Hi - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to flash different baseband version?
I am currently on I9506XXUCNJ1 running android 4.4.2
I want to run Lollipop on my device and Telsra haven't updated it yet and I doubt there will be an update.

As long as it's an I9506 baseband, yes you can flash a different baseband version. Trying to use basebands from other models will not work.

[Q] Question regarding Lollipop

Hi,
I have a stock AT&T I337 with the below mentioned specifications:
rooted using Towelroot
Baseband - NJ4
Stock kernel
Bootloader - MDF v1.0 release 3
Safestrap v3.72
I want to know if it is possible to flash any android lollipop rom which is stable and can be used as a daily driver.
TIA
No. Lollipop ROM requires lollipop base and since such base is not yet available, you won't be able to flash one.
Lollipop can only be flashed to MDL phones

[Q] 4.4.2 bootloader which stock 4.4.2 firmwares can i downgrade to?

Sorry for the newbie question i am using samsung s4 from o2 uk and have their 4.4.2 version, i am unlocked now so can downgrade or upgrade to BTU unbranded 4.4.2 versions of which there appears to be 4 available in sammobile.
I understand that there is a new bootloader in 4.4.2 so am i able to upgrade /downgrade to any of the stock 4.4.2 firmwares without tripping knox or losing my imei?
I know to my annoyance that the new bootloader efs v2 in 4.1.2 xxemg4 for the samsung s3 prevented me to downgrade to any of the previous 4.1.2 stock roms due to this much to my annoyance as the battery life was superb on xxemc2 4.1.2 so i don't want to make the same mistake with 4.4.2, does anyonr know if there is another bootloader version in the latest 4.4.2 stock rom that may cause a similar issue?
Bear in mind i only want to be able to up down grade to any of the 4.4.2 that is available not go to 4.3 or up to 5.0 as far as you're aware are all versions of 4.4.2 BTU ok to flash in odin without issues?
no downgrade from kitkat

I dont think you follow what I mean I dont want to downgrade from 4.4.2 per se I just want to use the other stock versions of 4.4.2 kitkat that have been released. Am I unable to downgrade from a higher version of kitkat to a lower previous version of kitkat that was avaialble a month before?
Same BTU stock version ie ugn9 down to ufn8 or something

Yes as long as you are downloading the correct firmware for your phone based on model number you will be able to downgrade. Just use Odin and you should be set.
You can flash any 4.4.2. The different versions don't matter.
Are you 100% sure i can up or downgrade to any of the 4.4.2 versions?
I dont want to make a mistake like i did with my s3 whereby i updated to 4.1.2 xxemg4 the latest version of 4.1.2 available but had an efs v2 so was unable to downgrade to any of the 4.1.2 versions below it.
4.4.2 kikat has a new bootloader but they all have the same efs version right? Thanks for the help

Galaxy s4 I9505 Upadte (Baseband)

Hello
I do have a Galaxy S4 LTE I9505 on H3G, now my phone is on the CM 5.1.1 lollipop and I want to turn it back to the official rom, I find two ROM's one to the baseband I9505XXUHOD7 and the other to I9505XXUGNJ3 which is my current one.
Now i want install the official ROM with the baseband I9505XXUHOD7 because its on the 5.0.1 and the other original is on the 4.4.2. So my question is if I can install the ROM with the baseband I9505XXUHOD7.
And this is a link for the ROM : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48264/I9505XXUHOD7_I9505H3GHOD1_H3G/

Yes, but you will have to reflash the lollipop firmware one second time if the flashing method don't update the bootloader.

So im abit confused about baseband.
Can update my Baseband to latest from

Can i create a backup in philtouch recovery, will that also backup the baseband with it? so i can restore baseband and rom together?
what are the advantages of updating baseband?
cheers
