SGH-T889V ( Canadian Wind Mobile version) NEED HELP PLEASE - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello Forum,
I've had the pleasure to brick my 889v and had it restored with a T-Mobile ROM. Long story short, i've lost my IMEI number.
I've tried reflashing the stock(Tmobile) rom but no luck.
I've tried the modem fix but still nothing. The signal bars are there but they eventually dissapear saying the phone is not registered on the network and for good reason since there is no IMEI.
Can someone PLEASE post the full T889v rom as i know there are a few users who have it?
I've tried msg'ing a couple of people with no luck.
I'm really stuck and would appreciate some help please.

This worked for me:
First you need to download the stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957209
Then make sure you wipe data then flash the ROM. Then download the flashable Modem.bin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957380 then flash in CWM like you flash the stock rom.
Hope this helps!

haha.. Shawn, i didn't realize this was you!! Also sent ya a PM! let me know how it goes mate!
Addis

LOL yeah it's still me crying about this.
Only thing i can think of now is that all these roms and fixes are for the t889 and not specifically for the t889v.
The model number in the phone shows up as a T889 when it's actually the T889v. This all happened when i got over exicted and flashed the t-mobile rom
I'm so stressed out about this!! I'm having to use my wife's blackberry for now.... :X

Anyone?
Just need a full nandroid rom for the 889v.
Please someone help me before i go back to blackberry..

Shawn,
I am sorry to hear that you still have issues until now. I have the same model as you. I dont know how to back up my phone to what you need. Do you know how to do it? Where are you located? I am downtown Toronto by night and mississauaga by day. Let me know if you want to meet up live and help me do that for you.

Now isnt T889V same as T889 hardware wise? How was T889V got bricked by flashing T-mobile ROM?

The phone now has proper t889v rom restored. Problem was that imei went 0 and no data. The imei was re-injected qpst, but only edge 2 - no 3g or H+ data.
Any help or guidance would be a million bucks right now.
Thank you in advance.

I too am having the same problems with my Mobilicity Samsung Galaxy Note II...
I think like most newbies I tried to flash a custom rom on my brand New T889v and of course as luck would have it I ****ed it up... I think royally...
I've tried flashing back the stock rom through odin but I get stuck in a boot loop.. (every time it gets to the Samsung logo) and trust me I kept it on all day till it drained my battery just doing that....
No when I flash a custom rom, I get to boot up and but I can't register on the network... I just see a circle with a line through it we,here my signal bars should be. When I go to network setup it says I can't access network services as sim card is not present. (the sim card is in there...)
SOME ONE... PLEASE HELP ME...

Nandroid backup
I'm wondering whether sending a NANDROID backup of my device would expose my saved passwords from chrome, wifi passwords, and all kinds of aother goodies to the person who restores it?

[Q] SGH-i317 Stock ROM

Okay, I had a hell of a time trying to fix my almost bricked Note 2 and if it wasn't for my friend having an AT&T Note 2 I would still be screwed.
I made the mistake of trying to install a ROM without backing up my own with ClockWorkMod. But after about 10 hour of work and a friends 'still working' Note 2, I have a fresh backup that brings you back to stock AT&T Note 2 or SGH-i317, whatever. Is there anyway I can get this uploaded to help people that are as dumb as I was but do not have my resources?
Let me know anyone, I can at least send you the backup folder to add to your sd card.

please confirm if this is ur current baseband or not after using stock rom i317ucalj2
because i already have stock rom and just want to remove cwm recovery which i cant thats the reason i will be flashing.
If you are on stock ROM but rooted you can try and use SuperSU to unroot. It wont let me post a picture, but if you go to "SuperSU" and scroll over to settings
you can see the "Full unroot" just try that. It might work.

[Q] No Service - Insert SIM card. Does not recognize SIM after Root with custom ROM

Rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note ii (SGH-I317)
Installed custom ROM and now get no service.
Upon checking Settings -> Mobile Network
It says: INSERT SIM card Insert SIM card to access network services
About Devices has all the correct information except:
Baseband version says: UNKNOWN
How do I fix this?
Did my SIM card somehow and need to get a new SIM and call AT&T to reactivate another SIM?
My guess is that I would need stock ROM image to fix this but cannot find it.
I did find Stock Rooted I317UCALJ2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986556)
image but still no Service.
Any help would be appreciated as my phone is a BRICK now and useless.
thanks
i have the exact same problem and can't seem to find an answer...
restore stock rom and still nothing...
did you flash a ROM & Radio for the international Note II (N7100 or N7105)? check your phone for an IMEI number; if it's not there, then you'll have to fix that first. you aren't the first to have this problem and i've read other posts where users were able to correct the problem.
I like how no one responded for 2 months.
Worst case scenario flash stock and triangle away to 0 flash counter amd take it back. Lol. Say it stopped working.

Your comment makes a lot of sense... I'm running root on stock and didn't have a problem. I've recently installed CMW thru Odin which I'm pretty sure I did right but then...I installed a kernel to be able to overclock... could the kernel have mess up my radio? I'm not able to pull up my imei... Can you point me to the right directions in order to restore my stock Rogers kernel?

I have been here. Installed the CrashRom which was probably not meant for 1317s. Though I loved the ROM, my model number was displayed as 7100, IMEI was null and mobile network would display insert sim message.
If you watched the installation of the rom.. you would have noticed that at the end it rewrites your modem/radio files. Thankfully even after a wipe, the all important NV folder was there.
I was able to find the original AT&T rom at stockroms and also the original modem files for the 1317. I did a full wipe and installed this rom back..and thankfully the radio was back online. Didn't have to flash the modem. Now with a working phone, I wanna read well before I flash my rom again.
Hope this helps. Though I am a newbie.. If you need any further information.. feel free to send me a message.

If you look in the development section in the All in One forum link, there is a link to the stock rogers ROM and radio.
I don't know if you have done this but it hasn't been mentioned in the post so I thought I would mention it.
I had the same happen to me. The radio just quit. I had a circle with a slash through it. I Odin flashed the stock tar and no luck in fact it got worse and I had to get phone replaced. I have a ton of flashing experience and this was a first for me. I think like someone mentioned above it was a mix match ROM with some pieces from the international version although it was posted as an AT&T ROM. I still have to send it back but after seeing that someone above fixed theirs I am sending a PM

I know from past experience using ODIN for the Droid Charge, we had to pull the SIM before flashing. People were getting their SIMs fried sometimes. The remedy was to remove until the flash was complete. Avoid touching the contacts though.

I wanted to bump this as I am having the same issue. I tried using Odin to reinstate the stock rom and radio and still nothing.
So this happened to me and after I unrooted and factory reset I had no luck, called Att and got a new one. But I don't know why it stopped reading my sim, it. Worked in my iPhone 5. Strange

can u give any links to these forums, yes i install n7100 rom on my i317 and yes i don't have a imei.
Well my friend ...I've got to tell you up front ...that the likelihood of getting your device repaired on your own is remote at best...
You have damaged the device partitions ...and likely do not have a usable backup of the EFS folder..
The EFS contains the IMEI number used for restoration purposes...
I'm not going to tell you that a repair cannot be done..as a select few users were able to fix a bricked device...but I will suggest your best solution ...IMHO
Contact the good folks at :
mobiletechvideos.com
And let them know what you did..
They offer a complete restoration service to repair your device correctly ...and can likely do the job in about a week...
They are located in Texas, USA I believe ...and they have an excellent reputation for quality service...
Your choice of course...but if I were in your situation...I'd send the device to them in a second...
Time is money...at least for me...and although I could probably fix it...I don't have a RIFF BOX...or a JTAG ...
Others will post up with links to help you...and after you have a chance to look them over ...you can decide..
Very sorry for the damaged phone....g

No Service after flashing latest Jedi X

I have a t889 and a original sim card which was cut to microsim form. I had no trouble getting service. I rooted successfully and still had service. At this point I performed nandroid backup and efs backup and attempted to flash jedi x following all steps provided in the thread (wipe data, cache, format system, wipe dalvik, fix permissions). As soon as I did this I lost service...it has bars but no voice calls and no 4g. My IMEI still shows however. I ve tried everything from stock factory restore through ODIN to restoring efs, flashing stock radios/kernels restoring nandroid still cant get service, defintely need some step by step advice on how to get back my service. I feel like I followed all the appropriate steps to flash the room.

So did all of you flashed this rom and this happened to you?? Im confused.
I've been flashing phones since
<------
2007 and this note 2 I am terrified of flashing. every other day is a new thread just like this. Nobody knows why, nobody has a defacto solution. The only remotely close info I've read that works is to unroot and flash to stock. Even that is a gamble. If that does not work, consider it a loss. Sell it on eBay as a bad IMEI phone
Hey guys just fyi to let you know what I found with this issue. Just giving my input.
Well it looks like my imei is populating but my note 2 no longer gets service. Im probably going to warranty it so I can get service again I spent all of my weekend trying to fix. I think this issue may be related to something within the modem or radio being flash incorrectly and somehow corrupting the efs files. I searched forums about efs corruption and I think maybe it has something to do with a nv_data file missing? Not sure if that applies for sgn2 but I couldnt find or maybe I dont know WHERE to find it in root explorer. Maybe if we compare a working sgn2's efs file with a NON WORKING sgn2's efs file maybe that would help? I followed the steps in the t889 root guide step by step... and then as soon as I flashed Jedi 9 through cwm recovery BAAM...service was gone.
I tried reflashing, I tried reflashing stock modem\kernel and reverting back to stock via odin but no go.I did notice it was able to connect to tmobile for one to two sec because it would actually sync the time and date after turning on for the first time. But never again after that. My Imei and bars are showing ..but when I make a call it says "not registered on network" and no 4g either. I think this may be because the rom had included a different radio not sure which one defintely wasnt the canada ver. Flashing this rom somehow made my phone stop receiving service...Does restoring efs backup a guaranteed fix the lost imei/ service issues? Can flashing using earlier version of odin cause an issue? I used 1.84. Everything passed successfully however. Just throwing ideas to help. I definitely want to try to avoid the issue when get my note 2 back from repair.
I know that efs and modems are fixable but I believe there is additional steps needed to fix the imei... not sure if there has been a solution on that but im looking everywhere... found that you can pull your batter, write down your imei, us nv tool to create a nv file and flash it to the phone but not sure how it works with GNII... I personally havent had any issues so am not going to test with my device but for those with no service you could atleast try and report back for others... go to galaxynote2root website and find the videos on flashing tmo to att and vice versa, youll find the programs needed, drivers, etc and basic instructions to what im suggesting

Does the phone even register to the network? Have you perhaps tried a different sim? I know you will be limited as to the carrier but try a friends sim just to be sure. I'm sure you could even take the phone to the dealer and they will test a different sim in the phone.
Has your IMEI possibly changed somehow, maybe it is acting like conflicting IP addresses on a network.
In Kies there is an emergency firmware recovery, perhaps that could help. I know I am probably not much help but 1 cent worth of help is better then no cents.

+1. As a newbie I was able to flash anything on my moto defy / ME525 without worrying a bit of bricking it, but I could only eagerly wait OTA update on my T889V.
I've actually been experience serverely degraded service since I flashed MyRom Revolution v2 last month, and not matter what I flash since service is questionable. I'm on the latest Jedi -XX from the 6th, and my 4g/3g service is 90% not there anymore, and i will flip to edge sometime for roaming on AT&T even or jsut be without service altogether... I've flashed the lastest modem from the Jan 26th, no help. New rom, ... no help. I'm ready to have my phone exchanged as well. Any ideas ?
Some people were having issues with the January 26th update flash back to ll4 and see if that doesnt improce things... also seen a thread refering to band 2 issues with one response refering to ATT towers... did you by chance ever download a ported ATT rom with a modem part of the install by chance?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini SPH-L520 HELP!

I made an incredibly stupid mistake and didn't notice what the actual model number for my S4 Mini was. I used a guide to root it as if it were a GT-I9195 and now I've completely screwed it up. When it booted I couldn't connect to any type of network and the soft keys didn't work at all. I tried to install what I thought was the original firmware to the phone, but again didn't know I had the wrong model number. How do I restore my phone to its original state? I no longer care if it is rooted or not, I would just like to have a working cell phone again.

[Q] HELP, Note 2 ATT can not connect to network.

i have Note 2 ATT, i am having network connection problem. i can't connect to my ATT network connection . i get circle with line in middle.
i took my phone to ATT store and they tried changing the Sim card and even updating my phone to the latest update, but it did not work.
i tried downgrading my phone to stock Rom when i downgrade the phone. it seems to work fine for five minutes or so i even made a call after one call it started showing same circle with line in middle. i tried flashing all different Rom, i even tried re flashing MJ4 modem. nothing seems to work.
i research to find a solution but i didn't find any solution to this problem. right now i am on Sky Note Air 4.3.
please help me i appreciate for any help.
EDIT: i flash back to stock Rom 4.3 with rooted MK6 bootloader. just to see if it makes any different on my networking problem. And still have issue with not networking data.

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also make sure you have an APN set. @Bajanman has compiled a list of several AT&T APNs in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110
I had a similar issue and this post helped me.

Also check your SELinux setting.
Once I set mine to permissive all was well.

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

I'm still confused.....
Reading your first post, ATT flashed your phone to the latest update??? And changed the SIM? And that didn't work?
Why did you leave the store when your phone didn't work?
They told me they can't do nothing about it and the warranty was voided too.

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

Well you have nothing to lose at this point then.
I doubt you will find a canned click next solution.
You will probably have to go the "hacking" route.
Good Luck.
