First, I'm an idiot,,,got new to android,,had no idea about flashing,, so I just randomly picked a Rom, and turned out its a GT-N7100 ROM, now my phone has no signal at all,,, anyone know how to flash back ? or I have to wait a att ROM come out?
BTW, Im with Rogers.
Thanks:laugh:
your gonna have to wait till either someone makes a odin back with a stock rom or makes a stock rom you can flash via recovery.
EDIT: did you make a backup?
this reminds me of the following youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0
Can you give a link to the firmware you flashed? It'd be useful to know if it contained a modem and/or kernel (or not.)
If it contained a modem, you'll need another modem. If it contained a kernel, you'll need another kernel. We have those. Regardless, you'll need to talk someone into getting you a system image (someone that has the same phone as you and has already rooted.)
Also, do you have CWM recovery installed? Is the existing firmware (as trashed as it might be) rooted? Can you use adb?

I just opened the file you linked to.. it includes a modem, kernel, etc.
I know you won't be happy with this, but until an ODIN image shows up, you're kind of out of luck. If someone you know has the same phone, you could ask them to do a backup to an external memory card, and then you restore that backup to your device. Assuming the modem wasn't flashed when you installed, that would get you back into business. If a modem was flashed, you'll need to get someone to extract a modem (and I'm not sure how to go about doing that.)

Please answer ALL of these questions. I can't help you if you don't answer them all...
Does your phone work now, with the exception of connecting to the mobile network?
Are you familiar with adb? If so, are you able to get a shell via adb?
When you plug your phone into your computer, are you able to copy files to/from the phone?
Which custom recovery do you have installed? CWM recovery or TWRP?
Is your phone rooted? (it probably is with a custom firmware - assuming the phone works at all.)

sorry buddy,,,
right now, the phone has no signal, asking for a sim card, which Ive already inserted it.
noepe, I donno what adb is, I tried google it, but I think its too complicate for me.
I'm able to copy files into or from my phone( SD card)
i rooted my phone through this:

donno if i successed,,, but it has a superSU on my screen after I done it,(guess it count as rooted?) and I may used the TWRP
thank you for your help....
now Im back to my old Iphone 4
I updated that post. Basically, I can't think of anything you can do right now.. until an ODIN dump is available - or if someone gets you a backup you can restore. However, a backup won't flash the proper modem (and it appears you also overwrote the modem.)

Perhaps - perhaps not. Until one actually flashes from the other, we don't know. (Many will tell you that they've done it with a different phone model - my answer to that is simply that it was a different phone model. Until its tried with THIS one, we can only guess.)
I think the biggest stumbling block for you right now is the modem. We have a stock kernel and recovery. A "near" stock system partition image can also be made from another device with a simple command. I have to be honest, though, that I have no clue how to extract the modem from these LTE phones.
A recovery (and kernel) can easily be flashed with ODIN (or with dd from a rooted shell.) Same for the system partition (which is, basically, the OS.) Getting a system image might be annoying, as you'd need to find someone with a roger's phone to make it for you, upload it, etc.
The modem, however... I'm not sure how to go about getting that for you. I've never had to create a modem image...
If/when a ODIN package appears, you can use a program that will, basically, reflash your entire phone to stock. Modem, kernel, recovery, bootloader, etc. Everything. Normally, users wouldn't see those ODIN packages, but there are a couple of websites that have access to some samsung servers where they a put. Once they are put there, we can get it...
Take care

Looking forward to this remedy as this is the reason I am jumping from att Galaxy S 3 to the note2. Want my international dev community back!
Unfortunately so far down here in Southern Florida Miami beach there is no white Note 2 anywhere.
For those that have the ATT version of the Note 2, if you've mistakenly flashed the ROM, I highly suggest visiting your nearest AT&T Device Support Center. Since I've previously worked in those centers, they have a propietary Samsung flashing tool that allows them to flash to the stock ROM, even if it's rooted. Granted they'll be able to tell if you've rooted it or not (which may or may not void the warranty, depending on who you talk to), as long as the phone can turn on and go to firmware recovery mode, the flashing works almost 100% of the time and it's a free service.
However, as I got my Note 2 yesterday, I've contacted my nearest DSC and they said that they don't have the ability to flash the Note 2 yet and they may have that ability to do so in the next few weeks or possibly by the end of the year (if you can wait that long). Being that the associates are just corporate drones, if they can't fix it, they'll more than likely replace your phone under warranty (which I don't suggest since the replacements are refurbished, and besides you should be within the 14 day return period for a new phone).
Sorry if it doesn't help the ones who have the Rogers versions.

Im having the same problem. I hope you can roll out a fix!
i have Note 2 ATT, i am having network connection problem. i can't connect to my ATT network connection . i get circle with line in middle.
i took my phone to ATT store and they tried changing the Sim card and even updating my phone to the latest update, but it did not work.
i tried downgrading my phone to stock Rom when i downgrade the phone. it seems to work fine for five minutes or so i even made a call after one call it started showing same circle with line in middle. i tried flashing all different Rom, i even tried re flashing MJ4 modem. nothing seems to work.
i research to find a solution but i didn't find any solution to this problem. right now i am on Sky Note Air 4.3.
please help me i appreciate for any help.
EDIT: i flash back to stock Rom 4.3 with rooted MK6 bootloader. just to see if it makes any different on my networking problem. And still have issue with not networking data.

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Reading your first post, ATT flashed your phone to the latest update??? And changed the SIM? And that didn't work?
Why did you leave the store when your phone didn't work?
They told me they can't do nothing about it and the warranty was voided too.

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

Hello everyone i am in a peculiar situation i recently got s3 from my friend he said that it is I9300 but when i received it i came to know that it is T999 and not I9300 . My problem here is it came with android version 4.1.1 build number : I9300ZSEMC1 i didn't understand why it came with i9300 firmware ( i cannot ask my friend as he does not have much technical knowledge ) everything is working fine occasionally touch does not respond and i have bit of hard time switching on wi fi and weird battery drain problems what i want to know is , is these because of the i9300 firmware being present in t999 and whether is it advisable to update it further from 4.1.1 version to t999 latest stock firmware or to stick with the present version . If it is advisable to update to t999 based stock firmware i want to know whether it will work in indian carriers and wont have any problems and also can someone guide me for the right firmware link / build number to go with. :fingers-crossed:
I didn't know the firmware would actually flash across models.

Isn't the I9300 the 1gbp ram version?
Anyway, if certified in download mode you could just flash t999 firmware.
If that doesn't sound safe you can also put a t999 recovery on it and try doing a backup and installing a t999 rom

Sounds kinda like some of the "frankenphones" we've heard about over the last several months. Or it could also be a fake/chinese knock off. If I were you, I would see if there were any way to send it back to whoever sold it. If you plan to keep it though, understand anything you do is AT YOUR OWN RISK! The only absolutely safe course of action is to do nothing to it. If you try to flash it via Odin, and it allows it to flash, but you chose the wrong firmware, it WILL brick. There is honestly no possible way to know for sure what is up with the device.
If I had to guess, something is lying to you about what you are running. If your current firmware version is from an I9300, then that is most likely what you have. That firmware WILL NOT work on any Qualcomm, US model S3's. This tells me that its probably an I9300, and someone screwed with something, (or was careless when trying to copy Samsung), in the bootloader. Because it tells you it is a T999 in download mode, it will probably not let you flash the I9300 firmware. But if you try to flash the T999 firmware, there is a very good possibility you will brick it.
It is up to you what you want to try, but understand you are taking a bigger than normal risk since you already know the device isnt normal to begin with.
One way you can try to determine what motherboard it uses, (though this is by no means a for certain way to know), is go to the SIM unlock thread in General and try to follow those instructions. Also try the GPS fix thread in the Q&A sticky roll up. If I am not mistaken, both use dialer codes that are specific to Qualcomm devices. If they work, its a better chance of it being a T999. If they do not work, its more likely to be an I9300.

Your best bet is to ask in the rom thread. I have yet to flash anything on my P607T other then rooting. It looks like Dev work is very slow for this tablet. So you may not get a 100% working AOSP rom any time soon. Stock rom is really fast and sable once you root and deboat it. That is what I am sticking with for awhile.

Your best way is to just use TB and froze whatever you do not want. If you run into problems just unfroze it. If you uninstall and you run into a bootloop you will need to have the stock Odin firmware ready. here is a link to get the stock odin file.

I just uninstalled whatever I did not want. If you google What apps are safe to remove on a Note 3 to debloat, it will pretty much be the same as the 10.1. Both the note 3 and the 10.1 are pretty much the same other then screen.

bootloader is unlocked and there is no problems getting root and current Twrp can be installed which says the bootloader is unlock. if the bootloader was locked you wouldn't be able to flash Twrp. from the looks of it no one has a p607. it is all 605 or the wifi only one p600 and 601. stock rom with root and debloated works great. try a 605 rom. hopefully CM starts to pick up more then we are set.

Do P605 ROMs even work on a P607T? I've been wondering that myself. I have a 607T and although I am very impressed with the stock ROM it just is never going to measure up to CM for me.
I've been thinking about giving the P605 CM 11 port a try in a few weeks when it's just a bit more stable, but I have no idea how similar they are or if my device would even boot after flashing it!

You should be asking these questions there... That whole thread is dedicated to making calls on the P607T.... And if you read the thread you'll know the author hit a brick wall and a boot loader hack is needed to flash the proper modem files for phone calls.

Any idea about what sort of problems may pop up from doing this? I got a reply in the CM thread that their P605 version of CM should work fine on my P607 but... Surely it can't be that simple? Any idea what differences there are between thecode of the two tablets or is it really that similar?

I'm 95% sure the only difference physically is the radio "front end" hardware is tuned for the T-Mo LTE frequencies so the modem baseband SW reflects that, and software-wise all that's new is a few pre-installed apps like the "My T-Mobile" app and that (loud-and-annoying-as-hell-and-quickly-removed) T-Mobile "jingle" on startup; I've put several P605 ROMs on my 607T and everything's worked OK ('cause the bootloader won't let me overwrite the radios and potentially-dangerous bootloader files anyway).

Awesome info thanks so much!! So if I understand correctly, any differnces that would render my tablet completely inoperable are already protected from flashing? So I don't need to meet with the TARs for the Roms to remove the modem files or anything?
I mean, I don't mind if my radio breaks or something, I can handle flashing back to stock I am just never sure when I start flashing a new Android device what risks there are of bricking it completely (which, with Knox in the picture, could totally screw me).
So with that I will probably be going flash crazy tonight and tomorrow to test our some different 605 Roms starting with Cyanogen. I'll try to post any findings or quarks here or in those threads!

You will have to remove all the "*.mbn" and "*.bin" files from (Samsung-supplied) non-P607T ROMs, though- Odin will abort the flash if it receives a bad status from the bootloader when the bootloader rejects the flash operation. But it should be a straightforward unzip/rm/zip operation to repack, and I'm sure the CM flashes are just "boot" and "system" (and possibly "recovery") partitions anyway.

so is it necessary to remove the above mentioned files. I can't just flash a p605 rom with twrp?

Yes it is necessary, the .mbn files relate to the bootloader and the .bin files is the modem and NON_HLOS, being that they are for a different ROM it could cause major problems and maybe even bricking. @kcrudup even mentioned the bootloader conflicting with Odin if the device models don't match, so it seems you won't get the 605's installed without removing said files.

Your best bet is to ask in the rom thread. I have yet to flash anything on my P607T other then rooting. It looks like Dev work is very slow for this tablet. So you may not get a 100% working AOSP rom any time soon. Stock rom is really fast and sable once you root and deboat it. That is what I am sticking with for awhile.

I have been looking for a guide for flashing twrp onto my sm-p607t but i cant find one. I mainly need the correct twrp img.tar file for odin. I found this one ( openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-lt03wifiue.img ) but I don't know if it is the right one. I used towelroot to root it and i used the proper supersu to disable knox so i just need the custom recovery now.
First off I NEVER have had rom issues before this, it all started with a failed encryption attempt that soft bricked my phone. instead of re posting what i wrote here is a link to the 2 pg thread in which i received help and thus this is where i am at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701706
OK now ever since then i have never been able to update to a new rom. I believe it let me do it once and i believe i am using an older version of S3Rx.
I believe it may be due to how I updated to 4.3 I would like to get 4.4 as i believe kit kat (tell me if im wrong) will probably be the last android os the S3 will support so i basically want to get the most out of it as i can and also be able to try other roms in general like i used to. Because i currently do not have a sd card I have yet to try anything drastic as i normally use my sd card for backups and rom installs because if something happens to the phone i have the sd card backup.
So in all What should I DO, I have fears of using Odin as the one time it failed on me i bricked a phone and I cant really afford to hard brick this one like i did the other. Although the only thing I can think of being a dumb leach user and non dev. Would be to use odin with the most recent root66 then go from there? Although again lol all i can think of is the above.
Thanks for reading and i hope like the last time I will recieve help to bring back the life to this device. TIA!!
Can you give a little more info on why you can't flash, like an error message or something?

for some reason using twrp and cwm they fail with twrp it normally fails instantly and with cwm it will fail sometime during the install.
I need to put a rom on my phone and ill give exact error. I havce been trying to use the likewise port from att http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile/development/rom-likewise-s5-4-1-tw-4-4-2-ne4-t2879647 I normally use an sd card as i have the 12gb model and some roms are large but i should still be able to succeed (we will see from the error message)
thanks for replying
Alright. Also make sure you are using the latest recoveries

HRM i guess im ok i just installed the latest S3Rx as i wanted to see what made it stop so i chose this rom (because i needed to update anyway) and it had aroma so I thought perfect ill know when it fails but it worked out ive downloaded and tried to install likewise several time at first i thought i got a bad download but ive tried again and for some reason. I have yet to try a 4.4 (i wanted to try likewise so thats why i chose it) so without trying other roms my issue has something to do with going to 4.4 from 4.3 IDK though as i have not tried other roms but no one else seams to have this issue with this rom port?
Any 4.4 rom suggestion to try to find out what the issue is?
currently installed base-band modem should have no impact on rom installation only the fact i wont get signal right?
I just cant think of any reason why i am having the issue?? any ideas anything i should check to make sure its right on my mobile? BTW thanks for coming back to help as this is possibly a stupidity problem which is hard to help how do you help stupid lol?
Try S3rx 4.4.2 or do you mean aosp/cm?.. And correct, baseband/modem won't matter on ROM installation.. I'm sure it's not stupidity, believe me we all get issues we cannot understand at times and the next time you try, problem is gone lol

i personally prefer touchwiz so no aosp or cm and the latest version of s3Rx i though is what i just installed but its only 4.3 not 4.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
installing that works but i still cant get to 4.4 im going to search for one that has aroma maybe it will work do you have any suggestions on a good touchwiz based rom on the latest version of android?
To me Likewise looked the best but trying to get that rom working is what prompted this OP.
I still have yet to try again after this recent rom update as I havent had the time and the battery level is not high enough yet to start as i will need to create a new backup and delete my old ones as i have the 12 gb model and currently no sd card.
I will post back when that has been done to show my results. In the mean time ill be searching for another possibly suitable rom like i already said something with aroma and if you have a preference ill try that first.
S3rx 4.4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2848080 try that and see if it works

it wont change my modem? and it will be OK I NEVER have used a rom other than roms made specially for t-mobile i was always under the impression that's a bad idea? I know att and t-mobile are sometimes compatible though but Ive still always been weary so before i do it you want me to use an att rom on my t-mobile?
Anythi8ng special i should know before i do it (besides thew obvious like make a backup and follow op directions) because im not on att i dont want another soft brick (cant afford to have that happen right now either) and a HARD brick would totally mess me up. (i just paid this off lol)

AT&T I747 users should update bootloaders and modem to NE4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...pdate-t2808654 I747M and T999 users need to be on 4.3 firmware or ROM will not boot.

after reading this it makes me for comfortable so ill try it out Im currently on S3Rx 4.3 so wish me luck I sure hope it works!!
Edit: well I tried it it installed fine but the screen would not display i could feel the phone vibrate as to start up although like i said no boot screen no Samsung loading screen basically yeah I'm having problems with 4.4.X
You don't need to change anything and it won't change your modem, you just need to be on 4.3 firmware

ill try again but the rom you said to try installed fine no problems but after restart no display????? it vibrated so IDK if it even booted. I am really confused I have never had problems like this. Especially with this phone as it has been easy from the start not the case with other devices i have used.
So ill try again maybe a reboot will get it working IDK but i guess ill try it again cross your fingers

You could be on a 4.3 ROM, but have a 4.1.x bootloader.. Download latest 4.3 firmware for your device and flash it with Odin
So yes i must be on 4.1.2 as that was the last time i flashed with odin so i believe you help3ed me with my main isssue now this is something i would like to be sure of:
Can i simply flash the following posted on the s3rx page or will i have to use odin i prefer not to as well i don't know much about it and it scares me as idk how to if possible backup in case of error as the only unfixed problem i have ever had was a while rooting a galaxy s 4g (the one that came with inception) and i walked away and the cord was unplugged and there was an error that it still has about firmware upgrade failure connect to kies and neither kies nor odin will connect to it so its currently in the same situation. So i am fearful of using odin unless it must be done.
Complete 4.3 T999, T999L and T999V bootloader and modem packages.
After flashing DO NOT try to install any older bootloaders or use any other odin.tar other then the latest 4.3 or you will brick your phone.

Would this be enough (would probably use NC2) or will i be better of using the latest root66 with odin? and if so can you give me some tips on odin usage as i would get the latest odin and the latest root66 rom and flash it hoping it works I would try to learn more also but yeah.
It's better to flash the full firmware with Odin imo, but it should be fine. And yes, use nc2
So i think the best cleanest way is to use odin although i have a few questions
First the latest version of odin should work right so 3.09 or 3.10?
Can a backup before this? is there a way to do it?
Lastly the best rom to flash is root 66 NC2 fot t999
Then i will be on a 4.3 bootloader and will be able to use 4.3+ roms?
I have the drivers the latest odin and the root66 image can you direct me on how to do it as a refresher?
I appreciate all your help!!
Please go to Android development an look at [baseband] an just go to first page should help with everything
I believe the root66 thread has instructions
