Flashing stock firmware on my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy note 4. - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my issue is this, I simply can not put my dang stock firmware back on my phone. It keeps failing when I use Odin and try to flash it. I've tried a few different baseband versions and none of them work. I can flash any custom ROM of my choosing. I'm currently running CM 12.1 with TWRP as my recovery. I have no clue what bootloader I'm on. Not sure how to check that or if it matters. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Play store find phone info samsung it will tell you everything you need to know about your firmware.
My guess is your on new firmware and from my understanding can't go backwards.

[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?

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!
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Trying to bring 8.9 wifi US back to stock

Hello all, I'd like to apologize in advance if this is covered somewhere but I searched and may just be missing it.
So here's the issue. Bought galaxy tab 8.9 wifi around when it was released. Used it for a few months. Played with a few roms and kernels, got a ****ty rom combination and just lost interest in the roms (mostly because work forced me into an iphone so I had to give up my gnex).
Fast forward a year I pick up my tablet again.
Played around with it for a day and couldn't get things restored properly.
I believe it was on a stock rom but someone elses kernel when I tried all this. But OTA update wouldn't work.
So I installed CWR through odin. Installation went fine.
Then rooted the phone through CWR, again everything working properly.
Tried to flash to most current version of AOSP and tablet and it won't boot. Screen stay's black after 20 minutes.
I can get into the tablet via Odin to repair it I'm just not sure what files I need.
So what I was looking for was to bring the tablet back to stock, if possible. To start from scratch.
I have the file for stock recovery, but not a stock kernel or stock rom. I have not been able to find these for my model of device. GT-P7310MA
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Again I apologize if this is covered somewhere else I just haven't been able to find it.
Go to sammobile.com for the stock Rom. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin, PDA. Just have auto-reboot and f.reset checked. You'll be good to go. Use Odin 1.85

I cannot find the USA region anywhere, any suggestions on which to use?
Install the custom recovery then install the new version. Twrp messes up with 10.1. USA region uses UK version. I believe null 12 is out...

[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...

Question about flashing N910TUVU2DOK2 Firmware/Baseband

I'm running an N910T with Rapture 8.2. As this ROM apparently isn't under development or support any longer, I'd like to move to another ROM that is. I'd also like to update my baseband to N910TUVU2DOK2. To update the baseband, do I need to ODIN back to stock and upgrade from there, or can I simply ODIN the baseband and move forward? I believe that I'm currently on COG1, but can't tell because I'm running a backup just now.

You always need to Odin to the full firmware that matches the ROM you want to use. Please keep in mind that once you go to 5.1.1, you'll be stuck on lollipop bootloader.

Thanks! Should I ODIN to stock, or straight to the new ROM? I rooted and flashed my old note 2 gobs of times, but the note 4 I'm not that sure about.

You use Odin to put stock firmware on and to root and add TWRP. You use TWRP to flash ROM's.

I have gone back and forth between 5.1.1, 5.0.1, and 4.4.4 roms by using odin to flash the COG2, COD6, or ANK4 firmware first, then using odin to flash autoroot and TWRP. Then use TWRP to flash the desired rom. I have no problem going from lollipop to kitkat and back. I have used the COG2 firmware for all the 5.1.1 roms, like Texxodus, Resurrection, Slim, CM12, etc. I have used COD6 for 5.0.1 like Alliance, I have used ANK4 for Firekat. I have never had a problem reverting between any of them.
Why is DOK2 different? Does it trip some kind of hardware switch, like knox? If I was on it and used odin to flash, say, the kitkat firmware, what happens? Does odin no longer work when you're on DOK? Does it crash? Does the flash appear to work but it stays on DOK? Does it flash the firmware but bootloop? Does it brick the phone? I always thought that odin flashed firmware to the lowest level so that as long as you could connect the phone to a PC and had a good firmware load, you could restore it.
