VS980 - basebands, modems, kernels... help! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

VS980 noob in need of some assistance.
Tried to install Mahdi-Rom 2.5 (5/09) but I'm experiencing some bugs I believe are baseband/modem related, though I'm really not sure. Here's the current setup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Mahdi's default kernel
4.4.X modified baseband by dr87
12b modem
Rotation and the dialer do not work at all. Help me, XDA Developers. You're my only hope.

Because you are on a 12 baseband as shown above, did you install the Rom with Patch R1? If so, that is based off a 24a baseband, you need to upgrade to a full kitkat stock rom first.

Sorry, again... noob here. Since then I've gone back to stock 11a using tot with root and custom recovery. So I have to flash a KK rom first before using Mahdi? Is there one you'd recommend?

If you are using the Mahdi rom with the R1 patch, yes.
Below is one with clear instructions.

[Q] Need help about updating my phone

Hello guys,
I've got a phone by a friend (N4) which is everything on stock but it has francos kernel. Now, because he wants to update to the 5.0.1 version he gets this error message in recovery:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, can I just flash the stock kernel via fastboot and I'm done?
Are you trying to flash a ROM using the stock recovery? If so you're never going to have any luck trying to flash anything other than official stock zips, install TWRP/CWM (TWRP is my personal recommendation) and download the flashable stock 5.0.1 from the Android Development section!

Looks like he's trying to flash the ota update. In order to flash the ota you need to be 100% stock kernel, system, and recovery. Try what Bbeanss suggested, but you'll need to flash twrp. If he's stock except for the kernel flashing the stock kernel should work.

[Q] I flashed the wrong kernal and now SM-G900F won't boot

I'm an impatient idiot. Lol I accidentally flashed the wrong kernal through Odin and now the phone won't boot. Phone is an international model bought in Hong Kong. I flashed this one which is a kernal for NE2 (Old Rom Kernel for G900F ONLY, use F6 KERNEL FOR G900FD):
KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5
I found it on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
So now the phone won't boot but I can get into Download and Recovery mode. Can someone please tell me how to install/flash the correct kernal. Do I need to flash the stock software or can I install a custom ROM which will also include the correct kernal. Please help! Any links to the correct download would be great!
Thanks in advance.
This is where it gets stuck now:

That is easier to fix than flashing the wrong modem. Just flash a stock SM-G900F and you should be fine. You may opt to Wipe your Internal Memory and data clean to benefit from flashing.
Thanks, I flashed the stock with Odin and it works a treat.

That's because it's referred to just by OA3. Why does he need a modem?

Here are the stock ROMs- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59310363
I would try www.sammobile.com for the firmware. I downloaded it from there before I had to return mine.

I did. I flashed Wicked-X-v10.6, then the OH1 kernel, the L720T Converter, SystemUpdatesFix, Settings and then a few others like the Vol Boost, ViperEnabler and Xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter-V5-generic.zip

How Do You Find Bootloader Version?

How do you check to see what version bootloader you have? I have unlocked my bootloader on my Note 3 and am running OF1/5.0. Ready to install TWRP and new ROM. But, not sure if I have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader and can't seem to find a simple answer and how to confirm.

This is what you'll get... In my case.. NC4 bootloader (unlocked) and OF1 based OS (Jasmine ROM)

Thank you for the recommendation. I dig the app, though I still don't know which bootloader I have going by the 4.3/4.4 scale. I'm assuming by now I have the most current one, which ever one that is, because I installed the latest TWRP and am running CM13 with no issues thus far.

The last 3 digits represent the OS/bootloader/firmware versions. In my case, bootloader is NC4 which is 4.4.2, my baseband (modem) is NK1 which is 4.4.4 and the ROM base is OF1 which is 5.0
