[Q] Phone not booting after failed update..Urgent

Hi,
On my Note 2 7100 , I have given my phone to service centre guys to upgrade to 4.3 from 4.1.2.
After they attempted to upgrade the phone is not booting
The system status says Custom and they say it because you have rooted your phone and we cant help.
But before I gave my phone to them I have checked the phone there was no super user also every screen was looking official.
So I am not really sure if my phone was ever rooted or they screwed up my phone.
According to them if i install the old firmware my phone should boot.
But since I have no idea how it was rooted i am not able to do any thing.
Please help ... Urgent

Flash a custom ROM using ODIN Guide here. dun use the odin in the description. It's outdated. use this instead. Flash a custom ROM (or official) (official 4.3 has kies though) If u wan 4.3 without bloatware, try this.
Hope I helped!

which rom should i use
Hi,
I have tried to flash it with stock rom but its not booting.
Which rom should I use to flash the device now ?

Keep pressing buttons continuously for download mode
Then the upgrade failed message will go and then it will enter into download mode. after this you can try again.

Do a mega wipe (if u dun mind). The service guys may have put in a wrong modem so, flash a modem for ur phone. Download ur modem here. This fixed my phone 5 minutes ago when i accidentally flashed a N7100 ROM (Ditto Note 3) on my N7105.

Definitely more info needed.
What ROM is on your device?
What bootloader did you install?
What modem/baseband/radio is on your device?
What method did you use to try to install the bootloader?
Is your phone still showing the correct IMEI in settings or 0 ? (Compare between that shown in settings and under the battery.)
It may be as simple as updating your modem, but I/we can't tell yet.

I'm new at this, in fact I have flashed by old Captivate several times but yet to flash my SGS3. Anyhow, I have spent many hours reading. Before doing anything I suggest, read, and read some more.
Don't flash back to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 at this point. They will install an older bootloader than is currently on your phone. From what I have read, you narrowly escaped bricking your phone. You might want to read some of the threads regarding the 4.3 stock ROM and unbricking before making any changes in restoring your device.
You can probably fix this by flashing the modem that goes with the 4.3 series ROMs. It would also be the MJB flavor, although the MJ2 would probably work. Several of the 4.3 TouchWiz ROMs in the development forum have download links for the MJB modem. I would guess you were probably going to install one of them. I would recommend flashing the modem to see if that solves your issues before going ahead with the ROM flash.

The reason I didn't put a link in the previous posts was to get you to read about what you were doing as you searched for the modem. I am offering advice on things I have yet to experience on this device and only speaking second hand. My advice is only based on what I have read not on anything I have had to correct myself.
In truth I think you just stopped too soon in the process of what you were doing earlier. You said you installed the 4.3 bootloader in preparation to installing a 4.3 or later ROM that required the up to date bootloader. You didn't mention installing the current modem/baseband. You didn't mention trying to flash whatever ROM you had been considering.
You may be able to correct your device simply by installing the 4.3 modem. HERE is the modem thread, it is in the General Forum for our device. Make sure you pick the correct one. I don't know if your device will work well on the MJB bootloader and modem with a 4.1.1 ROM, from something I seem to recall reading I suspect it will.
Take this in steps. Install the correct modem, the one that matches your bootloader. See if that corrects you sim, data, and IMEI problems. If it does correct the issues, the next step is to decide if you want to stay on the 4.1.1 ROM or change to whatever ROM you had been considering. If you decide to change, make backups first. If it doesn't fix the problem while on 4.1.1 you may want to flash the version of the official 4.3 ROM enewman17 has provided on the development thread.
Take it one step at a time. Read about what you are about to do until you understand it well, all before doing anything. Make backups sequentially as you make each corrective step.
HTH.

thanks man for telling me what was wrong your an amazing human being and i love you (no homo) and thanks again a million thanks bro.

Did that modem fix some of the problems?

If your on 4.1.1 shouldn't you flash the DKL3 version or can't you just flash thru Odin the DLK3 stock ROM thru Odin Amd start all over again
I've been on 4.3 with that bootloader Amd have flashed back to 4.1 back to the baseband version DLK3 firmware. I would think being on 4.1 you should be able to reflash using Odin to fix the issue or flash the modem for 4.1 .

problems after update to ROM 4.3

Hey All,
I have problems with my GT-N7100 after updating to rom 4.3, it's a weird situation after trying all solutions available online (all solutions I found ).
I will tell you the full scenario and please try to help me with it.
I was on rom 4.1.2 , after flashing rom 4.3 from sammobile, I started getting not registered on network, I couldn't solve it at first and I was afraid to try solving it by myself. I sent to service center and he said he can't make it work on 4.3 and it must be downgraded to 4.1.1 and he did it and it was working. I guess he installed a German rom , baseband: N7100XXALIH.
I decided to try upgrading again to rom 4.3 but first I took a backup by rom manager and then I flashed the 4.3 rom and the network problem happened again, the IMEI is correct.
I tried several ways including ariza patch and flashing several modems but it didn't work, until I found the way to flash: Patched_N7100_MK4_KERNEL then flash: Patched_N7100_XXUEMJ5_Modem.
That fixed the network problem and it worked super fine but at the same time I had problem with the wifi , it can't be turned on.
I tried Dr.Ketan wifi patch, but it didn't fix it.
I restored the 4.1.1 backup which I had at first but I still have the not registered on network problem.
I wanna run 4.3 rom and solve the network problem as well as the wifi problem.
please help me to solve this problem.
PS: I bought this phone last year from HK and I flashed 4.1.2 rom for Egypt right after I bought it and it was working fine. now after I tried rom 4.3 for Egypt, UAE, and HK I'm still having problems.
There is a service office said he can solve it but it's gonna cost around 40 USD, I wanna save that money and know the solution by myself to be able to solve it if I face it later.
Sorry for the long thread. your quick help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

France firmware

I noticed that there is no good rom support for our tab s so I Downloaded last firmware of my t-805 lte from sammobile (france firmware)
My question is can i flash it directly from recovery or this may harm my device or make me lose root
Otherwise what can i do to make this firmware flashable like cooked roms
Pls teach me developers as iam new to all of that
Thanks alot

Since the ROM is from sammobile you will need to flash it from your PC with Odin. Make sure you charged your device and make sure its the right ROM for your device, example if its a Verizon or sprint tab s or a 10.5 inch model. Also make sure the rom is the right one from your country.You will lose root since it is stock.But you can still root it again with cf auto root. Hope this helps!

One problem I am from Egypt but the firmware is France update
So how can I flash it

First make sure you have the right firmware for your device as it may brick your device. Follow this video. http://youtu.be/6Rc17Hj11RM yes its a tab pro but still have the same steps to flash it. Just ignore the cfauto root and just use your firmware to flash it when he said to click cf autoroot. Search on google Odin 309 to download Odin to flash the firmware. Hope this helps
---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------
Also I forgot to add the firmware most be where you got it from. For example of you got it from Egypt you must have the firmware from Egypt or you may get bricked.

But I searched well and all I found is that it is OK to flash a stock Ron of another country
Are u sure it will brick my tab
if so what to do

There has been reports of flashing a different ROM of another country you get some sort of error during the flash ( some sort of file named hidden). I cannot confirm this error and someone correct me if I'm wrong! If you don't get a response try asking about "flashing Roms from different countrys safe?" May I ask why are you trying to flash a stock ROM?

I put mine in France firmware and no problem to use the 5Ghz wifi with it. The olnly difference is I got a lot of language to choose now (this is what I want). I suspect the france version is the same as other european ones because it got all european languages. If not, I don't know why they have a version for each country as my one plus cell phone got only 2 for the whole world.

Is there also a flashable zip file of the france stock ROM for recovery ?
This would be good if you debloat your device and if you got problems you could simply flash zip file in recovery without loosing all the settings like after flashing via ODIN.

Invalid IMEI / not registered on network

Hey guys,
I am a new soul here after about a month of searching through this forum and google etc... I really need some help.
After I bought my GT-N7100 Samsung Galaxy Note II as a used phone, I flashed it through the official SmartSwitch (the new version of Kies) so I could get a fresh phone with stock firmware.
After that I used Galaxy_S Unlock app for a network unlock. At this point I think that the app didn't generate a backup of the efs folder (it told me it did, but then i found that my sd card was corrupted and had to throw it away - just my luck), and left me stuck with an invalid IMEI (the generic one 0049).
So I tried flashing the stock rom through Kies and SmartSwitch and flashing stock roms from sammobile, even tried downloading custom kernels, modems from xda, but nothing worked.
After all this, I have a full signal, unlocked phone (not asking about sim unlock or anything), but not registered on network. I think it is strange that it is showing me a full signal without a SIM car in the phone.
If anyone could help me out, that would be great.
Thank you in advance,
alexns89
P.S. I'm a newbie about the terms so please, be patient if I don't understand you.
