I flashed a N7100 custom rom onto an N7105 - Galaxy Note II General

I tried root, cwm, triangle and custom rom for N7100 on my N7105. All works except for custom N7100 rom. Custom rom from N7100 if installed onto an N7105 will mess with the modem (no phone, message, data transfers but wifi still works). But flashing back N7105 modem unto a N7100 custom rom installed on an N7105 does not bring back use of modem. You need to flash a N7105 stock rom from your country to bring back the use of modem. So that kinda bring us back to square one...
The similiarities are surprisingly many. All functions are intact except for modem. All we need to do is to figure out what modules in a N7105 stock rom needs to be transplanted unto a N7105 installed with a N7100 to make the modem come back.
At first, I created a nandriod backup straight away after root. After creating the nandriod backup, I proceeded to flash a N7100 rom unto a N7105. Modems gone. After that I flashed back the nandriod backup, but modem does not come on. As nandriod backup does not backup the modem, I thought that if I simply flashed the modem extracted from stock N7105 rom onto my N7105 installed with N7100 custom rom I will regain the use of my modem. I was wrong. Modem functionality still remained elusive.
The similiarities between N7100 and N7105 are surprisingly many. All functions are intact except for modem if u flashed N7100 rom unto N7105. All we need to do is to figure out what modules in a N7105 stock rom needs to be transplanted unto a N7105 installed with a N7100 rom to make the modem come back.
The aim of this thread is to port modem capabilities onto an N7105 so that we can do this for all roms in XDA, assuming that developers did not mess with N7100 modems. We will effectively take a N7100 custom rom and flash it on an N7105 with a few steps added to regain modem functionality. This way is much better than a segregated support for both Galaxy Note 2 types. Either this or developers can create roms with dual support for N7105 and N7100. But my way is a more proactive approach on the part of users.

Likely that ROM flashed a modem with the ROM. Was it ARHD by chance? I know they flash a modem on install which I never understood and, IMO, makes no sense.

Yes modems were flashed. I try to be as non invasive as possible to developers. I understood from my time is XDA developers that if you seriously want something, DIY. Haha.

That's what general or q&a is for lol flash your modem for your device and that should fix it. Maybe post a suggestion in that ROM thread to remove the modem flash. Again, its quite unnecessary. Coming from developing on HTC stuff, we couldn't even flash the radio stuff from recovery. Even if we could, we wouldnt too much that could go wrong if you get a bad flash or a corrupted zip.

So what must be done to gain phone signals back if one installs a N7100 custom rom into a N7105? If the problem is with the chipset there is nothing much we can do about it right?

I did the same mistake as you did.
Don't panic though.
I downloaded a stock N7105XXALIJ rom and flash it using PC odin.
Everything is back to normal. 3G, 4G, LTE, sms, mms, data all working.
Then I rooted it using this guide:

No flashing N7100 was a deliberate endeavour for me. I wanted to see what screws up after flashing. The aim of this thread is to see what can us normal users do to regain modem control in an N7100 rom.
After some though I realised that it is not very feasible. As some files needs to be altered as they contain N7100 only information like build.prop. We might just need to wait for a knight in shining armour to create a N7105 rom for us....

What would probably make more sense is one of two things... 1) a "flash pack" that allows you to flash an n7100 Rom, then you flash the flash pack to put back device specific files or 2) ROM devs can build an updater-script that identifies your device and basically does that for you. So it would flash all the files that are the same, determine your device, flash device specific files. I wouldn't mind helping build you guys a flash pack, I just need to look into what files are different.

Bleh. Well, I'm heading back to school now, gonna take me about 3 hours. If someone has fast internet, would be nice if they could download a stock N7100 tar and a stock N7105 tar and host them on dev-host, androidfilehost, or goo.im. Some place where I can actually download the damn thing. Would make things easier for me to look at when I get to school, instead of 2+ hr download times on a file I should be able to pull down in 3-5 mins.

It's still downloading... I'm going to have to look at this after class tomorrow. Will keep you guys informed

Why don't you start dev? If they see more and more people using it and more dev they may be more inclined. I believe forums are created on a popularity basis.
You could try porting a VZW or other GS3 recovery to your device. It's actually very easy and no development skills required. Heck, I was able to get a GS3 cwm ported to my Galaxy Tab 2 by just extracting my tab's zImage, splitting gs3 cwm, replacing the gs3 zImage with my zImage, and repacking. Flashed and booted right up. Since the hardware is generally teh same, the only thing you *should* have to do is inject your kernel.
You could probably easily get cm10 or aosp to port also.
Help me do this
I'm still bit confused if u read my other posts under xda android dev and hacks I posted what I want to attempt
I figures vzw gs3 Rom would be best shot since metro and vzw are both cdma both devices are same specs hardware
I wanted to dload a stock vzw gs3 4.0.4 Rom remove its kernel and modem/radio and dump metros stock kernel and modem into it and attempt to flash
but I know nothing about doing this either all from my device itself or from a Pc I am rooted I do have twrp recovery and root explorer but root explorer only allows you to tamper with the actual installed Rom your running how would I hack the downloaded vzw gs3 Rom of choice without getting fancy and using android workshop tools

Yes for CM 10 flash jelly bean gapps zip here is the link for that . As a general rule only flash ICS gapps with CM 9, gingerbread gapps with CM 7, jelly bean gapps with CM 10, etc. As far as the fixapn zip, only flash that if you are having network and data problems, or your not able to make or receive SMS/MMS. Hope this helps .
I can get the SGS III running on metro, given that an S3 was donated. It's not too difficult if you reprogram phones daily, and that's what I do. Because of this, I don't have any competition from a business point of view. I'd provide the service to myself for getting it working. Right off the bat I can get:
Talk, Text, MMS, and 1x Internet Working with little to no effort. 3G varies on location, but I can take a crack at it too. If this bounty is serious, just donate me an S3, I'll do the legwork, and I will not be accepting any form of donations, other than the donated S3, I'm good with that.
Cheers.
Edit: If someone is serious about this bounty, and willing to donate, you need to make sure you donate a GS3 using CDMA, (No Sim Card) Not GSM. It can be with a BAD esn so you won't pay an arm and a leg for donation.
Verizon and Sprint GSIII use CDMA, I believe the international version is CDMA & GSM.
Double Edit: I can cook up a few roms as well, MIUI, AOKP, and Custom Stock Rom.

It's not a scam, its an offer to something I know I can do. Did you see the programming guide topic I made? Every other phone followed it and copy-pasted my tut. Bounties offer amounts higher than an SGS 3 is worth. I'm not asking for a new SGS3 with custom design and preference in size, I'm only specifying the carriers that share the same cdma technology as metro, I even specified to get a bad esn one as that's used and not able to be activated with the main carriers. If the bounty is as serious as I am, I can do it, given that the bounty is real. I'm not accepting bounties, just a used sgs3 for me to work on, I'm going to pay for my own metro services in order to program and test the phone and build some roms together for it. If anything, this would be costing me, not anyone else. I enjoy doing what I do, and I have the tools to work with. As for the "scoring a free sgs3" I'm accepting that as payment for my time invested into this fun project. I do have a job outside of XDA, and getting my clients work done and doing this on my time off deserves at least some sort of recompense. I'm not asking for much. I'm offering a service and asking for something in return to start with. If I wanted an SGS3, i'd buy it myself, but I don't need it, I'm fine with my Epic 4G running CM10. This is an offer, not a demand. I'm sorry you "smelled" a scam, by no means are you being held at gunpoint in demand for my time. Nothing is free, and even then, I like to help for little or close to nothing. If this bounty isn't serious, I suggest a mod close this thread. But the talent is out there.

You don't need to follow the Loki recovery instructions since your bootloader is already unlocked, just flash the ROM according to the OP instructions.

If you're not up to speed then I recommend searching the forum before asking lol :silly:
Anyways no, you don't run Loki-fied files on the canadian variants. Also I believe Task650 isn't loki-fying his ROM anymore and is strictly leaving it up to OUDHS Recov to apply the loki patch. If this is the case, all you need to do is use TWRP and flash the ROM. Again though I can't say for sure and you're gonna have to actually read his thread.

I honestly see no reason why it can't be flashed to a Canadian S4. Task usually only supports his carrier though.
Also, if bricking were an issue, I'm pretty sure it would be a huge disclaimer in the Loki FAQ

ATM, an ATT phone must be running a Loki recovery, and the ROM must be Loki patched, unless you flash non-Loki ROM, then a Loki Kernel.
Flashing a Loki ROM to a Canadian phone will bootloop. I will try to ask Task about his ROM.
@Manufactured consent
Since your bootloader is unlocked, and I see no mention of Task's ROM being Loki patched, you should just be able to flash it.
You can flash it but it won't be supported. Task won't support anything he can't test. Questions about it just derails the thread.

Verizon Roms on Sprint S4.

I would like to hear everyones experience with this,
I remember reading someone did it and had it working,
so any details would ne nice, so that everyone can get a new set of roms!
because everyone knows how limited us sprint folk are, I mean we have like what? 8 or 9 roms?
we need more bad!!
You can run i9505 roms, and I am sure others, I have someone testing it with sprint, but he has been gone for a few days, I suppose....follow my guide, it does not have sprint listed yet, but the concept is the same, in short start off by flashing the rom you want, and before you boot, flash a sprint kernel, then tweak the rest...

You can run i9505 roms, and I am sure others, I have someone testing it with sprint, but he has been gone for a few days, I suppose....follow my guide, it does not have sprint listed yet, but the concept is the same, in short start off by flashing the rom you want, and before you boot, flash a sprint kernel, then tweak the rest...

a few days ago, I flashed wanam with a sprint kernel. everything was great but I couldn't get data working for the life of me,
i tried everything, i tried freakin, adding sprint apn's, i tried, following a rom porting guide, did not work.
so im stuck on the data, any opinions?
Bump... Has anyone checked out the features on This rom? I might have to backup then try flashing with a sprint kernel.

Yeah I ran it for a short while. Can't remember exactly because I've been flashing so many roms but something made me change back. .. it works though

FYI the developer of Hyperdrive informed me that he'll be releasing the rom for Sprint soon.

[Q] convert i9505 to 100% i9505g

Hi,
Since both phones are identical in hardware. Is it possible to convert the international 9505 to be a 100% gpe with ota working? I don't mean by flashing one of those custom roms floating around.
I tried several custom roms like janjans and jamals, but both drain battery twice as fast as the stock Samsung rom (18h vs. 32h).There is no wakelock issue. The roms simply drain the battery faster for no reason.
My hope is to have a clean gpe that's provided and updated by Google.

That won't happen. Samsung *may* provide something..
These problems aside.. as far as I can see, what we need it a full Odin package that can be flashed onto a i9505 or a i9505G (since they share the same hardware). As far as I can find.. so far, no such package exists.
I don't have a i9505G, but I wonder.. does it come with a Samsung Kies package? What is the procedure to flash it back to factory settings? I can't recall the last Samsung device where system images were not available.. these are usually pulled directly from the Kies/Samsung update server.
Anyway.. I'm here waiting like many of you are as well.

I can't find an ODIN package either, and no--the GPe GS4 does not come with a Kies package. I wish it did. I want one now.
Yes, a full Odin package would be the best, but as you found there seems to be none. Even sammobile does not provide any rom for the gpe. It's like the phone doesn't exist in the Samsung world oO.
On the other hand side the has to be an Odin package (which might not be available to the public) because the i9505g is out in stores and it had to be flashed at least once.
And honestly I don't think that Samsung flashes the gpe in a different way as the i9505. Since this would require new tools that cost money.
So, there has to be an Odin package we just don't know about it by now *hoping*

I only really envy the fastboot ability of the I9505G SBL. Anyone with JTAG tried flashing I9505G SBL to I9505?

I Just got galaxy s 4 for wifey, and i am really upset that i9505 cannot be converted like my HTC One on which I got 4.3 OTA, I wonder why no one thought about it here. may be people are happy with custom rom, but me, I would like OTA as its served, not custom ones.
I'm with you guys... I know that it will be a reason why we can't "convert" our I9505 in to I9505G just like that, with a simple Rom flash, but:
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44425206#post44425206 [ODIN][TAR] 4.3 I9505GUEUBMH1 Full Rooted Restore , an ODIN file to restore I9505G.... the warning text says: NOT FOR I9505-I9500 (in red!), but why? is not the same hardware?
Maybe is the ray of light we are waiting for? :fingers-crossed:
If someone try to flash it, let us know if its works.

The boot partition is locked so you can't but you can root get custom recovery and flash a Google play edition ROM from the I9505 android development section.

But didn't a poster above imply these ROM's are not stock and don't perform as well? I'm thinking about trying to do this too, but this thread implies it is impossible to make a regular 9505 into a 9505G?

It is impossible to do a full transfer but the Google play edition Roms run very smooth I'm running one now from my sprint version which is the smoothest ROM I've used. You can change the build prop to say GT-I9505G

Changing the build prop does not a ROM make. I guess I should do proper research on some of these ROMs. I was psyched to get wireless charging back, that was my fave thing about my Pre. For the record, every day I spend here trying to decide what's next, I keep looking at my i9100 and say; why do I need to?
Sprint: Nilay Patel was right...poor poor americans, but more importantly they, your carriers, poison the whole world as well.
Is it possible to get the extra 1700MHz bands by doing a full flash?
Can someone upload the sbl from a i9505g rom?

None of what you said has anything to do with overclocking... In fact, none of it makes any sense at all.
You need to read the stickies before proceeding.

gee thanks guys just new at this
well, more info would help
what rom you on
what build number
it is the i337 att--right?
what twrp version you on and has it worked before for you or is this the first time you used twrp
i don't see a KT kernel with that name on this site or i9505 site
We understand that you are new at this. But you need to be more clear with us so we can provide help. You are holding a $650 phone and entrusting us with helping you modify it. More info is needed and more research is needed on your part. You need to be fully aware that you could end up with a expensive paperweight if something wee to go wrong. I tell this to most new comers. Rooting and custom ROMs are great. But not in the hands of someone that had no real idea of the consequences.

Here's the problem. You have incorrect punctuation in your post. Leads us to believe you have an i337 where from your other posts you say you have a i337m.
You need TMO kernels not one from "this" site
Maybe reflash your recovery, and still need to know what rom you are on as KT has kernels for TW and AOSP. I don't see any listings for "mri" so a link would help.
If you are doing things off the web--stop--and start using XDA for your info and downloads.
There are good Guides here to get you started.
Seems like when you have an issue you just ask someone for the solution, from reading your posts anyway--?
As graydiggy said, lots of reading required here to protect your investment--

Good Luck on it and keep in mind some folks have issues with 2.6.0.0. So if you do try 2.5.0.2. I have a recovery flashable zip for it and so does xBeerdroiDx in post 2 of his Guide in General.
