pull up my imei... Can you point me to the right directions in order to restore my stock Rogers kernel?

I have been here. Installed the CrashRom which was probably not meant for 1317s. Though I loved the ROM, my model number was displayed as 7100, IMEI was null and mobile network would display insert sim message.
If you watched the installation of the rom.. you would have noticed that at the end it rewrites your modem/radio files. Thankfully even after a wipe, the all important NV folder was there.
I was able to find the original AT&T rom at stockroms and also the original modem files for the 1317. I did a full wipe and installed this rom back..and thankfully the radio was back online. Didn't have to flash the modem. Now with a working phone, I wanna read well before I flash my rom again.
Hope this helps. Though I am a newbie.. If you need any further information.. feel free to send me a message.

If you look in the development section in the All in One forum link, there is a link to the stock rogers ROM and radio.
I don't know if you have done this but it hasn't been mentioned in the post so I thought I would mention it.

I had the same happen to me. The radio just quit. I had a circle with a slash through it. I Odin flashed the stock tar and no luck in fact it got worse and I had to get phone replaced. I have a ton of flashing experience and this was a first for me. I think like someone mentioned above it was a mix match ROM with some pieces from the international version although it was posted as an AT&T ROM. I still have to send it back but after seeing that someone above fixed theirs I am sending a PM

Yeah that's exactly what happened to me, lol, installed the CrashRom. But thanks to this failure of epic proportions, I've learnt so much and I've succeeded in restoring my Rogers modem files
Now I got my nandroid backup, and if I mess up again, I got my Rogers stock ROM, radios, and kernel with me at all times

I know from past experience using ODIN for the Droid Charge, we had to pull the SIM before flashing. People were getting their SIMs fried sometimes. The remedy was to remove until the flash was complete. Avoid touching the contacts though.

I wanted to bump this as I am having the same issue. I tried using Odin to reinstate the stock rom and radio and still nothing.

So this happened to me and after I unrooted and factory reset I had no luck, called Att and got a new one. But I don't know why it stopped reading my sim, it. Worked in my iPhone 5. Strange

can u give any links to these forums, yes i install n7100 rom on my i317 and yes i don't have a imei.

Well my friend ...I've got to tell you up front ...that the likelihood of getting your device repaired on your own is remote at best...
You have damaged the device partitions ...and likely do not have a usable backup of the EFS folder..
The EFS contains the IMEI number used for restoration purposes...
I'm not going to tell you that a repair cannot be done..as a select few users were able to fix a bricked device...but I will suggest your best solution ...IMHO
Contact the good folks at :
mobiletechvideos.com
And let them know what you did..
They offer a complete restoration service to repair your device correctly ...and can likely do the job in about a week...
They are located in Texas, USA I believe ...and they have an excellent reputation for quality service...
Your choice of course...but if I were in your situation...I'd send the device to them in a second...
Time is money...at least for me...and although I could probably fix it...I don't have a RIFF BOX...or a JTAG ...
Others will post up with links to help you...and after you have a chance to look them over ...you can decide..
Very sorry for the damaged phone....g

Can you still see this thread? It says invalid thread specified for me.
I've been looking for this problem for almost a month and almost every xda thread link people post is dead.
Been stuck on Edge for almost a month, so finding these links that supposedly solve everything and then seeing they are not accesible to me is very frustrating. :/

are you sure you flashed the right stock rom? Stupid question but it's always best to check. And did you get your phone from Metro or did you unlock it?

Try flashing any rom (like Cyanogenmod) and then use any of the many methods to re-unlock your phone to Metro and see if that helps.

If your IMEI shows 0, no amount of flashing will help you. You must restore you IMEI to have data working again. If you backed up your IMEI or EFS folder your set, just restore it.

I have tried putting cyanogenmod on it but am back on a stock ROM at this point. I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do.
The phone boots fine, looks all normal but I just can't get on the mobile network(tried multiple SIM's).
I am really hoping you can help!

Does your phone display the correct imei when you dial *#06#??

It does, it shows my IMEI with a /5 at the end.
At this point, I am running I747MVLUEMK5_I747MOYCEMK5_BMC
I also do show cellular signal but can't seem to connect. When I scan wireless networks, I pick nothing up.
Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Is the phone blacklisted?

I don't think so, how can I verify that? I did buy it used just over a year ago and it only broke about a month ago?

You can check your imei here: http://www.protectyourdata.ca/check-the-status-of-your-device-in-canada/

All clean on there!

You've had the phone for a while so I didn't think it would be blacklisted.
Since you have the 4.3 bootloader, you need to have a compatible modem and, from my experience, only the mk5 modem will work.
Did you use Odin to flash back to stock?

Yes, that is how I put the current stock firmware on it. I had cyanogenmod on it at one point...

I am at a loss as to why you cannot connect to a network. Which carrier do you want to connect with?
