Is there a way to just flash the RADIO image from the US rom?
Xperifirm downloads these weird files for the rom, and I can't find any guides how to extract the radio image (.img) from them ....
I am pretty sure when you use Flashtool to flash an ftf you can exclude what you want for the flash.
So if you want the US firmware radio then use the US ftf and exclude everything except for the baseband before you flash. I'm not sure if this will work but its worth a try.

Has anyone seen a prerooted FTF File yet?
I need one and not a flashable *.zip after bricking DualRecovery and flashing a Stock FTF.
I don't think I have ever seen a prerooted FTF... just flash one of the old exploitable FTF files using flashtool and then use geifroot etc to install recovery, and then use recovery to flash something like:

Ok. Thx.
Hello Canada. I'm on Rogers and updated a few days ago to the new 6.01 Marshmallow ROM. I have root. Seems to be not much development work on our device, the G900W8, wanted to try some custom kernels and see if they would work but they all seem to be for the 900F. I'm interested in battery life improvements.
So I wanted to get a stock kernel I could flash in case something goes wrong and it won't boot, or if I just don't like the kernel. Some custom kernels require you to flash from stock rather than other custom kernels.
So how do we get things like kernel and radio out of our new G900W8 download? The download I have from Rogers is G900W8VLU1DPD3_G900W8OYA1DPD3_G900W8VLU1DPD3.
Use 7zip to open archive the stock rom. Then extract boot.img. IMG files can flash via TWRP.
Did some searches, seems like Flashify will do it. Gonna give it a try.

Thank you. I grabbed the file boot.img from the downloaded Rogers ROM file and copied to my PC. It has a file size in Windows Explorer of 12319. I also used Flashify to extract it, copied it to the PC, it has a size of 13,312. Wonder why the size difference?
Hello, today i downloaded the latest stable KK rom, and the China miui8 to do some tests in the new China rom, but couldnt flash because there was a error of "cant find flash_all, flash_except_storage, or even flash_except_data_storage. Bats. So i looked into the zip and there was no bats inside the folder.
I know i can simply try to flash via TWRP, but if i do that can i be able to reflash 4.4 rom via TWRP too if i want to come back? Last time i flashedLP bootloader , it wouldnt let me come back via recovery to KK bootloader. Only via miflash. Please give me some clarification if any of you already tried it! :laugh:
Maybe you are using the wrong rom update package. The recovery rom is different from fastboot rom. If you are trying to flash this "miui_HM2XWC_6.6.23_a0619b1eb0_4.4" package then this is for recovery procedure only. You should download the fastboot (rom) version.

I downloaded both ones, LP rom for recovery and about 3 KK rom for fastboot(miflash). But the fastboot ones are missing the bat files, so i cant flash.
If you have any full download link please share xD

We need to know your model #. (Ex. 2014817 in my case) because flashing wrong model # of rom will give you problems with (service provider) radio signals.
I'm only downloading from official MIUI site.
Can somebody tell me what's the latest baseband and how to flash it pls?
I flash roms all the time but some of the TW based roms don't give me any mobile network and they usual require a certain baseband. My current one is
I337MVLSGQB1
If the baseband isn't in the https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att section as a flashable zip using TWRP, you'll have to download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash the baseband extracted from the ROM zip using Odin. That will guarantee the latest baseband gets put on your device.
Thanks for your reply
But won't that just flash the entire firmware causing me to have to unlock and flash recovery and root all over again?
If your phone is unlocked from its carrier, it stays unlocked even if you change ROMs. Also, I misstated what you had to do to get to the appropriate files. After downloading the large file from sammobile, extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. You should end up with a .tar.md5 file. Rename that file to .tar, and extract the files within. The two you want are modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin. Those two are then flashed using Odin.
Of course, you could do the adventurous thing and download one of the existing flashable modem zips, then replace the existing modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin in the flashable zip with the versions from the stock ROM package.
Forum for the sgh-i337m is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att
Oh I downloaded the Bell one and saw the modem.bin but didn't know which other one was needed so thanks
Rogers, Telus, and Bell use the same stock ROM with a bit of customization on the sgh-i337m; therefore, you can cross-flash the modem, bootloader, and system as they are the same.
Oh cool. You've been a great help, thanks for the info
So i updated to QB1 but not getting any cell service when i flash certain i9505 roms like Super Touchwiz v6, Machinex or something like that, Imperium v18.1. Some require QG1.
Would QG1 or any other baseband/bootloader/modem be able to work on my Rogers i337M?
I know this phone usually can flash any rom that is for the i9505 so just wondering if it's able to go that far as to use those as well
I would not cross-flash bootloaders or modems as invalid modem/bootloader combinations may hard brick the phone.
You may need to flash a different kernel when using custom ROMs desgined for the i9505.
Okay
Hi,
Having a hard time finding the latest (assume 21s?) firmware files i can flash. I know theres a full stock flashable zip but afaik I can't flash the bits I need from that. Anyone got the relevant files?

There is not big rom on X727 after firmware 5.8.019s, just OTA update. If you are on Locked bootloader / Stock Recovery you can download the update 21s and flash it via Update App.... Or rename de ota file to "update.zip" and flash it on Stock Recovery (Power + VOLUME +).
If you want a 21S or 23s complete Rom, you must to unlock bootloader and flash Custom recovery, then you can flash a 21s like VillarLeg o Mauro v2.2 23s... Good luck!
