[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] procco13:
I'm not disputing wifi with END2 does not work for you (and perhaps others). It is strange why it works for some, does not work for others.

I am using the END2 modem and MK5 bootloader with CM11 and wifi works perfectly fine (it also worked fine with CM10.2 before I upgraded).

What are the symptoms you are experiencing?

Could just be a compatibility issue between rom and modem. The only rom ive seen anyone mention with this issue is s3rx. Im willing to bet if i wipe and switch roms wifi will work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I'm using the END2 modem (and have been since the day I released it) on CM11 nightlies and have NEVER had problems with WiFi. Every time I turn it on, it connects within seconds, and works flawlessly. Are you using an older ROM that hasn't been updated in a few months?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
Same setup here and 100% working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nodyarg:
As i said it could just be a compatibility issue between rom and modem. Sounds like it works fine with CM based roms and the only rom ive seen anyone mention with this issue is s3rx. So it probably doesnt work with the current version of s3rx rom, and maybe all touchwiz roms. I will test this theory with another TW rom later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chewingum16:
i found the problem.. i'm using 4.3 stock ROM & SR3x is based in the same RoM, WiFi not work in JB ..but for who use CM 4.4 wifi will work...i have updating my phone to CM11 & installing END2 oops wifi work perfecly!!!!

modems with 4.4.4

Hi Guys

I have a Galaxy s3 i 747u att rooted and running slimkat 4.4.4. I have no Knox and I was wondering which modems I can try with that rom. Currently I am using I747UCUEMJB. Would that be the latest available or are there more I could try? This is the most current on the modem list on this thread. I also read that some modems might brick your phone depending on what rom version you are and which modem you are using.

Also what is the KNOX? I know I do not have it on my phone. I used Skunkape's way to root and then have custom touchwiz rom and from there i went to slimkat. Is knox something to have? or better be without?

If someone has free time and wants to give some info on that I would appreciate.

Thank you

Just to be sure I understood this as said before I do something stupid. If you're on KK, you can only use the modem that matches the bootloader? Is this on all roms across the board, or specific to stock or aosp roms?

I have issues with my i747u (AT&T) on Straight Talk losing signal completely at times. Only happens for 30secs or so then comes back. Thought about trying out a different modem before I go through the hell of dealing with ST customer service. Just got this phone a few weeks ago and absolutely love it.

Yeah, you are stuck with that modem regardless of the rom you use. If you flash another one your cellular connection will not work.

Since you had just got the device, you might want to look into a warranty or insurance replacement. Just a thought.

Gotcha. That's a bummer. I got the phone from Swappa. Mint condition, well taken care of. Could be the sim which I've heard people say before. Maybe just a tower issue here. Who knows in these boondock areas.

Maybe Straight Talk has issues with the sims that enable LTE. I've been using them for years with no issues until now. But before, I was using an S2 (i777), that doesn't have LTE. The issue is a little better now. Bit dropping as often as it was.

Maybe I got a bum SIM card or something. I did just recently notice that my SIM sits kind of crooked in the slot. A little leaned to the left if you're looking at it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
It can be difficult to diagnose problems like those on mvno's. You can be in one area using att networks, then take a trip and find they are using T-Mobile. Plus the big carriers are always upgrading and at times this can cause changes in what frequencies they use for what technology. I've seen T-Mobile make these changes but not one if the mvno's, causing lots of signal issues for people. Just another angle to consider.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
I'm not sure which version LK3 is, but the MJB modem will only work with the 4.3 bootloader.

As for it not being able to open the zip file, I'm not sure. Did you check the md5 of the download? Does the recovery.log give any extra info?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
What is your bootloader? You said it was LK3 at first then said you were on 4.4.

If you're not sure, open terminal emulator and enter this :

getprop ro.bootloader

Whatever build it returns is the modem you should flash. If you still can't flash though, try a different recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ubuntujason:
It returns: i747UCDLK3

if I flash CyanogenMod 11 m11 with that modem, I will have no data (only voice, SMS an WiFi)

I guess I can try switching to clockwork recovery, I switched a while back because it wouldn't install cm properly (for a lot of people)

Other ideas? Another place to download the i747ucemjb modem maybe? (I haven't seen any)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
LK3 is 4.1.1 so you cannot use the MJB modem. You need to update your firmware to MJB or NE4. On both builds you can only use matching modems.

Hello Guys

So I am reading this thread because my bootloader is UCDLK3 and my baseband modem is UCUEMJB, I am on slimkat 4.4.4. I have been on this for months now and it is working fine.

What is the purpose of updating the bootloader especially when i read that once you go forward and upgrade you can not go back because you will brick the device.

Also another question I have.. regarding Knox... is that related to the bootloader? I do not have Knox on my phone and I dont think i want to have it on.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
The simplest answer is that if it is working for you there is no reason to upgrade.

Yes, Knox is in the bootloader. For the i747/d2att on AT&T, the last firmware w/o Knox was the leaked MJ2 bootloader. You can downgrade from the MJ2 bootloader. I am running the MJ2 bootloader with the MJB modem on a 4.3 custom ROM with no problems. There are TouchWiz KitKat ROMs that will run on this combination.

However, I have read other ROM threads, both TW and AOSP, where people were unsuccessful installing the ROM w/o upgrading to the MJB or even NE4 bootloaders, both of which will have Knox. I have seen reports for CM of people needing newer firmware than LK3 to run nightly and milestone releases after a certain date. I don't recall if the MJ2 is satisfactory or if the solution required installing a firmware with Knox. On the TouchWiz side, most of the custom ROMs remove Knox.

Beyond the MJB firmware and modem I have read brick reports resulting from mismatched bootloader and modem. Some of these were reports of hardbricks only remedied with a board replacement.

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Samsung's white paper regarding Knox can provide more info if you truly are looking for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hellenicboy:
Thank you for the detailed information. That certainly cleared up things for me a lot. So from what i understood upgradind to MJ2 bootloader with no knox does not offer anything to me and no need to upgrade unless it is required by a rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I would agree that there is no need to upgrade unless required by a ROM.

I haven't looked into what is added to the bootloader firmware with each upgrade, other than Knox showing up with the MJB version. From what I have read, each subsequent bootloader makes it more difficult to customize your device and introduces greater risks of bricking that device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] epiquiem:
Due to issues with APNs and Mobile Data in every nightly past October for my d2att, I've updated successfully my bootloader and modem from LK3 to MJB using this thread for modem and this one for bootloader.

Okay, here's a stupid question. I'm trying to figure out if there are updates for my Bootloader and Baseband. I have a Bell i747M.

I downloaded and installed "Phone INFO Samsung", and its telling me the following:

Looking at the OP of this thread, both of the "versions" above are listed as a Modem (baseband?). The baseband being the latest, and the bootloader being June 1st, 2013 . Is this right? Should they both be on the same? This is always the part that confuses me. I'm just checking on everything because since going back from Lollipop to 4.4.4, I'm getting random shutdowns, and I"m trying to figure out what's happened.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stanguay:
I am also confused with the latest bootloader and modem.

I am on Telus and my bootloader and modem are : I747MVLUFNF2.

I realy don't know if is the last one but before I root I was on the offical 4.4.2 in november 2014.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
It would appear that you are running a JellyBean (4.3) bootloader and a KitKat modem (4.4.2). The Canadian modems from this thread are a bit newer than yours.; NE6, NF2, and NH2. I believe they are all 4.4.2 generation modems.

I don't believe the bricking of devices from mismatched modems and bootloaders is as certain to occur on Canadian S3s as it is on AT&T S3s. But then, this mismatch could be why you are having the random shutdowns. On the cautious side I would recommend that you do not downgrade the modem, if any thing upgrade the bootloader to the same version as your current modem. Another possible solution would be to reflash your current ROM, wiping the internal sdcard along with cache, dalvik, system, etc. I would probably try this first, that is if you didn't do so when leaving Lollipop.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cquilliam:
Thanks for your response. I have attempted a few times to reflash my current ROM while wiping everything possible. I've even tried to go back to Lollipop, but the issue persisted. But, I think I now have it narrowed down to an actual hardware issue. I believe my power button is getting stuck, I can recreate the shut down just by waking the device with the power button, or, having the device active, and then pressing the power button to turn off the screen. There are also times when I try to power on my phone, and it comes on, but goes off about 8 seconds later, which would be consistant of the button sticking, then force power off the device. I think I'm going to try and bring my phone back to complete factory condition and bring it in to my carrier to get a replacement.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
That does sound like a power button issue. Hope you are successful in getting a replacement.
