T-Mobile Updating Baseband/Modem?

It's been a while since I last did this, and I'm afraid I'm quite confused...
I am running a custom ROM (Bliss Beta 6) but remembered that updating my ROM doesn't update my baseband/modem.
Are baseband and modem the same thing?
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10398
Using this site here I see that my current baseband (G900TUVU1CNK2) is super outdated. It tells me that G900T3UVU1FOG6 or G900TUVS1FOL1 are the latest, but I don't get why there are two. Which one should I install?
All that being said, can I install using TWRP and a zip, or do I need to ODIN it?
Any help would be appreciated, as I said I've done this before but can't find any updated tutorials that explain the questions I'm asking (I've tried searching google and XDA, if I missed something obvious I would appreciate a link!).
cheers

More research has helped me answer my own question! Sharing what I've found in case anyone else comes across this thread:
Baseband and Modem are effectively the same thing in this context.
G900T3UVU1FOG6 was released in August 2015 and has the fix for stage-fright.
G900TUVS1FOJ4 was released in November 2015
G900TUVS1FOL1 is pretty much brand new (released in December 2015) so there's not a lot on it. This is the one I'm going to try installing.
Followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400 to figure it out.

i've been wondering this myself, so did you update your baseband & is there any change in battery or signal quality? (or i guess stagefright detector?)
also wondering if downgrading is no problem or if it affects anything like that (which stock samsung or other device kernels/ROMs do, sometimes blocking root etc)

Hey, so I actually updated to G900TUVS1FOL1 using ODIN. It nuked everything and installed regular TouchWiz which I wasn't a fan of, but I have no problem installing my own ROM later.
If you're doing the T-Mobile one, then there is no issue with rooting, installing kernels, custom ROMs, etc. I don't really know about "downgrading" the baseband or modem, but I don't think you would need to in this case.
Note that if you have Verizon or At&T you probably want to be SUPER careful, because they lock down everything.

it's a g900t yes
i am going to look into upgrading it more directly rather than the complete samsung image... maybe... so you're confirming the official tmobile samsung 5.1.1 complete installation still lets you flash TWRP then cyanogen without a problem? i came from november 2014 samsung 4.4 to CM originally

yes, I installed G900TUVS1FOL1 with Odin, had root and TWRP installed just fine (couldn't get xposed to work because it was not a deoxdex rom of course). I just installed BlissPop ROM last night which is based on CM13. So yes, it didn't lock me down or anything.

How to MM K3 Note?

So here is the thing: bought myself second hand 4 month old K3 Note. This device is really awesome and i really, really love it!
Previous owner stated that he ordered it online (GearBest or some other shop, i don't recall exact name).
And here is where it gets tricky with me trying to upgrade it to MM:
- in system settings it says it's Lenovo K50a40
- sticker under battery says it's Lenovo K50-t5
- IMEI numbers in system info do not match those on sticker on the back of phone
- serial number is SN:00000000
- ROM version is K50a40_S205_151118_ROW (5.0 Android)
- TWRP version 2.8.7.0 is working
- phone is not rooted...
- after OTA downloads its patch, phone reboots into TWRP, but i get error message saying: This package is for "Lenovo K50a40" devices: this is a "Lenovo K50-T5".
Now, i have read here on XDA various and confusing forum posts regarding flashing/OTA upgrades/lost IMEI and stuff, and i am really not sure about the way how upgrade is done properly.
Since i can't imagine i am the single living person with this kind of problem, i am looking for kind soul to help me out. :good:
Many thanks in advance!

Hiya mate. Since you already have TWRP on the phone, better to just download one of the newer MM roms listed on the Index Thread and flash it from there. No need to bother with firmware coding technicalities. I just flashed cuoco92's 1619 MM rom last nite. Works better that the S424 MM I had on before. Only thing is, some chinese crap still lingers in the rom. Get it here : https://www.facebook.com/cuoco92/posts/1741176056126330
Also, regarding the hardware, both a40 and T5 are the same thing just branded differently for different markets.

Thanks for replying. I have an older version of TWRP, does this matter when flashing marshmallow?

Technically it shouldn't but to be on the safe side, best to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.0.2 first since that version works with pretty much every rom available be it zip or backup format.

Yeah, it's working. Thanks for advice. I will be posting here once i'm finished with testing.

Just flashed "lineage-14.1-20170227-UNOFFICIAL-trltetmo.zip" on my N910T, already installed root via TWRP, and restored my apps with TitaniumBU, and my phone keeps flashing error messages like: "com.android.phone has stopped" or "android.process.media keeps stoping", what can I do?
P.S. I come from a Note 7 6.0.1. ported rom, if that helps

Flash this in TWRP.

First, thanks tremendously guys for all this hard work you do for us so we can have the latest and greatest Android system.
Okay, so on to my issue. Last night I flashed cm-14.1-20161204-UNOFFICIAL-treltexx over my N910CXXS2DQB3_N910COLB2DPE3_THL sammobile stock, and as so many have posted, it looks quite nice, but the No SIM error is too big of an issue to use on my only device. This, of course, put me into many hours researching if there has been a fix to which I have found nothing definitive. As a decades-long user of XDA I came across this post showing trltetmo.zip (T-Mobile) Snapdragon, and the treltexx (Exynos) version by jef_00. Following the posted instructions to the letter, TWRP continues to return the error "this device is treltexx but the ROM is treltexx,tredl" and stops dead with error 1. As I live in Asia, we only get the Exynos Octa-core mobiles here, so every ROM update/change I've made represents the difference between the Americas and pretty much the rest of the world, so I know the correct Exynos ROM was used last night, and it pretty much ran for many hours giving only the No SIM issue. It did turn to molasses trying to get anything to do something, but I figured I'd work that part out in time.
So now I'm using ODIN to put sammobile's latest stock release N910CXXU2DQC2_N910COLB2DPE3_N910CXXU1DPE3_HOME.tar, then root it with TWRP as I've done for many years and will try jef_00's latest release lineage-14.1-20170507-UNOFFICIAL-trltexx in hopes it will recognize the Exynos version once again. If it does, I'll then use the Bootloader/Modem combo Bootloader+Modem_N910CXXS2DQA1_6.0.1 to see if it will recognize my SIM card and allow me to use my mobile phone again.
Have any of you noticed either your Snapdragon or Exynos recognizing the ROMs incorrectly? Additionally, did/does this Bootloader/Modem combo fix the SIM issue?
Thanks for anything you can tell me.
Regards,
Cole

Does anyone know of a sound mod that works well with this ROM? Every one that I flash either has no effect or stops people from being able to hear me on a phone call.

no way of getting magisk to work for snapchat access ?

Hi everybody !
I've got a N910F and flash the 20170605 version by ripee. Baseband : N910FXXS1DQD1
I'm coming from Samsung stock version.
I connect my phone to my car (Peugeot 208) via Bluetooth. My car doesn't display titles of song from Deezer or YouTube anymore.
It display just the name of the phone.
Does anyone have the same issue ? (streaming is working)

Flash gapps and the latest W8 bootloader and modem in my signature, for best signal stability. You can change trltetmo to trltecan in the build.prop if you want your apps to think your phone is in fact the W8 not the T, but it's hardly important.

What does creeper aroma extras do? Does it work with 910v? I'm trying to figure out how to get 4g working.

They are a custom aroma gapps package for the Note 4 because the Open GApps aroma package doesn't work. Are you using hsbadr's lineage on your N910V? The latest build is kinda old which is why you may be having problems with 4G.

Any chance of getting official build version?

Issues with battery life
Hi! First of all, thanks to all developers, this wouldn't be possible without you, I've been using this rom quite a while, and it's amazing, just a few questions, the battery optimization isn't as great as I wish it would be, is there any kernel to increase battery life? If there's any i would be more than happy to try it, i've been in love with this rom, it's simply brilliant, Thanks for your support and your hard work... Cheers

Hello,
I just flashed LOS 14.1, works great!
I'm trying to update my modem (as recommended by ripee), but my baseband is n910w8vlu1dpe2. I did find a file for n910w8vlu1dpi2, but no 'PE2.
It's a SM-N910W8 from Rogers in Canada.
What modem firmware should I use?
Thanks!

I couldn't find firmware for Dominican Republic but it looks like Ecuador shares the same firmware as you so try the below
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900M/EBE/download/G900MUBS1CQD5/166984/
Or this one from Columbia
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__S5__/58l3/COB/G900MUBS1CQD5/G900MCOB1CPI1/
Place in AP section of odin
Once flashed go into recovery mode and perform a data wipe/factory reset
Also update your twrp version if you want to flash later custom roms

thanks!!
i have a few more questions:
1-)wich version of TWRP do you recomend for lineage 15.1? i heard some people having problems with the latest version
2-) if one day i want to revert to stock how do i aproach this? since my backup is from lolipop , and i dont think that the new firmware will play nice with that (in case i plan to sell the device or something)
3-) do you now if the latest magisk version works well with lineage 15.1?

So you want to update your Baseband Modem to the latest version before updating your LineageOS Firmware to 15.1.
The following link has the latest one for your device that's provided by haggertk. haggertk is one of the Official Lineage Team members.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569966172
Download the file on your PC, place your device in Download Mode (aka Odin Mode), then connect your device to your PC via USB Cable, Open Odin and place the downloaded file in your AP (or PDA) spot in Odin (nothing further) and start the flashing process.
It's fairly quick to accomplish, you won't loose anything on your device and, afterwards, you should be good to go for Updating to the LineageOS 15.1.
Just an FYI... The following is the Official LineageOS 15.1 thread that's specific to the klte devices for support and guidance.

This is a tricky question. The issues experienced are not all for the same variant. For example, some of the issues are for G900F but, my G900V hasn't experienced any issues.
Just keep in mind that if you experience any issues, you can always Downgrade it without a problem.

Reverting to stock is not difficult because you just need the Stock Firmware and, possibly, the pit file (that's also available on the SamMobile forum and androidfilehost as well).

Which ROM to install now on YB1-X90F (android)

Hi. I've never really liked the Android version in my Lenovo but I am now facing an annoying issue with Play Store downloads getting stuck and delayed and going to have to reinstall.
At this point I am ready for a root and changing the ROM but I am rather lost in what android distribution are working and tested at the moment as after reading for a while there are some which are only for the Win version. I also see some references to X90L on threads about rooting and installing twrp but I am assumming these would work the same on my F version.
So the question is, what updated current ROMs are working fine and are worth (better than the official one) after root and TWRP on the Android version?
Also, once unlocked and changed bootloader, where can you get the official ones again?
Thanks for any help.

"Also, once unlocked and changed bootloader, where can you get the official ones again?"
You don't need it if you flash YB via Intel Flash Tool with oryginal rom.
