[Q] Unable to flash baseband - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found the odin or mobile odin is unable to flash the baseband ZHUDMI1, XXUEMI8 and XXUEMJ3.
When I use odin to flash, the whole process is success but the baseband version in the handphone doesnot change when viewing.
If I use mobile odin, the process will stuck at the blue robot and the last line shows" Modem #2 Clearing..."
Unless I use odin to flash the whole rom of XXUEMI8(4.3) and the the baseband will be undated to XXUEMI8. I would like to know what is the problem.

Which files are you using to flash the baseband?

All the files I downloaded are from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
and the Odin I used is odin3 1.85, odin3 3.09 and mobile odin 3.76. None of these works.
But luckily, it seems that my baseband is not flashed and remain as old version and working.

In the post it recommends you use Odin 3.04 and untick "Autoreboot", you should try following these instructions to the letter and see if it works!
Ok it worked.
If anyone else is having issues with the baseband not changing, do this.
Use Odin v3.04
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

[Q] How to go from Baseband MDJ to MK6?

I'm running Goldeneye 8.0, 4.2.2. I'm looking to update to new MK6 baseband so I can flash goldeneye with kitkat but when I flash MK6 through mobile Odin, I get an error saying that memory is protected or something like that. Can anyone help with this?
I had the same issue when flashing with mobile odin. I ended up using Odin to flash the modem. Only difference is that I was on stock 4.2.2 with MG1 baseband.
Modem files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667
ODIN download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
Instructions:
Unzip contents to your computer.
Put your phone into download mode
Open Odin
Connect your phone to your computer
Place modem .bin file in PHONE section
make sure to untick autoreboot
flash
Reboot
I'd recommend checking if you have the latest drivers as well. Also check the 'Modem files' thread I linked above - seems like some people are having the same issue with i337m

Thanks for the reply, I've come to find out that you have to be on a stock rom to flash baseband, that's why it wasn't working for me before.
Perfect that's good to know if a new baseband gets released.

check the bootloader you have and flash the .tar firmware using odin.
get this app called phone info from the market "link"
check the bootloader : MF9, MDL, MK2
after that look for the firmware.tar that matches your bootloader file and flash it using odin, it will wipe your phone clean! once you get the samsung and sprint boot logo you may get stuck on that. since your phone is not longer rooted use the stock recovery " power + Vol up " to clean cache and do a data wipe. and reboot. once the phone boots you can root and start all over. :highfive:

what baseband did you flash???
if you flash the .tar for MJA should restore your baseband. Try this tar file : here

uhmm well last thing i would try is yo flash the MK2 tar back to stock and go from there.
here
Instructions:
1. Download tar.md5 from above and download Odin
2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)
3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)
4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot
5. Start flashing
6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while
7. Profit

Can you please link the guide you have followed?
What black edition version do you have? I9500 or I9505, i understand there are 2 versions depending on region.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
What version Odin are you using?
Remember to reboot into recovery by holding volume up while turning power on after flashing.
Holding volume down gives you download mode.
Did you put the recovery package in the PDA tab?
I use odin 3.07 and used the guide of philz. I tryed with auto reboot and without auto reboot on odin, i put the tar.md5 file on pda without anything else. The only other option ticked was f.reset time.

Bump
Noone knows anything? Please help, I can't do anything with the phone in this state. I can't install the official firmware nor the recovery too.
Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
if problem persists:
Different usb cable
Different usb port
Make sure Kies is not running in the background.
Already done all that stuff,
Any other suggestions?

In odin 3.07 I was putting the tar.md5 in PDA, where should I put it now? Because your file is in .zip.md5 and I can't put it in any slot.

[Q] Brick failed on GT I9515

Hi,
I tried to load a new firmware from sam firmware. I download Odin 3.09 and I9515XXU1AND3 firmware. I followed all steps and when odin loads the system return an error. When i try to put on the phone I see "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I tried again with Kies but does not found any interrupted update. I tried with Odin 3.09 and 3.07 with another firmware I9515XXU1ANG1 but no luck. Also I press reset button on Odin.
Now I think I need a .pit file because Odin does not found any partition.
Anyone can help me, please.
Thanks,
Catalin

I've gt-i9515ve and faced with same situation. Try vol.up+power+back and enter recovery menü.
Then wipe to factory default.
This has solved my brick problem.
But I can not turn back to normal 9515ve firmware , I've installed a black edition firmware then phone starts to reboot at random times?
Sometimes when I'm talking with phone, problem occurs.
Any clue or help is appreciated?
