Can't flash any modem? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I don't know how and why I can't flash any modems with odin.
I tried many times on many roms and every time it was successful. But when I check my baseband it's always MJ5 modem.
How can that be?
Sorry for my bad English. I'm german.

Try this one mate
Turn off your phone and Boot into downloadmode
Open Odin
Untick Autoreboot
Select Phone/CP (.Tar file)
Connect both cables
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Power+Voldown)
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.

The important thing is (as Repulsa says) to MANUALLY boot into download mode, do NOT use any options from an extended power menu.

[Q] NEED HELP! My S4 doesn't like ROMs above 4.2.2. WHY ???

Hi,
It looks like my phone doesn't like ROMs above 4.2.2. All the ROMs i flashed, have a signal problem and occasionally, the WiFi doesn't work.
I've tried to change the modem but whatever version i try... i cannot change it. My baseband (XXUBMG7) is the same.
Now i have flashed via ODIN (as a last resort cause i didn't know what else to flash or try) and lost root and all, the official version available for my country (Romania) hoping for a resolution but... no chance :crying:.
As you can see in the picture... when i turn the screen on, i have no signal. Tho i can receive calls when my screen is off.
After a while my signal appears and i can make phone calls.
I can's stay like this... please help! Any suggestions ?

But the problem is that I try the odin but odin does not change , I've tried several times does not change the modem , need urgent help
you should follow the guides to the letter, including remembering to untick autoreboot and also make sure that you turn off and remove battery before you boot into download mode etc i.e. don't use reboot menu or recovery reboot ,menu to get to download mode. if you follow the instructions exactly, it will work fine.

S5 Stuck on samsung logo after flashing Philz recovery

This is the first time I'm rooting my phone. Process went smooth upto granting Super user excess to RashR (Flash Tool). And Download Philz Recovery Zip. After that I can only see Samsung Logo. Please Help!
PS: It's not going into Recovery Mode.
What S5 variant do you have and what version of Android are you running?

G900H. Lollipop. I used Odin with this file - CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.tar (the process I used for rooting). It has come out of boot sleep. When I'm trying to go into recovery mode, it gets stuck at Logo. My phone is working right now but doesn't go into recovery mode. Can you help me solve this? I want to try Marshmallow. Thanks!
make sure the MD5 hash matches, if you don't know how to hash MD5 look it up, if it fails just redownload the recovery tar because your download was corrupted

Try to flash TWRP recovery
Use ODIN to flash recovery, not some flash tool from G Play, it might have flashed the wrong version recovery
With ODIN, you do it manually, so if you flash the wrong version, it's because you didn't check it first, not because you let some random app do it for you

Hi,
Can you please refer a link which I can follow. I followed steps from a youtube video(with a good number of likes and views) which lead to this. I've zero experience in rooting and all. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Loads of guides kicking about here in the S5 forum
Basically grab TWRP 2.8.7.0 .TAR for your model S5, load it into the AP or PDA section of ODIN, put your phone in download mode (Vol down & Home & Power from a powered off state), connect phone to PC USB, make sure drivers are installed, then hit start on ODIN
It should start the flashing process, and say success once done

I tried using Odin and nothing happened. Tried using TWRP Manager. Getting this error - "Either you already have this recovery installed or another error has occured. Would you like to attempt rebooting to recovery now?"

What do you mean, nothing happened with ODIN?
Did you add the TWRP .TAR (Do not extract)?
Phone was in download mode?
Drivers were installed?
Could ODIN see the phone? Did it show the COM port at the top?

OK, a common problem
Uncheck the "Auto reboot" setting in ODIN
When it's finished flashing, unplug the phone and pull the battery out of the phone, replace it, and boot straight into recovery with vol up, Home and Power

Flashed BL and CP now phone won't boot

I have flashed a BL and CP with Odin, now my phone won't boot.
I can restart it, but cannot load up recovery or even the download screen.
Holding power + home and volume down does nothing, just restarts the phone.
No download mode looks really strange, TWRP recovery could be overwritten by samsung recovery if choose the wrong option, did you choose the right slot to flash?

I was able to get into Download mode in the end, but still not sure what to do. I select BP for BP and CP for CP, but as stated it just don't get further then the initial screen.
In your place in download mode I would flash stock rom just to recover the phone and then think what to do next...

Yes, you can download any firmware for your devide at sammobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/) and flash it via ODIN using the AP option. It should leave your phone as new.
Also you can try the emergency recover from smartswitch, that will recover your device too.
I copy @alehawk it's the easy way, than flash TWRP from scratch, just be sure Phone is recognized by drivers

Have you flashed the latest version of TWRP through Odin after flashing BL and CP?

Flashing Stock Rom with Odin on Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos)

I bought the phone from out of my country and I'd like to flash my country's firmware (without triggering KNOX) for getting better signal, proper connection info (Lte+ , 4.5G)
I flashed the firmware via Odin (putting BL, AP, CP and CSC in their area) and nothing has changed in the phone (CSC etc.). Is there something should be done before flashing stock firmware via Odin?

Before you flash through odin make sure you wipe data and cache through stock recovery on the s7 edge, then flash your countrys stock firmware when its done dont let your phone complete the first boot. Make sure you wipe data and cache through the recovery after this let it boot up. It now should be on your countrys csc.

So I need to go into stock recovery by pressing volume up + home button + power button and select wipe cache partition, power down the device, volume down + home button + power button into download mode, flash stock firmware. After flashing the firmware it automaticly restarts and boots up. How can I wipe cache before it boots up?

You need to wipe cache and wipe data factory reset before and after the stock firmware flash. Also when it says pass on odin or it disconnects have your phone ready in your hand so when the screen goes black hold the recovery button combination and let go when you see the samsung logo. If the phone stars turning on just hold power + volume up + home button, when the phone shuts off let go of the buttons and very quickly hold them again and let go when the samsung logo appears.

I don't want to sound contradictory, but I have flashed quite a few different firmwares on my S7 Edge and I never had to go through the steps you suggested to get a successful flash.
Here are the steps I have done:
1) Make sure phone has OEM unlocked in Developer Settings
2) Select USB Debugging in Developer Settings
3) Download firmware that I want to us - Unzip and place AP, BL, CP and CSW in the correct slots in Odin.
4) Flash via Odin
5) Reboot
Also make sure you are using the latest Odin - "Odin-3.12.3"
I don't know if enabling USB Debugging is necessary but I have always included that step - I beleive making sure OEM unlock is selected is necessary. (do this in developer settings - to activate developer settings go to About Phone, Software Info, click on Build Number a bunch of times until you see "developer settings has been enabled".
I have updated firmware at least 7 times since I purchased the S7 EDge, maybe more, following those same steps every time and never had an issue. Not once.
That was my experience - as anything when flashing roms, YMMV.
Good Luck

OEM unlock and usb debugging is unnecessary when flashing stock firmware.
You need OEM unlock only when you flash something custom (TWRP, custom rom, root, etc) or else phone won't boot.

You don't need to do what I am saying for a successful flash. You only need to do this when you want to change your csc without root
