[Q] Unable to flash baseband

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.

Unable to flash MJ4 modem (SOLVED)

I have downloaded the MJ6 firmware for SM-N9005 which includes MJ4 modem.
I extracted modem.bin and put it in a .tar file to flash with Odin, as I have the DjeMBey MJ6 rom but old baseband.
It flashes successfully but my phone shows MI6 baseband still The problem is because "Auto Reboot" is ticked.
The solution to successfully flash MJ4 baseband is as follows:
1) Flash the modem.bin inside a .tar file in Odin under CP (or Phone). UNTICK THE "Auto Reboot" OPTION
2) WAIT UNTIL IT SAYS PASSED
3) Keep phone on, unplug phone, close Odin, plug into different USB port and open Odin again
4) Flash modem.bin inside .tar file again as in step 1
5) WAIT UNTIL IT SAYS PASSED
6) Keep phone on, unplug phone, close Odin, plug into different USB port and open Odin again
7) Flash stock NON-HLOS.bin file from MJ6 firmware in Odin
8) WAIT UNTIL IT SAYS PASSED
9) Take out battery
10) Reinsert battery
11) Profit
I hope this helps some people

Thanks, and modified my original post.

I made a N9005-2modemsMJ4-RomMJ6.tar.md5 whit both modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin.
(2modems means two files to one modem. For me must be flashed always together).
Flashed whit MobileOdin, worked very well. (on MO Chainfire call that modem and modem #2).
PS: By Odin3 I think must be also the same, both 2 files inside the .tar.md5
Hi @danieljamie
Your steps 1) to 11) on OP are horrible, I don't like same work. Sorry.

[Q] Note N9005 modem flashing

Hello everyone,
I know this question showed up a couple of times before, but I'm confused about the whole situation.
I own a Note3 International version bough from an official Samsung retailer in Poland.
Updated to 4.4 KitKat through official Samsung OTA update and a month later decided to go with a custom room. Installed TWRP and Omega 14 rom. Everything is fine, but I can't flash any modem.
Currently I'm running XXUENB1 modem and tried flashing the latest XXUEND6 from Omega repos and XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base, but with no sucess.
Tried flashing two times with Odin and than pulling the battery etc. The modem version stays the same. In download mode, it says write protection enabled, is it of any concern?
Is it possible to flash a modem on my Note 3?
Thanks for any help.

Under some conditions it seems that modems are hard to be written on phones with certain bootloaders and a custom recovery - but with stock recovery it seems to work better (and it also works with Mobile Odin Pro).

Right, so I tried the Odin Pro and it says after booting to recovery "Memory lock in place - TriangleAway may fix this. Skipping flash."
So I downloaded TriangleAway, did its magic, but with no result.
Still can't flash because of memory lock.
What can I do next?
Should I flash a stock rom with never modem like this one?

At this point do you have the stock recovery or a custom recovery?

Now I have a custom recovery TWRP 2.7.
Now trying stock... no go. Back with stock rom and recovery and still stuck with the old modem.
edit2: went stoch, rooted and tried to flash using mobile odin pro - no success because of write protection.

Could it be you need to Sim Unlock first? I'm sure I heard that somewhere. Give it a Google to see.

But I got the phone unlocked so there is no sim lock, what about this write protection?
Is there any way around it?
EDIT: I've tried with RegionLock Away it did it's magic but still I cant flash modems

Use triangle away. Even if the counter is zero, thew is a hidden counter that trips a write protect on the modem. After triangle away, it should work. Just be sure to follow the directions.

Yeah, your're right, I've messed it up completely.
Flashed a stock kernel, triangle away and odin pro... everything is fine. Flashed like crazy
Anyway manged to flashed the modem from XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base which is around 60MB's and has modem and modem #2 partitions. Question is how can I flash the modems from omega repos which are only 8MB and have one partition only. When flashing with Odin Pro version doesn't change, although flash is a success.

Are they modem.bin or the non-hlos files? Id really recommend doing modem flashes through desktop odin, especially if they're piece meal modems and not a full stock modem flash file.
Other than that I can't offer much assistance for non stock modems, but good luck in your endeavor, and glad I could point you in the right direction to at least get a stuck fladh to work. ?

The files are tar packed with a non-hlos.bin file inside.
Can I use those?

Those should be fine then. Might have to triangle away again first to remove the write lock again, but otherwise should be ok.

If you have 2 files modem.bin and non-hlos.bin on the sdcard, download this Terminal Emulator and try these commands: (required ROOT)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/non-hlos.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot

The problem is that modems from omega repos have only one file - non-hlos.bin.
They lack the modem.bin, for some reason.

You don't have to unzip the files from omega as they are tar and can be used in odin on computer(press pda look for your modem tar file & flash)

You can download the firmware for your device and extract to obtain the modem files.

If you still have a problem flashing the Modem, I used this 5 min. ago and it worked perfectly fine(used flashing instruction from x-note)
Download Odin3 v3.09 to your pc, download Modems from Omega(I used NC2) both GSM & LTE.
Put Odin and the Modems from Omega on PC Desktop.
Turn off your Cell Phone (power off normally). Take out your battery(wait 5 sec.) put it back in and boot in download mode(volume down+home+power) and than connect your phone to pc.
Open Odin and press AP and choose the GSM tar file from Omega.
Press start and wait for the phone to reboot.
Turn the phone off again and boot in download mode (same steps as before). Now look for the LTE tar file in AP and press start again.
You should now have your Modem Installed. Good luck mate

Help please fast

Hey guys,
I installed xtrestolite on my G900F and changed the bootloader and modem of my device before installing it. First problem i had was with CSC. It is a single CSC and i couldn't install my countries CSC on it. That's why i went back to stock. I installed Kit Kat firmware that i downloaded from sammobile and then changed CSC to my countries CSC. Then i updated firmware to lollipop using Kies3. But installing stock rom didn't change bootloader version or modem version. Now i have kitkat bootloader version, kitkat baseband version and lollipop firmware version all different and i want to them all to be the same(latest lollipop). Is there any way to do this without downloading stock rom from sammobile again ? And if not, then can i just put the tar.md5 file that i will download from sammobile in bootloader, pda and CP at the same time and install with odin ?
Thanks in advance !

You do not need to re-download or re-install your ROM. You need to download your bootloader and radio from somewhere, then flash those with ODIN.
Just an FYI, the modem doesn't always like to stick so you may need to flash (auto-reboot disabled), pull the battery after odin says "success", then flash again immediately.

AryaMod ROM help

Hello, want to download this ROM, but I'm a bit confused because I always flash the new roms manually using a cwm recovery only. I'm not an expert in these tar md5 files.. Anyways im running a stock lollipop N9005XXUENC2 and my question is can I flash AryaMod using the cwm only and without downloading the 2 tar files the developer mentioned in the main thread? If not, can you tell me exactly what I should do using Odin? Thanks..

here you go!

the thing is,
1. Make all necessary backups, install ODIN and Samsung drivers in PC, also download the necessary files (BL, CP and ROM).
2. remove battery and insert after 10 secs.
3. Directly boot into Download Mode via key combo (after getting into Download Mode, Open ODIN and also connect phone to PC).
[download both files, select "BL tar file" in BL and "CP tar file" in CP in ODIN]
4. Flash the BL and CP from OP via ODIN (after selecting two files, click Start, it will automatically restart and it will show Success)
5. Now after the phone is ON (Success message), disconnect from PC and enter Recovery Mode and flash ROM.zip
6. Select your Options in Aroma and enjoy.
The Dev recommended to use TWRP and also I had TWRP from start. You can check in the ROM thread whether anyone is doing this via CWM.
Good luck.
