N7100 stuck in boot - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am new to the custom ROM scene, and am learning by flashing lineageOS on my old note 2. I followed the lineageOS instructions found here, with opengapps, and it got stuck on the boot screen for hours. I wiped and tried without gapps, and it still got stuck. This is where i noticed on the lineageOS device page it said this was for the n7105, while I have the N7100.
I tried flashing a rom for the N7100 (first this then this) but both times it failed, with the error message that I am trying to flash a rom for the N7100, but that the device is t0lte.
Did I cause this, or is my device indeed t0lte? how can I fix this?
edit: logcat doesn't work while booting
edit 2: the exact error message is: 'E3004: This package is for device: t0rg,n7100,GT-N7100; this device is t0lte.'
edit 3: It seems the 'default.prop' file also specifies this is an N7105 phone.

Boot the phone into download mode to confirm the model number.

The model in download mode is indeed N7100. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

The model # is GT-N7100?
Was the phone running the latest stock ROM before flashing TWRP?
Tried flashing TWRP with Odin? Tried different versions of TWRP?

Yes! I realised the lineageOS guide linked to a t0lte version of TWRP. a quick reinstall and everything is working as intended now thanks!

Welcome to the forum! Your phone's hardly bricked if you can get to download and recovery modes. Flashing the correct (stock) firmware should get you back to working conditions. What Android version were you on prior to it being stuck and what were you trying to upgrade to?

i747M is for the Canadian and Mexican variants. If you were on stock 4.1.2, you should be able to Odin back to stock 4.1.1 or upgrade to 4.3 via custom recovery. You can go to the thread below to check the correct stock image for your phone based on carrier. Make sure you use the correct image as flashing the wrong version could hard brick your phone. Download to your PC and then flash. If you select the 4.3 version, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin, save the file to a (micro) SD card and then flash via custom recovery.

If we are going to flash a stock ROM, we would need to flash the correct version as there is risk of a worse brick if we flash the wrong one. When the phone was working normally, the old network would probably be showing during booting. If you got it from abroad, please check if you can get the information from the previous owner. If there is no way of telling the correct firmware, then you can flash custom recovery to the phone and try flashing a custom ROM via recovery. It's always tidier flashing a custom ROM to a device functioning normally but, unless we can be sure of the correct stock firmware to flash, your options may be limited.

I've seen this particular problem reported several times and it's always been a problem with the pit file. Flashing a complete stock system should fix all partition problems though. If the stock file you are using is an Odin flashable file, you may try using Odin 3.09. Otherwise, I'd suggest you find a recovery flashable image and flash via (custom) recovery.

Tried Kies Recovery - Firmware error!

SGH-I747 (non rooted)
4.4.2 KitKat OTA
I have read a ton of the (un-brick) post on the forums, but they are all rooted phones, and the problem is usually because people tried to install the wrong ROM, but this phone is not rooted.
After OTA update, the phone was fine for a while (wife's). Then is started to reboot randomly. Did factory reset, and still had the same problem.
So I picked up an S5 for my wife and put her S3 in a box. Yesterday i tried to fix the S3 with Kies, tried firmware recovery, failed (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue).
Can get to download mode but that is it. Tried Odin, back to stock file (fail auth), so im guessing because i was trying to flash older ROM, looked for new (KK) ROMs but they are not Odin friendly, then read something about bootloader and 4.4.2 will not work, so i gave up after that.
Kies, emergency recovery will not work, fails every time, so what are my options?
thanks in advance.

I suggest you flash the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte in Odin from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Copy a the latest cm10.2 ROM to your sd card.
Boot into recovery and flash CM10.2. Install the Samsung Phone Info App from the Play Store and confirm the installed bootloader and modem.
Alternatively, you could flash TWRP as your recovery, boot into TWRP, open a terminal windows, and type getprop ro.bootloader to get the bootloader version.

@Tegra56
You may have to provide some more information about your device before we can start to identify the problem:
1. Have you checked the md5sum on the ROM you are using? (To make sure you did not get a bad download)
2. Is you device rooted?
3. What is your Bootloader/Modem Version #? [Settings-About Phone-Baseband Version: ( I747UCUFNJ2- this is the latest)]
4. Have you installed a custom recovery?(TWRP; CWM; Phil's Touch)
If you can provide this information I will try to assist with the problem.
edit: If you can't get into your settings follow @audit13 instructions in Post#2 and we will proceed from there.

1 Firmware has been checked md5
2 firmware has rights root
3 This I can not say. as the phone will not turn on, it was i747
4 Was installed TWRP
Did you install cm13 for the d2att? Sounds like the incorrect ROM may have been flashed to the phone.

Ok @Tegra56
I noticed in your reply to @audit13 that you cannot get into Odin. But does the phone get into stock recovery mode?
Did you make a backup (with TWRP) of the ROM you used before flashing cm13 ? fingers-crossed
If you did, try restoring this backup first.

Ok, Here is where the fun begins!!... First we must know what your bootloader/modem # is right now. This is very Important.
Based on the information you have provided thus far, it seems to me that your firmware was out of date when you flashed the custom ROM. My suggestion to you, would be to do a clean install (Wipe) of this ROM: http://d-h.st/sV2 You can Read More about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390147 It's a Custom KitKat ROM, just so you can boot into something, the recommended gapps for this ROM have been discontinued, but you can try "Open Gapps" Choose the 4.4 -Nano Package: http://opengapps.org/
If you were running KitKat 4.4.2 chances are, you might be updated to at least I747UCUEMJB in which case they are 3 incremental firmware updates left for your device. However updating firmware should only be done using Odin so we must try the above alternative first and then work on getting Odin to work with your device. Good Luck.
edit: I just noticed you said the phone won't turn on!!....
If you have TWRP installed then you will have to hold down the "Volume up" , "Power" and "Home" buttons, release the power button(Keep holding the other two) once you feel the device vibrate, when you see the android logo you may release the other two, TWRP recovery should boot.

Losing IMEI everytime!

Hello guys!
I have a problem with my wife's Note II (should be 7100).
Starting from a stock 4.4.2 I tried installing MIUI 8 through PhilzTouch. Everything went fine, I also installed Open Gapps but I had lost the IMEI. The phone didn't recognize the sim at all (INSERT SIM).
So I tried to restore the working EFS partition (of the 4.4.2) but still the IMEI was corrupted.
I had to restore the whole ROM backup to get the phone working again.
Then i tried with RR 7.1 but I had the same problem.
Basically it seems that everything i flash make me lose the IMEI :|
Any suggestions? Thanks!
The phone was running the latest bootloader and modem before flashing a custom ROM? I also recommend using TWRP to flash, not CWM or Philz.

I'm not sure that the Samsung firmware the phone was running was the latest. Didn't think it could make any difference :/
Can you pinpoint me to the correct files?
Oh and will try with TWRP as you told
The latest n7100 firmware is here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/
To find out about the phone's bootloader and modem, you can install the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play Store.

Installed the latest n7100 firmware then flashed MIUI 8 through TWRP... Still unknown baseband and no IMEI
Tried to restore EFS and MODEM but no luck.
Same for RR 7.1.1
I'm trying Eclipse now sigh
UPDATE 2:
Eclipse working good at least!
Maybe it's just a bug in MIUI? I'm not sure as I don't have a note 2 to test.

Need help getting sim card to be recognized after flashing cm13, Thanks!

I have spent the past 2 days trying to get a new cfw installed on my phone that didnt have many bugs. I settled with the cyanogenmod13 and read that it was good for a daily driver. At first i installed the wrong gapps and would make the keyboard crash, but now that i figured that out i need help with getting the rom to recognize the sim card. I tryed reflashing with twrp 2.8.6.0 because i read that it would flash the modem correctly, but still no luck. i'm fairly new to flashing and have only done it 3 times in the past. So now i made an account here to ask for help.
Thanks in advance to all the help i get here.

Thanks for your rely, Im not 100% sure what you mean by modem as im fairly new to this whole business. I will go to the website to see what i can find. Where can i see that information about the modem i am currently running?
I recommend matching the bootloader and modem version to each other.
You can download the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play Store to learn about the phone.

Ok I did some research and learned that the modem is the baseband number that shows in the about phone section. This is currently unknown or my guess non existant and that is why the phone says that the sim card is not inserted.
I also learned that i can use ODIN to flash the modem/baseband directly without the need to reflash the whole rom.
I dont know where to find the file online for the modem that matches the rom. I have spent a while looking around and have seen older posts of people saying that they have experienced the same issues after flashing cm13 on n9005 Note 3.
Here is what i am running on my phone:
- Cyanogenmod Version: 13-20151031-UNOFFICIAL-hlte (maybe there is a newer version to this somewhere that has this issue fixed)
- Baseband: Unknown
- Kernal Version: [email protected] #5
- Build Number: 1
-hlte-userdebug 6.0 MRA58K 2127f69904 test-keys
What do you think? And thanks for you help so far. :good:
The simplesting may be this: update TWRP to the latest version. You can flash the img file from TWRP.
Once TWRP has been updated, create a nandroid backup of the existing ROM.
Download the latest ROM from sammobile.com and flash the whole ROM. This is the simplest and safest option IMHO.
After flashing the stock ROM and making sure the sim is recognized and IMEI is correct, use Odin to flash the latest tar version of TWRP , boot into TWRP, restore backup, test your sim.

Updating to the latest version of TWRP is a bad idea. If you update to version 3.0+ you can't install ROM's that use the AROMA installer. The newer versions of TWRP do not support it. The best version I've found is 2.7.8.0 to be able to handle any flashing.
The biggest problem is the sim card in my opinion.

The sim card works fine in Ecuador, I have used it before flashing to cm13. I found the website of the ones who made the build and noticed that the version that I have downloaded is 1.33 from Oct 31, 2015 and that their latest updates on the channel log is version 12. I will download and flash latest build and she if the issue is fixed.
I was referring to the card bot being recognized in CM, not on a stock ROM. Thanks.
