Hello. I just bought a note 2 that was locked to videotron. (sgh-t889v) I managed to unlock it, and got it working on fido. But as i suspected, all i get is hspa+. I would like some help on how to get LTE to work. I'm assuming I need to flash a rogers modem since rogers and fido share the same lte network. I just can't for the life of me, find any info anywhere. Can anyone help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
STOP.

There are some things that are still being worked out here.

It is possible you won't be able to go back to the T889V modem after flashing any other modem, and IMEI corruption is a likely occurance.

In the meantime, could you make a proper NV items and IMEI backup following these two threads?

[TOOL/GUIDE] Full NV Backup and Restore [SIMPLE] [08-03-2012]

[WARNING! + GUIDE] Backup and Restore IMEI / NV Data Procedure for GT-I9305

From the text file backup made with the NV_reader_writer tool, could you remove item 550 (that's your IMEI, which I have no business in knowing), and forward the remainder to me or post it here? Thanks in advance.

I've managed to get LTE working on my T889V with the I317M modem, but it wasn't without some trouble and I get bootloops if I try to revert to the T889V modem.

Another poster here is stuck on the T889 modem, and until I sent him a T-Mobile T889 NV backup his phone was only capable of 2G GSM, rendering it unusable with his Wind Mobile SIM card.

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dspkeff:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do in regards to your request. But it will have to be tomorrow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cheunk:
Wait did that person fix the problem with only getting 2g using the NV backup? I'm stuck on 2g also. If this helped please send me the NV backup as well.

I'm stuck using the t889 modem. As all other modems give me a unknown baseband and unknown imei. Along with a bootloop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dspkeff:
here is the full NV backup you requested. sorry about the delay! hope I did everything right lol, first time doing that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Looks all good to me. Now to do some more research and testing...

I put my IMEI back in the file, wrote it all, rebooted. No problems, HSPA and LTE still functional.

Rebooted to download mode and reflashed the T889V modem *still* bootloops, weird. :(

I'll make a nandroid and try with clean user data.

Merci beaucoup!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arrio:
How did you flash a I317 radio on a t889 in the first place anyway? I don't quote understand, but did you delete your imei to make it work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I modified another Note 2 modem recovery zip (I think it was for the T889, or maybe the T889V) to put in the I317M modem instead.

Flashing that corrupted my IMEI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ashwill:
Hello dspkeff, it's nice to see your post here, and let me breakdown what I have done to make the T889V work on the Fido 4G network by flashing the i317M modem and I'd like to ask you about the how to connect the phone to read/write the NV items.

First of all, my phone now is bricked because the IMEI number is gone (shows 0), but yes, I did get it working, not with the stock ROM, with the Jedi X 7.2 instead.

The time when I noticed my mobile data was gone was after flashing another custom kernel. I don't know if it has anything to do with the kernel or just because of flashing the modem. I did get 4G access and I tested the speed and the H+ icon was changed to 4G instead. And then I decided to try out the custom kernel, and then the data was gone after reboot.

So a lot of videos suggested that flashing the stock ROM will fix everything, but not in our cases here, because the T889V will stuck in bootloop when flashing the stock ROM... and that not only me, there are some other people on the forum who are experiencing the exact same problem.

Now we are stuck here, I've been thinking a lot, the only way I can get the IMEI back is to do the IMEI injection by using the NV reader/writer program such as QPST, or NV-items reader/writer, but I couldn't get them to even connect to my phone. That is actually the reason I'm PMing you because I saw that you provided the NV backup of the T889V! If you can read the phone, I think there is a way to write to it, and then I can preform an IMEI injection, maybe it can unbrick my phone!

Could you kindly tell me how you backup the NV-items please please? I really don't wanna lose 700 bugs lol, thanks soooo much!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dspkeff:
I used the method described in the second post of this thread. I can't help you out anymore than that since I know next to nothing about the subject. I'd love to help more than that but I really don't know how lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arrio:
Which part of the modem did you modify? Would you mind posting your modified modem?

I noticed that my T889 isn't accepting Rogers and AT&T modems -- Whenever I flash them, my baseband in settings would say "Unknown".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I modified the updater zip, the modem file is straight from the stock Odin file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MitchPT:
I cannot get them to connect to my phone either and have the same issue. I can boot by using CWM to mount and then fixing permissions but no baseband, SIM card recognition or IMEI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deliximus:
it was bootlooping for me and IMEI corruption from flashing a t889 ROM on a t889v (which worked before a number of times). I made sure the flashcounter said zero and warrantied it with Samsung. Even Samsung couldn't fix it and gave me a brand new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MitchPT:
Can only get it to 1 not zero.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vincemtl:
could you provide the i317m modem you have used

could you provide the i317m modem with instruction you have used to get lte working on the t889v.

Thanks

What we need?

1. Galaxy S3 (i tested with Android 4.1.2 XXELKC)

2. CWM (touch 6.0.1.2) dont use TWRP

3. File manager (like root explorer)

4. Wallpaper of your choice (720 x 1280) >>>> you can grab for here >>>> thanks to wiecho65 to post a wonderfull post of wallpapers!!! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935632

5. Download the UPD_universal_S3.zip >>> http://www.mediafire.com/?qth21jyf2adwcb1

This mode change: Dialer, Contacs, Settings, Calc and other things

How do we install it

1. Make a back up of your rom (recommended)

2. With a file explorer search for the UPD_universal_S3.zip and extracted (look in folder / SpeedSoftware / Extracted)

​

3. Look for the background of your choice, changed the name to tw_background_holo_dark.png, copy it >>> is important to copy the background and not move, because we will use it 2 times!

​

4. Move to folder / UPD_universal_S3 / vrtheme / system / framework / framework-res.apk / res / drawable-nodpi

​

5. We search the background or image again and changed the name to background_holo_dark.png and put in the same folder> UPD_universal_S3 / vrtheme / system / framework / framework-res.apk / res / drawable-nodpi

​

6. We see that we have two files in the / drawable-nodpi folder

​

7. Now, we look for the folder called UPD_Universal_S3 We let down the folder and choose: compressed as a Zip

​

8. Now, we changed the name of the zip, such as UPD_war_S3.zip (example)

​

9. Pass the .zip folder to the sd and flash via CWM

​

Credits to htcmania > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldLUVkgOnr4&feature=player_embedded

To put a custom image in the notification bar

​

Is the same procedure; the difference

1. Change the name of the image to > back.png (only one image here!!!)

2. Put the new back.png in the folder > / UPD_universal_S3 / vrtheme / system / app / SystemUI.apk / res / drawable-xhdpi

3. Is the same procedure as above

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
Hey folks, I was looking for a way to sync facebook pictures to my existing google contacts; the way HTC and Samsung phones did.

I tried Contact sync for facebook; but instead of syncing pics to your google contacts; this app just downloads another set of contacts with no phone numbers.... I would have an entry with no photo from google contacts; and 1 entry with a picture from facebook.

This is not what i'm looking for.

How does haxsync work? does it actually retrieve facebook pics and add them onto your existing contacts??

Just wanted to find out before I purchase.

THanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Haxsync also download another set of contacts (to your phone's contact book) however with address, pictures, birthday, phone numbers, etc. Most of the contacts will be automatically merged properly, however you will have to do some manual editing (you know, since some people are on your contact as "sister" while on FB she may be "Jane Doe", Haxsync can't know that)

Haxsync has a lot of options to customize, and the new version has the ability to merge the contact photo from FB with Google contacts, which is rather awesome (no longer have to redo Haxsync when flashing new ROMs).

I highly recommend Haxsync.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:

Hey guys!

So there are 4 versions of the Ultima for the Xperia Pro. I flashed the first one (1.0) since it got my phone stuck in a bootloop when I tried to flash the most recent version (1.1.1). What I'm asking is can I update my Ultima from 1.0 directly to 1.1.1? Or do I have to go through 1.0.1 and 1.1 first? Do I have to flash a specific kernel for each Rom or it does not matter? Also, can you guys tell me what a "generic" version is? I'm not english and I'm new to "hacking" phones. Thankss!!!

3. Boot CWM

4. Flash the zipped rom using CWM.

5. Reboot & Enjoy

Ultima 1.1.1 is based on GB stock rom , and i think stock GB should work also.

So I just flashed CM 10.1 on my I535 to get a taste of 4.2. Nice ROM overall, however it did something strange to my SD card.

After flashing it, I booted into recovery to restore my daily driver CR5.5.1 and noticed this strange “0" folder on my SD Card in TWRP.

I initially was unable to locate my backups but then found them in a folder.

My backup was unable to flash because it was no longer a .zip file. All the files were .win.

Two questions, how do I fix this and flash my backup?

How do you check to make sure TWRP is up to date?

I'm on MeanBean (not sure how this applies to other ROMS).

It was failing 99.99% of the time over Bluetooth.

I just tried uninstalling Google Search with Titanium Backup.

Then Reinstalling from Google Play Store.

Still Broken.

Then I Cleared Data on Google Search, Rebooted to recovery and Cleared Cache (thinking some BAD learned data might be the cache).

BINGO It works perfect OVER Bluetooth now.

I don't know if it was the, clear data, reboot or the clear cache but these steps absolutely fixed it.

Uninstall With Titanium Backup.

Install from Market.

Go to Apps and Clear Data (again this might clear corrupt learned data).

Boot to recovery, Clear Cache.

Reboot

I tried 5 names that would COMPLETELY fail before.

I can't say if this will stick for good, but it looks promising.

That's it.

Yeah, the Google Now voice dialing is pretty poor.

Apparently moving the app from a system app to a data app should give you the option of using either GNow or the stock Voice Dialer (at least it did on ICS). Is the stock Voice Dialer included in the build?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
I don't think the old search is included but that might allow a 3rd party app to work.

Sorry to hear about your bricking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Well at least I found a pattern...

More Info...

It's the clear cache that momentarily fixes it.

Works every time.

Reboot to Recovery

Clear Cache

Reboot

Voice Dial Over Bluetooth Works every time using say 3 different names.

Wait a minute and then it will fail with the SAME names no matter how many times I say it.

This is STRICTLY Bluetooth. Handset works fine.

My guess is when I reboot with cleared cache, it skips using the optimized search database. Because it always pauses when it works after I say the name.

I think the search database is somehow only compatible with the handset.

Once the search database is built the Bluetooth then uses it and fails from there on.

Clearing Data or Cache from the Apps Settings seems to have no effect. But clearing cache from Recovery does. It might be that when I do it from recovery there is an implicit reboot too. But Force Close, Clear Data, Clear Cache will not bring it back.
