Hello,

I have just tried your steps and I faced a different result and my phone does not connect to Videotron's/Rogers network anymore.

Here is what I have done and what has worked and not

Let's proceed with the actual modification:

Reboot to recovery, flash the 317M BMA3 modem. Wipe /cache and Dalvik cache for good measure. (WENT OK)

Reboot phone. No bootloops? Good. (DID NOT BOOTLOOP)

Check in Settings / About Phone that you still have a valid IMEI. (It's possible you still do at this point.) (MY IMEI was still valid AND it actually did connect to Rogers Network in LTE Mode !!!)

Reboot the phone. This time the IMEI and service should be lost. (They were actually lost, yes, It was written "Unknown" in the About Phone)

Using the same procedure you did to back them up, restore your NV items. (Here's where the problems have started.... it did NOT bring back the EMEI...not even after a reboot.)

Reboot the phone. (Still no IMEI...)

Confirm your IMEI is correct and that you have service. (Grrrr...)

I had actually done my NV backup using EFS Pro (the Qualcom's NV TOOL included). because I could not get the other ones working on my computer. When I restored NV using EFS Pro, everything went fine but never got an IMEI back. It stayed at 000000s. And, trying to connect back using EFS's NV tool, I got a "Invalid SPC Code" Message. So I had to unclick "SEND SPC".)

So, after step 6, what I have done is to use EFS Pro's Secure Ops tab to write back the IMEI. After a reboot, I could see the IMEI was now valid. BUT the phone does not connect to any network anymore. I have tried to switch *#2263# to Automatic or some other bands but to no avail.

The only thing I see is when I search for a mobile network, I see Roger's network but I cannot connect to it..... It says "Connecting" and it never actually connects...

Would you have any suggestion ??

Regards,

Chandi

EDIT1: I forgot to mention I have Videotron's T889V's version with an actual LTE sim card and I did configure the APN correctly.

The second strange thing I saw when Rogers was listed is that NO other network was listed. I usually could see Videotron, Rogers two or 3 times, Bell and Telus... Now I only see one Rogers and it does not connect to it.

EDIT2: Could it be that my backup is corrupt ? It seems only 1326 items are valid in it. Could someone give his backup (with IMEI removed of course) so I could try it !? I feel all the frequency bands in my NV are corrupt.

Im I just plain wrong or that makes sense ? ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chandi13:
Fixed it!

Ok.

The problem happened when I restored my NV backup from EFS Pro's Qualcom NV tool.

My fix was to restore the same backup but from a different tool (NV Items reader_writer!)

So now everything is perfect.

Good learning!

Thanks again for that tutorial

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Right now I'm running OmniROM and can't get the phone to give me its serial port. (It does show a serial port in Download mode, but I think it's only because Odin uses the same drivers.)

With EFS Pro, try sending the secure password then restoring the backup you had made again. (I suspect some items may not have written the first time.)

Which ROM and bootloader are you running? 4.4.2? Try flashing the DNF1 modem to see if that makes a difference.

Keep me posted,

Darkshado
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chandi13:
Thanks for your help. Everything actually works now. It really seems like using EFS Pro to recover the NV backup was a bad idea.

I am still using the BM3 radio as I don't feel like messing with it anymore ;)

As for ROM, I am still using CM10.2 (stable) which is .....stable but getting boring !

I am thinking about moving to 4.4.x soon but I have still not found which ROM I want to use. Anything to recommend that has performance, features and a lot of customization options ? I prefer something based on AOSP. (I keep a backup of a touchwiz one in order to be able to use the Dial Codes when I need them).

As for bootloader, I am using CWM6.0.4.1 and I have not been able to update it.. my Download mode freezes. I even have to remove the battery to leave it.

How is OmniRom ?

Chandi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Excellent!

What did you do after your last post that could have fixed it? I'd like to amend my guide.

Since I got my phone back in order, I've been able to flash back and forth between the different I317M modems with no issues. Even flashing a bootlooping T889V modem and back to an I317M one causes no further problems.

The bootloaders are to be flashed via Odin. I haven't bothered updating mine past BMA3, but iirc I only had to repack the bootloaders in a tarball and flash that. (I won't update mine past BMA3 unless it solves a specific issue or I sell the device; I do not need KNOX and I'd burn the fuse anyway.)

Without turning this in a ROM comparison thread (XDA frowns upon them) I'd say you've got plenty of AOSP based options, anything for the t0lte (N710

5

) is compatible. I'm currently running OmniROM, which has nightly updates and a couple of interesting features (such as a permissions manager, active display, editable quick tiles). I've also used PAC-man in the past; an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to features, perhaps at the expense of a UI consistency (they cherry-pick from Paranoid Android, AOKP and Cyanogenmod -> PAC), it's certainly worth a look.

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chandi13:
How I fixed it

What did not work was restoring the NV backup using EFS Pro. For some reason it left my NV corrupt without giving any error message.

What fixed it is restoring the backup(the exact same backup file) using the other tool(NV reader/writer).

Thanks for the ROMs suggestions. I'll try them out.

Regards,

Chandi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wavv.drama:
will this work with 4.4.2?

[MENTION=2892157]darsha[/MENTION]do: Thank you very much for the guide! Although I haven't tested it yet because I'm worried I'll brick my phone, I'm really eager to give it a try.

I wanted to know whether this method would work without a problem if the phone (I have a Videotron T889V that runs on Fido) would be on stock 4.4.2 AND running the Agni Kernel. I know it's compatible with the T889 and T889V versions of the Note 2 but not sure whether it is compatible or not with the i337m modem.

Merci!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I don't see why not, things have been pretty interchangeable between the various GSM+WCDMA+LTE Note 2 variants.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chandi13:
wavv.drama,

I don't think you can brick your phone. You can increase your stress level if your radio does not connect back but there are ways to fix it.

:cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wavv.drama:
Thank you, you're right, I didn't brick it :) But..

After injecting my NV Settings and rebooting the phone, the network mode only continued giving me a the three choices as before:

WCDMA/GSM

WCDMA Only

GSM Only..

I'm unbable to get the option with all three LTE/WCDMA/GSM.. so I'm stucked in with only Edge..

Anyone would have any ideas?

EDIT:

I flashed a previous modem version, the LJ2 and had further issues as the phone kept disconnecting from the network.

I don't know if it really matters but I'm currently running the stock 4.4.2 Touchwiz released for the T889V.

Thanks again :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chandi13:
Please note that I am not promoting CM11 as its audio is very buggy on my phone. If you want to go for a Cyanogenmod, I would recommend 10.2 for t0lte as it is very stable.

Chandi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wavv.drama:
Thank you Chandi. I actually like Touchwiz.. I have run CM and other roms (Omni and Pac on the T889V and CM, BeanStalk and AOKP on an I717M I had) and actually like Touchwiz over AOSP.

And..

It got fixed! I don't really know how it happened, but even though the toggle in Network still doesn't change, the phone is now on LTE (LTE directly, without modifying anything on the CSC). What I did was:

- Restore from Nandroid (nothing happened, the baseband remained on i371M)

- Flashed the T889V baseband and I still had no network.. I then tried to re-write the NV Settings and the reader/writer tool could not read the phone.. which got me really worried!

- So, I went back to i317M BMA3, since it was the last steady baseband I had, although it was on Edge only and it worked! It actually fixed itself and now it boasts LTE.

Thank you again for the support [MENTION=3966540]Darkshado[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6029701]chandi13[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Has anyone tried the new T889VVLUDNH2 ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
yes

Yes. I installed the rom.

Not sure anything really changed. I don't see an option for LTE in mobile networks settings.

However, when I try *#2265# I do see the following LTE bands as options B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B17, and B20. I am not sure if there was an LTE menu before the rom update. Can anyone who hasn't updated confirm this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] huxald:
I also installed the rom. Still no LTE/4G. Lost root, but was able to get it back with the newest version of SuperSU.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
How were you testing for LTE/4G connection? With Rogers or TELUS/BELL simcard?

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

I have tried the new T889V rom with a friends T-Mobile sim card (I am currently in the states) and did not get LTE/4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] huxald:
Telus
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
Does installing I317MVLUDNH2 4.4.2 modem on T889V (currently on a cm12 rom) automatically enable the LTE for T-Mobile? Or do I need to do follow certain steps to enable LTE bands for T-Mobile?

Or is it simply better to install the T-Mobile modem. Which bands would I be missing if I wanted LTE on AT&T?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
bump
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I had T-Mobile LTE last time I was stateside, just make sure your APN settings are correct.

Both AT&T and T-Mobile USA have LTE deployed on band IV (AWS), hard to tell about other bands because there's so little data going around.

Officially, the I317 is supposed to get LTE on 700, 850, AWS and 1900 MHz.

Apart from AWS, has LTE been deployed on those other bands by either carrier? Don't know.

Can the T889 or T889V actually get LTE on all the same bands? Don't know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
Were you roaming with windmobile on t-mobile network while stateside?

Wonder if it is worth messing around with as I am not sure that windmobile on roaming would give anything more than 3G.

Will try to test the windsim card on an unlocked T-Mobile phone. For all we know the wind simcard does not support LTE, if that is a thing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I was using a T-Mobile USA SIM card, not roaming.

Many networks required new SIMs when they deployed LTE, but I don't think that's necessarily the issue.

To get LTE, in addition to an appropriate device and SIM, you need correct APN settings as well as back-end provisioning ("access permissions", in other words) from your plan or applicable roaming agreements.

That's what I'd look into first: has anyone with Wind gotten LTE while roaming on T-Mobile USA? (If you can't find an answer here, try HowardForums.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
Hey [MENTION=3966540]Darkshado[/MENTION], I had given up on trying to get LTE on Note 2 as roaming with Windmobile on the US netowrks did not support LTE. Now I will be in the US more than Canada, and ended up getting T-mobile sim card. Do you still recommend installing I317MVLUDNH2 modem or a specific T-Mobile t889 modem? Or a different modem.

Btw. I am unlocked, rooted and on a cm12.1 custom ROM.

Thanks in advance. Also, are you still using your note 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Hello [MENTION=4495381]subaron[/MENTION],

Off the top of my head I don't recall if I've tried going from the I317M to the U.S. T889 modems at any point.

I'm not using my Note 2 as a daily driver anymore since I've upgraded to a Nexus 6 last spring. It will keep on serving as a testing/tinkering device.

Does anyone have SGS3-AOSP-DIAG.txt from

I would prefer not to have to go back to stock to make backup for IMEI/NV and do it from CM12.1 rom installed.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 AM ----------

Does this app do the same exact thing for making backups for IMEI and NV items as required by the initial post of this thread?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.efs&hl=en

Edit: was able to use EFS Professional to grab EFS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
Edit 2: Turns out there was an issue with Samsung USB drivers, which only caused issues while obtaining NV items. I reinstalled the samsung usb drivers (v 1.4.8) and was able to get the NV items. After this I was able to flash the i317m modem and restore the NV items and now have a T889v working on T-Mobile via Band 4.

[MENTION=3966540]Darkshado[/MENTION] Thanks for this thread, really helped me in the end.

Do you know outside of bands 4 and 17 made available on the T889V through the i317m modem, if I can activate any other bands? In other words, do you know what other LTE bands the T889v is potentially capable off?

I wanted to see if I can activate bands 2, 7 or 12 for better coverage.

Was able to use the following windows tool to grab EFS and Mk9efs

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/tool-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546

But was not able to use the QualComm tools to get the NV items. It connects and right away I get the message "Phone Connection has been lost" and below that "Unable to send SPC to the phone!".

I am on custom ROM CM 12.1 and do not have the option of selecting "RNDIS + DM + MODEM" from within the phone or through EFS Professional tool. Was wondering if there was a work around to get NV item backup?

Edit: ls the T889V based on the Qualcomm chip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
No idea as far as enabling other bands via the I317M modem...

As you've probably figure out since, the T889V (and other LTE Note 2s) has an Exynos CPU with a Qualcomm modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
Yeah I found out by just trying it. Figured if others got it working, then the phone had to have the right stuff. LTE speeds are awesome. I was considering upgrading to a new phone to get LTE, but now I can keep going on T889V at least till mid next year and see how Android M runs on it. Thanks again for your thread.

If anyone else needs help I would be willing to help, while the whole process if relatively fresh in my mind.

P.S. I am trying to get xposed to run on this phone (on cm12.1 lollipop) to enable NFC active on any screen (including locked screen). If anyone has any info on it, please let me know. Thanks.

I tried going to T889 (not T889v) modems and they all lose baseband.

Do you know any modems aside from I317MVLUDNH2 that works with the T889v?

There are a couple of international sim cards I have that currently work on my other phone (and used to work on the T889v with stock modem) but are not working with the I317MVLUDNH2 modem. I am getting "No Sim. Insert Sim" for both sim cards.

I am trying to understand what the issue is.

just give me all i need to install it and instruction please ? and thanks​
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
For now I suggest you to install cm9 because is almost full working. I don't personally recommend you cm10 as it's in a development phase and presents issues.

To install cm9, :

1)copy the latest fxp tom on your phone

2)extract from the fxp file you downloaded the boot.img and flash it via flashtool

3) enter recovery wipe cache,dalvik cache and do a factory reset.

4) install cm9 and after that install immediately gapps. Google for gapps and make sure that you install the one for ics.

5) reboot and enjoy!

If you want to install the cm10 just do the same procedure with cm10 fxp latest files and install gapps for jb.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SpeeDdead:
thanks alot for trying to help me , i did exactly what u said the problem was Gapps installed but when trying to open play store or other gapps , its force close , i am sure thats was gapps for ics and its the latest one too , tried another clean install and this time it's not booting so , i removed and got back to stock again and downloaded this one , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2233536 i installed it and it works like charm ^_^ and i did a battery calibration this way , full charge and hit calibrate , then full discharging to shut down then full charge again ^_^ just tell me is it good rom ? or there is a bugs i don't see ? cause i didn't tried the 3g yet and somethings but i tried everything else and all works great , srry if being annoying i am just noob

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
First of all remember that the codename for Sony Xperia Sola is Pepper. Don't install any other's devices firmware because you will have serious troubles.

So go here: http://dfiles.eu/folders/H4B5M4XR0

Download the file named FXP216-cm-9-20130419-UNOFFICIAL-pepper.zip

Transfer the file you downloaded on you phone.

From the file you downloaded extract the boot.img file and place it on your desktop.

Open flashtool. Click fastboot mode and flash the boot.img.

Once done flashing the file, turn on your device and press continuously volume down button. You will enter in cmw.

Wipe cache, do a factory reset and from advanced menu wipe dalvik cache.

After that, go to install zip from sdcard.

Find the file you previously transferred on you phone and install it.

Reboot and you are done.

For any issues let me know.

Hello!

I've got Sola with Unofficial JB stock rom by [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] (his kernel too, ofcourse). And I've got couple of questions:

1. Does 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Cyanogenmod 10.1 for Xperia Sola MT27i works with Munjeni's kernel or should I flash the one inside CM build? Apparently there some bugs there , like wifi and bluetooth.

2. Can I install CM 9 on my current kernel?

3. What's the best option here , CM9 (stable) or CM10.1?

Thanks in advance for answers, I realize these are noob questions, but I'm just netering the world of flashing :/
