Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100 Or SPH-L900) Uncertain? PLease help me - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all and a great big up to the developers of XDA. Thank you very much for your time and helps you give, really thank you.
Tonight, I just ask you the problem I encounter with my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II but quite frankly I do not know if it's a GT-N7100 or SPH-L900.
When I go into Settings "About device"; here is the info I have:
1) Software Version: L900VPUCHO3; Hardware Version: L900.09; Android Version: 4.4.2; Model Number: SPH-L900; Baseband Version: L900VPUCHO3; Kernel Version: 3.0.31-3084104 dpi @ SWHD8903 # 1 Mon Aug 24 5:13:18 p.m. KST 2015; Build Number: KOT49H.L900VPUCHO3
If we stick to these information, the phone is really Galaxy Note II SPH-L900
However, when I use my IMEI number on the site imei.info this is what I like information:
2) Model: N7100 Galaxy Note II
Brand: SAMSUNG
IMEI: TAC: 990002 FCC: 11 SNR: 936743 CD: 9
http://www.imei.info/?imei=990002119367439
So please, tell you what's wrong with this phone and if possible how to go about solving the problem, thank you!

When i boot my phone in download/odin mode, it show this Model: SPH-L900
But please i wanna know why my IMEI number tel that about my phone is GT-N7100

The imei # could have been re-programmed.

But please, it's possible to flash GT-N7100 stock rom on SPH-L900 sprint?

I'm not familiar with the SPH-L900. If the bootlaoder is unlocked, you may be able to flash TWRP and a custom ROM based on a stock n7100 ROM.
If you want to use Odin, you won't be able to flash the n7100 ROM to the L900 because Odin will prevent flashing an n7100 ROM to a phone with an L900 bootloader.
Where did you get the phone?

I purchased the phone with a friend who brought used usa.
However, how do you think it is possible to flash GT-N7100 sstock rom on SPH-L900?
Also before I forget, even with the official rom my phone I can not activate mobile data because it does not exist in phone so I have to connect on the wifi only.

You may not be able to connect to your cell company because the phone may not support the required frequencies.
Also, the phone is a CDMA phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_ii_cdma-5152.php
I don't know of any way to flash a stock N7100 rom onto a L900.

Did you compare your cell company's frequencies to the phone?
Did you try to manually add your company's APN settings to the phone for data? Can you make phone calls?

Yes I can make calls even send messages. By cons, you can not manually add APN data from my operator as this part does not exist in the official rom my phone. My when I installed the custom rom Cyanogenmod 12.0 Nightly, I could put my APN data operator and Internet access via mobile data because this option exists in the CyanogenMod ROM.

Did you try to flash a stock L900 ROM to the phone, root, and add APN?

Yes and now that's what is the official rom SPH-L900 that is installed on my phone and I even rooter but still can not add the APN data from my operator as always nonexistent option in Roma .
In addition, there are only three languages (English, Chinese and Spanish) ...

Yes, the Sprint phones lave limited languages. Have you tried morelocale app to add languages?
The APN may be locked because the phone was made for use on Sprint.
What about flashing TWRP and a custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/development

Don't be bummed. The phone is a good phone and may be perfectly suitable after installing a custom ROM.
One CM, were you able to connect to the data network?

Yes, under CyanogenMod 12.0 (Android 5.0.2) I was able to connect with mobile data.
But with Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Android 5.1.) And received my calls emitted out unknown

Maybe try a ROM that is based on the stock Sprint ROM.

If the current ROM is rooted, this might help, although it is a paid version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation&hl=en
There may be free apn managers available on the Play store.
This ROM may also work: Maybe this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...m-stock-oh3-rooted-deknoxed-deodexed-t3221123

[Q] Galaxy S3 Unknown ROM

Hi everyone, new android user here! I'll try to make this as brief as possible:
Recently purchased a used Unlocked Galaxy S3.
Currently using Bell Carrier on it and it works fine.
I noticed that even after restoring SuperSU was installed.
Checked download mode -> odin installed with custom binary
Checked to see if the phone has root access -> it does not
I wanted to try and flash it with a official ROM to completely restore factory settings but I don't know what the original carrier is so I don't know what ROM to download. I called a couple carriers but they have no record of the IMEI.
I'm fairly new to android and my past two days of google searching hasn't accomplished anything relative to my problem (although I know a lot more about the rooting community!) so I thought I'd ask here.
Is there any way to know what's going on here?
Can I restore the phone to factory firmware/ROM/etc.?
Here is some phone information:
Model: SGH-I747M
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband: I747MVLDLK4
Kernel: 3.0.31-538866
Build Number: JRO03L.I747MVLDLK4
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just go and download this program http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Go to Tools > Firmware Install and Initialization
It will ask you for your model number and Serial number. It will use those to determine what stock ROM is correct for your phone.
It will then flash you to stock, just as Odin would, including the stock recovery.

It definitely looks like you are on the stock Jelly Bean firmware from Samsung. I747M is the Canadian model (747 is ATT). Your build number also looks to be the stock 4.1.1 based on the DLK4 build number! Just as the last guy said, grab kies or use Odin to go back to complete stock if you are not happy with what you have now. If your phone is showing custom binary flashes and you want to get rid of that, give Triangle Away a try! Good luck. :good:

Thank you! That worked like a charm! The device is now in a "normal" state and the binaries are "official".

Thanks for the advice! I'm not too concerned about the flash count, that's only really important your warranty to to be valid, right? But I'll look into it, it may be worth it anyway.

Mobile Network Not Availible

Hey Guys
I was using a rooted Note II having 4.1.2 then i decided to run a custom rom which was having Android 4.4.4 and it worked perfectly then i decided to change to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (4.4.2) offical firmware and installed that using the sammobile uk version and using odin.
When it was installed i couldnt call nor i could send any messages but the mobile is detecting the Sim Card but having no signals on it, It is detecting the numbers of the sim and also the 3g Internet is working.
I saw on many threads people were complaining regarding no IMEI but my IMEI i think is the correct one, I have attached the screens of the status below.
Thanks

You've probably flashed incorrect rom.
But since you haven't bothered leaving relevant info like what model your phone is and specifically which rom file you flashed nobody can be sure.

I downloaded the original one from the sammobile sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32635 and installed it via odin and IMEI i think is correct and it didnt show signals so i rooted it but it still didnt work, Then getting pissed off i installed clockworkmod on it that is compatible on my device and then i rooted again with a custom rom but now it wont work on the custom rom too. In other words it down grading it from an upgraded custom rom to the original rom messed up some files and now i cant call nor message anyone

"galaxy note 2" is not model number, Its name of phone. Model numbers for Note 2 are n7100 or n7105 for example. There are also multiple UK roms.

[Q] No cellular data after root, custom rom and recovery?

I received a used s3 which had stock 4.3 , modem/bootloader mjb, and knox. I rooted, removed knox and installed slim 4.4.4 rom, lean 4.4.4 kernel and latest philz. All running ok
including cell calls to/from, mms, apps and wifi data. Same modem/bootloader (MJB), IMEI available However cellular data will not connect and or transmit/receive using att, phone or lte APN.
Any help/thoughts appreciated?
Have you updated the bootloader and modem to kk?

My research suggested that the modem mjb and bootloader mjb did not have to be updated if cell calls and sms were working. Also I have an older S3 with modem mjb and bootloader mg2 and the same rom and kernel
that was working fine.

Can you manually add the APN? Have you tried other KK custom ROMs?

I just added an APN, tested and deleted it. I was holding off changing roms because it seems to me that this might be an ATT cell data network registration problem in which the choice of ROM is
irrelevant.
When you added the APN, were you able to connect to ATT?

Are any APNs present in the phone? With every custom ROM I have installed on a phone (i747m, Atrix HD, Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, LG Optimus G), the APN was always automatically added.

Yes, there were att based apns labeled phone, att, lte, broadband, attactivate and two for smarttalk. I have tried the phone, lte and att apns and they all fail.
This is strange that it can't connect the ATT data network. Is ATT's data network functioning properly in your area? Are you able to try your sim in another phone?

I just tested the ATT data network with another sim and phone. AOK. Unable to easily test with the same sim due to a std/micro sim card mismatch. Will be able to
do that after 6p cdt today.
Weird, I would suggest creating a nandroid backup of your current ROM and try another ROM.
Do you have a link to the ROM you installed?

Will have to hold for now on another rom install due to external issues.
I don't see any assert lines in the ROM's updater-script file. I also noticed that it has been updated since Aug 5.

Not knowledgeable enough to understand assert impact. Also held off on later version due to thread discussion about instability.
The only thing left to do seems to be trying another ROM. If that doesn't solve the issue, it may be a defective sim card or possible hardware issue.

No Serice and I have Null IMEI and blank ServiceMode

To keep things short, I flashed stock Touchwiz 4.4.2 via Odin on my Note 2(Wind mobile) because my mom likes the Samsung gimmicky features but I have a problem. I have no cellphone service. I flashed this T889VVLUDNH2_T889VYVLDNH2_T889VVLUDNH2_HOME.tar. The phone says my IMEI is null and the servicemode is blank. I hope someone can help me.
If it helps, I was running lollipop 5.1.1 roms before I wiped everything to flash touchwiz via odin.

Motherboard changed, but various features not working

My phone was working fine and suddenly one day it got stuck on booting screen, then i have tried everything including flashing Rom, but all in vain, finally i ordered a new motherboard from aliexpress.com, the phone got started but everything is in Chinese language, play store was not there and even it is not working when installed from other sources, even whatsapp not working and i am not able to install without google play store. Earlier version installed in the new chinese motherboard was android 4.1.2 and it was asking for software update , when i have updated its software to 4.3 , baseband version N7100ZCUEB1 AND KERNEL VERSION 3.2.31-2859655, BUILD NUMBER JSS15J.N7100CUEOK1.,due to chinese version i am not able to use whatsapp or playstore.After updating the phone, i am not able to make a call and it shows the error "not registered on network" even the apps installed by me are not working, kindly advice what to do, should i use any other version or anything else.This is a chinese motherboard and i want change its software to indian version, what should i do?
Boot into download mode to confirm the model #. If it is a Note 2 made for the Chinese market, the Play store may not function on the phone.

Hmm, looks like it might be the China version of the Note 2 which has limited features. Search XDA for the Note 2 China version and you'll see that many people have problems with flashing ROMs.
Can you send it back and get the international version of the motherboard?

It may be international version because it is shipped for India, is it possible to flash any other ROM and if yes pls guide me how to do, coz i have never done this before. Thanks in advance
If the phone was the international version, it should say "GT-N7100" in Odin mode. See the picture from post number 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261
There's nothing wrong. You need to write the IMEI to the phone memory. By the way you didn't need to buy the entire motherboard. Only the phone memory (16gb eMMC) was corrupt. Samsung produced faulty emmc in the early S3 and Note 2 models (google and you'll see). Mine had same problem I took it to repair shop and they replaced the emmc and wrote the IMEI. Charged me around $40 in local currency. Just tell them you have corrupt IMEI and they'll do it for very little amount of money. After you do that, flash TWRP custom recovery and take back up of your EFS and Modem folder (the IMEI is located here). Then you can upgrade to 4.4.2 and restore EFS and Modem from TWRP.
I don't think it is corrupt or defective chip since 4.3 successfully installed on the phone.
i have changed the CSC code from CHN to INU, after then when i went to recovery mode it shows INU in place of CHN, but i was not able to flash indian ROM in that via odin 3.09, it shows the message "nand write start : failed" and finally failed.
When tried with ODIN 3.07 it shows the error, serial port is not communicating , while USB debugging is allowed in my phone.In recov ery mode it shows the phone detail GT-N7100_CHN_CHINEXYNOS4412 and downside it shows CSC code INU, could any one suggest which ROM to FLASH and how?
CWM recovery is already flashed in it and it is already rooted.
I tried to flash offical 4.4.2 ROM indian version and failed , could anybody pls suggest anything else.
I know of no way to flash a non-Chinese ROM to this phone. I have seen people try to get a ROM onto a Chinese phone. When they do get the ROM installed, The Play store will not run.
The CSC is simply a carrier customization. The problem is the bootloader which prevent the installation of non-authorized ROMs.

This ROM is not official, it is a custom ROM as seen in recovery mode.
Based on your first post, the phone looks to be running official 4.3 Chinese rom: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/CHN/
All Samsung phones made for mainland China have very tight restrictions on the rom, bootloader, and apps.

i think you misunderstood my post...I said his PREVIOUS emmc was faulty. Now that he bought and entirely new motherboard( which has the emmc) he everything is fine. He just needs to write the IMEI to connect to network (not registered on network error).

Hey if you can't flash other ROMs from odin..
take it to repair shop, they have 3rd party hardware flashing tools, they'll flash the latest 4.4.2 international rom.
I'm not sure if it's possible to flash an international ROM on the phone. Also, the phone may not have the necessary hardware to support the carrier's radio frequencies. If the phone shows the correct imei, not being able to connect to a cell carrier could be a hardware limitation.

before up-gradation of this new chinese rom , network was working fine , so it must be enabled for the frequency range.
The phone may have been running a custom ROM or a hack to allow the phone to work with your carrier? I'm not sure but it does sound like the motherboard is made for mainland China.
