[Q] Cannot flash t889v modem on t889v

Cheunk · Nov 20, 2012

Hi I recently purchased a note II t889v, I didn't have a micro sim at the time to test it properly. I am stuck on edge:2 while on rogers. I then noticed that it had been flashed by the previous owner. So I looked around the forums.

Details:

-In download mode model is listed as sgh-t889v_NA_VTR
-I have tried to reflash to stock MCT T889VVLALJ4 gets stuck in boot loop
-extracted the modem.bin and flashed using odin and cwm flash. sometimes boots up to lock screen but crashes then reboots or freezes
-using t-mob t889 modem(T889UVALJ1_Modem.zip) allows me to start the and use the phone, but limits to edge:2
-IMEI is listed in the status

I'm trying to get the phone to connect to UMTS.

Any help or input would be appreciated thank you in advance.

I have already tried flashing that modem also. I'm one of the 6 people who downloaded it lol. as soon as it was released by ptmr on his jedi 3 rom. gets stuck in boot loop also. only modem so far that didn't boot loop was the t-mobile modem t889.

Does the phone have the correct imei... Look behind your battery and compare with about device menu

Yes I have ch3cked the imei on the phone and battery also. They both match. Unless somehow the efs may be corrupted by the previous owner. I'm still boggled why I get stuck in boot loop flashing the modem meant for my phone.

tried still stuck on boot loop. If it I flash the modem after I have started the system. without factory reset it get to the lockscreen then it reboots. after factory reset it doesn't even get to lockscreen.

1. downloaded the T889VVLALJ4_T889VYVLALJ4_MCT firmware from sammobile
2. downloaded odin 3.07
3. put phone into download mode using voldown+home+power
4. opened odin
5. plugged in usb.
6. waited for com to show up and looked for added msg.
7. clicked pda selected the T889VVLALJ4_T889VYVLALJ4_T889VVLALJ4_HOME.tar.md5 file
8. ensured auto boot and f reset only checked.
9. pressed start.
10. phone reboots into a boot loop
11. hold volup+home+power go into stock recovery and factory reset
12. reboot system
13. still in bootloop

also I don't know if this will help solve the issue. with odin I cannot flash any modems other than t889v(LJ4). whenever I try to flash t889(LJ1) modem it fails in odin but works when using CWM.

I hope so too. I just don't understand why the phone won't boot up unless I use the t-mobile modem. but I only get stuck on edge:2

I just noticed that when I boot up after installing a stock rom I'm still rooted does that mean anything?
