You need to send MSL & Samsung password. Without both it won't write.

still won't write
What is it showing in DFS Log - Once u send both across - Password & SPC ?
Sorry my comment isn't any help but messing around with "tools" to flash to other services is delving into dangerous territory IMO if you don't 100% know what you're doing. You could possibly brick the phone to the point where a full Odin flash won't fix!

Hello everyone...
I bricked my galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120L) when I wanted to flash the TeamLeader 1.3 ROM. I managed to have it unbricked, but now I have a modem problem.
The phone is stuck in flightmode, and impossible to disable it.
What do you think I should do now?
Thanks,
Mark
What did you do specifically that blocked it in the first place, aside from trying to install the rom, is that specific rom not compatible with the S2 HD LTE?
I would say reflash a STABLE rom or try flashing a MODEM and see what that does for you, unless you're not sure why it got bricked in the first instance, or you're confident enough that if anything went wrong you can bring it back again
Did you check for your imei number in settings?

Almost got a similar problem here...
phone got struck in flight mode or no mobile network is detected... i dialled in the dialer to make it show the IMEI no... it said IMEI:____________ well nothing
Info: i am on my stock ROM, not rooted nothing... 2.3.6
i uninstalled norton internet security, that's where this problem started... (it actually asked me whether i wanted to renew the norton software, since my 60 days license is got over...)
Thanks in advance!!

I got the EL bricked because I wanted to flash the TeamLeader ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468998) with Odin. In that process something must have gone wrong because I had an error. And then I made the capital mistake of rebooting the phone. Since then it was bricked.
Is the MODEM part of the TeamLeader ROM or where can I find an adequate modem to flash?
Also, I didn't make a backup of the original efs directory. Stupid, I know.

I didn't make a backup of the efs directory, so the original IMEI is lost I'm afraid.
Hi all. My colleague owns a Verizon Note 2 flashed to Visafone Nigeria, and he also uses it for his GSM networks sometimes when he is out of Visafone coverage area. The device has been working ok until recently. The mystery is that he cannot recollect what he was doing with it prior to the baseband snafu. As of now the device is a semi brick; it boots up normally, but no service... either CDMA or GSM. I looked at 'About Device' and it says Baseband Unknown. No hardware version also. I tried initially to reflash the device thinking it was bad network parameters. DIAG mode is ok, even gives me a COM port but DFS cannot read the device, neither can CDMAWS nor QPST; however, they all see the DIAG COM port but cannot read the device. I was baffled again when I tried the latest CASUAL Jailbreak and it worked fine. I unlocked, rooted and installed CWM recovery. Still DFS cannot read the device. I got a CWM flashable VRAJLB modem zip and flashed. CWM said it flashed ok, without errors, but still baseband unknown. I am at my wit's end right now. Any help please?

Done Odin at least ten times onvthus devices. It flashes stuff ok, but still same problem.
No service and unknown baseband. Even flashed VRALJB radio from Odin and CWM version too, still same same...
If this doesnt work, I would say you need to get a new phone.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've already tried this and the blasted baseband is still laughing at me and saying 'unknown'. I'm going to try shipping the phone to some shop in the US that says they can repair IMEI. Hopefully that will fix the baseband issue too.

Be careful doing that, you may never see the phone again. Just my opinion, keep googling and try to figure it out

My phone is a verizon galaxy note 2 USA verizon that took the vram ota update. Then this -
Hello,
To make a long story as short as possible. I used Adam Outlers Casual to flash my phone to beanstown's "jellybeans" rom. Everything was fine until I didnt like the volume not being able to go high. So using odin I checked the "nand erase all" like an idiot and flashed back to the stock unrooted rom using the pit file and the unrooted stock md5.
Now what happens:
Now the phone boots up but might be stuck in read only mode I am not sure and need help. Because when plugged into the computer it shows -104843489764 bytes for storage and won't let anything download to the phone. When I turned the cam on it says "not enough memory" and the worst part is it says "no sim card" and can't connect to the network for phone calls, texts or internet.
I can enter download mode. I can enter recovery mode. But all my attempts at using the repartition button while flashing again to stock rom did not work. I believe maybe I somehow have to format and repartition the internal storage? It won't let me flash clockworkmod using odin so I guess I have unrooted it. Im just mentioning all the things I have tried. Thank you very much for any help you can give.
Try refreshing the PIT file in Odin which should fix all of the partitions.
Also, a hard brick is only when your phone won't turn on, period. You have a soft brick which should be fixable.

Thank you for your help Sir.
I have the PIT file, and I used that when I flashed back to the stock verizon rom using Odin. Is there a way to use it by itself?

You should be able to open Odin and Judy flash it by itself. No extra steps needed.

Hello again,
This thread for the galaxy s3 shows how to unbrick the phone that is in read-only mode. I know mine is too just like it says but I cant find the files for my phone or any other information on how to get my verizon note 2 out of read only or make sure it is formatted correctly to reinstall the stock rom. Here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
"Sometimes when you flash a ROM (TouchWiz or AOSP), there is a risk of the /system and /data partitions not wiping correctly thus leading them to be formatted with R/O permissions rather than R/W. This makes it impossible for the phone to boot up because no data can be written."
What really concerns me also is when it's plugged in through USB and I click the drive for the internal storage it shows as having -1049874323 bytes of space instead of the usual 9gig free.
Email me with snapshot of the problem.... Nikhil.kdhand at gmail.com

Try using ODIN and flashing the stock tar file. That should set you straight. You should be able to find what you need in the Android Dev section. If you are new to ODIN, open the app on your pc, click PDA, find the stock tar file, ensure "repartition" is unchecked and hit start. That should get you back to 100% stock. Do any applicable system updates and attempt the root process again. If you have any troubles look for qbking77's Note 3 root guide. Good luck. If all else fails I'd try a return and hope they don't know how to check for the flash flags.

Bricked note 3/help
Tried to root my NOTE 3 through Odin and instructions here and is bricked stuck at the screen below.. Anyone can help or recommend a repair place in NYC?
I had the same problem, except my problem was when I tried to restore nandroid back up....the root, and flashing of the rom went well.
I went to restore my nandroid back up, and it started bootlooping. This was the 2nd time this issue occurred, the first time downloading the tar resolved it. The second time it did not.
Nice dude..glad all worked out!

As I'm on a Mac will try to reconstruct the scene
On Kies go to Tools and choose Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
After some prompts for inputing first the Model number and the S/N, Kies will start downloading the software and will prompt you when to connect your phone..
Very easy....

Where did you find the serial number? The numbers on the box and under the battery don't work for me so I can't get past that screen.

Well, that's exactly what I used what was below the battery and the box... without those you can't really move forward... does it give you an error when you log in with those?

Yeah says they're invalid serial numbers. I asked a buddy of mine to give me his numbers and I get the same error with his. I did the DEC number as both full XXXXXXXXXXXXX and XXX XXX XXX XXX etc ...
Neither work. Also tried with HEX. Guess I'm just seriously SOL.
So, accidentally flashed a N7100 bootloader to my phone, since it was linked in a thread for the ROM I was using, now the phone shows GT-N7100 in Download mode and odin won't flash anything.
I've read about, and tried the KABOL(i think that's his name) resistor trick, but for some reason it will not work for me. Is there ANY other way(other than sending it off and paying $50) to get this phone to work again?

Unfortunately no, the only ways are the resistor trick or sending it off to I believe it was mobiletechvideos or something like that.

actually, believe it or not -- I just recovered my Note without having to do the resistor trick, after flashing the International version baseband. My Download Mode says N7100, my phone says GT-N7105 and I have working Voice, Text and Data.
