[Q] No network after successful Root?

Ok folks,
Forgive me if this is a panic post!
I successfully rooted my note this morning, I was on LA6 firmware, Downgraded and rooted without any problems.
I noticed that I only had "emergency calls only" after the reboot, so went into mobile network settings and managed to get a signal on my network (3uk) although it dropped again when I rebooted again?
Right after the Rooting was done, I backed up my EFS folder as stated is best practice, then backed up the stock rom.
I thought that maybe the old baseband version was giving me the issues (I presume the notes modem is similar to the HTC radio?) so I went ahead and gave Checkrom NoteHD V6 a shot. It all installed fine and as it should but I still have the no network issue. I dont think it corrupted the efs system as I can still use wifi and my IMEI number is still there.
Any ideas for a new note owner?
Edit:
-----------
I did make note that I was on Baseband XXLA4 before rooting or flashing anything, is it safe to go ahead and flash it from the modems thread via CWM? Should this help?
any pointers if doing so?

You may have already tried this but are your APN settings correct?
They may change or get deleted between ROM flashes
Also what modem do you have and baseband in the about phone menu right now?

Wow, that was quick!
My APN settings all seem fine. The preset for three.co.uk were still there and the settings inside seem intact.
Im currently running baseband XXLB2.

Then it should work your modem is not old and your APN is fine
Maybe try putting another SIM or another carrier

As ive put in the edit to the OP, is it safe to try to flash back to the XXLA4 modem? If all else fails that is?

Yes it's safe, I've done it many times

How did you root your note? I am on 3 in the UK with same firmware, have been looking around but not much progress.
Cheers.

First thing first...
- do the hard reset Vol Up + Menu + Power *or* CWM Wipe everything. Reboot...
- Still no go, go and download different radio HERE and flash it

Rooted via the downgrade and zergrush method. That was all fine.
Are you rooted aswell? Having the no network issue?

Ok, followed your advice. Hard reset hasnt improved it.
So went ahead and flashed XXLA4 (my original modem) - Nothing,
Just tried the KL1 modem -Nothing! GRRRRR!
Maybe I will try to go back to stock, I was on the LA6 firmware, See if that works.

sorry m8, couldn't help much...
is that phone carrier locked?
i suggest, flash CheckRoom v6 (the most professional stock look-alike rom). If the problem still there, try flash another radio. After that if still no go... try CM9/AOSP ICS

No, no carrier lock, no branding, no nothing!
Just been racking my brains, after refering to a video link posted in the how to root galaxy note thread, I see a chap called cursed4eva created a video using ODDKL1 as the downgrade to root method. Just checked on samfirmware.com and that is Indian firmware, could this cause my network issue?
Im in the process of downloading the lastest Uk firmware now.
If it was the case that this indian firmware was causing the issue, wouldnt flashing checkrom fix it? I didnt seem to for me?
Anyway, rooting around on the samfirmware pages, ive found a directly rootable firmware package (KK3) that was a carphone warehouse UK one.
If I get network back from the latest firmware, im going to downgrade to the above mentioned carphone warehouse package, Root, and try again.
I will post back some results ASAP.

you can flash any rom, but the main problem is the radio. different country got different radio.

I hate to be a pain, but please could you throw me a link to these, they may come in helpful as my carrier wants me to send the phone to them for repair. I dont really want to do that. Their turn around can be horrendous!

Flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders, then flash Corn Kernel and get back to the ROM you want to use as per their full instructions.

so you mean i have to install this??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

Yep... But 1st if u have the same cm10 kernel that you made the back up with, you could flash it through Odin (or the recovery you have now, if you can boot into that recovery) and then use the button combo to reboot to that cm10's recovery and then restore your backup.
Or i may have misunderstood where you made your back up. If it was on Corn Kernel...then you must do as BWolf56 posted.

Ok... I am 'Newbie'...
I Did things... Now I am running 'Captivating by sepphi' - The problem is little signals and gets really slow when installed Google map...
I also tried 'Lanight 4.1.2' Good but problem was with camera - It stops working. Also little bit with signals...
Now I read about 'Modem' - And not understanding what it is? Why, when and how to install it?
I just understood that If radio problem [Network etc...] Then different Modems could work based on your location...
Thats where I found this thread and I am also from India and you seem expert in this... Can you guide me what should I be doing to get read of this Network Problem?

Flashing a modem is fairly simple, you download it and flash it in recovery. One thing though, make sure you flash a i9000 modem: http://soggycashew.weebly.com/i9000-modems.html
You'll have to test them as we can't tell which one will work the best in your area.

No, if you were already on a Gingerbread ROM you never have to change bootloaders again.

Problem restoring IMEI

I'm now starting to bang my head against the wall. I ave just bought an Orange locked I9305 which I only wanted to unlock to use on another network. Unfortunately I couldn't unlock it as it came with 4.1.2. I read that I had to downgrade to 4.1.1 which is where the problems started. I followed the instructions at the start of this post and made a backup of my IMEI / NV Data which went well. I then installed Odin and tried to install
Product Code: GT-I9305TADEVR (4.1.1) (EE UK)
PDA: XXALI5
PHONE: BVALI5
CSC: EVRALI5
Released: 17/09/2012
from the Pre-Rooted / Original Stock Odin Packages! thread.
I thought this had gone well but it got stuck rebooting at the Samsung screen after the start up swirling screen for at least an hour. I then tried to install the
Product Code: GT-I9305TADEVR (4.1.1) (EE UK)
PDA: XXALK3
PHONE: XXALK2
CSC: EVRALI5
This also got stuck and after another hour I tried to install a stock rom from http://samsung-updates.com/ which was I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5_I9305BVALI5_HOME.tar.md5
This worked and it installed 4.1.1 but when I went to unlock the phone it didn't have any of the menus and when I checked the IMEI it said null / null.
I then though that this isn't too bad as I can just restore the IMEI but when I tried to connect through QPST it sees the port (Com3) but cannot see the phone so I cannot do the restore.
I have tried re-installing QPST after deleting anything in the registry that mentions it, I have re-installed the samsung drivers, I have flashed Param_Bin_I9305.tar.md5 with odin, have rooted properly as there was no superuser app with both busybox and I9305 clockwork mod. These worked ok as I was able to install triangle away and use it and have supersu in my apps.
Does anyone have a clue as to what I can try next as thinking of going back to HTC as I have had there phones since windows and never had a problem rooting and unlocking them
Just a thought I have looked at the box and it says the phone is I9305 PM will this make a difference

After the initial downgrade all you had to do was reset to factory settings to make it boot again (recovery mode). I would suggest installing the ROM that came with the phone to see if it magically springs back to life.

Restoring back ime
I had the same problem yesterday, but luckily for me i restore back my IME by flashing the paraffin with odin. But the rom on it as at the time when i lost my IME was warmalite. Try the warmalite and then the paraffin this might help.

Thanks guys,
I finally sorted it as it must be a problem with the Pre-Rooted / Original Stock Odin Packages. I finally got it to work by flashing a different kernel, I then unlocked the phone to any network and flashed a 4.1.2 Pre-Rooted / Original Stock Odin Package where it lost all its IMEI again. Flashed a new kernel and all working as I wanted it too as it's now unlocked on 4.1.2.

Is this new kernel you are flashing the Perseus kernel by any chance?

The difference is, if I am correct, you are no longer able to use any other kernel. Stock kernels, as well as CyanogenMod or other AOSP-based kernels will no longer properly set up your modem for you, you will need to always run Samsung-based ROMs with a Perseus kernel.
The same is happening with my device, and I have seen a few others as well.

Oh well at least the phone is working now where as before I couldn't even restore my IMEI, Just got to hope the phone doesn't break then as I don't think I would be able to send it back with that kernel

Right! It happens with my device as well.
I recently tried Adam Kernel which you can download using the Update Me App in Ripper ROM and it worked, my phone worked. So right now you can either use Perseus Kernel which is really good or use Adam Kernel which is far close to the stock one. That kernel isn't in a thread, you have to install Ripper ROM and then download it through the Update Me App if you want to use it.
I just wanted to point that out

[Q] ML1 baseband?

So it seems I somehow have the MI1 baseband, which seems like it's the international version (?). Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't seem right. I have root, can flash roms, everything works, except for wifi. Could this be because of the baseband not being at MJ5?
I have tried to update via the AT&T OTA update, but it says I'm up to date. Can't get MI9 or MJ5.
I'm totally lost here, so if you guys have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

Are you in your stock slot? Have you flashed any ROMs with that baseband? Not sure why you would get an update if you have rooted but I'm sure if one was released you will hear about it here

[Q] Correct IMEI, but won't connect to Network

Hey guys,
i recently bought an GT-I8190 off eBay. Problem is, it won't connect to any provider's network. It doesn't even find the correct network. It's not a SIM problem, SIM in different phone will find and connect to the right provider.
IMEI is correct though. I flashed cyanogenmod 11 (goldennova) and I8190XXANI4 Baseband. Still not able to connect. I already backed up EFS.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Install by Odin latest stock rom, after restart turn off phone and go to recovery and do factory reset. After this check working connection.
Or here you find solution

Thanks for your help. But i think you got me wrong, the problem existed even before i flashed cm. I don't think it has anything to do with cm.
I am on Linux, so i used Heimdall to flash latest Stock ROM. Did a factory reset, from within android and another one from recovery. Didn't help. At least the right provider is shown now, but i still can't connect. Now i am back to where i started, before i flashed cm.
Do you think it would help, if i flash modemFS?
I also checked if my IMEI is stolen here: http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset
but I'm in germany, i don't know if their IMEI check is valid for me.
I also tried to repartition during flash, to wipe out all corrupted remainings, but heimdall fails to initialise protocol if i try to repartition. I downloaded my phone's .pit file and used that one.
Thanks in advance!

Still no success.
I tried different ROMs, Stock and Custom, even with repartitioning enabled.
I don't know what to do... must be a problem in one of the files/partitions that aren't touch by a full flash with repart, right?
Please help

are you sure is it software or rom problem? maybe its Hardware problem and you should check it in a shop or something? maybe just something inside phone broken during carrier or something.

I'm in the same boat. Have a Swiss factory unlocked phone that I was given by a friend. I decided to flash it to CM11.
I tried initially to do it via the stock recovery but when that failed to due a lack of root I did it via Android Toolkit 1.3.4 which I found through the forum. It loaded the TWRP 2.6.3 recovery and then completed the flash of novafusion CM11 no which I had had already on SD card all by itself pretty much. Before first boot I went in and flashed google apps mini and the "original logo" file that novafusion had under extras.
Upon first boot, there was no cell signal and I've been trying ever since to fix it.
Tried flashing modemfs.zip
Tried flashing versions of stock roms via odin.
Tried the latest I8190N stock rom.
Tried repartitioning via .pit method in odin.
Tried various basebands.
Tried basebands + modemfs
Tried flashing the param/logo file
I'm basically out of ideas...
