I recently upgraded my SM-N9005 to 4.4.x (tried several ROMs: stock 4-in-one & 5-in-one, CM11 & Omega v12) however they all show unknown baseband & null IMEI number. Flashing 4.4.x modems (ZHUENB5 & ZHUENC2) again did not help. After many tries I found that flashing a 4.3 modem (both XXUBMI5 & ZHUDMK1 work) on top of a stock 4.4.x rom solved my problem.
But why can't my phone use a 4.4.x modem? Does anyone have similar issues or have some clues to share? Thanks in advance!

You can start by going to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ to check if you are using the correct firmware.
Once you got that, head to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 and find the firmware and flash it via Odin. And make sure to read the instructions, whether you need to flash both GSM and LTE modems.
yaa. but i'm from bangladesh and my s4 is importe from HK. now is there any modem driver for my carrier 'teletalk' ?
BTW what if i flash my I9505 with a 9500 modem, cause that version has TML, which is code for bangladesh.
If you updated to 4.3 via an OTA or Kies or flashed a stock odin rom you'll have a knox boot loader. Once you have a knox boot loader you can not downgrade to any lower version. You can flash modems though there is a thread in the S4 General section with various modems have a look in there.

Yes because it is extremely stupid.
Currently I'm on a Pre-rooted stock ROM and would really like to update as stock OTA is not working.
Info:
Model : GT-I9505
Android : 4.2.2
Baseband : I9505XXUBMGA
Kernel : 3.4.0-1081224
Build number : JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA
So, I don't have the newer bootloader with KNOX yet.
Further, I already installed CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery
My questions:
Can I simply install CM10.2.1 or CM 11.2 through CWM?
Or do I have to update the bootloader first or does it include in CM?
Is there a catch in updating my phone concerning KNOX and chance of bricking?
I'm I stuck on CM or can I always revert to my backup of rooted stock 4.2.2?
Thanx in advance for any help.
I searched, but couldn't find correct answers...
Yes you can just install cm but if you try to install newer touchwiz roms then you need to change your modem. And wrong section....

So KNOX is all about stock Samsung ROMs?
And I don't need an updated bootloader for all other ROMs like CM and OMEGA and can switch between them without issues?
yes.

Knox is basically a counter to counter rooters. You should be able to flash any ROM like normal but there may be some changed needed to be done for the modem. I'm sure there are multiple threads about the i9505 modems...

Anyone else experiencing this problem? I was running stock 4.2.2 with no problems and now I'm having erratic signal problems. I've tried 3 different roms and even got roms and they are all the same. Never had this problem on stock. Can I just flash a lower to rectify my problem or is this a kit at related issue?

The most normal is that u have wrong baseband. Dial *#1234# and attach it here.
* SOLUTION: Flash 2 times same Kit Kat firmware :highfive:

Sorry but do you mean I have to flash the same rom again? No need for full wipe or anything?
AP:I9505XXUGNE5
CP: i9505ZHUDMI1
Do you have TWRP recovery? If not flash that recovery and then flash the rom you want after a full wipe.
I dont know why but some roms give no signal when flashed with other recovery.

I see your CP is i9505ZHUDMI1. You should flash this ONE for avoid problems.

PDA: I9505ZHUFNB3
CSC: I9505ZZHFNB3

That's the stock Rom for the hk s4 variant. Is there anyway I can continue to use custom roms while getting back my signal strength?

Yeah, you need a custom recovery (TWRP/Philz Touch) for install customs roms. This will active KNOX (KNOX 0x1) and will void ur warranty. Only for your info :highfive:

I'm on a custom rom now with a custom recovery installed.
I'm sorry but I am confused. Are you trying to say that after flashing a Rom I need to flash a radio that's for hk?
The file you told me to download is 1.5gb I'm assuming it's a full Rom. Is there any way I can continue to use echo Rom while changing pda only?

You should tell me before that u had a custom rom installed. Well, things change now.
The problem maybe is the custom rom u have installed. Install one older version or simply ask in correct thread of the custom rom.
Lol I've tried echo Rom, omega Rom and Ge roms and they all have signal issues.

yes i tried latest kitkat baseband but it didnt work
You can see the rom/kernel name in about settings but so far as i know you probably have to reflash an kernel/rom to fix the sensors or you need to locate the sensor files from the g2 rom you're using and make an flashable zip from it.
same problem,how can i fix it,please help me
Can you guys to do a clean flash and flash KK modem first and then the rom?
Have you tried backing up your current rom, restoring stock rom backup, and restoring the custom rom again? Works for me every time.

Hello,

Hii all, i have a I9505 where i must go back from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2. I know this is no simple cause bootloader is locked but i listen someone have modified the stock rom for fix the bootloader problem. Someone have this rom allredy cooked? I hope you can solve this
I would need this hack too. There is a mayor sound problem with bluetototh on 4.3 and 4.4.2.
On 4.2.2 there was no problem, so will be very good to possible downgrade

maybe if we are more people asking the same thing someone will care us
This will never happen. No developer is interested in downgrading their firmware to 4.2.2.
What you could try is to find an old custom 4.2.2. rom and flash that on your phone. Maybe it works and maybe it doesn't.
I found old 4.2.2 but the wifi isnt working. I am noob in modem versions

Try flashing the KT-SGS4 kernel kernel and let me know if that fixes the WiFi.
Thanks for reply. Will test tomorrow and let you know the info.

You can't downgrade stock 4.2.2. You can only try to downgrade with a custom rom.

right but modem-firmware version will remain that of 4.4 the same when downgrade to 4.2
Hi.
Finally managed to test. I installed prerooted stock 4.2.2 via custom recovery. Then installed mobile odin and via this installed official stock 4.2.2. After that installed kernel link from upper posts and wifi (and everything else) works perfect. The only thing i need to do is reset counter with triangle away. It does not restart counter. It goes ok with reboot and confirm resetting, but when i check the counter still persist custom binary. If anyone can suggest me what to it would be perfect.
Later tonight i will post links which firmwares i installed.
