Hi All, Happy Holidays!
I'd like to ask for your help regarding my IMEI turning to 004999, fortunately I have an EfsBack up created earlier however I cant figure out how to restore this. I already tried installing stock roms from Poland as suggested to revert the IMEI back, but still no success. Hope someone can share how to resolve this. Thank you!

How did u make the efs backup?





How do I fix the No signal issue here?

More details please.

Smack that thanks button if I helped!

The screen shot won't post. Anyway, here's the message.

'Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.'

Thanks

The message means that the firmware is already been tampered, usually rooted. How did you unlock your phone in the first place?

Your services depends on your EFS information, which means if that is lost or your IMEI has a value of 004999 you won't get any signal. As what Irwenzhao already done, you may try flashing a stock 4.1.2 ROM first. Once you get your signal back then you can try updating again.

If that doesn't work, watch closely to others who will respond to lrwenzhao's problem. I have a feeling both of you have the same issue.

Stock 4.3? Is your IMEI intact? Reinsert your SIM card and try again.

Maybe try reflashing 4.3 or should I revert back to 4.1.2? And if i go back to 4.1.2, will there be any issues regarding the modem and the knox thingy?

Nope u can't downgrade. Try reflashing 4.3. (Check if your Knox is tripped.)

Can I use omega rom to get my signal back?

Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

It's not a ROM issue. BTW, I just remembered, did u flash the correct modem for your country/carrier? (Forgot bout that, sorry!)

Is there any way that I can revert back to 4.1.2? I updated to 4.3 using OTA and lost root privileges. Now my battery life sucks. :(

4.3 update not availabe

Hi everyone. I just want to ask why my Galaxy note 2 (n7105) still isn't upgrading to 4.3. I'm checking OTA AND KIES once in a while but is says that this is still the latest version for my device. Can anyone tell me why? I bought this unit from kimstore.

Check your CSC, the local N7105 has a 4.3 update already (GLB). I have a feeling yours was imported from another country

CSC is N7105XEFDMB3. What does this mean? I won't be able to upgrade to 4.3? :/

Hi guys, after the update to 4.3, Maps does not show my exact location anymore, far from where I am located. Anyone having the same problem? How do we correct this? TIA

Flash Philippines firmware from Sammobile using Odin, so you may also receive future updates from Phil region

    Ganown!? HAHA! Eh anong trip mong device niyan sir? Ok naman si Note 2 so far ah? Lalo na pag rooted na. :))
    Sir, please write in english to prevent our thread from getting locked.

    I'm seeing some common queries from our kababayans. So here's some facts that might help out future questions:

    * Regardless of what CSC you have, you can manually flash any Samsung Official ROM from sammobile.com using PC Odin. Nothing to worry about.
    * Rooting is entirely different from software unlocking. It won't unlock your phone just by rooting.
    * Don't worry too much about trying to reset your binary counter. As long as you don't step on your phone, it won't break. Besides, there is always Triangle Away.
    * Once you root, you can't do any OTA so stop trying.. Like for real. Even if you have an official stock rom.
    * Mobile Odin + Custom Recovery are the only things you'll ever need. You'll never have to connect your phone from your PC/Mac again.. Like ever.
    * USB debugging is a thing of the past. When you want to transfer files from and to your phone, Airdroid is what you want.
    * Avoid clearing your cached apps. Please... It will only make your battery drain faster. Android has a unique app + memory management that's built in.
    * Unusual battery drain when flashing a new ROM is but normal. Let the ROM settle for a few days before you start freaking out.
    * The only thing that will surely (101%) brick your phone is when you flash a different radio for a different model. When you do that, don't even bother rescuing your poor phone.

    Guys may alam ba kayong mabibilihan ng spen?? Nawala spen ko .. di ko naactivate yung keeper.. hai:(

    from GODFATHER GT-N7100
    DMB4 PHILIPPINES..

    1,000+ pesos for a new S-Pen on Samsung stores.

    If anyone likes to buy an extra battery, go to CD-R King. They have a 3100 mAh battery for only 420 pesos.

    Almost identical battery life from the original. Good deal :)

    Mga kabayan for me, everytime i have an update whether kies or ota, i do a factory reset. This is just me because long long time ako during the SII days i got crappy batt life after an update. Did an FR and that solved it. So that became my style ever since, again this is just me.

    Did update to 4.1.2 through Kies, did an FR, got no issues and good batt life. Did the recent update to MA6 through OTA, again silly me still did an FR, i get good battery life. For me i do not like to rely on the phone optimizing the apps. So i want an FR which gives me the new firmware like brand new lol, again this is just me.

    If i dont need to use data, (3G or H+) i always set my phone to GSM Only. If you need to use data, choose wcdma only. Auto mode drains battery and keeps selecting the best signal.

    If you have crappy network signal, left your phone idle, even with data off...expect some batt drain specially when your on auto mode.

    I agree with Prince, clearing RAM can cause additional drain, so just do it when you are about to retire to bed. Your phone should go into deep sleep when idle after clearing ram...example after the MA6 update, 10% left on the phone, went to sleep, woke up 6 hours later with still 10%, so deep sleep with the new update is good.

    If you leave your phone idle, data off, and your phone does not go into deep sleep then check if you have wake locks. Click on battery graph, AWAKE bar should match SCREEN bar, if it does not then you do have wake locks. If they match, then its your network signal

    i am no expert but this system works for me. just sharing mga kabayan.

    everyone of us started as a noob.. it's obvious he didn't read the rules so no need to play smart and say such things.. especially to our own kababayans.
    this thread is created for us filipinos to help and guide each other especially the new ones.. so HELP the new ones.. if they violated a rule then tell them..

    anyways:
