Brief background..
1. Stock SCH-i605.
2. Unlocked and rooted with VRAMC3.
3. Flashed the firmware update for I605VRUEMJ9 via Odin
4. Installed Bean's Stock DeOdex 4.3 ROM.
Phone had updated baseband and working smoothly. Exchange email working without issues upon testing. From here:
1. Booted back to recovery, factory reset
2. Installed the nightly CM11 build from 1/7
3. Installed gapps 4.4.2 modular package
Booted back up and things are running fairly smoothly, but.. two main issues:
1. Exchange email not syncing. Just continues to say "Waiting for sync Your email will appear shortly."
2. Radio strength is bad - looked for updated radio settings, and installed the following https://www.dropbox.com/s/akeq41pjwffkehe/MJ9ModemParams.zip and things have improved slightly, but still not where they were.

I had the same issue with Exchange with a build around that time. I tried a newer one and it had been great ever since. I always use TWRP.
I can't say I have noticed any drastic change in signal strength. I'm on VRAMC3 as well.

question, how did you flash the deodex rom after flashing the 4.3 update via odin? doesn't the update lock the bootloader?
Not sure what fixed the issue, but I started again from scratch. Running latest nightlies since 1/13 with exchange now working. Wo0t!

I flashed Bean's firmware via odin. I haven't taken an OTA since VRAMC3. See this thread:

I'm sure people were getting pretty tired of hearing about the radio issues when people flashed cyanogenmod (ie, LTE worked, but no SMS, MMS, or voice calls, odin didn't fix, the only solution was to factory restore from WITHIN a TW ROM). After waiting a while for things to calm down, I'm ready to try to install Cyanogenmod again but I am naturally hesitant.
Has this issued resolved itself? I'm running rooted and unlocked MC3 with CWM installed. I heard somewhere that flashing the MJ9 radio BEFORE Cyanogenmod 10.2 / 11 fixed the problem?
I would really appreciate any input or personal experience here!
As far as I know, the issue has not resolved itself. I tried flashing the newest CM 11 a couple of days ago (I think it was the nightly build on the 22nd), and I still had the funky radio issues. However, I tried this, and it fixed all the radio issues with CM 11 (and any other Android 4.4 ROMS - I'm running Slim ROM at the moment)... Here is my post from another thread.
Hey all, I got it working (the data/network connection that is), with a little effort. Here is what I did in sequence...
1) Reflash the ORIGINAL VRALJB image via ODIN. I used the one found here. You want to make sure you get the one that replaces EVERYTHING, i.e., NOT the alternative restore.
2) I set up my phone and used it normally for about four hours. (This may or may not be necessary, I'm not entirely sure. I also rebooted the phone about five times during that time frame.)
3) I unlocked and rooted the phone via the method outlined here. After that was done, I installed CWM 6.0.4.3 via TWRP (which the unlocking process installs).
4) I then installed CM 11 and the respective Google apps. (I first did a backup, then a factory reset, then cache wipe, then dalvik wipe. The next thing I did was install CM 11, then Gapps.)
5) Restart the phone and success!

The reason why I found out that this method would work, is that I tried installing CM 11 on my dad's phone. He has had a TW ROM (Beans build to be exact) since the phone came out. And he has been running the stock VRALJB radio. With that said, I figured I would try flashing the stock ODIN files to restore my phone back to the VRALJB. (I think I was running the MJ9 prior to this) That worked, and the SlimROM has been working perfectly ever since!
[Also, if you wanted to check out SlimROM, you can find a link to it here.]
Still looking for some more feedback from users! Anyone successfully flashed CM 10.2 / CM 11 from MC3 without problems / fixed the problems?
EDIT: Please ignore - it's an issue w/ the latest CM11 build. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50349901&postcount=1789
I need some guidance - I'm one of the early S4 owners that's LOKI'd w/ TWRP recovery. I've been running the MDK modem since I got it but decided a couple days ago to update it to take advantage of the faster LTE (Band 4?) if/when it's available. I flashed the most recent I545VRUEMK2 radio with no problem and have been running if for a few days. ( Modem only link from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487298 )
I'm on the CM11 Nightly ROM and this morning tried to update the the most recent, the first attempt at flashing a ROM since updating the modem. After flashing I can't boot and instead get the Verizon error screen saying I have unauthorized software and to bring the phone to a VZW store.
I can still boot to recovery, and after reflashing the nightly I had been running previously was able to boot back up, but I was under the impression LOKI'd phones can use any of the modems and continue flashing ROMs.
What's going on here? Do I need to go back to MDK?
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Just had a thought - would the recovery version have anything to do with this? I know that the CM threads say that TWRP has compatibility issues and to use CWM, but I've never had an issue using TWRP when I was running the MDK modem. Does CWM handle post flash cleanup somehow to force ROM compatibility?
Hey guys, I tried to flash the HTC One Stock rom ported to my DNA, which “bricked” my phone. I was stuck on the white HTC boot screen when I tried to boot, and was only able to go into the bootloader (CWM recovery would not boot). I have S-OFF, HBOOT, unlocked bootloader, root access. I then tried flashing the team win recovery, which worked, but also would not boot. After continuing to get frustrated, trying to run RUU (failing because my battery was below 30%), I did some more research and tried “fastboot clear cache”, then tried booting into recovery – tada! So now I was in recovery, cleared all my cache/data, flashed the CM 10.2.1 zip and the latest PA Gapps I had stored on the phone. Everything went clean and Cyanogenmod booted up.
Now, however, the Play Store will not open (connection error, “retry”) and Hangouts will not connect. Any ideas? I’ve tried clearing Google Play Services data, Hangouts data, Play Store data, rebooting, toggling airplane mode, removing and re-adding my google account. Also, I’m getting sync errors for my google account. Any help here would be appreciated.
Most of the other Google apps I’ve tried work fine and have all my data, including Maps, Gmail, Keep, Search/Now, Play Music, etc.
It may also be important to note that the phone is currently not attached to a number (I re-activated my old iPhone 4s so I can at least have a phone for the time being). I do have wifi access.
Thanks.
Try This
Everytime that happened to me it always ended up being because it was either an outdated version of GAPPS or it wasn't a minimal gapps install. What i recommend is to look up version of android you're running, google "*your android version 4.x.x* minimal gapps.zip" I always go minimal because having all of the extra play apps and google services isn't necessary and can cause issues with certain roms, plus dat battery drain is rough compared to a minimal gapps install. After this has happened and it still hasn't worked, let me know :good:

I tried two different "minimalistic" gapps - one was 15mb and the other ~60mb. For the 15mb one, my keyboard didnt work and I had the same google connection issues with the other one.
The latest pa gapps on 10.2.1? Do you mean the latest 4.3 gapps or did you accidentally use the kitkat ones? If you used the kitkat ones it would definitely cause problems like that. My suggestion: just flash the latest cm11 and pa gapps. I think you'll be much happier with it anyway.

Hey, been a little to busy to troubleshoot this. My problems began when I flashed a snapshot build of CM11 for the DNA. There is no "Stable" release on their downloads page yet: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=dlx&type=.
I did find this guy though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714425
Should I try flashing this? Also, I was reading that you need new radio firmware for Kit-Kat. Is this true? I tried to flash the latest radio through fastboot but it gave me an error that had something to do with an unknown device ID.
Let me know your input, thanks.
Update:
I Flashed C-Rom 6.5 (Android 4.4) and the 4.4 PA Gapps and still had the same exact issues as before:
Play Store Connection issue
Hangouts connection issue
Other google connection issues
No 800 MHz cell band connection (device said Voice was Out of Service when I put my phone number back on). 700 MHz LTE, however did work.
Can't get adb to see my device, but fastboot can.
Corrupted model id and serial number.
So with all these issues above, the corrupted model id and serial number are what I've been mainly trying to tackle. I've read about fastboot flashing the ENG HBOOT and changing the model id that way, but I cannot flash zips in fastboot because of the corrupted model id (give the model id check error and fails). I'd be completely satisfied at this point with running RUU and getting onto the stock 4.4 update that came out. However, when I run the RUU.exe, it says it can't see my device and when I try to flash the RUU hboot, radio, and recovery zips, obviously the model id check will fail. I've since factory reset and flashed CM10.2.1 back onto the phone because C-Rom 6.5 was very laggy. The phone is pretty much just a wifi device now and I have to download apps via apk's in the browswer and manually update everything.
Anyone have any ideas on getting the model id and serial number back to normal? Really starting to get tired of my cracked iPhone.
Longtime XDA'er here with a problem.
I was rooted on stock 4.1.2 for over a year but wanted to update to take advantage of newer features such as chromecast mirror on kitkat. I had a perfectly working phone until I tried flashing updates. I followed instructions and only flashed the MJ9 baseband on roms that tell me too, and even flashed ND7 baseband for other ports. I was able to install multiple variants of 4.4.2 with both twrp and philz recoveries with the same result. I can't get sms/mms to come in. What's weird is upon bootup I will get the same test message only once, then nothing. I even tried flashing agni kernel with no luck. The phone works great with the exception of text messaging. Calls work, GPS locks, and no issues with wifi. APN settings look fine (compared to my wife's note 2 which is identical model still on 4.1.2). I popped my sim into an LG lucid I had as a backup and the text's sitting in limbo start streaming in, so I know my sim isn't bad. I even made sure to disable hangouts with no luck. Even tried Go Sms Pro with same result. I have since decided to go to 4.3 and am having the same issue on those roms on the MJ9 baseband and MJ9 stock kernel.
I'm pulling my hair out because I can't figure this out and I'm a pretty smart fella, this just has me stumped.
Ideas anyone? I have been researching like mad and nothing I try seems to resolve.
Thanks in advance!

flashing stock 4.1.2 via Odin does fix it, but when I try to upgrade to any rom from there I have same problem. Pretty much all of the roms 4.3+ specify flashing with MJ9 firmware, which I have done. I have tried 4 roms today and same problem every time.
So annoying, it's like I can't get higher than 4.1.2

I'm really surprised I'm the only one having this issue. After much research and countless attempts, it seems the most I can do is run stock 4.1.2 rooted, and can apply the MJ9 firmware... but if I try to update to any rom 4.3 or above, my text messaging stops working, otherwise the ROM's work great and phone calls, 4G Data, Wifi, GPS, etc all work perfect... only the sms/mms doesn't.
If I run the stock, rooted 4.1.2, with MJ9 radio everything runs great, including sms/mms, so my feeling is that I need a rom that doesn't flash kernel, or baseband, but jsut system, data, etc... then I might have a shot but it's a long shot at this point. I have even tried beans build 26 which is 4.3 and have EXACTLY the same problem.
The only other thing I've noticed is I have hardware version I605.07 whereas most people it seems have I605.06 from what I've noticed while browsing similar threads.
got it working with no help from anyone... a lot of steps but worth it. Definitely not the normal path everyone has been posting.

Absolutely... I will type up instructions in the morning. As for driving you nuts I know exactly what you mean... I was pulling my hair out and almost gave up hope but I tried something and it worked. It involves using beans 26 rom and a combination of Twrp and Philz recoveries and backup/restores... if you are having this problem, the main problem is the flashing of the MJ9 firmware.
I'll clue you in tomorrow

as promised, here's the steps it took for me to get working... It may seem a little bit of a long process but almost 4 days now and no more issues, so I trust this process. It must be something different in my hardware versus other, and I'm assuming yours is like mine.
Let me know if you have any questions
Start with 4.1.2 stock rooted
1. Install latest TWRP Recovery v2.7
2. Backup EFS and Modem as separate backups to your external SD card
3. In Recovery, Wipe.. Advanced Wipe and wipe everything (including Internal Storage) except external SD and USB-TG partitions
The next set of steps is to ensure you have a clean base to work with...
4. Reboot to download mode and using Odin 3.07 flash stock 4.1.2 firmware
in Pit select Sch-i605-16gb.pit
in PDA, select the stock 4.1.2 MC3 firmware
make sure only the following checkboxes are selected: "Auto Reboot", "Re-Partition" and "F. Reset Time"
Hit Start, wait till process completes and boots into o/s. Then skip all wizard options to get to home screen.
5. Root phone using casual
I had no issues using version "NoYouVerizon-GalaxyNote2-CASUAL R515.jar"
6. After root is successful, boot to Recovery and install latest TWRP recovery again since you will have twrp v2.5 due to the root process
7. Repeat step #3 (3 times to make sure everything is wiped clean)
8. IMPORTANT as this is what seemingly fixed the sms issue for me: using twrp recovery, restore the EFS backup you took in step #2 (do not restore the modem)
9. Install Beans 26 rom (Alliance 4.3) which will now give you a proper MJ9 base and kernel to work with. Again, skip all wizard prompts after it loads just so you can get to home screen.
10. Boot into recovery and now backup the new 4.3 EFS and modem partitions to your external SD.
You are not actually going to need the modem backup for the next steps, but if you have a problem installing a rom,
you now have working MJ9 EFS and Modem partitions should you have a problem with any roms from this point forward
11. Repeat step 7 & 8 (restore only the EFS 4.3 partition)
12. Important.. Now install latest Philz recovery
13. Install 4.4.2 rom using Philz recovery
At step 13 is where I installed the Ditto Note 3 rom v5.2, and chose "do not wipe" during the aroma install process.
14. once installed allow it to reboot, if it hangs on samsung boot animation for more than 5 minutes do the following:
a) pull battery and boot into philz recovery, then wipe only the following: Data, Cache, and dalvik cache
b)Install Agni Kernel (PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.2.5_I605_4.4.2_AROMA-signed.zip)
c)reboot and you should get the android wizard for the rom in 2 or 3 minutes
If you have a problem like I did with regards to the Camera not working in the new rom, dirty flash the rom again (do not do any wiping)
Then re-install Agni Kernel since the rom installs it's own, otherwise it will break wifi, at least it did on mine.
There are a few more fixes to get tethering, etc working but I can provide those steps if needed. It basically involves installing xposed framework and the moto-x module.

Whatever works for you. Glad your back up and running.
Here's a Stockish ROM for your N915P. This ROM has Knox, Sprint ItsOn, and secure storage removed. Nothing else was done to this ROM. I'm new to the Note Edge so I may upload patches to remove any other traces of Knox or ItsOn or optimizations I happen to find while making my own ROM.
Prereq: OG1 Baseband. Download it below.

MD5: 75bd507e3b4296a128f1c0c48fd2359c
Version 1.1: Enabled many TCP Congestion options via defconfig. Added init.d ability via ramdisk.

Patches and fixes:
None yet.
[size=+3]DeOdex note:[/size]
The first boot time for this DeOdex ROM is very long. Approximately 5-8 minutes. Your phone will get hot as the splash screen remains on the yellow Sprint boot animation. I recommend keeping your phone in a cool environment while this is happening. The heat, if not properly checked, can make boot times even longer as the system throttles speed in order to deal with the heat. This doesn't happen on the Odex version.
[size=+3]Install instructions:[/size]
-Are you currently on the OC8 bootloader and would like to stay on it?
--Simply flash the baseband with Odin, and the ROM.
-Are you on the update from OTA or flashed the OG1 TAR?
--Flash kernel only.
-Are you one of the unlucky ones to take the OTA and hose your system trying to root and are now on another ROM?
--Flash ROM only.
-Are you on any build after OC8 but not the current OG1?
--Flash the baseband and ROM. Bootloader is optional and not available in this thread as of yet.
Wiping is only necessary if you are coming from a different base, such as AOSP/CM. If you are coming from a touchwiz ROM, wiping isn't needed, but won't hurt.
Changelog:
9/5/15: Initial Release.
Kernel source code: Download
Thanks, will flash tomorrow.
Thank you so much freeza!! Patiently waiting for the deodexed version and for the baseband.
Added modified stock kernel v1.1 and baseband.
Freeza if I'm on 5.0.1 still just flashing the baseband may give me better service ? Technically...
Downloading now still waiting on the deodex will play with the stock to see how it is thanks
Ok, flashed rom, kernel, and modem. Took a while to boot but all is running well at the moment. Thanks for supporting our device!!
DeOdex uploading....
What What!!! By far the best developer on a Samsung!! Thank you so much for your hard work brother!! Real Talk, i still have your rom on my Note 3! It runs flawlessly!! XD
Get your DeOdex on, guys! ;D
Thanks so much for this!!! I love the separate edge screen and have no reason to "upgrade" to the Note 5
Thank you freeza NICE WORK WITH THE KERNEL
When I saw you had been requested to come help this phone achieve root I knew great things were going to come to those who waited. I've had other devices where you were there to help gain root and again you came through. I purposely didn't take the OG1 update because I knew in time this device wasn't going to be ignored. IMO it is the best NOTE device out there and it will be mine until they make a NOTE EDGE 2 (With SD card and removable battery). Thank you for the quick response and the hard work you do to make this happen.
Cant get either one of them to boot. Both the odex and the deodex wont boot, they both flash fine and then after the phone reboots it stays on the yellow sprint screen Maybe for up to a minute then reboots and it cycles that way. Never boots. I've tried not wiping/Factory restarting as well as wiping/Factory resetting. Have also tried formatting through TWRP to no avail. Have also tried flashing the kernel and wiping caches after flashing but Nothing is working. Have also flashed the baseband.
Im currently on OF6 if that should matter.
Edit: md5 Sums have also match up. Have downloaded both from my phone and a pc to no avail.
Edit 2: tried both TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.7.0. Also tried clockworkmod recovery and that didn't work either.
I had success but it took some time. I downloaded the deodexed debloated rom, the kernel, and the baseband. I had a method to how I wanted to do this and here is how i got there.
I was running OC8 rom rooted.
1. I odened the baseband tar file and rebooted. But unfortunately it bootlooped on the initial splash screen (note edge) so
2. I ran TWRP recovery and installed the kernel file. Rebooted phone and it ran fine. I looked at the settings about phone and saw that the baseband and the rom all said OG1 but i had not installed the rom yet. So i figure it was a trick to get the baseband to install. So
3. I went back into recovery. Wiped dalvik cache and regular cache and installed the new rom. It installed fine and i waited the length of time for the initial boot up. But this time as it was "Android is starting" it rebooted and got stuck on the sprint splash screen and kept randomally vibrating. Having the ability to remove the battery
4. Rebooted back into recovery, wiped everything including internal storage, and reinstalled the deodexed rom. It installed fine and went to the initial startup screen where it tries to initialize and it rebooted one time, back to the initialize screen but continued without a hitch.
I currently am running OG1 5.1.1. With root.
At times during setting up the phone it would randomally vibrate for no reason...short bursts...but it hasn't yet again rebooted, restarted, or crashed. It is faster from what i see. Probably because there are almost no google apps installed. I've had to install chrome, youtube, and maps. But all seems fine. My signal and speeds are the same so the baseband didn't do much to change that. But so far so good.

I did try to install over my odexed OC8 with this new rom but because there is so much different about the files that are installed IMO formatting the phone was the only way to get this to work.

One final thing just in case it isn't known: when you wipe everything in TWRP, excluding external storage, you have to restart the recovery before trying to install a rom. It will say you have no OS installed, but you are restarting the recovery not booting a rom, so that's fine, but you do lose root status when wiping. So the next screen gives you the ability to gain root again, but you have to restart TWRP to do that. In the past i tried to figure out why installing after wiping didn't work, and 99% of the time it was because of that. I also don't like installing new roms over older roms (even if they are the same base (touchwiz to touchwiz)) because i feel I would spend more time troubleshooting why something isn't working instead of just starting over. I find less hassle doing it this way.
I odin baseband .tar file, than reboot it to recovery, and flash kernal and odex room at the same time, saw some red messages when kernel was flashing, than odex rom was next but it was successful when it was done. (I did not know if kernel falsh ok so i reflash kernel again) reboot to system and after the android system updated all its ok. No problems so far.
Oh and i inclided the supersu at the same time i flash kernel, odex rom and supersu.
1. Odin baseband tar file.
2. Flash kernel, odex rom and supersu.
3. Re-flash kernel.
4. Reboot to system and profit.
(Maybe i did un necessary steps, but its working. )
Was running great but have been experiencing Google account and store issues. Tried odex and deodex versions with similar results. Anyone else having issues?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just starting to have random freezing. And not able to select my apps froms the edge screen, i can only scroll through it. Will remove all the app shorcuts and re-add tham again.
**update 1.
I removed all shorcuts from the edge screen and added them back, all work but some i have to select them a few times before they open.
Maybe i have to reflash, reset, clean and wipe.
**update 2.
Clean install of odex rom, and kernal 1.1.
No more lagg but the edge screen does not work properly. Not able to select and open some of the favorite app shorcuts.
**update 3.
Factory reset, cleaned and wype, odin sprint lollipop update (uf something), downloaded OG1 update. Installed all apps from scratch. And the edge screen does not work. I can scroll, side to side, up and down, but when i select an app it does not open it.
** update (last one)
Foud the code to test the phone hardware.
*#0*# on dial screen. Tested all and it came out good. But i notice that some how the edge screen its not as whide as it used to be ( like its more to the right of the phone) so where i use to touch to select an app its now more to the right emd of the edge, thats why i was able to scroll but not select the app.
Its all good now. Now second round of flashing.
Will give it another try at the room.
Thanks Freeza and sorry about the problems i had and hopefully did not cause anyone from not trying this great work pr yours.
I left all the problems i had so tje next person trying this room does not get discureged from trying. But allways fallow direction.
:thumbup:
** last update
After setting and resetting, flashing and un-flashing, rooting and un-rooting. I can finally wrote that all is good. Running latest lollipop 5.1.1 and freeza's new 1.1 kernel, I can reprt that all is smooth as butter.
Thanks for the hard work.
Thank you so much for your hard work Freeza! So glad I'm finally running 5.1.1 on this beast :]
The ROM is working pretty well, but I have noticed that every now and then, the phone will be rather laggy. Turning the screen off and on again seems to fix the issue, making me think that the processor is being throttled while the screen is off (good) but isn't being sped back up when the screen is turned on..sometimes.
It's not a huge deal, but I was wondering if anyone was experiencing the same thing.
No issues here.
Starting on OG1 had to flash bootloader, kernel, deodex rom and supersu to make it stick. Two days now and battery, signal and speed seem improved.
Thanks freeza!
