[Q] Boot loop. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i have a very strange problem with my Note 2 when trying to upgrade from Hurricane 4.3 to Phantom 4.4.2. or Dr Ketan Custom ROMV8 4.4.2.
No matter if i use TWRP latest or Phils latest recovery it just stop at Samsung logo.
I have tried with both Mj5 and Nd3 bootloader, both compatible with 4.4.2 and i do all the wiping needed before i flash.
Md5 is checked on all files.
I have tried this atleast 10 times but always ending up with nandroid back to Hurricane.

In that case flash 4.4.2 stock rom , root it and then flash custom rom.

Just to be precise: Flash stock rom 4.4.2 as suggested and afterwards a custom recovery, both using Odin, no need to root. Then you can flash any rom you like :good:

Thank you for your answer, can i flash any 4.4.2 ROM since no NEE (nordic countrys) out yet, France or Gremany per exemple?

Yes you can.Only the modem version might be different so you might have to change that if you you experience slow data speeds and weak signal.But France has ND3 modem which i am using in India and no issues with network or data speeds so you should be okay too.

I tried all modem in that topic but signal still bad
The problem is i cant downgrade to the "old" 4.1.2 baseband. Only some 4.1.2 new baseband works
Was on official stock Nordic 4.1.2 ROM, flashed Faria's deknoxed international 4.3 ROM & got exactly the same result as you.
Followed the roll back procedure in his description, reflashed original Nordic stock 4.1.2 again, & reception is back to normal.
No doubt it's the modem that's causing the decrease in reception. Thank God it's not irreversible.....

Can you tell me baseband version and rom version???
Im currently on ddemj9 modem and Xxueml6 rom
Here you go. It's the downgrade ROM (by Faria) that I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=3117&task=get
After successful flashing of the above ROM, flash your country/area's
official 4.1.2 ROM, and you're done. You will need to wipe the device
before flashing Faria's downgrade ROM. This worked on my phone.
The Nordic ROM that I flashed after using Faria's downgrade ROM:
N7100XXDMG1_N7100OXXDMG1_N7100XXDMF1_HOME.tar
It's available through Sammobile, or similar.
Good luck, dude! :good:

Yes, you must flash the correct ROM for your country/area
after flashing Faria's one. Then you get the correct modem.
Get the appropriate ROM on your phone, & you'll be fine.

4.4.2 bootloader can't be downgraded. If you flash older bootloader, you will run into trouble.
If you want to jump back to 4.3, install Mobile Odin and flash the firmware. It flashes everything except the bootloader.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

ThanQ .. and i hope this is works .. I'll try as soon as possible
But what about if the rom i want it its a flashable cwm ?

Mobile Odin works without failure if you follow the procedure correctly.
Stock ROM (tar) and Custom ROM (zip) based on 4.3 bootloader will go into bootloop. There might be a way to get 4.3 custom ROM by flashing img files for 4.3 kernel, modem, etc., without flashing the bootloader. But you will be flirting with danger.
Also, 4.3 custom ROMs lack support these days. The developers have moved to 4.4.2.
It is advisable to stick to 4.3 stock Rom or use 4.4 Custom ROMs.

Cannot flash stock rom

Hello I would appreciate any help with my device. The problem I am having is I can flash no touchwiz roms such as slimbean and CM11 but cannot flash stock non touchwiz roms. I would like to get wifi calling running but my phone just wont flash those roms. I am using the latest TWRP and my original rom was a 4.2.2 rom but it did not have the wifi calling option. I first encountered my problem when I got the phone and tried to root it and install a custom 4.4.2 rom. The flash failed and from there I was stuck on the Samsung logo. I tried to odin back to stock with the nb4, mk2 and mdl images but odin wil not let me flash it I get nand Write start FAIL error. Tried different odin's, cables, ports and still no go. I know I must be missing something but I have searched and searched and every post says it should be working. Please help.
current baseband M919UVUAMB2
current rom slimbean 4.4.4
What is the fail message when flashing the rom in recovery?
Are you sure you have a M919, and not a M919V phone?

Your device is not really a m919....and honestly only mb2 firmware I've ever heard of was actually for the s3 not the s4...there's a bunch of these weird ass devices going around. Both m919 and i9505's. Let me guess you bought it on the Internet?
Thank You all as you suspected the phone was a fake luckily the seller is taking it back.

[Q] Lollipop ---> IMEI null

Ok, A long story:
Whenever I try to flash a lollipop ROM I get an unknown IMEI..
I solve this by flashing a stock 4.4.2 (I get the right IMEI but not registered in network) I solve this by flashing a patched modem and everything is fine..
But when I try to flash a lollipop ROM I still get an unknown IMEI again..
Also, I have efs backup, When I restore efs, Nothing happen.. IMEI is still unknown..
So, I want to try lollipop ROMs (like, ValidusLP ROM for example).. How to solve this problem?? Is there like a patched modem for lillipop??
Thanks in advance for anyone who will try to help.
Try some other lollipop ROM and see if issue solves

Tried both TWRP and Philiz touch recoveries, Both latest versions...
I flash the recovery using ODIN, Then flash the ROM using the recovery.
Exactly the same issue.
1) Was on stock Kit Kat 4.4.2 2 days back. Connected to Kies and got the update for Lollipop.Update the phone in few hours but no IMEI,nothing.
2)Downloaded the latest Stock Lollipop from SamMobile and flashed this using Odin and same issue.
3) Flashed the Kit Kat 4.4.2 and everything is fine with modem restored and IMEI visible.
4) Downloaded using OTA on stock 4..4.2 still same issue and IMEI blanks out.
I am sure there is some problem with this Update and waiting for a stable version.

On another note : Lollipop looks gorgeous though and has a good interface. Want to stick to stock as heavily use Spen features.
Please let me know if there is a modem that could be flashed with Odin to Stock lollipop ROM ? Else will have to go back to Kit Kat.
Thanks

I already went back to 4.4.2
Ok fixed this issue.
Just download the previous ROM for Kitkat for your region model. Extract the Tar file and then what ever is the extracted file again open it using WinRar. Get the modem.bin out of it.
Once you have loaded lollipop: Open Odin again and flash the modem.bin from previous rom using Odin. Got to work for india .
Yey I am on lollipop.

What, exactly, did you flash via Odin? What is the model number for your phone (as can be found on a sticker under the battery).
Odin is extremely powerful and unforgiving.
4.3 MK7 firmware for T889 ....that's my model. That's what I'd been using since until I used Dn4 and now I can't go back.
