R970x gsm options - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I recently got a Cspire S4 trying to unlock at the moment. Its on 4.2.2 MG1. Anyone know how I can extract the modem or system and make odin flashable? I understand that I will probably need linux for this and am already using ElementaryOS. Thanks

[Q] SM-N9007 (Aus/Optus) KitKat

Don't know if any body has noticed, but kit kat seems to have been sneakily released for us australia note 3 holders of the n9007 model.
I don't know if its available officially yet, as I can't check because I rooted the 4.3 firmware, however I am currently downloading the 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.
Now this leads to my actual question,
Seeing as we now have the 4.4.2 firmware and modem, would we be able to flash n9005 roms onto our n9007 note 3's and simply swap the modem?
I read somewhere that someone had success flashing, with everything working except the modem.
If any other n9007 would like to hit up the new firmware and share feedback that'd be great

I've done this on many N9005 custom roms without any issues (NO MODEM ISSUE to speak of). All you need to do is update to 4.4.2 for the N9007 so that you have the kitkat bootloader and modem then you can flash any of the N9005 custom roms as you please. I've flashed these roms in the past without any issue (ASSASSINROM V4, CRASH ROM V13, N9005XXUGNG1_DevBase_alexndr.zip AND CRASH ROM V15 CURRENT)
So you can use 9005 ROMs even if you have a 9007 as long as it's 4.4.2?
In short yes. The baseband of your 9007 must match the 9005 custom rom you want to use ie. to use 9005 custom rom on 4.4.2 you need to upgrade your 9007 to 4.4.2 first.
Sorry but would you be able to provide us with a short tutorial on how to do so?
As far as I can tell, there is no way to root N9007 4.4.2 at the moment.
I realise some roms can be flashed with odin, but I'm still kind of wary as to whether or not it will be compatible.
You mentioned having the same basebands, but on my N9007 the baseband version shows as "N9007DIUCND1"
Is the DIUCND1 part the part I need to look out for while searching for N9005 custom roms?
Thanks for the help

OK...from the information you've provided...you're on 4.4.2 for the N9007 if not update your firmware to this version. To root simply use TOWELROOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793071) then install recovery app...either CWM or TWRP - I've been using TWRP 2.7.2.0 without a single issue. Then chose and install an N9005 custom rom via TWRP or CWM. I've installed and used the following roms without any issue (Echoe ROM v15, Alexndr - N9005XXUGNG1, ASSASSIN_V4, CRASH_ROM_V13 and CRASH_ROM_V15)...the only thing you cannot do is install bootloader and modem belonging to N9005.
Fantastic. I have yet to install a custom rom, but I am ecstatic just knowing that my phone is finally rooted again.
Hated that I couldn't downgrade from kitkat back to jb, but only because I wasn't aware of any way to root my device until now, many thanks!
I shall post again once I try out a few roms and see how they go.
Thanks again, you've been most helpful!
Sorry, would you be able to link me to the correct TWRP for the N9007? or the one that is compatible with it?
try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001

I too have this issue and as explained clearly you cannot use the N9005's BL or CL on a N9007 device - it causes a bootloop or stuck on logo.
I cannot find the BL or CL for Australia (optus) anywhere, not even an older version.
Flash latest stock firmware for BL etc.

[Q] Telcel I337M baseband update

Hey guys!
I've read everything I could but everything I have found is still a little vague for me since I need a more specific answer.
I have a I337M running CyanogenMod 11 M9 with "I337MUMUAMG1" baseband on Telcel (Mexico). Can I jump from "MG1" to "I337MUMUFNE2", which is the lastest for Telcel (May 16) without having major problems? I dont really want to mess up anything but CM M10 to M12 (and M13 will without a doubt) requieres me to update my baseband since is not connecting to mobile data.
I read that I need to load the latest stock ROM and then re-root, re-custom recovery and then re-flash CM 11 XX. Im also worried about the Knox thing and new bootloaders messing with the sound and WiFi.
Is there a guide I have totally missed to do this?
I found this thread were djdedonrg posted just the modem Im looking for (NE2), Can I just flash it with Odin and be good?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/modem-4-4-2-i337mumufne3-t2815999
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
You can try flashing a newer modem, thought i don't think there should be a problem as long as you flash stock firmwares. you can freely Odin things with i337M
Yeah you can Flash only the modem via ODIN, I actually have the I337MUMUFNE2 Modem on my SGH-I337m from Telcel Mexico with a custom ROM
You dont need to flash the entire Stock ROM.
Here´s the file of the TECEL NE2 Modem

Thanks, I updated shortly after posting the second message but the FNE2 is giving me lots of disconnections and slow speeds in the city I just moved. I'm going back to AMG1.
You can change modems however you want no without any troubles, right?
Thanks in advance!
Yes U Can try different modems and choose it the best for you...

Odin3.10 failing to flash BL and Modems

Hello. I am attempting to flash new BL and Modems using Odin 3.10.6 on a Windows 7 partition on a Macbook Pro mid-2012 OS 10.10. My phone is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4, Baseband number M919UVUAMDL. My current build number on my phone is Omega v7.0 - XXUBMF8. I'm trying to upgrade to Omega v42 - XXUHOF2.
My problem:
Odin recognizes my phone fine but fails the flash very quickly. The fail message Odin gives is "FAIL! (auth)" right after "NAND Write Start!!" and my phone displays the message "Secure Check Fail: aboot". This happens no matter what USB cable I use.
The files I'm trying to flash are:
BL_I9505XXUHOF2_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
GSM_Modem_I9505XXUHOF2_and_LTE_Modem_I9505XXUHOF2.tar
Any help?
You can't flash an I9505 bootloader or modem on a T-Mobile S4. You can only use a T-Mobile bootloader and modem. So search the T-Mobile S4 forums for the most current bootloader and modem, and flash them through Odin.
Thank you for the help. I am now quite confused and need more help, if it can be spared.
I understand now that I can only use SGH-M919 bootloaders and modems but I can use Omega ROMs, too. I tried my best to find current, and any, bootloaders and modems on the SGH-M919 forum without success. I'm not an idiot but I'm also not experienced with navigating this forum. Can anyone offer more specific direction to SGH-M919 bootloaders and modems?
Some other questions I now have:
- Do I need Lollipop BL/modem in order to flash a Lollipop-based custom ROM or can I use any generation BL/modem?
- Will all Lollipop-based custom ROMs require me to flash new BL/modems? Can I just find a ROM that doesn't require new ones?
If it seems like I'm confused or ignorant of more issues than I've addressed, it probably because I am. Any and all help and education is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
There is a link to the T-Mobile S4 forums in my previous post. Make a thread in their Q&A section and ask where the bootloaders and modems are. If I recall however, the T-Mobile S4 never went past 4.4.4, though I hope I'm wrong. Regardless, while these ROMs all recommend the latest Android 5.x bootloaders and modems, they should still work with whatever you do have available. Performance may however be affected.

How to sim unlock Galaxy Note 3 SCL22 Lollipop 5.0?

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SCL22 from au japan.
I have unlocked it before using service mode (*#0011#) when it was on Kitkat 4.4.2.
But after I updated it on Lollipop 5.0 I cannot unlock it using service mode because there is no menu anymore it is just end.
Is there any other code or way to access service mode.
Any other way to sim unlock my phone? THANKS!
Same problem here
Any solution pls

			
				
SCL22 on Lollipop
Same problem here, cant access the Service Menu and Can't use any sim in the Philippines.
Please somebody help us.
Probably found a solution in a Japanese forum. Though I haven't understand it fully (with google translate), but it can be something like this.
Do not upgrade the firmware from your phone (If you already did, then you can re-install it again with following procedure).
Instead download the official SCL22 Lollipop firmware from sammobile.com or somewhere else in your PC.
Extract the firmware and add "ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk" in /system/app/ directory. Probably we need to google a bit on how to rebuild a firmware. A starting point can be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138885
Then install the firmware using Odin.
After installation, follow the unlock instruction for Kitkat 4.3, which I think you know already. They are also available in the Japanese forum too.
http://www.neko.ne.jp/~freewing/android/au_scl22_galaxy_note3_sim_unlock/
Note: The ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk download link is given in the Japanese forum. Or I think it can be extracted from the Kitkat 4.3 firmware files too. Once I followed this post (http://allthec.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-note-3-scl22.html) to root my SCL22 Kitkat 4.4.2 which is specific to SCL22 only and very easy to follow, this should work for Lollipop 5.0 too, if you are interested to root your device. But rooting the device will not unlock the phone.
I haven't tried it in my phone yet. Can any of you try it and let us know how it goes. Hopefully it will work!
Awesome
Thanks tutul.net, I will try that out.
And the translation is terrible so I'll try with the little japanese I can read:
First Method:
 ・Using odin flash SCL22KDU2FNF7
 ・Unlock using the SCL22KDU2FNF7 method
 ・Dont upgrade past SCL22KDU2FNF7
Second Method:
・Using Odin only flash the SCL22KDU2FNF7 modem
 ・Extract the old version of the ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk and overwrite the new one (/system/app/ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk)
 ・Using the Service menu, *#0011#, unlock with the old method
Now that I actually wrote all that out, looks like you were spot on. Thanks again!
I have had a note.3 as a paper weight for about a year now, maybe your advice will finally let me use it.
Also it was kind of biatch to get that apk, so I reupped it somewhere else for convenience hope it helps someone: ServiceModeApp_RL.zip
I'm having trouble with this and it's getting me really frustrated... did you eventually get it to work?
can you just flash the modem? isn't the modem supposed to be .bin file?
if you were able to successfully rebuild the rom with the fix, it would help me greatly if you can upload it somewhere
any help is appreciated
Did anyone manage to do this?
Basically you need a Linux base PC to rebuild a tar.md5
