[Q] Question about DMF2 Rom

Some questions here...
I have just rooted my stock DMF2 rom and got efs backup. Then i flashed the latest perseus kernel.
I wanna flash the latest omega rom but i read somewhere that if i flash a non DMF2/ME6 based rom, i will get a imei error.
Is there anyway i can flash omega rom without getting an imei error?
Thanks for helping and sorry for my english.

well try it yourself since you have a backup.
Make sure that also have a backup of your Modem and Build, (found in settings under Baseband (modem) and Build Number).
because your EFS backup would work 100% if both of these were the same when you're restoring.
If things didn't go on well, then you can reflash the ROM.
in case the backup wouldn't work (works once then no signal on next restart), then what you have to do is as follows:
1-Flash the ROM that has the same build number as the one you had when you backed up your EFS
2-Restore your EFS and restart
3-Restart again, if there's no signal, then restore your EFS again and restart once.
4-Downgrade your Baseband to any version (I prefer DME4).
5-Perform an OTA update (OTA works if you had status normal and an IMEI and phone signal, so you need your EFS to be restored and the signal working, for the status normal you need 0 flash counts and Full Wipe of data through VolUp+Home+Power).
6-If you have ROOT, then don't touch Install or Install all! click on later.
7-Get Odin Mobile Pro (you need the Pro Version). and run it.
8-Click on "OTA/ update.zip". point it to "/Cache/Fota(might find random numbers here)/update.zip". In case you can't find the file, just use Root Explorer, and copy the update.zip to anywhere on the SdCard0 or extSdCard, and Point Odin to it.
9-Check the EveRoot Option and Odin Pro.
10-Flash the ROM.
now you'll have the same build number, but your baseband is now updated correctly. Just restore the EFS one more time and restart and it should work.
Note: If you may tell me your current baseband and buildnumber, I could save you time by giving you my files if I have the same as you.

[Q] How to install Custom ROM safely without corrupting the IMEI ?

Hi guys!
A few days ago I bought the notes 2. He installed the rom DME6 with the modem DMF1.
I would like to know how to install a custom ROM safely without corrupting the IMEI!
Thanks!

You can safely use this tool to backup/restore your EFS (which contains your IMEI) before flashing anything. You should have a rooted phone if doing so.
You can also use this APK form the Play Store to backup your EFS partition.
After backing up your EFS, you can proceed with the custom ROM installation as usual. If you get your EFS corrupted, you can easily restore it now.
To find out more about rooting, EFS and flashing, read this.
I hope this helps!

my imei and baseband gone.

Hi.
I have flashed my ROM to Ml4 4.3 and flashed Phliz recovery and after my ROM did not work with some apps I decided to flash to custom ROM though recovery. Unfortunately after installing ROM my Imei and my baseband turned to unknown. I don't have any backup of efs folder too. I flashed all the ROMs and modems but no use. What should I do?

custom rom 4.1.2

I had the same issue when I first got my Note 2, and resolved it using EFS Professional:

Replacement Verizon phone not restoring nandroid backup

Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
I just got a replacement phone from Verizon with 46A and these are the steps i followed to try and restore a stock rooted lollipop rom from my old phone.
-flashed to 10B by TOT method
-rooted with Stump
-downloaded TWRP from play store
-flashed and got to TWRP recovery successfully
-created a new backup with just the boot.img
-placed the old nandroid backup in that folder
-wiped cache and dalvik/art
-flashed XDABBEB's VS985 24B bootstack
-restored my nandroid backup
...and then i kept getting a "secure boot error" at startup. Boot verification error. I could only get onto TWRP and download mode. I don't know what i did wrong. I looked through this forum for solutions but couldn't find any. So long story short, i ended up flashing back to 10B via TOT method. Any solutions to restore my old backup?
also another strange thing was when i moved my old backup to the new folder, it wouldn't show the checkboxes for boot, data, system etc to restore. i had to place the old backup in the same folder with the boot.img and i had to copy and replace it with the old backup for it to show when trying to restore it.

That used to happen to me when the boot image wasn't bumped. Can you try flashing the sharpening mod so boot can be bumped, and see if it solves your problem?

No LTE after clean OOS 3.2.7 Install

Hi guys!
I'm sorry if it's been asked before.
I did clean install from CB 3.5.3 to 3.2.7 and flashed official twrp everything works except LTE which is not turning on.
I flashed 3.2.6 but same problem.
I did LTE only by using USSD code but it doesn't work also, now I'm stuck to 3g only can anyone help me in this regard?

Which TWRP are you using? There's a modified version to deal with this problem-not completely flashing ROMs. My suggestion is to dirty flash just the modem and firmware for 3.2.7 separately. If that doesn't work, you will have to clean install (wipe dalvik/art/system/cache) then flash the 3.2.7 firmware/modem, re-wipe, then re-flash 3.2.7.

Flash modified twrp 3.0.2-19 and then flash 3.2.7 Firmware + Modem. Wipe. Then flash the ROM.

VoLTE work around on stock / CB
Clean Flash Stock / CB rom using twrp .
You first have to extract 4 files contained in the zip file attached .
Now make a efs backup from twrp
Now go in twrp>backups>device serial number folder>the most recent backup you made folder
And paste the 4 files and replace them with your efs files Then restore EFS back up only using twrp.
That worked for my friend on 3.2.6 stock who completely lost VoLTE , tried every thing found this solution by hit and trail hope it works for you as well.

Anyone tried this method?

Make sure you have chosen "Preferred SIM for data" as your LTE SIM and not your other sim. Otherwise LTE won't come on.
