Well i can say i'm lucky to have flashed the DMF2 with the kernel 3.0.31 - 1174148 from a ROM of japan if i remember right and the XXDME4 modem then!

but i have a old EFS backup anyway
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] UtkarshGupta:
Link to new modem in op.

Nope, don't have the kernel. And yeah since this update improves battery life, I think kernel would also be updated.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kasra001:
Can I get the improved battery life with new kernel without new base?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] UtkarshGupta:
I can't say anything.

if you live in europe or malaysia then you have no reason to worry.

you have the latest modem, the latest kernel, the latest rom.

the only thing to worry about with me6 or mf2 is changing modems.

so if you live in europe or malaysia, i recommend you to stay with the latest rom for best battery life and stability. (in case you are going for touchwiz roms)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kasra001:
I'm living in Germany.....so your recommendation is moving to new base?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] UtkarshGupta:
yeah just flash the latest rom or a custom rom. since you are in germany, you won't need to change modem, so all will be well.

but make sure to have a efs backup before doing it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kasra001:
I'll go to the US for vacation.....if I use Verizon sim on my phone in US,Won't be any problem there?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
stupid questions:

1) if i flash a rom witch has the new kernel, and flash a modded kernel (perseus), but, without any reboot.. kernel isn't loaded, so, no efs modify, right?

2) why i don't want to use the last modem??have you find a better modem witch has the best reception ever?

i suppouse the last modem = the best for the last rom with last ril...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] UtkarshGupta:
1) yes.

2) no I live in India, and the latest modem is not the best here. And I had this problem and didn't want anyone else to have this problem. If you read a few posts back, then there is no reason for you to worry if you live in Europe.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Guys. I think I have found a way and solution to change modems and keep imei correct with the latest base.

But you must not use the latest kernel.

I might continue testing and try to publish one rom soon.

Stay tuned guys.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] UtkarshGupta:
Yeah thats the situation currently. You can use the modem with any rom, but the kernel is the problem.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
It is not the kernel only my friend. It is more than that. Csc+libs+platform
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] minamfm:
Okay so let's see if I understand this correctly because I had this problem when I downgraded back to an ME4 ROM and fixed it via my efs backup.

If I update to a ME6/MF2 rom (including updating the modem) and then I downgrade to an older modem, my efs will be unreadable to it, but will however be readable if I reflash a ME6/MF2 based ROM?

Also, as long as I have an efs backup of the pre ME4 ROMs I'm safe, right?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] UtkarshGupta:
Yeah. If you want mf2 base with different modem , flash a custom rom or a previous stock kernel. Then downgrade and restore efs.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] reachnimesh:
Bro need ur guidance. I am on the latest XXDME4 with perseus kernel on Phoenix v12 (don't know if this matters)... Like u rightly mntnd this isn't the best modem for India, I am looking to flash v11 phoenix so that I can degrade to a different version n I get better radio signals... Can you guide me how do I go at this??

Or is it as easy as simply flashing a different rom after wipes??

TIA.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
UPDATE :

Guys. I just finished building a rom with best effort fixes to the modem change issues.

Testing successful.

The issue is not just the kernel. Even if you use older kernel with latest modem XXDME4, that works fine, and yet also latest kernel XXDME6 with XXDME4 modem,

With older stock kernel, changing modems could result in unknown Imei.

Problem is with libs referencing the new base of new kernel.

However.

I managed to get it working with older kernels after fixing the libs and csc Config as well as the vendor firmware :D

Stick to other kernels even stock kernel XXDME1 is fine. With my changes I hope this issue is resolved as best effort.

Tomorrow I will publish the rom online. :thumbup:

Good night.

Always nandroid and efs backup just in case.

I really tried everything to get my IMEI back,but with any success. Solution? I send my GNOTEII to an assistence to recover everthing via BOX.

You just should had to search well xD
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] asifanwaruk:
Sorry guys, can I just clarify something for my (simple!) brain then?

I have an EU Note2 (French I think) with the dreaded stock (rooted) DME6/DME4 ROM and kernel 3.3031-1071214 dated 31-May-13.

So I am now part of the 'stuck modem club' it seems?

I DO have a backup of my EFS from long ago (definitely before this issue) and this was done using two different apps just in case.

if I wanted to get out of this situation, all I need to do is flash an older stock ROM like 4.1.1 with an older kernel and modem?

Then i will lose my IMEI and then all I have to do is restore my older EFS back over and IMEI should come back?

I like to stick to rooted Samsung stock ROMs BTW.

If it is relevent, I like in the UK.

Many thanks,

Asif

PS I have no issues with the phone so maybe just wait for the 4.2.x update coming "soon" and this will put this issue to rest? Or get out of it now is best?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Correct. After installing stock, if you iemi issue. Restore efs

No, if you don't have previous efs backup you will get generic imei, no data and no calls. Your backup is of a modified efs that only work with latest modem, the one packed with me6/mf2.Seems you are stuck on this build, sorry.

Guys.

look to my problem :

I intend to keep V17.

So What is the procedures ?

look what happend :

- I was with Omega v16

- installed ProBAm 4.2.2 rom, and everything is ok.

- camera doesn t function on Probam 4.2.2

- Installed Omega v17( before I did efs backup)

- no imei, no Baseband.

- tryed to go back to Probam 4.2.2

- no imei , no Baseband.

- came back to omega, and thats where I´m today.

So, what should be my best options. I don´t have omega 16 here, only 17. Should I try to restore the EFS made when it still functioned ?

Or should I forget Omega V17 and go back to V16 ?

any help would be very appreciated.

The question is , IF kernell changed EFS ( installed omega v17 with this kernel), How when I go back to V16( DCM3) everything functions ?

I really would I like to understand, cuz I´ve already tryed Reinstaling omega v17 and I get NO IMEI. Went back to V16 and all ok again...
