n7105 rom w tmo boot.img radio

has anyone tried flashing a n7100 rom with tmobile boot img and radio if so any luck? I had luck with the note one flashing tmo boot.img and radio to the at&t roms. I see someone got the 7105 rom working w multiview awsome it starts on page 2 or 3

takes a lot of courage on a $700+ device anyone up to it should get some donations, dont you think? It would be a great step onto getting the missing functionality of the device like the multiview and sidebar..

maybe

Okay here is what i did today,
Flash Stock N7100.tar via Odin, it Failed and my phone was't booting, so i had to flash Tmobile boot image to make it boot back to Tmobile rom...so that didn't work
Second download CWN stock N7100 rom and flashed it via cwn recovery, it boot but no Signal or IMEI.. Flashed Tmobile Modem still no signal or Imei, factory reset flash modem again still no signal so i gave up and Restored my phone from Nandroid and that's it
the reason i wanted to use N7100 rom my phone coz i want to tether but non of wifi tethering apps work on my phone.. usb tether works but i want wifi tether. so if anybody found a way plzz do share...
Also now i need to reset the counter of my phone i have 4 counts btw the triangle away which is made for N7000/N7100 doen't work with T889.

How did you get your usb tethering to work?

First of all any of you flashing a N7100 ROM are silly. Of course it won't work.
Now, on the other hand, if you flash a N7105, for which the hardware is pretty damn similar to the US versions, it might work, or at least the chances are way higher.
I compiled a kernel for T-Mobile users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33341226&postcount=557 but it hasn't been tested yet, if you're willing to give it a shot, please report back to me with feedback.

What are the Benefits of flashing this kernel Sir!

I flashed it from recovery just like any rom

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.

I hope you've managed to keep a backup of the EFS partition. It's really important that you do.

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.

[Q] What do I flash to get SGH-M919 working again?

Hi xda, I hope your Friday is going well.
EDIT: My calling problem was not fixed. I reflashed 4.4.2 NB4 Modem (twice to make sure it stuck) and the calling still does not work. Did something just completely fry when I had CM11 on this thing? Any ideas anybody? I don't even hear a dial tone if I am the one dialing out, the call still goes through though.
Everything below was my original post which has been resolved, didn't want to start a new thread though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR: My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 (SGH-M919) is unable to boot stock rom, and I am unable to enter recovery. I get seandroid messages trying to do either. Fortunately, the phone can enter download mode. What do I need to do or flash to get this phone booting again? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and help out.
Below is the long story with details:
1. The phone was given to me running stock Android/TouchWiz. Unfortunately, I do not know what version but I assume it was whatever was the latest version as of late April.
2. I rooted the phone using Odin and CF Auto Root.
3. I created a backup of this newly rooted stock rom.
4. I flashed Cyanogenmod 11
5. After a while I discovered that I could answer calls but I could not hear nor be heard during the call.
6. I restored to the stock rom using the backup I made in step 3.
7. The calling issue continued, so I figured I would just unroot and go back to like-new factory settings. This way I could take the phone in to be repaired or whatever.
8. Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392, I attempted to flash k0nane's UVUAMDL Official Tar
9. Odin got stuck connecting to my device, I believe it was because I did not run Odin as admin. I pulled the battery and repeated this step while running Odin as admin.
10. The flash was successful, however during the phone's first boot it got stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen for about 30 minutes or so. I pulled the battery again.
11. Anytime I put the battery back in the phone, it will attempt to boot and hang at the T-Mobile screen, I believe this is a boot loop?
Looking online, people suggest going into recovery and wiping but I cannot enter recovery. I just get the seandroid not enforcing messages. I'm very hesitant to keep looking through the forums and trying things because I feel like I'm on the edge of bricking the phone if I haven't already.

I don't think the flash was successful because it wouldn't give you those messages, and you would need to flash either 4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.2.2 (MDL) Try flashing a newer firmware version.. If it was updated to the newest then I would try 4.4.2

Ok so I flashed the wrong rom then. I hate to ask but where could I find a 4.4.2 stock rom? I just found a rom I believe will work but the file is titled "M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB" not sure if this is 4.4.2 or newer?

This is where I obtained the rom above that I wasn't sure was the newest.
I flashed this rom and everything worked, thank you both.
Any ideas on what happened with the phone call issue? My friend that gave me the phone said it was working just fine when she had it, so I assume somehow the rooting or CM11 screwed something up? Weirdly, calling through WiFi works just fine.

The only thing that can foul up your phone like that would be a bad cm flash or preflash, it's super important to read and read again, check the thread for support from members and resolutions to problems before you consider the build for your phone. Ask questions and double check everything before you take the plunge.
I assume that the calling problem is fixed, a corrupt modem may cause that and re flashing the modem will correct this.

I flashed the NB4 tar from sammobile twice, calls still not working. I feel like I'm not flashing the correct thing or something.
Using the Android System Info app, every entry has something in it except for Radio. It just says "Radio: unknown". Does this have anything to do with anything?

My friend gave the phone to me. She got an S5 and didn't want to bother with selling this S4 so she just gave it to me. It was completely pure and stock, with calls working. Something screwed up during the CM11 flash I guess.
WiFi calls still work, everything works except calls.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I flashed the sammobile NB4 tar twice via PDA in Odin as usual. For the modem, I flashed the modem bin via Phone in Odin twice. Thank you for your help, by the way.

New term for CM, "complicated maneuver" ,.
Reflashing firmware may do it. Can't hurt either.

I flashed both Fenny's firmware and a baseband he also provided. Did both twice, and calls are still not working.
I was doing some research on this whole "Radio: Unknown" thing and I started seeing threads talking about flashes corrupting the phone's EFS partition. I never made a backup of mine, so I have nothing to restore to. Is it possible that I could use someone else's EFS backup and then use it to restore my phone's EFS partition? Does it work like that?

No it will not work, this is device specific afaik.. Like I said earlier, I recommend you call T-Mobile for a replacement

Flashing modems and such with a custom rom installed often fails. Did you try doing a restore to full stock using Odin?
It sounds like the phoen has Android 4.4 on it already so you will need to flash the full 4.4 package (can't go back to 4.3 or 4.2)
Try and, boot hte phoen without modifying it, and see if calls work then.
The EFS thing is about the IMEI number. Does your device show an IMEI number in settings? If it does, your EFS isn't the problem. If it doesn't....well then yeah. Problem is pretty much narrowed down.

I have restored the phone to full stock and have been using it that way since I started this thread. Everything is just like fresh from the factory (except for the knox counter being tripped obviously). Calls still didn't work. An IMEI number still shows up the phone's settings. Using WiFi calling hasn't been that bad at all, but I'm screwed in the case of a real emergency with this thing.

[Q] T999v - TWRP (2.7.1.0 or older) “NO OS Found”

Hi All,
I have S3 T999v – Wind variant running on stock 4.4.2 , overall I hate this kitkat experience...
My issue is whenever I try to flash custom recovery TWRP (2.7.1.0 or older), it installs but when I try to take backup it shows nothing to take backup of (no System , no EFS etc....). When I try rebooting it gives error “NO OS Found” I am able to proceed anyways and it starts up phone fine.
Can anyone tell me what could be the issue here??? I wanna downgarde to either stock 4.3 or to install custom liquid smooth 4.4.4. but would prefer to take a back up just in case.
BTW my phone is rooted , rooted it with towel root.
Also can I flash T999 (t-mobile) based recoveries onto my T999v ?
Would appreciate your help :good:.
Thanks

I recommend using d2tmo recoveries over d2can. More roms will be flashable. And you can use any rom here in our forums.
For now, try using either cwm or philz recovery. Youre experiencing a known issue that I believe is related to the hardware revision. I keep hoping to attempt a fix, but just havent had time yet. But for now, one of the other recoveries should work for you.

Thanks buddy, yup CWM worked :good:
but why cant we downgrade to 4.3, i though it was that one cannot downgrade lower than 4.3 i.e. 4.2. in not possible now!

Knox. They prevent any downgrading to protect against tampering with Knox secure containers. You can't downgrade anymore, period. Anything beyond 4.3 or with Knox will be this way from now on.

Yeah just like doc said, if you're on 4.3 firmware you can't downgrade firmware to 4.1.2, or if you're on 4.4.2 you can't downgrade to 4.3 or 4.1.2.. Anything lower than your current firmware is a no.. You can only flash equal or newer firmware

Latest Modem and Kernel from COH4 update

Since I didn't see anyone pull the modem and kernel from the last stagefright update in Sept., thought I'd do it for the few of us that still have this old device.

Was there an OTA for T-Mobile? I'm currently on a AOSP Rom.

Yeah, but you need to be on a stock ROM to get the OTA, or you can download the whole ROM from sammobile.com. It's a security fix for stagefright. I just wanted to try the new modem and see if it made any difference. I won't be able to test the kernel, since I switch back and forth between a 4.4.4 TW ROM and 5.1 CM ROM.

Appreciate the info, have you notice better signal with the new radio?

Maybe a little better signal (?), but basically the same. Haven't been on it real long, I'll have to see if the standby improves after I've been on it a while.

Are you dual booting? Is it possible?

Warning, don't flash this modem. I did and it killed my baseband. I tried flashing 3 other roms which wouldn't even finish booting to my phone before I finally realized it and flashed my original modem back and all was working again.

Working fine on mine. Did you maybe get a bad download? You could maybe try downloading again?
Which modem did you go back to?

Flashed fine and so far no issues. Previous user might have a bad download or different device.

Flashed via TWRP today.. I had no service after reboot but did another restart and it was working.
Don't know if its any better than the previous modem version but will give it a try. thx

Working great here no issues

You caused the problem when you altered the stock ROM. From your thread about it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile/help/recent-tmo-ota-update-bricked-wifes-t3245890), you said "Had her note 2 with stock 4.3, Rooted it last year to titanium backup and uninstall a couple bloatware apps. " This is what caused your problem. It was no longer a stock ROM when you remove apps. I know it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but it is, and you found out unfortunately

That's kinda what I was thinking had happened.
I suppose I shouldn't blame the OTA. I just noticed someone else had issues with it too.

so to the people that actually flashed this new modem and kernel, is it working better than previous iterations?

question:
I flashed the C0H4 modem on note 2 (nameless lollipop rom) seems ok...
DO I have to also flash the Kernel ? is there an advantage to flashing the kernel? thx

Hello! Thanks for this! I flashed this over TWRP 2.8.7.1, and wiping my dalvik cache. My phone's originally T889UVALK8 (16gb SGH-T889 t0ltetmo) and the signal drops but after flashing this (C0H4) the signal greatly improved, although I'm having some signal instability since I'm supposed to have full bars because my house is just in line of sight, 2km from the tower. Also I think I'll do a clean install of another custom ROM since I'm using the CM12.1 t0lte nightly, and maybe this affects my signal (I know I'm stupid for doing it but it works).
Welp. After rebooting, the phone lost signal again. I have to do a wipe of dalvik cache to restore my signal. I guess I'll try using another ROM instead.
Upodate: I may be experiencing hardware issues. I have yet to flash back to stock since my phone's signal drops. I can't flash the firmware because it says 'zip signature verification failed.'

It's just the ROM I flashed that makes it say that. That ROM is in my signature... DN4
