[Completed] Correct Imei - no network available [GT-N7100]

Hi im new in this forum, I tried to search extensively in this forum and some people have similar issues like me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy note 2 GT-N7100.
When I received this phone was in 4.3 jelly bean and i made a successful upgrade to 4.4.2 kit kat, and I don't remember well why, but I needed to get back to 4.3 and the process corrupted my imei to generic one.
I tried everything to fix it like changing modems, flashing another roms and nothing works, so... a few weeks I contact a Poland guy who fixes my corrupted imei remotely and everything was fine, my original imei back.
Now I have my imei, but same issue, No network registered, I have signal network, also my sim is recognised (virgin mobile) and I was researching here about that, but nothing works...
My phone is not reported or something like that, so I don't know what can I do now
I don't know what any info you guys need to help me
Today i'm testing with stock firmware 4.3 (i'm from Chile) and trying the N7100UBUEMK4 ROM, flashed "Patched_N7100_MK4_KERNEL" and "Patched_N7100_XXUEMJ5_Modem" trying to fix this issue, but nothing change. Also, this solution kills my wifi, so I'm discarding this option for now
Sorry for my english and thanks for your time
PS: I need to add some information, but i don't know if is relevant, when I go to the network configuration to add "manually" a network show me three different companies (Movistar, Entel and Claro) (and I'm Virgin mobile) "Movistar" seems to be "unlocked" but it fails when It try it "Cannot connect now try later". Claro and Entel immediatly fail

Greetings and welcome to assist. I think the issue maybe related to downgrading, have you tired using kies emergency firmware recovery ? That should put the phone back to its original state
Good Luck

Hi, and thanks for welcoming!.
I was trying right now but Kies doesn't recognising my N7100, but Odin did it, is there a pre requirement for kies?
If I don't open Odin, kies does nothing, but If I open Odin first, and then Kies... Says "Connecting" and after a time said: "Device not responding"
I did not know about Kies emergency firmware recovery so I was following some tutorial, and it said I must be in Download mode, etc.
Anyway, I think my device is "clean" at the moment, after flashing 4.3 stock from odin, I didn't root or flashed custom recovery at the moment

Do you have the drivers installed ? You can try smart switch as well as kies and just select emergency firmware then follow the instructions. There is always mskips tookit as well, he has a thread in the n2 forums plus skipsoft.net

Drivers okey, I tried Smart Switch and recognize my N7100 but can not use the emergency firmware recovery, says I can not initialize.
And I can not download mskip's toolkit right now, the server is down apparently: crying:
If toolkit fails do I have a chance with another solution? I'm running out of ideas on how to fix this
Thanks for your time
EDIT: skipsoft is back, I'm gonna try it now
EDIT2: Okey, I'm kinda lost right now, with this tool (mskip toolkit) it looks amazing, a lot of options, but I don't find nothing that can help me with my issue, about flashing stock firmwares I assume I must download them first, but I really tested a lot of roms (stock and custom) and I don't know how to identify the real problem, if is a modem problem, or just the sim doesn't works in this device

[GUIDE] How to install android oreo beta. UK only.

Hi everyone,
I found a way to install the latest beta on Galaxy s8 in a few steps:
First of all you need to download the UK version of Android Nougat and Odin.
Download the firmware from here: drive.google.com/file/d/1c2AHqYbIFfVK0MVb6Kq1A1CoRsN5H19w/view
Odin: dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.12.7.zip
1. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Power + Volume Down + Bixby buttons)
2.Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
3. Add the firmware file to AP / PDA and start it
After the install it`s complete you can register in beta program with Samsung Members app.
Open the Samsung Members app on the Galaxy S8 or , tapping the Register for Galaxy Beta Program option under the Notices section of the app’s Home tab, and then tapping the image promoting the Galaxy beta. After agreeing to the terms and conditions, you’ll see an option to enroll.
I am not responsable if you damage your phone.

Hi there,
Thanks for the guide. Quick question, does this work with just installing the Firmware/AP file and not the other CSC, bootloader files?
This would mean the phone would not need to be wiped since the CSC file is not flashed in the ODIN..
Cheers
PS: As there is no home button on the S8, I think you mean Vol up, Vol Dn & Pwr.

You need a uk sim

No, just the firmware

i have been literally dying for weeks ever since beta came out to get this, but it's only a matter for a couple more weeks till the official arrives so i think i'll just wait, thank you for the method though

This is a multi CSC firmware, how does the firmware sets the CSC to BTU if there is no UK sim?

OP has no idea what he is talking about. Thread should be closed asap

1. misleading guide and lack of knowledge might cause problems to people who try flasing their galaxy s8... DON'T TRY IT
2. you MUST have an UK sim and an UK phone and be geographically into UK to do it.
3. the guide is copied from another phone thread since we don't have a HOME button

Guys the OP says nothing about home button just the home tab on samsung members tab...
Also this would be just for UK if I am not mistaken so I will change the title to UK only Other than that this guide is as straightforward as can be..In my opinion

Home tab in sammy members app not home button

I don't know very much about CSC and whatever it's there,but I tried a method ,it worked and wanted to show to others..
And it's worked without sim to be located in uk

You don't know very much about anything pertaining to the matter at hand. UK uses the OXM multi-CSC, you need to factory reset the phone with a UK sim to change the active CSC.

Probably you re right..but it worked without a sim card..

they mean originally he wrote volume down + home + power, but the first comment corrected him so he edited the thread and made it the bixby instead of home button

GEAR S3 Classic stuck on Startup screen

hi guys,
my watch is stuck on "Samsung Gear S3 Classic" startup screen after trying to change the CSC code via reflashing by this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/succesfully-changed-csc-to-xar-to-t3718236
I have tried recovery mode and it still comes back to this screen.
I have tried reflashing it with NetOdin but the wireless downloading screen is stuck and never actually gets past the initial Wireless download screen with the pinwheel thing.
Whatever i do, it is stuck at the gear s3 classic screen and will not go past it.
is there any way to reset/reflash the gear without using the wireless download mode??
please help

Sorry...
Seems you are here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wireless-mode-enter-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3710855
To change settings in netOdin is WRONG suggestion... but now is too late...

Question BootLoop Galaxy Watch4

Hello. This problem started when my phone and watch dint want to connect through Bluetooth I restarted my phone but still wouldn't connect then I tried to power off my watch BIG MISTAKE. Then i entered boot loop watch would turn on normally but when it got to the pin screen if I would enter the pin after about 10 sec the watch would completely freeze then second time I let it sit at the pin screen but still watch would freeze and there was nothing I could do. I tried rebooting it and wiping cache and factory reset and still it would start but when it got to the setup where I need to connect with my phone it would freeze and restart and restart every time and sometime instead of saying galaxy watch4 it would say freshbl I don't know what that means I have never seen it say that or anything else I know my way around electronics PC's watches etc. but this is the first time I had a problem with this. I suspect it has to do something with Knox. And i forgot to say that i couldn't update my watch it would get stuck in copying update and just throws an error maybe it corrupted a system file while copying it.

Question New GW4 fails to update to One UI 4.5

Hi guys,
So I got my new GW4 yesterday, and I have been trying to get it to update to the latest version but to no avail.
Every time the update will reach 25% and then fail.
Have tried updating with/without phone and after factory reset/ wiping cache as well.
Not sure what to do, but I suspect the issue is caused by the watch shipping with older firmware.
Any help would be appreciated!
Model No: SM-R870
Software Version: R870XXU1FVC8
Phone: S20 FE 5G
Location: India

Hello.
Fail after 25 % I know.... from my rooted SM-R870...
I thought it is because Root...
Fixed by downgrade Firmware.... from EVA8 to DUK1...
Then FOTA worked from DUK1 to FVD4 to GVH2...
I have few ideas to try...
BUT before...
Can you check/confirm it is active CSC INU for India?
Checklist:
A
INU CSC?
If you need help how to identify write here...
B
Maybe by mistake or... adventure...
Is Bootloader unlocked?
C
I have EVA8 and DUK1 as Full firmware for netOdin...
If the hard way required...
But first please check if INU is your active CSC.
Best Regards

Easy method to check if Bootloader is unlocked...
SELECT REBOOT MODE
.
.
.
Bootloader lock
Power off
Normal locked Bootloader shows this:
SELECT REBOOT MODE
.
.
.
Bootloader unlock
Power off
I have NO idea if FOTA engine allows unlocked Bootloader...
Best Regards

Hi,
A) Yep CSC is INU. I dialled *#272*719434266344#, and the option was to change from INU.
B) Yep bootloader is locked. I haven't changed a thing from defaults.
C) Hmm, maybe that is the only option.
Thanks

This means you downgrade from FVC8 to older EVA8.
