So I was on a 4.2.2 build for the longest time and wanted to check out a KitKat ROM. So after flashing it and not caring too much for it, I went back to my backup only to find out that I have no cell service.
Can someone tell me what I need to flash via Odin or possibly recovery to get my cell service back?
I'm on beans7 with 4.2.2.
Thanks XDA peeps! Much appreciated!

So here's what I have and I've tried a few different modems from that link and no matter what, it still boots, but no cell service. Any ideas? I've tried both ME7s regular and non and even an MDK stock, but no luck :-\

Since your on MDK have you tried flashing the MDK non-hlos modem? Not just the " modem only " one.
Usually flashing a new ROM doesn't effect your modem at all so I'd usually say that it's the ROM that's the problem. But since you've been trying different modems to try and fix the problem it may good to try the non-hlos one. Also make sure whatever recovery your using is up to date.
I've had to flash the MDK non-hlos then I used the phone for a few days and ended up flashing the NC5 one without issue.

Root has nothing to do with signal.
Root is some binaries pushed into system/bin and an apk put in system/app.
Try flashing a new modem and see how that works out.

thanks, or can you point me to how to reflash the original modem again?
The original modem??
Rooting doesn't change the modem so it should still be the same one.
There are a few different ones to try so see which works best for you.
I'm in Ireland on 3 and the LF5 radio is great for me since I flashed it.

Sorry still getting used to the lingo. I picked up the zip flash able for the modem you are referring to. So I can just flash in recovery? No wipe anything? How do it revert back is there is a problem. I'm on XXALF2

Did you download the .zip or the .tar?
Flash the .zip in cwm or if its the .tar one you got then flash it in Odin/mobile Odin.
You can always go back by flashing the original one back again.
I'll post a link for it in a sec once I upload it to drop box.

My current baseband is XXLF2, it's not listed with your links. How can I revert if something happens? Also are they listed in order of release, I'm in the USA if you can recommend one.
Thanks for everything

Its the XXALF2 link.
You can try all 3 and see which is best.
XXLF2 was pretty good for me, DXLEA was only OK and XXLF5 works best for ME! YMMV.
try them out, it won't do any harm.
Search for mobile Odin on xda and download it and it makes everything extremely simple.
Just pick the file and mobile Odin does the rest.

Cant see anything relevant from the attached screenshots, so I can't just flash these in recovery one by one?
You can't flash .tar files I'm recovery, they are for Odin only.
Download mobile Odin lite from that page you posted and the flash kernel for I9300 in the 3rd or 4th post.
Otherwise just use Odin on your PC.
You may be able to find .zips to flash in recovery if you search.
Also you could buy Odin pro from play store and it will download flash kernel automatically so all you need to do is open it, select the modem file and hit flash.
Just to be 100% certain, you have the international version right?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks. So all I have to do is browse to the tar file and hit flash. I'm still on the free version.
And this won't affect my phones performance just the radio?
Finally I can revert to everything back by flashing the first link? Thanks

Hi,
Yes, you can flash the AT&T firmware to the Rogers Note. I have flashed many firmwares onto my Rogers Note with no issues so far. Just make sure that you follow the steps completely or else you risk having a bricked device.
Do you know where theres a guide I cant find anything on how to do it

Do you have something to flash roms with? Like TWRP2 or CWM?
If so, the steps are pretty straight forward for most roms:
1) Wipe Cache / Factory Reset
2) Install ROM
3) Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Sometimes there can be a Step 2b where you need to flash GAPPS.
If you don't have TWRP2 or CWM (I prefer TWRP2) you can find it here for the Note:
TWRP2
EDIT: These are the steps are what I've seen for ATT roms on Rogers. I have an ATT Note and cannot confirm this for you, but I've seen others have success.

Does the same process work to put it on tmobile?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Yes. You will have to root the phone first to put another carrier's firmware on the phone. And then you will have to find the ROM of your choice. Most unrooted stock ROMs are going to be odin flashable *.tar files. And I don't believe they can be flashed to a different phone. Your best choice in my opinion would be to look for a stock rooted version that can be flashed by a custom recovery.

Well you didnt want that modem anyway. You want UCLF6. If you flashed using odin there should have been a new modem installed too. Will have to look for the radio to be flashed by odin. Searching now.
Here is a link for the entire UCLF6 ROM with the modem(baseband) included: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162779447/3bb6230/I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_ATT.zip.html

Sorry I really can't help you anymore than that. I originally thought you couldn't even flash a stock ROM through odin on a different carrier's phone but I now believe you can. And if you can then that ROM I directed you to would have wiped and made your phone to look exactly like the ATT version including the baseband. You followed that tutorial to a tee? Did you use odin to install the ATT ROM originally? Must be something we are missing here. Hope one of the pros chime in.

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
The latest is VRAMC3...but the changes were minor and if you have no issues on VRALL3 you don't necessarily need to update it. If you want to anyway you just need to flash the new modem in recovery. Search for Vramc3 and you will get the link to download it. You could also wait and flash it whenever build 20 comes out and you flash that...two birds, one stone.

Yep, that's it. Flash in recovery just like you did with the ROM. But if you aren't having any issues you could also wait for your next ROM flash. Just flash the ROM first, and then the modem. Either way...just don't expect anything major to change with VRAMC3, I sure didn't notice anything.
Whats the newest baseband out?
All my Note 2s are using old Roms ive had radio issues using lollipop. Just wanted to make sure my baseband is current.
Reason being is everytime I goto Canada now from the US I gotta switch to GSM instead of CDMA to get service. It used to be okay leaving it on CDMA.
Also I get nothing using the Global selection in the US or Canada…

Hello,
I saw your post and want to use safestrap to install a custom rom. I just don't have $750 laying around, so I need to be sure that I can reset everything to bone stock. I am running me7 firmware and have already obtained vrzme7nowipe.zip. I just HAVE to reset the flash counter if safestrap effects it at all. Can you please help?
Trying to put my Note 3 back to stock so I can get the Kit Kat update. Download the stock 4.3 firmware and used Odin to flash it. But as seen in the pictures, it failed. Now I can't even turn it on. When I do, it shows the message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Any help would be appreciated.
