[Q] No SIM on N7100, what to do?

Last night I tried rooting my 12 days old N7100 (Note 2). I succeeded, but somehow neither of my 2 SIMs were recognized anymore.
Since then I've tried many different custom ROMs (cyanogen, omega, hypernote...), all with the same result, "No SIM".
I've been flashing most of this through heimdall on OSX. I also installed some ROMs through CWM.
I learnt that my phone is an ALJ3 and I tried the stock ROM for that. And also for some other models.
Only one of the stock ROMs actually gets past the SAMSUNG logo, and that one also says "No SIM".
It almost seems as if Samsung built in some feature that wrecks the phone if you try to root it.
I'm not sure what I could try next except for giving up, buying a new phone (probably not a Samsung) and using this N7100 as a wifi-only tablet.
Meanwhile I found a long list of ROMs for the N7100 at grantbarker dot com - it'll take me a lot of time to try all of them. Is there any one that is more likely to give me a working SIM again?

Sorry to hear that mate, I know you are in a tight situation. Before flashing various roms, did you take the backup of the EFS partition by chance??? If yes, then try restoring it. If not, then go to the posted mentioned below, its a kinda rescue firmware with all parts of the firmware intact.

This just might save your day if you haven't already tried this.

I already got "No SIM" at a point where I had not touched the SIM.

Same problem. Please help!
Sorry I am a toal noob to posting here.
But I am having the same problem!
I am having the accidentally installed omega rom for Verizon, I have att. Everything loaded but it wouldn't detect my sim. So I cleared caches and installed notorious prime but still no sim.
I then did a restore from the clockwork backup and still no sim.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
I'm thinking I might have messed up my kernel or fried my sim somehow?

Try the SIM in another phone use a MicroSIM to normal SIM converter if needed.
Both the micro SIMs I have work in other phones.
Installing a ROM usually also overwrites the kernel, from what I learned the SIM related stuff is in modem.bin, baseband or something similar. (You can unzip the zip and then untar the .tar.md5, which is a plain .tar file actually. That will usually give you a bunch of .img files, and modem.bin.)

Well. I found your problem. Either you've flashed an i317 firmware on your n7100; or you've flashed an n7100 firmware on your i317. Find your model number, and use ODIN to flash the appropriate firmware. DO NOT USE CWM OR A CUSTOM FIRMWARE! RETURN TO WORKING STOCK VIA ODIN FIRST, THEN YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT ROOTING AND CWM!! AND DON'T TICK "REFORMAT" IN ODIN!! THAT'S A NO NO!! Use ExynosAbuse to root if you want. ROM Manager can give you CWM... I think. Appropriate firmwares are listed below.
If you've never used ODIN before, download it and Kies or current Samsung drivers on a Windows machine and follow Dr. Ketan's guide for flashing. It works a treat!
SGH-I317: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/181184536/fa1bbef/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip.html
GT-N7100: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/185548129/fba59f8/N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_XEF.zip.html
HINT: If you bought your Note II from AT&T in the United States, it's an SGH-I317, and you screwed up when you either flashed a GT-N7100 ROM, or at least a GT-N7100 modem. Without an exact account of what all you've done, I can't say for sure. But you definitely flashed something for the wrong device. Get back to working stock and report back.

From this it seems that an XXALJ3 ROM with an ALJ2 radio would do it.
So I thought N7100XXALJ3_N7100OXEALJ2_SER.zip would work but it didn't.
I also tried N7100XXALJ3_N7100OLBALJ3_XME.zip before.
I got the above information by going back to Hyper Note, as none of the stock ROMs has worked so far (except for the first of course..)
By the way, I bought this device in Germany.
I hope someone can give me some hints on how to continue, otherwise I'll have to head back to the store...

Thank you!
IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
Yes indeed I used a rom for the gt-n700, I have the sgh-i317.
One thing I am still confused about is why my CWM back up didn't resolve this? Nor did the noteorious rom...
Oh and I was having a lot of problems downloading from hotfile, stockroms dot net works much better (not limited download speeds).
Now I'm off to root and get NOTEorious rom on there!!
"note2nosim" find the correct firmware on stockroms .net (check the model name/number under battery)
Hopefully this will help otheres with this issue!

Your backup didn't take care of your problem because CWM doesn't backup or restore your modem. As for downloading stock ROMs, I'd just live with the speeds available via HotFile. SamMobile only ever uses HotFile and there is no more credible stock firmware source than SamMobile. Best of luck with your Note II. In the future, get your ROMs and support in the i317 forum here on XDA. There's no better source for ROMs, support, and device info.

Okay. ODIN-flash it completely back to stock. Don't flash recovery. Don't root. You can use the n7100 ROM I posted earlier. It's the latest. After flashing back to stock, boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. Then reboot. Report back after you've done that.

I don't have any Windows machines around here.
Is there a way to do this with heimdall?
Would this be enough?
PHP:
sudo heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img --RECOVERY recovery.img --SYSTEM system.img --CACHE cache.img --HIDDEN hidden.img --RADIO modem.bin

Happy it worked for you.
Under the battery it says
MODEL: GT-N7100
FCC ID: A3LGTN7100
SSN: -N7100GSMH
On stockroms.net that would give me N7100XXALJ3_N7100DBTALJ2_DBT.zip, which kinda matches my AP/CP/CSC strings.
I'll probably first try N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_XEF.zip, as suggested by Mister_Mxyzptlk.
(Also because I already started downloading this _XEF file with hotfile.)

That "should" do it. No guarantee. Give it a shot and do a wipe in recovery afterward.

I did this, with N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_XEF, it doesn't get past the bluish "SAMSUNG".

And now also no luck with the N7100XXALJ3_N7100DBTALJ2_DBT ROM.
Is there a way to see why it stalls at the SAMSUNG logo?

I saw New Android 4.2.2 Official for i9082L in Samsung website, does anyone flash it?

Hi everyone
I'm surprise to see the new official 4.2.2 firmware of i9082 with the name I9082LVJUBMJ1 in Samsung website and it's so happy for i9082"L" version like me. Can I flash this ROM (of course through Odin) with my i9082L THW ? (I bought my phone in Thailand) ?
Does anyone flash this rom on your i9082L ? Is it Good ?
If somebody downloaded this ROM and flashed to your phone, please leak the link for any ppl can download it. I hate Hotfile and Uploaded ! IT's very slow
Thank you very much!

I downloaded n flashed it on my Grand immediately after opening this thread.
No problem happened but u should reset factory default after flashed it to have pure stock rom
This rom booted up wit Brazil (Portuguese) language and u can easy change it to English
Also it included many TIM's and other bundled application, u should remove all by using Clean Master or Titanium BU
GUI is slightly different to 4.1.2, especially Setting, and i like this GUI more than 4.1.2
(However no more Development in Setting)
Unfortunately, i'm now facing to a small problem after installing Philz CWM & rooting this device & deleting unwanted applications : whenever the phone reboot, language automatically turns back to Brazil ) Don't know how to solve this ^_^
I confirm this Brazil ROM can update with THW version (through Odin)
Other issues: in stock 4.2.2, SSG is hotter than 4.1.2 though it's smoother. After changing launcher to Nova, temperature seems become better

The language change issue is due to the new update of SuperSU, ver 1.69. Just uninstall the update reboot and it should fix the problem. I am back to ver 1.25 that came the root zip. You can probably find ver 1.65 somewhere. But, the old version works for me. Chainfire said on his Google + that he is aware of the problem and will fix it on the next update.

Thanks to k2wl & hunter0389, confirm the language problem solved by changing to older SuperSU ( I used 1.34)
Btw, do you use Motion : go on top by tapping 2 times on top of your Samsung phone in Setting> My Device> Motion & Gesture > Motion. I didn't see this motion in new 4.2.2 ( I used to use this motion in 4.1.2)
I also feel the Smart Stay doesn't work "Smart" as 4.1.2 ^_^

Motion : go on top

Motion only works on Contact. It is pretty useless in my opinion. 4.2.2 does not have it. Smart Stay has never really worked well on 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 for me. So, i turned it off.

Guys PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I just installed 3 different roms on my phone and none of them works fine.
I installed:
1. dr.krtans rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472270
2. [MK4]DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502713
3. [Rom][Odin][4.3] N7100XXUEMK4 Knox Free - Non-Wipe
After every installation my phone has no network (e.g. it does not recognize my carrier).
I have no idea what to do. PLEASE PLEASE HELP me out here...

i'm running on doc v6.1 it's working great
maybe you would like to try other older modem to see if it support your area.
in Dr. Ketan's rom you get to choose whether you want to use MJ5 or MJ9 modem
if it still doesn't show any network. try the fix. doc have a link in the front page for that issue

do you have stock modem files backup? if yes just flash it

I flashed OmniRom and had the same problem as you, but I fixed it by rebooting my phone, reinserting my simcard and leaving my phone idle for a few minutes(probably 30 mins or so) and the carrier was recognized. Maybe this might help you.

I need your help...
Hey there!
jd1639 gave me the advice to post my problem in this thread rather than wait for an answer in the xda-assist thread. For not having to write it all again, here is a link to the post I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/unbrick-wiko-rainbow-t3108133 . Seems like noone is able to help me on that issue, but I hope for your knowledge to come up with a solution...
Is it possible to use an update.zip to fix it? Thought of packing the whole stock-rom into a zip-file, rename and install it, and everything would be fine again. Tried to do so, but when I pick the "apply update from sdcard"-option in recovery menu, the system partition is shown instead of the sd card storage, and I don't know how to put the zip onto sys without adb.
If not even a pro like you knows a solution for this, do you think it is still possible to recognize, that I tried to install a custom firmware? Otherwise I could return it to Wiko and hope for a replacement!
Thank you for arguing with my problem by now, please let me know what you think about it.
Regards,
Metal-Moe

@Metal-Moe so let me try to help you..
you have 2 methods:
1.official tool
what you must do? connect your phone and run JB version (it appears v14 on wiko site)..i assume you know how to it.#see below the pictures and minitutorial.
charge your battery to full, this is important!! see if the software recognize your WIKO..run this drivers:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554018 and try to connect and reconnect your WIKO in different USB ports after you installed the drivers. (install anyway if appears a security warning)
2.SPFLASHTOOLS-.if doesnt work try the same method but with SP FLASHTOOLS..even in my computer sometimes doesnt recognize when testing developer roms..and i do that ..works for me..you just need to be patient and keep trying..one of the usb ports will work for sure..after it works flash stock JB and see if your IMEI is back..at least have your phone back to life..to restore your IMEI you have many methods..just PM or mention me to have a more faster answer..first lets see if we can bring back your phone from the dead.:good:
note:stock JB makes a folder inside that is SP FLASHABLE like this:

Thanks anyway!
@smokerman: Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve the problem with the possible solutions you'd mentioned, so I brought the bricked phone back to the local store, hoping it wouldn't be returned unrepaired due to guarantee loss. Two weeks later I got it back and it's working fine! But thank you for your effort in helping me anyway!
Now I'll backup the IMEI with MobileUncle before doing anything else!

v13 appears v8 as i said..this is v13 wiko rainbow firmware uploaded by me from OFFICIAL rom..so even it says v8 you know that this is the correct version..flash it with SP FLASHTOOLS:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609461

Are you sure that after installing the ROM, TWRP will remain in place?

I have originally VAU CSC, it's G988B/DS, physical dual sims were working before updating to OneUI 5.1, after that only 1 sim physical ane 2nd is eSim, I tried to install OneUI 5.0 but on the setup screen dual sims work then suddenly change to 1 sim and 1 eSim. I changed the CSC but no luck. That's why I want to try a custom rom. Could you please help me?

So flash the newest firmware then go through setup wizard then open up settings do you have SIM manager in connections
