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Using this site here I see that my current baseband (G900TUVU1CNK2) is super outdated.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.

Galaxy S5 SCL23 (SM-G900J)

Hello.
I just recently got Galaxy S5 which appears to be only sold in Japan. There's some custom firmware installed on it which prevents Android to be updated. Phone doesn't have SIM locked, so any SIM card can be used.
Because the forum doesn't allow me to post link to a screenshot which shows firmware info I'll just write it down.
Android version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:

I'd like to completely wipe this firmware from the device, replace it with the latest Android version (6.0?) and root it. At first I'd like to know if it's even possible to do any kind of firmware changes on this model and what exactly do I need to perform the update/root.
Thanks.

Doesn't look like there is a 6.0 stock ROM for it, but you can upgrade to 5.0 here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=SCL23
Flash with ODIN (Instructions all over the forum many times)

Okay, instructions on updato seems quite easy to follow so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there any recommended tool for root? I've found a lot of them and I really don't want to mess something up.
PS: How come there's no stock ROM for 6.0 even tho it's been mentioned in some articles that SCL23 model is also supported by Marshmallow update?

Anyone?

Okay, update to 5.0 passed without any issues. There are some default japanese applications on the phone which I cannot uninstall, is it possible to get rid of those somehow?

I have the same device Do you update succeeded or not

I installed Android 6.0.1 and the network was missing help someone Galaxy scl23 or give the firmware 4.4.2 or help to find the GSM network

Go to this link & download 4.4.2 then follow this tutorial.
Make sure to use key input from the options & use capital letters where needed. All being well you will have everything working again.
Make sure not to use any download manager for the download link. File gets about 100kbps so it'll take a few hours but you will get it.
I did the above then rooted the phone & flashed correct TWRP version to it then flashed 5.0 Lollipop SpaceX rom here. Everything working good & no loss of service on reset or reboot.
Hope it helps

Custom ROM on T-Mobile branded S5

Hello people,
i bought a Galaxy S5 with the model number G900T3 and want to install AOKP on it. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-aokp-mm-t3293839)
This is the first time i want to flash my smartphone and i couldnt find any idiot-proof answers to this. :/
Now my concerns:
I'am in Germany. According to SamMobile is the G900T3 a model for the USA. Will this cause any problems? Will i have problems with a Sim-Card of another provider then T-Mobile?
Can i use the rom for the "normal" klte model?
Will the Custom ROM remove the T-Mobile branding?
Thanks for your answers.

Read thru that thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help/difference-sm-g900t3-sm-g900t-rom-t3329337 to get more info on the T and T3 model.
The post #8 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66025221&postcount=8 describes the steps to install a recovery and a ROM afterwards.
You should be fine with a klte version because SM-G900T is in the supported devices list here https://wiki.lineageos.org/klte_info.html
For the recovery you can probably also use the current TWRP 3.1.0 . It worked fine for me on a SM-G900F. You can find it on their Homepage. There are many guides around how to flash it with Odin.
At the moment I would recommend you to use lineageos over AOKP because latest nightlies of AOKP get stuck while booting.
If you want to use AOKP anyway use the zip from 2016-03-08. It is the last known working.
About which carrier you can use with a custom ROM I just don't know.
All at your own risk & good luck.

Thanks for your answer.
I think you meant the 2017-03-08-version, right? I would have gone with the latest Marshmallow-version because i thought it would be the most stable.

You're right 2017, not 2016.
I'm not so sure about how actively the MM version is maintained. The first post of the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-aokp-mm-t3293839 states the newest release to be 2016-08-03 but on basketbuild there the most recent MM zip is 2017-03-10.
By the way, the Nugat Release is currently without a active maintainer. That's​ probably also the reason why the newer release don't boot.
Only the fact that there are new nightlies on AOKPs every day is unfortunately no clear indicator that they actually work. That's because AOKP has a automatic build system that runs without human interaction but can't test them on a real device.

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.

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!

[Help] New to the Custom Roms world

Hi all
I’m very new to the custom roms world (I’ve just got an S4 I9505 see specs below) and i would gladly appreciate your advices. Feel free to share any advice.
I am starring at the Kitkat Google Play Edition JFLTE-GPE by Danvdh (last update 28/01/2018).
Could you advice me 3 very battery friendly roms ?
Maybe Official Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly 7.1.2) as you told me stylemessiah ; JDCteam Optimized Lineage OS 13 (stable 6.0.1) ; ... ? I read also about MIUI.
Many thanks for your help.
ps: I’m French (sorry for my bad english) using the “Free Mobile” Carrier which needs XEF CSC (i mean i prefer english language rather than french, but i need to use the “Free Mobile” Carrier).
Thanks to PhoneInfo :

Edit 2: Thank you stylemessiah for your feedback. So for the Bootloader and Modem, i'm already ready to go. Nice
-According to zetcamp (thank you) I don't need to upgrade or downgrade my current I9505XXUHPK2 Bootloader and I9505XXUHPK2 baseband for this rom.
Which are the latest bootloader and modem for my XEF i9505: I9505XXUPQG1 ?

Edit 1: Thank you audit13 for your feedback. I have successfully flashed TWRP twrp-3.1.1-0-jfltexx.img.tar with Odin v3.13.1. Then i have backuped my stock rom (EFS partition included), just in case
I would like first to do a full backup of my phone (included the EFS partition which stores the IMEI numbers and data)
Could please you tell me :
-Which is the latest TWRP version compatible with my current I9505XUHPK2 bootloader and I9505XUHPK2 baseband ? is the 3.2.1-0 ok ?
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/
-Which Odin version should i use to flash this TWRP ? Is the lastest one v3.13.1 compatible ?

TWRP is not dependent on the bootloader version. I recommend always running the phone with the latest bootloader and modem and I believe PK2 is the latest.
You can use Odin version 3.07 or newer to flash TWRP.
A battery-friendly ROM is going to be stock. There may be others but I stuck with a de-bloated stock ROM for my s4.

Ive tried GPE ROM's in the past (maybe not that exact one, it was ages ago) and found issues, though they may have been fixed by now...
Personally these days i wouldn't go less than a Nougat (Android 7) ROM (not sure why youre wanting to downgrade to KitKat - much better fucntionality and app choices in your current ROM, and better again in later ROM's), at very least the stock official LineageOS 14.1 (updated nightly) on an S4, so much better than any stock ROM, no bloat for a start. Though going with a stock ROM, if its rooted you can remove the bloat at least.....
The latest modem&bootloader is technically XXUHQC1, though i have tested it for months, i eventually went back to XXUHPK2, so i would stick with that...
Note: You can always choose to upgrade/downgrade the modem&bootloader independently of the ROM (im using PK2 with Oreo (Android 8.1), the best source, in case you ever feel like trying an alternate, they are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/ref-galaxy-s4-i9505-modems-bootloaders-t3315987 Worth sticking in your bookmarks
Note 2: They often hide some previous versions under the Click To Show Content buttons....

Hi Stylemessiah.
Ok, so for the modem and the bootloader i'm already ready to go. Nice
Could you advice me 3 very battery friendly roms ?
Maybe Official Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly 7.1.2) as you told me ; JDCteam Optimized Lineage OS 13 (stable 6.0.1) ; ...
I was hoping that because KitKat is lightweight, With 2GB of RAM it could be responsive and with a good battery life. I know that kitkat is kind of security updates outdated...
I would like to use Opera Mini, Waze, and during hiking the GPS and the Camera (no video recording). But my main usage will be 2G idle during day, and airplane mode during night. Few sms, no calls (and no games by the way, so performance or costumization doesn't matter for me).
In the old times, with my S1 i9000 i could last 6days+ with a single charge (without using much the phone indeed ...)
Thanks
