I plug my phone in and my PC says its an E975 when literally like yesterday it said it was an LS970. I remember installing ROM Manager and making it configure settings to my current recovery (which was TWRP 2.6.3.0 at the time). I tried updating my phone and I kept getting errors, so long story short I ended up removing my OS from the frustration, flashed a teenybin which I know I probably did incorrectly, my phone booted back up, Im running an old recovery, and my phone is still being read as an E975. Any help? Id like this solved ASAP so if its going to be easier to skype or facebook chat or something just message me.

I'm guessing that version of TWRP is the one that can flash the KK Roms? That might be the reason.
You can try flashing the 2.5.0.0 TWRP and flash a stock ROM. I'd recommend the "Stock rooted ZVC" in Development.
There's a TWRP thread here that has all the older versions.
I'm not really sure if your trying to fix it? Or just wondering why.
If the above doesn't work then you may end up LGNPST the full bin.

I just LGNPST'd a full stock bin. Worked wonders. Just finished rooting and unlocking the bootloader. I want to update to 4.4 but Im afraid of this happening all over again even though I still have the bin file.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just installed 4.4 KitKat and my PC is reading E975 again
Hi,
In my current baseband I am not able to get data services though I am getting data active symbol on signal bar. I am trying to flash different modes to get it working . here the problem is when I flash modem zip in recovery,it shows flash is successful.but when i reboot the phone, I could still see the old modem only. Tried cwm/twrp/ madmack's hacked recovery but same result.
Could you please help?
Is there any alternative way to flash recovery?
How can I restore my old ROM setup including baseband? As I tried to restore a backup with fully functional modem in it, restore is successful but modem is not the one that was backed up.

Hi, have you found a solution to this? I appear to be in the same boat.
I flashed this one without a problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568336
I don't if it's related but first I installed stock kdz and afterwards cm10.2 and then the modem.

Hi, That link you sent was for the E986. It's not going to mess up my E988? Also, will this work with North American networks?
I was hoping that someone could help me out with some advice. I'm having a lot of hiccups after installing CM11 (M12) and I thought flashing a newly downloaded and MD5 verified copy might fix some of the problems.
I originally had CWM installed on my e980, but I've recently swapped that out to TWRP 2.8.1.0. The issue that I'm seeing is that every time I try to flash a ROM, TWRP gives me an error that says CM 11 for my e980 isn't compatible with my device, which it's detecting as an LG F310LR (which appears to be a Korean variant).
Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to fix/bypass this? Flashing ROMS in CWM was working fine, but I've had a lot of problems with TWRP. So many in fact that I've reverted to CWM a couple of different times.
Thanks in advance!

Use another version of twrp, that works for me.

The same thing happened to me once , I had to do a full restore with the kdz , and redo everything.
but you can modify the build.prop or something and change it to your variant.
the thing gets messed up by the Unlocker app.

Thanks. I'll try this tonite:

If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to revert to stock and start over.
Hello everyone,
After a long fight to try and get this phone back to normal, everything seemed good,
except not really
I started on a buggy CM11 version. Sick of it, I downloaded a 4.4.4 stock rom. I had to disable firewall and defender, but I got Odin to flash my md5. I got through everything and it booted successfully. After signing in and all that jazz, I find out that my WiFi isn't working. After a few reboots, My 4G finally works and everything seems to be steady.
Then, after exploring the rest of the phone I find out that all my apps from last ROM are still there. I know that you are supposed to wipe before flashing, but I was told that Odin will take care of that. It obviously didn't.
After THAT, I try to boot into Recovery as the next sensible step is to try to wipe my data and cache. I turn the phone off and press (Vol up + Home + Pwr) and the first boot screen shows for a moment. It says in blue "RECOVERY BOOTING" in the corner. Right after, it disappears and in another second it does the same screen without the "RECOVERY BOOTING". And as presumed, it does a regular boot.
What did I miss? How can I wipe my phone from recovery? How can I fix my problem with Wifi?
Reflash in Odin.
Make sure you have the correct stock rom. If you flash the "md5" you may have flashed the wrong thing. The md5 is not tge firmware, that is just the code that verifies your firmware file is not corrupted.
If your old apps were still there, you flashed the wrong thing. There is no way to flash stock firmware in odin and not wipe the data partition.
You are correct then
Yeah, I flashed a tar.md5 in Odin. It gave me a new ROM but all my apps are there. After all that, I still can't go to recovery. I tried using the terminal and ROM Toolbox to go there, both didn't work. Can I just leave it as it is and find a way to recovery or is the only way to go to bootloader and flash a correct file to get to recovery?
Flash twrp and see if it will reboot into recovery, then factory reset and flash latest firmware with Odin right after. Odin will NOT wipe data. It has to be done manually

It depends on what you ate flashing.
If you are flashing a full stock factory image it will wipe user data. If you are just flashing a system partition it won't.

How do I know whatever I download is deodexed? And I went to a page of ROMs someone gave me and I downloaded the NK2 version, which also gave me a tar.md5. If I want the correct thing to flash, what should I flash?

The first post of any customized stock rom will tell you if its deodexed. If it doesn't say it...its not.
@Essem G:
Any updates for us? I'm following this thread because I have similar problems with my WiFi not working after upgrading from 4.2.2.
Any luck getting TWRP flashed?
Also I believe that the stock firmwares do come as tar.md5's, as in the file: M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5 from ShinySide's stock firmware thread.
As for the WiFi issue, from the hours of reading I've done it looks like this problem occurs when you upgrade your firmware, but it no longer matches the bootloader. Such as bootloader (Baseband) showing MDL, but Build Number showing NH7, NK2, etc. What does your show?
This thread may be of use to you when you get back to a working ROM. Good luck!
@RavenMind1
Everyone has been saying different answers and i've put off fixing my device for a while. I'm just afraid i'll brick it forever and have another nightmare after this current one. So no, there has been no progress. I think i'm gonna try to flash Philz and format my system, then flash a deodexed rom. @g7755725 said that you can flash TWRP, but I usually use Philz. It appears to be that I have lost root access because no root features work and SuperSU won't recognize it. Will everything work or am I setting my self up for disaster?
Edit: Where can I find a deodexed rom? I desperately need one, thanks

@g7755725 I downloaded a deodexed rom from the SkipJacks guy (different page than what you sent me) and it's a little under 9MB... how could this possibly be a ROM?

Sounds cool but i would have been interested a few months ago. I'm trying to sell the phone so I need to get it back to stock. Appreciate all the help and I think it's cool that you make ROMs

If you're trying to go back to complete stock then just Odin NK2 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508 I used the NK2 from here about 2 days ago to go back to stock.
Bought brand new AT&T Note 2 on eBay from verified good seller in the US. Phone was on 4.4.2 unfortunately....so I just decided to try a VR Toxin rom, phone just boot looped, no matter what I tried. With and without modified kernel. Then I went back to stock NJ2, flashed TWRP via Odin, rooted using CF-Auto Root....Then restarted...booted up fine...except for UNKNOWN IMEI/BASEBAND ERROR. I googled the fixes for it...none work. Basically, as soon as I flash ANY non-stock recovery (CWM, TWRP) I get a corrupted IMEI/BASEBAND. I'm wondering if I got a bad phone? Or, is there an issue with some corrupt file/part of my phone? Is there an ODIN file that could COMPLETELY flash this back to EXACTLY stock? I've Odin'ed this and tried different methods about six times...only to get the same error every time. Even after restoring the backed up EFS info.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
