[Q] i9505 Connection issues after flashing Phoenix rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have recently flashed my phone with Phoenix rom v9.0 upgrading from an older version omega rom. The installer went through without an issue but when it boots up it won't connect to the mobile network(vodafone australia). If I go to settings>more networks>Mobile networks>Network operators it searches and connects to vodafone and will work until the screen turns of then it disconnects.
In the install instructions it says if you lose connection when screen is off flash with latest kitkat modem. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
And flashed via Odin modem XXUGNF1. And still get the same issue. Please help!!

It's usually because you are on the old bootloader and are using a incorrect modem. If you are on the old bootloader you need a specific modem to work with Android 4.4.2. Im not sure which one though. You have to search for it.

Thanks will search for correct modem... If no such luck would just flashing the new bootloader fix this issue. Is losing the ability to downgrade the only dissadvantage to doing so?

I have flashed heaps of modems and still keeps cutting out on screen off. I have also tried to find a csc file for my country and carrier and no luck. Thinking of just jumping in and flashing the newest bootloader and modem to see if that fixes the problem. Is voiding the warranty the only issue with knox or will it stop me from flashing new custom Roms down the track?

[Q] No mobile data after flashing Wicked v.9.1 to stock slot

Recently flashed Wicked v. 9.1 onto the stock slot using safestrap recovery, so far the rom has been working fine, and I've set up the apn. When looking at device info it shows I am connected to AT&T and LTE, but my mobile network state is disconnected. Any solutions for this?

Check to see if you still have the same modem as you started with.... I flashed a rom, I had connection but would cut out now and again... ended up relashing the same modem that was on the phone before... (modem did not change) now I have data and solid connection for phone calls.

You sure mobile data is checked on in the settings? And did you flash the MK2 modules?
Google the kind of phone you have and ATT is your provider I take it? Include which version of android also so something like..... i337 modem att android 4.3 of course swtich the proper name and provider that you have. You don't want to be flashing the wrong modem you could end up with a paper weight....

[Q] New Radio to upgrade i377m from stock 4.2.2 MG1 to Kitkat

I have a Canadian Galaxy S4 i377m from Telus.
It's still running stock 4.2.2 MG1.
I want to upgrade to the KANGAKAT 4.4.2 ROM. I've been able to use TWRP to flash it and it seems to work correctly except that the Cell connection drops after the first call and then it says I have no service. For now, I restored my stock ROM and data from nandroid backup.
I have this exact problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49943845&postcount=1023
After lots of reading and research (it's my first time trying to flash a custom ROM), I think I need to update the radio.
Is MK6 the correct radio firmware to flash on my phone? Should I flash the radio before or after installing the new 4.4.2 ROM?
I know the radio firmwares are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667
What the hell is nonhlos.bin and do I need to pay attention to that?
I want a very stable GPE ROM. I won't be updating frequently and don't want to try many ROMS. Is kangakat the best choice?
Thanks for any and all help and advice.

For the modem, if your going to 4.4.2, you want to flash the NC1 modem. It has been listed in various threads on here. I just flashed the modem.bin file only, I have seen people get in trouble flashing the nonhlos file (loosing wifi and such). Just extract the modem.bin file and flash it through odin PC, make sure you take off the auto reboot as it takes longer to flash than odin allows before rebooting. Also when you flash, once odin says complete, boot back into download mode and repeat the flash, not sure this is necessary but it seems to help in some cases. as far as a GPE rom, check Danvh's thread, that one is build for Canadian phones, just make sure you don't flash anything that is just for I337 (US Version) you want to stick to roms that are specifically for i337m. There islikely going to be an update in th next month or so to 4.4.3 so it is up to you if you want to wait for that or flash again.....

Thanks for reply. Are these modem flashes reversible? I can always downgrade again, right?
I'll try this over the weekend.

I flashed the NC1 modem (twice) and installed Kangakat. Voice works fine but I have no data. I tried setting the telus Access point name and the Telus Mobile Network Operator. After searching networks, it finds Bell, Rogers and Telus. I select Telus and get a Network Registered notification but still no data.
I then flashed MK6 to try and again voice works fine but still no data.
In "About Phone" -> "Status" I always have
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
Edit: I made data work by creating a custom APN instead of relying on the preset APN:
These are the settings I used:
APN: sp.telus.com
No username/password
MMS APN: sp.telus.com
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
MMS Proxy: 74.49.0.18:80
I found these settings here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...Iphone-5-to-Galaxy-s4?p=15213963#post15213963
The preset APN in Kangakat for telus was
APN: isp.telus.com
but doesn't seem to work.
I tried this using modem MK6 and everything was working: voice and data.
I then flashed NC1 again and data was still working.
Finally I tried a speedtest using the LTE data connection.
5 MB/s down and 2MB/s up.

[Q] i9505 LTE modem flash issue

Hi all,
I've had my phone locked on Tele2 (CRO) network which I needed to unlock to be able to use T-mobile SIM. I've used Odin 3.04 and followed the instructions to update modem to I9505XXUFNB9. I've managed to unlock the network this way and use my new SIM but the connection (both phone and mobile data) kept switching on and off constantly.
After that I've tried another firmware, namely I9505XXUFNDG for T-mobile but the problem now is that mobile is almost always off with no possiblity to connect and WiFi is blocked completely (security notification "Your device's security has blocked an action").
Basebands registered properly after every flash.
Phone is not rooted and me not being a power user would just love it to work as it was intended to
Followed the guide, all firmwares downloaded from here
Appreciate any help.
Might be onto something. After reading through this post seems I need to apply WiFi fix but I cannot tell which one to use for my phone (I9505XXUFNDG) as it's not posted. Kernel version 3.4.0-481100.
I've tried I9505_WiFi_FIX_MDM.tar and I9505_WiFi_FIX_MDF.tar but they just messed up the phone completely.
Thx a lot.

Hi ,
you should flash the fix for the modem you have installed , try following:
Flash another modem from the list there
Now flash the modem wifi fix for that modem
If still in trouble re flash stock and start all over again.....

Thx, did just that and now it works properly.
Much obliged.
a problem started to show recently; when i select LTE/WCDMA/GSM for auto connect network mode when the mode switches due to signal availability it doesn't get reconnected. i.e. while under LTE it works fine but if i move and get out of reach it should automatically switch to slower network which it doesn't. this works fine if i select WCDMA/GSM then the switches are fine but LTE is not available under this.
one more thing i noticed since i'+ve flashed the phone is that the upper part of the phone gets very very hot (a lot more than before). since the flash i've also had to replace a microSD card which died within weeks (not necessarily connected but worth noting).
any suggestions welcome.
Android: 4.4.2
Baseband: I9505XXUFNB9
Kernel: 3.4.0-481100

Out of Service Network most of the time after flashing custom ROM

I hope I am posting in the right section.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505) and it was crashing on the stock ROM so I flashed the Imperium LL Rom v11.0. The problem I am having is my phone reporting no network signal or "Out of service". But not always. After a reboot I usually have network signal. After locking and unlocking the phone I never have. The signal usually comes within a few minutes. When my phone is reporting "Out of service" I cannot make calls but I can still receive calls. And after the received call has terminated I can still not make calls. After a few minutes the network signal icon comes and I can make calls. Until I lock my phone because it gets lost everytime.
Some info:
1. I was on a rooted Stock 4.2.2 before I flashed the Imperium LL Rom.
2. The IMEI seems to have changed. I never took note of it before flashing, so it might have always been different but the IMEI reported by the phone is different from the IMEI on the sticker underneath the phone battery. I tried the Xposed IMEI changer but the problem still happens so this may be unrelated.
3. While searching I found it could be an invalid Modem driver. In the settings the Baseband version is I9505XXUBMEA so I tried flashing the driver for that version using ODIN. No change.
4. I tried via Recovery to flash Slim80 Kernel Cleaning Script v1.9 and then the Imperium Kernel v3.3 but no change.
I did a factory wipe before flashing the firmware.
Any help or suggestions please?
Thanks!
I have actually solved this. What I had tried before was flashing the modem with the same Baseband I had previously ie: I9505XXUBMEA thinking that there were specific versions which needed specific drivers. Upon reading more I found out that newer versions of the modem should be installed and that XX was a carrier code and the last 2 letters are how recent the driver is. So I tried the latest modem (XXUHOE2) I could find similar to the Imperium Build which is XXUHOJ2 and it seems to be working. My phone retains the network signal when put to sleep.
The fact the IMEI changed is weird and I don't know if it makes a difference. Maybe it was always like this..but it is strange that it is different to the one on the sticker. The format is correct because only the last 4 digits differ.
Anyway I hope this info helps someone with similar problems.
How can I mark the title for this as [Solved]? I can't find any way.
