I've been having a problem on my S5 where the data symbol is stuck on 4G and doesn't show anything else. It might be a baseband/modem error since I'm using a Canadian model in Cyprus. Can I use the modem from the Cyprus G900F firmware and flash it on my G900W8? Also can someone explain how I could do that so that I don't screw it up, if it is possible?

RE UP!
Same pb...
To flash a modem you need a .bin file and odin.
Clear your delvik/cache,
put your phone in download mode,
load phone with the .bin file and flash it.
I also am having data issues with all custom ROM's. If it's not one thing it's another. Canadian phones always get left in the dust it seems.

Probably not. You neglected to tell us what your W8 baseband and firmware are, which is rather crucial information. Making it impossible to give you a definitive answer. In most cases Odin will refuse to allow the change.
That isn't really an issue most of the time. There should be a variety of W8 modems for you to choose from if you want to change your modem.

i have g900t i want to flash on it g900w8 rom(for hebrew language)

Hey have you figured this out yet... I'm in sort of same situation I have a Sm-g900t but it's running a G900M stock rom, so I need to know how to keep my bootloader & modem and just flash a stock unbranded rom. I know I can flash custom roms through recovery but I want a stock to fall back on

It's not clear what you hope to do. What you wrote is that you wanted to change you ROM to W8 while retaining your TMobile baseband. And your photo shows that you did just that.
But reading between the lines suggests that you were surprised to see that the baseband hadn't changed and are actually seeking the opposite of what you asked. You need to clarify your intent.
The result that you have is the expected situation. The baseband normally won't change, nor does it represent a problem. Your phone should work fine with the W8 ROM paired with the original baseband.
Aside from the fact that there is usually no need to change the baseband, how easy it is to do so depends on the carrier and how they sign their firmware. Odin won't change the baseband if the carrier decided to omit the requisite permission to do so. TMobile modems are invariably compatible with Canadian (W8) carriers, so pragmaticaly the easiest way to update a 900T modem, if you have a rationale for doing so, is to install a TMobile update. Then put the W8 ROM on top of that if you so wish.

hi
i just bought an galaxy s4 gt-i9500 from a freind (thats what i guess ) but surprised for what i found out
you can see screenshots attached below
my i9500 has :
Chipset : Qualcomm APQ8064T Snapdragon 600
CPU : Quad-core 1.9 GHz Krait 300
GPU :Adreno 320
and also 4G network support
and in bootlogo there's no i9500 apprear just samsung galaxy S4
so i am confused what is this S4 ?
answer is:
this is not i9500 octa-core but its SGH-i337 for AT&T with firmware of i9500
AP :i9500XXUEMJ9
CP :i9500XXUEMJ9
CSC:i9500XXUEMJ9
BUT with SGH-I337 bootloader as u see in screenshots
so big question is can i flash this phone with sgh-i337 factory rom or no and dont forget an important thing the Serial number label (sticker ) inside the device with i9500 Written in it
i pos here too

You have a Frankenstein phone. Since you got it from your friend, my normal advice of returning it isn't likely to be of use. So, installing an I337 ROM isn't an issue, but you need to keep in mind the following.
The bootloader on AT&T is locked, with no way to unlock it. You'll need to go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att for tutorials and guides on rooting and installing SafeStrap recovery.
Any SIM unlock present on the phone, unless done through the carrier or via an unlock service that provides actual codes, may reset itself when the I337 ROM is installed.
The IMEI could possibly be wiped, though this is unlikely. Back up the IMEI using Wanam's EFS Backup before doing anything at all.

But my baseband and bootloader version are i337 anf rest of all are i9505xxugne8 :/ and on back side of phone its i9505 printed
It's a Frankenstein. An AT&T I337 with the IMEI of an I9505. Someone changed the IMEI before selling it, likely because the original IMEI was blacklisted.
its basically a korean convert your phone might be i337 but the best way is to go to download mode and check it there. model number on download mode is always real.

I checked in dwld mode its sgh i337....can I install back stock firmware ...see this sitehttp://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB419415&cv=820
If it's an AT&T device then you can install an AT&T ROM on it. However, doing so nets you a locked bootloader for your trouble. Install a custom ROM if you can, and don't look back.

of course you can install official sgh i337 firmware. just find official firmware from sam mobile or samsung updates and download them to your phone via odin. it will fresh start your phone on atnt official firmware but i suggest you to do some research over it before attempting any thing. in your case i see that your phone came with pre rooted firmware to change build.prop to make it look like 9505. i am in pakistan and this is very common here i was fooled for 9500 but it was sph l720 sprint model. best of luck with your update

you mean that I should keep using custom roms and no matter whether baseband is of i337 ....If I want to download a 5.0.1 then I will download any rom and flash through odin using pda file just....it will not chnge my baseband..
Finally I got it....its i337...I checked imei on imei.info it says it is i337 and also checked for blacklist its all clean....and I opened back cover and see it and its written "MADE BY SAMAUNG" ...spelling of samsung is wrong ...it means sticker and software are of 9505 and hardware are i337 at & t usa carrier....I think its changed in korea...phone is converted....now planning to download stock firmware of i337 lollipop and install through odin....
if anyone have link to i337 lolipop plz share
If you install a stock ROM via Odin, the bootloader will be changed, but as long as it's not an AT&T or Verizon ROM you won't suffer any ill effects. If you install an AT&T ROM there's no going back. Unlike every other country on the planet, here in the US AT&T and Verizon encrypt the device's bootloader, because they don't want you rooting the device and bypassing their bloatware and their restrictions. So, since you happen to be in a position where you have an AT&T S4 that doesn't have a locked bootloader, you want to install a custom ROM.
If you have ignored my advice and installed a stock AT&T ROM, you'll need to head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att and use the information there to root. Honestly, now that you know your S4 is an AT&T model, you should head over there anyway.

..i installed stock 4.4.4 ATT software but i want to install back i9505 software becoz att is not running well in my country...it lags in sending msgs and making calls and also hotspot nd other probs....can u guide me to get back 9505 software
I tried warning you but you plowed ahead anyway. The stock ROM you put on the phone is basically untouchable, because of the locked bootloader, so you now have two options: use the phone as is, or use the information in the AT&T S4 forums to install SafeStrap recovery and from there flash a custom ROM.

Hmm yeah but i think it will work fine ...only problem is of signal network....can you guide me how to flash 9505 modem on i337 ?
No, because it won't work. I tried flashing an AT&T modem to my I9505 when trying to add LTE frequencies to my device. The phone rejected the modem, but it didn't harm my I9505 either.

But previously i am running baseband of 9505 on i337
It could be because I didn't use Odin when trying to flash in that instance. Under ordinary circumstances you shouldn't be able to flash I9505 firmware on an I337. Regardless, you can try to flash the I9505 modem using Odin, but the results at best will be unpredictable. It certainly won't change the LTE bands on the phone as those can apparently only be changed with tools we don't have.

i tried using odin it fails ...with some logs like receive response from bootloader fail.... :/ im getting maximum of 3/5 signals on att baseband in my country ...
Hello
I dont know if this is the correct place to post(please correct me if so )
I have a SHV-E300L with its imei and baseband null (got it for cheap just to look into this case)
previous owner told me it happened without him doing anything but by the phone itself
Phone is not rooted. So no efs backups.
I have read that you can Force write the imei code if you know it?
What about the baseband?
What if i convert it to international version ? (i9500/i9505)
Or
Is it posiible to swap a motherboard of a i9500(idk the model no but i need 4g)
and the usb also?
it will cure the imei and baseband right? (since the motherboard carries its own?)
Please help me
Im just a newbie to the s4 I have a S2 and ive rooted flashed reflashed and stuff
Thanks All
Boot into download and verify the model number. Then go to sammobile.com and flash the latest stock ROM using Odin.
You can not convert a phone from one model to another model.
