Didnt work for me

Hi Guys,

I recently got the Note 2 (tmo variant) and it was running fine. Got root, installed root apps i have like titanium backup and everything was still working.

Then this morning I was freezing some of the tmo bloatware while I was at home and on wifi (so wifi calling was working) and I also have no cell reception at home. So when I went out it went off wifi calling and it wouldnt find a signal. Tried rebootting and when it powers up it displays for a short while 4g on it with a circle with a line through it which would indicate no signal. Then it stays with just the circle. I.E. no signal. I figured it must be from freezing some of tmo crap in titanium so I unfroze them. Rebooted. Nothing. Then I figured I would wipe cache, dalvik cache (dalvik cache failed to wipe by the way) and factory reset and start over. I went in TWRP recovery and did that and somehow it wouldnt boot at all. Since Nandroid backup was on pc at home and phone was stuck at samsung logo so that backup wouldnt work anyway. I downloaded a custom rom to install. Got the frosty jb 4.1.1 v1 from main threads for note 2 in here. I installed that through TWRP and phone booted up. Yeah..recovered phone..although after 1000 flashes on 5 different android phones I wasnt worried about recovering it..I knew it would just take time.

However, cell signal was still not working.

While searching for rom to recover phone I came across this thread and figured my problem might be related to this. So I found this thread again, downloaded tmo boot img tar and flashed it by selecting it as pda through odin. Flashed ok but still no signal.

Imei is still visible under about section and through *#06#.

Any ideas what else to do. Can find a post other than this related to my issue so posted here.

I really have no idea man....it sounds like you may need to flash the modem.bin..... I haven't heard anything good about TWRP on the T-Mobile Note 2....everyone is using CWM.... you may want to switch to that too until TWRP is official on our Note 2... wifi also overrides mobile data...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
I was woried that the loss of os might be a bug from using twrp on the note but the signal loss after a whole day with root has baffled me.

Can you point in the direction of a modem file to flash on the phone. Would it be flashable via cwm or an odin file?

ill look into the modem in case that fixes things and ill get cwm again since you may be all too right :)

Thanks for posting a response.

Also, thank goodness for the wifi calling right now cause at least phone still works for calls till i get this sorted :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
let me do some digging around...i'm pretty sure i can find it and point you in the right direction...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
here is the link to the forum with the modem...its flashable in custom recovery...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
thanks..I actually decided I shouldnt be lazy and ask you to do my work (even though im at work and this is NOT the work i should be doing :P) and found that myself too.

I flashed cwm with odin and then rebooted into recovery and flashed that modem...still no signal..the weirdest part is that it starts off saying tmobile in the notification area for signal..it shows a 4g symbol next to the no signal circle..it even gets signal for seconds cause my gchats come through and then it loses it.

Im hoping that a reocvery via odin might fix it. The thing is I cant find a stock tmobile image and i found a deodexed_UVALJ.zip to use with odin. Hope that works...

P.S. Another weird thing..I just received a text message while it is saying no signal. Still saying not registered on network though when I try to call... Does this have something to do with the mobile data you mentioned earlier? Because other data services arent working and text messages dont come in if I have no cell reception.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
that's very interesting...texts should come through if you are connected with wifi.. what does it say when you go to menu>settings>status...do you get any network,signal strength?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
i would give this a shot...not sure if it will resolve your issue but i believe you can flash stock through this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957720
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
says out of service. No mobile network connection.

The texts only come in if im on wifi and wifi calling is working. I know this cause at home I have no signal reception and used to use wifi calling on the vibrant and this was the only way anything worked. I upgraded later to the galaxy nexus and there was no wifi calling for ics so I would use grooveip and google voice to make/receive calls and the google voice app for texting. No normal text would come through until I left my complex and went to an area with reception.

Just noticed an area at status saying "Device Status" and underneath it modified :P. Adding custom rom flash counters, punishing you for tethering by blocking other browsers...losing cell signal if you root...I should have paid full price and got a vanilla galaxy note 2 :P

Im going to try a few more things and then I have to go to game night (we play euro games twice a week with friends). Hope to have phone working before then otherwise they will give me crap for bringing a laptop to gaming sessions :P

Thats what I used to get root. I also did a backup on it but the backup required the phone to be in android in debugging mode to restore and i couldnt do that cause phone wouldnt stat when my problems first arose...I could only get into recovery or download mode. The toolkit did not have factory images for tmobile but he said he would be adding them and I did donate to get updates and cause the tool was usefull and ill be using it a lot more. I have to wait to get an unlock key from donation since its done manually but its also one of the plans i have in mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Fixed!!!

Hey slimc84. Thank you for your help. The CWM recovery did work better and did not fail during dalvik cache like TWRP. I installed CWM through odin, then flashed a deodexed stock image (zip through cwm) I found for the note 2 and it worked fine with signal and everything. Then I wiped and installed the Jedi Master 1.1 rom. Also signal and some less bloatware.

I still dont know what caused the cell singal issue since your boot.img is probably for those who lose signal right after root..not a day after like i did...and since you mentioned issues with TWRP I am guessing that was what went wrong with me. First off it couldnt wipe dalvik cache and since it wasnt wiping correctly it wouldnt fix the cell signal issue. So CWM wipes correctly and installs fine too. Also the fact that it wiped the OS during a typical wipe is also an indication of bugs from an unoffical TWRP release. So ill wait for that ;)

I think I should stay more active in the note 2 forum for a while since more people might encounter similar issues and I might be able to help them now that i went through my first recovery of a stuck phone. Havent had these kind of issues since my vibrant flashing days where I was messing around with a lot of stuff :P

Might even work on my 8bit tribute theme for the note now that im active again :P http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966714
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
glad that you got it figured out and got your Note2 back on the right path lol...i have heard a lot of issues with TWRP...i will take that recovery over CWM anyday, but until there is an official release for the T-mobile variant i am going to stick with CWM...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
So what Rom are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
I'm using Xquizit right now...absolutely amazing ROM...haven't really dabbled with anything else yet...i like being able to utilize an aroma installer and then having the kitchen mods definitely helps me flavor it to my liking....also flashed a dialer and keyboard from the international forums...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Does it have Wifi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
yup...its a very solid rom all around too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
I downloaded it yesterday while hoping you would say yes :P

This morning phone had stopped charging at 63%. Did a reboot, pulled out battery for a few minutes, wiped battery stats and am charging via laptop at work. Hopefully it fixes issue. If not ill be flashing with the new rom.

One more question. Does it have the split screen for apps that samsung did not include on release but patched later?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
i don't think that option is in any ROM that we have yet...I'm using the perasus kernel found in the original development thread and it seems to be running better than stock kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Was Just checking. The dev from jedi master rom said he is working on bringing the split screen app feature to his update. Samsung released a stock update for it..XXLJ1 but without wifi calling im not touching any other rom :P Absolutely no signal as soon as I drive into my complex...

Im wondering why I lost signal and your boot.img never fixed it...I mean problem is solved..but why would this happen? Its something to wonder in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread and cant fix it with boot.img as well..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
my guess would be something got corrupted either during the root process or TWRP caused an issue when you used it....it has been updated to work on our phones so it shouldn't cause an issue now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] swhtownboy:
Does this actually backup your imei number?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Happened again..this time without me messing with any tmo apps in titanium..just random...the only main thing to notice is that i often have to go in an out of signal areas and get signal though wifi calling and then when i move back into signal it usually recovers...

Well now it happened again..just randomly this afternoon even though everything was working fine all day.I will have to wipe again and try flashing and see how things go. If this didnt recover after wipes id suspect hardware for it,,,but since wipes, odin or similar fix it it seems something software is doing it..something im running perhaps...im gonna post in jedi master post to see if anyone has come across this...

The easiest way to troubleshoot this is to restore factory image and run that for a week with bare essentials...no extra weird software i run...then start adding one thing a day...darn..this troubleshooting can take me a month :P

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

jut an educated guess here..but i think not..the point of this is to restore your imei or signal if you lost it after root...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
you are correct...it does not backup your IMEI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] djseven:
Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JUSMEJOSE:
I still don't get it how are people loose their IMEI or signal .... ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mysticfrog:
Im sure someone will correct me if im wrong but it happens when you flash a rom that may have another modem .. like if your on tmobile and say you flashed a Verizon one.... you just gotta make sure that there "modem free" I believe..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JUSMEJOSE:
Alright ... its wierd because I have been flashing phones and never encounter this problem .... I just wantrd to know ....

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrewsialNL:
Hey everybody,

I awarded myself last Saturday with a new Samsung Galaxy S III (Orange/Romania), and I found that the plastic right above the volume rocker is movable. Whenever i press it, it 'ticks' or 'squeaks' a little.

Would this be sufficient enough to get a replacement? I love the phone, it works brilliant but this little thing makes it for me less than perfect.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks,

Yes, you can get a replacement, if they don't want to give it, force it and don't be shy.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeverageW:
My HTC HD7 (T-mobile) was initially bricked during an update.

Took it to a questionable phone repairer ..

Now you can start the phone, it goes to a red, blue and green screen with the following information:

PD29110 88-BC (4K)

SPL-1.16.2250.0(110866)

MicroP(LED) 0x07

TOUCH 81(v1.8,#1624)

Then it goes to a white screen with "Enter USB Host Mode.."

You connect it to the computer and it is not recognized via USB. Cannot turn the phone off using the on/off button.

Anyone know how can this be fixed?

NOTE: I am totally illiterate to phone tech talk so keep any answers to "very simple instructions". Thanks in advance :good:

Try flashing the device with a Tmobile Pre-NoDo/NoDo stock rom via the goldcard method and that should fix it.

Goldcard method - requires a Y cable, (either home made or purchased online) SD card reader and a 1gb to 2gb SD card (larger SD card can work but needs to be partitioned to 1gb) download the goldcard tool, goldcard image and the stock rom

Use this Tmobile rom -

https://rapidshare.com/#!download|4...02_Radio_5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U.7z|9315|0|0

Follow the goldcard tutorial and download the goldcard tool and image here -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597837

This process seems alot more complicated than what it really is...actually it's easy.

Download the goldcard tool and goldcard image and put them in a new folder on the desktop

Download the Tmobile rom and extract (use a program like 7Zip) it to a new folder on the desktop. Connect the SD card with the SDcard reader to the PC. Remove the Ruu_signed.nbh file from the rom and rename it to SCHUIMG.nbh (has to be capitalized) and put it on the 1gb - 2gb SD card (clean/wiped and formatted to FAT32)

Run the goldcard tool and press the Load goldcard image button and choose the goldcard image, the select patch MMC button.

Connect the SD card reader to the Y cable and connect it to the power source, put the device into "Enter USB Host Mode" and connect to the Y cable and the flash process should begin.

That's pretty much it. After the flash process the the device should be fixed and from there you can either connect it to your PC and update the device through Zune or you can install XSPL (RSPL/HSPL) and then flash a custom rom like one of the OS 7.8

If you need any help just let me know!

Loading ...

Thanks xdrc45, I really appreciate your assistance.

I managed to do everything you mentioned ... connected all up and the phone went from "Enter USB Host Mode.." to "Loading..." and then it just stays on that screen.

I left it on for over an hour and still no change. Any ideas?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Your welcome!

I had this same problem when I flashed mine with the goldcard method and I ended up using a different card reader and the flash process started immediately. Good thing is, it's recognizing the connection since it changed to "Loading" which means the Y cable is working.

Try some of these and see if they work -

1. Use a different card reader. If the card reader uses a USB cable (like a printer style USB cable) try a different cable.

2. Try switching around the connections to the Y cable.

3. Sometimes the camera button will get stuck in and prevent the device from flashing.

4. Make sure there are no other files on the SD card other than the SCHUIMG.nbh.

When the flash process doesn't start and it hangs on "Enter USB host mode or Loading" make sure to disconnect the device and pull the battery and re-enter USB host mode to start the process again.

Try these and let me know how it goes!

I already have a replacement black S that I'm using now so it would just have been a spare.

You have to buy Front cover with LCD...otherwise you can not fix the RF cable from bottom anntena to main board.

The front cover without LCD doesn't have cable fixing material inside.

And just follow the "LT26i Working Instructions -mechanical-"

Hi, I have a HTC Desire GSM and have tried both AOKP 2.0 and MIUI 2.6. I´ve done both installs using clean installs, total wipe and so on..

The Roms are both looking, feeling and working really great and really fast...i use A2SD to put all possible apps on the sd-card...

In the MIUI rom what happend was that suddenly some processes stopped running.. so I had to reboot my phone.. a nice reboot but after that every config that I made.. all contacs, all sms etc was gone. The only thing left was the apps installed on sd-card.

With AOKP what happend was that I was talking on the phone and when I wanted to hang up the screen was total black.. not responsive to any command. Not even powerbutton, volume - and centrebutton to reboot. I had to remove the battery.. after that same thing happend with contacts, sms and so on....

Any suggestions...

The only thing that I know I dont have done is to resize my internal partitions.. I think I´ve read that system partition must be 200 mb.. i´ve also formatted my sd-card.. "i think" i have it in ext3 or ext4..

I have been using MIUI on Desire for few months and it was very stable ROM for me. I don't think you have to resize any internal partitions, it's unnecessary. If u still want MIUI, I prefer to install MIUI D2EXT (official download). Make correct partitions on your SD and enjoy great rom.

Thanks for the advice... but I have had MIUI 2.3.7 for months.. and yes it is very stable.. just some minor things.. but since I like both AOKP and MIUI and Jelly Bean I tried that one. So far it is very stable and pretty fast .. but my bug seems not have happend to other users.. that is why I was asking for some advice.

I´ve formatted my sd-ext now with ext4 instead of ext3.. maybe it has some effect.. who knows :)
