guys, i have a very rough day about a note 2 i bought today.. hope anyone can give me guidance or offer me a service to resurrect my note 2..

today about 8am me and a forumer meet at salak selatan to cod for a note 2.. im the buyer. we have a deal last night and cod in the morning. when cod i expect everything to be nice and i want a smooth deal because its early in the morning and everyone got other things to do so i check the phone appearance and firmware version only. everything seems nice till i get home to test the phone and put a simcard. i got no network so i decide to check for simcard by trying on other phones.. sim working. i put back on the phone still not network and such.. i do a few reboot and factory resets but still no go. i google for answers maybe it just some bug or setting is not right.. but i couldnt find anything till  i read about imei number.

so i check the imei number of this phone, its wierd and i search for that imei in the web it turns out to be something wrong with the EFS file? i did some reading and i found that this is due to flashing roms without backup the EFS partition. i check the phone thoroughly and i found superuser  app which mean the device is rooted right? i didnt notice this earlier. i try to update the phone but cant because the firmware status is modified. then i ask the seller bout this phone cant connect to network but he said yesterday he still use it fine. i tried to find some solution in the web, xda forum mostly but its very hard and need the backup of the EFS partition.

004999010640000 is the current imei and i look under the battery, the original imei is very different, everybody post in the web about the exact imei i got now. its a bad imei. so i decide to go for a refund, i kindly ask the seller for a refund coz i really need the money coz i urgently need to use a smartphone. but he didnt reply, i keep asking for refund i even lowered the price so i could just use the money to buy other phone but still he didnt want. i know its also my fault not checking the phone thoroughly upon purchasing because before this, every deal i made went smooth.

so guy, what can i really do about this phone? do anyone here know how to repair the imei to original one? does anyone here provide such service? i spent almost a day in front of my PC looking for this matter but still no go. hope someone kind enough willing to help me out. tq

Heheheh, don't think so la bro. It's a birthday gift, so it has a sentimental value to me

well ZoidbergFry if you think i am rude and tak puas you can come usj 2 find me, i help you root and flash jellybam as minta ampun hahaha.

eh? you also don't know how to root and flash?     

no time for that, in the midst of cooking my own rom now. speaking of which, i wonder what name to give it. stalker ROM? specially for alex lolol.

Guys a friend is offering RM 650 for a pristine Note 2, I can sell my S2 for RM450 COD, should I upgrade?

Guys, I just got my note 2 yesterday and I found out that the s pen is not so responsive near the bottom right of the screen next to the home button, is this common?

when I use light pressure on that part, it is not responsive, unless I press hard. Finger touch don't have problem though.

Welcome !!!

I think this is normal, coz it is tuned for right handed text input, so it is palm rejection in action. This was raised when the Note 2 first arrived. I forgot but I read somewhere it's normal.
EDIT: jakgelap may also be correct. Cases with magnets will interfere with screen sensitivity.
Do read page 1 for info. You may focus on posts 3,4,5 if you don't want to root, and 6,7,8 if you want to root
Thanks for making the welcome, mike !!! Are you in PG or KL?
