hi sorry for my bad english.
I installed some custom rom on my phone
but after i installed cleanrom 4.9 ace with setting for rogers (and other canadian carrier) i went back to Bell factory rom 4.1.2 version and i got rogers icon instead of Bell icon.
Fact:
- i did a lot of factory reset (wipe data/cache)
- I downloaded rom from sammobile site
- i have samsung galaxy note 2 (SGH-i317M) from bell
- I used odin to restore to bell's rom
but after many try to revert back to bell official rom i get stuck with rogers icon
Any hint ?
What do you mean by a Rogers Icon? Like when its booting or somewhere in the system?
app icon on lauchpad i mean: 1 number, 1 contact, rogers voice mail etc
I think he means the Rogers Apps that come with the Note 2 when you get it from Rogers.

yes
K well if you are sure you downloaded the correct version then its probably a fault with sammobile uploading the wrong firmware. Try downloading the other Bell one from October 2012 then updating through the official OTA

Ok man u downliaded the wrong firmware. U dl rogers instead of bell. It wont make a difference though. Just delete the Rogers apps with titanium. Or you can do it the hard way and re download the right stock rom and do it again. You need to read more stuff before you flash or you're gonna brick
? http://bit.ly/18WHgY4 ?
already tested with 4.1.1 from sammobile but still like rogers firmware too
any other place i can grab official firmware ?
the 2 i tryed from sam mobile:
I317MVLBMA3_I317MOYABMA3_I317MVLBMA3_HOME.tar.md5 --- 4.1.2
I317MVLALJ2_I317MOYAALJ2_I317MVLALJ2_HOME.tar.md5 --- 4.1.1
but those like to be wrong as they both have rogers app on it

Who cares if it has rogers apps. Just delete them. Your phone will function the same and you'll forget in a day or two!

Did u happen to make a Nandroid backup before you flashed a rom? If so restore it and you'll be good to go.
Why do u need to get it repaired?
? http://bit.ly/18WHgY4 ?
nope i didn't i know ist stupid but i tried lot of time to do it but it never worked.
in fact it is the only thing i wasnt able to do
I kinda had the same issue but stuck with Bell stock instead of Rogers stock.
This won't work as a proper solution for you since you are sending it to Samsung but I changed the csc files and got the Rogers Apps back but I'm still using the Bell stock firmware.

Root your phone then open playstore search samsung csc. Open the app then choose your carrier from there it will reboot and factory reset your phone to Bell's firmware.

Hey everybody, Hope u r all doing well..
Here is my problem
I installed leaked rom 4.3 through odin on my N7100 device and was working well
then it started to be slow so I flashed 4.1.2 rom via odin, and found that my imei has been changed to strange one with a message not registered on a network
I searched the forum and figured out that flashing xxdme4 modem will resolve the problem
So I flashed this modem through recovery and the IMEI turned back to the correct one, but still not registered on a network
Things I tried
flashed 4.1.1 stock rom, changed the imei
flashed xxdmb5 rom , changed the imei
installed Ariza Patch on 4.1.2 , it makes my imei 009444 and corrupted it with no network
flashed xxdme4 Modem, it makes my imei correct
also xxdmf1 modem, makes my imei correct
I returned back to 4.3 , the imei is correct and also not registered on a network, I cant make calls
I flashed the new modem of the leaked 4.3 xxuemj5 on 4.3 rom, Also not registered on network but imei is correct
I flashed criskello custom rom 4.1.2, The imei is correct but also not registered..
Here Is the Strange part, when I call the sim in my n7100 from another phone, It rings as it is working, but I have nothing on the screen. also when I turn off my n7100, and call it , it is said that it is turned off. also the signal bars increase and decrease according to the area am moving in.. So I assume that this is not a hardware problem
also I thought to go to warranty , so I flashed stock ddmc3 rom, but the imei changed and when I flash xxme4 modem it is back, and I reseted the flash counter. but the modem is not corresponding to the rom, so it will be refused at warranty, and I cant install higher roms, cuz this is the latest rom for the region Egypt, where I live.
The Sim card is working in other phones, Also I tried many simcards
So I have a working device with 4.1.2 Stock rom and Xxdme4 modem, my imei is correct, baseband and everything
Sorry for ur time reading this, But to make everything Clear..
thanks in advance
Hey there... I actually faced a similar problem with the galaxy s3...similar symptoms.. .sane strange behaviour. ...except that my imei was altered.... I couldn't do anything to rectify it...as I hadn't backed up es folder....If you have backed it up...It may work if you restore it.....I made my s3 by sending it to a repair center...not samsung....and they fixed it....hope this helps...sorry about your phone
thanks for your reply,, I don't have efs backup.
Also My imei is Correct, it it Not Altered.
I am sure it is a software problem and I really need a solution
hope someone will help me.
Is there anyway to completely delete everything, repartition the device and start all over ??
If your imei is correct then use ariza patch it will fix your problem

Thanks for trying to help. But i think u didn't read what i have done above.. my imei is correct with modem xxme4 and when i install ariza. It alters my imei. So ariza generate fake one and doesnt work
Any help??
Not Registered On Network
I am facing the same issue... flashed the Leaked 4.3 jelly bean leaked version bu somehow Wi-fi was not working. So i tried switching back to old 4.1.2 jelly bean. And since tehn I'm facing this issue. And after looking for some solution i came accorss this section on XDA... and realized my IMEI no. has also changed as you mentioned above...
I have no solution to this issue... just guessing because I read somewhere 4.3 comes with region lock feature and once installed you cannot switch back to the previous verison of Android OS... Can this be the issue... ??
If thats the case then I am assuming re-flashing leaked 4.3 should fix it but you mentioed above even that didnt wokrk.
I havent tried anything yet to fix it... downloading the most recent official 4.1.2 jelly bean rom (N7100XXDMG1) available for my region and see how it goes... Though I'm not very positive about it as you have already tried this...
Is there any one who can help us out.. ??

Not Registered On Network - FIXED
Hi,
I re-flashed the Old Stock Jelly Bean, the one I already had on my system (N7100XXDLL4_N7100ODDDLL2_INU). Even after flashing it I was getting the same error as mentioned above and then came across another page on XDA which mentioned about this issue...
I tried installing the relevant modem for my phone rom and region which fixed it... may be the modem that you have flashed is not relavant for your region and rom. You can go through the link and see what I am talking about.... It kinda worked for me...
I flashed Modem DDDMG1 and it got fixed )

I tried xdme4 modem , it restores imei on 4.1.2 but still not registered on network
I had been thru the same problem. I flashed a prerooted 4.1.2, rooted it again as it was giving some error, and then patched ariza. I have done this several times as I have been constantly trying to flash 4.3 which always resulted in emergency calls only, once I lost imei after patching ariza, so I flashed. DLK7 or DL7 modem forgot the actual name but you can search by my name to find that post. I have already posted about the working modem.

Sorry to hear that it didnt work for you.... Seems like you are not getting the correct modem file for your region & Rom, the only thing that I can think of right now is to check with your friend who owns Galaxy Note 2 and can extract the Modem file using the method mentioned in the link i shared earlier :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937
And use this file to flash on your Note2. Also, confirm the status of Note 2 of your friend whether it is locked by some carrier/network provider or Factory unlocked, should be same as yours (Not really sure if that can cause any issue but just want to avoid any further issues that might crop up).
All The Best.
Thanks!
efs restoring query??
hello everyone, i ve a efs backup, backedup wen im running on 4.3 (xxuemj5). is it possible to go back to 4.1.2 (N7100XXDMB2) and restore tat backup (backed up on 4.3)? i had a prob (" not registered on a network") last time wen i went back to 4.1.2.
thanks in advance-
Some times we have to replace the SIM card.
When IMEI becomes invalid the service provider blocks the SIM card.
Try your SIM card in some other phone before replacing it.
dear bro.
i had the same problem with my n 7100 i hope this ll work with u
flash stok 4.3 rom n7100zsuemk3 u ll find it at samsung-updates.com hongkong rom
u ll still have not registerd network
flash this modem n7100ddemj9 for android 4.3 i think u ll have to root ur devaice and disable knocks
google this (GT-N7100_ModemMJ9) u ll find it
this worked for me but with this modem u ll get poor signal than other devices . its better than nothing any way .
Dr Ketans roms has an option to fix the network issue in aroma instaler of his rom, can you try with this.. Or other option, if you want to return to the 4.1.2 try flash the rom 4.1.2, install a custom kernel, apply ariza patch and them apply an efs restore.
Hi all,
I have tried all methods, factory reset, change to ATT sim(non-active sim), non of them work. I dont have an active ATT sim
I think the only way for me to upgrade to 5.1.1 is through Odin.
I'm waiting too
I've got the 5.1.1 update on my phone. And would be happy to provide odin files for it if someone can tell me how to pull it.

I have the same problem. My att note 4 is on Cricket wireless, and I haven't noticed any OTA when checking for updates. I've read on another post that att pulled the update and sent it back to fix the install issue some are having (among other issues). I really would like to try a manual Odin firmware update and see if it goes through... Please, if anyone could provide the files, that would be great.

Just an FYI, I have a friend on Cricket. When Cricket was still using the old carrier (was it Verizon?), Cricket released its own updates. Usually a month or so after the main carrier.
That was when Cricket had its own phone models though. My friend had an S4 and it was a Cricket model number.

Yeah it failed for me to. I honestly don't know at this point. I'm not a dev. I know some things lol. I think there might be something wrong with the current firmware that is causing it to fail. This is the first I've seen this ever happen. I was trying to find the Odin files for 5.0.1 but I don't see them anywhere yet. That way we can odin flash current firmware again then try update. If that fails, we'll need to wait for the Odin files for 5.1.1.
Odin files for 5.1.1 will hopefully soon be up!

I 'll give the device to my wife and I will buy the note 5 of TMO . I think I'll have better opportunities.
thanks for your time my brother!
From what I 've seen the least bad brand is Samsung , because the other brands bring poor processors (MTK ) or are bad devices to develop OS cooked.
I tried this method and it works fine for me.

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.

The only way to update is to use a Custom ROM.
Same problem for my Devise S4 mini Dous GT-I9192, Officially you will not find any Samsung Stock Rom higher than 4.2.2 the only way to look for Custom Roms the only problem you will face both Sims are on always as all Custom Roms based on CM. other problems are minor specially when you use Stable Custom Rom

I'm pretty sure the sim problem is in Nougat roms. You can turn off sims in Marshmallow.

android(dot)gs how to manually update galaxy s4 mini duos to android 4.4.2 kitkat
This is the site I used.
I cant remember the error msg but it popped up when I pressed start.
I have no idea what I am doing. I never tinkered with my phone before so I don't know what you mean when you say flashing a rom. I just googled how to update and I found this site. I'm a complete novice at these things.
The other methods I used are Kies and the normal way in settings.

First you need to take some time to learn all about "flashing" (writing new software [firmware really] onto hardware ie chip in your phone), as doing it wrong can "brick" your phone (turn phone into a brick, yes never work again!), eg flashing wrong model number eg I9190 firmware to your phone.
I couldn't find the tutorial you mention in first 5 pages of search, do you mean this one?
http://android.sc/update-android-4-4-2-i9192xxucng2-kitkat-on-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-duos/
strictly speaking you should not flash firmware from another region as it can stop your phone working properly. But it is possible, though I don't know about your phone or these tutorials as I haven't read them and checked all files etc
This tutorial has more info, that may help you if you decide to continue (at your own risk!)
http://techbeasts.com/update-galaxy-s4-mini-duos-i9192-to-android-4-4-2-kitkat-official-firmware/
in particular it says back up your EFS which is particular important when flashing different region in case you mess up (save to external SD & copy to PC also)
by flashing you will wipe all your personal data stored on internal SD eg photos, msg, notes, calendars etc so you need to back them up to PC (or external SD)
Kies wont let you flash that ROM as it's from wrong region (I think). Odin will though.
Nobody can help unless you give us the exact error msg + other info like Odin ver, file names etc
If you are going to flash a new ROM you might want to flash a newer custom ROM, like Cyanogenmod 13, Linage 13 or 14 (Android versions 6 & 7 respectively), you'll get new features, much better battery life, security and privacy though you will lose Samsung apps like notes etc

I tried it again using the firmware from TT. This was before I saw your reply and I got this message. It was stuck for a while and I plugged in my internet adapter and it said it failed. ( in the pictures)
If you type in this,"manually update i9192 kitkat" on google, it should be the first site to come up which is the one I used.
My phone was made in china, bought in the USA, being used in the Caribbean but has Saudi Arabia codes. I don't understand. The last update from them is 2014. I used the one from Russia and TT. Both of them failed.
Should I stick with updating it to 4.4.2, flash a newer ROM ? Would this 'newer ROM' be able to work on my phone?
Or drop the whole thing because I have no idea what I'm doing?
Is there a low chance of me bricking my phone if I flash a newer ROM?

Is your phone connecting properly? There is nothing showing in the id com port window at top left, when connected properly there will be, or does that disappear when error msg shows? I can't remember. Possible it means your drivers are not installed properly, or try newer ones here (though not always better)

(scan with anti virus first)
You might want to try a newer version of Odin
Though first thing is try another usb cable. Also usb cable must always be connected to usb connectors attached direct to the PC pcb (normally at the back (or side on laptop), not an extra one like at the front and definitely not thought an external usb hub.
Your phone is probably grey market, nothing wrong with that, mine is too (mine is German phone, bought from HK used in Australia). However if pre owned it could have had other roms flashed,
It's entirely up to you which version of Android you want to use, they will all work on your phone, though anything higher than 4.4.2 will be a custom ROM, most of us here run them ie Cyanogenmod (CM) or Linage (LOS) which has recently replaced CM. LOS still has a few little issues but it is already stable, though a couple of small bugs. The good thing is you will get regular updates for many, including the monthly security updates, and they have a many new features too. To flash these you will however need to unlock your bootloader and use TWRP for the recovery.
I suggest you make a nandroid back up as soon as you install TWRP, then you can always go back to your current setup.

Samsung said it will update to 4.4.2 but it did not, GSMARENA.COM sometimes not offering or updating to actual status and I had communicated with SAMSUNG but no reply from them however S4 mini is from S-Line which shall be more valuable to SAMSUNG but they did not care.

Maybe you mean in some regions. Because otherwise your statement is completely false. I had the 4.4.2 stock firmware on duos for instance.

Help me
Yes, it's connected properly. It is highlighted blue by ID:COM before the error occurs. I just installed the drivers you sent me.
I did the update with the latest Odin and I still got the error message.
Only my original cable connects to the computer so I cant try any others. Once it's connected and appears in 'my computer', doesn't that means its connected?
It wasn't pre-owned but how would I know if a ROM is already installed?
I think I want to upgrade to the 4.4.4 and IF I get it to work, I will then upgrade to the latest one. I'm assuming this is easier and since I have no idea what I'm doing or where to go, I should definitely go with the easiest first. Right ? You lost me at Cyanogenmod. This is guy stuff.
Can you direct me where I need to go please with some instructions ?
Thank you
you should quote msg or use @atnasan to be sure your reply is seen by other poster.
If I remember correctly (it's been a long time) when odin gets stuck at get pit it is normally a communication issue even though your phone appears to show up correctly in it. You must run Odin with full admin rights on your pc. Some used to say only the Odin for S4 Mini & ver 3.07 or 3.09 (I think it was) would work (see the S4 mini Odin thread) Some firewalls can cause issues so turn them off (maybe reboot with antivirus off). You need a usb port that connects direct to the motherboard & original usb cable (really just needs a good quality cable in good condition, I think, just not one of those thin $5 ones).
If that doesn't work try to borrow another USB cable or try another PC or laptop.
Luckily I've never had any issues, all Odin ver worked, I just right click on Odin to run as admin from my user account on Windows 7 64bit even with Zonealarm firewall running. But other people have had problems.
No need to update to 4.4.2 etc if you will try to install a custom ROM like Linage or Cyanogenmod or one of the more customised . (in fact on my I9195 updating to 4.4.2 loaded a new bootloader, which had a stronger ver of knox)
If Odin won't flash stock you can try flash TWRP with Odin then use that to try flash a custom ROM from your sd card using TWRP instead of using Odin. Use TWRP from the neozone75 thread, I am using the tryout ver 3.1 which is working perfectly, so I suggest that. (ver 3.0..3 gave me errors checking the md5, though most people don't both with that check, so would work). Linage OS is about to change official version from LOS13 to LOS14 (Android 6 & 7) so you might want to wait a week or so if you choose that ROM, as I don't think there will then be any updates to LOS13 after that as each phone on LinageOS downloads section only has 1 Android version supported.
