I flashed a N7100 custom rom onto an N7105

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

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.

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--

Just coming back to the s4 after being gone about a month

Hello all. As I wrote in my title, I'm just coming back to the s4 after being gone for about a month. I've flashed a few roms and I've noticed that data stops working on almost all the ones I've tried. I tried the Google edition and flashed a different kernel to get WiFi working--when I did WiFi worked but data was broken. Then I tried tri force, data did not work. Finally I tried the one with the weird name (sorry--I know that doesn't help much but I know viper appears in quite a few places in the thread). I am currently on liquid smooth (cm based 10.1) and thankfully it's flawless. I love it but I like variety and I wish I could find a debloated TW rom to play around with. Why it's the data borked on so many of them? I'm not exactly a noob--been an android user for years and I've flashed many a roms. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, unless there's something different or weird with the s4. Can anyone kindly shed some light on my predicament? I'm now downloading negalite. Gonna see if that one has functioning data. It almost seems as tho you have to flash a custom kernel all the time now to get data. Is this right? Thanks in advance!

I have no idea why as I've tried everything I can think of and read but aosp runs better on my S4 than tw, as crazy as that sounds its been true for me. I love Aosp so I'm good. I'm on mf9 via otas and tried all recoveries made and always end up with some type of system or phone fc or the "detected an app".. .blah blah warning which annoys the crap outa me so I just stay on aosp as there are a ton of great ones for us and they work wonderfully -the once in a while call bug which I do not come across that much really ams when I do I made a shortcut for fast reboot via rom toolbox and just hit it when it happens and its good.

Just FYI.....If you flash a TW MF9 rom with the stock kernel and WiFi is broken after boot (can and has happened with Negalite, TriForce, etc) there is a modified stock kernel that can be flashed to fix if needed.

I must be lucky, because I have had no such issues with any rom (AOSP or TW). If I flash the stock rooted MF9 rom followed by the stock MF9 kernel, I have wifi and data. Same goes for any other TW rom as well as every AOSP rom I've tried.

[Q] Couple noob questions about CyanogenMod

1) What are the benefits of CyanogenMod over stock?
2) Is CyanogenMod rooted or do you have to root it separately?
3) Does anyone know if they implemented TextSecure in their stock messaging yet?
4) Is switching back as simple as flashing the stock rom?

Cyanogenmod is better than stock for so many reasons that I'm not going to type them all out. Google that one.
It is a rooted rom.
I have no idea. Check the changelogs at www.get.cm
Yes.
Keep in mind that Cyanogenmod is only available on a very limited number of S4's running <MF3 firmware. For the majority of users who own thus device, it's not even an option.

Just bricked sounds a little light hearted. Yes probably a paperweight. You aren't even going to get as far as putting the custom recovery on it. If you flashed in safestrap you would wind up with a black screen because no kernel support yet.

T_T I'm not sure of what to search for. For branded roms it's relatively easy, but as an INT'L ROM I'm not sure if my process would work. So it's just some obscure file? I was thinking it may be because I flashed something wrong. No chance you can remember where you think you may have seen it? Like xda or another site?

I have been trying my hardest, asking on every forum i can find, to find out how to get the beta release of emotion kernel R24 for N910T. Not one single response.....but anyway. It is my understanding that the latest release of Emotion Revolution rom has r24 kernel as an option in aroma. My question is this; would it be possible to unzip the R23 kernel zip for N910T and replace only the R24 boot image from the emotion rom and leave all the other system files. Or would that be a really bad idea? Ha. I just want the kernel on Tekhds URv7. I know this is possible a really stupid question but I'm just now beginning to learn all the technical details of these things. And I will say ahead of time that any answer will be beneficial because I don't know much about how a N910T kernel differs from international as far as data is concerned or what the fix actually fixes when you flash it. But if it has any relwvance my phone is carrier unlocked and i dont even use tmobile. My goal is to learn something new everyday without hard bricking my baby like I did my N900A. I'm not by any means new to rooting but am very new to having a device that I can actually play with. Thanks in advance and us noobies appreciate everybodys patience.
