I recently learned to flash,
So I used TWRPV to flash coz i cant access the recovery mode becoz of rooting.
1.Flashed Slim Bean. Worked perfectly.
2.Try to flash jellybam. Got flashin failed.
3. Reflshed Slim Bean.
4. Tried to flash Miui rom. Again got error, after googling i found that i have to delete two lines from the script in miui rom with note++
I did that but not worked, then i myself checked the slimbean script, and deleted some more lines from miui script and flashed, still not worked.
5. I did same to jellybam. Then one of jellybam rom worked.
6. Now after reboot some times note 2 switch off itself when in pocket or in table. Or sometime while charging with big battery on screen with stuck tiny round circle. I have to remove the battery to switch on.
and i can't turn on bluetooth also USB not working. In pc device manager when i connect phone to pc via usb it shows CDC COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (7 times), and Com neon Suspend (1 Times)
7. Now using slimbean but problem is still there.
Any idea what happened to my n7100, is my phones efs corrupted, or soft/hard bricked,
I don't have any backups.
Can anybody please help me. I posted it here coz I can't find the same problem anywhere. There arevsimilars but they are different.
And bad English coz I'm Apatani.
Sorry for that.
My note 3 was SICK from some times (from 7 Months)
Some said it was EFS corruption. my problem was occurred because I flashed my N7100 with MIUI rom built for Galaxy S3.
My Bluetooth was not turning ON (Blank in bluetooth adress), Usb not workin with PC, turning of or Freeze while phone sleeps or auto lock.
Tried many things Flashed different Modem or Kernels, Flashed all of the custom roms available for N7100, Flashed Stock from SamMobile site.
and Lost hope... then I continued my daily life with my N7100 (using Red EYE sleep disabler)
But now today I already using Ditto Note 3 v.3.0 (Used v.1.0,v.2.0,)
today Flashed Ditto Note 3 v.3.1.1 with aroma
Selected everything in Aroma Inataller (Including Updated Modem)
then in First Boot my N7100 Freezed while i was entering my Wifi Pin First Device Setup
Waithed for more then 1/2 hour but still Freezed...
then i rebooted it with removing my N7100 Batteries
then again Boot and it Widened my eyes, my mouth was open, and i was Smilin...
My N7100 Bluetooth was turning ON, my USB is connecting to PC without any secret code for UART mode, my Phablets screen turned off, I waited for around half Hour and then i Pushed my Home Button and it respond and turned on the Screen.
Firstly your very brave to do this or your too Rich to afford a new device if you brick it .
Now firstly Please dont make any changes to the existing Rom that you have downloaded seeing other Rom scripts ,
Now before flashing any rom go trough the OP to understand what OP has mentioned about flashing.
Dont Refer to Google refer to ROM OP OR THREAD any question you have post it there so you will get quick response.

Well since your phn is acting weird better flash stock rom via odin and see if the prob persist if all is fine then gv a fresh start flashing recovery and stuff and use philz recovery for flashing if it acts weird than just make the flash counter 0 and take it to service center for precise details go though ketan thread

Download Stock ROM,
Flash it it Via Mobile Odin or PC ondin,
Once flash completes Boot into recovery and do a Factory Reset+User data ,this will wipe everything on your device memory .
and then tell which rom you want to flash ill guide on how to do it.

Actually, I think I found out what exactly happened to my note 2.
The ROM I tried to flash was for s3 (MIUIv5 I9300 Note 2 Edition 3.6.21 by @muchopoli83)
This ROM was flashed after removing the two lines from updater script, the assert lines.
But after flashing my phone didn't started so I changed the ROM.
So, what should I do. Is stock ROM still important.
If yes can u please give me the link.
I found one with pit file in xda but that link is not working
And some guys with similar problems are talking that every stock ROMs are not working for problems like this.

Can you tell me what happened to my note2, efs damage or soft/hard bricked
And what should I do.
Please tell me.:crying:
Still got the problem
Still got the problem and cant find any solution
anybody any idea
Simply go to recovery wipe everything including format_system,
then choose any rom from N7100 development thread as your suitability .
and flash in recovery as per instructions given in OP
Then tell here what happened
looks like efs croupt no worries just flash stock rom from odin then root it with cf-root method
use triangle away to remove the flash counter and then reboot unroot from su app and ur good to go to service center
just tell them i updated this phone to latest from ota and it failed iam when it restarted there was no cellular

Do you have GSM network?
Flash Stock ROM via PC Odin v3.09 and use re-partition and Nand erase all with PIT file, Freset Autoreboot.
After flash complete everything must be ok.
I had the same problem few weeks ago. I also tried to flash alot of ROMs but same problem exist. found a solution to this problem yesterday this is what I did
1. Download leaked 4.3 it will take time because the file is 1.2gb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499794
2. After download flash it via Odin in pda. Make sure auto reboot and f.Reset time only have check.
3. If the flash fails, it's ok but make sure it already flashed the radio and modem.
4. Reboot again in download mode then flash Philz recovery
5. Reboot in recovery mode then flash slimbean rom or any rom you prefer.
6. Install gapps
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Reboot and your ok now
I'm in slimrom build 2 now. Bluetooth is ok and no more reboot when phone sleeps after few seconds.
Hope this helps.

So I'm currently running Cyanogenmod version 10.2.0 .. Android 4.3.1.
I've updated to the newest version of TWRP.
I factory wipe, then try to install a different ROM.. for example I've tried PA & AOKP.
Every time I try this it fails within 1 second and I have to restore a backup and go back to Cyanogenmod.
EDIT: I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S3
I have attached an image of when I get an error when I try to flash.
UPDATE:
Alright so I was able to get past that error by going into advanced wipe and selecting "System". Now when I flash I get a new error. I am attaching a new picture.
You need to give more info on the error

Update your recovery. You're using TWRP 2.5.5.0 when the latest one is 2.6.3.1. If you can't boot into Android, Odin the TWRP recovery. Also, make sure you completely wipe your internal storage before flashing a custom ROM. If that custom ROM isn't working for you, try another one to see if that flashes since that would indicate that the custom ROM you're trying to flash could potentially be a bad download.
You also need to post more information about your phone.
Which custom ROM are you using?
Which kernel are you using or trying to use?
etc etc.

I've tried flashing multiple ROMS.. Slimbeam.. AOKP.. ParanoidAndroid.. I've downloaded from GOOManager and I've also downloaded from external links and put on my external SD card. Nothing works. Like I said in the OP I am running Cyanogenmod 10.2.. Android 4.3.1. I'm using the Ktweaker kernel.
I updated my TWRP from Goomanager and it only updated to 2.5.5.0. How do I get it to update to 2.6.3.1?
So I just went to update TWRP from goomanager again and when it went to download it failed because "invaid MD5 sum".
Edit: So I tried updating again and it said it was successful. I rebooted into recovery and it still says 2.5.0.0
I'm lost.
Same problem happened to me last night, I tried to install the modem again but the same error keep coming up.
To everyone with issues updating recovery. Goo has a openrecovery script issue. Your best bet is to flash latest Recovery using Odin. You may choose to use Mobile Odin if you feel like it.
Can't restore anything except Kitkat
I keep getting the same error, except I can't flash or restore any rom that isn't kitkat (all the kitkat roms are buggy so i want 4.3 back). I reflashed twrp 2.6.3.1 with odin but its still not letting me flash anything.
Also if it helps I can't copy anything from the internal SD to the external SD using twrp file manager.
Older Rom's backups can't be restored due to file system changes. You will have to wipe everything and flash fresh if you want 4.3
I tried the latest version of TWRP, and I'm on StockROM by TeamInferno. I got V7 and I saw an update on it last night (V8) so I downloaded it and tried to install it fom Clockworkmod recovery and it didn't work so I tried TWRP and the same thing happened. Do I have to wipe everything to update my ROM?
Nothing will flash except Kitkat

Ive tried that multiple times. once the Odin flashable tw 4.3 downloads, I'm going to try that but I can't flash any fresh roms using twrp except 4.4 (Jellybam to be specific).
I tried Stockorama 4.3 tw, but it would just reboot after getting past the "samsung galaxy sIII" screen (tried insecure kernal too). I'm wondering if I'm in a weird soft brick or something

What is your TWRP Version ? Also what is your Bootloader version ? (No its not the baseband)
My bootloader is T999UVUEMJC
My baseband is uvuemjc
TWRP is version 2.6.3.1 (I've also tried 2.6.3.0)
I think it got updated bootloader/baseband when I odin flashed stock tw 4.3 (the only jellybean ROM that works)
I also made a backup of my 4.4, but it wouldn't let me restore even that.
You have been talking about 2 different things.
1. Flash a New Rom - Either Touchwiz or AOSP. $.3 or newer.
2. Restore a Rom - I think you are talking about a Nandroid Restore.
If you are referring to Point 1 as "Restore Rom" then you need to change terminology in order to help us understand your problem correctly. Re-Flashing a rom that you used to have is still Flashing not "Restore".
With that UVUEMJC Bootloader, you can completely forget about flashing previous Touchwiz Firmwares such as UVDMD5 or UVDLJC. If you tried them, you WILL brick your phone. If you tried Custom Touchwiz Roms based on those 2 firmwares, it may or may not work.
Now if you are trying to flash a AOSP Rom, either 4.3 or Kitkat 4.4, and you do have latest TWRP, (2.6.3.1), please specify the error message in detail.
You must do Factory Reset and Wipe Dalvik + Cache in the Recovery before flashing the AOSP Roms.
am I able to flash this StockMOD Custom ROM 4.3 RLS2.1 for att or tmobile, over my existing stock 4.4.2, my modem as of now is i747UCUFNE4 but the rom description says to flash the 4.3 modem or it wont get data? someone help me out
heres the rom url http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903

since im coming from stock 4.4.2 do I only wipe cache n dalvik before flashing
You will most likely have to factory reset since you are downgrading.
You can try just wiping dalvik, but if it hangs at boot youll have to factory reset.

Thank You I tried wiping cache n dalvik, it hung but I went back in to twrp n wiped cache n dalvik again after install, worked like a charm!!!!!
hank you very much but can you answer me one question is there anyway you or another could port the revolutionary s5 v3 to the i747 it looks so amazing they only have it for the s3 i9300 not the s3 i747
Afaik, porting from tbe i9300 is a pretty difficult process. The device is very different from ours. Not saying it isnt possible, but I dont think we've really ever had any ports from that device.
I wont be able to try as I just have too much on my plate already and not enough time as it is. Sorry....maybe someone else will tackle it....

well thank you very much for responding you've been a very patient n helping hand if you could maybe you could pass it around to some of the other developers you are in contact with I know of about 30 people personally that would love to have that on there i747 not counting the people ive seen on here asking for a rom from the s5 but no big deal THANKS AGAIN
I was watching this thread because I had the exact same question. I tried installing the "StockMOD Custom ROM 4.3 RLS2.1" and my S3 wouldn't even boot past the Samsung screen. I left it there for 15 minutes and nothing. I tried wiping dalvik/cache from recovery and then it wouldn't even get that far. From that point on when I tried to reinstall the ROM it would go by and then when it got to the rebooting stage it would tell me "No OS installed. Are you sure you want to reboot?", or something of that nature. I then installed the Deodex Debloat Version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998 and it installed/booted on the first try. Only problem is that Wi-Fi does not work & not sure of what my next step should be to get Wi-Fi working. I came from 4.4.2 OTA. Should I install the 4.3 modem or try flashing the StockMOD Rom again? I'm confused because it was stated that it didn't need to be installed.
Edit: I installed the StockMOD ROM directly over top without wiping anything and it worked. If I just want the "Deodex Debloat" version should I wipe, reinstall that ROM, then install the 4.3 modem since it didn't work before?
Edit: Second time flashing the Deodex Debloat ROM & Wi-Fi is working but now I have no data/4G. Help! LoL.

if you flashed it without wiping cache n dalvik- dirty flash then it should have worked unless u came from another 4.4.2 rom mine is working fine
correct me if im wrong
If ypu updated to 4.4.2, and then flashed a 4.3 rom, you have to use either the MJ2 or kt747 kernel or wifi wont work.

I would get either no wifi or no data depending on which modem was used after flashing the rom.
01 - Via TWRP (2.7.1.0) dirty flash d2att_4.3_MJB_Debloat_Deodex_v1.2.zip
02 - Reboot without wiping cache/dalvik = freeze at AT&T logo
03 - Wipe cache/dalvik = freeze at AT&T logo
04 - Factory Reset = success with the exception of no wifi
05 - Flash MJB modem = Wifi now enabled but no data. (baseband unknown/imei null)
06 - Flash NE4 modem = data/baseband/imei restored, but no wifi again
07 - Flash UCUEMJ2_Insecure_kernel.zip + wipe cache/dalvik & reboot = somplete succcess (wifi+data all working)
At least for my experience Doc is 100% correct. Not sure how you were able to flash the StockMOD ROM without having to flash a kernel. Especially when "How to flash" on the StockMOD page says "5. Flash Kernel (For WiFi)". Not saying you are lying, just that I don't understand why you didn't need to.

As for why, starting in 4.3 (MJB) samsung moved the modules required for wifi to work. They are now included in a different partition. Custom kernels (or rather any kernel but the original stock) look for the modules (drivers) to be in /system/lib/modules (the location on earlier builds). Since they are not there, the system doesnt know how to use the wifi radio resulting in no working wifi.
We got lucky with the MJ2 kernel. It was the first 4.3 leak, and just by chance I tried it on a different leak (for the T999) while trying to figure out the wifi issue and it worked! They simply had not made the change in that test build. Pure luck! The kt747 kernel works because it was built from source and modified to use its own modules which are included in the kernel package.
It has been a good while, so as for where the modules are located now im not suren. But if you browse to /system/lib/modules and find wlan.ko, youll see it is symlinked to /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko. Youll also notice there is no prima folder or file. In older builds, the wlan.ko file was actually there.
Hope that made sense and hope I got most of it correct. (Going from memory)

But if you browse to /system/lib/modules and find wlan.ko, youll see it is symlinked to /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko. Youll also notice there is no prima folder or file. In older builds, the wlan.ko file was actually there.
Hope that made sense and hope I got most of it correct. (Going from memory)

whatever kernel that was built into the rom is what im on I listed it in my reply before, I haven't flashed anything else ONLY THE ROM, mine booted right up n works great,
The more I think about it, it makes sense to me in both situations.
Id expect it to work on 4 4.2 because the wifi drivers are still in the same location, so as long as youre on 4.3 or above, it should work, as it apoears to do for you. But there are ithers who it did not work for and they have to use one of those other kernels. So it could be newer drivers not being compatible. Either way, if wifi is not working, I do know the kernel change will fix it.

well I have a twrp backup of it on my phone if you have some way of opening it, maybe somehow I could send it to you n whatever you find may be a tremendous help to you in how to fix the wifi n not having to flash the other kernels
I dont think there would be anything in a nandroid backup that would help. But tbh, right now I have no intention of digging into it any further. First because we already do have a pretty simple solution, and second because im already swamped with other projects and problems I've promised others I would work on.
For the past 3 days i've gone through hell and back with this phone.
To start off I rooted the phone, and that was working fine, my buddy was downloading something (idek what it is and I have no way to get ahold of him to ask him) and after that it busted. Then I somehow deleted my whole operating system.
Since then I have downloaded a 4.3 stock rom (os?) and I have successfully unbricked my phone. Now I have no service, and i'm 99% sure it's because all of my IMEI things are unknown. Now I figure that is an easy fix by downloading a modem?
Before I look into fixing my IMEI problems I would like to get back to 4.4.2 (Kit-Kat I think it was?)
I've downloaded countless ROMs, IMG files (converted to tar.md5), and many versions of Odin.
I've messed with Samsung Kies but I can just tell that this is a garbage program, and I have no clue what i'm doing.
What i'm asking here is help to getting me back to stock 4.4.2 (WITHOUT A ROOT) and possibly fix my IMEI problem and the problem I can't get 3g/mobile data working (snapchat/instagram did not work) (APN maybe?) (I haven't looked into these problems yet, could be super hard, could be fairly easy)
Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-i747 is the phone i'm currently working with.
The last thing I tried to do is flash with a boot.tar.md5 and system.tar.md5, it did NOT work, as I was not sure where to put those files at in odin. Boot = Bootloader and System = AP/PDA?
Sorry if I come off as a complete noob, this is literally last resort for me (I've been doing this for 3 days....) as I can probably suspect you guys are very tired of all of these help requests.
Thank you to everybody who reads this, and am looking forward to having a normal phone again.
Edit: First post here
Does the phone boot into download mode? Sounds like it does since you can use Odin.
To get the phone running, copy the latest cm11 or cm 12 to an sd card, copy cm11 Gapps or cm12 Gapps (download the version that matches the ROM you intend to flash), flash a custom recovery (I prefer CWM for the d2lte or Philz Touch for the d2lte), boot into recovery, do a full wipe, flash cm, flash Gapps, boot the phone.

sick thanks for the response homie.
i'm not exactly sure which CM to download, I went to the d2ltes since that's the closest thing to my device I found in that list.
I also went to cwm rom managers and downloaded the recovery setup, i'm guessing I convert that and flash it using odin and voila, I have cwm?
and for the cm11 gapps I went to this website and downloaded the zip file, going to just put that on my sd card with the CM (when I figure out which one to download)
am I headed in the right direction?
edit: okay I got cwm recovery on my phone... thats good
edit 2: alright downloading cm12 and alreayd have cmgapps in a zip ready to be put in my sd card. i'll let you know how installing it with cwm goes. thank you for your help man I really appreciate it.
edit 3: how would I go about installing it via owm? everytime I install from sd card it resets my phone, just go back into recovery and install the second zip? or is there a way I can install both at once?
Boot into cwm, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe dalvik, install cm1 from sd card, install gapps, reboot.
The i747 is also known as the d2lte so anything designed for the d2lte is good.

alright! couldn't thank you enough. like I said i'll keep you updated!
edit: i'm in the cwm recovery or w.e and there is a different keyboard as i'm doing this, does this transfer over to be my real keyboard after the cwm recovery stuff? if not, how do I get this keyboard?
edit 2: wow this is totally different, sick.. let me play around with it, i'm sure i'll have some questions.
alright, phone number is still not available, imei and imei sv is still not available, same with everything in the SIM status.
going to try and find a modem for my model.
no luck so far, if someone could help search for a MODEM for SGH-i747 AT&T s3 that would be great..
sorry for being so needy.. thanks for hanging in here and helping me out.
edit: I found this link but it's for 4.4.2... it says do not use it if you're on 4.3.... is it okay if i'm at like 5.1.1 cwm?
well, I cannot post the link and I do not want to find a way around to post the link incase a mod shuts this thread down. if you want the link you may PM me..
edit 2: okay so google play services does NOT work, and I need that in order to open skype.. so that's on another thing on the list of **** to fix. However I just downloaded an apk and I need to put it in system/apps but i'm not sure where to find that... i'll probably end up downloading it on the phone and dropping it in with a file manager.
edit 3: none of this worked, I still need google play services to get installed..
Does the phone boot to the desktop? Which rom did his try? Try the latest cm10.2 for the d2lte.
Are you able to install a terminal app or Samsung phone info app?
Try and find the apk version of the app and just install it from the file browser.

It tells me "It cannot be installed". I will find 10.2 for d2lte... assuming I find the corresponding GApps.
I also could have ran all of the other google apps... "google +, playstore, youtube, etc"
edit: I cannot find cm 10.2, lowest I can find for d2lte is 11. should I try that instead?
These are all the zips i'm installing with cwm when I wipe/reset my phone totally:
Calkulin's Google Play Service modded (so google play services works)
cm-11
gapps-kk-20140606
and I am currently messing with modem files to get my service back, i'm about to try my second one.. wish me luck!
edit: I can't get my baseband model to show, nor my imei numbers to come, they all stay unknown.. if someone would like to do some sort of 1 on 1 that would be awesome.
You could also try the cm for the d2att.

trying it now! should I use a specific gapps? maybe for 5.1.1? cause 12.1 uses 5.1.1 if i'm not mistaken.
There are separate gapps for cm10.2, cm11, and cm12.
It sounds to me like there is a problem with the modem and bootloader combination on the phone.
What specific bootloader version is on the phone?

so after I download cm12.1 and cm12gapps, I should look further into the bootloader/modem problem?
i've tried a few modems for i747 and i've had no luck so far unfortunately, if someone else reading this has had experience or knows someone who has experiences null baseband / imei numbers let me know!
edit: oops, my mistake.. just saw the last part of your post now. i'm not sure how to find out my bootloader.
Use the terminal app and type getprop ro.bootloader.

Alright I've now figured out that I do NOT have ANY efs files for samsung galaxy I747UCUFNJ1.
I have the imei number from the back of my phone.
I tried the EFS pro method and when I click "backup" an error pops up and says "Block device does NOT exist"
I'm so confused and I need help lol
wow, I fixed it! I installed the correct modem corresponding to my baseband / bootloader something like that.. wow. most stressful 4 days of my life
ty so much
Glad you got it working. This is why I kept asking about the modem and suggesting that the modem doesn't match the bootloader.
So i have my I8160 and i have 4 different recoveries. CWM 4.0.5.6 and 4.0.2.8 and also TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 3.0.2.0. Yeah i know it is strange but just let me explain you. I rooted my device and then installed CWM 4.0.2.8. Then I flashed ChronoKernel and restarted the device. It rebooted into CWM 4.0.5.6 and i wipe everything and tried to install CM13 + ggaps. Unfourtunately the installation of ggaps ended with code 70. I booted the phone and it showed off only 1GB of storage! I quickly restarted the device to flash the ROM once more and suprisingly it booted into TWRP 3.0.2.0. I tried to install CM13 and CM12.1. CM12.1 just stucks at Optimizing apps 48/88 and CM13 does not detect smth like internal storage... I think CM11 is a bit too old for me so i want a bit more fresh OS. Do you have any suggestions how can i fix this memory problem?
First of all, you don't have 4 different recoveries. It's just that each ROM /kernel installation also installs their own recovery.
Anyway, I think you should start fresh. Flash 3 parted JB, then follow the appropriate steps given by the developers

So i should just download the firmware and flash it using odin right?
And i just want to add that mobile network connection is not working, on stock it was
Try using this: http://d-h.st/AZN
To solve mobile network connection issue, make sure that before you flash a custom ROM that you are already on JB stock ROM
So i flashed JB and i can not set up my phone because Google processes crash all the time. But i dont see Mobile network connection.

Did you go with the 3 parted firmware?
Then, flash JB?
I had Cm12.1 then i flashed one-parted firmware from SamMobile. I did a factory reset after that and i am working on it now.
Now i am going to flash yours firmware
Your firmware already flashed. Mobile network still not working
