So my modem is funked! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, so I deccided to update my Kitkat to the new Lollipop. Biggest msitake this week. Its been 4 days that I've been tryign to fix this with no luck.
So I lost my LTE connection and I cannot get it back. I flashed so many modems and bootloaders with no luck. Some will give me 3g but never LTE even though the modem says LTE on it. Random reboots. Can someone please help!?

It says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Mind you I tried different basebands and bootloader via Odin.

Can you please elaborate a bit? What happened? I flashed a custom ROM why did it do that?
And where do I find a stock Lollipop ROM?

1. This seems problem of the custom ROM. You can ask in the correct thread of the custom rom or simply flash stock lollipop (step 2).
2. HERE.

There is no Lollipop for mine. There is only 4.4.2? What do I do here?
And isn't there a way for correcting this without reflashing stock ROM?

Good modem for Philippines(Globe)

I'm running Golden eye rom. And my baseband is I9505DXUAMDM. The problem is, i'm having trouble with the network. When the phone gets idle, then i use it, it has no network and takes while to have it back in. Idk but when i bought this phone, it was only locked by Globe(sim) which i was using globe as well. So i believe it doesnt have anything to do with that carrier locked thingy. TIA.

I am using the MJ5 modem on most of the 4.3 and kitkat roms and I am not having any network drops.
Since the 4.3 update, old modems are getting network drops. So you need to update your baseband. Try MJ5.
Btw I'm locked to Globe as well.

Yep just download the MKE and MJ5 earlier on that thread.
So, just flash it then? No need to reinstall everything?

Help! No network after flashing gpe!

So, first of all -- I get it, I'm a noob. But everyone's gotta start somewhere, and so did you.
Moving on, I had a stock Galaxy S4 i9505 on 4.2.2, locked to Portugal's Vodafone (I now understand this is probably what caused my issues).
I wiped data, cache, and flashed the Google Play Edition ROM. When the phone booted, I had no network, even after inserting the PIN number and going through the setup process. So I went to the Network Carrier selector in the Settings (Settings More - Mobile Networks - Network Operators) and selected Vodafone from the menu.
Then I got network. For 2 minutes. Then no network again, until I repeated. So this was driving me nuts, and I Googled what to do, and found out I could use an app called "Network" to try and switch from WCDMA to CDMA. So I downloaded that app, changed my network (to something - I don't know what since I can't open the app, as it crashes every time), and I'm still with the same issue.
Flashed back stock image and restored nandroid backup - nothing helped. Any solutions?
TL;DR: GS4 Locked to Vodafone -- Flashed GPe ROM -- No Network -- Flashed Stock -- Still no network
EDIT: I actually didn't quite flash back to where I was before, so I can't get my Nandroid backup to work (bootloop); I was on 4.2.2 stock, ended up flashing 4.3 stock since I couldn't find a 4.2.2, so my backup doesn't work.
Bump! Please someone help out, it's not my phone, it's my dad's, and I really have to get it to work really fast, he needs it for work.

I'm in the same boat mate. Got my Note 3 a few weeks ago and was surprised to find a different mdoel N9007. Don't care about the knox status and really want to get rid of all the carrier bloatware. I can see the HK version of stock Samsung rom but not sure if it is suitable for our devices.

if it's the same model then it should work. You should check against your PDA version when you type *#1234#, if it is N9007ZH download the HK version, if it is N9007DI download the Australian version.

Firmware is available on Sammobile but yes they are all carrier bloated.
For those of you still wondering, as long as you are on the 4.4.2 bootloader/modem, you can flash any aosp Rom and have no issues with mobile data or lte. The model number on your phone will change in the "about phone" section, bu if you can live with that, then no issues at all. I've just tried the Lollipop alpha build, and that worked fine, along with a bunch of other 4.4.4 AOSP roms and all ran smoothly.

Some questions about the Firmware..

hello, i have some questions that stuck in my mind and i need an answer
first, i live in Algeria. and the coming I9505 are from different varies. i mean some are from Germany, and some from France (Orange)...Etc
so, here's my questions:
1. what worst can happen when i flash for example (I9505XXUHPK2) firmware, but the original phone firmware is (I9505XXUHOJ2)?
2. why Samsung made all these Basebands & Firmwares? and what's the difference between all these?​
They are for different carriers/countries.
If your phone is carrier locked, and you flash the firmware from a completely different carrier, you will have no signal.
