Hi,sorry for disturbing,but I need your help in reviving my gf's note 2

I bought my gf a note 2. I updated to latest version,DMF2, rooted with CF auto root,backup efs.

But I don't know why the phone got no radio/data. After reading through forums,I suspect it's the EFS folder damage? So I restored the efs I backup earlier. At first boot after restore still no signal,so I restarted the phone and got the signal,imei,mac address everything back. But the EFS seems to corrupt again when I reboot the phone the next time.

I then restored the EFS again and first boot no signal,second boot got back signal/imei/mac address everything working, third boot EFS corrupt again.

I got 2 backups of EFS.img at my PC,I tried to restored both but both give the same result.

Never installed custom rom on the phone,just need root to use some apps.

Anybody please advice what to do?Thanks

Hi bro,thanks for the quick reply. Yup I did check the first post and did some readings through XDA

But I am not familiar with samsung system. I did flashed the recommended modem(mf1) from ROM XXDMF2-XME as the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...2&postcount=134

When should I flash the modem? Before or After restore of EFS? Or the power off time when I confirm the restored EFS is functioning? Very confusing, please guide me, thanks & sorry

Edit: Yes,my backup EFS imei is correct 1,same with the imei provided in the phone box also

Hi, I am currently downloading Malaysia stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...60#post31801060

I will try flashing that hopefully it works,too sad make the gift to my gf like brick now

I actually just want to root the phone,don't know how could this happen

Hi, thanks for the help. I couldn't just post the question when I face some problem without digging more into forums/tutorials. I am not noob in android, was messing with Motorola for 2.5 years and now using Xperia, so I know I should find the answer by myself first. But I am Samsung noob

I forgot I flash modem first EFS second or EFS first modem second,I tried every sequence and still ended up the signal lost after 1~2 reboots. I tried every possibility I could think of, triangle away, EFS repair, asking question here finally. After 4 hours of messing around with the phone, I tried few reboots/shutdown and finally it could still works after booting. I hope this is permanently fixed. (I not yet flash older fw to downgrade,the problem seems fixed after messing around)

Don't ask me how did I fix that, too many tries & errors I made and I can't really tell which steps fixed the problem.

Finally would like to thanks for your kind help again,appreciate

I use dock for my xz. Bluetooth for headset. SD/Sim flap I don't think we always open it. So where's the repeated opening & closing?

Btw,I used M.Defy which had flaps too. After 2 years of opening/closing of the usb flap,it was still waterproof too bad the phone was unlucky being knocked out by me (not because of water issue)

Not really, I using 0.35mm casing which enable me to charge via dock, yup, it may still break when drop, but my friend's note 2 with casing(flip case) still got the screen broken after dropping, it's all depends on your luck. I dropped my xz nakedly from 2ft luckily nothing happen

Oh ya, Samsung quoted him 800 for screen replacement, not much difference from Sony

No, it's not back cover replacement casing, the casing covers all back and side without replacing of the back cover, so it's a 'case'.
