Not able to change baseband for SHV E330L - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have a newly refurbished Korean samsung galaxy s4 LTE active (LGU) SHV-E330L with baseband E330LKLUDPH1. It heats up heavily and have battery draining issue due to wifi reconnection and mobile signal searching in countries like India, pakistan and Bangladesh. Also, it does not have LTE band 3 support which is usually available in the international version i9505 or i9506 of the same device and is also supported by the chipset.
I updated the device with custom ROMs but it could not change the baseband, if I try official firmware, I get fail : auth error in odin along with secure check fail for: aboot.
I also tried flashing bootloader and modem from i9505 and i9506 only but could not change the baseband and get the same auth error.
I also tried NV writing to NV item 6828 but it gave success message only but did not update the values, as I checked by backing up again.
Currently I have twrp recovery installed along with 6.0.1 marshmallow and it shows model SM-G900M galaxy s5 but still all those problem exist.
My questions are :
1. Is it possible to change baseband? How ?
2. Is there any stable baseband for galaxy s4 without any issues?
3. Will it softbrick the device if I update the bootloader and modem now?
4. How do I backup/restore/flash modem or bootloader using TWRP ?

You cannot cross-flash the bootloader from another s4 to this phone using Odin. Also, cross-flashing the bootloader could hard-brick the phone.

Thanks for replying .
with Heimdall , is it possible ?
I can leave alone the boot loader , I only want to flash compatible modem.bin and non HLOS bin .
Do you know a way to fix this ?
I have tried many custom roms but none seem to help about network .

Really?
You can only flash firmware from the same model as your device.

I don't recommend cross-flashing modems either and an incompatible bootloader/modem could hard brick the phone.

Hi , I understand , it can brick the phone but how do I resolve the problem ? if not the boot loader but a compatible modem firmware such as international version of GT-i9506 could help ? Is there a compatible modem software other than the original firmware ?
As I stated my problems clearly in the original post, I have several problems with device software as i think they are software problems.
Is there any fix or solution for that other than what I tried ?

could this be antenna problem ? changing hardware will solve this ?

1. You can only flash a baseband that applies to your device. Attempting to flash other basebands will fail and could damage the device, as @audit13 mentioned. As @krasCGQ makes clear, using Heimdall instead of Odin won't change this fact.
2. There may be other basebands available for your device, but that requires downloading the ROMs from sammobile or samsung-updates and extracting modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin from them.
3. Updating the bootloader and the modem won't brick the device, so long as they are for your device. For example, you can flash an I9505 modem and baseband on any I9505, but cannot flash the same baseband and modem on an I9500.
4. You don't. You need Wanam Partition Backup and Restore to back up the modem partition. Backup up the bootloader you can do as well, but there's no point to it.
You asked how to resolve the battery drain and your other issues. Start downloading older ROMs and trying to flash their basebands until you find one that works well for you. Since you cannot flash basebands from other devices onto yours this is the only viable software solution other than "sucking up and dealing" with it. To answer your most recent question, changing the motherboard could in fact solve the issue, but like the basebands, the hardware is specific from one model to another. For example, you cannot place an I9505 motherboard in an I9500 device. You would need to purchase a SHV-E330L motherboard.

Thanks for the reply.
1. I9500 has different Chipset but i9506 has same as SHV-e330L . I understand the risk. My question is are you aware of compatible basebands for shv e330l other than original ?
2. I backed up using twrp recovery including bootloader, modem and efs, is it sufficient or do I still need Wanam Partition Backup ?
I will try older basebands for the same too.
One thing strange, originally , NV 6828 bit for original device should have been 15 for 1+3+5 LTE but are (08 10 00 ) band 4 + 13 LTE .

1. Chipset is irrelevant. If the baseband isn't for your model of S4 you will not be able to install it.
2. TWRP doesn't back up modem partitions at all, because the partitions in question cannot be seen by TWRP. Wanam is required.
I never was able to add bands to my I9505 and nearly bricked the device in trying it. I would stop trying to add bands.

32g sm-n9005 baseband unknown/imei null/sound and camera not working

After flashing the sm-n9005 to N9005DXUENE4 the phone is not function at all. Though I can still boot into the system it becomes very laggy, baseband unknown, imei null sound and camera not working. Did try to flash Sweetrom V7 still the same. Anyway if there's a way I can bring it back to life?

IMEI NULL/NULL is modem or hardware problem
My guess is that it is due to a modem/firmware mismatch. Start flashing a modem for same fw version.
did that already, one more thing the phone keyboard and the swipe to unlock is not responsive at all.repair.

When arrive the problem and which rom and modem do you have before?
You need to go back on this... you Don t have efs backup?????
Otherwise try to put NF2 modem with NF4 rom. Bootloader is not important.
But check if modem well installed because odin says PASS but still on old modem
Try to flash latest NG2 firmware after whipe cache and factory reset. It did the job for me.

I have been already try KHIZAR'S METHOD*to install different LTE Modems on my phone with different stock roms. No matter finally i gave my phone to local repair shop. Samsung Official repair center's do not care about my phone due to it is N9005 and it is not for my country selling phone.
And another question my first N9005 slept in water during almost whole night. When i wake up in the morning i found my phone in water since many hours. I give it repair shop to check also but seems to main board needs to be replaced. Connection sockets damaged badly like melted half of them. is it possible to only change the connection sockets instead of whole mainboard ? Any idea ? and Where can i get only the connection sockets ? from samy ? ))
And i am starting the googled to find N9005 mainboard sockets
You re the terminator of N9005.? ....... no idea about motherboard or connector sorry....
I am having the same issue,
I'm new to the site been cool so far learned a lot and done a lot with my Note 3 since being here.
I recently rooted and install a custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) that works great, I tried flashing back to stock but encountered a major problem. after flashing to stock my IMEI is unknown and also my base-band from reading it seem as if my EFS got corrupted tried a ton of different thing and still I cant get this to work on stock. Only way my IMEI and base-band comes back is whenever I reinstall the custom rom (N900_NF3_INU_Dr.Ketan Custom ROM K11) and restore the EFS that was backed up during the first installation of this rom
Thanks in advance all help is greatly appreciated. :good::good:

[Q] SM-N9007 (Aus/Optus) KitKat

Don't know if any body has noticed, but kit kat seems to have been sneakily released for us australia note 3 holders of the n9007 model.
I don't know if its available officially yet, as I can't check because I rooted the 4.3 firmware, however I am currently downloading the 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.
Now this leads to my actual question,
Seeing as we now have the 4.4.2 firmware and modem, would we be able to flash n9005 roms onto our n9007 note 3's and simply swap the modem?
I read somewhere that someone had success flashing, with everything working except the modem.
If any other n9007 would like to hit up the new firmware and share feedback that'd be great

I've done this on many N9005 custom roms without any issues (NO MODEM ISSUE to speak of). All you need to do is update to 4.4.2 for the N9007 so that you have the kitkat bootloader and modem then you can flash any of the N9005 custom roms as you please. I've flashed these roms in the past without any issue (ASSASSINROM V4, CRASH ROM V13, N9005XXUGNG1_DevBase_alexndr.zip AND CRASH ROM V15 CURRENT)
So you can use 9005 ROMs even if you have a 9007 as long as it's 4.4.2?
In short yes. The baseband of your 9007 must match the 9005 custom rom you want to use ie. to use 9005 custom rom on 4.4.2 you need to upgrade your 9007 to 4.4.2 first.
Sorry but would you be able to provide us with a short tutorial on how to do so?
As far as I can tell, there is no way to root N9007 4.4.2 at the moment.
I realise some roms can be flashed with odin, but I'm still kind of wary as to whether or not it will be compatible.
You mentioned having the same basebands, but on my N9007 the baseband version shows as "N9007DIUCND1"
Is the DIUCND1 part the part I need to look out for while searching for N9005 custom roms?
Thanks for the help

OK...from the information you've provided...you're on 4.4.2 for the N9007 if not update your firmware to this version. To root simply use TOWELROOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793071) then install recovery app...either CWM or TWRP - I've been using TWRP 2.7.2.0 without a single issue. Then chose and install an N9005 custom rom via TWRP or CWM. I've installed and used the following roms without any issue (Echoe ROM v15, Alexndr - N9005XXUGNG1, ASSASSIN_V4, CRASH_ROM_V13 and CRASH_ROM_V15)...the only thing you cannot do is install bootloader and modem belonging to N9005.
Fantastic. I have yet to install a custom rom, but I am ecstatic just knowing that my phone is finally rooted again.
Hated that I couldn't downgrade from kitkat back to jb, but only because I wasn't aware of any way to root my device until now, many thanks!
I shall post again once I try out a few roms and see how they go.
Thanks again, you've been most helpful!
Sorry, would you be able to link me to the correct TWRP for the N9007? or the one that is compatible with it?
try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anyone could provide me how to root my galaxy note 3 n9007 Kit Kat? I tried CF-Auto-Root but after i flashed with odin it just stuck in bootloop.
I also would like to try custom firmware, is it possible to install onto this phone?
I got one more question do i need to unlock bootloader?
How can I check my bootloader status?
Thanks for your answers.

I too have this issue and as explained clearly you cannot use the N9005's BL or CL on a N9007 device - it causes a bootloop or stuck on logo.
I cannot find the BL or CL for Australia (optus) anywhere, not even an older version.
Flash latest stock firmware for BL etc.

Galaxy S4 without network signal. Please help.

First, I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 (4G), the problem does not affect my device, but the device's my cousin who is a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 (3G).
He recently purchased the unit from another person, the unit worked well, but had a small defect in the charging connector ...
He asked me to sell one of my cases and battery why his battery was apparently bad, why was not possible give loads on the battery, I managed to solve this problem.
The problem came when he asked me to update the device to Android 4.4.2 KitKat by several improvements, I downloaded the latest firmware available at SamMobile site and after that did the flash using Odin.
Knox had in 0x1 (the unit had been modified) and I read on some forums that night, that when doing upgrade directly from 4.2.2 version, especially XXUBMGA the EFS partition changes shape, thus having little network problem and signal.
Link : http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/83400-modem-mg9-y-posteriores-modifican-la-efs/
My questions are, it is possible to resolve this situation? I read previously that the IMEI is restored from a backup made previously it is possible to recover the network signal, but made no backup of EFS ....
I also read a long time ago that it is impossible to downgrade to ROM's with lower versions if there Knox installed.
I did the update of Android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 using Odin.
If possible downgrade, any of you can share the ROM XXUBMGA 4.2.2 for S4 i9500? Or tell me some possible solution installing another ROM / modem?
I am currently trying different modems and using the OmegaROM in my cousin's S4.
Thx
Extract the modem.bin file from the ROM download and flash that through Odin to correct this. Or simply flash the ROM itself again if you don't want to go through the hassle of getting just the modem file out of the download. Either option will restore the network.
The IMEI in this case likely has nothing to do with the problem you're having, unless the IMEI reports itself as null or starts with 049. If you want a proper backup of the IMEI, you want to download AntaresOne's backup tool from the I9505 Development subforum and follow his instructions to make the backup.

No signal i9500 after downgrading to 4.4.2 [i dont know which modem should i flash]

Soory if it sounds dumbish, im from romania, carrier - orange. I flashed some stock firmware MBC-Germany or so, if it counts, that's the one i used to flash all the time since romania was not withing those firmwares. I know the device is old, i'm planning to buy a Letv 1s or redmi note 3 but i have to do something with this overheating thing, i can't sell it like that. I heard it wouldn't overheat on 4.4.2, if you have advice regarding this problem, please
Flashed several modems, got signal now but can't use mobila data -> "No signal found for mobile network". I tried modems starting with these letters: "XX,DK,DD". I'm now using DD one since i got best signal but no network signal at all, any solution for me ? IF IT COUNTS, i've been using cm13 android 6.0 before flashing stock 4.4.2 and i have an efs backup done @ TWRP recovery, tried restoring it, didn't solve anything.
EDIT : Still cannot be called -> "Not registered on network" - i'll try further modems hoping it will eventually solve my problem.
UPDATE: Tried them all @ Modem thread. I'm expecting help, can't solve this on my own, i'm a noob.

There is no firmware for Romania as the I9500 isn't available in Romania. Thus any I9500 firmware from sammobile.com should work. Flash the full firmware via Odin and not just the modem.

I'm going to ask an odd question here, but do you still have the original box? If you do, the full model number of the phone will be on it, e.g. I9505ZKAO2U. If you have that full model number, post it here.
In the meantime, try installing one of these.

Didn't buy it new, i don't have the box of it anyway. How would that help ? It's not a fake s4 for sure if you have any doubt.
The full model number on the box as described would have allowed me to pinpoint the original firmware that was supposed to be on the phone. The last three letters are the CSC of the phone, and thus the firmware that the phone should be using.
Now, the only way to find out that information is by parsing it via the IMEI, which has the country of origin within it. To the best of my knowledge, none of the sites that allow you to enter IMEI numbers will retrieve that information. IMEIData.net used to do it, but require a subscription now.

Imei is unknown, got efs backup from back when i was on 6.0 gearcm. But i can't read it in any way. Tried restoring it, the imei is still unknown.
Take it in for service, especially if the EFS backup doesn't restore the IMEI to the device using the EFS Backup tool.

I really doubt that's so much of a problem. I remember encountering a similar problem 1 year ago when i flashed 4.4.2 rom over 5.0. I can't remember what i've done but i know i had been struggling for 3 or 4 days. I remember, anyway, it was related to some applications from play store, one called busy box or so. Moreover, then i had no EFS BACKUP. That's why im so careful now with it. My guess is that if i flash back to 5.0 that problem will be gone, but the phone is overheating, unusable if you ask me. Hope someone will be able to help me
Found that on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT42ri37RBU.
Now my question is how do i find my imei within that backup cause the files are .md5/.info/.win/.win.md5.
UPDATE : Flashed that rom, same problem.
Bump. Flashed gearcm 6.0 and a XX modem and its working well now. Any help there, still? I have to flash 4.4 again soon and I need a solution.
Actually, the point is simple:
Anytime you get unknown baseband after downgrading, flash Lollipop modem back, done.

Also, im looking to root my phone other than the cf auto root method. Because after flashing the cf-autoroot for n900w8, my buttons stopped working.
Thank you.
There is no marshmallow bootloader or modem.
You can flash SuperSU from twrp.
What bootloader/modem can I use for a marshmallow rom?
Just use the latest LP bootloader and modem.

I thought it should be a marshmallow bl/cp for a marshmallow rom. Didnt know i can use a lollipop.
And for the supersu, i just need to flash twrp then flash supersu from chainfire website?
Thank you.
There is no MM bootloader and modem because Samsung never released a MM build for the Note 3.
Yes, just flash twrp and Chainfire's supersu.
@audit13 do you know how to get the modem and bootloader from a stock firmware (tar.md5) ?
Not sure if you can extract it from a stock rom but it may be easier to just flash the entire rom in Odin.

Okay, I'll do that. Also, do you know what custom kernel is compatible with stock rom N900W8VLU2DPG1 ?
AFAIK, there is no custom kernel that is compatible with the stock Samsung ROM because the Samsung Note 3 apps require a Samsung kernel.
Hi.
Hi, sorry to make it alive. I have a Canadian Samsung Note 3 with (bell mobility) carrier. And, I'm searching to root my phone for removing bloatware and pushing the power out. But and completely newb, and no idea where to start. I have try towelroot and Kings with no success.

There is a custom kernel for stock note3 lolipop firmware which is called lean kernel, idel kernel, ater97 kernel and shinto kernel.... Do ur research before saying thinks u don't knw about ok bro.
@jgun007, I said "AFAIK", I never said there wasn't a kernel for the Canadian note 3 sm-n900w8 which is the model referred to in the subject line of this thread and discussed in this thread.
I see that lean kernel is for the n900t (T-mobile note 3) which is not the same model as the Canadian note 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488233
I see idel kernel here but I don't see the Canadian note 3 model listed as being compatible: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/kernel-idlekernel-leankernel-fork-t3241582
I see arter kernel here for the n9005 which is not the same model # as the Canadian note 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/arter97-kernel-galaxy-note-3-t3028148
I see the thread for the shinto kernel was closed and the last post was in January 2015, about 2 years ago and I didn't see any mention of compatibility with the n900w8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/shinto-kernel-t2895089
Hi.
Anybody know why, I'm searching with my phone information... I found nothing.
Model number sm-n9000w8
Version 5.0
Band n900w8vlu2dpg1
Number version lrx21v.n900w8vlu2dpg1
What do you want to know about your phone? The model # is sm-n900w8. I noticed you had three zeros in your post.
Looks like your phone is running the latest stock ROM according to sammobile.com: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900W8/

Yes, is a stock device. Never rooted. And it's a mess for the 0 in over.
I have all my information but when I'm searching for rooting... I found nothing and no procedure for someone who have a cellular like mine. N900W8VLU2DPG1.
What's wrong with using TWRP recovery ??

Probably nothing, I don't know what is twrp.
You can root using cfautoroot and Odin.
