Hi
Last night i tired to root my phone using a firmware but kinda ran in some what a major issue. As i was updating the ROM using ODIN it decided to fail and kinda soft brick my device. After trying to find ways to get round i mange to find a stock ROM which got it back to the main screen. The issue that i've got now is that the IMEI number is 0049 and getting no service or mobile data.
Looked on a couple forums about trying to fix the IMEI. I came across one including the NV_Data and another one using EFS restore. The issue is that i haven't got a working NV_Data file or a full back up of a EFS partition. (yeah i know that i've should've backed up the EFS had it all today off my mate hehe)
Was wondering if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100- SIM: T-mobile
Thank you

How to recover lost IMEI that happens with downgrading ROM
If you have lost IMEI just by downgrading (as said by above by flashing older ROM), still you can recover IMEI without having EFS backup.
-Again upgrade ROM will restore IMEI OR
-Flash latest Modem. You can find it here.. You can download MG1 modem and flash using PC Odin with 'Phone' tab instead of PDA.
Remember above said works only if IMEI is corrupted by downgrading ROM only, if it was corrupted by other things, this won't be helpful.

try flashing DDDMG1 or DXDMF1 modem from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937
Thank you for the reply.
Just to double check is it this what i need to download from the link you gave me
Modem
N7100XXALJ1 (modem version N7100XXALIH) [Thnx AdamLange]
If so for some reason the file cant be found
no i meant the latest 3 modems for 4.1.2
XXDME4
DXDMF1
DDDMG1
because flashing old modem over one of the 3 newer modems makes the same problem as yours ..
so installing the newer modem might fix things for you without having to install the whole rom
-------------------
u nead a custom recovery(philz or Twrp) to install these modems ...
Really grateful for the help
When you say i need to install the modem using a recovery (philz or twrp) would you happen to know were i can find a step by step guide on how to use the recovery??
Cheers
u already used odin so u must have samsung drivers and odin ... just dowanload twrp for ur n7100 from there site http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/115
then download the Odin Method
select the file from the pda button in odin and flash ....it should even root ur phone if it wasn't .. there is a lot of ways to reset ur phone to stock so it's not a dangerous operation
this vid is for s3 but it's the same method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f9QdsnSTso just use the file from the link above
OOOOOSHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for all help manage to get it working now. Everything you said has helped.
Cheers mate really appreciate everything you done :victory:
don't want to confuse you but if u don't want to root ur phone / install custom recovery
u can download stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230250
it should be same result ...
---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------
u r welcome .....just make a nandroid backup (using the custom reecovery ) and the make sure to include the EFS and place it somewhere secure extsd and the pc to save u from alot of trouble in the future
So I flashed a rom called SlimKat, didn't like it, and tried to flash back to stock. Before though I used TriangleAway to clear my binary counter. I noticed it download mode that it says the following
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
and after I attempt to flash something with Odin, it will say below the bootloader thing
SW REV CHECK FAIL: FUSED 2> BINARY 0
When I try to boot regularly it gets passed the first Samsung logo, but it will get stuck at the first SlimKat logo screen.
I've tried everything that worked every other time I've bricked my phone, but this time I guess it's different. I also currently have CWM recovery if that helps anything. Also, my microSD card doesn't work anymore, but I should be getting a new one soon, just in case i can put a rom on there and flash it from CWM. Any suggestions, or should I just send it in at this point?

Hello!
First, I apologize for not knowing english, I'm Brazilian.
and also because I do not know if here is the right place to post.
I have a problem, need help very much!
I'll try to explain perfectly.
I had installed TWRP;
and the rom SlimWiz SL1.
I thought about changing rom, then
I was trying to install DN3_v5.5.
I selected the TWRP, I selected to wipe cache, dalvik cache, system and data,
tried installing DN3, but do not know for what reason, did not install the file,
said that there were installers but not charged anything on the phone,
I could not add another rom to install, then hung up.
Now I can not install anything because I have no access recover, TWRP
I can only access the download mode.
When I try to install the odin the following error appears:

I try to use everything in ODIN.

This does not happen unless you are careless with the given processes. I have flashed custom ROM for over 30 times and have never faced a problem.
Anyway, flash pit file for your device via ODIN.
Then install stock ROM via ODIN.
If pit file flashing fails, report back with error.

If you can go to download mode at all, means your phone is soft bricked. Pit file should always work...no reason not to.
I guess you have a broken cable that is causing problems.
Does your phone charge when its off...showing green battery logo?
Also, which ODIN version you are using?
Also, tell me which firmware you are using to flash via ODIN?
Also, before brick was your phone running 4.1.2 or 4.3 or 4.4.2?
Post back.

If this does not work. Try to flash 4.4.2 Stock ROM. Of that too fails, you have to get it repaired.

Hi I know how irritating soft brick is, I have done it twice and both times I got my phone back using KIES by Samsung.
You can do initialization of the Firmware using an option under tools in KIES, it will ask for ur model number and Serial number. It will install Stock ROM back on your phone with Stock Recovery, just follow the on screen instructions!!
I have done it twice and I think it should work for you too!!.
Let us know if you find another solution!!

I have done it twice so I think it shouldn't be a problem but let me guide you through it:
Install KIES and follow steps below
Step 1 : Click on Tools > Firmware Upgrade & Initialisation
Step 2: Enter Device information > Model Name and click OK.
Step 3: Enter Device's Serial Number (its in the battery compartment, you need to remove battery and note down the S/N)
Step 4 : Read the information and click OK
Step 5 : It will show you the available firmware available and ask to confirm
Step 6 : It will download components
Step 7 : Agree to terms and conditions and you are good to go!

Hey guys im kinda new here and english isnt my native language so mind the punctuation and bad english
so here goes
I have a Note 4 910p which was working fine until i decided to root it with the cf-root method for note 4 available on XDA . everything went fine but i needed root to install few ported stuff from other brands. I wanted to install a ported SONY XPERIA CAMERA , for that i needed a recovery i installed a CWM recovery , i installed the camera and after flashing it and finishing of the work , in the end it asked me if i wanted to root. i didnt know what to do i click okay. so it rooted after that my cell booted and the touch calibration was off . i fixed that by *#2663# code .
the main problem im facing is that after the whole process i cannot install any apks, like i can click the install button but as soon as it starts installing i get an error "App not installed . Package may be corrupted" i thought it was with just one apk file. i tried multiple apks on my cell and other cells. its working on other cells but not on mine. secondly i cannot seem to activate the Private Mode no matter how much i try. i have tried factory resetting it from the OS. ive tried factory reseting it from the CWM recovery. everytime i factory reset the calibration goes whack.
I downloaded 2 different STOCK FIRMWARD Tar files but every time i try installing them , its starts installing and ends with
AUTH Fail in Odin
Please help me.
PS : The Camera Apps From XPERIA package stay no matter how many times i factory reset please help
if it helps i cant post images but i can give u the spec and other details of my cell if it can help u people in understanding my problem

If you just want 100%stock you will need odin so keep trying deferent version of odin, reboot pc and start fresh also boot into download after you pull the battery
Because if you want to use Kies you will need stock recovery even for ota's you need stock recovery so best bet is to get odin to work properly
thank u guys for ur quick response. i couldnt find the proper solution for the APK and Private Mode problem but i did manage to find the solution for going back to stock
What i was doing wrong was that i had the OTA update upto 6.01 and i was trying to flash a 5.0 firmware tar . i was researching where i came across that after the 5.01 update u cant downgrade to older one thats y i was facing the

You shouldnt be flashing pda bro , just to start with you should be flashing ap. secondly that is a very old odin to even have that option so upgrade and thirdly if a device turns on it is not hard bricked. You misinstalled an os you need to wipe . If you didnt screw up your recovery partition try from there if you cant....idk im not going to explain adb because its a lengthy explanation and you would have had to have it enabled in dev options to work so i guess flash anyway. you must be using samsung stock firmware or odin wouldnt flash it needs to be bpa1 or cq....i cant remeber the last 2 idrntifiers but its 6.0.1 the very first marshmellow . You cant get below 5.1.1. Its savable just relax and start over .
