and download the file and using odin update the modem only?? (KC1)
I can't seem to find a link for modem for kc1 for odin version
1. Fired up Odin,
2. Put the phone in download mode,
3. Hooked it up to computer,
4. Using the phone tab I selected only the bin file for the KC1 modem. NOTE:
I did NOT select the partition box or use a PIT file.
5. Hit the Start Button.

you can use CW version from

Quick update...my signal at my house has never been strong but better than what i'm getting good signal in the major city...but i compared my signals in weaker areas to others and i am 2 bars less than everyone else...when i do this modem update is my gingerbread staying intact?? One of the links in the prior posting refers back to froyo. Thanks for all your help in advance.. i'll flash the modem tomorrow when i'm home and go from there. Just to add another question, now that I am in gingerbread firmware, should this phone get rooted? And if so a link to the instructions are would be great...thanks
Simply enabling 850 won't work.
Refer to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
You can use JPG, JQ1, JVK, etc, with 850mhz 3G ONLY if you follow these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=438
You MUST flash from an 850mhz base modem (UGJL2, TLJL3, UGJK3, UGJK4) to BVJJPD or BVJJPG, and then to your destination modem; specifically following the steps as noted.

Ok well I was searching rooting this phone when I came across the more stable version xwjb.
Can I still update to this even thou gh I'm on xxjvk and if I do..do I need to reflash again with modem file for signal?
Was messing about with the bands and it seems to love the 1900 band, I get 2 bars on 1900 and 850... doesnt seem to make a difference, Ill have to try it next time Im out and about
Greetings, So far I dug as far as I could in google. But still no luck. My 4.3 update on the GS4 gut buggy, So I thought I'd install back to 4.2.2 firmware using odin. Normally it succeeded. But when I inserted my Sim card, I couldn't make phone calls. Says not registered on Network. And my IMEI stated 0004...something. To save time I didn't thought of downloading the original firmware. So, I thought I could benefit from my mother's GS4 and use it's firmware unaware of the dangers. So I backed up system files from my mother's GS4 and restored it on my phone using TWRP. It booted and everything except there's completely no signal. Baseband is now UNKOWN and the IMEI is Null. I downloaded the stock firmware according to my mom's Baseband, but still no luck. I really need help. I'm beginning to lose faith in my phone and I'm afraid I'm gonna pay 40$ to fix it. I know nothing is impossible with you guys, so you are my last hope. PEACE!
You SHOULD NOT have downgraded your baseband like that, and when you did, and the trouble started, you should have searched first for solutions before trying to restore it from another device!
Anyway, now, you should flash the latest 4.3 modem or the 4.3 modem you had before, preferably flash the whole 4.3 rom again, the exact same version you had before, or the latest one, and your phone should live again properly!

You cannot downgrade it to 4.2.2, you must solve your issue over 4.3. Download your 4.3 rom o a newer rom from sammobile and flash it using odin 3.09 if you have i9505, or 3.07 of you have i9500.

I have a similar issue, it started when I put my S4 in flight mode, then when the plane landed I turn it off and since then I have no signal, IMEI NULL and when dialing *#1234# no CP information, only AP and CSC.
I have been digging and rooted the phone and tried with Galaxsim but nothing, then the IMEI null fix but nothing (once I applied this one the cell phone stuck in SAMSUNG icon at boot processs).
So I installed again stock firmware and it's back to the original status, no signal, no IMEI, etc... worrking only with wifi.
Please give me a hand on this. I also have GT-I9500

I don't have efs backup, don't know how to do that. The thing is that I have sent to repair but they didn't solve the issue.
well try flashing a 4.3 modem only, when you try to downgrade you get imei 0047, then you flash the latest modem o 4.3 modem and everything its ok...
try with MG9 or MK1 modem...
Same thing happened to me 2 days before. I was using it on Airplane mode for almost 12 days and suddenly when I switched it to network it does not detect sim card. Later i found IMEI is null, Baseband unknown and serial number is messed up. I never rooted my phone. I tried to flash stock firmware 4.3 with odin still no luck.
Might go to repair shop..Just how my efs folder is damaged or anything else screwed up my imei and baseband..
Modders your help is appreciated..

Guys who are having this problem try this:
What is needed
-A computer with ADB
-USB Cord for phone
-Your phone (of course lol)
What to do to possibly fix issue.
1. Make sure your phone's debugging is activated.
-If not go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Click "USB debugging"
2. Plug phone into computer (Make sure drivers are installed for adb to connect to your phone)
3. Open command promt and go to where adb is located
-(use "cd" (without quotations) to change directories i.e "cd c:\adb\" will take you to the directory needed)
4. Once you're in the same directory as the adb.exe file is type this
- adb reboot nvrestore
This will reboot your phone and you should see a quick flash on the screen stating in the top left in blue about restoring the nv
Kewl's suggestion. Link :http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/2592-last-attempt-to-fix-stuck-in-roaming-mode-for-the-sgs3/
I didn't try it. I'll install ADB then test it. I bet your connection is faster than mine, so try it first and get back to this post if it worked.

I think I'm getting to the surface, I just need to know how to retrieve your original IMEI since your original efs is deleted. If you guys please help me and when everything is successful, I'll make a step by step guide on what I did.
My worst nightmare came true, I sent my S4 to Samsung, the price got high as 200$. I asked the reason why, they said that the EFS file is the most sensitive file in the phone, it what makes it a phone anyways. They also said that they will hook it on a box or something like that that costs about 7000$. That's a shocker. If you ask me what I'm going to do with my S4, I'll have to pay the price, and sell it for 400$ Until the s5 is announced, I'll close the price gap. Sorry for the bad news :/
My phone IMEI is correct i am only having the network not registered error can this command solve my device issue.

Hey guys I'm having a little problem with my GT-i9505. Problem being that I cannot get any reception on my device. It first occurred when I flashed a 4.3 rom over my 4.4.2 rom. I've tried switching to several different roms, both 4.3 and 4.4, yet none can fix the problem. I've tried to flash at least a dozen modem's in a bid to fix it. I searched for the modem suitable to my device and yet they still didn't work. I even tried to just install the official Samsung 4.4.2 rom via Odin, yet I'm still having the same problem. My baseband does change whenever I flash a new modem, but I still cant get a signal. When I try to search for a network in settings it lists the main carriers in the UK, but when I try to select mine (3 UK) it doesn't allow me to register, clicking select automatically yields the same results too. I've been searching for hours today on how to fix this, but just can't seem to find a method that helps. Any suggestions?
Have you tried manually entering the APN settings for 3 UK?

Take your S4 to a repair shop. Use Phil,s recovery when you re-root, install Omega ROM or another Samsung based ROM and, using Philz Touch 6 recovery, make a copy of your EFS file so if / when it happens again you can reinstall Omega or whichever ROM you installed and, using Philz recovery, you can reinstall your EFS file.
To make the backup, reboot recovery - backup and restore - custom backup - x (only in efs backup) - start custom backup - choose where to put the backup.
I use Omega as a reference because I know it will not screw up your EFS file.

I'll take it to China Unicom in the morning and let you know what happened. Unfortunately I don't speak Chinese very well but I will try to watch what the repair guy does. Perhaps it will be of some help.
I took the phone to China Unicom but the tech that repaired it last time wasn't there.

What u mean by purchase a new baseband bro?
did you try searching for a signal outside?
i'm on three uk network and signal indoors is absolutely atrocious! (especially since they started "upgrading" to 4g networks - i had the exact same problem with t-mobile switched to becoming ee, i don't know why these companies are so intent on breaking networks which worked perfectly before by "upgrading" them).
I updated to stock 5.1 from 5.0.2 yesterday. Prior to this I had LTE 4G on T-Mobile. Now I'm back to 3G . Does anyone else have this experience? and are ther any solutions out there I could use?
I'd value any input or advice on this issue.
Thanks
I tried too to revert 4g on my 5.1 n4 but after i wiped everything ( excepting system ... ) i got a lovely bsod ( blank screen of death ) i don't think is a sollution yet , if i done something wrong someone please explain us how to get it properly back w/o probs , wait for some ideas thanks .
You'll obviously need to be sure the hybrid modem is installed. Beyond that as I recall, I had to "force" it to see the LTE network by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting "LTE only" for the connection. After that I was able to set it to "LTE/GSM auto" and it has worked correctly since.

Go to settings -> About Phone
The Android software version number and baseband (modem) version will be listed. If the last 2 digits of the baseband version is greater than 33, you will not have LTE capability.

I'm sorry for being a little slow on this, but when you say reboot to recovery, what do you mean exactly? I have the file downloaded though. Is this a hack or is this something that was made for this phone by Google? I guess what I'm asking is, could I screw up my phone from doing this and if I do, can I revert back to where I had it prior to this if it doesn't work or don't like it?

I'm sorry for being a little slow on this, but when you say reboot to recovery, what do you mean exactly? I have the file downloaded though. Is this a hack or is this something that was made for this phone by Google? I guess what I'm asking is, could I screw up my phone from doing this and if I do, can I revert back to where I had it prior to this if it doesn't work or don't like it?

To help your self out It might be useful if you read the post from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60115195&postcount=771
It will help you understand the whole process and how to do it. It will also give you lots of background on the issue.
To perform the "Flash" I use the Nexus Root Toolkit. which can be found here.
I hope this helps you. Let us know how it goes
This is perfect! Thank you!
I'm noticing that the settings done keep after a reboot. I don't have to reflash the modem, but I do have to go back into the 4636 settings to re-enable LTE. I've heard this might be fixable in the build.prop? Any thoughts?

Can I do this straight from the phone or from a laptop? And what zip app do I open it with?

You do it straight from your phone. Download the file, boot into your Recovery, go to the folder you saved the file in (likely in your "Downloads" folder, and just flash the .zip file from your Phone's recovery, and it will do all the necessaries.
It worked flawlessly when I flashed that zip from recovery. All relevant settings changed from 3G to 4G and HSPA to LTE. Speed went from 10 to 36mbps (Telus Canada). ROM is 5.1.1 LMY48T

Did you flash from a custom recovery, twrp or cwm, or stock recovery ?

Thanks that got almost work for me but it says its for android 5.1+ and I am on android 6.0.1 aosp ROM.
But after that I flashed this and bingoo. I can use LTE only in Android 6.
Used this http://www.mediafire.com/?2thymqa7fiiyrqy
Now I can able to click on 'only LTE' from phone info
And it stays at LTE only.
Before this when I goto phone info and it got gsm or wcdma even I click on LTE now its working for me.
I found that zip file from anywhere else I don't know where so I had uploaded and shared here.
Here is what I found about version check. Give it a try if you wish
a) expand nexus-4-lte-enabler-v2.13.zip
b) edit META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
c) replace 5.1 with 6.0.1 in this line
( is_substring("5.1", file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.build.version.release")) )
d) update zip with new file
e) flash zip

Hello,
I am in South Africa and I can not get data to work. I have validated all settings:
Data Roaming is on.
Cellular Data is on
Preferred Network Type is Global (I have also changed to LTE / GSM / UMTS with no success)
I have removed SIM card / placed back in.
I have reset all network settings
I have placed into Safe Mode
I have called Verizon Global Support and they have validated all settings.
All without success
Android Version - 6.0
Security Patch level - November 1, 2015
Is there anything I am missing? This is frustrating.
on your phone dialer type *#*#4636#*#* then from the top menu select change band and select USA band and restart your phone.

Sorry, I did not previously perform the step you out-lined. I thought you were referring to restarting the band.
I just did as you instructed and now the phone is not connecting to the South African networks(previously phone and SMS worked.
Now in the Cellular Network Settings, there is a new option 'System Select' which is selected to 'Automatic' with the other option 'Home only.'
Ideas?

Did you check you have all the APN's setup in your device? you should see 6 in that list. Verizon Internet APN should be selected.

With regards to the APN, I only have four:
EHRPD - VZW Roaming CBS
EHRPD - VZW Roaming IMS
LTE - VZW Roaming FOTA
LTE - VZW Roaming Internet
And nothing is selected.

Change your band to Band 6. turn off your phone and restart.
As for System select, it should be set to Change CDMA roaming Mode. Preferred network type, set it to Global.
For APN, if nothing is selected then select the one that says, Roaming Internet.

Sorry added more comments take a look at it. I had a similar issue in Mexico, I made the following changes to make it work. Once you get your network connected, then you can go back and change it to USA band if you want.

System Select should be 'Automatic?' I tried both 'Automatic and 'Home Only' and the other settings you specified and it is still not connecting.
I also did a factory reset and still not working??
Please help/

OK, if none of those are working. Then your best bet is to reflash a radio. You will have to unlock your bootloader, Go to fastboot mode and use the flash all script, to reflash a factory image to your device.
There is a thread in the General help section, that can guide you thru the process. Remember unlocking bootloader will wipe your phone clean.

So, I'm going down that path, downloaded the 'angler' image for the Nexus 6P, unlocked the bootloader, issue ./flash-all.sh and it comes back(using terminal on mac) and says:
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: angler-02.01
Baseband Version.....: angler-02.15
Serial Number........: xxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------
checking product...
FAILED
Device product is 'angler'.
Update requires 'bullhead'.

I need to download 'bullhead' then - although it says that is for the Nexus 5x? Feel like something is jacked.

Something is not right. It should ask you to download Angler not Bullhead. Dont install Bullhead on your device. Do you have the right version of ADB fastboot?

I'm an idiot. I downloaded 'bullhead' instead of 'angler' from the beginning. Flash is going through now - hopefully this will fix the radio problem. Will report back shortly.
