Flashing a New Modem / Baseband - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I just started testing a custom ROM (audax) on top of my G928G that was originally running with PDA G928GUBU2AOJ4 / CSC G928GZTO2AOJ4 with arter97´s kernel and Phillz Recovery.
All went well with the ROM flashing.
But then I downloaded the modem / baseband from the ROM´s thread (CP-MODEM G928F: Modem_XXU2AOKB) and tried flashing it with Odin (using the CP option).
I hit the start button and it appeared to be flashing... but returned a fail at the end.
The cellphone is fully operational.
What did I miss? Do I have to flash the modem AND the bootloader together for it work?
Thanks in advance!

Well... just tried flashing the bootloader and modem, and this is what I´ve got...
Any ideas?

You may need to get the equivalent for the G variant that you have. I've tried cross flashing modems before on my W8 variant, without success. It's possible that it may work with some modification, but I'm not sure what would be required (or if that is even right). If you just download the full ROM for the G variant from somewhere like sammobile then you can extract at least the modem and flash it..

[Q] Issues with Google ROM and Radio

Hello,
I'm having some trouble getting a custom ROM to function properly. I've tried two different Google based ROMs and I no signal whatsoever. I have a friend who has the same phone, same provider and country and can get these ROMs working fine. He suggested that it is due to my older modem version and should consider updating it. I was told I could simply revert back to the stock Samsung ROM and do a Software Update and it should grab the new modem firmware but when I tried to do this, it told me my phone had been modified and I could not receive updates. How can I update the modem version to the newest without having to restart from an unrooted factory default phone?
Any suggestions and help are appreciated
Thanks

Okay, well here's some progress. I found a .tar.md5 file of the latest 4.3 Jelly Bean for the SGH-I337M.
After downloading the md5 file, I opened it with an archiver and I see the 'modem.bin'.
Can I install this modem binary file via the 'phone' option in ODIN to update my modem version to MK6?
Thanks

[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...

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:

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.

Would not recommend it, since those firmwares appear to be for US, Amazon or G4 Play devices (amz is for Amazon), so you may end up damaging/bricking your device more than it already is.
Besides, the links I've given you in the other post should enable you to pull the modem files from those firmwares and flash them (though I'd recommend doing a full flash).

After flashing the modem, fsg and hw images in step 7, did you re-flash the latest stock ROM? From what I understand, you need to flash the stock ROM over the pushed images to try to re-link your modem/IMEI.
This seems to be one of the issues of downgrading, and perhaps why Motorola doesn't support you if you do downgrade...

What do you mean by 'how bro???' I don't understand what you're asking for in that question.
Hrm, you could have a look at some of the other topics with trying to get the baseband back - maybe you could try to find a India hw, modem and fsg image to try to flash. Here's a topic that's been trying to fix the issue for a while with limited success: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/moto-g4-pluss-model-changed-to-g4-lost-t3496912
You can also try these images I've pulled from my XT1642 (UK, EMEA baseband), see if they can let you get your India baseband back after a stock ROM flash: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vQHJB37RV4Iv83jeO5mymw-UNe9KtRNm No guarantees though - seems that the downgrade to Marshmallow corrupted firmware somewhere?
Other than that, I'm not sure of other methods besides getting your motherboard replaced.
Hurray........ Its worked

Baseband Collection/ Switching Guide

I really think there should be a thread on XDA with tested methods to switch baseband as a lot of people face trouble with GPS etc on custom ROMs. Ideally we should be having a collection of TWRP flashable zips instead of having to install stock firmware via tools like Miflash and then doing everything from the beginning.
This zip from Davideavinavil is TWRP flashable and it works perfectly for me. It doesn't improve things drastically from stock Marshmallow Indian ZUI baseband but would be great for if your GPS is not working or something.
To get the baseband from latest Indian ZUI Nougat Beta follow these instructions from zukfans by Magz Heaven. Tested on my own phone which previously had the above Davideavinavil zip flashed and is now on M8996FAAAANAZM-1.76387.1.92759.1. I wiped everything TWRP then flashed this in fastboot and then went back into recovery and flashed ROM + GApps. If you want to run this in Linux open the bat file as text and use the same fastboot commands with those files in your pwd.
1. Will bootloader be locked again after flashing baseband?
2. Do I have to flash ROM after flashing baseband?
3. Does bluetooth connectivity depend on baseband?
Thx

2. Do I have to flash ROM after flashing baseband?
3. Does bluetooth connectivity depend on baseband?
Thx

I also would like to know this... Also does it matter if my phone was from China rather than India for the baseband? Someone please help with these answers

To get the baseband from latest Indian ZUI Nougat Beta follow these instructions from zukfans by Magz Heaven. Tested on my own phone which previously had the above Davideavinavil zip flashed and is now on M8996FAAAANAZM-1.76387.1.92759.1. I wiped everything TWRP then flashed this in fastboot and then went back into recovery and flashed ROM + GApps. If you want to run this in Linux open the bat file as text and use the same fastboot commands with those files in your pwd.

1. Yes its possible that your bootloader gets locked after flashing. If you do it wrong and doesnt check it after first reboot you can brick your device.
2. No you dont.
3. Someone said when you only flash the NON-HELOS.bin file you can get problems with bluetooth. If its right I dont know.

Thanks for your response. Only reason i asked about bluetooth is because only ONE custom rom works for me bluetooth wise. I'm unable to connect to my cars headunit with any rom except resurrection rom. Would flashing a modem help this? my modem is 9-00026-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.63821.1

Flashing custom roms shouldnt change the baseband. Does connecting work on rr with this baseband? Do you have problems with other bluetooth devices except your car?

Sorry I probably didn't explain that the best. Flashing ROMs doesn't change my baseband but I'm wondering if changing my baseband will fix my Bluetooth problems. Yes RR works with my current baseband and my Bluetooth works with every device I've tried, on flashing to a different ROM none have worked sadly. I've tried to ask around if other people have issues but they all say their BT is working as it should haha

I really think there should be a thread on XDA with tested methods to switch baseband as a lot of people face trouble with GPS etc on custom ROMs. Ideally we should be having a collection of TWRP flashable zips instead of having to install stock firmware via tools like Miflash and then doing everything from the beginning.
This zip from Davideavinavil is TWRP flashable and it works perfectly for me. It doesn't improve things drastically from stock Marshmallow Indian ZUI baseband but would be great for if your GPS is not working or something.

I flashed this zip onto my z2 plus and the phone has stopped completely. Its not booting nor am i able to go to recovery.
It flashes ZUK message and then goes silent completely.
Have i bricked the phone? Can i recover it?
Thanks
Will this baseband work for the UK? Sorry if this a silly question
