[q] radio messed up?

I have a galaxy s 2 tmobile version rooted and running beastmod 5.0
So I'm having a problem. I flashed the ics roms to my t989. I was running bm 5 before. I called the #2632* thingy to just get edge instead of 4g because it was killing my battery. I decided to go back to bm 5 cuz the ics ports based on the att leak were horrible. Usually on bm 5 I have GSM only selected for the network but it hasn't been able to connect. The only way I can connect is by using wcdma/gsm auto mode to connect to T-Mobile then I can select GSM only to just use GSM. If I restart with GSM only again it wont find signal unless wcdma/GSM is seleceted then I switch to GSM only. Idk what to do anymore GSM only used to work before I flashed ics and this is pissing me off help me anyone please! Its greatly appreciated.

Did you flash a gingerbread radio before going back to bm?

I did I found the t989 radio on xda I flashed it and it didn't work its the same problem.

Hit the darkside part of my siggy and look over the OP. Superwipe is a script by tdj recommended prior to any ROM flash.

Ok, you are going to need the drivers for your phone. http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
You need odin as well, download it. http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
If you already have drivers and odin move on to below
Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and make an account. I use sammobile because it contains everything in one shot. No need to get radio and crap from other places. After you make an account go to firmware section and type t989 in the search box. download the t989uvkid or Kl1 ASSUMING YOU HAVE AMERICAN T989
After you have completed the download you are going to need to unzip it with 7zip to extract the tar.
Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding buttons when the ''Warning'' appears.
Press Volume UP and open ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
Click PDA and locate the MD5 file you extracted earlier.
WAIT FOR ODIN TO RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. THE COM PORT WILL TURN YELLOW AND HAVE A NUMBER
MAKE SURE NOTHING BUT AUTO REBOOT IS CHECKED!!!!!!!
Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
phone will reboot automatically.

thank so much for the instructions however
this llink doesnt work for the DRIVERS doesnt work
and i had the superwipe already and thanks lol silly me.

If you go to Samsung website and download Kies, the drivers will automatically update.

[Q] My Galaxy Note II soft bricked, please help!!

Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.

There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!

Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Thank you both a lot. I am trying your solutions now. I will post back if it worked.

You both are life savers. My phone is back up and running.
Can't thank you all enough.
Thanks.

Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

What do you do if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone plugged in the USB? I tried to delete the Samsung Drivers and reinstall but it didn't work. I can get my phone to Odin mode but can not get it to flash.

Make sure you've installed Samsung usb drivers.
Edit: should have read your entire post *sorry* Make sure there are no other usb related proggies running; they might interfere with your sammie usb drivers..

[Q] Cant get into recovery, stuck on boot

Hey... i searched for a solution and couldn't find one....
So i tried to install the Omega rom, the process went by pretty quickly, that's when i became suspicious.
Now i can turn my phone on, but there is something... strange... for instance once the screen turns off, the phone plays dead until i restart it.
i can get into download mode, and i did, tried to install cwm6 again, but it didnt work.
and if i try to go into recovery mode (vol up home and power) it just hangs on the "Samsung galaxy note 2 n-7100" screen.
Thanks for the help in advance =]
edit: Forgot to mention, if i plug it into the pc, windows/kies doesn't recognise it.

:< Please help me i am completly lost and beating my self up for trying this foolishness

Did u check "usb debug" on your device? Try samsung driver instead.
Try reflash recovery via pc odin again.

Might wanna try TWRP as people have been having issues with CWM when flashing ROM's.

Hey thanks for the answers, i indeed check usb debugging and it is on.
i also relized i SOMEHOW managed to download the galaxy s3 rom instead of the note 2 rom and flash it, and i guess thats the problem, however im sure it didnt flash right, any way i downloaded the correct rom and flashed it using mobile odin, every thing worked fine
however i still cant get into recovery mod, and the problem where the device stays in sleep mode is still there...
Im going to try this TWRP thingy now

By the way, as noted by Adam Outler, you should not use ODIN to continuously flash ROM's. Just to reset phone if needed. Using ODIN to flash ROM's will only turn out badly.

The thing is it used to work earlier, before ive gone and messed it all up

Sorry you're not having much luck. Maybe one of the brilliant devs will hop in and lend some thoughts. I'm out of ideas at the moment.

Thanks any way dude, appreciate it.
Im going to sleep, but let me reiterate the problem.
- Tried to flash a Galaxy s3 rom onto the Note 2, dont ask me how i made this mistake
- something.. happened during the flash
- now the phone wouldn't connect to usb (so i cant use odin) and after the screen turns off it wont turn back on again without switching the device off and on
- eventually downloaded the note 2 rom (omega) and flashed it using mobile odin, this time the proccess finished fine, but...
-Still cant connect the phone to the pc usb, (it charges tho, drivers are installed)
-Screen still wont come back on after it turns off

Shameless bump =[

Man.......
im guessing this problem is not a common one eh?
I hate to spam but im really lost, having this 600$ mirrior feels bad :<

Have you tried flashing a stock rom with odin mobile? I've not used odin mobile so I have no idea what it can and can't do. But you could try flashing a stock rom and then put Cwm or twrp after you have checked it

Sorry, I forgot the s2 does not have fastboot mode. You should download the stock rom zip and gapps onto your SD card. Then factory reset. Install the stock rom and gapps. Then factory reset again. Make sure you have the proper rom. I've had bootloops like you when trying to install certain roms. Currently my wife's s2 t989 is running cm 10.1.2 with no problems. Cm 10.2 would cause bootloops. If you are getting to the Samsung logo your phone is not bricked, so don't worry. We just have to figure out what's going wrong with your install process. Let me know what happens.
Did you flash a custom recovery? And if so which one? This will be needed before flashing roms.

the way I'm working is THE FOLLOWING:
First, I have samsung drivers installed on my notebook and the phone is recognized.
Second, open the odin program, and on the phone I press vol +, vol + and connect the USB cable, the phone starts in download mode ...
third, odin in pda select rom with. tar.md5, I remove the selection to "re-partition" (sometimes I leave selected)
Fourth, I start ...
wait a while, the installation goes well (I sometimes appears "fail") but usually completes the installation, the phone restarts (odin says that ended with "pass") once it restarts in case of using a rom T-Mobile, the logo appears on the screen, shuts down or restarts ... and no more lights, again only shows the samsung logo and restart every two seconds about ...
I guess I'm doing the procedure well, do not know if anything else can fail ...
I do not know if it's possible to "format" the phone, leave it completely to zero and see if that way I can mount a rom ... by the way, a couple of the rom I downloaded from sammmobile.com so I think that should be the corresponding ...
I hope someone can help me please ...

respect to recovery, well this phone apparently was installed a wrong rom, had no recovery, I try to install the cwm apparently installed fine, but when trying to enter the recovery, as it appears again, the phone restarts just what mentioned earlier

Did you preform a NANDROID backup before flashing?
If not you probably will have to install KIES and firmware upgrade from there. I had to do this a few times with bad roms/recoveries.
You can try CMinstaller (easiest way to flash rom), but unless you enabled usb debugging, it may not work...

This is the only thing that I can think of that may work. I've done this a few times.
Download and install Samsung Kies on your computer if you do not have it already installed on it.
Note down your phone’s Serial number somewhere. You can find it under the battery of your device or the box your brand new device came with.
Launch Kies and click Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
Connect your device to computer using USB cable.
Enter your device model name in all CAPS (GT-I9500, for example) and click on OK.
Then you will be asked to enter the Serial Number of your device.
Once again, select OK on the next screen.
Doing this will force Kies to download the require firmware update files for your device.
Respond and confirm all securities warnings to clear the way for emergency firmware installation and then select Start Upgrade.samsung-firmware-restore
Kies will now start downloading firmware files and the process might take several minutes depending or data connection speed.
When it is finished, new firmware will be installed on your device and you will see: samsung-firmware-restore-complete
Click on OK and disconnect the cable.
Reboot your device and done!

Launch Kies and click Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
Connect your device to computer using USB cable.
Enter your device model name in all CAPS (GT-I9500, for example) and click on OK.
Then you will be asked to enter the Serial Number of your device.
Once again, select OK on the next screen.
Doing this will force Kies to download the require firmware update files for your device.
Respond and confirm all securities warnings to clear the way for emergency firmware installation and then select Start Upgrade.samsung-firmware-restore
Kies will now start downloading firmware files and the process might take several minutes depending or data connection speed.
When it is finished, new firmware will be installed on your device and you will see: samsung-firmware-restore-complete
Click on OK and disconnect the cable.
Reboot your device and done!

It seems that way. But maybe someone else here knows how to go about fixing it. The only thing that leads me to believe it is dead, is that you can't boot into recovery even after Odin.
If anyone can figure out a fix, please share, I'm a bit curious...

I just want to confirm your method for entering recovery. With the phone off and not plugged in you hold down both volume buttons and the power button. When the phone vibrates release the power button, and continue to hold down both volume buttons. Do not release volume buttons until the phone boots into recovery. This is what you are doing? I just want to cover the simple things before asking you to try more in depth possible solutions.

Check out this thread about faulty/dirty power buttons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310

you flashed with a nearly dead battery? I always charge mine to 100%. I've had issues where my phone won't boot up properly like what yours is doing when the battery hits 0%.
I'd plug it in and leave it for half an hour or so and see if it boots then. Let it charge to 100% and then put on either CWM or TWRP (I've had better luck with TWRP personally) and flash your ROM from there.
I've never had luck flashing anything but recovery and stock from Odin. Other things seemed to be a little flaky.
Also, since this is in the T989 forum, I'm presuming you have the T989 which I believe the recovery buttons are vol+ and power not both (but I could be wrong).
Once other thing you could try is grab a copy of the android SDK (specifically ADB) and run:
adb logcat > boot.log
and post the file it creates (called boot.log). Also, try running:
adb reboot recovery
to see if you can get into recovery mode. I THINK (but have never tried) that ADB should work from download mode. Try booting into download mode and running adb reboot recovery to see if that helps.
That is my best guess anyways.

HELP Note II stuck on splash screen

Dear all. I have a note II that has gone wild. The phone was working fine but then I received a note 4 and put the note 2 aside. Then I was trying to install root and was able to do so by installing TWRP V2.8.3 and everything went smooth and the phone was rooted. I then used the phone for a while but switched to the note 4 after. Now, 5 months after, I wanted to check something on my olde note II. I charged the phone and switched it on but it was stuck on the Galaxy note II screen I rebooted then rebooted but still the same. I went in the TWRP recovery to try to do something but I was not able to because it says that it cant mount storage, cant mount efs, cant mount data, cant mount cache and cant mount system.
Then I have decided to install the firmware image from zipped file but that did not work as it sees that the internal and external storags are 0 and cant mount them.
Then I opted to try and install the firmware PDA through Odin but that also did not work as Odin was not able to detect the phone. Now I'm clueless and not sure what to do the only thing I'm able to do is boot in TWRP recovery and that is all. Can any one help.
My phone had the latest official rom from samsung the 4.4.2
Please help

classic, just search. there is a thread with tutorial how to get your n2 back to life. you could also have sds, but try different odin and flash with pit

Ok now I'm in a worse situation. I have managed to get to the download mode and connected it to ODIN and tried to flash with the stock rom but at the end of the writing process it failed and started to get a message on the phone to connect my device to kies and try again. I tried that but did not do anything. Then I tried Odin again but this time I unticked the auto reboot. then clicked start. The same thing happened as before and writing failed now though my phone is blank it does not show anything and it does not want to turn on and no LED that is turning on nor the charging icon. I searched the net and someone suggested that the battery is damaged. I replaced the battery but still no go. Please I really need to get that phone back alive. I think I bricked it. any ideas or directions to help me with this annoying case. I cant even boot to recovery nor download please help

Odin dont detect Phone in Download mode, right?
So test another USB hub or an other or Official Samsung USB connector.. When nothing work try another PC and Flash the Firmware in PDA.

As I said when I remove the battery and insert it back the phone remains blank no response to any button pressed.
What I did is that my phone was stuck on opening screen samsung screen. Then someone suggested to flash it with the stock rom. So I went to Sammobile site and downloaded the latest firmware. I tried to install it to my phone using ODIN and just before the end. ODIN failed. I tried it the second time and the same happened. then the third time I read that I have to untick auto reboot. I did and tried ODIN for the 3rd time and on the third trial I got the same fail message and then I wanted to boot into download mode for the forth time but this time the phone went dead and not responding to any button press. I hope that this explains the situation

Hmmm.. That Sounds really tricky.. Never saw a Device before thats so bricked.. When really nothing worked from this Forum may you let an expert give a look on your Phone, i know some official Samsung shops, maybe they can help.. Sry that i cant hell you like you want it and sry for my Bad English.. Good Luck with your Note 2

No worries bro. At least you are trying. I have never seen this before either and I'm stumped and where I'm I dont think I can find any samsung pro shop. All what they are going to say is the motherboard is dead and you need to change it. I do have another phone but I hate it when a devise does this to me
