Unable to update baseband/modem. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Baseband version is currently OA3.
No matter what I do, it's stuck on OA3. I've tried flashing the standalone OD2 modem and I've also tried ODIN'ing the full stock firmware. The baseband does not change. I even found a guide that says ODIN the stock firmware, root and run Triangle Away, then ODIN the stock firmware again. No dice.
Am I stuck on OA3 baseband forever or is there something I"m missing?

Try this, power phone completely down (pull battery out if you want). Boot into download mode and flash modem again.

Deactive reactivation lock if active

Check settings/security/Reactivation Lock, turn it off. Triangle Away hasn't worked since Jelly Bean. Also turn off Auto Reboot and F Time Reset in Odin.

[Q] Water Damage - Won't Boot

Hi all! Walked into the lake with my phone in the rear pocket - doh! Here is what I did so far ...
1. Turned off
2. Removed battery
3. Disassembled phone
4. Dried it out
5. Cleaned all the components with isopropyl
6. Put in a new battery
Turns on fine
Goes into d/l mode
I can flash firmware to it via Odin
Will NOT boot
Will NOTgo into recovery
I have tried various stock firmwares from Samobile - they all do the same thing - see pictures below.

ANY firmware I try does this after Odin is "Successful" Blue writing says " Recovery Booting ... but it just sits there.
Any ideas? It is a stock Rogers phone but I don't mind using any Firmware ion any network if I can get it up and running - I'll just unlock it later.
Thanks!
Also, can I try to re-partition it using a .pit file? I've only ever used Odin for flashing firmware. Where can I get .pit files, can't seem to find them anywhere.

Trouble installing MK2 Roms

I have a Sprint Galaxy S4, and previously I had the Echoe Galaxy S5 port Rom on my phone. It worked great until I got a new number that needed to be programmed to my phone. Since this Rom isn't optimized for Sprint, it is missing the update data profile setting, and the dialer codes for sprint such as ##update# and ##72786# I would normally use to reprogram the phone doesn't work. So I decided to install a different Rom and I installed the Triforce S4 rom with MK2 modem. But with that modem after the Galaxy S4 splash screen the screen goes black. So I had to go back to the echoe rom that doesn't work.
How do I install a MK2 Rom without my phone freaking out?
Odin the NG2 tar, flash the ROM. I don't recommend trying to downgrade firmware.

Is NG2 the latest modem? I've been in a terrible string of unsuccessful fixes. I've soft bricked it because one of the modem flashes didn't go through, so it shows the missing firmware error when I boot it up. Download mode works, but recovery is dead at the moment...
Yes, it's in the Android Development section, flash in recovery mode through Odin.

Cool. I found a stock NG2 tar. I flashed the NG2 modem and I'm in the process of getting the rom installed via odin. It has made it a lot further than my other attempts, so I think it's good. I guess I was just trying with the wrong modem before.
I'll just have to reroot, but that shouldn't be too bad.

Did anything get figured out with this? I'm bricked too and can't do anything about it because the 5.1.1 firmware isn't out and I can't figure anything else out to fix it.
I was able to acquire the following files...

Flashing these finally brought this hopeless nightmare to an end.
I had the Kingsroot + SuperSUME = FAIL brick condition and this saved the device (it wasn't even my device, I was fixing it for a friend). Let me know if anyone is interested.

Samsung Note-3 N9000q stuck at initializing while flashing with odin

My n9000q started to stuck at black screen after samsung logo when booted. I tried to flash twrp recovery from odin to recover my files via backup. But after i tried to flash with odin it stuck at initializing. I tried different versions of odin but non of them work. Now i can't enter stock recovery either. How can i get past that initializing problem ?
Please tell what you did and what firmware etc .
as i say i tried to flash twrp3.2.1-0-ha3g with odin 3.09 with auto reboot and f.reset time checked re-partition unchecked. I don't know about firmware model and i don't how to check now while device is softbricked.
Try an older 2.8 TWRP.
The model number will be shown on the screen with the phone in download mode.
Post a screen shot or Odin log. These items are very helpful when helping other XDA members.
Model number is sm-n9000q never updated firmware before. As suggested i tried older twrp (2.7.1.0 and 2.8.5.0) it didn't work either.

What TWRP was on the phone before problem.
before problem it had stock recovery no twrp. The phone is full stock before.
Sorry I read OP recover files through backup and assumed backup =TWRP.
I tried but didn't succeed :/
All I can suggest is try different USB cables and USB ports.
Did you have a look through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...elopment/recovery-official-twrp-ha3g-t3406899 ?
I look through that post and tried other ports and cables but none of them worked.

Would you know what would cause the recovery/boot program to update system - show Erasing after flashing ? Thx in advance!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 G930AUCUBCTB1 purchased in Colombia, I need help! I've upgrade it to 8.0 and the phone has signal, detects the sim but Emergency calls only. I want to downgrade to 6.0 but I cannot find the proper firmware that works. Any help?
