Hello everyone,
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Did quite a bit of searching and can't seem to find the answer.
Is there a way to determine what the stock modem is (potentially in *#0011#?), and where to download that modem so I can re-flash it?
Thanks,
Brett

My apologies... that's my fault.
I have the I337 (AT&T), 32gb if it matters. I did see that thread... but what confused me was the CWM in the file name, which made me think it was a modified modem for clockwork recovery mod.
My device is completely stock... not even rooted. I flashed it with ODIN to the most recent PDA revision (L). Played around with the network unlock and what not, but my OCD is taking over and I just want to flash the modem back to stock with ODIN.

My apologies. I more so focused on not posting in one of the developer threads and completely overlooked the 'question' one.
Looks like the modem wasn't what I was after, nor did I realized the modem was automatically flashed with reflashing the firmware. I reflashed the 'L' revision of our firmware via Odin and say 'modem.bin' flashed as one of the steps automatically.
I guess what I was trying to restore to default was what I changed with the SIM unlock and enabling the AWS, but I know all I changed with the SIM unlock was the one 'off' setting and NV restore as per golden backup. Then I simply reflashed the (QCC or NV) file I backed up as per one of the steps in the AWS enable thread... and that's good enough for me.
Thanks everyone for your help.
I just picked up an s4 from att today. Ive been playing with it for about an hour and I definitely want to root the phone and remove all of the bloatware. Ive read online that there is no way to fully remove all traces of rooting this phone when needed for warranty reasons. Ive also read that att will still honor the warranty even if the phone is rooted. Does anyone have any info on this? Im experiencing a little lag here and there with the phone and am honestly not as jazzed about it as I thought I would be. If I root the phone will I still be able to switch for another phone if I choose to within 14 days and will att honor my warranty if I keep the phone and something goes wrong with it? Im in the US.
Well I had the s4 from release day,and have both root and a custom ROM.a couple weeks ago my WiFi decided it didn't wanna live no more so I flashed stock ROM through Odin and WiFi was still not working so I took my phone into the warranty center he flashed stock ROM again and it still didn't work so he just swapped it out for a new phone right there....
Long story short just unroot and flash stock ROM and you should be good to go

That can only be done if the phone hasn't been updated to mf3. There is no flashable firmware for that one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
Yes forgot to mention that .also for anybody with mf3 firmware try to get a warranty exchange if you don't mind getting back a refurbished device and there's a possibility you will get a non mf3 phone

I have heard that some members received replacements w MF3 so it is pretty much luck of the draw.

I asked ATT customer service if rooting voided the warranty. I was told rooting does not void the warranty unless rooting caused the damage. The example the rep gave me was: If you root and phone overheats as a result of rooting, then they wouldn't cover that.

Thanks for all of the replies! They're very helpful. How can I tell if my s4 has the mf3 firmware and what exactly is the difference between mf3 and the other?
Just wanted to add that the last three digits for my baseband are mdl so im assuming I dont have the mf3 software as of yet. I have a software update available. Should I update or just root the phone as it is now?

Do not update, root and rename the files associated with updating.

If you want to be able to root AND flash ROMs, do not update to MF3. There is no method for loading a custom recovery for phones that have updated to MF3.
There is a thread in the General section about rooting an MF3 phone, but at this point you won't be able to flash a ROM.

Hi everybody,
I'm having some questions. My phone was rooted and I tried to unroot the phone yesterday. Well I used many of the tutorials on this forum and something went wrong, because afterwards my phone lost the IMEI number, which suddenly was changed to something like 004900.... And the "no service" started. I've called the phone company which told me that everything seems to be correct and that I should try to restart the phone and so on..
Well after many hours of searching on Google I found a program called Chimera, which helped me out with restoring the IMEI number to the correct one and after that my phone worked and the "no service" was gone. But this morning somehow the no service came back and I'm currently not able to do call anybody with the phone.
What do I do now? And how can I get the latest firmware 4.3? I live in Denmark and I can't find a stock firmware for the danish company Telenor.
Please help me out with this problem.
Guess you will have to flash firmware of other country,just like I do.

But does that work for you? Which country do you for example use as stock firmware?
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your post and ask a moderator to move it.
A search would have found many duplicate posts on the same subject. Suggest you read the sticky thread, efs 'know this stuff' for further information.

BTU Vodafone. Works as it should. If phone isn't from UK,it doesn't mean that firmware will work bad on it. Phone just doesn't care about that,don't worry.
Well i was trying to to flash a new rom on my D802 and accidentaly i deleted everything... a full wipe from phone menu ( not recovery )
Since there was absolutely nothing on the hard drive anymore ( i assume) Phils TWM coudnt find any folders .. i had to push roms to the phone through adb now the problem is that no matter what rom i install i get no connectivity/no service .. cant recieve any calls or use data... only wifi...
I tried re flashing...
Stock rom
Paranoid rom
G flex rom
Stock kernal and peak 5.2 kernal
Nothing has worked? How do i restore connectivity to my phone? Thanks
You have a problem.. Your EFS folder was probably wiped
I guess you could reflash your kdz and bring it into the service centre?

I bought this phone through Kogan shipped from hongkong... This will take weeks, perhaps months... I am not even good with reverting phone back to stock as if never happened...
Is there any other way for me to fix it myself?
Anyone.?
there are plenty of guides on xda on how to revert to stock. search these forums and read carefully. you will be back up in no time. there is also a thread on stock modems also. give it a whirl

Try irc. Channel. #LG-g2. May find a few folks who can help or lead you in the right direction. Assuming you didn't back up your efs ?

No I didn't backup. I have never used irc before but I'll figure out once I get home. Thanks
If anyone has any tutorials please let me know as it can literally save me a couple hundred bucks.

No one has came forward on IRC guys anyone out there who has any clues how to deal with this?
On another thread someone suggested this :
NomadCF said:
Honestly, you'd need some one to send you their EFS backup (who's on the same carrier and model). Then you'd need to extract it. Then edit it to replace their data with yours.
But I don't think your going to find anyone willing to do that. As it's a HUGE risk to them. So I think your only bet it to to a warranty or repair 'call' with lg if not your carrier.

Is there anyone who can help me with this folder? You can remove your sensitive info... I have the international d802 bought from Kogan Hong Kong stock been using with optus network in Melbourne Australia. Will really really appreciate it.
I don't think editing will help. Don't know if you can even do that.

So is my phone a expensive paper weight or what now?
Warranty service?
Yeah, if you wipe your EFS, flashing back to stock wont help. The EFS partition contains files individual to each device, you will probably have to return it for repair man D:
I've had the same problem too, my SIM card doesn't seem to be reading on my phone either; and it definitely a functional sim.

I'm sorry, xda mail somehow has been going to my spam folder.
Anyway I am not familiar with this issue, but perhaps you can restore your stock rom via flashtool, then call LG and tell them that you don't know why this happened Oh and modems are distinct from EFS I think (at least that's my understanding)
Your main problem will be the shipping though
I found this thread for the lg optimus G though - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161498. Perhaps try PM-ing autoprime?
Same Problem
I also am in this EXACT same position. Still havent found a resolution quite yet. I am in correspondence with Shellnut the guy who actually wrote the freegee app that uses loki to flash cwm and twrp. He said that only cdma phones need efs, that the gsm phones didnt need it. This was new information to me. I haven't heard back from him quite yet as he informed me my phone wasnt bricked and that they would help me get back up and running. I know he is extremely busy. I have also been hearing that you can possibly use lg qpst to manually write your imei, looking into this now.
I would love to not have to take the risk of sending it in. Would love to just fix it.
i'm in the exact same position right now. Hunting the threads for a fix. I will be going back to Hong kong in 2 weeks time for 2 days, not sure if thats sufficient time for LG to get it fixed.
Hopefully we can find a solution soon!

Hi man. People keeps telling you to install new modem, kernel etc...but i think you have corrupted EFS folder.
I hope you backup your EFS folder before flashing ANY rom because, otherwise you will have to go to some repair shop.
Well, I don't understand a lot, but I think you could check if you didn't lost your IMEI. Go on Settings > About Device > Status and check if your IMEI still there.
If it is, I don't know what could be. You could try flash another modem or restore a backup (if you have one) with PhilZ Touch but if it isn't, that means you lost your IMEI. I remember I read about that somewhere, that there is a risk of losing IMEI when you flash a lot of ROMs.
If you have backup from your IMEI, just restore it. If you don't, I don't know what you could do, but I guess you could still do something.
One more thing: Wi-Fi works?
Like I said, I don't understand a lot, so everything I just said may be very stupid. Or not. Sorry for bad english.
