Hi there,
I am using a Canadian i337M on MDJ base with Rogers (RWC).
I've been having serious issues getting the modem to work using various 4.4 ROMs (specifically: MrVirgina's VirginROM link and Danvdh's Dandroid GPE link. The ROMS are both perfect and I would desperately love to use either.
I know I have to ODIN the 4.3 modem.bin and a NON-HLOS.bin. But I have tried a few methods and nothing seems to get the desired result.
Mr.Viginia suggested to anthor poster, to 1) use a 4.2.2 NON-HLOS and 2) a 4.3 Modem.bin. (link).
I have a stock 4.2.2 MDJ RWC rom, so I can get the NON-HLOS.
But I cannot find a 4.3 MDJ RWC rom to get the modem.bin.
My questions are:
1) is the approach from MrVirgina viable?
2) Do I need the modem.bin specific to MDJ, or will another work? Like MD6 from Samfirmware.
3) Assuming I need a 4.3 MDJ modem, where can I find one?
I should mention that I have been using MrVirginia's VirginROM for a few months with no issues (ver 4.3)
Please point me in the right direction. I truly appreciate your help.

Why not flash back to stock and update to 4.3?

Yes, I had considered that option, but I had a hard time finding a stock 4.3 ROM with MDJ band. Lots of 4.3 with other baseband out there, but not so much MDJ (at least that I could find).
At any rate, I was eventually successful at getting modems and sound to both work again. Although I cant remember specific order in which I did it, I used a 4.2.2 NON-HLOS with MDJ band and a 4.3 modem.bin with MK6 baseband.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
Can you post up links to the files you downloaded? I have been searching for this for at least 4 hours. Starting to drive me nuts.
Thanks in advance
Sure thing, these are the two links I used:
4.2.2 Stock ROM from GalaxyS4Root.com (link)
4.3 Stock ROM for XDA (link)
Make sure you get the correct carrier too.
I am sure there are many other out there, but these worked for me.

hey
So, i need help!
I have the canadian variant SGH-M919V model.
Currently I am on original stock 4.2.2 (not rooted) rom: M919VVLUAMG1_M919VYVLAMG1_M919VVLUAMG1_HOME.tar.md5
I had flashed the 4.3 modem of my model: M919VVLUEMK5 (modem.bin and NONHLSO.bin) three times via odin 3.07. So the modem did stick.
then through Philz Touch 6 CWM 6.0.4.5 AND Philz Touch 5 AND TWRP 2.6.3.1 i did complete wipe three times in both recoveries and flashed GE v14 and Omega v16 roms.
Then I booted into the system. my phone kept freezing up a lot , especially with phone dailer app, youtube app, and browser. It would FREEZE, and become unresponsive. I had to pull battery out, hard reset. Even then it kept freezing up more.
I did many wipes, and reflashed my model's (SGH-M919V) 4.3 TW modem three times again with odin (modem.bin and NONHLSO.bin) and then full wipe and installed the aforementioned roms again, same issue!
I've used GE v8.0 (4.2.2) perfectly well. No issues, it was the best rom, battery efficient!
Please note, i have the OLD bootloader from my 4.2.2 original stock rom!
What is wrong here? Can anybody help please?
First off you are in the wrong forum. This one is for the 9505 and 9500 versions of the S4 not the 919. There is a 919 forum specifically for the 919 and all its minor variants.
In that forum you will find a modified stock 4.3 ROM that let's you retain your current bootloader, doesn't install Knox, and gives you a full updated phone without all the negatives.

First off, you failed to understand. Lol, but I can see why you seem to have responded the way you did.
Secondly, my phone isn't "919", clearly you don't read well. My phone model doesn't have a forum. And NO, M919 is NOT same as M919V. My phone matches more with I337M and 9505.
M919 modified stock 4.3 ROMS aren't for my phone and services. Doesn't work.
This is a very good advice for you, please improve your reading comprehension skill.
More and more people are losing these basic skills, such a shame.
Don't know if any body has noticed, but kit kat seems to have been sneakily released for us australia note 3 holders of the n9007 model.
I don't know if its available officially yet, as I can't check because I rooted the 4.3 firmware, however I am currently downloading the 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.
Now this leads to my actual question,
Seeing as we now have the 4.4.2 firmware and modem, would we be able to flash n9005 roms onto our n9007 note 3's and simply swap the modem?
I read somewhere that someone had success flashing, with everything working except the modem.
If any other n9007 would like to hit up the new firmware and share feedback that'd be great

I've done this on many N9005 custom roms without any issues (NO MODEM ISSUE to speak of). All you need to do is update to 4.4.2 for the N9007 so that you have the kitkat bootloader and modem then you can flash any of the N9005 custom roms as you please. I've flashed these roms in the past without any issue (ASSASSINROM V4, CRASH ROM V13, N9005XXUGNG1_DevBase_alexndr.zip AND CRASH ROM V15 CURRENT)
So you can use 9005 ROMs even if you have a 9007 as long as it's 4.4.2?
In short yes. The baseband of your 9007 must match the 9005 custom rom you want to use ie. to use 9005 custom rom on 4.4.2 you need to upgrade your 9007 to 4.4.2 first.
Sorry but would you be able to provide us with a short tutorial on how to do so?
As far as I can tell, there is no way to root N9007 4.4.2 at the moment.
I realise some roms can be flashed with odin, but I'm still kind of wary as to whether or not it will be compatible.
You mentioned having the same basebands, but on my N9007 the baseband version shows as "N9007DIUCND1"
Is the DIUCND1 part the part I need to look out for while searching for N9005 custom roms?
Thanks for the help

OK...from the information you've provided...you're on 4.4.2 for the N9007 if not update your firmware to this version. To root simply use TOWELROOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793071) then install recovery app...either CWM or TWRP - I've been using TWRP 2.7.2.0 without a single issue. Then chose and install an N9005 custom rom via TWRP or CWM. I've installed and used the following roms without any issue (Echoe ROM v15, Alexndr - N9005XXUGNG1, ASSASSIN_V4, CRASH_ROM_V13 and CRASH_ROM_V15)...the only thing you cannot do is install bootloader and modem belonging to N9005.
Fantastic. I have yet to install a custom rom, but I am ecstatic just knowing that my phone is finally rooted again.
Hated that I couldn't downgrade from kitkat back to jb, but only because I wasn't aware of any way to root my device until now, many thanks!
I shall post again once I try out a few roms and see how they go.
Thanks again, you've been most helpful!
Sorry, would you be able to link me to the correct TWRP for the N9007? or the one that is compatible with it?
try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anyone could provide me how to root my galaxy note 3 n9007 Kit Kat? I tried CF-Auto-Root but after i flashed with odin it just stuck in bootloop.
I also would like to try custom firmware, is it possible to install onto this phone?
I got one more question do i need to unlock bootloader?
How can I check my bootloader status?
Thanks for your answers.

I too have this issue and as explained clearly you cannot use the N9005's BL or CL on a N9007 device - it causes a bootloop or stuck on logo.
I cannot find the BL or CL for Australia (optus) anywhere, not even an older version.
Flash latest stock firmware for BL etc.
Hi guys, I have been searching everywhere in order to know how to downgrade from 4.4.2 back to 4.3.
However,all posts were telling that once we have updated to 4.4.2....there is no way on downgrading.
So,even the Samsung center can't help me to downgrade too?
Because Im thinking to go over Samsung center to downgrade if they can really do so.
you have a big risk to brick your phone
I read somewhere that someone do it but everywhere it's recommand and it said that after upgrade to KK, no way back
Won't happen. The only way to downgrade a snapdragon based note 3 is to replace the mainboard with one that has not yet seen kitkat.

hell...i juz received the 4.4.2 update and start facing so many issues especially the sd card file permission..
It did hav solution but require root..so i thaught maybe reverting to previous version will do..
But now, my note 3 is hopeless and wondering if samsung will release a fix for this ;-(

Well, It can happen now. It may be a little too late for many who might have moved on to newr phone by now. But as a new n9005 owner I struggled hard to downgrade to 4.3 without any issues. So by trial and error I managed to do it taking cues from the original post in another thread. My reason for the downgrade was better battery life. But that did not happen after downgrade. AT least not in a significant way.. Anyway here's my strategy in summary for those who want to downgarde to 43 with no issues. It worked for me. IMEI ok, video recording ok. But I give no guarantee for others. I am not allowed to provide links so will just provide enough clues to loacte them.
Here's what I did:
Again to remind use this is to downgrade N9005 FROM 4.4.2 TO 4.3
The starting point is 4.4.2 rom version N9005XXUGNG1. I had N9005XXUGNG1_VFGGNH1 if you have Android 5.0 first downgrade to this
1. Do A Wipe Data Factory Reset and cache partition
2. Odin: Flash In AP the file "COMBINATION_FA43_N9005XXUGNH1_N9005OXAGNH1_267031 2_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5."
3. Odin: Flash In AP a JB compatible cwm/twrp (look up in this forum) recovery for N9005
5. Boot into Recovery and do a Data/Cache/Dalvik wipe
6. Install in recovery Omega Rom 4.0 for N9005 JB 4.3 (N9005_Omega_v4.0_XXUDMJ7_md5_A7256B2A7F2E7005A65A 6E1CA5EA77C9.zip
7. Done! you will be running a fully working Jelly Bean 4.3 ROM!
Search google for the download links for the required files in 2 and 6. I got them form google search
Thanks InSenex! Would it be possible to flash a _stock_ 4.3.x ROM after the procedure described by you? Omega is a custom ROM, or am I mistaken?
Omega is custom rom.

Its a stock based touchwiz custom rom. Its tweaked stock rom. Its not a custom rom like cm, aosp, aokp etc. Those wishing to desperately downgrde to 4.3 probably would not care about tweaked stock rom or original stock rom

Omega is STOCK based touchwiz tweaked rom. I believe you can make it a pure stock rom by stripping off all the optmizations/tweaking done to it, replacing deleted stocke files from an extracted stock rom, or flash a cwm/twrp flashable jelly bean stock rom (Not sure if it exists, but there are guides on how to make a flashable stock rom)
Original question answered correctly .
<Omega is a custom ROM, or am I mistaken? >
Its a custom rom .
Based on Samsung firmware yes .
Thats why its in Android Development section .
Please be carefull of giving users wrong / confusing information .
Hey guys!
I've read everything I could but everything I have found is still a little vague for me since I need a more specific answer.
I have a I337M running CyanogenMod 11 M9 with "I337MUMUAMG1" baseband on Telcel (Mexico). Can I jump from "MG1" to "I337MUMUFNE2", which is the lastest for Telcel (May 16) without having major problems? I dont really want to mess up anything but CM M10 to M12 (and M13 will without a doubt) requieres me to update my baseband since is not connecting to mobile data.
I read that I need to load the latest stock ROM and then re-root, re-custom recovery and then re-flash CM 11 XX. Im also worried about the Knox thing and new bootloaders messing with the sound and WiFi.
Is there a guide I have totally missed to do this?
I found this thread were djdedonrg posted just the modem Im looking for (NE2), Can I just flash it with Odin and be good?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/modem-4-4-2-i337mumufne3-t2815999
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
You can try flashing a newer modem, thought i don't think there should be a problem as long as you flash stock firmwares. you can freely Odin things with i337M
Yeah you can Flash only the modem via ODIN, I actually have the I337MUMUFNE2 Modem on my SGH-I337m from Telcel Mexico with a custom ROM
You dont need to flash the entire Stock ROM.

Thanks, I updated shortly after posting the second message but the FNE2 is giving me lots of disconnections and slow speeds in the city I just moved. I'm going back to AMG1.
You can change modems however you want no without any troubles, right?
Thanks in advance!
Yes U Can try different modems and choose it the best for you...

Hi, i need help choosing a good modem. I am currently using my samsung s4 on the o2 uk network. I dont know much about the right modem.
But how can i find the latest modem that is designed to operate on a uk network?
any help is much appreciated.
What's wrong with the modem firmware that is currently on your S4?
Under ordinary circumstances the modem firmware is only changed when the ROM itself is changed. For example, an OTA update to go from Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.0.1 would include a new modem designed for Android 5.0.1. The only time the modem firmware may need to be changed outside of an OTA update is if the device is rooted and the user is installing a custom Android 5.x ROM. This is because custom ROMs do not include updated modem firmware or bootloaders. In that case the modem would be updated manually using the Odin software.

thanks for responding,
Before i flashed my phone to a custom rom the signal i received was very good. however, since i have flashed a few roms along with their matching baseband i have noticed that the signal is not as good as it was before the phone was flashed.
i can only assume that i have changed a baseband to one of which is not suited to the uk networks, if that is a possibilty. i was wondering which baseband would be best suited for a uk network?
that is if not using the correct baseband can cause signal issues?
The correct baseband for your device should be I9505XXUHOB7. If that isn't what you're running you can download it from the baseband thread in S4 General and flash it through Odin. If you're running something later than that though, I wouldn't bother changing it. For example, my I9505 was originally on O2 before being unlocked, and it's using a later baseband, I9505XXUHOF2, which happens to be from the unbranded German ROM. I'm having no issues using it on Straight Talk here in the United States.
While updating the baseband can help, you might also want to investigate whether the ROM itself might actually be the source of your signal woes.

Im currently running the 4.4.2 XXUGNK4 goldeneye rom. would it still be ok if i went ahead and flashed the I9505XXUHOB7 along with it considering that is a lollipop version of the baseband?
In that case you'd want to get the latest Android 4.4.2 baseband possible from the aforementioned thread and install that. You'd cause more problems if you tried using the HOB7 baseband while still using an Android 4.4.2 bootloader.

thanks , ill try that now.
a little of topic is it possible to flash a lollipop bootloader and then revert back to a bootloader designed for the 4.4.2 kitkat roms?
You'd have to try it and find out. I do believe it's possible since Knox is in both bootloaders, but I haven't had a reason to test it.
