Earlier today, i was going to install drivers for chainfire3D on my 4.1.2 stock rom on my N7100 international.
After the drivers installed my phone got stuck in the welcome screen (the first one that shows up after starting the phone).
It should be said that I'm pretty new to rooting, flashing, etc. But of course I wouldn't let that, or any number of warning messages during the installation stop me.
So my question is, how do I do (if possible) a full factory reset? I can't get the phone connected via Kies, naturally, and I can't find a firmware file for my region (Norway).
If I could find a firmware file for my region, could I just install it via Odin? If so, where can I find one? Closest I've come is a Greece firmware on samsung-updates.com

Hello,
I'm trying to downgrade my Canadian Note 2 (SGH-i317M) from 4.3 back down to 4.1.2 but I'm having some issues.
First off, the Sammobile.com firmware site doesn't even have the file available anymore. I tried getting it for Virgin Mobile, but it says the file isn't found so I guess they deleted it off their servers. Since it should be exactly the same for any of the 3 carriers and their subsidiaries I tried flashing a Telus version and a Bell version but both failed to flash in Odin.
After the failed flash I get the yellow firmware failed text screen and it telling me to do an emergency recovery in Kies, which of course I can't do.
So, does anyone know why the flashing is failing?
Thanks

Looks like you have to do the battery pull/boot into recovery/factory reset steps described in the thread linked above.
I have the same problem. I have i317m though. I got 4.1.1 but can't get rid of the modified status, nor will it accept 4.1.2. Done that how to 5 times. Darn knoc had to mess up the fun.
Try installing 4.1.1 via odin
I have a 9195 running 4.2.2 stock. it was under the EUR csc and I tried to install a 4.4.2 through odin but it failed and now my phone is bricked. kies won't recognize it and it keeps turning when I insert it so I cant emergency recover the firmware. trying to download my old one but its not on sammobile anymore and its taking hours to download from this other random website I found. any clues as to why I couldn't flash it? does it have to do with my CSC? I was on EUR and I was trying to flash a branded one. but the brand is the my phone carrier and even though I dindt get it from them I figured it'd be okay

i wouldn't suggest to flash branded ones for non branded phones but anyway, you could try flashing mine from the unbrick/downgrade guide.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751224
make sure to follow the guide completely

This is what i do when it appears to say failed, i flash a stock recovery that should be in the attachments added to this post, put your phone into download mode, connect it up, wait for odin to see our device, then load the recovery into odin and hit start then it should restart and be in 4.4.2.

Just watch what your doing next time :laugh: Glad you got it sorted.
Hey,
So I had a friend ask me to unlock her S3, no biggie, I did it with another one (That hadn't been updated and was running 4.1.1 or something)
Following instructions online, I tried to upload a .md5 file via Odin but had the wrong version of Odin, and it failed to load. Now my download screen is showing SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 1 > Binary 0
As well, turning the phone on only results in "There was a problem updating the Firmware. Please run recovery mode in Kies."
Which is all fine and dandy, except Kies doesn't connect to the phone. It freezes on "Connecting..." and does not go any further.
Any help? I found another thread about it and am trying to use philz through Odin 3.07 and then flash through an external HDD the CM11.
Do you remember what stock ROM was on the phone before you used Odin?
Does the download screen say anything about warranty bit?

No clue.
Says Warranty Bit : 0
This five minute thing is a tad annoying...
Would be good to note, it is still under Warranty, and samsung offered to have it sent and fixed, however the phone is kind of needed ASAP.
I'm pretty tech-saavy, but I use Apple products generally and this is a touch foreign to me.
Odin failed to write Philz, just says WriteFail
This leads me to believe that the phone has least a 4.3 loader on the phone; therefore, you cannot unlock the phone using the free method as there is no way to get the stock 4.1.1 modem on your phone.
Is it an i747 from ATT? If it is, there is no stock ROM that can be flashed in Odin to restore the phone as ATT never released a full firmware flash for 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Any warranty left on the phone?

She doesn't even care if it's unlocked anymore, as long as we can get it working again.
I'm in Canada, so I'm assuming it is AT&T.
I believe the old OS was Jellybean 4.3. There is warranty, however she doesn't want to wait the length needed for that.

Wait, you have an i747m or i747? Big difference as cross-flashing the bootloader could hard brick the phone.

Are you sure? Is that what it says at the top of the download screen? If it does, this is easier to fix.

"odin mode"
product name : Sgh-i747m
You can download the full firmware for the phone from sammobile.com. Search for the sgh-i747. The search results should inlcude the 4.3 and 4.4.2 firmware for the i747m. Make sure you match the firmware with the carrier.
If the phone had the 4.4.2 ROM, you cannot flash the 4.3 ROM.

I'll assume there's no way to check, should I try one before the other? Will doing so screw it up further?
How much warranty is left on the phone? I'm asking because there are different ways to restore the phone.

I'm not overly sure when she purchased it.
Samsung support said the IMEI was still covered by Warranty and to just send it in, but if there's a way to do it today I would like to.
Well, to be as safe as possible, you could try flashing the 4.4.2 Kit Kat ROM from sammobile for her carrier. You may have to register to download the ROM.
Who is the carrier?
Koodoo is her carrier, i'm download both the 4.3 and 4.4.2 at the moment.
So try the 4.4.2 first?
If you go with the 4.4.2 and it flashes properly, you will not be able to go back to 4.3. I recommend using Odin 3.07.
If you try to flash 4.3 and it fails, this tells me you probably have the 4.4.2 bootloader and modem on the phone.
Whenever you flash a ROM, there is always the possibility that something will go wrong. Just be prepared to deal with any possible issues. Don't panic, we're here to help.
When using Odin, do not check anything except F.Reset Time. When you see the word Reset in the status windows, disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery, boot into recovery, wipe cache and data, reboot the phone.

Okay. So going to test with 4.4.2 once it's done downloading.
I had Auto Reboot checked before. When I turn on the phone, I can either set it in Downloading... mode or the error screen, I have absolutely nothing else. Is that the recovery screen I should be using?
To use Odin, you must boot into download mode.
When the file downloads, open Odin, connect the phone in download mode, click on the PDA button, browse to the downloaded 4.4.2 file, select it, click start.
How long does it sit on ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
Before it says reset? I'm attempting this with 4.4.2 under PDA with only F. Reset Time checked.
Hello! Now, I am a new member, And solely for one reason..
I AM UNABLE TO FIND A MODEM FLASH FOR 4.1.1 BASEBAND I317MVLUDNH2
Now, I have searched EVERYWHERE, and, all the Rom's are for the I317, and if it is for the I317M, I am unable to download for some odd reason.
Now, Here are the links i've searched through (Just incase I missed something)

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...317-att-samsung-galaxy-note-2-on-jelly-bean-4 (links back to first link)
So, I am basically out of ideas. All i want to do is DOWNGRADE to 4.1.1, unlock the phone through the hidden menu, Then go back to 4.4.2. (Since i got the phone from a friend, and am currently using a rogers [Well, More of a Petro-Canada] Sim...)
So, Would I be okay using that Rogers flash? With Phrilz OR TWRP?? Or how would i go about this???
FIGURED IT OUT!!!
Okay, Here is a rundown on how to do it:
1. First download TWRP https://twrp.me/Devices/
2. Download the ROGERS Modem firmware http://d-h.st/rJq
3. Download Odinhttp://androidhost.org/get/PVAIv
4. Enable USB Developer Mode
5. Put the Phone into Odin download mode (Shutdown. Hold down Power+Volume Dwn+home. When the Bootsplash shows, Let go of Power button. Press Volume Up
6. Open Odin on your computer, browse to the TWRP .img (if you haven't already unzipped it, Do so) In the PDA section
7. Hit start, Wait till it is finished
8. Now, Open the phone directory in your windows manager thats built into the OS.
9. Drag the .zip into your main phone directory ( / )
10. Shutdown the phone, Hold power+Volume Up +home. Do it until bootsplash is done. (same as step 5)
11. In TWRP, select backup, then backup the MODEM folder. (I honestly forgot this step, If you have. There is links for the original baseband.)
12. Once that is backed up, You can either upload it to your desktop (i'd recommend doing that) Then, Open install, Browse for the .zip for the MODEM, then flash.
13. The system will reboot back into TWRP, just pull the battery out, and insert it back in, boot up the phone.
14. Type in your dial: *#197328640#, UMTS, DEBUG SCREEN, PHONE CONTROL, NETWORK LOCK, Then select option 4. Reboot phone
The simcard should now work!! Now, You can either install the old firmware you backed up, or just leave it.
New firmware for 4.4.2 Incase anyone Needs it: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I317M/
Hopefully this helps anyone. It took me 5 hours to find out all this info (because the phone is a I317M, Not the non "m" version)
THANKYOU FOR ALL THE WORK OTHERS DID FOR ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS USED!!!!
THIS DOES NOT WORK ON CUSTOM ROM!!! You must have the original Stock rom, or atleast something close with the samsung stock dialer, as the code only works on those.
Thank you for your detail instructions. Recently I got a used a SGH-I317M locked to Rogers. It has firmware 4.4.2. Will it be safe to follow your instructions to flash the 4.1.1 Rogers modem only, do unlock, and then restore to the original 4.4.2 modem with twrp?
Thanks,
Howard

Yes that should work (So sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on this site since I made the post) Just make sure to backup before you do anything incase it does happen to screw up Just remember to select that last link (sammobile) and get the firmware FOR YOUR NEW CARRIER, not the old one.
I need to unlock my At&T note 2 but it is now running 5.1.1 Bliss Pop. I tried that code but of course it wont work.
I sent the IMEI number and paid to have it unlocked but the company I sent the money to said they could not unlock it either.
What would I have to do to this phone to unlock it. I am in Cananda this week and want to use this PetroCan sim card I paid for.
Thanks

Okay, this is quite simple, install TWRP as usual, but backup the MODEM you have right now for 5.1.1, Then follow through the instructions, and install the MODEM you backed up after. That shoould work, if not, try to find modems for the phone for 5.1.1, But usually, (if my computer knowledge is correct) a new OS shoould support and older modem, so, you can try 5.1.1 with a 4.4.2 modem.

Any other modem files you can suggest?
It appears that I have to the load original stock rom but I also read that is not possible either.

your second link modem
it has tons of popups and when its not trying to open new windows and ask for browser access etc it downloads a "flash file" your 1.4mb download is a exe and puts up a warning.
since samsung removed the menu entery they left in by mistake on early 4.1x releases there is no way this ork to do anything but install malware and trojans from your site.

You can extract the modem from the stock 4.1.2 ROM or you can flash the entire stock ROM in Odin, unlock, and flash back to the latest stock ROM.
