N7105 modem urgently needed!

Can anyone provide me with a working N7105 modem? I flashed custom rom for N7100 and my modem got screwed (which was something I anticipated). Therefore can anyone provide me with a modem file for N7105? Much appreciated!!!

Are you saying you didn't at least nandroid your stock Rom?

sadly a full N7105 rom is not available yet, only all the OTA patches can be found, and no full modem is located in those.

I did every XDA-worthy member would do. I nandroid backed the hell out of my rom. But after flashing back nandroid rom, signal is still elusive.
I have downloaded the stock rom and flashed it. Modem came back.
I figured out a way to extract the modem.bin from the stock rom. Therefore if I flash the custom rom for N7100 which bust my modem, I can flash the modem.bin from my N7105 stock rom to regain modem in my custom rom right? Wrong. something more than modem.bin is messing with the signals if one flashes an N7100 custom rom unto an N7105 rom.

I am not sure how to do it. But if u can download the full N7105 stock rom, u can extract the modem.bin from it.

i wanted to look at contents compared to the US/Asian LTE devices, and so far those firmwares look the same, so the freq change is in the chipset. but i checked the leak US firmware and that one also had cdma features so although similar it was featuring cdma instead of gsm.
like n7100 for different reqions got pretty much the same firmware with changes to brand and whatever smaller software change they make for that country.
point was if the frequency issue was software or hardware, and so far the n7105 europe firmware looks similar besides the fact a US firmware got cdma, and confirmed is that it is very different from n7100 radio firmware and should not be installed.

On sammobile tgey have it too ... just take a look ...

So what must be done to gain phone signals back if one installs a N7100 custom rom into a N7105? If the problem is with the chipset there is nothing much we can do about it right?

I'm guessing that some lib files are needed to work properly with the modem.

well, i assume all libril and libsec and those related to controlling LTE as well.
but since 7100 and 7105 are so different radio wise, there might be something else used to controll radio than what 7100 uses, which could be required in the roms for 7100, but maybe soon we will see roms for both devices at the same time.

I did the same mistake as you did.
Don't panic though.
I downloaded a stock N7105XXALIJ rom and flash it using PC odin.
Everything is back to normal.
Then I rooted it using this guide:
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/s...-rom-flashing-tutorial-r-d-stage-3942841.html
Everything is perfect so far.

Should I even bother trying to upgrade to MF3?

I keep reading about the problems people are having with flashing to MF3 on their rooted S4As but I can't find anything on what you get with MF3. Can someone enlighten me on its new features or post a link that lists what it does?

Just install one of the stockish MF3 based ROMs or International Update based ROMs from the development section and you will have the best of both worlds. You will get any enhancements from the update (if there really is any) and still be able to keep custom recovery and use other ROMs / themes / etc.
If you update to MF3 (OTA) you will lose the ability for custom recoveries and ROMs.

I don't think the active can run a custom recovery or other roms.

I was able to install it pretty easily by unfreeze some apps. Reinstalled activeroot afterwards and refroze and am good to go.
I still can't tell any difference and am gonna wait before I upgrade my wife's s4.

Didn't realize this was for the active. Nit sure what mf3 brings for that variant. XDA should seriously create a sub-forum for this variant. It not the same specs, software, the roms are not cross compatible, whats the point?

so then they didn't have the MDL stutter/lag we had when the S4 first came out

Well, I upgraded something for 18MB via software update. In the active master thread, it is being referred to as mf3.

[Q] Noob problems with my I337

Hi everyone, I have been a fan of the xda website for a long time and you guys have always helped me solve my problems with my phones.
This is the first time I need something that I haven´t been able to find. Forgive me if it is already answered but I cannot find it.
Basically my problem is that I was trying to rom my phone for the first time and it failed.... miserably. I did not brick my phone; it still works, starts up and functions normally except for a few key things: a few programs do not function any more, most notably the wifi, contacts and dialer app, the lock screen widgets and some others.
What I did was installed safestrap, then downloaded the gravitron rom. I put everything in the right place, created the extra rom slot, then is where the noob came in. I forgot to switch over to the rom slot and instead installed over the main rom... Wow much noob, right?
Anyway, what I want to know is if there is any way to salvage my phone? I am on baseband mf3 and with the research I have done, I have concluded I am screwed until odin files for mf3 come out. But if there is any way I can get my phone back to normal I would appreciate it so very much.
Thank you all in advance for your help. I apologize if i have left anything out but I will give any info on request.

No love for the guy with busted wi-fi?
Please help me! I'm killing my data plan... and it's really annoying to not be able to use my dialer or contacts.

Sounds like you're on mf3 firmware? If so, I'd flash that firmware and start over. Google mf3 tar files xda

If on MF3 you will need to flash the modules provided in the development thread. If on MK2, you will need to manually place them because there is no flashable modules yet AFAIK. No need to start from scratch unless you want it back to complete stock.

I am on mf3 baseband, i forgot to add that to the op.
I have tried flashing them with odin already, it instantly fails. Though I did it again just now to be sure with the same results.
Any other suggestions?

You don't flash the modules in Odin... You flash them in the SS recovery.

How would I go about doing that? I have tried copying the jellybean folder from the mf3 tar files on to my phone and going to install in SafeStrap, but I cannot install them as they dont even appear. Should I be going to a different place to install?

The modules are in the SS development thread. It is a zip file.

So now, is there any way I can get my phone back to stock? because my calendar and my dialer and contacts still don't work for me...
I think something happened when i installed the rom over my stock rom. whoops.

There are MF3 tar files. You can flash with Odin.

Ok that's the one I was trying to do but it fails instantly. I downloaded the mf3 tar files from xda, loaded them up like the thread suggested, put the phone into recovery mode but it instantly fails.
Any thoughts on why?

Drivers, USB port, cable. My money is on drivers though. Check all three.

4.4.2 Firmware

Hey guys.
Had some great advice in some of my other questions and I thank everyone who posted. Everything always helps.
Just before I do this, as I've been informed that you can't go back to 4.3 after updating bootloader to 4.4.2.
Which would be the latest 4.4.2 firmware I should flash for N9005 in Australia? I then want to flash custom roms like Xnote etc. Knox will be triggered after I flash a custom recovery am I right?
Thanks guys. As far as I can see NC3 is the latest.

Thing is what if I was to flash the Netherlands firmware, will I still be able to use it stock if I wish in Australia? I'll probably go straight to custom rom but just seeing. I'm worried if I flash a certain countries firmware I'll brick my device...

no u won't brick, as long as u choose the correct firmware for your device.
and do a proper step by ODIN PC.

Yeah I know, just trying to get more info. As a thread gets seen once, it's forgotten about pretty quickly and not many people get to see it, or have the opportunity to comment. especially in the q&a section.

Another thing I wanted to check was if I flashed ND3...can use like NB7 or NB3 or any earlier 4.4.2 rom?? Custom obviously? Heard some scary things if you go back...maybe that's to a non-knox firmware...
Thanks!!

You can flash other (earlier) 4.4.2 roms but you can`t downgrade to a 4.3 rom afaik

Oh cool. That's fine then. All these have open MSCs right? So I could technically use it stock? There will be an English option? I mean if it's all on there I don't know why Samsung doesn't release it at a faster rate, ir more at once... If indeed it works fine. I'll probably change straight away to a custom rom but still, it'd be nice to see what vanilla kit kit is like.

Meh, I didn't think about that =/. I guess you get no signals if modem/baseball aren't compatible. Is there a link to get our modem/baseband?

On the Note 3 N900w8 users got lucky, they could downgrade to JellyBean and back to Kitkat without issues, could root (on JB) without tripping KNOX and can pretty much flash ANY international ROM on their device (in this case the N9005 ROMs, N900T ROMs etc) -- IT is possible, now I use this term very very loosely that you *may* be able to flash a whole lot more than w8 only ROMs.
