I was flashing stock rooted FW to my AT&T note II. i clicked on 'Nand erase all' in odin while flashing and there was no pit file provided so re partition was unchecked.
ever since that was flashed my phone does not recognise any sim card, IMEI is "null / null" and the baseband is unknown.
all my internal memory shows in the application manager window to be free but in the storage section in settings, i have 0.00B left.
if i access my phone memory through a file explorer i can write on my /storage/sdcard0 partition but system does not recognise it.
i went through many XDA topics involving how to write imei number, how to restore baseband. cant find anything that would help me.
i have tried to install stock rom again, different versions of stock roms. tried to use pit files and stock rom. nothing worked.
i tried flashing the modem again using custom recovery but that did not help either.
is there a way out or i have a note ii with no phone functionality for the rest of its life?

I apologize.
I will keep it in mind next time.
had this happen after a hard brick
pls read entire thing before attempting
this is the method i used to fix
ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER/ OR UNINSTALL ALL PROGRAMS AND DRIVERS!!!!
You will need your Serial # and kies
after installing Kies and drivers goto tolls menu and select Firmware upgrade and Initialization (step one picture)
it will prompt u for your model # SGH-I317 (Step two pic)
after that it will ask for your serial #
then it prompt you to put you phone in download mode and plug it in this may take a few min and i would suggest going to the installing drivers. ie plugging in you phone in every mode so you computer recognizes it
once kies starts downloading to you phone you should be good to go it restart just like you pulled it out of the box
Thanks a lot

worked perfect i thought the phone was gone i had no IMIE no BASEBAND nothing i was able to fix the phone with these easy steps thanks for the post
I would love to try this out. However in my case the phone reboots way too soon for Kies to recognize it. However it does not reboot if I keep in on a MD1 modem, which of course will not recognize as a valid combination to get an update.
Sort of a catch 22.
Thanks
Thanks a lot mate. It worked well for me and my Note 2 is back to life after almost a stressful day with dead Note 2.
Thanks again!!

THANK YOU!!!! This fixed my issue. Late last night I posted about not transferring the rom files to my phone before I cleaned it off. Would only boot to recovery. The only ROM I had access to was will03's CM11 4.4 nightly. The last one I tried blew out my baseband and IMEI so I was hoping it was fixed in the latest.
I was able to get 4.4 onto my phone but it didn't recognize the Sim and the baseband and imei were unknown. The last time this happened, I used a back to stock pack I got off of these forums (Stock > Root > Triangle Away > Unroot) and that worked.
This was much cleaner for me since I was at work and didn't have access to my stuff. The only thing it didn't do was reset the flash counter, which is fine. I can do that myself.
Thanks again!
Baseband was updated for mj5 modem also flashing wrong meaning international versions just a thought

I am also facing same issue on my SGH-I317, where in I lost my IMEI, baseband etc... I flashed 4.3 Custom rom with Note 3 features.
I was able to get every thing else except, my phone stopped recognizing the my Indian SIM (i.e. vodafone provider). I got all note 3 features working like charm (Air Command etc...). I just followed all the steps given by you @cobraa783. Still it's not able to restore my baseband, IMEI etc...
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
Use Kies to emergency recover back to stock 4.1.1.
Steps. (READ ALL BEFORE STARTING)
1.) Downloads Kies onto your pc
2.) Install drivers to pic
3.) Open Kies and go to TOOLS > instal/upgrade firmware.
4.) Kies will ask you for you device model. AT&T = SHE I317. And your serial number. Located behind the battery.
5.) Hit start in Kies it will down load the stock firmware to your PC. Follow the instructions.
6.) It will eventually ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it to the pc. Do this.
7.) Don't touch it. It is going to take about 10-20 min depending on your Internet speed and your computer.
When it is complete your phone will be back to stock. The same it was the day you pulled it out of the box.
***I would also make sure you back up any data on your phone because it will delete the sd card. It is also wise to remove any external storage sd.
****when finished you can re root using cf auto root or take the OTA update to get you back to 4.3.

Greetings, just want to help a little. Like many here I had the same problem ... Note 2 brick for 2 days. Continue with the suggestions of the forum where Samsung Kies is used to return to the factory and have been Emei etc .... My did not work me. However, manages to find the PIT to Note 2 (I317 & i317m) Which use Odin3 v3.09 with a factory Firmware (I317UCAMA4), and the corresponding Pit instead. I pretty much gave up .... but it worked great. Now my I317 ATT works great again. I hope to help them, as I help my! Luck! Well Please ... Thus if you want to try go to link at bottom. It really works and I understand it is a faster way ... thanks to the good work of many on this site!

Brand new note 4, went to odin CF.... everything started well, then the dog ran into the usb cable and ripped it out the pc.
Right now all the phone says is-
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I can get to download mode..nothing else.
tried to odin twrp... tried the full tar from stock roms...nothing takes... i could not find kies anywhere..found references they did away with it?
Any ideas? thanks
Open kies and Look in Kies menus.There must be an emergency recovery mode.Give it a try.
Sorry just realize that you don't have kies. .. but must find it on Samsung official software support.

I found kies , now it wants model and serial number for the recovery... I looked under the battery, all inside the case and on the phone box... tried every number twice, none are the dang serial number! Even used a magnifying glass and typed in numbers all over the inside the darn thing..
best i found online is its in the menu on the phone(can't get in at all)
- sprints web site is down, guess I wait and see if I can find the ## in my account somewhere

I have the remedy. Work for me. Down load Philz Touch.
Pull the battery. Re insert. Set phone to download. May have
to pull battery a few times and reinsert. Phone went into shock.
PDA. Hit start on old Odin 3.09. Untick flash. Enjoy cup coffee.

Uninstall all Kies and old Samsung Drivers. Reboot PC.
Go to www.samsung.com, under Owners & Support, select manuals & downloads, then in the search box after "Start by Entering Your Product's Model Number or Name"
Type in SM-N910P and select the color of the device you have, click manuals & downloads, the latest Samsung Driver as of this post should be 1.5.45.0. Or download the one you see.
Install the Samsung Driver.
Next download Odin v3.09, Grab it from >>> HERE <<<
Unzip onto an easily located spot. ( Desktop or on a Solid State Drive )
Kudos to rwilco12 for mirror.
NOTE: If you have this .tar SKIP THIS SENTENCE!
Download the Stock N910PVPU1ANK2 .tar files from >>> HERE <<<
and move it into the Odin folder
Kudos to viperboy for post and mirror.
Open Odin as an administrator ( accept UAC verification ) and don't touch anything within Odin as of yet.
Onward to your device, put it in download mode ( VOL DN+HOME+POWER, Press VOL UP on the dialogue to continue ) and plug in the device ( Recommended using rear USB Port @ 2.0 and default device cable ).
Let your PC finish the device installation ( A COM:## within a baby blue box will pop up at the top of Odin, wait for PC to finish installing device and after Odin Dialogue to say ADDED ).
Select AP and load in the .TAR file.
Double check what you've done thus far to make sure you didn't do anything wrong.
- Samsung 1.5.45.0 drivers installed
- Odin v3.09
- Stock NK2 .TAR file
- AP slot loaded with NK2 .TAR
Once you have everything setup, select START. If it starts with errors, try other Samsung device cables, other USB 2.0 ports ( 3.0 can be do-able, but with it being "2.0 compatible" can cause issues )
If it starts fine then it'll take 20 or more so minutes tops so do something in the time being. But if it can't be done via Odin, and it can't be done via Kies. Then send it in for repairs ( if download mode doesn't show KNOX WARRANTY VOID, then your in the clear to have it repaired )

Hah, at least you got a new one. Next time let the dog have a go on a chew toy to keep em busy so you won't break things!
Hello....I bricked my I927 when I accidently formatted my efs partition when using EFS professional .....my phone boots in download mode.....but only boots till samsung logo screen.....I tried various things like installing stock GB and ICS through odin and installing custom firmware but phone boots onle till samsung logo and then lights up with sone stange colored thin lines and screen goes off.....In TRWP I get a "unable to mount preload" error whenever I try to install somethiing.....I suspect that the EFS partiton is corrupted and needs to be repartioned....I had backupped the efs folder when my phone was working before.....its in a tar format.....I read somwhere that someone made a recovery.zip out of his backedup EFS.IMG and flashed it with CWM solved his problems which were exactly similar to mine.....can somebody on the forum make a recovery.zip for I927 with update binary and script so that I can add the backedup EFS image to it and flash it with CWM? Please.....this would also help many others who are facing similar issues.....and also what do I do regarding the "unable to mount preload" error? I need to repartition and tried to install hemdall.....but get the common .dll error even after following all the instructions and installing C++ 2010.....
Hi, k one thing after the other.
Do you have repartitioned anything?
Do you have adb in place and does adb works when in TWRP?
The easiest thing would be to connect by adb then mount /efs and then restore the efs backup. The good is that you will have a good chance to recover your device. Maybe you need to reformat /efs but that depends.
Which timezone do you live? Maybe a Teamviewer session would be helpful?
.
Thank you for your reply sir...
THANKS FOR THE REPLY SIR....YES I WAS ABLE TO GO INTO CWM RECOVERY AND CONNECT THE PHONE WITH MINIMAL ADB FASTBOOT.....AND AFTER SPENDING ALMOST 2 DAYS CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM USING GOOGLE, I TRIED DIFFERENT COMMANDS ON ADB TO GET EFS BACK OJ THE PHONE....BUT WITH NO SUCCESS...... MY EFS BACKUP IS IN TAR FORMAT......IT WAS MADE USING GALAXYSIMUNLOCK BY SPOCKY.....I LATER TYPED IN 'ADB MESG'.....OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT COMMAND, AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE PARTITIONS ON mmcblk0 were mangled up with strange letters.....for eg, p1, p2, p3 and so on had strange characters written next to them.....SO I TRIED TO RE-PARTITION THE WHOLE THING WITH SDPARTED......AND IT RE-PARTIONED THE SYSTEM (AROUND 7000MB).....MMCBLK01 (AROUND 500MB).....AND ANOTHER THING I CANT REMEMBER NOW.....BUT WHEN IT FINISHED THE JOB, IT GAVE ME A mmcblk02 ERROR.....AND WHEN WHEN I CHECKED MY PHONE ON CWM SCREEN, IT GAVE ME A LIST OF CACHE ERRORS.....AND WHEN I SWITCHED OFF THE PHONE AFTER THAT IT REFUSED TO POWER ON.....IT WAS NOT EVEN GOING INTO DOWNLOAD OR RECOVERY MODE.....BATTERY HAD ENOUGH POWER....SO ITS NOT BATTERY FAULT......I SUPPOSE THAT SINCE THE PARTITIONS WERE FORMATTED THE PHONE BECAME COMPLETELY DEAD......CAN YOU TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY WAY WHERE I COULD GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE MY PHONE USING A 'DEAD PHONE USB FLASH' OR SOMETHING.....AND THEN FLASH A BLANK BOOTLOADER AND THEN WRITE CWM?
I LIVE IN INDIA SIR.....+5.30 GMT.....I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TEAMVIEWER.....IS IT AN ANDROID APP? CAN YOU EXPLAIN MORE IN DETAIL SIR?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE THE PHONE AGAIN......
Well.. that sounds not that good...
Teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) is an easy to use and free remote control software for your PC (it runs on both Linux and Windows). We could do a remote control session if you like. I can try to help but cannot promise anything.
I live in Germany: GMT +1. Send me a PM if you want to give that a try. Next Monday. Tuesday or Thursday would be possible on my site. At least for getting a short overview.

Thank you sir,
Thanks for the reply Sir.....I believe using teamviewer requires a internet connection with good amount of data.....I have an extremely slow 2G internet connection here in India.....I searched google to find some solution for the bricked I927......and came across many posts where people have used the 'unbrick.img' which was specifically made for their samsung phone models on their SD cards to resurrect their dead phones.....The method involves creating a 'unbrick.img' with emmc files extracted from another working I927 and then writing the image on an external SD card with some linux commands or win2image software and then inserting the SD card into the dead phone and switch it on by which it goes to download mode.....once in download mode I can flash CWM or TWRP and also flash stock firmware through odin and recover the phone.....Since your a developer who is well versed in things pertaining to this, can you make a unbrick.img file for the I927 and upload it here Sir? It will be very helpful for others also on the samsung glide subforum, as there is no proper 'hard unbrick' thread for the glide on xda......Ill be very grateful and thankful to you for all your help Sir.....

Ok I have made one. It want to say it was VERY hard to find the correct instructions to do so and therefore I'm absolutely not sure if that will work for you!
Test it if you like but again: I have no idea if that would damage anything more than it is now!
See --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/cap...od-unbrick-debrick-hard-bricked-i927-t3285505
If it worked for you (would be like a miracle) then please report back!
If it does NOT work for you please report back, too!
thanks

UPDATE:
Besides the link I posted --> Could you please also try the following:
1) Power on your device and directly after that:
2) Press and hold down Vol Up + Vol Down (both the same time)
3) You should see a warning message like the attached one which is the APX mode
4) you need to release the vol buttons immediately after you see the APX mode otherwise it will continue to the non working download mode.
Does teamviewer require internet connection with a lot of data?

1927 wouldn't boot.....Help.
Ohhhh Thank you.....thank you.....thank you for your kind reply Sir.....how good of you to take all your precious time to help me.....I greatly appreciate all your hard work Sir.....wonderful...*.I wanted to download your img file to try it out and when I read the reply of brother Bubor, that the I927 woudnt boot from the SD card when the bootloader is bricked, I was very disappointed. Like I said before, I have a very very slow internet connection with very less data left....and according to brother bubor's reply I doubt this will work....It looked like he was sure that it wont work....I tried to get into APX mode as the link that brother bubor posted had mentioned, but no luck, as the phone is not going into APX mode.....I remember that when I was trying to get to the APX mode the first time, the computer flashed a notification that the APX driver was not successfully installed.....but after that I tried the method more than a dozen times, but the computer was not recognizing the phone to go into APX mode.....Does the phone go into APX mode when the full internal phone system is formatted? I tried your second method on trying to get to APX mode, but nothing happens.....the computer is not recognizing the phone.....The battery had about 30% power in it when the phone got bricked 2 weeks ago.....Dont know if the battery drained all these days of not using the phone.....And even if I get to the APX mode, I have no idea how to proceed from there to repartition the internal phone system and get back download mode.....In the link that brother bubor posted the person who made the thread has made some files to be used when one gets into APX mode.....The PIT and emmc files which are necessary for repartitioning the system and getting the bootloader work are found in that zip file.....But that zip file is for the I9103 Galaxy R.....there isnt something like that available for the I927 yet.....And is brother bubor sure that the unbrick.img file wont work on the I927?

Hi @alvcross: any update on this?
have you tried the SD card unbrick?
You said you cannot open the APX mode but what happens when you press the buttons for accessing the APX mode?
Try it even if you see a blank screen and then connect your Cappy with USB to your computer --> you should get a message about a missing driver or similar.
If that works I tell you how to proceed.

Ok so you may try to install the special apx drivers now. Unfortunately I'm on vacation right now so I cannot upload them elsewhere. I come back to you next week.

Ok could you please try these driver package here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t1379875
Follow the instructions there for installing
The next step (if the driver would work for you) will be to flash a working PIT to your device to make sure you are using the correct partitions.
Afterwards we will flash the bootloader (may absolutely brick your device if not done correctly) and then --> if all goes fine --> you should be able to flash in download mode whatever you want to.
So it is still a long way to go and I need to check all the steps first before actually we can proceed.
That may take longer so do not expect that this will be something in the next days.. sorry.
Update:
If the above universal driver do NOT work for you: Test these one here View attachment apx_driver_samsung.zip
.
Thanks for the speedy reply Sir......Ill do as you said and let you know Sir......thank you.....thank you.....thank you Sir....

But when I open minimal adb and fastboot and type 'adb devices' the phone doesn't show up in the 'list of devices attached'....the line after 'list of devices attached' is just empty.....Also the phone doesnt show up in odin....what should I do next Sir?

nvidia apx isnt fastboot/adb device. You can found tool on nvidia site ( more info https://ac100.grandou.net/nvflash ), this tool can read and write whole flash.
Before you could use nvidia's tool, you must send an uniq blob to your phone. APX mode is useless without this blob.
This blob is uniq for every phone.
i have a old mediacom tabled... a smartpad i10 3g (link to product at mediacom -> http://www.mediacomeurope.it/tablet/scheda.aspx?XRI=30) and i have tryed to restore to factory instead so many little troubles.
I have download the FactoryTool.... i have installed the Flash driver and i have download the firmware for my serial............ i have extracted it and i try to flash following the pdf instruction.
I have turned off my tablet.... clicked run and connected the tablet to usb pc port.......... i can see a usb driver has correctly loaded (Intel USB Flash Loader Utility) but on FactoryTool i see so many problems immediatelly.
So many times i see an errors says: Syncronizing device failed.
I have tryed so many times (also ever restart my pc) and some time i see an errors says somethigs similar "failed to download boot.fls"
Now what's the problems.............. the tablet it's apparently dead! i can press the power buttons also for 20 seconds and never append... the screens goes ever black and never appends.......
How i can do now ? It's time to trash this tablet ?

Your best bet is to post this question within the following thread that looks like it's the same device as yours.

OH.. ok...
Otherwise i found the solution later the same night........... i thinks it's a BUG on Flashtools 1.28......
When i extract the mediacom firmware downloaded from site i use a folder on D:\ . The zip files of roms contain a special caracter inside and the folder.
When i load all firmware files inside flashtools apparently all it's be loaded correctly but during the flash operation i obtain ALL FILE CAN'T BE FOUNDED!!!
Yeah... all files it's not be found because the app can't reach the files in this "special" folders!!! I have notified it only after hours and hours and i have read it inside a log files (ah.. all files log it's not a text files...... very strange).
After i have read the log files i copy all files extracted inside a folder D:\AAA......... i reload all files on flashtools and BAAM!! The flash opertion it's completed whitout any problems!!!
DAMN!! it's only this the problems.... the flashtools app can't reach the files if it's inside a strange name folder!! DAMN again
Now the tablet it's back to live again......... but apparently some of little trouble it's remain like the continuesly disconnession from my wi-fi............. i don't have idea what's it's the problems.......
Can you explain with more details please, I have the same problem with a tablet : Mediacom Smartpad i10
Is there any video explaining the solution ?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to revive a Samsung A5 2017. Few months ago I had a software problem with it and went to a local shop to fix it, but no luck. The repair man told me he doesn't know what's wrong with the phone. To be short, the phone was completely dead. On a second shop and opinion, the phone was erased, I mean no partitions at all .... nothing. The phone wasn't even recognized by the pc at the beginning of this story. Don't have any backups. I've succeeded to make phone visible to Odin by flashing the correct PIT file. Now any attempt with Odin ends the same way .... efs, preload failed to mount. I want to remake the partition table with Odin multi downloader, but for this I need the ops file for this type of phone or the partitions name and order (to create one) and EFS file (which I have). Maybe it's a waste of time but I like tinkering with this. Any suggestions are very welcome on how to solve this.
Thanks
Hey, I have the same problem phone doesnt respond at all and isnt recognized by my Pc. How did you get it to be regocnized at least on your Pc.
