I know this has been the case ever since I had an S4, but I have been trying to find out the reason why we can't flash modems on a GT-i9505. I'm confused as to why this is so, especially considering this apparently works on other S4 variants.

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] (or anyone else), do you have any idea as to why we cannot flash modems through recovery on a GT-i9505?

I've been trying to flash modem.bin images though a CWM flashable zip, trying both using a dd command in a called shell, and directly in the updater-script like below:

assert(package_extract_file("modem.bin", "/tmp/modem.bin"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"),

delete("/tmp/modem.bin"));

This method above, and also a dd when performed in a recovery-flashable .zip file just hangs indefinitely. I have to long-press the power button to reboot.

I use modem.bin files extracted from modems in djembey's thread. The flash in Odin, but fail in CWM.

What is preventing us being able to flash modem.bin to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and non-hlos.bin to /dev/block/mmcblk0p1?

Any ideas most welcome....

I already added a toggle to keep old binary despite i think that if a rom needs it, you should really go away of the rom until its dev cares to fix his code. But sure that getprop cannot be fixed in recovery. KitKat is not JB

All is in faq. Nothing more will be added to that issue from my side

I'm wondering... why the hell does the updater script (pattern?) changes so often? :confused:

Hi,

I just tested if an online Nandroid backup could be restored with Philz Recovery.

Well, sort of.

1. I created the online backup and (to be sure) another one with Philz Recovery.

2. I wiped the phone (clean for a new ROM installation, not just factory reset).

3. I installed the online Nandroid backup with Philz. No errors that I could see.

4. I booted, which succeeded.

But: I had no SIM connection, no PIN was asked and the only thing I had was Wifi. In the settings menu, I saw "Base band version" "unknown". So it somehow failed to restore the modem.

I then installed the other backup that I made with Philz Recovery and everything was back to normal.

Is this a known issue? Maybe it's not Philz' problem since I had other issues before with modem having to be installed twice, even via Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pitastrudl:
Did you backup your efs partition? you probably wiped your imei....Hopefully you backed it up with philz so restore the nandroid made with philz recovery and hope to have your connecetivity back to normal.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
A little known story i guess but that i don't know much lol

From what i remember (can't search the thread right now) it's must probably related to SELinux ("SELinux backup" search should give pertinent results).

SELinux infos are backup'd by default and it's better but if such things happens after restore you should restore your backup again this time with SELinux unticked (via custom restore i presume) and it should be ok.

Edit:Ha,was an Online Nand restored with Philz but the one made via Philz is ok? Maybe different story then,dunno sorry..

hi, i just wanted to thank you personally for making such a commbination of cwm and twrp features in one easy to use recovery,

if it was not for you, i would be heavily struggling on twrp of cwm individually, as i literally first did,

i had tripped knox on both my s4's

and kies couldnt even SEE the phones,

i put a custom cyanogen rom on just to try and get back onto something bootable.

i then used odin with the pit file to install "I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_HOME.tar.md5"

after such it booted up, and i found i installed more on one phone than the other, so i was trying to make them identical

so after a hell of a lot of work, i just this minute fixed the issue, as it couldnt see data, thankfully it wiped it propperly this time,

allowing me to restore (nandroid version of a backup)

and i kept your recovery on haha,

im so made up now as i can literally call it an OS backup with software, just like the pc haha

I think you will find that is not an issue. The delay your experienceing is simply the system "mounting" the external sdcard. So no need for concern.
