Network is not Working - Anyone can help me?

I got a Galaxy Grand 2 from my friend running on Android 4.3.
I wished to try custom ROMs that can only work on KitKat Based Firmware.
An Application(Info Samsung) referred me to a Firmware of 4.4.2 with Kenya(AFR) Region.
I downloaded that Stock ROM and Flashed through Odin.
Now my phone is Running on Android 4.4.2 but I cannot get Network on my phone.
Can anyone help me for this problem??

you have to download that latest firmware where this phone is belongs to...

Also you will need Odin.

Pick the latest 3.10.7
Once you've done that then you can root it and get custom recoveries.

Not really sure what you are looking for, I assume you are looking for a custom recovery. There are no custom recoveries available that I know of as of yet. Development for the Note 3 has mostly ended so I doubt we'll see any other options even with the latest interest due to the root exploit from Yemen. The only option for now is FlashFire which isn't a recovery at all but it's an APP. FlashFire can do many functions of a custom recovery such as backup/restore, full wipe and flashing ROMs. FF must be run on the OS so you have no options for recovering if there is a problem booting.
If you are just looking for the factory recovery then you can find it here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347806842
Or you can find the full factory firmwares here
With the problem you're having I'd try just reflashing the same firmware version again. If that doesn't do it, I'd do a full wipe and factory reset then reflash and root using the recent methods available

I have a problem, when I try to use Samsung Smart Switch, my phone reboots in a weird way. I mean, I use the fingerprint locker, so when I start to back up my data, the phone reboots in a second and I have to use my password to unlock it, thus stopping the process of back up. What is going on ?

Try Samsung kies 3

Unfortunately your phone may be unofficial or a cline .afraid you have to download a custom ROM or update manually. But I dot advice leaving KitKat to go to lollipop where it sucks out you battery and gives laggment

i got 5.1.1 back on it but its still the same. on further reading, iv found that its a mobo fault and it needs replacing.

Need to Downgrade from Pie to Oreo

I have tried through Odin but I am getting a boot loader error of some sort...
Is there anyone who has tried this ? I am really hating pie and downgraded my Note 8...but the Fe is refusing it..
Any help would be appreciated

You can't downgrade if your bootloader changed. If your bootloader is U4 you can only downgrade to a different version of U4..if U5 it's the same thing only can downgrade to U5

If you use someone else's twrp recovery of 8.0, would that work?
Because I was also stuck on Pie, with U4 bootloader, but luckily I had a 8.0 recovery and recovered to it.

I dont know if that will work. You were probably able to downgrade because I believe there is a version of Pie that has U4 bootloader that is the only way to restore from Twrp backup. I just checked, there is a version of Pie that has U4 bootloader N35FXXU4CSC5. Root has nothing to do with it. That is why I always preserve my older bootloader. This allowed me to flash the S5 Pie system but keep my U4 bootloader.. flashed U4 bootloader with it that way I could revert back to Oreo

Looks good but I feel Oreo was better than pie. My phone lags and it just isn't what I thought... Looking for a way to get back to Oreo

That is my Oreo setup. My Pie setup is almost the same, Pie for me is much smoother but my Oreo setup I can run Xposed. There is no way back to Oreo. The only way probably is a mother board fron a Notw FE thats on Oreo. Or if a developer knows how to bring EDL to the FE and you can flash the Oreo image. Unless there is sonething out there I dont know about.

Just a reminder for future reference. I always disable software update on my devices for this exact reason. Updates dont neccesarily mean a good thing. I mean security updates are important but my Note 8 is still on the same firmware that it came with out of the box and I have never had any security issues. Always look at an update to see if the bootloader number changes. If it does change from the build you are on then you will be stuck. If the update says S4 its security update, if it says U4 its firmware upgrade. So as long as your flashing any firmware that has a 4 after any letter then you are good to downgrade. Remember if number goes up then bootloader changed and you will not be able to go backwards from U5 or S5 to U4 or S4.

There is actually something call Combination Firmware that allows you to roll back to Oreo. Unfortunately, I have not found any U5 Combination Firmware just yet because note FE is not that popular you know
PS: I also think Oreo is way better than Pie

Someone on reddit claims to have downgraded using an older bootloader incorporated with the pie framework... Apparently he doesn't remember how he did it...
I guess it is possible to somehow unzip and replace the bootloader image? Could anyone shed some light?

Anything is possible I guess, but I have never seen anyone do it.

I'm not sure...but if one could extract the image from Oreo bootloader, then place that bootloader image with the odin firmware then flash that firmware ultimately giving you Pie but with Oreo bootloader you could then odin Oreo firmware. Not sure if its possible.
Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Combination firmware can't downgrade binary. If you're on binary 5 and want to go back to Oreo, only thing you can do is custom rom (which could be as close to stock as possible), but you'll trip KNOX.
Of course everything is possible for Samsung itself, because they have the certificates to sign the image files. But they will never be made available to anyone outside Samsung.
