Last night I tried rooting my 12 days old N7100 (Note 2). I succeeded, but somehow neither of my 2 SIMs were recognized anymore.
Since then I've tried many different custom ROMs (cyanogen, omega, hypernote...), all with the same result, "No SIM".
I've been flashing most of this through heimdall on OSX. I also installed some ROMs through CWM.
I learnt that my phone is an ALJ3 and I tried the stock ROM for that. And also for some other models.
Only one of the stock ROMs actually gets past the SAMSUNG logo, and that one also says "No SIM".
It almost seems as if Samsung built in some feature that wrecks the phone if you try to root it.
I'm not sure what I could try next except for giving up, buying a new phone (probably not a Samsung) and using this N7100 as a wifi-only tablet.
Meanwhile I found a long list of ROMs for the N7100 at grantbarker dot com - it'll take me a lot of time to try all of them. Is there any one that is more likely to give me a working SIM again?

Sorry to hear that mate, I know you are in a tight situation. Before flashing various roms, did you take the backup of the EFS partition by chance??? If yes, then try restoring it. If not, then go to the posted mentioned below, its a kinda rescue firmware with all parts of the firmware intact.

This just might save your day if you haven't already tried this.

I already got "No SIM" at a point where I had not touched the SIM.
Same problem. Please help!
Sorry I am a toal noob to posting here.
But I am having the same problem!
I am having the accidentally installed omega rom for Verizon, I have att. Everything loaded but it wouldn't detect my sim. So I cleared caches and installed notorious prime but still no sim.
I then did a restore from the clockwork backup and still no sim.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
I'm thinking I might have messed up my kernel or fried my sim somehow?

Try the SIM in another phone use a MicroSIM to normal SIM converter if needed.
Both the micro SIMs I have work in other phones.
Installing a ROM usually also overwrites the kernel, from what I learned the SIM related stuff is in modem.bin, baseband or something similar. (You can unzip the zip and then untar the .tar.md5, which is a plain .tar file actually. That will usually give you a bunch of .img files, and modem.bin.)

Thank you for the response.

Well. I found your problem. Either you've flashed an i317 firmware on your n7100; or you've flashed an n7100 firmware on your i317. Find your model number, and use ODIN to flash the appropriate firmware. DO NOT USE CWM OR A CUSTOM FIRMWARE! RETURN TO WORKING STOCK VIA ODIN FIRST, THEN YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT ROOTING AND CWM!! AND DON'T TICK "REFORMAT" IN ODIN!! THAT'S A NO NO!! Use ExynosAbuse to root if you want. ROM Manager can give you CWM... I think. Appropriate firmwares are listed below.
If you've never used ODIN before, download it and Kies or current Samsung drivers on a Windows machine and follow Dr. Ketan's guide for flashing. It works a treat!
SGH-I317: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/181184536/fa1bbef/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip.html
GT-N7100: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/185548129/fba59f8/N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_XEF.zip.html
HINT: If you bought your Note II from AT&T in the United States, it's an SGH-I317, and you screwed up when you either flashed a GT-N7100 ROM, or at least a GT-N7100 modem. Without an exact account of what all you've done, I can't say for sure. But you definitely flashed something for the wrong device. Get back to working stock and report back.

From this it seems that an XXALJ3 ROM with an ALJ2 radio would do it.
So I thought N7100XXALJ3_N7100OXEALJ2_SER.zip would work but it didn't.
I also tried N7100XXALJ3_N7100OLBALJ3_XME.zip before.
I got the above information by going back to Hyper Note, as none of the stock ROMs has worked so far (except for the first of course..)
By the way, I bought this device in Germany.
I hope someone can give me some hints on how to continue, otherwise I'll have to head back to the store...
Thank you!
IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
Yes indeed I used a rom for the gt-n700, I have the sgh-i317.
One thing I am still confused about is why my CWM back up didn't resolve this? Nor did the noteorious rom...
Oh and I was having a lot of problems downloading from hotfile, stockroms dot net works much better (not limited download speeds).
Now I'm off to root and get NOTEorious rom on there!!
"note2nosim" find the correct firmware on stockroms .net (check the model name/number under battery)
Hopefully this will help otheres with this issue!

Your backup didn't take care of your problem because CWM doesn't backup or restore your modem. As for downloading stock ROMs, I'd just live with the speeds available via HotFile. SamMobile only ever uses HotFile and there is no more credible stock firmware source than SamMobile. Best of luck with your Note II. In the future, get your ROMs and support in the i317 forum here on XDA. There's no better source for ROMs, support, and device info.

Okay. ODIN-flash it completely back to stock. Don't flash recovery. Don't root. You can use the n7100 ROM I posted earlier. It's the latest. After flashing back to stock, boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. Then reboot. Report back after you've done that.

I don't have any Windows machines around here.
Is there a way to do this with heimdall?
Would this be enough?
PHP:
sudo heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img --RECOVERY recovery.img --SYSTEM system.img --CACHE cache.img --HIDDEN hidden.img --RADIO modem.bin

Happy it worked for you.
Under the battery it says
MODEL: GT-N7100
FCC ID: A3LGTN7100
SSN: -N7100GSMH
On stockroms.net that would give me N7100XXALJ3_N7100DBTALJ2_DBT.zip, which kinda matches my AP/CP/CSC strings.
I'll probably first try N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_XEF.zip, as suggested by Mister_Mxyzptlk.
(Also because I already started downloading this _XEF file with hotfile.)

That "should" do it. No guarantee. Give it a shot and do a wipe in recovery afterward.

I did this, with N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_XEF, it doesn't get past the bluish "SAMSUNG".
And now also no luck with the N7100XXALJ3_N7100DBTALJ2_DBT ROM.
Is there a way to see why it stalls at the SAMSUNG logo?
Hi friends
I need to know if this model (E977), is compatible with all or part of the guides that I have here to the root, recovery and ROMs in general (I want to be like a Nexus 4).
This is the model that is distributed in Chile, which by the way is pretty cheap, or import the E973 from eBay
Greetings !!
Yep,my guess is the difference is made by the lte band.so you can root it,unlock it like r
E975.if it will say model not supported,just upload boot.img on freegee thread and shelnutt will make the solution and update the application.
My other guess is e975 roms will work on e977.
JUST DO NOT CONVERT IT TO NEXUS4.
Ps. Look on rooting thread,someone from chile already rooted it.

Surely I explained a little bad with the Nexus 4 ... I want to put AOSP (Cyanogen 10.1) I'm a fan XD
Yes,it is compatible.like ivsaid ,it's identical with e975

CM 10.1 E975 Intl install in E977
Anyone knows if the CM 10.1 for E975, is running in E977 ( Brazilian Version ) .
IMO the only problems can be the lte modem and the camera ( I think E975 is 8 Mpixel and E977 is 13 Mpixel )
Regards,
camera is the same. CM will work
E975=e977.difference is made by lte band

Guys,you don't need to flash stock e975 firmware before flashing custom roms.look in index thread,see all roms reported to be working on e977.if you flash a custom ,it will not change a thing regarding baseband/modem.can't remember them all,but official cm,pacman,paranoid are some of the roms working on e977.

Thank you for all your help but i make a mistake since the beginning in my posts... i didn't tell you that the only reason to make a rom change it's because a damn BATTERY DRAIN in all instances....or doing nothing (idle, deep sleeping, playing, etcetera).
Im still finding some person that can resolve this issue... so when i start posting here, am supposing that the 10d could make any difference in stability and corrects the UGLY BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE.
I recently bought my nice LG Optimus G, thinking that LG brand finally did a good job, with an open, fast, and nice phone...but again, i make a mistake changing my samsung galaxy s3!! In that time, i had a lot of time, spending with my family, friends, doing a lunch, etc...but now, im worried about how to make an improvement in the battery of my cellphone...woww!!!
So if you can give some info about fix that, i appreciate it a lot!!!!!!!!
Thank you...Greets from Chile...
Don't know what you are doing to your phone, but,compared to my gf's s3, my g lasts better,used in same conditions.
Just make sure there are no apps running in background, remove all unnecesary bloat, use greenify and es task manager to stop unwanted apps/services from runing when you don't need them.
Well i had a E977 from telefonica movistar venezuela, i made all modifications like normal E975 (root, unlock bootloader with freegee, recovery and custom rom) cyanogenmod work very well, with minimal ram usage (about 500/600 max usage) but with super batery drain in normal use (when screen is off, the batery not drain), my problem was when i try to go back stock, i get super brick my phone, i had to take to SAT and validate warranty because when you try to restore with recovery (twrp) not work (the recovery dont find the backup) and when you restore you bootloader with freegee, the phone get security error bootloop brick, when you use tinybin method, you phone get worse, you cant flash custom roms because when the rom boot, you get kernel error (even flashing other kernel), and can't restore with KDZ because the roms for E977 are more than 1gb, kdz updater not work with 1gb+ roms... then my recommendation is if you do not want to live with the phone with errors, stay in stock, if you like to experiment without caring anything, modify it.

Theorically you can use your E977 with a Digitel simcard if it's free. The only difference between the 977 and 975 is the lte, nothing else

I'd try everything in my hand and i couldn't do it! (Pc suite hack, decompress kdz, kdzupdater) and none of the workf for me! I just want to flash an stable rom to test a better battery performance and dont lose 3g an 4g .
Thank you, i wait for your answer!
History:

- 12:30 from today, change flight to on-line (lost 4% from yesterday and during the night).
- 12:40 start to play Modern Combat 4.
- 13:05 stopped playing MC4 (73% of battery).
- 13:10 started facebook and xda page and start writing.
- 13:14 writed previous message (70% of battery).
- Now writing 7 minutes and counting (i im in 66% of battery).
I am attaching performace (total history) and info. from my stock rom Clarochile 10a. I have intalled recovery twr, formatted yesterday and no root now.
So is there any other way of gsm unlocking the LS980 for US carriers (T-mobile for me) without being on the two specific roms that do this? Like say Vanir, or omnirom, or the Glex rom? I see the build.prop method mentioned a lot but not the actual process for it, and does that work for US carriers? Also, I flashed Justin's stock JB rom on my ls980 so its going to say its a d801, how do i go back to my ls980 status? I may or may not have accidentally my backup too... any way to undo this without using the lg flash tool?
justin posted a guide on how to port pretty much any rom from any of the other carriers:

So far Ive tried the energy rom in the tmobile dev section and the stock international version (d802). Both worked well and I especially liked the d802 because it had the fm radio app and it worked great. Some other users have ported verizon roms as well.
Ive also tried the build prop method with modest success:

Unfortunately the build prop method has a few quirks. You have to dial a "1" before dialing a number otherwise the dialing app crashes. Also I couldn't get wifi tethering to work properly. Eventually I settled on the energy rom and its been my daily driver for about 2 weeks and I cant complain much.
I dont know if you can successfully flash a ls980 and get back on the stock rom without lg flash tool. If you want to go back to stock Id stick to the tried and true method namely the stock tot file and lg flash tool. Follow the instructions here: (credit to hyelton)

Any idea as to whether trying the romn compare method listed in Justins instructions would work with the base and another sprint rom. I believe the rom is called d3rp or something similar.

Thats a good question. I cant speak from experience but Id imagine that any stock based spring rom would still have the usa gsm carrier lock. Now if I remember correctly some users have reported that using the build prop method then flashing a sprint AOSP rom unlocked the phone for usa carriers. Again I havent tired it myself but its somewhere in the unlock thread here:

Ah, I tried the rom porting method with an ATT rom but it woyldn't boot. It got past the lg logo and got stuck on a black screen and at the top left it said Fastboot and under that it had a number code. I managed to restore from backup using twrp but any idea what that was or how to get past it?
Which ROM did u try? Also did u clear cache/dalvik before and after installation? Try any of ROMS in the international section. Ive ported a few international ones and never had a problem. also Im pretty sure that justins Tmo port has worked with att sims,

It was called something along the lines of grievous or grievious rom and yes, I wiped everything and I always clear both caches but it wouldn't boot and got stuck on the fastboot screen. I replaced all the necessary files although I did notice that the rom did not have the loki folder at all but I copied it anyway, is that maybe why that happened? Also, do you remember what other roms you've tried besides the energy rom?

Hi
Hi , I have flashed JUSTIN ROM posted in post# 239
It works fine , I have one issue and one query
- I can't set up any APN , by default it's T-Mobile. Even though I can add apn manually I can't select as there is no select button next to the apn.
Please note I am using this ROM in India/Airtel network (Need urgent help on this as no DATA is active)
- Is there any Kitkat version of this ROM
I have also attempted to use another ROM , following the instructions as per post #410
But after flashing my phone stuck in LG logo.
- Do I need to flash some other modem
- ROM which I were trying to flash is T-Mobile stock debloated (Kitkat) and I compared and did file adjustment against Justin's ROM (Sprint - T-Mobile , post#239 )
ROM link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688981
Hello dear forumites. This site has really helped me alot in the past to solve so many problems so I am first of all using this opportunity to thank all those who dedicate time to do alot of work and assist others.
Few months ago I bought an LG G2 Sprint which was unlocked for GSM because I had to ship it to my country. It came rooted and I saw somethings at that time that I didnt understand much, things like Xposed etc. Now I have much idea about those. What got me confused was when I decided it is time I try my hands on custom roms. I chose to use Cloudy G3 V2.0. Now the thing is , the phone came with Rayglobe Flex ROM and after doing some research here on XDA i discovered that ROM is used to unlock sprint usually. Infact I didnt know Sprint LS980 is originally meant to be CDMA.
One thing I was initially confused about while trying to install CLoudy G3 was determining what exactly my version was. It came in a Sprint Box almost new, had LS980 written on it at the back, but when I go to hardware information in the phone settings, its shows
Model number : LG D802
Software information shows:
Android Version: 4.2.2
Baseband Version: M8974A- ........ (letters and figures follow)
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build number: Rayglobe Flex 3.5
Software Version: D80211Z
So i'm like, can it be a D802 and also be an LS980?
Now I followed the instructions here on XDA and installed Cloudy G3 and chose Sprint Variant in the option, but when it was done, it was just stock on the LG bootlogo, left it for over 30minutes, restarted it, same thing. I had to restore back the Rayglobe, thank God I backed it up.áá
Now I decided maybe it was the Rayglobe causing problems so why not return the phone back to stock, again I got all instructions here and followed. I got stock here for a while because when i went to the page to download the zip file that has the .tot file for Sprint I saw three different ones :
LS980ZV8_13.zip
LS980ZVA_01.zip
LS980ZVC_12.zip
I dont know the difference between these 3 but i chose the first one but just while LG Flash tool became to flash the stock ROM I chose, it stocked after about 2 secs and said the phone model.
Lastly I decided to try cloudy g3 again. First time I tried it that it got stock on bootlogo, I installed, went back and wiped phone before restarting. This time I just installed and restarting straight, by the time it restarted I had a black screen with:
[xxx] Fastboot mode started
[xxx]udc_start()
* forgot the numbers representing xxx but i think one was 980 or so.
Really sorry for typing this much I just wanted to spell out all the problems encoutered. After this I had to restore back the Rayglobe. Right Now I seem to be stock with this rayglobe. What do I do please.
Note: I have not been able to move to kitkat because when I go to software update, it always tells me I am already using the lastest even though its on 4.2.2.

LS980ZV8_13.zip = 4.2.2 JELLY BEAN Stock firmware for LG G2 Sprint LS-980.
LS980ZVA_01.zip = 4.2.2 JELLY BEAN Stock firmware With Some More LTE Bands Unlock(Sprint Spark) for LG G2 Sprint LS-980.
LS980ZVC_12.zip = 4.4.2 KITKAT Stock firmware for LG G2 Sprint LS-980.
LS980ZVD = 4.4.2 KITKAT Stock firmware with Knock Code for LG G2 Sprint LS-980.( Currently, I'm also using this)
LS980ZVE = 4.4.2 KITKAT Stock firmware with improve HD Voice Calling for LG G2 Sprint LS-980.(LATEST Till DATE as of now i.e: 28th OCT,2014)
And as far I can guess, D802 is the international model of LG G2 and you flashed the firmware of Sprint Variant Of LG G2.
Sprint Variant = LS-980
International = D802
All models:
LG G2 D800 for AT&T
LG G2 D802 for Europe (International)
LG G2 D802TA for Australia (International)
LG G2 D803 for Canada (International)
LG G2 VS980 for Verizon
LG G2 LS980 for Sprint
You can try to flash the D802 Stock ROM from LG Flash tool or any other flash tool program which supports D802.
But as always, backup everything including your EFS !

Thanks so much for your response. I will try to flash the stock ROM D802. But from your judgement, do you really think my phone might actually be D802 even when it came in a Sprint box and has "LG- LS980" written at the back of the phone?
Also can you paste here the exact link to the D802 firmware I need a there are so many different D802 on:
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/
Wow, I just discovered my Light sensor and rotation is not working, after the failed attempt to flash Cloudy G3 and also a failed attempt to Return to stock ROM. went back to the Rayglobe 3.5 that came with my phone but I just discovered my light sensor is not working. Phone not rotating. Camera takes pictures inverted (probably related to the rotation problem), screen doesn't go blank when I hold the phone close to my ear when in a call (probably related to light sensor), Auto brightness also not working. Please heeeeeeelp!!!

Well, that is what is written at the back of the phone and since it came in a sprint box when I bought it off ebay, i will guess so. But the hard were information says it's D802. I explained the dilemma in my first post.

Hello friend. Why do you say it looks weird? Actually, I was able to install cloudy g3 in the morning. Though I got stuck at lg life is good logo for a long time, it eventually booted after many restarts. After that I discovered my data and mobile network was totally disabled. I followed the instructions to use tellinfo app and that got my data rectified but mobile network was still inactive and greyed out even after following the instructions. I did everything possible but my mobile failed to work to I had to return back to the old Rayglobe ROM. Check out earlier screenshot I took.
You simply had an ls980 with build prop mods (d802 visuals in info) and an old baseband. Flash zdc baseband and a 4.4.2 stock based ls980 or multi rom and you are ok

Hello friend. Thanks for your reply. But I searched the whole of this forum and google but couldnt find anything like zdc baseband. Please would you be kind enough to provide a link to this? Also when you say flashing a 4.4.2 stock, you mean using the LG Flash Tool right?
Do you also have an idea why my Light sensor and Auto Rotate are no longer working?
Is it advisable to do a complete wipe and then trying to flash back to stock afterwards? Cos my phone has been acting funny lately. Restarts often, hangs alot plus light sensor and auto rotate not working

Hey, I've just bought what I believe to be a korean LG optimus g pro, in software information, it says it is running on android 4.1.2 and the software version is LG-F240-EUR, and in phone identity it says the model number is LG-F240. In LG PC Suite it says it is the latest version and I can't update to kit kat. I also can't find any updates or stock android / cm11 4.1.2 roms for this phone, and when I do, it says it is for either F240K, F240L, or F240S, but none for just F240. I don't care much about updating to kit kat, but I would love to get a stock or smooth / lightweight + cm11 rom for this phone, anyone know where I can find one? Thanks in advance!
Forgot to say, I'm also already rooted and running CWM, so that's fine.

As you may already know, the E980 is what most people compile for. There is CM11 for the E980. Also, there are no CM11 4.1.2 ROMs as CM11 ROMs are all 4.4.+ ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786566
You'll want to look at this when you flash a CM11 ROM to your F240.
I think you should check your imei, just to be sure your phone is F240 or not

I don't do walkthroughs for devices I don't own. Also if you don't know if it's f240 S/K/L then you might have some issues my friend.
The model # of your device should be printed on the back of the device when the battery cover is removed, both on the chassis itself and underneath the battery on the barcode+imei label.

Hmmm, let me get back to you. Are you using Windows? If so I could toss together a .BATch file to gank the necessary logs to identify your devices specific model and needs. I'm very familiar with the E980 needs, and pretty well familiar with the F240s/k needs, but I've not encountered a F240-EUR yet. I wonder which specific variant it is?
If you're familiar enough with Linux or command line ADB Android stuff, I could just shoot you some instructions on what to do. Need to research a little first; might be a few days, as I am without internet access, stuck bumming it where I can (pardon me, I'm a gutterdwelling dirtfarmer).

So is there a stock TOT you can flash with LG Flash Tools that works fine? If so, you could backup all your stuff then flash back to stock with LG Flash Tools. When the dialog pops up asking you which TOT & DLL to use make sure to tick the 'Enable XML Log' at the bottom of the dialog and choose somewhere to save the logs to.
After you're done with LG Flash Tool, it will generate three files:
- DiagCommand.xml
- setting.xml
- LOG\<model number>_COM41.log
The last one, the *_COM41.log is the most desirable, but all three would be useful.
What does a site like this tell you about the IMEI? Does the IMEI reported in the Settings->About->Status screen match the one listed on the label underneath the battery?
>as many said after updating the lg f240-eur the updaate was successful but the ssignal was lost forever
Which update is that? An OTA update? Kitkat? Lollipop?
Have you tried the F240L firmware for it? Have you had any success with *any* stock image?
At least that COM41.log will specify the stock firmware and model for the device -- as long as the right DLL is used maybe, as incorrect DLL can cause issues (for me, using F240 Lollipop DLL on an E980 I had modem issues (and probably more)). That can also be obtained from a parameter cat'able via ADB shell, but I cannot remember it offhand (not sure if the partition it's on is loaded by default?) -- can get back to you with that specific in a couple/few days if you choose not/cannot flash a stock TOT.
As always before you go mucking about, if there's any files you value on your device make sure to vacate them via backup.

hi...i checked it in the imei website(but not the one which u provided in the link) and it is shown as LG F240S.I will backup everything that i need.But what are the 3 files u mentioned?and what does com41 file for? if i flashed any rom or stock lollipop kdz for my f240s,then will i get issues with my phn network signals? actually before this g pro,i had both g2 and lg g pro f240l(both phns i gave to my cousins).i updated f240l to official lollipop and everything worked perfectly.but the case here is different.its lg f240-eur.im scared of doing experiments on this phn.moreover,the touch on the phn is sometimes unresponsive.need to double tap or need to lock phn sometimes inorder for the touch to work.so the touch prblm is due to the rom in this phn or the digitizer prblm???

Apparently they have official Lollipop for the F240S, so it seems like you should be fine with that. Just make sure the IMEI under the battery and the IMEI being reported in the About menu in the phone match, and it seems like you can't go wrong.
Touch problems, rom or digitizer? If the touch problems persist with stock Kitkat *and* stock Lollipop -- or with any other roms, then it's likely the phone. Digitizers are inexpensive and easy to install though, so if it is that you should have little problem replacing it. Check out Ifixit.com for their walkthrough on that for the E980. Simple stuff! Requires at most a precision screwdriver and maybe a hair dryer/heat gun (probably?).
> ut what are the 3 files u mentioned?and what does com41 file for?
That's unnecessary now that you've found the correct model number for your phone.
Pls how can i flash twrp on my F240k and where to download it
