n900w8 Baseband Unknown - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Just like the title says.
I have the n900w8 variant of the note 3 which works in canada and mexico. not sure about other countries. So I installed the hyperdrive rom that is for the n900t model.
It works awesome i had to flash some fixes now when i try to flash one of the s5 ports for the n900t or n9005 which both of them are compatible I get the unknown baseband and no imei issue. I hope someone in here can help me.
i have to mention that i made a nandroid backup and after the rom is flashed I flash the back up but only restoring Modem and Efs. still same issue.

There's a few guys that can (or rather willing to) do bling builds. But the problem with blind builds is, you cannot test them. Not too many dev's from Canada. Sorry. As I get time, i will work with Allen on W9008 buids if there's enough people to warrant the time and effort.

The only way you can solve the imei and baseband
issue is to Odin flash the original STOCK firmware.
After Odin flashing you can root the phone
and flash a custom recovery if you like.
You can also flash a custom rom which was
created for your specific phone's model.
Then just be careful of what you flash in
the future.
You can find the original STOCK ODIN (TAR) firmware
at http://sammobile.com
Good luck!

Hi there,
Mind helping me? I ended up having unknown Baseband and IMEI null during lollipop upgrade. I tried flashing back to original stock rom both kitkat and lollipop but I still got same issues. I ended up rooting the phone and currently running twrp. I'm just at lost right now on what else to do. I'm thinking of putting custom ROM but I"m not sure with one will work. I have SM-N900W8 Canadian version.

[Q] please help me!

I have a galaxy note 2 lte sgh-i317m model of Mexico, Telcel company.
I want to install cyanogenmod 10.2 but can not find any post from my model
does this ROM in my model? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384231
please help
yes, it is supported. You can flash any ATT (t0lteatt) or international gt 7105 (t0lte) ROM... they are compatible with Telcel i317m.
Always remember to make a nandroid backup first. TWRP lets you restore modem stuff from it in case a ROM overwrites it... (which is not the case for CM based ROMs... but some touchwiz ROMs like to include modems and CSC).

Urgent help needed flashing a ROM over DMF2 firmware?

Hi all,
My Note 2 LTE (N7105) Updated OTA from my carrier (EE UK) when I got it last week, and is now on the DMF2 build/baseband.
However, I've heard that flashing a ROM over this will make the IMEI disappear (correct me if I'm wrong), as per Dr.Ketan's thread here
I really want to install some ROMs like CleanROM Ace or Jedi x17 ROM, however I'm worried that I will ruin my device I just got the other day
Any idea on what my options are?
Thanks in advance!
U read that wrong buddy..it says MF2 and ME6 are latest modem and it modifies efs so that only newer modems(me6,mf2,mg1) can read the partition.
If u DOWNGRADE or flash older modems(before mf2,me6) it will result in imei loss
So u can flash any rom with latest modems..continue flashing:thumbup:

[Q] SGH-317M ROMs

Hi All,
I've tried to find this information because I am sure that it must have come up before but cannot seem to find it.
As the title says, I have SGH-317M Note II (rooted and unlocked already) and was wondering when choosing a ROM which ones are ok to load; The N7100 or N7105?
I haven't seen any SGH-317M specific ROMs so I assume that one of these two are the correct ones.
Any help is very appreciated.

I believe your device is a LTE device.
So, it would be better if you use N7105, but you have to prepare the modem and kernel of your own device.
N7105 rom runs well on T-mob Note2, as well as the other way around, but with a proper modem and kernel of our own device.
That's what I know, and what I've tried (use T-mob ROM into my device), I'm not sure about your device.
But for safe, do backup of your IMEI / efs, in case corrupted during the flashing of custom ROM. at least, you will have a backup of your IMEI / efs to restore.

Hi antique_sonic,
Thank you for your reply. First of all, "Yes" my device is an LTE device so I will stick with the N7105 ROMs.
If I update the ROM on my Note2 will my Kernel and Modem change?
Or are you saying that when I load a new ROM I must update to a Kernel and Modem that works well with that specific ROM?
On my past Android devices updating the Modems and Kernels was always a separate choice if I wanted to update them and was never tied to a ROM. Is this different on the Note2?
Cheers,
Dave

Sorry... I just read ur reply.
Most of lte custom tw rom will ask u whether u want to change or keep. I always choose to keep mine.
In case the rom u choose force u to change, u can always flash back ur own modem nd csc files.
But go and find the modem and csc for ur device nd region first to be safe in case things go wrong.

Hey thanks again for the reply. Can you point me in the direction of where I can find the Modem and CSC files or instructional links? All the files I have found were the original carriers ROM images.
Sorry for the trouble, still trying to ramp up on the note 2
I m sorry I have no idea where to find modem nd csc for ur model.
I only know N7105.

[Q] Need clarification on roms for T889V

Hello people,
I am sorry I have to make a new thread
I have a t889v note 2 on 4.3, rooted, with videotron 4.3 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975560 rom, baseband T889VVLUCMK4 and I want a piece of that kitkat action. I have used EFS professional to backup NV items because I don't want to end up with a f****d up IMEI number with no reception, but I'm not sure Im in the clear to test out different roms.
This is the reason for my post, I want to know which roms I would be the safest with. I have read so many conflicting posts on this I don't feel confident enough to make a judgement call. Does t0lte roms include any modem that would conflict with my t889v modem/baseband? What about t0ltetmo ? I understand that's the part where t-mobile comes in but this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...06&postcount=8 says I shouldn't ever use t0ltemo, but would t889v not be closer to t889 than GT-N7105 ? In the same thread people are saying they flash t-mobile roms and then just flash the canadian modem on top and it works fine, but I would rather not mess anything up the first time around.
Anyone care enough to help? Basically I just want to know what to look for in my rom selection, I understand I don't want a rom with a built-in modem, but this is conflicting too, omnirom early builds have no modem while later builds have one?

I'm guessing you've been deterred by my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684412
In my experience, ROMs for the GT-N7105 work fine. You can also try other ROMs for AT&T, and Sprint, they are usually ok. I think there are many other posts on this on XDA, so have a look.
The moral of the story is, make sure to back up your EFS partition. It's that simple.
if it is a rom that you flash in recovery you should be fine. they don't usually contain a modem or bootloader that would bork your install. You should be able to flash att, tmo, or n7105 roms with no problem
Thank you very much to both of you, very appreciated.
I went on to install omnirom 4.4 but Im not really liking the multiwindow, its a poor experience compared to touchwiz, I might eventually switch to a touchwiz ui based rom to get note 3 features and all the goodies, Im not sure yet.
As long as you don't flash a non T889V modem you should be good. When in doubt, nothing stops you from checking the zip or tar to see if it includes a modem, and removing it if needed.
If you haven't seen it yet, some recoveries recently had issues after flashing KitKat ROMs where your IMEI would show as unknown along with the phone not having service. Flashing the same ROM with another, updated, recovery fixes it.

[Q] SGH T999 and Roms.

I had recently obtained a s3 its a T-mobile, its running 4.1.2, with the T999UVDMD5 baseband. I rooted it, flashed xposed(haha the only thing XD). Well, reading about/friends have said there was trouble with the 4.3 update so I decided to stay on 4.1.2.
However, now I've decided to flash a custom rom, and I have noticed the different labels(D2lte, D2tmo, D2usa) and I had read from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736477 "As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants" .
I have a few questions:
1.There was a baseband update, should I update it? If so, how exactly?
2.Would it be wise to flash a D2lte on This T-mobile device? I was looking at Resurrectionhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692481(originally waiting on cm11 but.. Yeah lol)
3.Looking at KitKat rooms, which ones could I flash?
4.Would it be safe, if I did flash a 4.4.2 to restore a nandroid backup of my fresh rooted stock 4.1.2.
5.Lastly, what kernel would you say use?(Sorry to ask, curiosity as to which i could flash)
I appreciate taking your time to answer my questions and have a good day!
1) custom recovery.. There are zips available to flash
2) d2lte covers all d2 devices so its safe
3)Any on the development threads
4) Yes
5) like on 3, you can flash any kernel in the development threads, experiment and see which one works the best for you!

To answer your questions:
1. You do not need to update your firmware - I'm still on MD5. Modems, however, can be flashed separately from firmware.
2. You can flash d2lte ROMs on this phone as it's all one unified build for US SGS3 variants. (I.e. T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint/Verizon SGS3 is now all built under d2lte).
3. As far as which KK ROM to flash...just try them all out and see which ones you like the best. Each ROM has different features - see which one is right for you.
4. If you don't update your firmware, then yes. (FYI, flashing a custom KK ROM does not update your firmware. However, if you flash one of the 4.3 root66 files that has firmware included, then it will update your firmware).
5. Again, try it out. It's hard to say which ROM/kernel combination will work best. I suggest you read the forums to see what people think of them.
Hope that helps.

No problem, and i forgot to say but the only time you might need to update modem is if you flash a 4.3 touchwiz ROM, other than that its not really needed unless you want to experiment and see if one gives you better results

Oh, and one more thing: DO NOT flash a ROM that is for the international version of the SGS3 (i9300). It will, most definitely, brick your phone.
Don't know if you knew that or not...just wanted to make sure.
