hey guys ,

I got a note2 gt-n7100 , from romania , everything worked just fine , until the 4.3 OTA update. Now , the phone app got some problems , when i;m calling or get called by someone , the mic/receiver just wont work neither speaker or handsfree . The strange thing is that when i'm testing the receiver in *#0*# every test is ok . Skype is working aswell , s voice gets my voice commands ... music app works just fine ... everything but "in-call" .

What i've been trying :

- Custom recovery + root + 3 custom roms (not working)

- Get back to stock 4.3

- Here i faced a problem : i've used 4 firmwares from different regions, from sammobile , samsung-updates.com and NONE worked . (used odin 3.04) untill i used a Orange Romania firmware (4.3) . The unroot was successful , but the mic/receiver during in-call still wont work.

- I also tried different firmwares 4.1.2 , still no chance to flash in odin .

- Last try : tried to flash a stock orange romania , 4.1.2 , and same error in Odin :

Anyone faced this problem ? Thanks so much

LE:

- I flashed an 4.1.1 orange romania firmware that WORKED on odin , but unfortunately , my imei got changed , so "not registered to network" issue appeared . I tried to root the phone , install busybox and arizapatch , patched , but nothing happend .

- So i flashed 4.3 orange romania firmware again (at least the phone works) ... only sending messages .

- I'm gonna try to flash 4.1.1 again , flash custom recovery and install another modem , hope it will work.

LE:

- Flashed again 4.1.1 orange romania N7100XXALIJ_N7100OROALI9_ORO - again , not registered to network .

- Installed a new modem , and WORKED , my imei was back

- But the real problem , still exists . Still not able to make , receive calls ...

- last thing : i've removed in parts the phone , unplugged and plugged in everything , still nothing happened ...

Really now , no one familiar to this problem ?

- Later edit : rooted when in 4.1.1 , installed CriskeloRom-NoteII-V18_MG1_MD5-8C3690BD0B01B7368C9181E03B746BD4 ... 4.1.2 , with mg1 modem . Still nothing ...

So i understand that is something wrong with my modem / radio ... ok , but what should i do ? I'm using my phone as a tablet ...

LE:

- flashed stock 4.3 , rooted , installed Android revolution HD , custom 4.1.2 and flashed ALL modems found on xda forums for 4.1.2 , and none worked ...

- flashed stock 4.1.1 , rooted , installed triangle away , reset flash counter , and flashed like a NEW phone on 4.3 official . Still nothing ...
