i have a bell galaxy note 2, after i flashed some custom ROM, my phone stop working, i have found similar problem on the sprint form, but doesn't know how to fix, please help.
Problem #1:
After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:
Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.
Problem #2:
When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).
i try odin a bell stock still doesn't work, and when i boot into recovery it keep saying is a RWC rogers phone, does that have something to do with the problem? i also try kies too, still no luck.

This has nothing to do with development.
However unless you have a backup. You'll need to return your phone for a new one.

sorry i posted wrong place, where can i get help, i am new to this, and how do i delete this post
Make sure you odin a rom that included the radio and kernel. Preferably a return to stock type thing. If that didn't work did you back up your efs partition?
Also what did you flash exactly?
OP please read the Forum Rules on posting in the correct Section, Moved & Thank You
I had same situation as you few days ago, I messed up my Rogers note ii with flashed 7100 rom to my i317m. I lost baseband, network imei. Luckily, after I flashed root injected FACTORY Stock rom to my rogers phone, the problem had been fixed, here is the link where you can download the root injected FACTORY Stock rom for you phone. Hopefully, you will get your phone fixed

i flashed a rogers rooted stock version rom on my phone, so now after i did recovery it just keep on shows is a RWC in the recovery mode doesn't matter which stock rom i flash, and its saying a BMC in the download more product name. so its really messed up. because i unlocked the phone from bell, so the guy at bell told me i void the warranty on it. now i don't know what i can do to fix my phone.
Pit CSC file
any idea where i can find a pit file for my bell note 2 so i can repartion it, or that's something only samsung has it
This was a big issue with the gs3 and they've come up with a solution in that thread so given the similarities I would think that would work with some tweaking for the different partitions on the note 2. Check out the gs3 forum & maybe get in touch.. they might be able to help.

I bought I9082 from China Unicom (which I believe is firmware locked).
I tried to upgrade the firmware manually through ODIN.
But in ODIN it stops at setup connection
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Then I rooted with CWM and loaded Custom ROM.
Later I upgraded a custom rom - XXAMD6 on baseband ZNMAMB3.
But the problem now is Radio is switched off. So the mobile is not active.
When I try to make a call it says Flight mode is activated. But really flight mode is switched off.
I am able to receive calls and messages
Do you have any solution for this.
Does this mean the firmware is locked?
Any possibility that I can revert back to original stock ROM I9082ZNAMB3
I have this stock ROM downloaded but could not load this through ODIN (seems there is some lock since it stops at setup connection in ODIN).
Any possibility that this stock ROM can loaded through CWM?
My phone is kind of half-bricked since I couldn't make any call also not able to upgrade.
Please give me solution.

you may experience "no service " after rom installation here is what u do to get it back...
its a modem compatibility issue in between different firmwares
download the file from http://www.mediafire.com/?avjo48kvgz517z5 or http://d-h.st/7O8 NEW MODEM LINK
put ur mobile in download mode VOLUME DOWN + MENU + POWER then VOLUME UP to continue
connect to pc
(ur kies should not be runing... proper drivers should be installed)
start odin3 v3.04 . u should see the blue comxx as phone is connected
autoreboot and reset time should be selected.
click in PDA . select the modem.amc8.tar
click start...wait....u get pass confirmation..phone may boot into recovery just reboot.
JUST leave the feedback on this... it worked for me....so it may work for all of u.
Hi, I could not download any file through Odin. I tried pushing the modem file already. Do you think there is any firmware lock?
During setup connection it stays for long time and then it says failed.
Any modem MOD file to push through ClockworkMod I can try.

Any solution to unlock this carrier locked phone without buying the unlock tools?
mr_coimbatore, I'm having exactly the same problem with a China Unicom I9082 here in Shanghai. Sadly I still haven't been able to find a solution, after weeks of searching.
It's actually a friend's phone, he bought it because he wanted a dual SIM Android handset, though foolishly bought it straight from Unicom rather than from an electronics market. I told him I'd get rid of the China Unicom firmware for him as it is obviously crippled by design like all Chinese Android stock ROMs. I've managed to install k2wl's Ultralite ROM on the handset but I'm facing the same issue as you - the baseband remains untouched from the one that was on the original ROM (I9082ZNAMB3), but it's stuck in flight mode. Can receive calls/texts, cannot make them.
The big clue that there is some kind of lock in place is the fact that one of the original Chinese logos still appears on boot. Flashing a custom ROM should remove all the stock boot logos.
I get exactly the same error when trying to update the baseband with Odin (I tried several basebands and all had exactly the same error as the one you quoted in your first post), so it seems that what we have here is a baseband lock combined with an incompatibility between the existing baseband and the custom ROM (or, more likely, any ROM that isn't the stock ROM provided by China Unicom). If we can remove the baseband lock and update the baseband to one that is compatible with the custom ROM, we should be in business. Sadly, that's as far as I've got.
The annoying thing is that the SIM cards being used on the phone are both China Unicom, so it's not as if I even need the phone to be factory unlocked for use on any network - I simply need it to be able to make outgoing calls/texts on Unicom!
I have seen sites offering an unlock service by IMEI, for example unlocksamsungonline.com, who claim to provide both NCK (network unlock codes) and SPCK (service provider unlock codes), which seem to be what we need in order to unlock the phone without expensive equipment.
However, I have no idea how genuine/reliable these kinds of sites are or if they even work at all (or if they're even legitimate at all), and I'd rather not spend $18.95 USD on an unlock code that doesn't end up working. Also, given that it's a dual SIM phone it's going to have 2 IMEI numbers, so I'm not sure if I'd have to pay double to unlock it or if just one would do the trick!
I've not yet had the time to take the phone to an electronics market in the hope that somebody there understands the issue and has the equipment to remove the baseband lock. In almost all of my previous experiences with electronic markets here in Shanghai, I've found that their hardware knowledge is fantastic (not surprising given that the phones are made in China), but their software knowledge is generally quite poor. I actually spent almost an hour one day explaining to an iPhone engineer that he could in fact upgrade an iPhone's software while preserving an (unlockable) baseband, simply by making a custom ISPW with Pwnagetool or similar that would flash the new firmware without flashing the baseband. He and several of his coworkers claimed that it was impossible, and when I showed them my iPhone that was running the updated iOS while still on an old baseband, until I managed to explain the entire process he thought I had hacked the phone somehow to display a different baseband version... the whole experience was incredibly frustrating and to be honest has left me thinking that I can probably find out more online whenever I've had any kind of software issues with any devices.
Anyway. If you happen to have some success before I do, please let me know! I'll do the same.

Hi, Yes I found the solution.
Thanks to tonylin880806 who provided me some links.
I am in Shanghai as well. I took my phone to electronics markets in Xujiahui and Zhangyang Road. In both places, every one said they cannot do anything. The reason may be they don't know or do not want to take any risk or bricking the phone.
Also I went to Samsung service center, they said I have void my warranty. I asked them only to restore the original firmware. But he said the only option is to change the CPU and that will cost more money. I asked for alternate options and he said no.
Then, I re-explored the posts asked if Tony has send me an option
At first, you should upgrade ZNAMB3 to ZNAMD1 with Odin. ZNAMD1 is the office OTA upgrade for ZNAMB3 sent by Samsung.
You can use below link for ZNAMD1 : http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=3590848074
to download ZNAMD1 which is official and push this through Odin.
So now you will be back with your original firmware without google account.
After this, you can root the phone with CWM.
Then you can load any compatible custom ROMs. But you should note that our handsets cannot load firmwares of all countries. Might be they are firmware locked or modem not compatible for other region firmwares.
I have loaded below custom ROM which is very similar to original firmware with google account. This is really good.
ZNAMD1_rc2 - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=517042&uk=2030731697
Also, in this your memory card is swapped with internal memory and have chrome browser. USB OTG is missing.
Only problem I face is, when I install google talk apk there is some problem. Whenever I get an incoming notification from google talk, it hangs and it says process.google.com stopped. So I have installed hangout and its ok with hangout now.
Hope this helps you.........

Yeah, the link you posted has the '...' in it, which ruins the URL. It's the not the complete URL. Do you have the full URL to download it on Baidu? It will be much faster than downloading it from another site, as you know from living in China and having to deal with Chinese internet connections
I just want to make sure I'm downloading the correct version. Is this the right one?

Thanks for the link. It works perfectly.
XXAMF7 got loaded on the baseband version of ZNAM2.
I have the same problem like yours. As soon as it was loaded it said there is a software update, but when say OK to update the software it keeps searching. Have you got any solution for this?
Also, did you try if you upload the stock ROM of XXAMF7 on the unicom Duos? Whether the radio works?

DISCLAIMER:- I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK / RUIN YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY OR YOUR PHONE BRICKS YOU OR YOU LOSE YOUR JOB FOR YOUR PHONE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T BOOT OR WHATEVER.
BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIRED
Brother I can help you out. I am listing the steps so do accordingly. Your phone is booting that means it can be recovered no matter what.
1. Install ODIN 3.04
2.GO TO www.sammobile.com, register yourself on the website, select your phone and download the latest firmware for note-2.
3. You should download the firmware by selecting the name of the country from where you bought your phone. EXAMPLE- if you bought it from INDIA then select country as INDIA.
4.Open ODIN and run it as administrator.
5.UNRAR the firmware so that it has got a .tar.md5 extension.

@Larner had the same issue and i assisted him to recover
Return to stock rom
what I guided first unroot the device completely
Now go to stock recovery and perform a hard reset that should fix the problem if this does not happen nothing can be done.

BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIRED
Brother I can help you out. I am listing the steps so do accordingly. Your phone is booting that means it can be recovered no matter what.
1. Install ODIN 3.04
2.GO TO www.sammobile.com, register yourself on the website, select your phone and download the latest firmware for note-2.
3. You should download the firmware by selecting the name of the country from where you bought your phone. EXAMPLE- if you bought it from INDIA then select country as INDIA.
4.Open ODIN and run it as administrator.
5.UNRAR the firmware so that it has got a .tar.md5 extension.
6.Select PDA tab in ODIN and navigate to the .tar.md5 firmware and select it.
7.Put your note 2 in download mode by pressing VOL DN+POWER+HOME BUTTON SIMULTANEOUSLY.
8.Press the VOL UP button after it enters download mode.
9.Connect it to PC via USB.
10.DISABLE the Auto Reboot option in ODIN

Hi Tonylee,
i have flash MJ5 bootloader before but its failed
is Blpatch the same like MJ5?? how do i know which bootloader i have now??
is this a stock rom N7100XXDMG1_N7100ODDDMG1_INU_Prerooted.rar ??
i will try your advice and hope it will help me to make my phone work again....
Us an app called Phone Info https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo to.see what bootloader you have installed already. Post here what that is. The blpatch is the dmg1 bootloader, you cannot flash the dmg1 rom if mj5 is installed. Yes the dmg1 rom is totally stock. just pre rooted.
If it fails whilst trying to.flash the mj5 then.its likely you have a mk4 or.newer bootloader wbich means you cannot.flash dmg1.
in that case the only thing I coukd.suggest is to.flash the very latest rom specifically for.you carrier

Im willing to bet then that you have MK9 bootloader. This means you cannot flash any stock rom that has a bootloader MJ9 or older. Only MK4 and newer.

Right as id guessed your on mk9 bootloader. Ignore that now. Your knox warranty is 0x1 which is the tripped state.
You cant downgrade the bootloader lower than mk4. You cant flash a stock 412 rom If it is loaded with a bootloader Which I think Is the norm.
you have your imei so you can flash a stock 4.3 rom for your carrier or a custom recovery and custom rom such as ARHD

You could flash a spanish stock rom but id go with twrp recovery and arhd.
You cant downgrade your bootloader your stuck with what youve got now. Dont fret, im also stuck on mk9 since I flashed an mk9 rom for a developer to test something. If.you want to use 412 specifically there are custom 412 roms but you might as well.go.with 4.3 now

You cant downgrade you bootloader. You cant.flash these roms because they contain a bootloader that is older than mk4 which means it will fail.
the only.option you have for.flashing stock.is.to.flash a 4.3 one.
if you want older android on your phone you will have to go.down the custom.route
the only stock.roms that will flash ok are 4.3 roms or roms that dont contain a bootloader update (most of.them.do.do)
