Hi there.
Thanks for all the work people do here. I've read a lot and learned a lot and for someone who's not very technical I've actually managed to root my i9000, install ICS and even flash semaphore.
Unfortunately, I've stumbled at the final hurdle. I downloaded a .tar of modems for Telus in Canada, used Odin to flash and... it failed.
I've even downloaded Perka's files but to be honest I'm at a loss what to do with with it.
Will anyone direct me to the right modem kernel for the job or perhaps let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you in advance.
Daniel
Didnt the ICS ROM u flashed came with its own modem?

Hi guys,
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I'd really appreciate it!
I've never had to ask for help before with flashing one of my devices, and have flashed hundreds of times with my previous phones, S3, S5 and Note3 .. However this one has me a bit stumped. I have the Note4 N910F and I see many awesome LP ROMS seem to require that you flash stock 5.0.1 via Odin before flashing the custom ROM.
I managed to do this successfully with the ROM listed at Sammobile called "Unknown 5.0.1 N910FXXU1BOC3 N910FTPD1BOC1" - Everything is OK, boots perfectly and I have cell signal and LTE. Rooting was also a non-issue. The problem I have though is that no matter which custom recovery I try, and regardless of ROM that I try, all seem to get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung screen.
Am I doing or have done something horribly wrong?
Please help!
I think I may have answered my own question. The stock ROM I flashed was BOB3, it seems I need to be on BOB4, which is the German based ROM. Busy downloading that now!

Why can't you flash custom rom's with BOB3 installed?
Thanks
Hi Guys!
Need some help on this thing, hope someone can clear some doubts and give me some advice too... The thins is this, I used to have a Samsung Captivate Galaxy S (Yes, hard to believe I squeeze that thing to the last drop LOL, I flashed SlimRom, wich was a pretty light ROM I think, and keep it as clean as possible always), Im from Mexico, and also Im that type of guy marketing doesnt make hard effect on me... anyway, recently a co-worker offered me this new one, at a very good price, almost brand new, so I got it.
As you can figured it out, It is a long time now since I made my last flashes, upgrades, etc... And now I want to do it again, but if possible I would like to do it the right way.
Here are my S4 settings:
Soft Version: LV720VPUFNG2
Model: SPH-L720
Android: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: L720VPUFNG2
Already Rooted and I've already installed TWRP Ver: 2.8.4.0
I got it already SIm Unlocked.
My Career Network is GSM.
The main reason I want to flash a ROM is to get rid of all the crap Samsung installs, I would like to install a light-weight (Lollipop if possible) but a with all the functions that I aleady have, like Air gesture, Screen Mirroring, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc...
So I would really appreciate if someone can advice me with one good, light-weight-clean ROM, Lollipop if possible... ( I remember back when I was flashing Captivate, SlimROMS where something like Im looking now)
Also, If a make backup before flashing and if I got problems while flashing, By reverting to my backup, Would I have it again working like it was? I mean modem, bootloader, etc.?
My main concern is to be able to back if I have a not-working flash, as this is my new and only cellphone.
Many Thanks in advance. BTW, Hope my english is understandable
No one? :/ Well, I'll keep it more simple lol
If I flash some ROM, I would have the same baseband/modem I already have right?
So if I flash for example, Exodus ROM, I'll end up with Android 5.1.1(I think thats the last one of that ROM) but keeping my baseband as it is now, NG2.
It Should work?
Please I really appreciate if someone can just clear this doubts before I proceed.
Technically speaking, Yes. You should be able to keep your baseband and modem since you're not flashing anything like that over odin, or if the ROM file itself isn't programmed to do such things.

Thanks for your answer man, and just for the last question, Do you know where I can find Stock ROMS, baseband and modems? (In case I need them)
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917
But It looks like is not truly updated, for example I can't find my baseband version in it.
Btw, Do you know if my modem NG2? Its the last one or not? I've been searching for that info too, but can't find anything updated that I can trust.
Many thanks in advance.

This is for stock firmware's; this means it's an all-in-one stock rom that has the baseband, kernel and modem etc. all inside a single rom file.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L720/SPR/
For latest info on your system check this
http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ServiceAdvisory_542_GKB51952-dvc7300002prd#!/
As for individual files like just single modems, kernels and basebands just search here. You'll find them, search and google are your friend. And no NG2 is no't the latest, OH1 is.

Many thanks man, that's exactly what I was looking for, some backup information that could help me in case I need it, now I feel more secure about it.
Greetings from Mexico
PS. I'll reply later to tell how it went
I'm not so excited about posting a question as I see many have gone unanswered specifically in this variant's section, but here goes nothing.
I accidentally downloaded DU (Dirty Unicorns) for the T-Mobile variant by searching up DU for tje S4 on Google and sadly i forgot to specify "Sprint" or "L720". While there where no issues running the ROM, I decided I had to flash back to a Sprint based rom. Somewhere down the road I decided to flash back to stock (using the stock OD2 currently available) and now my device still shows up as an M919 with absolutely no data (seems to be roaming if I'm not mistaking).
I tried to reflash TWRP, flash Sprint based roms (AOSP will fix the issue temporarily, while TW roms such as Wicked X will experience the same issue), FULL wiping through TWRP, and then reflashing stock, but the issue persists. Does anybody happen to have a solution, suggestion, or idea? And a HUGE thanks in advanced.
I think you need to flash a full firmware with a pit file in Odin. Just visit sammobile, create an account and you're good to go. Lemme know if you have further questions
Try to flash OD2 .tar (get it from sammobile) with odin and then root ur phone again. That should fix the problem
Never heard of a pit file, always thought that it was limited to .tar and .bin, but I found my solution which I will post below.
PS How do I hit the thanks button on your comment since it has no "interface" to it?
I tried that and it didn't work. I already had OD2 as my default "flash if something goes wrong".
I'll post my solution in a new answer below.
Sorry for neglecting my own thread to the both of you who answered, I'm just not liking all of the new updates to the XDA website which will crash my browser or freeze all my tabs due to an overloaded amount of crap and ads running in the background of the site (sorry XDA, huge fan, but not as of lately). Apart from that, I also experience issues on the mobile version and right now I cannot find the button to thank the both of you.
ANYWAYS, back on topic, I was able to solve my issue by flashing an older 4.4.2 based stock (NAE) THEN flashing the OD2 right after that. Oddly enough, I was able to update to OH2 (stagefright patch) over the air. Doesn't the ability to update OTA die once you trip the KNOX Warranty bit???
And thank you both. If somebody explains how I can hit your thanks button now that XDA has updated yet again, I will thank you both properly
Hi guys,
i was the last few days here in this Forum and tried to educate myselfe about flashing and Roms and all that stuff. But to be honest it seems that this problem is beyond everything i can handle. I really hope you guys can help me.
My plan was that i flash a clean (bloatweare free) ROM on my new (secondhand) Note 4. At first i tried the unofficial CM 13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/unofficial-cm13-0-910f-g-t3243386) mod. Everything was fine until i recognized that i dont have wifi. All i got was a weird WLAN-MAC (02.00.00.00.00.00). I just coudlnt enable my WIFI.
(ROM-Flashing with odin (3.09) and TWRP Indian Version (twrp-3.0.2-0-trltedt.img.tar)
I just thought its maybe the ROM which just doesnt fit to my mobile, so i tried the official nightly version from the CM Site Version 12.1 (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=trltexx) But no success with that one either. The same problem. At that point i was pretty clueless about whats happening here and i started to panic a little. I was searching a few days about the WIFI Problem but coudltn find any solution. There was a Nexus-thread with the same problem but they didnt find a solution either.
At this point i was pretty sure that i messed up my mobile but i didnt give up.
I found the Nameless Rom (5.1.1.) here in this Forum and i tried it. The flashing was without any problems... and i was really happy that the first setup asked my about my wifi...until i recognized that this time the problem was that my Note4 couldnt find my SIM. Its really crazy
I tried everything. I tried to flash it again with different bootloaders and modems (from the ROM-Thread) and then i recognized that this time my SIM works but my WIFI wasnt there anymore. I dont know what to do anymore.
Here are Screenshots from Samsung Phone Info APP

Please help me. I dont know what to do anymore :/ I am a noob, so please forgive me if i missed to give you important information. If you give me advice i will give you any information you need about my mobile!
Thanks for your help!
This is a really weird issue. I have never heard of this before. Try flashing the stock ROM with ODIN.
Good luck.
Thank you for you replay. I was thinking the same and read a little about it.
I have downloaded SamFirm and tried to download the correct firmware for my mobile. But unfortunatly thats not so easy as i thought.
MY modelnumber is SM-N910G. Since my mobile is manufactured in Thailand i assume that the software needs the region code from this country but i cant find the right one. Is Thailand even the right one?
Based on the pictures attached in the orignal post can you maybe help me to find out which code is the correct one?!
if someone finds this thread and has the same problem: I solved it by installing Dr.Ketan's ROM
Im having issues with my S5 g900t, currently running omega rom, but i cannot get all the band frequencies i need for australia. Is there a custom rom for g900i? I have tried to flash the telstra firmware, but odin keeps erroring out. Any help is greatly appreciated

From what i understand omega v20 does not support 900I. It also uses phoenix kernel which I have heard has compatibility issues with 900I. Try Omega V18 (lolipop) or if you want a marshmallow based rom, try something else. Remember that these posts were posted years ago and that last year's "latest TWRP" is not THE latest TWRP.
you may want to flash original firmware via sammoblie to get you out of this predicament first.
edit. also post on a more appropriate thread next time. or else no one is going to find ur question
