Error Flashing Modem: Secure Check Fail: mdm

I'm trying to flash an updated modem on my i337M which is running a custom DANDVH-GE-4.4.2-01162014-INTNL-STOCK.ZIP which is a Google Play work alike. I am trying to change the modem because it keeps droping the data connection and will only stay stable in 2G mode. Right now its modem is on AMDJ. I've tried to flash both the XXUEMKF, XXUFNA1, modems but I keep getting the following error:

I'm adding the modem.bin to the CP portion of Odin 3.09. I've tried doing this on all my USB ports using two new cables (all w/ the updated samsung drivers). I am using Win 8.1. All the same results. My phone says:
Code:
Odin Mode
Product name: SGH-I337M
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official

Write Protection: Enable
Then when I start flashing the following to messages appear right under the write protection message:
Code:
Start [224, 1440]
Secure Check Fail: mdm
After doing this I have to restart the phone for odin to pick it up again. It boots fine normally, and the original AMDJ modem still shows.
What's going on with this? I've looked in our forums but I can't find anything. I have TWRP installed, and I am rooted.

Hey there, I'm trying to update my I337M's modem as well (I have a post in this forum) so I'm in the same boat as you. From the looks of it, it seems like you're not using the correct modem firmware. If you'd want to update I believe it's something like UMUEMK6 for our phones, I've tried looking around and I can't find it anywhere. Hopefully that offers some direction but I'm waiting to see as well since I'm having the same problem with Google ROMs as well (The data signal never works).

Hello once again,
After a bit of work, I managed to update the modem on my phone to MUMUEMK6 (which is the newest baseband version for the I337M). Since flashing the modem firmware, I've re-installed Danvdh-GE-4.4.2-01232014b.zip and I haven't had a problem since, works without a hitch. What you need is this file which I've RARd up for you :
(Sorry, I have to obfuscate the URL since I'm a new user on these forums, just replace *dot* with a dot)
rtigue *dot* ca/files/SGH-I337M_MK6 *dot* rar
Once you've downloaded the file, simply just boot your phone in ODIN mode, open up ODIN, add the 'modem.bin' to the Phone section in ODIN and click Start. Wait a few moments and after that you should be good to go.
Let me know if anything comes up

For some reason, yours is the only version of the mk6 modem file that worked for my i337m after I was on 4.3 GE and went to old MDJ modem to try sim unlock. Which didn't work, sigh... Thanks!

@ SimonPalmieri
Hello. I'm also running a rooted i337m (Bell) with 4.2.2 i337mvluamg1 stock rom.
Please let me know if the new modem MUMUEMK6 changes the bootloader with KNOX integrated.
Thanks.

Bootloader and modem are not tied together..... MK6 is the latest modem and works with 4.4.2 roms (for I337M), once the actual 4.4.2 update drops for i337m we will be able to update to that modem.

Thanks for replying Gage_Hero.
So I'm then assuming that it's NOT a good idea to flash the mk6 modem.bin on my current rom?

First you need to decide if you want to sim unlock the phone, still possible on mvluamg1, not possible on MK6. I would make sure you have a copy of modem.bin for mvluamg1 first, just incase. Then flash the MK6, I run MK6 on 4.4.2 GErom since we don't have a kitkat modem for i337m yet... once there is I will be updating.....
PS if you can find files that have md5 checksum, that is always good because then you can check the file to make sure it is complete. I had that issue flashing the MK6 modem, first file I downloaded failed in Odin, plus it had no md5 for me to check. Second one I donwloaded had the md5, which I checked and it flashed perfectly....

i9500 no recovery partition, and unable to restore stock using odin

Hello.
I got a new Galaxy S4 (I9500) this October, and decided I would go ahead and install custom recovery on it. Me thinking I can get anything to work did not heed the warnings that this model does not support it go ahead and try anyway. Long story short, I no longer have a functioning recovery partition.
I have tried to follow several guides, most of which tell me the same thing:
Get Samsung drivers (not Kies)
Download Odin (one version or another)
Get the I9500 Firmware and install using Odin.
My phone is (from the sticker below the battery):

You don't have an i9500. Whoever told you that was lying. You have an SGH-I337 which is a completely different model. You got an AT&T model. You are trying to flash the wrong firmware.
Here is the section for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att
Bottomline you got a ****ty device with a locked bootloader. You can forget about custom recoverys and custom roms.

Model number in settings say GT-I9500, and I can use my Norwegian GSMH SIM card with it, which I would not have been able to on a AT&T phone. Anyway, at this point I don't care about custom recovery etc, I just want it working.
Edit: I also got Cyanogenmod working before I messed up the recovery

It's irrelevant what it says in the settings menu. It really easy to change it.
It's the part in download mode that matters.
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
Alright if you say the already had CM on it, then you still have an unlocked bootloader. Whatever you do, do not flash a stock AT&T rom or it will upgrade your bootloader.
Here is TWRP recovery.

Flash it using Odin. 99% of Odin errors can be resolved by using a different usb port and/or using a different usb cable.

You've a franken phone.

Cannot determine build number and original box long gone. I've downloaded a couple firmware zips from sammobile (Sprint CDMA) using files nearest to best guess for purchase date. Is it necessary to match the exact files which originally came installed or should later firmware releases also normally load? In other words, is the fail due to trying a wrong firmware revision?
Any other info I need to include here? Thanx in advance!

Hello again:
Zero replies, did I omit important information in my first request -- or am I just rehashing previous inquiries about boot loop problems? (I have read through all posts relating to boot loops but found no answers that solved the to write to Nand failures). Forgive me if it's here and I simply didn't recognize it. . .
So (succinctly) why might Odin fail to write when attempting to reload the original firmware: . . . NAND Write Start!! . . . FAIL! (Auth) . . .Complete(Write) operation failed. . . .All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
What might I be doing wrong, or what might I try instead?
Thanks again

Same thing with me.. patience gets you through it..
The same thing happened to me, same phone and same contract carrier (Sprint).
I bought my phone from a third party who apparently restores it to near-mint condition. The OS it had was one of the first releases of 6.0 /marshmallow. I tried downgradingit back to 5 / lollipop because i heard that call recording was still enabled with that OS.
I used Odin versions 3.7 thru 3.10 i believe and flashed every version of 5 that was listed on sam mobile and samsung 's site and all of them either failed to initiate- citing the same readings and failure reasons in odin that you mentioned - or they "succeeded" and resulted in boot loops.
I also failed to flash any of the earlier ROM versions of android 6 than the one my SM-G900P phone came with.
Finally, i succeeded in flashing 2 types of ROMS, the version of 6 my phone started with, then subsequently the most recent version released earlier in march 2017 (this month).
Conclusion: i believe the order that you flash these roms for our model phone with our carrier matters. Flash your phone with ROM images from the version that it came with, and continue sequentially and chronologically until your boot screen finally shows something other than that lovely little sprint logo
Good luck with your son's phone, and please let us k ow how it goes..... as i think this may be a recurring theme we may see more often in the future. I imagine the problem lies with either odin, samsung sm-g900p, or the sprint/cdma ROMa we're dealt.

Have you tried samsung kies yet? Odin is for rooting your phone. Samsung kies will put updated firmware in your phone. I have used it several times in the past on a sam phone. It will work. Its from samsung company.

Majorly Messed Up Rooting, Can't Flash Stock Firmware

I'll try to give as many details as I can.
Recently I did a root, which worked perfectly fine. Didn't know what I was doing, so I looked around and downloaded Xposed and did all the steps to get it on my phone. After opening it, it asked to download additional firmware or updates or something. I agreed, and the system rebooted once it downloaded what it needed to. Then, when it rebooted, it told me that it was unable to authorize or verify, or something. Essentially it wouldn't let me back into my phone and I didn't know what to do. So I downloaded the most current firmware for my model from Updato, but it didn't seem to work. I tried doing just the AP, then doing the BL-AP-CP-CSC, tried both Home and non home versions as well. After that, if I'm not in download mode, it tries to update software, and then runs a quick string, and then repeats, which I assume is just a textbook case of boot looping.

Can't post links, but on Updato, under SM-G935U, the first one with 8.0.0 is the one I used.
I tried some suggestions I found looking around, like changing out the USB cable, but ultimately it didn't help and it was fine to use to flash the original root in the first place, and I have Samsung drivers installed.
I would really appreciate some insight. Appreciate it.

sounds like you took an OTA while rooted.
I think you're ODIN flash might be failing because you're OTA might've updated your bootloader.
You need to determine the build you're on from recovery if you can get there and make sure you're flashing a build with the same (preferably) or greater (bad if you want to go back) bootloader. The 5th digit from the right is the bootloader version.

First of all - are you sure the phone got rooted in the 1st place? As your KNOX seems still 0x0 you probably did not modify too much...
Anyway - something to try is to flash the stock with additional PIT file included which rewrites the partitioning from scratch. Try that one

SM-T510 recovery:Error validating footer.

My tablet is currently stuck in download mode where every time i try to cancel it, it just reboots back into download mode with the error "recovery:Error validating footer. (6)", "VBMETA T510XXU5CVG2, 54266617A" This occurred while i was messing around trying to root the tablet after i had attempted to flash TWRP to the device (ver: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016.html). I believe this is 2016 tab firmware and my tab is a 2019 which may be the reason its bricked, however i have attempted to flash 2 versions of what i believe to be the correct firmware, one from frija and one from samfw, with both failing in odin hanging on SetupConnection. At one point i was able to restart the tablet after these flashes with the error "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." After which i was able to flash the samfw firmware in a flash that only took 3 seconds to complete without the usual file logs.
