hey everybody,
i hope somebody can help and advise me on my dilema,
i have recently bought a note 2 GT-N7105 LTE from a friend who upgraded to a note 3 and the problem i have is a simple one,the device is locked to EE/Tmobile in the UK and i would like to unlock the bootloader so i can use any sim
from what i have read so far here on the forum i need to flash the existing rom which is 4.4.2 back to 4.1.1 before running the bootloader unlock method i found here on XDA
the information i need is that i was warned that back flashing from 4.4.2 may hard brick the device and would like some confirmation is this is true or not
the device is not rooted and has no custom recovery is pure stock so some advise and maybe even links to solve mt problem would be very much appreciated...thank you

You might have trouble getting an Odin flash to succeed due to the 4.4.2 rom and it's bootloader. Try to flash the device's 4.1.1 modem to allow the menu options needed to unlock the device. Once the unlock is completed you can flash the correct modem back to the device.

what you can do is flash the 4.1.1 modem which should give you the options you need to unlock.

I've read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389426 looks like in order for you to fix that, is you need to have a back up of your efs. And I'm guessing you don't have one.
Try searching through google or here for a way to restore it without the back up. And you can try sending private msg. to experts like dr.ketan. Make sure to thank him if he helps you

[Q] n7100 N7100XXUEMK9 no IMEI odin FAIL KNOX activated

Hi everyone,
I am tried to recuperate a Samsung note 2 GT-N7100 without efs backup and baseband, imei and network lost. KNOX is activated.
Following to "Originally Posted by dr.ketan View Post N7100XXUEMJ5 How to Root + Remove New Bootloader + KNOX Free" from "dr.ketan" I really hope that I can do it. But in the first steep I´m blocked, because when I try to flash "PDA: N7100XXUEMJ5" in the first second appears "FAIL" and the phone said "that is not compatible with this version".
To download the original rom from sammovile like dr-ketan said linking to "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499794" of "Faryaab" and I cant find:

So I download from external webs but am not sure if it doesn’t work or is my phone´s problem.
I explain exactly all my probes that i did before this post, an actually I am really feel that I´m loose this battle, so please if anybody has an idea it´ll be great!
I beging with no IMEI, so the phone can´t take network to use it. Always that become dead the only way to recuperate it is flash via odin:
Model: GT-N7100
Model name: Galaxy Note II
Country: Spain
Version: Android 4.3

PDA: N7100XXUEMK9
After that I can swicth on, but steel without IMEI and network; and of course KNOX activated.
Ok, let´s go to explain what I did before in case this can give aut some information:
1.- To recuperate the IMEI with ARIZA-Path
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-siii-network-problem-update-sn-t1918601
I obtain root access to install busy-box and ariza-patch with KNOX activated. The patch was apply correctly, but it wasn’t recuperate the IMEI
2.- To recuperate the modem or base band using different files
Here I used many post from XDA testing different modems, patch and baseband according of my PDA file in every moment. But still no work, sometimes become in CWM mode "signature fail", other via odin "PASS"; but the conclusion in every case is the same, "phone unknown, no baseband, no IMEI..."
Here I have other question, when u flash the modem, for example "XXDME4 / DXDMF1 / DDMG1" do you have to put only the correct one (DXDMF1 in my case) or all of it. I did both, just to try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584250 to read and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937 to download modems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468119
3.- To recuperate the IMEI via flash Philz after that in CWM using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536418
The same situation
4.- To complete flash and recovery with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154890
I did the same operation in other S-4 and works, but here my problem is:
- The complete pack of 5 files to flash it via odin, I only found for android 4.1.2
- If I try to downgrade with KNOX active, become "FAIL"
- If I try to flash a version of android 4.3 without KNOX, appears one more time the same "FAIL"
Posible solution for that ¿¡?
- Find out a complete flash files for android 4.3 (PDA, MODEM or baseband, BOOTLOADER, CSS and in case Pit file)
- Downgrade to 4.1.2 and install OXA pack that I have it
- Restore it for SAT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261 with flash counter in 0
- Use KIES to restore it (I hate this possible solution) external link obviously in http://www.droidviews.com/firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-solution/
Hopefully u posts it in correct place and someone can help me.
Regards to moderates people and every person who post looking for helps to others.
To Downgrade you N7100 and remove KNOX you need
1. OLD JTAG microSD card
2. Open the phone
3. Short Resistor
4. Power up the phone
5. Wait for success message
6. Assembly back
7. Flash to ANY old SW and Knox will not showed in Download Mode

[Q] Install 4.4.2 from Sammobile manually

Hi All,
Got a small question about upgrading my S4Mini (GT-I9195 LTE) from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.
At the moment my phone is on stock-rom which is 4.2.2 , when i check for 'updates' it says, 'latest updates already installed'.
Also when connecting to 'Kies' , the program says latest firmware already installed..
However when i check the Sammobile website for the GT-I9195 Model there are newer firmware's showing up , Android 4.4.2, but it depends on the country if the firmware is already at 4.4.2.
For the Netherlands, where i'm from, this one is available :
Model: GT-I9195
Model name: GALAXY S4 mini LTE
Country: Netherlands (Vodafone)
Version: Android 4.4.2

However, i'm not with Vodafone as a provider, would that be a problem ?
When i check my phone specs, this is what i get:
AP: I9195XXUBNB3
CP: I9195XXUBNB3
CSC: I9195PHNBND1
Can i just install android 4.4.2 from Sammobile without any problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Network/carrier specific firmware may have custom software or setting for the ROM, it better to find some other model that are as close to your phone's spec as possible to avoid any potential problem.
As if your phone has Know, it would trigger Know if you don't update via the official way.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Knox-flag is already triggered on my phone, but because i had to sent it back to shop for maintenance they reset it back to factory settings (android 4.2.2.)
However, i don't get it the way Samsung is updating the phone's. It's said that 4.4.2 is out for S4Mini , however when i'm searching for my device on Sammobile (I9195XXUBNB3), it still says 4.2.2.
Should I wait with updating, or what else ?

That depends entirely on you... If you wish to preserve the warranty and keep the KNOX, than don't. If you can't wait and don't get bother by KNOX or warranty than go for it.
LOL, too tired, I just realize I keep typing KNOX as 'know'...

I just typed that my KNOX warranty is already void, it's triggerd 0x1.
I'm now just wondering what the best way is for me to update to stock 4.4.2...i'm confused with al the stock-roms that have 4.4.2 for S4Mini on Sammobile.

All the ROM listed on Smmmobile is for different region. And I would also expect there won't be a 4.4.2 for your specific phone since you've check via Kies. So you need to find a phone from another region that are same spec as yours - band, function, etc and prefer not a carrier/network model.
Alternatively you can go for the custom KK ROM here.

Issue updating to Android 10

Hi, I'm kind of not sure which android 10 firmware to install on my S9. Bought a fairly used Galaxy S9 SM-G960U with the phone info below
Baseband: G960USQS5CSEB
AP: G960USQS5CSEB
CP: G960USQS5CSEB
Service provider software version: ATT/XAA/ATT
Now the csc code I found is the confusing part, it has
CSC: G960FXSG5CSEB
I already downloaded the unlocked carrier for G960U1, Hoping to flash it back to default.
Can anyone tell me what to do, cos I can't get updates and I want to upgrade the firmware to android 10. Thanks.
