How to flash a radio - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been trying to find a way to flash the new radios that came with 6.0.
I flashed cyanogenmod when I was still on 5.x so I never updated with the official rom. I went from cm12 to cm13.
I there any way to extract the radio from the canadian OTA and flash it without going completely back to stock?
Thansk!

Where do I get latest radio without flashing OTA?

Hello
Anyone know where to get latest basebands without flashing ota on the d802 international? I have been googling without finding anything and i have seen that my gfs unrooted and stock phone has newer baseband then my cm11 phone, but thats probably because I never installed kitkat stock.

[Q] Firmware - ROM Question

So I have a GS5 on KitKat running NI2 Firmware and Build. I Flashed Ricks ROM and am loving it! Big ups to the Dev on that. However, the whole reason that I Rooted my phone was to try out custom ROMs and my question is if I wanted allianceROM on my phone, I'm currently on Ni2 instead of Ne9. Could I only change the firmware and not the entire build to Ne9 and then flash the AllianceROM? I know after all these years, I should know this by now however, I just waited for in this case an Ni2 rom build to be released then flash it. Is there a way to try any of the builds within kitkat?
I know that the phone needs an update to try Lolipop, but not willing to give up on my perfectly running kitkat Rom (just yet)
Any help is very much appriciated!

Odin the NE9 firmware, boot into safestrap recovery before your phone boots all the way up, then install the NE9 ROM ( which should already be downloaded onto your phone). Don't forget to wipe first.

A little help, please.

I'm coming from 4.4.1 I want to flash a Lollipop ROM, I haven't flashed for very nearly 2 years. I'm obviously rooted already.
Is coming from KitKat as simple as just flashing a Lollipop ROM? I'm an SM-9005, I've got Odin 3.10 and I want to flash Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.5.
I've seen that I need to backup my PIT and obviously backup my current ROM, do I need to update my baseband or radio etc?
No one?
No need to backup your baseband or radio. RR is an AOSP ROM as far as I know, so you won't be able to flash it with Odin I'm guessing, as it comes as a zip package? I don't have any interest or idea about it, but you can only flash via Odin if the ROM comes as tar image.
Also as you are coming from KK, you 'might' need to flash a stock Lollipop ROM first to update the bootloader from KK to LP, read RR topic, see if its mentioned or not. If its not then you probably don't need to, but as I said no idea.

Newbie requesting help to upgrade from 4.2.2 to Lollipop

Hello,
I have a rooted i337 with MDL baseband, running stock 4.2.2 firmware. I am currently out of the US and therefore cannot receive any OTA. I want to upgrade to Lollipop or Marshmallow based custom ROMs, esp those that can still use the IR feature of the S4.
Can anyone guide me on how I do this upgrade, without bricking my phone? Would truly appreciate your help. Thanks.
Have you tried running ota updates via wifi without a SIM card in the phone.
To run a custom rom, you would need to install a custom recovery to flash the rom. Some mm and LP ROMs may not work with a 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
If you want to use a custom ROM, DO NOT take any OTA updates. If you take an OTA and it is successful, then you will no longer be able to install a custom ROM.
Here is the Cyanogenmod thread to install CM to your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3008609
If you would like to update to official ATT/Samsung lollipop(there is also a way to have root)[remember, once you take an official update from MDL, then you will no longer be able to install a custom ROM and you may never be able to get Marshmallow]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2926642

Upgrading to MM, what do I need?

From day one on my new Op2 I flashed the official MM 3.0 Beta. After a week I decided to try the 2.2.1 Lollipop to see if anything were different... I had to use a kind of downgrade and recovery to downgrade and once that was done everything went fine.
Now I want to try a MM Rom (not the official beta). Can I just flash any MM rom, as long as I have a recovery that supports both Lollipop and Marshmallow (I saw one in the forum) or do I have to do anything else?

Flash right away, maybe u need the old / new modem

Just flash rom and gapps normally. Depends on rom which modem you need. You can check it from op.
First is your bootloader unlock and do you have TWRP?
