[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] swaroop_p1988:
I was using BMK3 and got updated to poison firmware BNB2 and all went crap.

I have tried many official and unofficial firmwares. Even the ones which were working fine like BMK3 and AMF7 were also hanging and lagging. I've used only INU and INS firmwares.

Are there any firmware of any region which workis flawless and without any hangs??

Please help me...

I have installed the most recent firmware Russian BNA4 and looks smooth and works fine.

Have to use for a week and check.

Sometime I get the negative effect when unlocking, but it becomes normal if i lock and unlock again.. So manageable when compared to BNB2 poison firmware..

Of course, I noticed the SIM card was no longer being recognized upon installing Slim

In the past GT-N700 ROMs for T0LTE have worked fine. I was running BeanStalk 4.4.2 W0etweaks with working phone and sim card. The issue occured when installing.

As if my phone had not detected a SIM card, phone number, IMIE SV, and IMIE show up as "uknown".

I am not too sure how to proceed? Ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I've had similar issues with some versions of TWRP where flashing an Omni 4.4 nightly would leave me with no signal and an unknown IMEI. Flashing the very same ROM with CWM would work. (Odd, I know.)

FWIW I just flashed the latest t0lte Omni nightly with TWRP t0lte 2.7.0.0 earlier today and everything's been fine.

Another thing to look into is SELinux and making sure it is set to permissive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForgottenSolstace:
Tried with CWM 6.0.3 with no luck. Tried with Phiz Touch 6.07.9-t0lte, and no luck as well. I will try TWRP t0ltecan 2.7.0 shortly. Which version of CWM did you get it to work with?

Tried setting SELinux to permissive via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux, but it made no difference. Am I supposed to do something after I set it to permissive?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForgottenSolstace:
TWRP 2.6.0 Will Not Work

I was not able to install TWRP t0ltecan 2.7.0, but I was able to install TWRP t0lte 2.6.0. And the installation, along with any other 4.4 ROM fails with the following error:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external...
Error flashing zip 'external_sdcard/omni-4.4.2..

I will try other ROMs with CWM 6.0.3 and Philz TouchWiz. Hopefully, I will figure something out...

Fixed My Phone!

Indeed, I had to flash my modem. For users like me, of the T889V, download the modem from http://androtransfer.com/?developer=cmenard&folder=SGH-T889 and flash the file using the recovery of your choice (I used TeamWin 2.7.0). Note that you will need to install openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-t0lte.zip (and not the can version openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-t0ltecan.zip, as that version will not install). You can flash your modem at any time, and it will not affect your current ROM. You don't need to clear dalvik cache, cache, or do a factory reset; just flash the modem file.

This problem occurs because you try to install a ROM that's not for your phone. So in my case, OmniRom included a modem not for my version (international). Because the modem is normally not included in ROM packages, it doesn't matter which ROM you install. To get back to a working state, you need to flash your original modem.

Hopefully this helps someone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForgottenSolstace:
Uhh... not really

Well, turns out I was wrong. I'm back at where I started. Somehow, after rebooting once with the new ROM, I started getting the exact same problem with no service and unknown IME.

Tried flashing the modem with no luck.

Is there a reason why this would only work for the first time? Is it possible that I installed an app that caused this problem?

Will update if I find any solutions...

Also, ran into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pai4BH3AWq8 but on Stock, there was no option 6 or way to see FTM.

On custom 4.4 roms, you get the "Mobile Network not Available" when trying to fix null IMEI (update: IMEI shows up as null/null).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForgottenSolstace:
The Modem Likely Burned

After a long week of research, I believe I determined the cause of the issue: when I flashed the Slim Rom, it burned out my modem on my motherboard, as the ROM was not built for my Note variant (T889v). I spoke to a repair technician in my local area, and he was quite certain that my modem had been damaged (likely burned) from the unsupported ROM installation. He was very familiar with such a scenario. It means you have to replace your phone if you want to be able to use your SIM card, make calls, use data, etc..

The modem consists of small transistors (radio, and other communication parts). Even if you take apart your phone, you won't be able to see burn marks. The only way to be *somewhat* sure this is the case is to try recovering your EFS partition to an earlier point when your phone was working. Luckily for me, I had this. I also had a modem backup. Both failed. If all of this, and flashing stock fail, you've got a hardware issue.

This means you're out of luck if you want to send your phone in for repair; Samsung will know from that (corrupt) data in the modem that you broke your phone from flashing a custom ROM.

So it doesn't matter if you triangle away or flash stock

-- you're out of luck if you have a warranty. You will be charged the retail value of your phone + shipping, so you're probably better off selling your phone for parts.

It's a sad day for me, but a dawn for new days where I will make SURE that my phone's model is supported.

Let this be a cautionary tale for you as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
why would they know? flashing the stock upgrade flashes a modem as well. could just as easy be a bad upgrade. if you don't tell them they wont know

also what slimrom did you download that did this? sorry I just reread the OP. Neither of the roms you mentioned would do that to your phone. I have flashed many roms from both of those devices and never had an issue.

flash the appropriate rom in recovery and tell if it works

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2554226
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForgottenSolstace:
I doubt it was a bad upgrade, as I've tried everything possible to fix my phone. Recovering EFS partition, flashing stock with Kies, recovering modem, flashing the original ROM that worked earlier... nothing fixed it.

The problem occurred immediately after installing Slim. Then, any rom I installed after that did not solve my problem.

Pretty sure it's a hardware problem.

Well as the title suggests, im curious if any US carrier has opened preorders yet or if anyone has even heard when they might. Ive read that in the UK they will begin on the 28th. Im with AT&T and they have yet to announce anything in regards to availability or preorders.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorMD:
The whole secrecy thing about the launch date is baffling given how quick they were last year on the GN3 to announce the dates and get things rolling. Still I look forward to the GS5 and I suspect it will be LAG FREE. Just not sure if its AT&T or Verizon for me at this time.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karmuh:
It is pretty frustrating that a price hasn't been announced nor a pre-order date. I know those are just minor things, but it just makes no sense to me why they are keeping quiet about it. I just want the peace of mind that I preordered it and don't have to worry about anything.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudraker:
Given the new leaked info about the new HTC One, i may end up passing on the S5. Not knowing when it will be released or even pricing, and the idea that the One may go on sale immediately following its launch is tempting if its true.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorMD:
It just typical US carrier crap, they drag everything out so you buy whats available today and they can clear out the GS4 stock they have. I just want the 32GB on launch day.

Not yet -- It's launching April 11th, but still no word on price or when preorders will be available.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepen915:
it's the worst.. and S4 stock? these carriers are putting out promotions for the S3! like what idiots would buy an S3 on Contract in 2014 with the S5 launching in 3 weeks? These carriers take advantage of non techie customers.. It really pisses me off. They should have given us a pre-order date or pricing at least. I may hate Apple, but one thing they do right is the iPhone launches. They announce a phone, then put it out within 10 days at all carriers without any delay.

Starting from different versions of Odin and ending on reinstalling samsung drivers/kies. Can anyone help me with that? Seriously,this is the first time I can't solve a problem.

I was on Cm9.1 . Then I installed cm11 RC1. I did the following steps 1.Format data/factory restet 2.wipe cache partition 3.wipe delvik cache 3.intall zip from sd card and install package. Then reboot but i stuck at htc logo. I did it for 3 -4 times but nothing changed.Then i tried to revert back to my privious rom with the same process but the problem exist. I cann't boot my phone..

reply soon
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] YedaAnna:
your stuck in boot loop .. possible reasons is 1. the no of partitions on ur SD card[it was the issue with me atleast]. i dont know how u have partitioned your card but ideally format your card create a ext4 partition of around 1gb keep the rest a fat32. copy the rom and gapps provided in ur fat32 partition. reboot into recovery , wipe dalvik cache n factory settings n install the rom n reboot . hopefully it should work.

another source of problems is your recovery . if problems persist update your recovery to the latest version TWRP 2.6.3 is good enough n then try again.

hope it helps

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
the problem was that your partition was not being detected properly due to which it was stuck.. the way you installed cm 9 you can install cm 11..

plus as you created only one partition and new table was made your recovery was able to detect it..:good:

can i install cm 11 without making any partition in my sd card. if so then explain it please. I want to install it on my pico but i have 4GB class4 sd card.

Yup buddy you can.. I think you are going to install RC1..

Just flash the ROM.. Let it boot..

Setup your phone.. Then flash the gapps .. There you go u have installed Cm11.. :sly:

Go to mounts and storage format everything except your SD card .. Flash the ROM..

If you have multiple ext partition delete the partitions or keep only one partition.. First boot takes time so don't worry..

Thank you very much for your help. Now the problem seem to be solve but not all. I did hard reset 3 times after you guy told me and the third is succesful. Then I installed all the program I need again, some of them need soft reset before installation and then I found that maybe the problem is because of the soft rest. Almost everytimes I performe soft reset, it end up at the screen of windows mobile again and stuck at that position then I have to hard reset again.

I searched through internet for this problem, I found that some one also cannot boot their o2 but all of them stuck at the o2 splash water screen, not at windows mobile screen like me. And one of them gave a hint that may be because when I performed soft reset I press the button to quick and I should hold on for two or three seconds but his pda is o2mini and mine is o2 neo, so I'm not sure that it is the same reason or not.

Do you think is that because this o2 neo of my has a problem or is it normal thing that could happen?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] aimmipoko:
Hallo Guy, I think I found the problem. I think the problem because I installed spb pocket plus version 3.0.1 which is the old version to my neo and this cause a problem. I search through the internet again and found another one who have the same problem like me. Actually before I bought this o2 neo, I used HP rx3715 before. my rx3715 use windows mobiles 2003SE so I didn't have the same problem with my old pda. Unfortunately,because I changed to the new one, so I cannot utilize many programs, I used to utilize in my rx3715, in my neo :( For example this spb pocket plus version 3.0.1 and agenda fusion version 6. anyway thx for your help!!! 8)

T999 JB 4.3 update - UVUENC2 Firmware

Samsung And T-Mobile have released the next update UVUENC2 for SGH-T999.

EDIT - @mrRobinson has a Root66 version of UVUENC2. That version is KNOX Free. So my recommendation is to visit his thread and using that firmware instead.

WARNING - The following steps are only for those who had accepted the previous 4.3 Update UVUEMJC or flashed it from Root66 thread.

Essentially with the newer updates to the Odin, version 3.09 makes the process pretty easy to those who are familiar. This does work even if you have custom Rom and Custom Recovery. Both of which will be destructively replaced by the new firmware. So take a Nandroid!!! Those with Stock firmware UVUEMJC, please take a Titanium Backup of all the essential stuff to external SD. You have been warned.

1. Obtain the Stock update UVUENC2 from SamMobile Link.

2. Download the CF-AutoRoot zip file for D2TMO by @Chainfire.

3. Obtain Odin 3.09 from here. Do not run Odin.

4. Take a backup of important stuff and put the phone in Download Mode.

5. Connect the phone to the PC and let the drivers install if not installed already.

6. Execute Odin as System Admin and then choose the Stock Firmware as AP (AKA PDA in prior versions).

7. Make sure F. Reset Time Option is Checked but Auto Reboot option is unchecked.

8. Complete the Odin flash process.

9 Once that's successful, make sure the phone is still in Download mode.

10. Again Click AP (AKA PDA) and choose the CF-AutoRoot zip previously downloaded.

11. Make sure F. Reset Time Option is Checked but Auto Reboot option is unchecked.

12. Complete the Odin Flash process.

13. When it is successful, Disconncect the phone and pull the Battery. Boot the phone to Stock Recovery and wipe Cache as well as Dalvik if there's an option for Dalvik. (My Phone does not have stock so don't remember)

14. Let the phone boot normally and enjoy Rooted Stock update. Profit !

You can use Root Checker App from Play store to confirm Root. If for some reason it failed, update the binaries of the Super user app. Upon launching that app, it may prompt for the same.
