Yes it's a bit less responsive... We got to try to find a way to get our 889v radio back on our notes.... if only I can figure out what is the CSC code. Maybe it could help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] demension21:
hmmmm interesting, found that my mps_code.dat in the esf folder has the abreveation TMB

wich is for the USA

USA: ---> AWS, CLW, DOB, TMB

Now I'm in Canada, and the codes are

Canada: ---> BMC, RGS, TLS

looks litke the abreveation for

BMC = bell mobility

RGS = rogers

TLS = Telus

This sounds doable, however my only issue is that when I try to setup QPST, my phone is not recognized. Even after changing the proper Qualcom settings. In fact when although it does find the phone in the device manager once I go to ports it finds the port but it reads "no phone."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agovinoveritas:
As a quick update. I got 3G back and voice as well. The reception is a little flaky but I can now make phone calls and data. Although again, data is a bit on the slow side.

I still have not gotten the IMEI back which I will work on it now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agovinoveritas:
Injected IMEI into T889v and it is back and it is a GO. The only small issue aside possible flaky internet is that my phone number is still incorrect. But now that I think about it, that was even from before all this nightmare happened.

So I am good for now, I have a working phone -sort of- and I an alright internet connection. The only issue is that I guess we are stuck on a different modem. So as far as updating to different ROMS, I would assume we can AS LONG as you do not update the MODEM.

I called WIND to reset my account on their end just to see if that would inject my IMEI, and nope, it did not. So at least now we know that will not work. You have to inject yourself through the means of the OP.

EDIT: ACTUALLY... I DO NOT KNOW IF DOING A FACTORY RESET MIGHT MESS YOU UP. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjp420:
I accidently restored all system and user applications with Titanium backup. Now when I have 4g signal, no matter how many bars, I don't have a data connection. Call quality is also terrible. When I'm on lte, everything works great. In addition, when I make or receive a call, even if I'm on lte, it switches back to 4g or Edge if I turn off 4g in the *#2263# settings. Does anyone think that flashing that qcn file will fix this? If so can someone post a link to the directiins for flashing it or give a quick rundown of the process? I assume you can flash it via Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
First, check your APN and make certain that it is correct. If that is good then you might flash your nandroid see if your data connection is still gone. If none of that works factory reset and start over.

The lte thing popping into edge or hspa/umts on a phone call is perfectly normal. Tmobile doesn't support voice over lte at this point.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjp420:
I have already flashed the stock firmware and factory reset and it didn't help. Also I checked and reset APN settings. Still the same. I thought the problem described in this post was essentially the same behavior I'm experiencing, but maybe I'm wrong. You don't think flashing the qcn file will do anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agovinoveritas:
Okay, it sounds to me, correct me if I am wrong that you are having issues with your reception after doing a recovery a from Titanium backup? Correct? As I am not sure when you say "restored all system and apps" since technically that should not have done anything to your reception. So could you be more exact?

However if that is the case, you really do not understand what this thread is about. Sure some of the symptoms may seem the same but this thread is about people who flashed the wrong modem onto their T889v and completely lost ALL connectivity (voice/3g etc) and lost their IMEI...

It sounds like a completely different issue from what it seems you are describing. Randomly flashing the qcn can either do nothing or fry your modem. If you are already on T-Mobile then chances are that it will do nothing but if it did anything you are then risking flashing a file just because?

Do not flash the qcn.

Do more research into the symptoms --which you have somewhat mentioned and match it with what you did, surely you are not the first one who that has happened to. Many people have made their situations worse by simply thinking that what worked for one issue will solve another.

I would recommend (as a start) as it been said, do a factory reset. Redo your backup see where you stand. If that does not work. Then flash factory ROM and set it up, see how it goes from there. If it works great then just reflash whatever rom you were on and you are off to the races.

If not, then do research and describe what you have done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjp420:
I understand you are trying to help and I really appreciate it, but as I clearly stated in my last post I have flashed the stock rom and did a factory reset with no luck. Behavior is the same.

Not sure if you have used titanium backu before, but with it you can backup not only user installed apps, but also system apps. After restoring all of them, I read that the system ones are color coded and only green ones should try to be restored. Too late, it had already caused this problem.

"THANK YOU-------- THIS WAS A GREAT POST MAN I SOLVED MY PROBLEM

I REPAIRED MY IMEI WAS SUCCESSFUL BUT LOST 4G SIGNAL THE T889 STUCK WITH EDGE ONLY

WHAT I HAD TO DO IS FLASH QCN FILE THE ONE INTENDED FOR FIXING ATT VIRGIN TO USE T-MOBILE 4G

FROM HERE: see attachment

USING (QPST)

THAT DIDNT CHANGE MY NEW IMEI IT JUST FIXED THE 4G

THANK YOU AGAIN"

This guy seems to have been left with the same symptoms after fixing his imie and on a t-mobile note 2, so why do you not think it's a good idea to try? I have not found anyone else posting about this issue and I made a thread about it that got no helpful response. I am about ready to return my phone for a new one and tell them it never worked in the first place.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agovinoveritas:
Hi,

Yes, I am trying to help but no, it was not very clear/specific.

You hinted that you had done but did not say exactly how it happened. What I am trying to say is that you are supposed to be extremely precise when describing exactly what you did. For example, where you coming from which ROM? Was your Backup from the same ROM or different ROM? Was is a T889 or T7XX series ROM?

Which stock? I think T-Mobile has three and 3 radios. Which Radio were you on? Which radio did you put on?

I have used titanium before. So the issue is, which files did you back up? All of them or just a few? Correct me if I am wrong but TB by default backs up files from System/App folder, that is not where the modem files are located to I would say flashing the qcn would do nothing.

Have you checked your EFS to see if is still there? Do you still have your IMEI under settings?

Although you are saying the side effects are close, I will try to be exact, not pedantic.

This thread is specifically for people with a T889V who flashed either an AT&T or most likely a T-Mobile modem. That messes up your IMEI, EFS folder and basically corrupts your modem files (in our case there are three files). We are left in a situation where were are running a T889V rom but stuck on a different carrier's modem. In Canada the AWS networks do not have EDGE so we are not even able to connect to the network outside emergency calling, basically we cannot connect to our carrier at all. That is why we install the QCN, to add AWS functionality because we lost the files that tell our phones what AWS is. This is NOT your issue if you say you can connect to 4G even if briefly.

I do not know which files you restored that messed up your phone. I would suggest you find that out first. As in WHICH files did you pick to backup. If you don't know, then find out, don't just flash things for the hope it will fix your phone. That is how people brick their phones. Out of stupidity or desperation.

Then your safer and quicker bet is, if you are still under warranty, put everything back to stock as much as you can, Triangle it away and take it to have it replaced.

If you want to try a hail marry, then go ahead and flash the QCN. But people have screwed with their phone so much that it gets to a point that they can't even get into recovery. Not saying that may happen to you, in fact I doubt it but don't guinea pig your phone -- at this point, go for the safe bet.

If you still want to flash it, then let us know, please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjp420:
Thank you for taking the time to try and help. Let me try to explain better.

I had a T899 that was stock and never rooted, but the proximity and other sensors started to go wonky and T-mobile replaced it under warranty.

I got the new phone and wanted to get all my apps with their data on the new device

I rooted the old phone by flashing CF autoroot with odin.

I installed Titanium Backup and did a backup of all user and system apps.

Then I used triangle away and flashed the stock firmware for the 899 and got it ready to return.

Next I rooted the new phone with the same procedure.

When I went to restore the apps on the new phone, I did not know that most of the system apps should not be restored. I restored all the apps, system and user.

Right after the restore, I noticed the problem.

Any time I have 4g reception, my data does not work. Reception for calls is so bad with 4g signal that I had to turn off 4g so I could use E for calls.

When I have lte reception, my data works great.

That is where I am now. Here are the things I have tried that had no effect. Flash stock rom for 899; factory reset; check and reset APN settings.

I have searched the threads and google for hours and come up with nothing about this issue. I posted a thread and didn't get any advice, so if you have any other ideas that would be great.

I don't see any way to know which particular system app that got messed up because I restored all of them.

Maybe I misinterpreted what the guy before me was describing as the same symptoms. Now that I look at it again, when he says he can't get 4g, he may mean that his phone never shows 4g signal. Mine however, will constantly show very good 4g signal, but no data ever works. If there wasn't a lot of lte in Austin I would be totally screwed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rail205:
Demension, have you been able to update to any 4.3 roms. I have been resisting due to the fact I think we have to flash a new modem for it to work and dont know what the effect will be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] demension21:
I'm actually on kitkat; but I don't think we have to flash a new modem

I've recently flashed the Jedi master Rom without changing the modem and data was fine

In case. Flash a modem after the Rom is installed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agovinoveritas:
Okay,

So a lesson to everyone. Although not a full lesson as I have not fixed the problem yet.

I managed to get reception back as per OP's excellent fix. Then I updated to 4.1.2 Jedi Rom: No problems.

Then I decided to update to SlimKat, and there were no problems there. Then I switched to Omni and still no problems.

Then I tried to upgrade the OMNI install and I failed as I got an error (7).

Now here is where it got weird. In order to upgrade these days they recommend that you delete data and on top of delete cache/Dalvik and factory reset. So when I went back to my usual ROM I found it buggy. I reflashed from back up --which also had the EFS folder backed up and it was just unstable and began crashing.

Retried doing the fix that originally worked but I have two small issues. One is that again the QPST is not reading my phone and for the life of me I cannot remember what I did to have it read the first time. Second, I think the whole 4.1.2 --> 4.3 Bootloader thing is now an issue as well.

I am currently on Root66 Wind 4.3 Rom. It does not bootloop at all which is what happens if I go back to ANY of my 4.1.2 backups now. Which they all have an EFS backup.

When you said to flash a modem, which one did you have in mind?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agovinoveritas:
Okay... I guess I will answer my own question to help anyone out there.

So I installed my original, now not working 4.1.2 backup. Then, I updated to 4.3 radio. That stopped the random reboots. Just like updating to a full 4.3 TW ROM did but without reception/data.

So while on 4.1.2, I redid the solution of the OP and phone now work and I am currently doing a backup of this configuration.

So to make long story short.

As of this moment:

Running 4.1.2 TW. Which I will shortly try to update to a modem-less 4.3 TW or go back again to 4.4 Slimkat/Omni which I already was on.

Running T-Mobile 4.3 radio. So whatever you do, make sure any ROM you move from here is bootless and radio less.

Radio has the 317 ATT QPST patch.

Already had a IMEI file that I reflashed using NV-Read-Write.

VOILA! Everything working. Doing speed test. I am good.

This goes without saying make a backup of this new setup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syrkay:
Thank you so much

I just want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I've been recently bummed up cause I accidentally flashed the international note 2 rom on my sgh t889v and as a result messed up my bands and imei and all that jazz. I spent the last 2 days ( over 15hours total) trying to find a solution and tried a whole bunch of them and yours is the one that finally helped save my phone! Thank you so much! I can't express enough how thankful I am. I followed your exact steps ( I had exact same issue of device not recognizing in QPST in 4.3 etc) then it worked! As like you, I am currently on 4.1.2. Do you know if the Jedi 4.1.2 rom will work? (I'm going to be smart now and back up ESF, nandroid, etc but want reassurance from somebody experienced to know if it will work in the first place) Also, Is it possible to flash on a 4.3 rom (Jedi) over the current 4.1.2?

Now I know why messing up your IMEI can be such a pain. I learned my lesson :c

Edit. Thank you OP as well!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agovinoveritas:
So two quick points. Your phone is, as of this writing eternally broken. Unless you pay to have it fully fixed or someone comes up with a free fix here in XDA. So you, me and anyone who has flashed the wrong model modem will have to be aware of it in the future when you flash anything.

Two, yes, unlike most 4.3 ROMs which are factory ROMs with perhaps injected SU and ROOT, you have to find a ROM that has had the Modem stripped unless you want to do all of this all over again.

To answer your question, I found a modem-less 4.3 ROM and it is running without any incident, except a bit of a snafu with superuser and root. But as I said as per my previous note, I WAS running 4.4 before.

I think the issue in my original install is was a home-cooked version of OMNIROM with Multi-screen. There might have been something in that rom that changed my setup. Historically I will stick with SlimKat. As it has worked for me without issues.

Although, again take note if doing a system or data wipe messes up your config.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnidH4x0r:
I flashed T-Mobile roms on a ATT model though... and everything seems fine.. is it just an issue with the international roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syrkay:
I managed to flash a stock 4.3 rom (used the wind one) then flashed on JediX2 4.3 rom. Everything was working fine but I had an unstable network ( kept switching between having singal and the "circle with the slash"). Then I flashed on the MK7 modem and now everything is working fine. :)

Perfect solution to no network after repairing the IMEIfor wind network or aws bands

Followed through the instructions and my wind network on note2 with tmobile baseband modem of ll4j is back. I used z3x to repair my imei but was only getting rogers here in ontario, then fixed the connection to wind network with just uploading the qcn file to my phone as posted instructions on this thread.

Baseband unknown

This is my first time posting. I hope I'm posting in the right spot. I used kies to update my SGH-T889 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 tried to unlock sims using the the method from this site. Didn't work until I downgraded back to 4.1.1. So I upgraded back to 4.3 the lastest firmware from sammobile. I lost baseband and imei. Tried downgrading again with stock firmware, still no baseband or imei, but now my internal storage is blank also. Storage returns when odin back to 4.3 only. Tried flashing every stock rom and modem listed on sammobile and all Route 66 roms and modems. Tried flashing some custom roms using cwm and twrp but they started giving me errors some (status 7) and some just saying (bad). Using *#7284# method QPST, NV Reader says the phone is not connected using any rom custom or stock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For a moment I thought your bringing up the topic of Canvas 3 HD..

How much signal strength does the wifi have in your class when you're sitting..

Well, it might be possible that the wifi connection you're trying to use has very less internet speed. ..if speed is very less, many a times our phones don't connect to wifi, well this has happened with me... and if the phone your friend is using is a normal java phone then even the very very less speed is just fine to work with...Android phones were made to be used with high speed Internet. .

I don't think it might be cause to superiority of hardware. .. Why will Samsung provide bad hardware in their flagship model? ?

So I have installed a new "stock" rom from this thread witch is already rooted : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
