You have downgraded yr bootloader...
Check yr knox status it might be showing 0×1
If thats the case simply flash twrp custom recovery n root yr device using dr.ketans utility tool.
N try taking efs back (all though its late)
Then download DN3 V4 RC2 custom rom from dev section and flash it.
Might get life back to yr note2...
Or
If yr knox status is 0×0
Try flashing stock 4.4.2 rom available for india.
This might bring back yr imei no..n phone to working state

Hi download and flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?9li221fj96r66qb hope it helps

it's no method solve this problem ..? :crying::crying:
i solve i9305, write imei method , but 7105 is write protect ,read only ..
Happened to me when I flashed ROM via mobile Odin. I just flashed stock ROM again and got my IMEI/baseband back... worth a try.
nothing can be done at this point you will have to pay for the support.
Always remember to make a backup of EFS before flashing files.

i'm already on stock 4.3 ( with android 4.4.2 bootloader ) is that the problem?
NVM5282 said:

U already said u r on 4.3. Bootloader 4.4 should not be a problem (unless it is corrupted somehow)
My best assessment is that you shud try to reFlash the 4.3 rom again. If it fails (my failed due to new boatloader), u will have to flash 4.4.
After that check out ur battery problem.
Also if u need 4.3 badly, u will have to install mobile odin (strictly) to flash 4.3 back.
I know the solution is cumbersome. But I went through this myself.
Hope it helps you.

that's exactly how i did flash my 4.3 after i had 4.4.2 before , used mobile odin ,
it charges well in recovery mode , i'm just afraid from if the phone's battery went 0 pct and it turned off that i won't be able to charge it again unless i use another phone or something , that's what scares me much ,
it was a big mistake that i updated to kit kat at first place , GOD CURSE THAT KIT KAT

Yes. Kitkat is a Note 2 killer. It broke my wifi. It also hit my cpu. And I heard number of people complaining. I think Kitkat is only good out-of-the-box. Migrating to Kitkat is headache and d so called improvement is for namesake.

i found Solution , as i said it was cuz of the Downgrade , u can't downgrade bootloader so u can only downgrade without flashing any bootloaders by mobile odin ( the only tool for doing that ) but as using 4.3 of 4.4.2 bootloader u won't be able to charge while u r off , made sure of that when i flashed stock 4.4.2 again and battery did charge normal when mobile was off hope i helped and CASE CLOSED

Sometimes if you`re lucky because the EFS folder cannot be read. If its doesn`t work you`ll have to send it in for repair.

Restart after Update

Hi
I rooted LG G3 in 4.4.2 rom to recovery some photos and then there was an update .after update the phone doesn't work normally .It restarts continual .it shows all update has been done 100% but after that it restarts. I need my contact number how can I access to my phone memory to get my contact backup .I got a backup before root but in phone memory
You can't update while rooted bad idea..You can try flashing a kdz (stock rom ) with flashtool and choose not to wipe your data this may work look in the forum on how to do this..
