I'll try to boil this down as much as possible... Bought a used M919 on Craigslist, it was an original MDL 4.2.2 build. I rooted, loaded Fenny's 4.4.2 ROM, had it all going great, then it got blacklisted for unpaid device balance...
Just bought a refurb direct from T-Mo, of course it's NB4 4.4.2. I did TowelRoot, installed current TWRP, restored Data & System, got stuck at the T-Mobile animation screen (so long the phone was getting hot). Flashed back to Fenny's fixed original 4.4.2 ROM, it booted fine, had Wi-Fi & LTE signal, did TowelRoot, installed TWRP again, restored ONLY Data...
Phone boots & runs fine, makes/receives calls & SMS/MMS but I have no Wi-Fi (won't successfully turn on). Also, I'm constantly getting a "Security Notice" saying "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes."
What gives? I've tried re-flashing the separate modem files, but it doesn't help.
Ideas please?

Did you flash the WiFi fix in Fenny's thread? Have you tried a different kernel?
Must've missed the Wi-Fi fix somehow. Thought there were only problems when the MDL bootloader was maintained.
Yes, I'm running Fenny's kernel, 1.2 or 1.3.

I did a search for "Unauthorized actions have been detected" and it pulled up a couple pages for other Samsung devices. You could try doing what they all say to do; I would assume that because I've read the same solution in both the S5 forum and the Note II forum it should work for all Samsung devices... anyway, open up SuperSU and somewhere in the app there should be an option to disable KNOX. That should get rid of that warning.

Hey Guys,
I have an AT&T Model SGH-1317 Note 2. For use on other networks, I unlocked the phone using the *#197328640# menu option. However, the phone failed to start the hot spot stating Mobile data was unavailable or Invalid Sim. However, I am able to tether perfectly using the same sim on an another S3 so I was sure its nothing to do with the sim or network operator settings.
I looked up and found XDA website with tons of information. I assumed my phone was locked by AT&T. Hence, I rooted the phone using CF-Auto-Root, backed up complete data using Titanium and using Rom Manager I installed the Crash Aroma 4.1.2 Rom. I wiped the data and cache 3 times as suggested. However, after the boot I am unable to connect to any mobile network. A Click on Mobile Network says "Insert Sim Card to Access Network Services". Dialling for IMEI number prompt a Null.
During Installation I noticed the Crash ROM has overwritten the Radio.. and I am assuming this is were the problem lies. but I leave it you experts.. Request Help!
Sunil.
What carrier are you using the device on?

Am currently on Du - A network in Dubai, UAE. I have been reading more forum information and some suggest that this may be related to the EFS folder getting corrupted which may cause the IMEI number to fail. Some suggest that there are software to rebuild this information by using the IMEI number behind the handset..
I also noted that my phone model has also changed to GT-7100 instead of SGH-1317, Wonder if the Crash ROM was apt?
Would you suggest installing a Jedi Rom specifically built for SGH-1317... or is the damage already done?
Back Online
Since I found no replies.. I had no choice but to give it to the Pros.. I handed my phone day to one of the Unlocking experts at a mobile store… He was confident that his technicians would resolve this. But after 2 Days, they have given up.. He suggested the phone would fetch me US$ 10 if someone used it as a demo unit at a mobile shop..
I was sure this was something to do with the Modem, IMEI and the all important NV folder. I was able to find a Stock ROM for the SGH-1317 and I also found a link at XDA about using EFS pro to change the IMEI.
Using Odin software, I flashed the phone with the stock rom. Unfortunately, there was one error when it tried to communicated on com1. Having no choice, I continued. Restarting got the AT&T style boot but it again froze on the Samsung screen. Dreading the communication error, I restarted several times with no results. Finally I realised if would be due to the cache and user data. I reset the phone to factor settings wiping out the user data and Whola.. The phone sprang back up..
Lessons learnt.. Backup your rom and data before playing with custom roms. Read Read Read and don’t flash in the middle of the night..
Since I am back online, I plan to stick to the stock and crappy 4.1.1 with all the AT&T dead weight. Will live without the ability to Tether until my fingers get warmer.. It won’t be long as I am already bit by the Custom Rom Devil..
Don't Give Up Easy..:good::victory:
Flashaholics anonymous will help.

Please I am having the very exact same issue and can't seem to have it fixed
Using CMW I also flashed it back to stock rom, didnt have any problem or errors doing it but im still getting No SIM Inserted. I have deleted cache and user data several times... Tried flashing CM10 and CrashRom see if they made a difference and still No Sim Inserted... tried 3 different kernels and still same issue
I have the exact same problem since yesterday. I've tried everything and anything to no avail. I'm very close to returning the phone.
I would really appreciate any input.
Same issue
I flashed crash rom 4.5, over the stock kernel and it gave me that same message. I've tried everything I could think of, which included everything in this thread to no avail... any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your username suggests that you have the N7100 device ??
If so. ..you are in the wrong place for support. ..As this is the SGH-I317 section.
If you are showing IMEI NULL with no baseband you may have to restore your backup image to correct the problem. .
If no backup image exists. ..you will need to flash a factory N7100 image from your section.
Look for the return to stock thread for your specific device and that should fix you up...
The CF AUTO ROOT files are device specific. ..so I hope you haven't damaged the partitions.
Good luck. ..g
Edit:
This will help. ..and will place you in the right section. ..
Just go to page 1...good

so i bought a T999l a few weeks ago had it unlocked, rooted and activated with my existing t-mobile account. For some reason my 4G never worked with them and after several calls they said because my phone was modified they couldn't help me basically. I started with some of the roms from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308514 but ended up going back to stock or prob trying to go back to stock because it still says its modified in status of phone. so i was back to 4.1.2 with uvamb7 kernel. I ended up trying sim cards from different carriers and found out that 4g works with at&t sim cards. so the other day i joined aio and finally had 4glte for the first time on this phone. As the days go by though i started noticing it wasnt keeping 4g or 4g lte when i was moving around. As a matter of fact i have to force it to go 4g or lte by either restarting and getting lucky or by using *#2263# and switching sometimes several times from only lte and gsm to automatic or all lte basebands (which gives me lte but i cant make calls or receive calls apparently) and then switching to automatic. Basically if i get lucky and its getting 4glte on automatic it will be fine until i move to a area where there is no lte then its gone until i force it to go lte again even if i get into a area that has lte/4g. Its like its not automatically detecting its in a 4g/lte area, it just stays on edge until i force it. I then tried the 4.3 rom at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48399478. I sort of got it working but i think i might have been using the wrong kernel because whenever i restart the phone it doesnt load past the galaxy sIII splash screen. If i dont restart however it works but same issue i have to force it to detect when its in a 4g or lte area. So since that wasn't working too well i went back to the stock 4.1.2 setup. So im thinking is this an issue with my antenna or something? I'm still learning this phone so any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
If your had updated to stock 4.3 and if the latest version from Samsung contains KNOX in t999l variant, follow this step !
reboot into recovery mode and clear the cache and restart the phone! this should work..!

i found a t-moblile 4.3 firmware update last night and flashed it using odin. Seems like its not rooted anymore since i'm getting the stock recovery now. I assume wipe cache partition is the same thing right? so i did that and restarted the phone. 4g lte came right up. I make a call and it drops to 4g which is fine considering before it would drop all my data during a call. Here is the thing though after the call it shows full 4g for a couple seconds then no bars, nothing. No data no network and it will consistently do this . im starting to think this phone is possessed
Stop flashing stuff. Odin to stock (4.3 if you have ever flashed 4.3 via odin, 4.1.2 otherwise) and bring it in.
Also, make sure you use the right firmware, or you will hard brick. If you have never flashed 4.3 via Odin, use MB7. If you have flashed 4.3 via Odin, use MK4.
No amount of flashing random stuff will fix your nv data.

I did flash MK4 and i bought this phone off ebay. I don't have a warranty with it. Where exactly am i bringing it in to?
If you have the t999L it has warranty... Hasn't been out long enough for warranty to run out
Bring it in to your carrier (tmo?) And have them reprovision it. It sounds like bad nv data, and unless you have a good backup, the carrier is the only one that can fix that.

I have the same problem, I paid 15 dollars to the unlockpros.com to remotely unlock my T999L. they did unlock it but now 4g data in t mobile is gone, it freeces, on aTT I get 4G but it goes on and off.
I spoke to them and they tried to fix it remotely, the 4g finally appeared again on t mobile network but then after restart same problem again, no 4G data on t mobile,
does anyone has a full NV data backup that I can use to restore?
will a NV backup from another gallaxy 3 work on mines??
hope someone can help.
Don't use anyone else's nv data, major problems if they turn their phone on ever, and legal issues.
Just Odin the root66 mb7 full restore. That will put you to 100% stock, but with root. You can then use triangle a way to reset the flash counter and modified status, then bring it in to tmo. Make sure to tell them not to update you, or you are stuck with the new bootloader. They might update you anyway "for your convenience", just FYI.

Anybody ever have issues with apps? I first had an issue with the stock messages app not allowing me to send out texts to a single person. Been having this issue for about 2 months. Have been in touch with T-Mobile repeatedly and they reset the signals and everything each time to no avail. Last rep I spoke with said to bring it in to a T-Mo store and get them to change out the SIM (in case that was the issue) and get them to do a back-up & reset. That too did not help. Eventually I downloaded the Google Messaging app and through that I'm able to send out normal person to person texts again but not through the stock app.
I've also got issues with apps having updated versions yet the updates aren't available in Google Play Store for me to download. For example, on June 27th, NCP Mobile came out with version 1.8, but it's still not showing. I've been in touch with the National Consumer Panel, and they say as long as I'm running Android 4.0 or higher (actually running 4.3, rooted- stock ROM) I should see the update available.
I've also been experiencing issues with Perk apps (namely Perk Browser and Perk Search & Win) not allowing me to sign in via Facebook or with email and password. Password reset links almost never get sent. The 2 times they did finally send me a reset link it directs me to the Perk homepage also on which I cannot sign in. I'm in touch with them regarding these issues too.
The last app (as of right now) that I am experiencing problems with is CSI: Crime Scene. The app doesn't allow me to connect to facebook to play with friends like I do when I'm on facebook.
Hi, I am needing help with a troublesome issues since updating my Samsung S3 LPH-710 (sprint). I have been a long time root user and kept up with all of the updates and changes throughout the years. However, I updated and flashed my root and my phone had WIFI issues. WIFI would not event be allowed to turn on. So be it, I was able to re-flash 4.3 firmware and unroot. WIFI works fine but the phone still glitches on some issues.
I then tried to downgrade to 4.1.2. through ODIN v 1.85 and have also used v3.07 and systems and everything passes just fine. My phone reboots with 4.3. Similar, I have tried rooting 4.3 with as many different md5 being talked about in the forums that are compatible and NOTHING. I get the pass but my phone does seems to be re-looping.
I am not sure what the DEVS behind 4.3 have done but it has stumped us quite a bit; looking forward to some fixes or help on this issue in the near future.
I should have known not to upgrade and research this new update before downloading as I have been watching the back and forth complexities throughout the years.
Thanks!

You cant downgrade from 4.3, it will not work. Due to Knox boot loaders.

I was able to root using the [CF-Auto-Root] method and so far everything seems to be working fine including WIFI. I will have to re-install all of my apps and APK before finalizing my assessment.
For the WiFi issues though, it can be fixed by deleting your existing SSiD in the saved WiFi connection list then select advanced turn select WPS push button. Nowpush the WPS button on your router and wait for it to sync. This worked to all my friends who are having a problem.
Thanks! Smooth sailing, all is fine now.
Hello, I used to own a GS3 and had it rooted and everything just fine, but I sold it when I broke the screen. I recently purchased a used one off Ebay and want to get back root and custom ROM. The seller had the firmware updated to 4.4.2 stock and of course it is bloated to hell. I managed to get the root installed, however I flashed a new rom and modem and now have no network connection. I have tried modems LK3, MJ2, and MJB and none have worked. Also, somewhere down the line I managed to break the wifi, as when I try to turn on wifi it instantly switches off.
I remember it being very easy to root back when the device first came out, I was on a Galaxy Nexus previously and everything. Another thing to note, once I got the root installed I made a backup in cwm and even restoring this backup I have broken modem and wifi. How ****ed is my phone?
EDIT: I managed to find the elusive NE4 modem that was not in the "all modems" thread. This fixed my issue. Feel free to close thread mods
Closed at OP request.

Next I tried to put back to stock firmware T800XXU1ANF8_T800XAR1ANF6_HOME.tar but gets so far then just fails.
It is a new UK Samnsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 UK.
