Thanks again for the info. So in my case, the steps I should take ;

Try the stock roms (I will try all, we are not sure which fixed it)

Flash TWRP ( old version)

Flash Philz

Flash DN4

------------- at this point the problem should be fixed I hope, if not I will ask for your help again :)

Thanks actually I tried factory reset but it doesn't work. It stays as it was.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
That's, more or less, the way I went about things. Note the following, though:

- I would start with the 4.4.2 ND3 for France stock rom because I believe that's the one fixed it for me originally, then 4.4.2 for UK if it fails, finally 4.3 for UK if you're desperate. Also, it's painful waiting for multiple ~1.2GB downloads to finish so it's best to check through the entire process starting from one stock rom at a time. Then revert back to flashing another stock rom if the first fails and so on.

- Flash the latest TWRP t03g version (not the t03gub) tar file though Odin PDA/AP tab.

- Flash the linked PhilZ Touch through TWRP recovery. No need to install SuperSU yet, if requested.

- Wipe all partitions (data, system, cache, internal storage etc) clean to install a new rom.

- Flash DN4 rom and wish for the network issue to be resolved.

- Flash TWRP and/or another rom plus mods if you so wish and all of the above goes well.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brkk620:
Dude, seriously, god bless you =)

The French stock rom worked. I am back to my first note 2 :)

Now I want this rom, so I need to flash the DN4 first, right?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
That's honestly brilliant to hear.

RR rom is very similar to the rom I'm currently using (CMX). Assuming the French stock rom is booting and working fine without any issues, network related or otherwise, then I see no reason to have to download and flash DN4 before repeating the process a third time for installing RR. I had to install DN4 since I had edited my partition size a long while back, thereby preventing my NII from ever running stock Sammy roms correctly, thus resorting to modified-stock DN4 to check whether the network issue was actually fixed before finally flashing CMX.

Of course, if you want to replicate my every step, then go right ahead! While, it may be unnecessary in your case, it certainly won't (or at least shouldn't) break anything else in process. It's up to you now to decide on which way to go about flashing RR.

Cheers.

I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2, does it matter what ROM I use for it?

This link

grantbarker. com samsung-galaxy-note-2. html

Suggest that there are only ROMs specifically made for Sprint Note 2's & other ROMS won't work?????

Like can I use any of the ROMs listed under the GT-N7100 section?

Speaking of which, is there a general consensus on the latest up to date & most stable ROM available?

It's daunting looking through all those ROMs.

Pleaseeeee Help!! IMEI: NULL/NULL & NO SIM-CARD DETECTING.

Hello Sir!

I Rooted my SAMSUNG NOTE 2(GT-N7100) and Flashed DN4 ROM Using TWRP.

But when my phone Turned on, there's no SIM CARD DETECTION, It's showing "Insert USIM Card to Access Network Services" and The IMEI got "NULL/NULL".

and I didn't done the Backup of the Official Firmware too :(

I just Wipe the Data/Cache/Delvik Cache and Internal, then Formatted it and then I installed DN4 Rom and even flashed 5 Updates of that ROM too.

Pleaseeeeeeee help me out, I am too much afraid because my phone won't get into any problem further.

I will be thankful to you! Please.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beeshyams:
Yes , it does matter big time. Each carrier ties you down using things like locking bout loaders etc and ROMs specific to your device AND carrier tackle these best. You may find a ROM that also works on your device but unless specifically mentioned by developer it is not a good idea to try any ROM... You may just end up having a paper weight instead of mobile

Yes it is daunting to search for right ROM. There is never a consensus on what is the best ROM. You have to prioritise what is most important to you.. Like battery life, performance, looks, ability to add bells and whistles, tweaks and decide after researching the forums. Despite all this research, NO ROM can ever be 100% bug free... That's not to discourage you but set the expectations

It can be quite addictive once you are comfortable with flashing ROMs, so enjoy the learning

Am not an expert but a couple of suggestions

1. Always clean flash ROMs

2. Suggest use a launcher other than TW so that you can switch between ROMs without setting up laboriously

3. Titanium is a great tool. Definitely the worst in terms of user friendliness IMHO , so please take time to learn it

All the best and have fun

Hi, i'm using the wesam.othman ROM4.4.2 v7.0. This rom is perfect, i'm using about a month, and today it's give me a weird bug. My contacts app sometime FC, some contacts i can edit and save, some others i can't save my edits, when i click on "save" nothing happens. I reinstlaled the app replacing the apk in /system/privapps and not solved, i flashed s5 contacts, interface has change, but this problem persist.

The developer of this rom recommended me to reflash with full wipe, but i'm hopeful that there's a way to fix it without a need to fullwipe .

Someone can help me?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
All Samsung devices are similar in this matter, so you can read the threads for another devices. Did you create a nandroid backup of your previous system? In such case there would be a copy of your EFS folder there. Sometimes EFS is totally fine, just modem gor some reason isn't mounted- so the IMEI problem may have several causes.

Sometimes one or other of the methods helps, other time none does. Even in worst case, Samsung service can restore IMEI for few $. Good luck :)

Hi

This may not work but suggesting since you are so desperate.

There is an app on play store IMEI toolkit + costs one dollar. You may like to try

Please note that this may not work at all. I am not an expert. I bought this app to back up IMEI on a friend s recommendation. At least you can use in future for backing up IMEI in addition to nandroid

If you try, do share your experience for benefit of others

Im trying to flash firmware via odin, and the phone is already in odin/download mode. During the process, it failed few times and i decided to do it all over again.

Hey guys so i am kinda newbie in this things,but i installed a lot of roms till now. By just folowing carefully step by step everything. Never messed up,ocasionally got some phones into a boot loop but managed to revive them. Also bricked a Nexus 4 but revived that as well. Anyway. My question for you guys is....how do i know if my Note 2 (n7100) Has the boeffla or as a matter afact ANY Sound mods installed on it ? All i know is i have this:

Android 4.4.2

Baseband N7100XXUFND3

Kernel version

And it wasnt rooted. But somehow it had TWRP installed on it. So i went for it and rooted straight away and first i tried installing Viper4Android 4 but it kept giving me error on installing via TWRP so i installed the old one (2.3 i guess) Witch sucks actually cus the sound is very ... distorted and un-natural. I cant seem to find any setting that would sound good and i wanna get the most out of my Note 2 on sound as i am a huge basshead. I`m frustrated cus i bought a pair of Monster DNA In ear,Skullcandy Ink`D,Skullcandy Smokin`buds Skullcandy 50/50 and Skullcandy Holua Wood. And none of them sound that good. (I thought with some good earbuds problem will be solved but NOPE).

So please .... Please guys have some heart and help me out... :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beeshyams:
Hi

If you are keen to have Boeffla and don't mind changing the kernel, suggest fishing Agni kernel pure ( if you are on TW). Had a wide variety of sound settings and am pretty sure you won't be disappointed
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HluscuAndrei:
Ok then i will try this. All i have to do is get the rar reboot into twrp and install straight away without anything else,no ? I mean without wiping cache or anything else. And is this gonna interfere with my current kernel ? I dont even know what i have on my n7100 right now. That is why i am asking ... i want to find out what i am currently running cus maybe i am running on boeffla without even knowing. LoL i know i am givin some headache but im still trying to learn. Thanks for your quick response mate.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beeshyams:
Ko

Edit: made some important corrections

I do not know how to check what is the sound you are running

1. You will need to download kernel from Agni pages...please make sure to download appropriate kernel -pure if you are on TW

Many versions of kernel. read through and choose most stable- i am using one maybe a two versions before, see signature

2. make sure you have the latest TWRP( i use openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-t03g, not the latest but is fine for N 7100) make a nandroid backup using that so that if anything goes wrong, you can reflash

3. Install from TWRP and you will have a choice of Boeffla or wolson if i rememeber right, at least on my kernel,make sure you see the status =0 at the end, dont reboot from that screen but go back to TWRP , and wipe cache and Dalvik ( you will see those options)

4. you will not as a thumb rule have the old kernel intact but like all rules exceptions happen, that is why have a nandroid copy. Always a good idea to make complete N android back ups

After rebooting, go to Agni settings ( shortcut icon will be created), give it root access and then go to the bottom where you have a drop down , additional tweaks or something like that and choose whatever sound tweak you like. This kernel gives you option to do a hell of lot other things, so get your music right first and explore

Few tips

1. we all were learners and i still am a learner -that shouldnt stop you

2. read, read ,read the Agni forums, you will surely find an answer if in doubt

3. Good form to hit the thanks button at the bottom of post, if some one helped you or if you read something you like. Some one is taking time and that is what you do to appreciate

All the best

HUGE Charging problem after installing Agni Kernel !!!

Ok so i installed Agni kernel (The last version available for n7100) And i was baffled by the sound and the multiple options for it !! (I only took a look at the sound Mods and that was it) Basically just set it up fast,enabled Eargasm and setup the eq and went to work. Everything seemd to be fine,i was enjoying the amazing sound i was actually very happy. That was till i got home and i plugged it in as i only had 8% battery. Watched a 5 min youtube video and after i exited fullscreen mode i was baffled o.0 I ONLY HAD 3% battery !! What ?!? I could`nt understand why !! It was only a 5 min. video and i watched it while charging !! In normal way my phone should`ve been up to 15-20% by now. But now was even under !! I plugged it in with 8% and after 5 minutes i had only 3% !!! What is that ? Anyway. I left the phone alone started my laptop,and checked it out after 25 mins. (Normally it would`ve been at over 35% till now,cus before it used to charge fast as i am using an 2A ETA-U90UBE. (In under 30 mins i used to have over 40-45% batt.) But now.... after 25 mins it was barely at 6% !!! 6% !!! From 3% !! In 25 mins ? What is wrong ? (Again i remind you that i DID not change any settings AT all just the EQ and enabled Eargasm).

So what is going on with my phone ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beeshyams:
1. Be patient. Let it settle for 3 charging cycles and then decide if charge is ok or not. You can improve situation by changing governors which is a whole new ball game

2. Read, read and read...... You will find the answers how to improve the charging speed from within the kernel settings whether on wall charger or USB. But before that check if cable is properly inserted...

Not being smart but encouraging to read and get answers. Possibly every Q you have had been answered before. You got a detailed step by step instructions to start... Now it is time to read and learn. That is the way you will help yourself and others as you grow here

All the best

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

OK on second thoughts if your charging is not OK even after checking cable, in kernel settings set AC charge rate to 1900, USB charge rate to what you want AND the next option if I recall gnore AC unstable or something like that ... Enable

I am from India.

Then I tried to flash lollipop ROM after I rooted it and installed custom recovery. I installed new ROM.

It was great but I lost my efs partition and so does imei.

So to recover imei I flashed stock ROM via Odin but during that time I made mistake I flashed France firmware of 4.4.2 so in Odin it failed.

Now phone doesn't booting up just Samsung screen and immediately off then on again.

I can go to downloading mode but not in recovery mode.

Please help me and if I can get it back via Odin then please send me link of Indian firmware:eek::eek:

Yes, if you are sure to have an international N7100, just flash a custom recovery with Odin. With TWRP or PhilZ you can easily backup also your EFS folder as first. Also create a nandroid backup of your entire OS for the case you need to return.

I don't follow LP development, I am running on my N7100 SlimKat 4.4.4 that I am perfectly happy with.

You need TWRP or PhilZ as tar.md5 for Odin. Use Odin 1.85 or 3.04
