But that would mean flashing a nd3 bootloader which is non degradable to 4.1.2. And What am I trying to do is, make 4.1.2 work on my phone. My imei remains intact but I am not able to receive signals.

hi guys
you have to help a friend who is in France and has a problem, he updated the phone from 4.1.2 to 3.2 ditto but has not updated the bootloader to MJ5, and now no wifi no imei.
I tried to install the file N7100XXUFNE1_N7100OXAFNE1_XEF.zip not using the pit file attached, but always fails, I'm wrong in something? can you help me step by step?
Hello babek
Give the initial guide a thorough study once again
I are in the middle or if your friend then he is in the middle of the process
If still failed please update
:
update:
try this with PIT flash over odin 3.07( https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs9wigflyrwp8ip/N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar) download and extract you will find all files inside
make sure usb drivers are installed and phone is detected
if failed, restart the System, and try again, this might fail in the middle, which means pit is flashed, you can then flash the rescue firmware without pit, which may fail few times but keep it going, it will be a success at the end ( lucky enough if went through in first try)
after flashing this rescue firmware download 4.4.2 kitkat from first post and flash that to bring it back to life( iMEI and Network) ( 4.4.2 kitkat ) https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0

hello tnt4ever and thank you very much for your help !!
Sorry for my poor english, I'm not sure I understand well, I must insist, and then restart the computer every time he flashed the file until it https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs9wigflyr...ACTORY_XEF.rar pit and although fails six times? and only then switch to flash the file: https://mega.co.nz/ #! 2QRmCbyb! YkWs92 ... qHm4XIDbgLsEK0?
try changing the pc
try changing the Odin
try to flash PIt file it self first see if it went through
if no try to flash the firmware it self ( rescue firmware) if it didnt went through try both with odin 3.09
see if it works
i hope your friend will find a way
the only bad thing is your partition, once written the problem will be resolved
Nothing to do,all the times failed or remain in connection setting ,and he has't another computer
Please post screen shots

Hey guys, sorry for the delay...
Dunno if the link provided by ibraahim is efficient for anyone having a problem, if it does, it's fine by me, but when I had troubles months ago (because I ticked "Nand Erase All" option in Odin, thus corrupting my bootloader and messing up my phone) I tried all the solutions from this link and, as tnt4ever well remembered to specify in OP, only the 2nd firmware from that link worked. That file was the only one to contain all three required files to re-write the bootloader and related stuff (param.img, tz.img, sboot.bin), along with the .pit file, for re-partition. Ibraahim's file is the one from the 3rd file from that link, so I remember it didn't contain all those files. But, I repeat, according to your phone's problem, that firmware could be just fine to fix your problem. For me, it didn't.
So, as OP stated, the links are not available anymore, but I have the file on my pc and uploaded (again) to my Dropbox, if anyone needs it. The problem is that Dropbox doesn't allow excessive file download and thus the file may become unavilable for download (as it did before). So, the one(s) who get to grab the file, is more than welcome to mirror it.
N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar
Btw, tnt4ever: didn't you already have this file, since you downloaded and tried it, so you could upload it somewhere?
hi my friend, I am about to give up, I do not know what to do, with much difficulty my friend found another PC but with the same results, it seems impossible to do anything with this phone I used odin and drivers kies but maybe wrong drivers ? odin sees the phone but fails at everything I've tried to flash even pit but nothing to do: (
Thank you my friend, but I've tried everything, I even tried to install rom 4.4.2 rom I tried rescue and pit and in each case the result is the same that's why I wrote that I give, if I could do something I have not tried yet, but I do not know what I would do.I have requested steff to look into it
Don't give up mate
Life is not all about giving up
I was exactly in the same situation
Any way have you tried flashing 4.4.2 stock rom only with odin 3.07?

@babak: From what I see in the screenshots, the pc sees the phone, so the problem is not about the drivers, odin, or pc.
I see that you tried to flash the pit file alone, and then you tried the FN1 firmware. It's not good.
Try this: prepare to flash the 4.1.2 rescue firmware along with the .pit file, so you'll have to do this: put the .pit file in the pit checkbox, put the rom in the pda checkbox. You'll have to flash these together, not separately. Give it a try. It must work.
Then, you can flash whatever rom you like.
Thank you my friend, but I've tried everything, I even tried to install rom 4.4.2 rom I tried rescue and pit and in each case the result is the same that's why I wrote that I give, if I could do something I have not tried yet, but I do not know what I would do.
Thanks for your suggestion but believe me I tried this, I put N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF. and Annex pit but always with the same result, odin remains stationary and does nothing I can also show you a screenshot.
No
Remove keis from your system but keep the drivers and try again
Which windows u using xp or 7...?
Oh and by the way why you are using team viewer for this solution..?
I believe doing it remotely can cause the error though I may be wrong... But a virtual machine is not reliable specially when flashing..

hello,
im using 4.4.2 stock firmware and have some problems with gyro/rotation sensors that im hoping to resolve with the rescue firmware, but im afraid because of downgrading the firmware. So can someone to confirm that the above procedure will work or ill just brick my device?
