[Q] [Active] Baseband Version

I am running geohots root and did a one click oden because my ringers got screwed up when doing a restore with TBu. I was looking at my baseband version today after reading about the recent upgrade to the stock SG4 and noticed that I have the following listed : I537UCUAMF1. I checked out what AT&T says I should have (or at least the latest) is : Baseband Version: I537UCUAMF3
Doing a few searches of the forums I was not able to find anything that suggested this should be the case. What do you all have?

MF1 is the pre-release version MF3 is the current version. The one-click we have is for the prerelease and will not update OTA. As of now there are no known ways to get back to MF3.. but there is no discernible difference between MF1 and MF3.

Thank you for clarifying

[Q] Help with FLASHING ROMS ETC...

Hi guys I'm new here and need some help...
I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on baseband version XXUBMGA. I have rooted and installed TWRP v2.5.0.0.
1) I have TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I want to update to TWRP v2.5.0.2, can i just flash the latest version through Odin? Or do I need to remove the older version of TWRP first? If so, how?
2) I'm looking for a rom for my phone like the Google Edition but with more features, however I want the phone to be stable and be able to be used as a daily driver. I have seen a rom called JellyBam, has anyone had any experience with it and if so, was it good?
I would like to go with CynagoenMod but there are only nightlies for the i9505 and I heard they are unstable with a lot of bugs, is this true? Is the latest version stable?
Cheers!

Hi,
1. No you don't need to remove, just flash the newer version over the one you have. Usually you will find this information on TWRP thread on first pages.
2. To keep features of the phone, just check development forums for I9505 and read more about the custom ROMS available there and what people saying about and you gonna be able to decide yourself what suits you best.
Cheers

1) flash it with odin, it will replace the old one.
2) you can try roms and decide. (read posts on rom threads to have an idea)

Thanks both for the replies, greatly appreciated! I will have a look at the section here on XDA and decide Thank for the help!

A link to a guide to install 4.4.2 would be nice, what's the best ROM to install currently?
Thanks

Andy I had Omega v21 but the wifi wouldn't turn on and Security force closed Settings. Omega's BL file isn't partitioned for Odin to see and the latest BL didnt work for me. Any suggestions?

theres two files you have to flash for omega v21, before installing the rom, the bootloader and modem below is the link to the post, youll find the instructions there just make sure you flash both the files via odin before flashing the rom via custom recovery

Newbie here, questions about "slots", flashing, and builds.

Hello all,
My first post and my first galaxy s5! I just got my s5 (unlocked, used) and am already tired of all the verizon stuff that I can't or don't want to use. I looked into rooting it and it seems like I will be able to. But now I started looking into adding a new rom and am very confused. (So confused I don't know where to start) In the forums here I have read some cool stuff but also they use a lot of abbreviations for programs and such that I am not familiar with. Anyway, I have read references to "Slots", what are those and how do I make them? It seems like it would be useful and maybe help me not brick my phone.
How can I tell which roms I can flash (correct term?) to my phone? If I have an older build, can I add a newer build and do I want to? (I've read that the latest builds make the phone non rootable)
I know, a lot of questions. Please point me in the right direction.
Below is my phone info:
Samsung SM-G900V
Android 5.0
Baseband version G900VVRU1B0C4
Kernal 3.4.0
Build # LRX21T.G900VVRU1B0C4
Hardware version G900V.05
Anything else?
All your help is greatly appreciated.

Don't update the phone! As long as you are below oe1 (you are) you can still downgrade and root. Then install safestrap (where the slots come in) but most people use the stock slot. You can flash roms on that slot. Check the catchall thread for specifics.

Ok,
I will try to root it. then get back to you guys.
Thanks

Ok,
So after an interesting and sometimes frustrating night of downloading and flashing, my phone is rooted and now is android 4.4.2 with a build of KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG. I guess the next step is finding and installing safestrap? (Final goal would be to flash a non verizon rom with no bloatware and all the desired functions of my phone available.)
Thanks.

There's a safestrap thread in android development section. There was a revised build that was uploaded that you should use

Thank you, I will look it up.
I have since uploaded rooted 5.0 using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784 .
Now, safestrap and custom rom. Thanks all!

Hi all,
I am now on 15-4 and moving to 15-5. I was wondering, is there a "visual voicemail" type app that would work for a non verizon account?

Update to MM from rooted 4.4? Cant find a guide anywhere =/

Here is what I am currently running
The phone is currently rooted.
GM-G900V
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: G900VVRU1ANI2
Kernal Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: OptimalROM R12-6
I want to upgrade to MM and install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-ressurrection-remix-mm-t3275340
I also want to upgrade my kernal.
When everything is said and done, I of course want to be rooted.
Now I cant seem to find answers anywhere. I love this site, but finding a helpful guide is painful. So many different version of threads. I found several threads where people were asking the same thing but there were no good answers. So I imagine this could help others too.
If someone could tell me exactly what I need to do to upgrade to MM and get this new ROM installed, I would be insanely grateful.

Hi skoad
You have a Verizon and, as so, you may first start by reading the below:
[GUIDE] Unlocking the Galaxys S5 Bootloader using DEV Bootloader [KK-MM]
As soon as you find yourself comfortable, you will need first update your Bootloader (mentioned above) and Modem partitions. To do so you should flash a Sammobile firmware using Odin.
These are the firmwares available for you but only the first one is Marshmallow and your aim.
You may follow these general instructions obviously regarding your device data.
The Kernel update will be done by the ROM you are focusing to install and it will be rooted already.
Let us know how it performed with Stock.
Cheers.

Thanks a ton. I am pretty busy this weekend but will be giving this a shot Monday and will report back. What youve provided seems very helpful and straightforward, just what I was hoping for!
