[Q] If I flashed GT-N7100 ROM, how can I get back?

First, I'm an idiot,,,got new to android,,had no idea about flashing,, so I just randomly picked a Rom, and turned out its a GT-N7100 ROM, now my phone has no signal at all,,, anyone know how to flash back ? or I have to wait a att ROM come out?
BTW, Im with Rogers.
Thanks:laugh:

your gonna have to wait till either someone makes a odin back with a stock rom or makes a stock rom you can flash via recovery.
EDIT: did you make a backup?

this reminds me of the following youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0
Can you give a link to the firmware you flashed? It'd be useful to know if it contained a modem and/or kernel (or not.)
If it contained a modem, you'll need another modem. If it contained a kernel, you'll need another kernel. We have those. Regardless, you'll need to talk someone into getting you a system image (someone that has the same phone as you and has already rooted.)
Also, do you have CWM recovery installed? Is the existing firmware (as trashed as it might be) rooted? Can you use adb?

im an idiot

I just opened the file you linked to.. it includes a modem, kernel, etc.
I know you won't be happy with this, but until an ODIN image shows up, you're kind of out of luck. If someone you know has the same phone, you could ask them to do a backup to an external memory card, and then you restore that backup to your device. Assuming the modem wasn't flashed when you installed, that would get you back into business. If a modem was flashed, you'll need to get someone to extract a modem (and I'm not sure how to go about doing that.)

Please answer ALL of these questions. I can't help you if you don't answer them all...
Does your phone work now, with the exception of connecting to the mobile network?
Are you familiar with adb? If so, are you able to get a shell via adb?
When you plug your phone into your computer, are you able to copy files to/from the phone?
Which custom recovery do you have installed? CWM recovery or TWRP?
Is your phone rooted? (it probably is with a custom firmware - assuming the phone works at all.)

sorry buddy,,,
right now, the phone has no signal, asking for a sim card, which Ive already inserted it.
noepe, I donno what adb is, I tried google it, but I think its too complicate for me.
I'm able to copy files into or from my phone( SD card)
i rooted my phone through this:

donno if i successed,,, but it has a superSU on my screen after I done it,(guess it count as rooted?) and I may used the TWRP
thank you for your help....
now Im back to my old Iphone 4

I updated that post. Basically, I can't think of anything you can do right now.. until an ODIN dump is available - or if someone gets you a backup you can restore. However, a backup won't flash the proper modem (and it appears you also overwrote the modem.)

Perhaps - perhaps not. Until one actually flashes from the other, we don't know. (Many will tell you that they've done it with a different phone model - my answer to that is simply that it was a different phone model. Until its tried with THIS one, we can only guess.)
I think the biggest stumbling block for you right now is the modem. We have a stock kernel and recovery. A "near" stock system partition image can also be made from another device with a simple command. I have to be honest, though, that I have no clue how to extract the modem from these LTE phones.
A recovery (and kernel) can easily be flashed with ODIN (or with dd from a rooted shell.) Same for the system partition (which is, basically, the OS.) Getting a system image might be annoying, as you'd need to find someone with a roger's phone to make it for you, upload it, etc.
The modem, however... I'm not sure how to go about getting that for you. I've never had to create a modem image...
If/when a ODIN package appears, you can use a program that will, basically, reflash your entire phone to stock. Modem, kernel, recovery, bootloader, etc. Everything. Normally, users wouldn't see those ODIN packages, but there are a couple of websites that have access to some samsung servers where they a put. Once they are put there, we can get it...
Take care

Looking forward to this remedy as this is the reason I am jumping from att Galaxy S 3 to the note2. Want my international dev community back!
Unfortunately so far down here in Southern Florida Miami beach there is no white Note 2 anywhere.

For those that have the ATT version of the Note 2, if you've mistakenly flashed the ROM, I highly suggest visiting your nearest AT&T Device Support Center. Since I've previously worked in those centers, they have a propietary Samsung flashing tool that allows them to flash to the stock ROM, even if it's rooted. Granted they'll be able to tell if you've rooted it or not (which may or may not void the warranty, depending on who you talk to), as long as the phone can turn on and go to firmware recovery mode, the flashing works almost 100% of the time and it's a free service.
However, as I got my Note 2 yesterday, I've contacted my nearest DSC and they said that they don't have the ability to flash the Note 2 yet and they may have that ability to do so in the next few weeks or possibly by the end of the year (if you can wait that long). Being that the associates are just corporate drones, if they can't fix it, they'll more than likely replace your phone under warranty (which I don't suggest since the replacements are refurbished, and besides you should be within the 14 day return period for a new phone).
Sorry if it doesn't help the ones who have the Rogers versions.

[Q] Completely stuck on sgh-t999v (wind) root job...ughhh

Hey all,
So I've checked as much as I could to try and help myself before posting, so hoping some kinds souls can help out with my issue.
Got a samsung galaxy s3 SGH-T999V on Wind Mobile (Canada), android 4.3. My aim is to root the phone, then play with some roms later on, but at least get the rooting part done. I started with this hxxp://theunlockr.com/2012/07/23/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999v-canadian-version guide, but the CMW didn't get installed when I went into recovery mode, just had the stock phone recovery options.
So then, went on to try pretty much the exact same procedure but with the root66_GLW_T999VVLALH2.7z..but Odin gave me the failed sbl2 error or something like that. Now i didn't have anything to backup so I didn't really care wiping the phone to factory default so I did so ( as well as the cache partition using the default android recovery menu.) But even still, no luck. When I tried again, it (Odin that is) just seemed to hang at the phase that stated "get PIT" or something like that (apologies I'm pulling this all from memory).. Had no real choice but to interrupt it restart, try again, back to the sbl2 error again. Doing this from a Win7x64 Ultimate OS (if that's relevant). I HATE the phone the way it is, I cannot stand the bloatware and I have a lot in mind to have fun with if I can ever get this bloody thing to root.
I think that's about all I can mention atm, did the usual stuff like try different usb ports, the phones USB cable 'seems' to be ok and working, I'm just beyond frustrated and finally at the part where I need to ask for help. Any and all help is deeply appreciated. Cheers

i also want help rooting my T999v version 4.1.2 cant seem to find a tutorial for rooting of version 4.1.2

If you're on 4.3 stock you'll have to deal with this new thing they added called "Knox". Also you cannot downgrade to older versions of official firmware if you have updated to 4.3 stock. Root66 won't work for you unless there's a version of root66 firmware that is 4.3 (which there isn't).

[Q] Stock Firmware

Hello everyone i am in a peculiar situation i recently got s3 from my friend he said that it is I9300 but when i received it i came to know that it is T999 and not I9300 . My problem here is it came with android version 4.1.1 build number : I9300ZSEMC1 i didn't understand why it came with i9300 firmware ( i cannot ask my friend as he does not have much technical knowledge ) everything is working fine occasionally touch does not respond and i have bit of hard time switching on wi fi and weird battery drain problems what i want to know is , is these because of the i9300 firmware being present in t999 and whether is it advisable to update it further from 4.1.1 version to t999 latest stock firmware or to stick with the present version . If it is advisable to update to t999 based stock firmware i want to know whether it will work in indian carriers and wont have any problems and also can someone guide me for the right firmware link / build number to go with. :fingers-crossed:

I didn't know the firmware would actually flash across models.

Isn't the I9300 the 1gbp ram version?
Anyway, if certified in download mode you could just flash t999 firmware.
If that doesn't sound safe you can also put a t999 recovery on it and try doing a backup and installing a t999 rom

Sounds kinda like some of the "frankenphones" we've heard about over the last several months. Or it could also be a fake/chinese knock off. If I were you, I would see if there were any way to send it back to whoever sold it. If you plan to keep it though, understand anything you do is AT YOUR OWN RISK! The only absolutely safe course of action is to do nothing to it. If you try to flash it via Odin, and it allows it to flash, but you chose the wrong firmware, it WILL brick. There is honestly no possible way to know for sure what is up with the device.
If I had to guess, something is lying to you about what you are running. If your current firmware version is from an I9300, then that is most likely what you have. That firmware WILL NOT work on any Qualcomm, US model S3's. This tells me that its probably an I9300, and someone screwed with something, (or was careless when trying to copy Samsung), in the bootloader. Because it tells you it is a T999 in download mode, it will probably not let you flash the I9300 firmware. But if you try to flash the T999 firmware, there is a very good possibility you will brick it.
It is up to you what you want to try, but understand you are taking a bigger than normal risk since you already know the device isnt normal to begin with.
One way you can try to determine what motherboard it uses, (though this is by no means a for certain way to know), is go to the SIM unlock thread in General and try to follow those instructions. Also try the GPS fix thread in the Q&A sticky roll up. If I am not mistaken, both use dialer codes that are specific to Qualcomm devices. If they work, its a better chance of it being a T999. If they do not work, its more likely to be an I9300.

There is a chance that someone modified the model number in the phone to access certain apps or something.

I-747 (AT&T) with T-Mobile ROM (For WiFi Calling)

Hi all, I have a AT&T I-747 S3 that is running CarbonROM (Aosp) at the moment. I'd like to flash a T-Mobile ROM onto it, so I can use native WiFi calling with my T-Mobile SIM Card.
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Bootloader AP SWREV - 2
I have the 4.3 Bootloader because I took the OTA update a few months back.
Does anyone have a T-Mobile ROM suggestion that will work and has WIFI calling?
Thanks all

All stock based T-Mobile touchwiz roms have wifi calling. Not sure itll work, but just give any of them a try. (NC2 is our latest build. Check out StockMod)

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned about bootloaders etc and didn't want to mess my phone up too badly. I was hoping someone would know what actual ROM would work with my specific modem/bootloader, since I think AT&T is much more locked up than TMO is.

As long as the ONLY things being flashed are the system and kernel, everything should work fine. You may have some minor connectivity issues, but I kind of doubt it since youre using it on T-Mobile's networks. Still, it is a possibility.
Anyway, just mske sure you never flash any base (or full) firmware or modem that is not specifically for the I747. Flashing the T-Mobile modem most likely just wont work (as opposed to bricking), but flashing T-Mobile firmware will almost certainly hard brick it.
Depending on the rom, you may need a d2tmo recovery. You probably wont run into that problem, but it is a possibility. It should be completely safe to flash the d2tmo TWRP or CWM recoveries if required though.
let me know if you have any other questions. also let us know whether or not wifi calling ends up working. Good luck!

I'm sorry, its been awhile since I've been on here. In recovery. It usually says error in sd card/ ...error 7. And also I can't seem to find a flashable boot loader. But besides that I can even get kk to flash period...thanks again

If you are trying to flash Touchwiz it wont work unless you Odin flash the 4.3 firmware

Usually cm...but the flash will give you an error and will abort installation because a bottloader isn't there...?...its not that my phone won't boot, I mean as soon as I flash it it will say opening package/installation...Then say something to the effect of error:/sdcard blah blah blah (error 7)...then say FAILED...

If its a Status 7 error it means you dont have a bootloader matching what they wrote into the updater-script. With CM it means its either too old, or too new. They dont update their scripts so when new firmware comes out it will no longer flash, regardless of whether or not it will work ok.
Try searching the rom thread to see if anyone ever posted one with a fixed script.
Or you can edit the asserts yourself.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (AT&T) : SGH-I317 Stock Rom needed

Hello,
I'm trying to look for the fresh stock rom of SGH-I317 rom so I can flash my phone back to normal. I owned this phone since 2012, I had it rooted and everything else. Last night, it decided to do something funny and now it gets stuck on samsung logo/battery and I can only access download mode for the time being.
So I assume I have to factory set everything and lose data--which i don't care about anymore.
Can anyone please help? Thank you. Stock rom is what I need and Odin as well. Thanks again =)
Adam.

As far as I know there are at least 4 different STOCK versions of SGH-I317 firmware namely 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.3 and 4.4.2. 4.1.2 is the same as 4.1.1 but it has SIM unlock backdoor closed. 4.1.1 is interchangeable up to 4.3 with certain limitations, as soon as you get 4.4.2 you are stock to it.
4.3 is my personal favorite but I can't seem to find clean AT&T ROM for some time now (everything else is available).
If I were you I'd start powering up the phone while holding home and arrow up buttons, do "wipe data/factory reset" follow with "wipe cache partitions" and you should be golden

did you try flashing recovery again through odin...u can also try this...not sure if it works 100% in ur case...but doesn't hurt to try.

Remember u can downgrade from 4.4.x...there's a thread in forum that explains what tz files r needed and which bootloader 2...I've done it couple of times myself from Dn4 rom and Eclipse V9 from 7100 thread. Just gotta read and be patient. Hope u get all straightened out. Keep us informed on progress.

With the phone in download mode, is there anything on the phone about knox or warranty bit? If there is, the phone can't be flashed with any stock ROM from sammobile.com.

REALLY??? Please show us the link for upgrade! As I said there is no OEM 4.3 ROM at sammobile
I was told many many times that AT&T (and this is the one we are talking about) 4.4.2 ROM can not be downgraded!
I tired the downgrade and yes the system will go down to 4.1.1 but it would keep the 4.4.2 bootloader so the phone won't charge while being off (making it pretty useless).

@audit13 : I've the phone since 2012. I think Im getting a new as is but I know this phone can't be done just yet. if I'm able to access download mode that should warrant itself the possibility of it being fixed. Just need that thread to follow those directions =)

Good Morning, thanks for the link.. But I'm already lost at which one I'm supposed to pick. Can you provide a link to that thread, please? Thank you
Adam

OMG, my bad.
Does the phone say anything about warranty bit or knox in download? If it does, the phone can't be flashed with any ROMs from sammobile.com.

my phone is SGH-I317 NOTE 2 .....

Did you have a chance to look at the download screen on the phone? Model is sgh-i317 in download screen too?

Hi. This is all i have on the download section

Maybe I'm missing something extra like the videos i've seen ?

What is the model number on the label under the battery? Something is very wrong because there is no model number.

Well the model number SGH-I317 . I'm sure I mentioned it before. And yes. .I find that to be weird too >__<.. What am I missing?

In this case, I would try and flash the stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I317/

Ok.. so if I download both of these (or which one do you prefer? ). What else do I need to download? I do have two versions of Odin.
edit :
So i tried it on Odin 1.85.
I get something like GET PIT FOR MAPPING?
edit 2 :
Another Odin version gave me
Can't open the serial(COM) port after setup connection

sorry for double posting but here's a reminder
