Flashing RR 5.8.0 - Modem Differences - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm flashing stock 5.0.1. After that CF Autoroot, TWRP etc. etc....
As I'd like to flash resurrection remix 5.8.0, the thread says this:
ROM Firmware Required: Lollipop supporting bootloader and modem / non-hlos
Now the stock rom says I'm on XXUHPK2 modem and bootloader, but It doesnt say if Its combined ora just non-hlos or gsm.
What are the modem differences? Shoueld I flash another modem or bootloader?
I just understood that non hlos is for lte... but dunno whats better for the RR rom.
I'm on GT-i9505
Thanx for help

As long as the phone is running the latest stock 5.01 ROM, the bootloader and modem should be fine to use with the custom ROM.

Stock ROM flashes everything you need.

[Q] Omega v17 LTE Modems

Hello,
I have a question due to the LTE Modems for the Omega v17 Rom.
At the moment I´m running Omega v15 - XXUEMJ9, the Bootloader is still the old XXUBMGA, no Knox viod...
Since Omega v16 in the discription stand´s:
"**If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar file with odin by selecting phone.
**If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUEMJ5.tar file with odin by selecting phone....
This step is necessary to be done correct because XXUEMJ5 LTE modem will break your sound on old Bootloader"
So my question is, now in v17, the Modems which released are XXUEMKF, when I want to Update to v17, could I flash the LTE Modem MKF or will it break my sound like the MJ5 Modem becouse I´m running the old Bootloader?
If this is so, I have to flash the GSM Modem XXUEMKF and for LTE I use still the MH1 Modem?
Thanks for any answers!!

[Q] Firmware (Modem)

Hi,
Currently my baseband version is N9005XXUDMJ4. Do I need to update (modem etc.) for Android 5.1? I want to use Temasek's unofficial build. If yes, where can I get an up-to-date version that I can flash with Odin?
BTW: This is an Austrian phone.
Update to a lollipop based baseband is the best way for zero issues in future. Yes you can flash by odin, but if your system and bootloader is kitkat. Why not flash a comlete Firmware? Thats the best way..... there are lots of links @ " general" forum .called how to..... blabla lollipop und so weiter.
Thanks, found a link for updating modem and bootloader, but decided to download the full firmware from sammobile. I'll flash a custom rom immediately thereafter, though.

flashing from lollipop to kitkat custom rom?

hi guys, i have flashed android 5.0 stock with odin to my n9005 and then got recovery mode on my phone TWRP and flashed a couple of android 5.0 roms.. now im wondering if im able to go to kitkat (x-note) rom without any problems... my phone bootloader modem n stufs etcs are in lollipop's now as i used odin to upgrade it last time.
Yes you can go back to kitkat just flash kitkat firmware with odin and that's all
Flashing a custom ROM should not touch your installed bootloader or modem.
Try flashing a custom ROM with your existing bootloader and modem. If it doesn't work properly, then consider changing the bootloader and modem.

A custom rom never contains a modem or bootloader. So no that does not apply.
It mean no any problems after flashing?
Some custom ROMs require an up-to-date modem and bootloader. If you flash a custom ROM, the imei may disappear or wifi/calls may not work if the ROM is too new for the phone's bootloader and modem.
Before installing a custom ROM on a phone, I make sure that the phone is working properly with the latest stock ROM.

He means it the other way around. He wants to use a kitkat rom on a lollipop bootloader and modem. That's shouldn't be a problem.
I see the OP asking 2 questions:
1) Can a KK ROM be flashed to a phone running an LP bootloader and modem. Generally, I would say yes but whether all functions work will depend on the KK ROM. Some custom KK ROMs I ran on my Nexus 5 required me to downgrade the bootloader and radio to KK versions.
2) Can a KK modem and bootloader be flashed over an existing LP modem and bootloader? I think it depends on the phone's installed bootloader.
Yes audit13 brother my quistion is no1. I have now albe95 astra v2 on UHOJ2 base modem and bl lollipop. And goes to goldfinger kk base.now confused what can I do?
Did not try on i9505 but it works on i9500. I think it will work but u should backup your EFS partition
I say try the KK ROM on the LP bootloader and modem. If it doesn't work, you'll either have to find another ROM or you'll have to try and flash a KK bootloader and modem over a LP bootloader and modem.
