Wind T889V Stock Image

I am willing to provide a full stock image for Wind Galaxy Note 2 T889V users. Just need to figure out how to extract the stock image from my phone. Requesting developer assistance.
Thanks.

Thank you so much. I hope you can upload one. Not sure, but does anyone know if you can grab a .pit file from a phone also?

I'll let you guys know when the files are ready.

I'm not exactly sure if this works with our phone. to grab .pit files.

The Heimdall method might work, the nvflash won't as its strictly a Tegra-based affair.

What's different from, say, the US T-Mobile version?

not exactly sure. Some people including myself cannot use the t889v modem on our t889v's without it going into bootloop. I'm currently able to start my phone using a t889 modem, but I'm stuck to edge:2 network. I'm hoping to get a .pit file so I can re-partition with stock t889v rom hopefully fixing the problem.

Guys, One of my friends from SamMobile sent me a stock rom.
Here's the download link:

Tell me how it goes (GLW stands for Globalive Wireless(parent company of Wind)/Wind).

Carrier specific devices -- what's safe to flash?

Development seems fragmented between all the different carriers.. even with a deodexed stock rooted rom are things "designed" for other carriers not compatible with my Sprint device?
Is it a matter of n7100 vs n7105? Or gsm/lte?

You will probably brick your device flashing another carrier ROM. I say probably as I know of no one willing to experiment on our rather expensive device.

There are some "ports" that have been done between carriers. Know your carrier and flash only roms designed for or ported to that carrier.

All will run on sprint's variant. The radios may be compatible with the ROM with a few mods here and there. You can flash other stock ROMs. Just flash sprint's kernel with another carriers. You'll see a mostly functioning ROM. Only issues are radio related.

I'd proceed here with caution. I've heard of borked boot/kernel image or worse hboot damage requiring either replacement or j tag service. YMMV.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the info. It sounds like it's only a matter of radio compatibility when flashing ROMs. If I flash stock sprint radios and a kernel made specifically for the L900 (stock or otherwise) I should be okay based on what I see here.
So it's only ROMs that are in question here? If there's a .zip mod for status bar, camera, gallery, etc, I shouldn't need to worry about what model it's for? Including n7105 international variant .zips -- I see no reason why that shouldn't work. These are all essentially the same device sans connectivity.
I don't mind flashing sketchy things, been doing that for years and haven't had a hard brick yet -- it's actually hard to do. I just want to know what the facts are about what is known to work or not work.

NOT TRUE AT ALL...........if you flash an international variant rom, while you may get it to boot (doubtful), you will not have service and your IMEI/Baseband will be gone d/t the fact that the partitions are slightly different between the variants. the only fix for this is flashing a stock tar that will re-write your partitions and restore to stock. and it simply isnt as simple as just changing the partitions and kernel either.
so no, DO NOT FLASH other carrier variant roms to the Sprint variant

I flashed a att rom and a tmo theme to mine with success.and by success I mean didnt brick. Now as far as booting thats a diff story. The tmo theme booted with problems and the att rom just bootlooped. But as far as I know the partitions layout is the same(not counting the intl'. I havent looked yet) so i think ur safe to experiment with the average rom. I would check to make sure theres no radio or bootloader and you should be fine.

Open the zip and be sure the only things you see are boot.img, META-INF, and system. If so, flash and reboot. If it bootloops, plug in and use adb to run a logcat to see why it won't boot and attempt fix it. A kernel is not enough to brick you unless it gets flashed over the wrong partition. Which I don't believe is a concern here since the partitions are the same across all the note ii's.

Do you have to switch boot.img or no
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

The CSC data needs to be replaced. The kernel should be fine. Some of the etc files should probably be replaced. The build.prop needs to be edited for Sprint/cdma.
Check the install script and compare it to sprints to make sure there arent any partitions being formatted differently. I have used a few different at&t roms on mine by doing the above.

i was referring to the international versions as was specifically stated in the post. even if you change the boot.img to the proper one it will not flash properly to the phone because the partitions are different on the INT version.
the US variants all have the same partitions and will flash properly with the carrier specific kernel minus a few bugs here and there. and doing what shiftr182 said will usually get rid of any other bugs.

[FOR DEVS] AT&T SGS4 SGH-I337 PIT file

This is for development purposes only and should not be used without knowing exactly what you are doing. I take no responsibility for your phone impregnating your wife or your mother by you using this.
Seems people want this - but no one has posted.
If you need a return the return to stock ODIN files you can visit AdamOutler's thread.
I downloaded this file directly from a stock, un-rooted, bootloader-locked AT&T SGH-I337 SGS4 utilizing Heimdall 1.4. Use at your own risk.
NOTE: You MUST remove the .txt extension from the filename. This is the actual PIT downloaded via Heimdall but in order to upload as an attachment to XDA I had to add the .txt extension.
ANOTHER NOTE: there is a possibility this will not work for you due to potential signing issues. YMMV

Ok, thank you. If it is like other phones have been, using the 16GB Pit file one a 32GB phone will at best get you a 16GB internal memory phone that started out 32GB...unless they partition internal memory different now.

Hello,
Thank you for posting this file.
I recently got myself in a jam by flashing a galaxy s3 rom to my s4.
I am looking for a pit file to replace the stock partitions, but your file got blocked by my stock recovery.
Secure File Check: PIT
Followed by an Odin Fail.
When you were using Heimdall, was it able to push the file past that download mode secure check?
Thank you for your time.

Wont let me change it to a pit file. There is no way to take out the txt.

Looks like this isn't working for everyone. Closing the thread

Flashing t mobile stock rom on att note 2

I am going to switch my service from att to t mobile. Can I odin, a t mobile stock Rom on the att phone? I want to have wifi calling on it. I believe all the hardware is the same and it should work. I just want to make sure. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I did the opposite. I put a T-Mobile note 2 onto the AT&T network. I asked if I could put an AT&T rom in the T-Mobile phone and I was told it "could" cause compatibility issues. I went ahead and put the matching T-Mobile software in the phone.
Of course you should see what the more experienced folks have to say. I have been curious myself. I've been thinking about trying an AT&T rom in the phone. They did say the hardware is pretty much the same, but that it could cause issues with the factory installed software that remains even after a rom install.
Hopefully we hear from someone soon.

I found the post. It was for the SGS III I was playing with, my wife has it now. Hope this helps.
Check this post.

I know I can flash t mobile roms via cwm or twrp. But I want to use odin to change modem and everything. Basically make it a stock t mobile phone. It is for my wife, and stock is fine.

I have an AT&T Note 2 running T-Mobile stock rom.
You can't flash the T-Mobile radio to the AT&T phone but, mine is working every well with this setup.

Did you flash via recovery? Or Odin?

I know this is an old thread, but how do you do this? I've got an AT&T phone that I would like to load the stock T-Mobile build on. I've got a .md5 file for ODIN. Is it as simple as untar-ing the file, deleting the modem image, then retar-ing it and generating the .md5 file?
An additional complication is that I've enabled all of the radios using a Qualcomm utility.

I need to look and see if I can remember the files to remove. I know I did a trial and error thing and I can't seem to find my saved stock ROM. I'll keep looking for it though.

I assume it was the modem file, but I don't know for sure. The bigger question I have is how to re-create the ODIN file. I untar-ed a stock T-Mobile image from this thread. I deleted the modem.bin file, and tried to retar it according to the instructions here. I tried flashing it, but it's been "flashing" the boot image for over an hour. I'm about to reboot it, and try something else. Maybe tar-ing up each individual image, and flashing them one at a time? I don't understand why ODIN won't let me flash a .img or .bin file, but it'll allow a .tar that contains a .img or .bin? I'm hoping I haven't bricked it!

What happened with the process? I can't seem to find my old file(s) that I flashed, must have deleted it since I haven't had that phone in quite some time.
What I did was, I started to delete files within the ROM like modem, tz, hidden etc. until it fully booted.
Sorry I couldn't be more useful about this. I should have put it in my response thread on how I did flashing process.

[Q] Straight Talk (Tracfone) Sprint Galaxy S3 SCH-S960L flashed wrong modem

I use the Sprint SlimBean ROM and I had no issues with it on my SCH-S960L. I had no issues with my mobile connection except for the fact that it it took some time to connect to mobile data services or even required a restart or Airplane mode toggled. This along with it sometimes did not switch between 3G and LTE when it should. Because of this I attempted to flash a newer Sprint Galaxy S3 modem. This completely disestablished any connection to services. It has 0 bars and cannot make calls, send texts, or use data. I have tried to reflash the ROM but of course, it did not help at all.
Now in the light of hope, I made a backup of the efs and firmware folders before flashing. I'm not sure how I can fix my issue with this but it was suggested to do so before flashing.
My baseband version was S960LWYAMD6. While I could reflash the old modem, (with help) I would prefer a better modem. (if there are any)
Any help is appreciated.
With best regards,
SirBenjamin

Well this just may be your day. Apparently chxnugs just posted the Modem for your particular device HERE. I would update PRL / Profile first just to see if that will help. Also have you tried ##72786# ?

i know this is sprint galaxy s3 section, but the straight talk s3 is basically the same phone and there is no section for it.
if you own this particular model, then you would know that its pure hell trying to find ANY files. this is the stock MD6 modem.bin ripped from my phone. ive seen people ask for this modem because they flashed the MD4 modem in hopes of getting their MSL and/or for the benefits of being able to use the 16-digit password. (which reminds me.. i have read of ways to port the 16-digit password from a .dll file in the phone? i have done loads of searching, but the password is NO WHERE to be found) and needed the stock modem. so for anyone that needs it here it is.
hopefully us ST S3 users will eventually gather up all the odin files to completely restore our phones when needed

I tried to flash the file chxnugs provided. I used both Mobile Odin and replaced the modem file in another flashable ZIP. Neither of them worked and I still get 0 bars/unknown baseband.
Honestly I have no idea what to do to fix this but it needs to work.
Again I say, all help is appreciated.

Proby, I tried to do the other things you suggested. I can't update the PRL/Profile since I'm on a custom ROM. That is unless there is another way. I did not understand what you meant with the number you mentioned. If you wanted me to call that it did nothing.
As for chx, unfortunately it still did not fix it. This quick little modem update is turning into a nightmare. Not only that, but no sound plays, the microphone does not work, and DSP Manager crashes whenever I try to play media.
I really appreciate both of your support though.

Yay! I used Mobile Odin Pro and flashed a file from another thread. It may have been the file or using Mobile Odin Pro since it downloaded the correct driver. I appreciate all of your help, though.
