I just flashed V1.1 from my internal SdCard . now my phone doesn't connect to any network ..

still have my EFS and modem detected and when I search manually for my network and choose it does say Registered on Network but the network mode remains on "Emergency Calls only" .

I tried to restore Nand of my earlier stock DLK7 the problem remains..

on my installation of the rom I chose Kernel XXDME1 as recommended and XXDLK7 Modem.

Also tried to restore EFS and still problem remains.

I didn't even pull out the Micro Sim so there's no reason it would scratch or be damaged . ( if it was the condition the phone wouldn't let me to register on the network)

notes :

* I have a full backup of my EFS folder and img on my desktop and device.

* I am in a location which the my network works well for few other devices in my house

[MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION]

someone please help
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
That would be strange my friend. As per my testing and snapshots I was able to change to any modem I like.

Did you perform full wipe?

Anyway, down to your issue, restore your older nandroid. And reboot. Copy the efs backup folder content to /efs. And reboot.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shay2911:
I restored my older Nand .

with root explorer I restored the folder and reboot

the issue remains :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Unlucky you. Try to flash stock rom thru odin. Root again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shay2911:
I had stock DMC3 rom on my pc, flashed it.

at first the issue was still exist so I went into recovery and did a full wipe.

after reboot the problem still exist :\

any other fix ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] claude96:
[MENTION=4307596]shay2911[/MENTION] : did you backup your efs with philiz recovery ?, if so let me know and I'll tel you how to fix it.

Also try to flash modem from link first ( on Wesamothman rom not on older roms ), see if it works for you, link : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42802840
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
What I mean by stock is that you need to find a stick un rooted firmware that is partioned as PIT files. This is the only factory image that brings your phone back alive. The image that Samsung support center uses.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shay2911:
so I'll flash a Pit file with 4 diffrent files. it's DLJ2 . will it be enough ?

[MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
It should be enough mate. This would be factory image.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
[MENTION=4307596]shay2911[/MENTION]

It would be great if you can share the download link of this rescue firmware?

Can you share the link please?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shay2911:
after hour of trying..

I would be happy for advice

can't flash the factory image I have on my pc .

tried Factory Reset again

after that

I flashed Rom based DME6 hoping I will have service again .

Current Status : Problem exist , now with custom odexed rom based DME6 and modem is DME4 .

found a rescue software :)

just finished flashing Thunder 1.1, IMEI still intact, call/sms functions normal, TW looks great, feels very smooth, overall very nice

Thanx a lot wesamothman, kudos to you
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shay2911:
unfortunately I cannot solve my problem .

I can register to my cellular network but the phone is on Emergency call only \ no Internet Connection . ( even when I have the correct APN)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Glad you flashed it successfully mate. Enjoy :D:thumbup:

Hmmm. You need to contact Dr.Ketan as he could solve it for you at this stage.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shay2911:
finally I managed to fix my phone ( alone :) )

guess my IMEI that was written at a repair shop last week wasn't well .

earlier all the restores I tried was restores of the IMEI after the IMEI rewrite.

I had an Idea to restore my IMEI from old backups .

After I restored my IMEI from back from 4-6 months ago , everything was working again :)

thank you for your incredible help [MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Wow... Great man. I am so happy for you. :D:thumbup:

[MENTION=4307596]shay2911[/MENTION] : happy you finally did, but I quoted my early post, because if you've replied to it I could have saved you two days.

[MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION] : steps on how to go back or get it working again are :

Note : I was on Omega-17 now I'm on Omega-15, all is working.

PS : I went back to Omega-15, and forth to Omega-17 more than once to make sure it works, And It's Working.

Steps :

1- Must have an old image backup of your IMEI on the root of your sd card ( efs.img )

2- go to recovery, make a factory reset ( wipe every thing )

3- do a nand_restore of an older backup ( any older rom version )

4- don't reboot, restore your efs.img backup over.

5- reboot, go to menu/settings/info/status and check your IMEI , if it's there !, you're good, but if not , it's 490....00 , no problems, follow next step.

6- download attached app, go here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269318, go to restore step, follow it to the letter, reboot, and hopefully you are good to go.

7- to make sure, do step 5 again, hope this helps.

8- give [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] a thanks hit button ( just a thought )

PS : Always keep a good nand_backup copy of a rom you think it's best working for you on your laptop or pc just in case.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shay2911:
[MENTION=2438295]claude96[/MENTION] : I sorry I didn't see your earlier response . I could save me some time , I even could solve it earlier if I would suspect from the start in the newly written IMEI from the Repair Shop ( which was Identical to my original IMEI so I didn't suspect at first) . once I started to suspect their IMEI I basically did similar steps to the ones you provided on the last post on my own on a stock rooted rom and changed the rom successfully

thank you for your help mate and for posting a solution for others .

[MENTION=5145314]Cruzfire[/MENTION] : the app is to backup & restore your efs.img to your sd card , it's the one used in [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] thread here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269318.

How to backup your efs.img with Philiz recovery :

PS : TWRP recovery has the ability to do a nand_backup of your rom with efs.img included, but with Philiz recovery it has to be done solo, ( btw. I use philiz recovery, so it's up to you. )

1- reboot recovery, go to philiz settings, choose Custom Backup and Restore

2- choose Custom Backup Job, un-check all, know tick ( check ) Backup efs

3- know press Start Custom Job

4- Press internal or external sdcard ( external sd card would be best, up to you ), wait for it and you're good.

5- for the restore of efs.img before reboot, just choose custom restore job in step 2, hope this helps.

PPS : For the backup & restore of efs.img to your pc or laptop, you can also use attached zip, how to :

1- extract to your pc, desktop ( just to make it easy )

2- open folder, connect your phone via usb cable.

3- double click Backup_EFS.bat for backup ( wait, and you should have an efs.img file in the folder )

4- same to restore, but use Restore_EFS.bat for it, hope this helps.

I am relaxed mate. Don't worry.

Ok. First thing first. Are you on stock or simplistic framework?

Either way, it seems you have bad flash.

I suggest you nandroid first and boot into recovery.

Fix permissions and check..

If you still face issues, flash the rom again no wipe. But first make sure you check md5.

Keep me posted. I am glad to help :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vuralemre:
i am on stock, so i use thunder roar. i has not an aroma, or simplistic installing option.. i did not install anything later.

actually, i ve good flash..

well, ok, nandroid, then fix perm

if not, flash again no wipe.

see you, mate.

so, my phone's network is come back with your instructions. and only your rom has made it.

now, i wanna change rom. but, i am afraid of the modem, IMEI, or network.

which rom can i install after thunder roar? and what do i need before installing another rom?

i have tried to get the network back for 3 days. so i am afraid of.

Great bit I can't see your baseband version. What is it?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vuralemre:
For network we all apply a patck called arıza. In Turkey we install the roms like this. After rom, apply the patch and network comes back.

"Ana bant sürümü" means baseband

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Aha. I see. Just to make sure that your network is gsm not cdma. Correct? Meaning your device is n7100.

It is great you have your network back.

So now to answer your question that you might want to install different Roms :

1. Nandroid.

2. Download the rom you want to flash.

3. Full wipe from recovery

4. Flash the rom

5. Reboot.

Note: share with me this patch I want to check it out plz.

ohh, mate, this is a normally rom installation.

i ask you for not lose the network..

for example efs backup.

and, which rom can i install after thunder roar?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
You can install any rom you like but first make sure that you nandroid and take efs backup.

Then you can flash any rom you like as long as it is based on XXDME6 or XXDMF2.

Try and i am sure you will be back to thunder-ROAR for stability and super performance :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vuralemre:
ok xxdme6 or ccdmf2 roms are for me.

actually, i like this rom. but it looks stock and i have some problems.

additionally this is the best rom according to performance. rock stable is this.

no restart never error. only once System UI stopped while editing screen capture. doesnt matter.

or i like clean roms like this.

thx for support, i will be connected..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I can give nice theme for you if you want. Just pm me and I will send you something really nice.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I wish I can. I don't know the value mate.

The rom has tweakbox integrated already. But you can try any mod if you like.

Simplistic has its own modded launcher. Cannot work with 10x6

You yet can install simplistic and flash launcher changer tool after that. Choose 10x6.

This way you will have it but you will loose some simplistic launcher mods meant to work by simplistic control.

I´ve already tryed to go to Probam again, and Still no Imei/BB.

I am not sure if this works but you can try this:

Extract your gz backup and find nv_data.bin and its md5

Copy them to /efs replacing the existing one. Reboot.

I´ve done this now. Didn´t functioned.

Until now . The only way to make the phone work again is to DELETE efs folder. RESTART, copy the efs from backup, and restart.

[MENTION=4857721]moraize[/MENTION] : try this method from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332913

If you have flashed ME6 or MF2 based rom. - Your EFS has been modified, No changing Modems(Only XXDME4 or DXDMF1) Backup EFS anyway.

If you aren't getting signal - flash this modem (DME4) or this one (DMF1)

If you made a EFS backup prior to flashing ME6 or MF2 based rom then downgrade to a non ME6 or MF2 ROM then change modem. After reboot you won't have imei. Now restore your EFS.

Even if you do not have a previous EFS backup then try the same procedure, but don't change modem. If you get signal, then you were lucky(happens in case you flashed a custom rom or didn't flash the latest kernel).

If you don't get signal then you could try this-

1)Copy your EFS folder to a safe location.

2)Delete the EFS folder. It will way can't but don't worry.

3)Reboot. You might have factory mode (yellow colour text on screen) and no lockscreen.

4)Copy the backed up EFS folder back. (Replace All)

5)Reboot.

If you can't get rid of factory mode(yellow text overlay) even after recovering imei, try this-

Enter all the commands into terminal emulator one by one and hit enter after everyone. Don't forget to give SuperUser permissions to it.

Code:

su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

Thanks for the help man !!!

At this moment, My phone IS working , I did all this procedures about deleting efs / rebooting/ copying efs backupa folder to efs folder /reboot.

At this point my phone ALWAYS functions. The problems happens when I RESTART the phone AFTER that, understand ??

So I Assume that EFS folder is ok, My Imei now is ok, All the functions of the Note 2 are ok, but for some reason, If I restart it I Get the 0049...IMEI...

So I appreciated your PS ... I Thinks it´s a good alternative for my problem ...

Remember , I´m Already on DME6 with EM4 modem, it CAN read efs, but only the first time, reboot the phone, No Valid IMEI any longer...

I MUST have something to do...

I tryed to recover the EFS with a Software called SGII_Repair. I generated a Backup from efs with it. Got My original efs backup made by omega, renamed it to the same name SGII created, and replaced, Made a Restore that was successfull. Restarted and CRAZY IMEI again...

On problem I have is that on these new modems I cant have the possibility to enter on Engeneering mode, at this moment I could REWRIGHT My IMEI. But nothing happens When I put on dialer the code to enter the menu :(

I Won´t Give up...

:)

Thanks for all the help here Guys...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] moraize:
So, it DIDN´t function ( CHOWN 1001:radio /efs/nv_data.bin)

Before doing that I checked the content of efs folder and nv_data.bin was ALREAD radio:radio.

Maybe another permission to other file ??

Could anyone check efs folders content with the command ls -la on an Terminal emulator ?

thanks people.. I Will keep trying, at least I´m learning A LOT with this problem :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] claude96:
did you try it over an older rom version ?, also better yet : do you have an old efs.img backup !, also did you try this over a full wipe !, btw do you have an old nand_backup ?

Seems that After installing LAtest firmware, Kernell Changes EFS files and ONLY new modems can read it, so I thing I cannot go back to the older version.

No I dont have an EFS from the older rom :(

Never made nand_backup...

Never was necessary :)
