Hey guys Long time creeper first time poster.
Anyways i picked up a galaxy note yesterday that was bricked for about $175. The guy had soft bricked it recovery and download were still accessible so i simply used odin to reinstall stock rogers from Da_G's thread. The guy said he bricked it because he had a JB rom on there and wanted to go back to stock but odin froze and thats how the system bricked.
Anyways right now i have the system working and running Stock ICS from Rogers. The current issue i am facing is that there is some sort of issue with the signal. The device jumps between Virgin mobile(my provide) and emergency only. Constantly i cannot get a reliable signal on the phone. Calls constantly fail and messages rarely send.
I have tried flashing the stock radio for rogers from Da_G's thread as well but no luck. The apn is correct and ive tried turning LTE off, no success at all. Does anyone in the community have any suggestions this is a really frustrating problem!
Thanks

Flash another ROM on it. And keep in mind, it was sold to you as a brick. Maybe it also had the radio issue before you got it.
You did the ICS update via OTA?
Im downloading this rom now "UCLF6 Base Rom Featuring
The Unofficial FJ-Mod Build #11
"RISE UP!""
Will try it and see if it makes any difference.

From what I see it looks like they use the T-mobile frequencies but I could be wrong. You may need to give a t-mobile modem a try

Here is a link to the thread with the T-mobile modems I suggest reading up a bit in there before flashing. And as long as you are following the directions I don't see why it would not be safe to flash

I have installed the Superclean ROM into my phone and a Verizon Fascinate kernel. My phone will no longer boot into Android nor CWM red. Is there anything I can do to restore it back to its original state? Nandroid backup never wokred for me so I haven't been able to create a back up.
If/when i can get this cleaned up is there any ROMs or kernels for the Showcase on Cell South?

Have you found any standalone radio/modem tar. files that you flash via Odin for the showcase?

There is an all in one package for the fascinate that you could flash but it contains a fascinate modem. Therefore you would have to flash a showcase modem to your phone if the all in one works. You would need to find a standalone showcase modem. A modem is what allows your phone to make calls, transmit and receive data and work with the gps. This is all theoretical of course, I don't know if the all in one for the fascinate would work but what do you have to lose. Here is the link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017817 Like I said, this contains a fascinate modem so you need to flash a showcase modem via odin after doing this. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK. But, this method has fixed my phone when nothing else could. I am about to be unable to communicate anymore for a little while but I will check this thread again to see how you are.
Alright I'll try this in the coming hour. Is there a way I can PM you to see tell you if it worked or not or can you check back later? Thanks

Well its not like you have much to lose now but I doing think its likely anything here would work for you. I'm assuming your phone and carrier is similar but kernels for one line just isn't intended to be tried on anything different.
Really hope it works but I think your phone may need to have an accident and get replaced. When you get a replacement or if you get yours working again, try to stay clear of roms/kernels for other devices.
Well, I just got it replaced over the counter as a manufacturer defect... lol thanks everyone!

Good to hear.
For the record, the Showcase is as similar to our phones as it is to the Mesmerize.
Anyone happen to know, or even a guess why telus would remove the GB update from their site. I've read about people have various problems with the updating, but from what I read, those problems were PC related.
Mine worked just fine.
I also have a question... is it possible to dump a stock rom and/or radio and/or kernel without having root?
Thx
Maniac
Can anyone confirm if this is true?
That is sort of strange. Im glad I was able to get it in time. And rooted too
People were losing SD cards on telus also.

Can anyone tell me how I can rip the rom, cause I've tried the method found on these forums for the fascinate for froyo, but when I tried to odin it back it didn't work.
So right now I'm almost afraid to shut the phone off just in case I can't boot and I have no way to get it back to stock GB.
Mainly what I want to do is make a factory image that I can put somewhere for others to download it. Cause I want to try some things but I can't until telus puts the update up again.

I think Telus was getting all kinds of questions on when it would be available when they had no control over it - so they made a generic upgrade page.
I just tried with Kies and I got GingerBread BUT I'm also staring a long time at a galaxy S screen - lost my clockwork mod recovery as well (back to stock 3E).
Hmmmm - anyone know if this update is still available online somewhere as I have no OTA to get it and of course as the thread says... TELUS has pulled it.

I'm pretty sure to upgrade through the Samsung Kies software, you will have to remove any mods / hacks that you made to your phone.
Best option probably is to flash everything back to Stock, which I did. Then had no problem updating via Kies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
Alright I'll give that a shot tonight, the only 'mod' I have done would be rooting the phone - other than that it is stock at this time.
I guess the one thing I really shouldve mentioned in my first reply is I have the Fascinate 4G with TELUS, is the update specific to the 3G+?

Oh wait! If you have the Fascinate 4G+ (T959P) then you may not want to flash everything back to 2.2.
I'm not 100% sure that it may work with 4G Fascinate.
Can anyone validate the following steps will work on his Fascinate 4G+ ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
They are different phones. If you could get the 3G+ file to flash at all (which I doubt), it would almost certainly semi brick the phone. There is an update section on telus website for fascinate 4G (just below the 3G+ entry) (no update available today). When you see the update available there, you're good to go.
I have the 4g and I won't flash anything made for the 3g. Two different phones. I remember reading a thread about people bricking the 4g while trying to put 3g stuff on it.
First off thanks to xda, you guys are awesome.
I have a 5830M purchased factory unlocked here in Costa Rica. I recently decided to have a go at a custom ROM and have now come out the otherside without 3g working.
My question is: Is it possible to brick some part of the radio so that 3g doesn't work but voice and sms do?
I have tried seemingly every modem under the moon, various roms, the australia open stock rom from the thread below, and CWM restore of my system from before all this. Currently I have the latest pda/phone/csc for my carrier (ICE/kolbi) from sammobile flashed via odin thanks to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840645
I've tried two sims that receive 3g in other devices, but not in the Ace.
When checking *#0011# it just shows GSM: 11 no 3g stuff like I've seen in other photos. See attached. Note that in the second photo it says GSM: 25 but that always soon switches to 11.
The APN settings are always received correctly from the carrier.
I've attached more photos with the output from *#*#4636#*#*.
Ideas? Other info I can provide? Please tell me this is something stupid
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, already tried to burn several CSCs. I do note that the 'Appling multi-csc' message prints out (the first line of it anyways when I enter stock recovery). The whole multi-csc process runs when I flash via odin whether I'm flashing a multi-csc image or not. That has been happening since I flashed the open australian rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840645
Anyone know if that is expected or have I corrupted my stock recovery?
Thanks!
I suggest you try to find another phone, same model, same carrier, and try iamareebjamal's script to recover the boot and kernel images. I've got to do it as well now that I think about it

So I was given an galaxy note i717 att version the other day and I'd like to use it on tmobile. Anyways I unlocked the phone and flashed tmobiles radios/modems on it but I want to use a different rom on the phone. Will I mess up the phone if I put a rom on it because i changed the network modems?, and if not which rom should I use with my att note i717 on tmobile?

You can run any rom you like if you've flashed the right version of recovery. There are several 4.4.2 roms available if you want to run the latest. Depending on your area, you may get as good a signal with an att modem. Personally I'm running the BlownFuze 4.4.2 with the UVLG3 modem, with no major issues.

Yes, make a CWM backup first in case something goes wrong. Also, make sure you're running CWM 6.0.4.3 before you flash a 4.4.2 rom

Any JB and up roms, you will need to flash gapps again, but your apps will come back when you log in your gmail. Just read the OP for rom you use and there will be a link to appropriate gapps, though many are the same.
If your new though, I would advise you to read up a bit. Nobody is going to replace your phone if you dont understand and as far as I know, nobody has invented a time machine yet.

Same here - never changed a radio. I have rooted and customized a few of i717 and the previous radio seems to either stay on or in some cases such as BeanStalk Rom it replaced my radio. Either way they are all on target with TMO.
Hi folks, I've beem looking forward to flash/use my AT&T galaxy note 2 on T-Mobile as well, can some one please share your experience and the links to flashing or unlocking it please?
Folks,
I need help in a big way. I rooted my s9+ International several months ago and had the Renovate Ice Rom on it. It was working fine but I wanted to try out a different rom. The title of my post says it all. Since loading the other rom I have not been able to get it to recognize my T-Mo sim card (tried a new one also) to make/receive calls or texts. I can access the internet just fine. I've done everything that I could think of from doing a factory reset several times to flashing the original stock rom several times, trying 2 internet services in an attempt to "unlock" it. T-Mo is obviously no help and even after flashing the stock rom twice, I sent it to Samsung Singapore thinking that they could help but they want to charge $400 to put in a new motherboard which I declined. It's on it's way back to me.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly welcomed as I've reverted to using my LG V20 for the time being. I paid $1,000 for the s9+! This is the 1st time in years of flashing rom's that I've had this issue and may never flash another rom again due to this.
Help......please.

I'd appreciate it.
Flash the devbase rom. You most likely flashed the detonator mod and that can mess with returning to stock. Also follow the advice others gave and look in tek's thread. Easy solution for me when this happened was to clean flash devbase and go from there.

I'm currently on the stock rom after 2 factory resets then flashing the stock rom twice. I did have tek's mod on it "prior" to the above. Wouldn't all of the above have wiped his mod off the phone completely leaving nothing to uninstall?

Wiping doesn't eliminate it. You have to properly restore or flash with a rom that overwrites the mod.

As you're vouching for his rom, I'll root and install twrp again and flash his rom. Did you flash tek's mod afterwards as well if you're still on T-Mobile?
I'll get my phone back from Samsung Singapore this week and give it a shot. If it works, how do I get a "donation" to you?
Either way, thanks again for the help.
I can vouch for his rom cause I've run every one of them. If your getting it back from Samsung see if it works fine first. I don't need any donations. Give it to a charity of your choosing if you want. Yes I'm running teks mod on TMobile now. Having volte is a godsend on TMobile as I get to many dropped calls on 2g and hspa.

Samsung told me that they would have to charge me $400 to replace the motherboard (yes you read that right) as a fix which I obviously declined. As soon as it's back, I'll try starting from scratch again via rooting, etc. as you've confirmed about. And I'll let you know 1 way or the other as to the outcome.
Your time is definitely appreciated.... Sabresfan.
