Almost there. Help with modem hurdle please.

Hi there.
Thanks for all the work people do here. I've read a lot and learned a lot and for someone who's not very technical I've actually managed to root my i9000, install ICS and even flash semaphore.
Unfortunately, I've stumbled at the final hurdle. I downloaded a .tar of modems for Telus in Canada, used Odin to flash and... it failed.
I've even downloaded Perka's files but to be honest I'm at a loss what to do with with it.
Will anyone direct me to the right modem kernel for the job or perhaps let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you in advance.
Daniel

Didnt the ICS ROM u flashed came with its own modem?

Signal problems

Hi
I've had the i9505 for more than a year now, within the week of buying it I installed wanamlite rom with no problems, maybe a little weak on the signal, but nothing major, but a couple of days ago y wanted to try the latest one from wanamlite, but after installing it the signal was horrible, no signal for the most part, I read it could be the modem or something, so I changed the rom to goldeneye, now I have signal but no internet (I have 3g), does someone know what could be the problem and how to solve it?
I have a GT-I9505 4.4.2
baseband I9505VJUAMDE
kernl imperium 1.8
And I live in santiago Chile
Greetings and thanks

Hi mate
the modem you have is kind of old try a different one to see if your signal improves ( no need to change the rom) , check this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
To fix your wifi look in the thread for the wifi fix
Odin flashable NON-HLOS.bin (called WiFi FIX) for Samsung Galaxy S4 - GT-I9505
Use it with care!!!
Open in Odin as PHONE!!
WiFi FIX Collection: XXUAMDE - XXUFNC9 - Download: <<<Dev-Host >>>

Thanks for the answer.
But which of all those modems should I install?

well all that depends in what bootloader you have , if you were 4.4.2 before you installed wanamlite you could flash any of the newer ones or
update all modem / bootloader as your knox has been tripped already

[Q] Problems with ROM install

Hello I would like to ask you... I have SM-N9005 (baseband) - N9005XXUBMH9 and I cant find any ROM for it, can you tell me whats the problem? Do I have any kind of testing model or what? Thank you for your answers... I really would like to install Lollipop on it, but I am afraid, because of my baseband... Thanks.

Baseband is the Modem its not the firmware .
Development is full of N9005 custom roms as is sammobile with stock roms .

Ahh sorry, so do you think that I can install any firmware on that XXUBMH9?, because i didnt find any on sammobile. I have found that XXUBMH9 was something like pre-release version or something like that...

Download and run Phone Info from play store .

And what do you need from this app ?

List everything in these tabs: General, CSC Code, Firmware
(actually, don't need all, but simpler to just tell you that than each specific thing). Easier still, take a snapshot of your screen and post them on here.
General will tell us your exact phone model, and CSC will let us know which country specific firmware you need. Firmware will let us know which version you have, so you don't downgrade bootloader and mess things up.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed

A word of caution. It may not be so but your confusion about baseband says you don't know much about ROM's, flashing and software components. I'd suggest have a read of the stickies (at top of each section such as Android Development) and learn what gives. You need to know the difference between Recovery and Download modes among other things.
Chances are you will want to root you phone so you can play more, but if all you want is LP, you can DL the Stock firmware for your phone (which is why the guys want the details from Phone INFO) and then flash it using Odin - a program you run on your PC that runs the firmware onto your phone.

N9005XXUBMH9
Feedback on that is that it was Jelly Bean Test firmware .In which case it may not be a genuine Note 3 but a sample .
SM-N9005: Android 4.3 Jellybean
(Current test firmware: N9005XXEBMH9/N9005OXABMH9/N9005XXUBMH9)

SM-N910F Baseband/Modem firmware for Android 5.1

Hi all, just updated the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to CyanogenMod 5.1.1 ROM. Phone doesn't recognize SIM card (I live in UK) anymore, baseband is showing as "unknown" under the About Phone section. Please can someone let me know where I can download the Baseband/Modem firmware for SM-N910F?
Many thanks!

You could attempt to download the full stock firmware by either using 'Samfirm' or the website 'Sammobile'
Unbranded Note 4 CSC is BTU but it is currently still on Android 5.0.1 but the modem and bootloader will still work fine with Cyanogenmod ROMs.

Right, I did download the official Samsung firmware N910FXXU1BOC5 from a website, but when flashing with Odin 3.09 I was getting a error. So I ended up using the customized ROM which didn't seem to have the baseband/model inside. How could I extract the baseband from the official firmware in MD5 format?

Bootloader
Modem
Put your phone in download mode manually (Pull the battery out and put it back in after 10 seconds and then hold volume down + Home button and power on the device) Then connect it to your PC and run Odin as Admin and flash the bootloader and modem.
Make sure you uninstall Kies if you have it installed.

Hi mate,
I have a quick question with which I hope you can help (if you have the time of course ). There is a newer firmware version for UK, which is COK3 (and O2, which is what I have), and I'd like to update to this one, but the only way I know would be to update the phone entirely and then root it again and install whatever mod rom I'm using from there. However, this would be a painful lot of work. Do you know (or mind sharing) how to extract the baseband from an official md5 release so as to update this only or as well as the bootloader? Is there any way to put the entire firmware md5 file on Odin and tell the software to update just one thing?
I saw that you did just that above and I'm having some trouble with the phone connection being lost quite often, so it would be of great help.
Many thanks in advance for your help mate!
Cheers

Thanks for the quick response mate! You are the man! I still have a couple of questions though. Firstly, what's the difference between the cp and bl files in the link in your signature? I take it that bl stands for bootloader, but not sure of what cp stands for then. In any case, the most important bit I need/want is the baseband, and since I'm in the UK and my network carrier is O2, I believe the XXU1COK3 (as per Sammobile) would be my best bet, is that right? Will it make much of a difference with the XXU1COJ3 that I have installed right now? In any case, is the bl-cok3.tar file in your link the same XXI1COK3 baseband?
Secondly, that other post that you included is for a galaxy s3 and within that topic they link to a galaxy s4 topic, will those files and guidelines also work for our note 4?
Finally, I have TWRP recovery and within advanced backup I can individually backup the boot (which I imagine is the bootloader) and the modem (which I suppose is the baseband as such). Do you know if I could I install a new firmware through Odin and, backup the modem and boot, and then restore everything but those two things from an different rom backup? Have you ever tried?
Thank you for your time bro! I know that these might be a little bit of a newbie's questions but for more thar I search, I can't find anything close enough to answer what I'm asking.

In the bootloader and modem folders I have included the latest Odin, if you use that the 'CP' and 'BL' will make sense.
CP= Modem
BL=Bootloader
The steps should still work for the Note4.
I don't back-up and restore bootloaders or modems using TWRP.

Aah OK, that makes sense. But then the modem I am talking about is not in that list, is it? However, the bootloader is I think. Is there any chance you could extract the xxu1cok3 modem for the UK and O2 to add it to your list? ?? Pretty sure other people would appreciate it too, I know I would :good:

The modem isn't COK3, only the bootloader was.
The modem was COJ3.

Yep, that's what I thought. And the coj3 is the modem I have now (not working so well ). As I said, Any chance you could extract the cok3 modem from the full firmware to add it to your list?

I don't see a point in doing that, it won't make a difference. The firmware does not have a 'COK3' modem. So I can't extract it if it doesn't exist. The O2U firmware had a bootloader of COK3, CSC of COJ1 and modem of COJ3.
If the modem isn't working well then you should flash a stock firmware for your region and apply the appropriate CSC.

Oooooouuuch! Sorry mate, my bad, I must ve read it wrong and only seen what i wanted to see. I was convinced I saw that that firmware release came with modem too.

Flashing (stock) ROM with a different carrier on Note 4 N910F

Hey guys,
So it's been a couple years since i've been on this forum, and i had a question.
Like most of you, i've been waiting to update to android marshmallow (and i want the official ROM), but the one for my carrier isn't out yet (T-Mobile Netherlands). But on Sammobile i saw some other stock roms for the N910F who already had the update. Is it possible to just flash one of them via Odin? They all have the same PDA & CSC, so it would look like it's not a problem.
Thanks in advance, Sam
PS: English isn't my native language, so i'm sorry if some things were unclear, just send me a message when some things need a explanation

Yep, as long as you have the same model (SM-910F) you can flash any one of them.
Edit: You may need a PIT file if it doesn't flash correctly, but i would only worry about that if you run into problems.

Hello, I think you talk about the Cyprus Version CYV
(The only one without carrier)
You can find the good pit here.
For this one it's need the VFG

I didn't have make this for now but many users reported it's working fine.

Thanks for your response! But i'm a bit confused now, is the only stock rom i can flash safely the Cyprus version? And why does it matter?
Looking forward to your response.

If anyone could make a quick step by step tutorial on how to flash with the pit file that would be nice thanks
