I flashed my v350awm10w to the v350ulm20d version and was wondering if by doing so affected any LTE signal speeds.

Hello
I have a i9505 s4 mobile. When I change modem I always use modems from a tread here in XDA developers and flash them with odin.
But I am wondering about the difference between GSM and LTE modem.
If I flash the LTE modem, does only the 4G/3G LTE modem gets updated and not the GSM?
And if I flash only GSM does the same happens visa versa?
Should I update both modems?
I always switch between GSM and 3G when im in different areas to make my mobile last longer...
Hi, guys.
I have ls980 on stock ZVA, rooted and GSM unlocked. 3g works fine, but there is no LTE. I live in Russia, and our LTE bands are 7,20,38.
So, is there any way to enable other LTE bands than Sprint's 25,26,41? To flash proper radio or baseband may be?
Thanks!
the same question. Any solve?
No I don't believe you can just flash different modem and enable bands because the phone has different models... Chances are it is a difference in hw and flashing an incompatible modem may cause a brick
I own a i9505 International LTE model. My carrier has soon went for TDD LTE in Romania which is a first here. As everybody knows this far the i9505 only supports FDD LTE.
There seems to be two S4 models i9507 and I9507V that both support TDD LTE bands and are available in HK and Australia.
Tried flashing the LTE modem from those models but my bootloader refuses the file and i get an error in ODIN.
I used QXDM and modified the phone. DFS CDMA tool uppon scan now shows my phone accepts the stock LTE bands + Band38 but when
the phone attempts to connect to the Band38 it goes with no signal no network then falls back into 3G.
I believe i enabled the permision to connect to Band38 but because the modem has no instructions of it , it still can't communicate on Band38
There have been reports of i9507+-V users that flashed i9505 roms and theyre modem got overwriten resulting in no more DATA connection for them. It's clear FDD modem on a TDD network will not work.
Is there any chance of forcing the LTE modem from i9507V onto the i9505 phone ? Would Heimdall overpass the bootloader's check ?
The i9505 latest bootloader and modem is OH2 , on I9507V there is OH3
Also what is the worst case scenario ? I would imagine FDD network loss and/or wifi. Is that impossible to recover from or flashing the correct modem over would fix it ?
Anyone encoutered flashing the wrong modem file and recovered from it ?
I don't care if i loose FDD networks since my carrier only has TDD on 4G.
Also. Would it be possible to combine the i9505 5.0.1 sources against i9507V 5.0.1 sources and come up with a combined/hybrid modem ?
You are from Romania?
Yes.
I read that it can be activated with QXDM on lg g2 and sam. s5. Did you tried it?
I used QXDM and added band38 , when LTE is enabled in network type it works 5%. It tries to connect to the 4g signal then drops dead with no network no signal and goes back to 3g.
QXDM only adds permision to connect to certain bands , the i9505 modem does not have the instructions on how to communicate with a TDD network (band38 is TDD not FDD)
Nobody owning a G2 , G3 or S5 managed to add a functional TDD band. You can add more FDD bands thats for sure but not TDD without a proper modem.
That's why i'm curious about binding the i9507V modem with I9505 somehow so it gives it the instructions on how you can communicate on TDD networks.
That is sad. Because to the and of this year rcs will introduce lte in my city as well.
I am having signal issues with the n9100 (china mobile). Currently I am in Canada on Rogers network. I have rooted the phone and currently using a custom Rom (Aurora). The firmware is on 5.1.1 and baseband is on the latest. I do get 4G signal but it gets weak when I am inside my house and usually is in Edge mode. The signal was decent when I was in China. I am sure its a modem issue, but is it possible to install a rogers modem onto this without bricking (probably lose dual sim but thats ok)? If not, is there a fix? Can I force my phone to use a certain frequency/band that Rogers uses and see if that helps?
Hi,
I'm currently on cm12.1 v19.3 temasek build(sm-n9005 hlte) and I'm having problem with my connection my phone doesn't connect to LTE and 2g.. I have already updated my baseband and bootloader to the latest version, it just boosted my signal but no connection on 2g and lte.
