Ever since I got my new Galaxy S4 (Fido) the other day my reception has been less than expected. I get 1/2 bars in a room in my house where my previous phone (Motorola Atrix 4G) had full bars. I already exchanged the phone for another S4 and the new one has the same issue. The only constant is my SIM card which I will try and replace, but if that doesn't work are there any reliable radios which can be flashed on the S4? I know for the Motorola Atrix 4G there were some better radios compared to stock which gave me great reception. If this is the same for the S4 can somebody please post a link to the radios I can try? Thanks!
You should flash the modem appropriate for your region. There is a big modem thread in the General section with lots of resources available to you.
Thanks for the reply! Although I can't seem to find the Canada modems for the i9505. Canada isn't listed in the firmware checker link provided in that post. Can anyone recommend or let me know which modems are compatible with a Canadian i9505? The baseband of my phone right now is l337MVLUFNC1.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I haven't flashed anything on my phone yet, it's all still stock. I'm waiting to flash a new ROM and modem since when I do I can't bring back the phone anymore and as of right now I'm thinking about returning it since I'm having bad reception. If someone can tell me for certain that a specific Canadian modem will give me good reception then I'll be more likely to keep the phone.

Isn't that the whole point to flashing a new modem/baseband? To get better reception/Wi-Fi/battery life/download speed?

1. Your phone is OK if you go outside and you have full signal.
2. You need exchange ur phone if you go outside and you have low signal.
3. Don't ask me again if you can flash other modem. With 3 times is enough.
Hi after flashing a rom not on xda my phone's IMEI became erased. unfortunately the EFI backup that I had wouldn't fix either. I tried going back to stock using SmartSwitch emergency recovery. Still no fixes.
Please help my phone cannot use cellular service!
Any idea Im all ears. I tried various methods for older Galaxys around the xda, none worked.
I know my IMEI and S/N how can I fix it.
Please help!!!!

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.
I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.
keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.
I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.
O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

write stock rom
This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?
Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.
Hello XDA Family
I recently flashed G935U Firmware *4API3 over G935T *4APIA, last night to be precise and right off the bat I must say that INDEED IT IS AND FEELS FASTER THAN STOCK *4APIA. You can just UNINSTALL instead of DISABLING bloat apps.
But other than the debloated firmware, what can we get about this Unlocked version? What is so good about it? Why SM-G935U over SM-G935T Firmware?
Pros & cons? Would you go back to stock?
Running September patch.
I'm still on APG1. Do you think it's safe to flash the API3 U firmware over it without taking t-mobiles PIA OTA?
I believe you would get the whitepages and tethering functions back.

No question is dumb my friend.
I downloaded the SM-G935U TMO ....the one for T-Mobile as there is an UNLOCKED version for every US Carrier.
I heard AT&T and T-Mobile are so far the best firmwares of them all.
Try downlading the SM-G935U(ending with *4API3*)
1. Make sure you use the LATEST ODIN VERSION (3.12.3)
2. Latest SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS (v15.61)

Hey guys! Thanks in advance for any help or clarity you can provide.
I had to switch to T-Mobile from Verizon. My device isn't rooted, modified, or in any way different than factory. However because of the switch I've had some functionality that I've lost. Namely the ability to get software updates. This phone has been rooted before, and I'm very comfortable with the process of loading up different software. The question I can't find anything on is whether or not installing the T-Mobile firmware will brick/cripple the device. I know there are different chipsets so I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep my phone up to date without being on Verizon anymore.

You can flash T-Mobile's firmware or the U firmware without any problems. There are tutorials here in the forums that will walk you through the process.

I tried finding something about loading the T-Mobile firmware on a Verizon device but I haven't had any luck. Only guides on doing a regular firmware update on a T-Mobile device. Should I be worried about the Exynos/Snapdragon differences? I hate asking for something so simple, but could you please point me in the right direction? I'd LIKE to try and go that route, because the U firmware had poor battery life, a lot of heat generation, and requires a patch just to get wifi to work. Then again maybe I'm thinking of the eng boot we had for rooti. I do love my all day battery quite a bit.
Thanks in advance.

T-Mobile, Verizon, and the U phones all have snapdragon processors. No need to worry about that.

@Outbreak444 Thanks for the help. Last night I threw G935U-PI3 on the phone and literally everything worked out of the box. Even wifi calling and (seemingly) VoLTE. It's taken care of all my issues. I can't get over the fact that it's now an out of the box solution and it works flawlessly.

Just look on the forums on flashing either the U firmware or T-Mobile firmware using Odin. It's a fairly easy process if you read through the steps thoroughly. And you don't need to worry about unlocking anything.

I'm familiar with flashing the U firmware, as I did this on my Sprint s7, but my understanding was that just flashing the U firmware didn't open up the bands. But are you saying that flashing the U firmware alone was enough to get TMobile fully working?

My understanding it does. The hardware between the phone's should be the same so it's software that's affecting it. But the U firmware won't allow wifi calling and other carrier specific things unless you're rooted. So pick and choose.
Bought an S8 in this condition. The guy said it had no OS. I looked it over and all seemed fine. I was all like, "well it goes into download mode and Odin can see it, I'll just flash an OS on it, itll be fine!" But now, I've put all the correct files (from the stock firmware) in the correct spots in Odin (AP, CP, BL, CSC) yet it fails EVERY time.
I get FAIL! SHA256 is invalid.
I'm using Odin 3.12.3
I tried a "patched" version of Odin as well, but I get a different error with that one. It makes it to "write", and then fails that.
I've attached some pics of some info that is on the phone both in download mode and on the splash screen. If any of that info rings a bell to anyone and you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!!
Am I screwed or what? Thanks!
I'm following this guide as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3598172
Are you trying to flash the correct firmware? This is the US Model you you need a US carrier. Also should try Odin 3.12.10, here is the link. https://mega.nz/#!8RtAga4T!wVqZh4wv3lmCvuDM5Fnn0kRNWHG20D6WihrBWUiuHPE

Here is 950U firmware, I don't know what carrier MDL is. If say you'll have to download them all and flash them one by one and find the right carrier. It's strange but one of the fixed has blown as indicated by ODIN do some research on that fuse. It might be the cause of your issues

That's the only way you're gonna find out. Flashing G950F firmware won't help you unfortunately. I'm tipping it's the fuse though. Maybe sammy can repair it for you. It's gonna cost but. If not you have a fancy paperweight =/

Fuse means nothing. My fuse is blown also. It means that the internals will only work in your phone. Or at least that's what I heard. I would ask Sammy. But you have a U model device meaning that you can only flash SM-G950U and SM-G950W firmwares.

For your sake I hope it's as simple as running through the different carrier firmware and you can get a functional device back! It's a great device and doesn't deserve to be a paper weight. Plus you don't deserve it either. Good luck and let me know how you go
I hope your device is fixed. It happened with me an hour ago. I tried 9 times to flash stock ROM after TWRP installation attempt messed my device.
it used to fail each time. What I did was Pressed the DownloadMode combo when it failed and rebooted and got in recovery and flashed. it worked the 1st time like this.
Make sure SIM is out.

Check this post out - it is for G950U and G950U1 devices + US Carriers. There are different methods that are needed to be followed depending on what you are trying to do. Read it, ask question. By the way if your S8 is 950U, then don't flash firmware from an F model.
im getting errors odin fails for me im g955f on aqg5. what am i doing wrong?
