This is my first post, but I have been a long term viewer. I am on my knees begging. I recently flashed and rooted my samsung showcase for cellular south. I really messed up and flashed the radio/baseband. I desperately need a stock baseband for the cellular south showcase. Their current baseband is S:i500:04K.DJ20. I talked to someone at the store and they have confirmed that this is the problem with my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
what modem did you flash? DL09? thats a no-no. ur probably screwed but idk what miracles adryn could do for u
Yeah. I flashed the DL09 radio. Major mess up. The phone will text and call, but won't get on internet. The cellular south guy said it was most likely the radio because when calling *228, it will only update the lock code, it will not retrieve the mdn and other stuff.
You're going to need to find the DJ20 modem file for your phone to be able to fix it. Good luck.
Yeah. Thats what I figured. I have been looking high and low today. I have search probably 300 sites looking for it. Thanks for the help guys.
whats up guys, im trying to help a buddy of mine with his fascinate. so without starting a new thread. can someone explain how the basebands work on the fascinate? it seems to me like its a lot more important when picking a ROM then it is on my DINC.

You could brick your phone and then return it you the store (if you're under warranty still)

I believe what you are suggesting is considered fraud and is illegal.
A much less illegal option would be to make an insurance claim.

You tards, if you can't find the radio, Ship it back to Samsung and they will get you back to stock.... But just keep looking. Im sure it will show up somewhere. Good luck.

Here is Samsung's Official Open source page. http://opensource.samsung.com/
If you can get someone to look into it, i don't know if the baseband is included in the source code or not. I would think thats carrier based?? I don't know... by the way, this information will be no good in your hands... you need to find the source code for your phone (which is still sch-i500 I think just find the right carrier, about half way down the mobile open source page) and give it to someone that can pick it apart.
EDIT: I removed my original post to avoid unneeded conflict..
i have a link for you that is more specific, i would download zip on your computer and see what is in it first, possibly a radio/modem?? maybe idk.. but heres the link.. might get you one step closer. Hope this helps.
You have to accept and possibly register to download it but may be worth 5 minutes in your case.

Actually that is called insurance fraud. That is illegal as well. Insurance is for accidental breakage like dropping or water damage. Not for flashing the wrong baseband.

I did actually flash the mesmerize to my phone as a last ditch effort the other day. It did not brick it, and the radio was similar to the stock one. It allowed me to *228 and it downloaded the mdn, but still no go on the internet. Call and text work, which is a plus. I am going to get into qpst and pull the settings from my hero. My showcase is only a week old...
Now that I think about it, if calling and texting work, shouldn't everything else? Could one of the settings in the prl or some other file (##DATA#) be incorrect?
I'm running stock, unrooted Froyo 2.2.
Last couple of days nearly every text message I send says "Failed." I have to send texts four, five, six or mroe times before it goes through without an error. However, even though it says failed not all are failed. Out of five attempts the recipient might recieve anything from one copy to all five copies.
Very frustrating to both me and my recipients. (This problem is not specific to certain people.)
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do to fix this?
TIA

There's nothing you can do to alleviate the problem, we've been advising customers to be patient. The problem arose due to the connection going down between two major routing stations. Don't know why it happened, could be weather related

Sounds like you work for Sprint? So this is a known issue and being worked on?
Do you have an ETA? This is a serious problem, SMS reliability is more important than voice for me. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Sorry for the delay. Yes I work for sprint as a tech. So my info is limited.
Yes, it is a known issue. It was passed along the company intranet yesterday and popped up on every computer as an alert. We, the techs, were also consulted immediately on the problem via email by our service and repair director.
Now, as far as I was told today... it's hard to answer. yes, the issue is resolved. But the symptoms are still present for some users. One thing you have to keep in mind is that not only did sms go down, but so did our data provisioning. So there's probably a lot of stuff backed up right now. Hence, the sporadic problems.
EDIT: as far as ETA, obviously that's a little hard to answer as well.

Very much appreciate the info.
I can say that the text messages I've sent since my last post a few hours have gone through without a hitch. However, earlier today I had a few hour window where everything was working normally and I thought everything was back to normal but the problems cropped up again.
Hopefully this time everything is back to and the problems are gone. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks again.
I just saw this thread and checked my texts, I'm able to receive texts but the ones I sent out up to 6 days ago haven't been sent. This issue has definitely not been resolved. This is a huge problem, and without this thread I would have never noticed it. I tried all the fixes mentioned and nothing. MEHHHH

First line of the thread "I'm running stock, unrooted Froyo 2.2."
What data and cache did you clear? I prefer not to wipe out all my SMS messages. Especially since there's no guarantee that'll fix anything.
I updated my PRL today, no surprise but that didn't help matters.
The user who works for Sprint says that as of last night there is a known technical problem here. Hopefully he'll update this thread when the problem's been fully resolved. Then I'll know if there's an issue with my handset.
Today it seems like every text reports as Failed but recipients are still getting them. But it's still a crapshoot when your phone tells you the text failed. I hate this...
I didn't realize you were the OP til after I posted.lol
I wiped all cache and data in CWM(purple) and reflashed. I used MyBackup Pro before wiping and backed up my call log, mms, sms, etc. After reboot I restored everything, and all the texts that were stuck on "sending" were now all sent.
I had this same problem when I first got my phone 4 months or so ago.
I found that for whatever reason I could send and receive messages if I turned the "Data Network Mode" off. 3G would not connect, but 4G would and all of my messages sent no problem.
I'm not a real network savvy guy, and I have no clue why I ever even considered doing it. Probably just messing with all of the phone settings to see what might happen, and it worked for me. Give it a shot.

Why do you need to use hidden menu with official unlock code? (I am assuming you didn't had the different SIM in order to enter the code?)

The SHA256 setting has to be correct for the phone to take the code. The menu is used to change it to "on". Information about this has already been posted.

This one works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41580940&postcount=18
for 32Gb i337
i have a ROGERS Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M.
couldn't unlock the phone with hidden options. tried all the ways in this forum and in the end went to cellunlocker.net, paid 15$ via paypal, gave them the wrong IMEI number, talked to customer support to correct the IMEI number and eventually received a code that worked. all of that in less than 24H.
if you're not in a hurry to unlock your phone i would wait another week or two, i believe by then the method for generating the code to unlock the device will be shared here.
Won't work for me either, I researched and tried many times
I am on a ATT 32gb GS4 runnig the OTA MDL update, rooted with Motochopper, added the Xposed framework and then Nottach versions 2 thru 4 as they became available. I mention this in case someone knows that it wont work with the Xposed framework.
I went through the original threads about sim unlocking last week and followed them carefully step by step and just assumed it worked. Later that week I also did the AWS modification so the TMO sim would be worth trying.
This morning I got ahold of a TMO sim and popped it in and it asked for a unlock code! WTF, so I reread the threads, check my SHA256 setting to see if its really off and it was.
Rechecked the threads, found there are two different codes to get you to the same exact spot, decided that would make no difference. They all get you to the same spot eventually. There are differing opinions on how to finalize the process also, but both of them end up rebooting your phone for you.
Read through and tried through the last steps several times which included trying the [4] Restore Back-up to restore the "Golden_Backup" and then also another couple of attempts with [1] Load default NV. Still no luck.
I am assuming that the SHA256_off means that it is not going to check for a ATT security code on startup or something and the Golden_Backup is a hard coded setting that is not carrier dependant?
There are also a few other settings in the NV REBUILD section that I wish I knew the functions of. Particularly the [1] load default NV. Does this setting load the ATT NV settings back in again?
Also, do you get more than one shot at the Golden_Backup? Is it hard coded or is it just the original backup that of the NV that was there before the ATT version and once you screw it up its gone and over written by the ATT version?
It has been posted that sometimes it just wont work but I think that since its coded in it has to work, but maybe a setting needs to be changed or done slightly differently. I will keep looking and learning. If anyone has any ideas I would be happy to try them.
I am in the same position as you are. Tried several times with several different options, but no luck. And as I mentioned earlier, I updated the phone from Kies prior to trying to unlock using hidden options. Maybe that could have something to do with the phone not getting unlocked.. Will keep on researching and post updates.

Hate to say it but if your phone wont even turn on at all its likely bricked.. you cant get into recovery or download mode i assume?
also, the link you provided doesnt appear to be for our device at all.. we never had a nd7/mj9 build nor have we ever had phillz recovery..
you should have used the alliance roms posted in the dev section for the g900v and not from the site.. you most likely flashed the wrong rom and your phone didnt like it

Hard brick, advanced paper weight and toddler toy. Are just some of the names you can call it now. If you flashed the wrong ROM then you are SOL. There is no repairing on your own. Stop your online searching now cause it's a waste of time.

He's not the OP dude. He's another member who was trying to help the OP by sharing his experience of getting some type of brick situation resolved. I see you were on the mobile app when you replied and I know the OP isn't identified in subsequent posts the way it is on the site. Just a friendly FYI.
Three mornings ago I woke up to find wifi couldn't start on my phone. Nothing I tried fixed it. It's a hardware issue. Verizon refused to fix it because I admitted it was rooted. The local repair shop is afraid of breaking the digitizer if they take it apart and besides, who knows what's wrong?
This is my last straw with Verizon. I have signed up with T-Mobile. My replacement Note 4 will be here today or tomorrow. I really loved this community. Yall are a great bunch of guys and I will miss you. But I refuse to take any more of Verizon's crap. I'll drop in to say Hi from time to time but for now I have to learn about the T-Mobile development community. Later.
Noooo. This is bitter sweet because you will enjoy yourself with all the Tmobile development. Frankly any Note 4 variant besides Verizon and AT&T you'll be happy. Good luck man and thanks for all your help.

I'll drop in to say Hi from time to time but for now I have to learn about the T-Mobile development community. Later.

I'd be happy to do some low-level troubleshooting with you. That's a strange piece of hardware to fail, one that isn't very common. I think there might be something else going on.

Ok. I reset it back to the condition it was when I got it. I odin'd the ANI1 modem and the ANJ5 stock restore. I don't know what else to do.
I don't have the new phone yet. Probably tomorrow evening or Monday. If I can fix it and don't decide to cancel TMo I could sell it. It shows a little wear around the USB port but other than that it's totally scratch free. It was always in an Otterbox case.
But I'd love to keep using it.

Just flash the full PBA1 tar first. Don't flash different bits and pieces, that could cause issues here.. Here's the link: Download

Isn't that going to overwrite the Dev Ed bootloader? I guess that's ok though because it's useless as a Developer Edition anyway right? And then I can do the unlock procedure.
It failed. It wants me to do the Verizon Software Repair Assistant. It probably failed because of the hardware issue right?
Update: On the second try it flashed and finished booting up. There were only 22 apps to optimize. Wifi still doesn't work. It did lose developer mode.

We'll get DE back after you are stable. Uninstall Verizon Software Repair Assistant and Kies if you have it. To me, it looks like a USB/Driver/Software conflict going on preventing a successful flash. Try a different computer, and a different USB cable. Something is interrupting the write process.
I don't have access to another computer. Sometimes this computer does act up. That's M$ and their upgrade to W10 for you. Maybe after a fresh reboot?
I don't have the other stuff.
Update: Maybe I can borrow a computer. I don't know when though. I'll look into it.

That happened to me and I flashed back to stock full restore locked bootloader and that worked for me. My phone ended up craping out on me a couple weeks later< first i got a "failed to boot MMC read error" then when i tried to boot it, it as completely dead.

I flashed a ton of stuff through Odin and TWRP both. Everything seemed to flash correctly with the same result every time. Wifi wouldn't work. I can't help but think it's hardware. I think it baked this jumper wire that's right between the battery and the Wifi til it broke. Too many times heating it up by optimizing apps.

Sorry to hear that....hoped you could revive it. For sure these things get blistering hot! I've been flashing like crazy this past week thinking my phone is cookin! So I know what your saying could be the culprit. Still hoping you find a way!
