Hello,
I'm having some trouble getting a custom ROM to function properly. I've tried two different Google based ROMs and I no signal whatsoever. I have a friend who has the same phone, same provider and country and can get these ROMs working fine. He suggested that it is due to my older modem version and should consider updating it. I was told I could simply revert back to the stock Samsung ROM and do a Software Update and it should grab the new modem firmware but when I tried to do this, it told me my phone had been modified and I could not receive updates. How can I update the modem version to the newest without having to restart from an unrooted factory default phone?
Any suggestions and help are appreciated
Thanks

Okay, well here's some progress. I found a .tar.md5 file of the latest 4.3 Jelly Bean for the SGH-I337M.
After downloading the md5 file, I opened it with an archiver and I see the 'modem.bin'.
Can I install this modem binary file via the 'phone' option in ODIN to update my modem version to MK6?
Thanks

Hi,
I had installed the CyanogenMod 10.2 available in the original android development section on my I9500. I flashed it in the morning. everything was working fine except camera till afternoon. Suddenly on afternoon i observe that my phone has entered into emergency signals mode and was not connected to my mobile network. First i thought it was signal problem but upon reading found out that it is IMEI getting changed problem. I have installed Stock ROM again to try if it solves the problem but sadly it doesnt .
Anyone out there faced the same issue and can help me?
Thanks

I have an Indian model I9500 . I tried flashing Omega Rom before trying CM. For Omega ROM i flashed XXUBMG9. After that i flashed back the Stock firmware I9500XXUAMDE_I9500ODDAMDC_INU. Then i flashed CM. CM worked fine for half a day. Then it failed connecting to my network.
With the method you are telling i flashed my stock firmware modem first, but it didnt work. Now i flashed XXUBMG9 and it worked.
Can't i go back to my stock firmware modem now? Am I stuck with this modem ?

you still on the first old firmware for India (MDE).
you can take ota update and then the modem will be replaced. or flash latest Indian firmware (MG5) and you will be on full stock.
PS. i guess that modem does not affect warranty.

MEA firmware came with DDUBMEA modem. try to flash this modem alone as "phone" twice http://d-h.st/c9i
any way these are all INS firmwares http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=INS#firmware
I tried flashing MEA modem twice all other Indian Modems twice and nothing worked. It is only working on XXUBMG9 modem. I am really stuck on this modem.
Does anyone has a theory of why this is happening? Omega ROMv14 wanted flashing this modem as a prerequisite. I had flashed this modem before flashing Omega. Then i went back to my stock and flashed CM over my stock ROM. CM wasworking fine till sometime , then it started to drop the signals and later i realized i lost my imei. If i flash back the MG9 modem the i get the proper my phones imei and network connects. But for all other modem of india it just shows the generic imei and doesnt connect to network.
Can anyone help me postmortem this case and tell what went wrong where?
all failed

Hello,
Need 4.2.2 firmware i337m (Bell Canada) please
The File at Sam Mobile version 4.2.2 for Bell fails at 2% upload in Odin 3.09
The other file available there, an older 4.2.2 is corrupt once downloaded (tried 3 times).
Reason I was flashing back to 4.2.2 is because with the new Bell 4.3 firmware, network unlock codes no longer work (changed??) and neither does USB unlocking (new security feature).
The File at Sam Mobile version 4.3 for Bell works fine hence it's not my Odin setup causing the issue.
It is conceivable that the new 4.3 firmware from this provide is the cause of the Odin failure at 2% for 4.2.2 ?
Any other good reliable sources for a 4.2.2 firmware version pre ME1 ?
Thanks!

If ypu flash 4.3 you cant go back to 4.2 without issues
Thanks, but tried twice, - fails at 2% with ODIN
Downloaded file twice ! From Sam Mobile !
There are 2 files there for my provider (BELL), the oldest one is corrupt when downloaded, the most recent fails at 2%. Unless I could use another provider file (Telus) that uses the same network... Unlock phone with codes, the flash back to 4.3 (BELL). I'm not sure that the Unlock codes are provider dependent or just IMEI dependent.
What do you think?

Hello,
When ever I download a firmware file it comes as one file, e.g.: I9505XXUBMGA_I9505ITVBMH1_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5
When I put it in Odin (AP) I get a Fail(Auth) error. However, when I try to install a firmware that is divided into separate files, e.g.:
AP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CSC_OXA_I9505OXAFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
The flashing procedure succeeds, I use the same cable and the same USB port.
What could be the cause?

Ived seen a few people saying you can downgrade your phone into 4.3 by using mobile odin pro...So do this at your own Risk. And Sammobile released another kitkat leak 4.4.2 FNAD firmware today so you might wanna check that out . And im sure Samsung will release the Official kitkat firmware soon .

I have another question. The reason I opened this thread is because i'm having reception issues for quite some time.
I changed to a different carrier today, the device cannot connect to the new carrier, I also changed to the new firmware
you just mentioned, still nothing.
Should I try to flash a different modem? if so, which of the modems are compatible with this version of firmware?
Thanks

Hi All
I have the following error on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Exynos (N900).
My phone was rooted and Ive been running a custom ROM. Now I want to go back to stock but when I load any stock rom I get the Baseband Unknown and no IMEI number problem.
I have tried
* 4 different stock roms - same issue
* flashed separate modem driver - same issue
* restored EFS folder/partition - same issue
The only way I can get it to work again is by loading the custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503206).
Seeing as the custom ROM works and everyone says the problem is with the EFS folder. I backed up the EFS folder with Custom Rom loaded and restored the EFS folder with stock ROM loaded. Still the same issue - Baseband Unknown and no IMEI number.
I know there are a lot of posts regarding this issue and all seem to point to the EFS folder. Mine however doesnt seem to be a EFS folder issue.
Any other ideas?
Just FYI I also ran the KNOX warranty reset (not sure if this is relevant)
Thank you
Morne
Only thing that fixed my phone with that same issue was SPT box. Ask your local repair shop
I had unknown baseband and null imei yesterday on my N9005 after flashing stock rom using Odin. After 5 hours trying to find a solution I almost lost hope but then I tried flashing a other modem and it worked Phone works now and I have been using it all day.
The modem I flashed is CP_N9005XXUFNG2
I flashed it on N9005XXUEND5 (Nordic)
So my tip for you is to try find a different modem for your phone and flash it using Odin
Hope it helps

i am going to try now... i will inform you soon...
I could not select to thick phone bootloader update, during stock rom installation.
We have to find necessary files sperately to correct what we did wrong, and during normal stock installation damaged side does not rewritten that results still imei null and basband unkown (
1-) i try stock rom with pit files 718 and 805 eur open 32GB for N9005 but not fixed..
2-) Tried different modems on different stock or custom roms ...
Now time to find BOOTLOADER FILES TO INSTALL WITH ODIN )
Not sure this would help but have you tried a Factory Reset with clearing all cache's? If it works then try reflashing your stock saved ROM over it to regain all your apps.
Here is what happend.
The rom I was using before I got unknown baseband and null imei was N9005XXUFNF4. Note, this is the latest UK rom. I then flashed a Nordic rom that was available at that time which was N9005XXUEND5. Note, this rom is older and uses an older modem than N9005XXUFNF4. This caused unknown baseband and null imei for me.
The reason why I flashed in the first place was because I'm from Sweden and the new update that N9005XXUFNF4 had was available OTA on N9005XXUEND5 rom.
The latest Nordic rom that I downloaded from sammobile is N9005XXUFNG2. Note, this rom uses N9005XXUFNG2 modem, the same modem I flashed on N9005XXUEND5.
Problem now is that I can't receive OTA because it now thinks that I got the latest update already because I got the latest modem installed.
I flashed latest Nordic rom N9005XXUFNG2 today and everything is working fine now.

My N9005 32GB story little bit unkown.
It is Stupid Story but i did not check original rom was 4.3 or 4.4.2 ??? Because i got 2 new phones from my friends to make root and install custom ROM. One of them was 4.4.2 rom that i was sucessfully root and install omega20 ROM. I suppose both phone was same and did not checked second one then when i was installing 4.4.2 CWM KK files with ODIN phone was freeze and fail !!!
I tried many stock roms and custom roms some recovery fix scripts etc. etc. Finally i start to use Mirek's method till adb commands... Last thing that i could not success to check Mirek's method is good for my phone... Last step was writing serial number IMEI no to dev block but i could not do it...Because of my adb knowledge nothing. I did many things blindly ) let me do try and see the results...
Let's forget about past. Please advice me what should i do now to try to fix the phone.
Final status is ROM installed stock SEE ROM and my CSC now EUR but still imei null and unknown baseband... AP:N9005XXUFNG2 , CSC:N9005OXXFNG2
I am sure that the phone info shows original CSC EUR, this phone was XSI. During the custom rom installation CSC was changed. ( sweet rom can change CSC code, during aroma installation asking to select CSC ).
Any advice ?
Thanks and Regards.

I have 6 different N9005 LTE modems 5 of them failed. now i am trying last one.
installing with odin two times with unthicked autobootloader as mentioned read one of the xda forum tread.
A question how can i know modem installed succsesfully because of unkown baseband phone info shows nothing !!!
is there another way to understand installed modem ?
i plan to install last E3 modem which was latest. i started from oldest to newest. on XXuFNG2 rom and csc EUR. if last one fail then i plan to follow mireks methods with adb commands. i was reading adb commands on android.com and viewed many videos on youtube about adb..
i am still working reading trying but still imei null and unknown baseband.
Same boat
I'm in the same boat as you guys!
No network, baseband, imei, nothing
I was on 4.3 MK2 XSI and flashed KK netherlands PHN stock ND3.
On first flashing, I got error "invalid ext4" on odin 3.09
Then I flashed the same ND3 with pit file and it passed.
Then this happened. no network, imei.
BTW I have EFS backup in .IMG backup which has that mc11.something file. But replacing that is of no use.
What do you guys suggest ? Can I flash NG2 stock on this XSI region stock ?
Will I require to use PIT file ?
Thanks
Hi all, just updated the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to CyanogenMod 5.1.1 ROM. Phone doesn't recognize SIM card (I live in UK) anymore, baseband is showing as "unknown" under the About Phone section. Please can someone let me know where I can download the Baseband/Modem firmware for SM-N910F?
Many thanks!
You could attempt to download the full stock firmware by either using 'Samfirm' or the website 'Sammobile'
Unbranded Note 4 CSC is BTU but it is currently still on Android 5.0.1 but the modem and bootloader will still work fine with Cyanogenmod ROMs.
Right, I did download the official Samsung firmware N910FXXU1BOC5 from a website, but when flashing with Odin 3.09 I was getting a error. So I ended up using the customized ROM which didn't seem to have the baseband/model inside. How could I extract the baseband from the official firmware in MD5 format?

Bootloader
Modem
Put your phone in download mode manually (Pull the battery out and put it back in after 10 seconds and then hold volume down + Home button and power on the device) Then connect it to your PC and run Odin as Admin and flash the bootloader and modem.
Make sure you uninstall Kies if you have it installed.

Hi mate,
I have a quick question with which I hope you can help (if you have the time of course ). There is a newer firmware version for UK, which is COK3 (and O2, which is what I have), and I'd like to update to this one, but the only way I know would be to update the phone entirely and then root it again and install whatever mod rom I'm using from there. However, this would be a painful lot of work. Do you know (or mind sharing) how to extract the baseband from an official md5 release so as to update this only or as well as the bootloader? Is there any way to put the entire firmware md5 file on Odin and tell the software to update just one thing?
I saw that you did just that above and I'm having some trouble with the phone connection being lost quite often, so it would be of great help.
Many thanks in advance for your help mate!
Cheers

Thanks for the quick response mate! You are the man! I still have a couple of questions though. Firstly, what's the difference between the cp and bl files in the link in your signature? I take it that bl stands for bootloader, but not sure of what cp stands for then. In any case, the most important bit I need/want is the baseband, and since I'm in the UK and my network carrier is O2, I believe the XXU1COK3 (as per Sammobile) would be my best bet, is that right? Will it make much of a difference with the XXU1COJ3 that I have installed right now? In any case, is the bl-cok3.tar file in your link the same XXI1COK3 baseband?
Secondly, that other post that you included is for a galaxy s3 and within that topic they link to a galaxy s4 topic, will those files and guidelines also work for our note 4?
Finally, I have TWRP recovery and within advanced backup I can individually backup the boot (which I imagine is the bootloader) and the modem (which I suppose is the baseband as such). Do you know if I could I install a new firmware through Odin and, backup the modem and boot, and then restore everything but those two things from an different rom backup? Have you ever tried?
Thank you for your time bro! I know that these might be a little bit of a newbie's questions but for more thar I search, I can't find anything close enough to answer what I'm asking.

In the bootloader and modem folders I have included the latest Odin, if you use that the 'CP' and 'BL' will make sense.
CP= Modem
BL=Bootloader
The steps should still work for the Note4.
I don't back-up and restore bootloaders or modems using TWRP.

Aah OK, that makes sense. But then the modem I am talking about is not in that list, is it? However, the bootloader is I think. Is there any chance you could extract the xxu1cok3 modem for the UK and O2 to add it to your list? ?? Pretty sure other people would appreciate it too, I know I would :good:

The modem isn't COK3, only the bootloader was.
The modem was COJ3.

Yep, that's what I thought. And the coj3 is the modem I have now (not working so well ). As I said, Any chance you could extract the cok3 modem from the full firmware to add it to your list?
Thanks in any case mate!

I don't see a point in doing that, it won't make a difference. The firmware does not have a 'COK3' modem. So I can't extract it if it doesn't exist. The O2U firmware had a bootloader of COK3, CSC of COJ1 and modem of COJ3.
If the modem isn't working well then you should flash a stock firmware for your region and apply the appropriate CSC.

Oooooouuuch! Sorry mate, my bad, I must ve read it wrong and only seen what i wanted to see. I was convinced I saw that that firmware release came with modem too.
In any event, thanks mate as you saved me a lot of time wasting with that last attachment
