Well guys I've got a note 2 n7100 and as usually, the first thing I did was flashing a rom to it (dn4 to be specific) everything went fine and so on but the problem now is that I bricked as it seems my efs and I didnt make a backup. Any suggestion about how to fixe it? (I'll rather a solution without uninstalling the ROM but any solution is welcome)

flash modem or go back to stock with Odin
you'd better do EFS backup

I thought about doing that but I want to know before doing it if there is any risk flashing modem in a custom rom, can you answer me that?

my advice is stop experimenting now. because u screwed up ur phone. now u need to restore your efs if u had backed it up during rom flashing. if not u must reflash stock rom via odin. guides are available for both cases, read carefully and follow. ur phone will be fine. donot panic.

You will need to scroll down to rescue firmware use the first rom for united kingdom and you will need to use odin with pit. This will wipe your sd card aswell so back it up to your pc. Also make sure you have an intact efs backup before doing anything. DO NOT RUSH OR PANIC and read the instructions carefully and remember you need to use rescue firmware with pit file.
Hope this helps..

hi
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255943. try this. or this-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922473
Good day to all!!!
I've gone into bootloop, and having a hard time finding a link to my previous rom which is N7100XXUEMK9-COA(MJ9). So I decided to download at Sammobile a N7100XXUFNG4(FND2) -Philippines coz I'm from Philippines. And I flashed it thru odin. Installed PhilzTouch, rooted and done. After using it for a few days, while reading some threads to other forums. I finally found a link to my previous rom. I've successfuly downloaded it.
I'm just wondering if I can directly flash this N7100XXUEMK9(MJ9) back to my phone which is N7100XXUFNG4(FND2) now using odin again? Can I flash this without losing my IMEI, Modem, Wifi or my EFS being corrupted?
By the way 4.4 is fine. But on my own observation, it drains my battery faster than 4.3. So if there's a chance getting back to 4.3, maybe I'll grab the chance. If it's going to be complicated, maybe I won't do it anymore.
Sorry for a the long story. Hope somebody can help me. Thanks all.
Anyone? Please. Thanks.

I am unsure about this, if you have upgraded bootloader, you are stuck with latest bootloader, however you can downgrade rom, unless I am mistaken.

Thanks. But actually this has been answered to the other thread of Dr.Ketan. Here's his post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55076259&postcount=571
dr.ketan said:
You can't downgrade with Odin if your existing bootloader is kitkat. Though you can use mobile din to downgrade to 4.3. And regarding IMEI, No one can say whether you will lose it or not because even you doing everything correct there are still minimal chances to lose it (any bad flashing can cause it) but make EFS backup and copy it to multiple places. I stroingly recommend to make backup efs in .img format (search play store for "Dr.Ketan Hindocha" and you will find IMEI Tool N7100/N900 which makes backup on said format)

But anyways, thanks for your reply. Mod can now close this. Thanks.
Hey guys!
So, I installed Dr. Ketan's Custom ROM V8 on my brother's Note II (N7100) sometime back. It was earlier on roooted stock 4.1.2, so naturally, it had no WiFi on V8. Since it wasn't required at that point, I did not care about fixing it, but now WiFi as well as Hotspot were needed. So I flashed the KitKat Bootloader using Odin as per the instructions on the ROM thread, and it rebooted and was stuck on the Samsung bootlogo. It went into download mode but no recovery was there. I tried flashing stock recovery as per the instructions on the thread but it was persistently stuck on the bootlogo. I've also tried flashing the MJ5 Bootloader and WiFi fix from here, but it failed on Odin. Then I flashed TWRP, and CWM too but all in vain So, basically it is bricked(?)
I do not have recovery access to reflash the ROM. It was working perfectly before that (sans the WiFi) but I don't know what went wrong. How do you guys think can I get it back to working normally?
I know this type of questions have already been asked on this forum and I have read all those threads. But no method seems to work.
So I'd request for your help. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
Bump!
Guys, I need a solution quickly because there is no alternate phone for him to use. Please help me out here.
Maybe nobody is replying because we're out of ideas. Did you tried to restore firmware with KIES. There was an option there if I recall correctly.

Your best bet is flashing official stock ROM 4.4.2 ( I think FNE1 ) is latest for India via Odin and hopefully it resolves the issue

did you use Odin to flash TWRP? I have never had any problems flashing 1st TWRP via Odin.
Make backup of EFS and keep it in safe place, everything else is not so important

Yes I used Odin, maybe with wrong TWRP file? is that possible?
Thanks for your anwser. I did that with a program called Titanium Backup
Do i restore it the same way i did the backup (same app) ?
What if it fails to restore it? Im afraid to try it again, it was a shock, though i bricked it
Some versions of TWRP don't do that. I used 2.8.0.0. But I just got tired of it and just used CWM philz advanced. I only use TWRP when i need to fix permissions.Also you can restore your IMEI by using Kies.

You should always always backup every partition. Especially efs.
Anyhow, what service are you trying to use? GSM or CDMA?
If your using it with GSM, and If this phone is truly a sprint phone, it probably got sim locked when he fixed it. I ain't no expert but it probably needs unlocked if this is the case.
Edit: I just understood what you wrote, that he already unlocked it. Sorry for misunderstanding.
But if your using it with sprint, maybe it just needs activation updated. I don't use sprint or CDMA so I don't know a lot about that.
But main thing you need to do before anything else. Is make a full back up of your partitions. I always make backup in two.( Which is mainly all you need)
But also there are programs that (I can't remember there names,) make backups of all your hidden partitions, just in case.
I understand I didn't provide you with a definite answer to your problem but hope it can help.

Can to send me a copy of your build.prop
Edit. Are you using sprint stock ROM? What version? Are you sure it's unlocked? If yes, I might be able to help. But I have to gather some info. And get to my PC. Cause I'm testing a ROM right now and am lagging
I have faced the same problem and, managed to solve it. Here is the solution..
1. Download any kk or lp firmware of n910p. Extract the .tar file, get the ' modem.bin' and flash it using Odin. Do it twice, yes, twice. Before flashing the modem, make sure you have unchecked 'auto boot' option in Odin. To turn off the phone after the first flesh, just take off the battery.
2. Download twrp 3.0.1.0 for n910f. Yes.. TWRP recovery for N910F ( or the model specified under the battery). Flash it using Odin.
3. Download any stock based custom ROM which is based on the modem you have flashed. For example, BOB7, COG5 , COK1( these are the last 4 characters of the stock firmware/modem)
4. Flash the custom ROM using twrp, flash gasps, and smile.
If you face bootloop, just try different kernel. I'm using BOB7 modem, emotion kernel, vision x custom ROM.

yes i am sure phone is unlocked through Domestic Unlock ( z3x & octoplus Boxes)
also i am on Stock 5.1.1 lollipop
I think the only way u can help me is by sharing a good QCN and EFS for N910P ! (if the above solution from our friend doesnt work 4 me )
Also i am from another country so there is no harm for you if u share it with me in private.
Thanks in Advance !
