make sure you are selecting Phone and not PDA. confirmed working by numerous people.

if you can pull it. i don't have those files on hand. i may get them tmw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BDHela:
I did that sir. Still saying MDB in about. Sorry :(

Running Wicked 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this is a one part modem.bin. the Odin file in OP is a two-part modem, modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin. i'm fairly certain we need both parts and am not sure how that works via CWM. i can make one with both parts flashed to the modem location, but can't guarantee what that would do if anything...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
not sure what to tell you, mate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
I did the same, Odin to phone and it says MDB but Odin reported 1 successful and 0 failed. Isn't there two files though?

MD5 checked out so I know all of that is solid it wasn't a bad download, maybe it's a glitch or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes, two files but it will always say 1 successful. says same when you flash an entire stock image which includes quite a few files (imgs).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
I saw the other file you listed in the scroll report while flashing but it never said it errored at all just listed then completed the reboot, meh maybe it's just one of those things it's hit or miss depending on the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devo3d:
OK.. It sure is a slow DL.. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
I know, it is slow but steady. Can't complain too much since it's free :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devo3d:
Well that flash fixed my WiFi issues but still cannot get a Metro PCS signal of any kind... Not even phone calls. I selected the option to "search for service providers" but it only showed up Verizon... No GSM Tmobile. I'm so confused it's not funny. What could possibly be the issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
Does the phone work with another carrier?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devo3d:
No. I believe it's just detecting the LTE signal. I've read a bunch of other posts but can't seem to come to a definite reason for the issue. Is a SIM lock the same as a CARRIER lock on this phone? Thats the only thing I can come up with. Is there a such thing as a broken GSM receiver/radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
Before flashing back to stock, did you flash a modem that wasn't made for the i337m?

Sim lock can refer to a pin you must enter to unlock the sim for use.

A carrier or network lock is where a phone is locked to a particular carrier.

In this case, the phone should be carrier unlocked as it has been registered on the freedom network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devo3d:
I only flashed the Modem for the M919. It does not ask for a pin when inserting a Non-Tmobile Sim . That's why I was wondering about Carrier Lock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
Did you try an AT&T sim in the phone?

Sorry about all the edits. I'm following two threads and getting the m919 posts mixed up with the 337 posts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BabyBearBk:
Can I get a different link? All I get is a empty response, even on a VPN. Any possible way to get it from another link? Please and thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] varunkp:
Same problem here

Did anyone find a solution to this??? I have the exact same problem here.. I can only see people discussing other matters and not this.. Do check this problem guys!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
maybe. i'm not sure. hoping to test it myself tmw. am going to hopefully get to pull MDB radio tmw as well. both will depend on if the device i'm getting has been updated which is likely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Just out of curiosity I tried to flash it through PDA and it reported 1 successful and 1 failed but it didn't fix the listing in settings, phone responds fine though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah shouldn't be PDA. PDA = build number. Phone = Baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
I'm afraid I have no way/knowledge to do that. I hope you can get it though.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Yeah I know I get that I just tried it to see if it would change the build number at all I did it the phone way first but for some reason it went without updating the settings list.

Edit: After a day of testing and the fact I live in Boston so LTE will be at least a year away I'm assuming the latest radio is not as good as the previous version. I keep going to G mode regularly and 4G is little to none in locations I had it all the time. Hopefully the MDB radio is added to the OP soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if someone has it. I couldn't grab it, the new one was running the update unfortunately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Tell me what you need me to get and I'll get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i, as well as many others i'm sure, would appreciate this

do you have adb set up? you'll need that first

then

you need to do something like:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin bs=4096"

then pull them from your sdcard like so

adb pull /sdcard/modem.bin C:\

adb pull /sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin C:\

the above should be the correct dev blocks respectively. they could be interchangeable and they both could just be on the first mount point. but this should be correct.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 92drls:
So the real question, has this helped anyone?

I'm in the midwest, specifically Springfield Mo and surrounding areas with no signal issues but the data is MUCH slower than my S3 was. Like 20-25 mb to now 4-8mb. I'm hoping this will fix it. Is there another Radio to flash back to?

Edit: I already have MDL.. This wont help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Cool, I'll Odin back to stock release and have it out to you later tonight. I'm a "dd" fan myself but I'm set up for just about everything adb should be set up on every users puter if you ask me lol.

Just didn't know which dev/blocks it was but I'm on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i agree, every Android user should have adb. i believe those are the correct ones according to k0nane's thread. they're here if you care to take a look. again, thank you :)

Took me a while to download the mdb. tar from kOnanes link it just wasn't working till this morning so I'll get that done after work. Is it just me or is it impossible to find an official release of that build? Hopefully that has everything in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it's impossible, afaik, to find an official release of that build unless it's on the handset. i wanna say the modem is not included in that download but i could be wrong. maybe your eyes will spot something mine didn't, hopefully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
I never did the OTA so I'm on MDB still. If he doesn't get it, I'll contribute to this and try to get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Follow the steps, all you need to pull is the modem and the other file. If you have trouble with it let me know and I'll pm my Gtalk and walk you through it as soon as I get to the house.

I'll still revert back out of curiosity to see if the modem is included but if your device untouched per say that will be a sure thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
Pulled the files and packed into a zip file. The individual files were 3Mb each, and the packed zip came up to 6.19Kb so I hope it's what you need. If not let me know what to do and I will try again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
It should be a larger file than that, the modem I flashed was almost 23mbs but I'll see what I get too maybe I'm missing something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
I thought as much, that's why I posted the adb log activity with the file sizes and everything. If you want me to try something else, I'll gladly try it out for the good of the community.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks for helping, Orical and dragon. one file should be closer to 50mb and the other is smaller, maybe around 6mb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
Hmm that's way off then. Although I'm good at following directions, I have almost no clue how to do this. I know the dd commands can be dangerous though, so I'll wait for instructions instead of blindly trying things randomly. What else should I try to get this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the modem.bin might be on the other block, so try

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
hmmm still got only a 3Mb file

Maybe my adb is not working right? Though if it was not working right, I don't see why it would even make the files. What should I try next?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it's working, mate. this is my fault that you aren't pulling the right thing. i will do some pull tests as soon as i get home to ensure i am giving you correct pull locations. i have to re-build the ROM i'm testing so after that i will get on it and we will get this sorted. again, completely my fault. thanks again for trying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
Since this dd command is only moving from phone to sd, should I just try to pull the modem from all the blocks listed in k0nane's thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the second part i listed would pull from your sdcard

adb pull /sdcard/modem.bin C:\

but instead of trying all mounts, i'd try this one first

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 - modem.bin

edit: i'm gonna try and do the above pull on the MDL and see what happens. will report back shortly

edit: the above block is the modem.bin. i successfully pulled MDL modem.bin. it's 52mb. now i have to find the other, NON-HLOS.bin.

edit: please just hold off on this. i will speak with k0nane and just ask. the modem.bin i pulled doesn't match up with the one i pulled from the MDL TAR.

Flashable MDL Baseband

Guys thanks for all the work that you've been putting into creating a Flashable zip file, I went ahead and tried it through odin with the MDL provided file made sure I hit the phone no the PDA file and still on MDB...... Thanks anyways...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Closed Source Project:
I tried flashing this in odin and my device keeps saying I have the older baseband. Does anyone know a way on how I can upgrade to the newer baseband? Thanks!

--

Just read through the thread and determined that you guys didn't figure this out yet, nevermind..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Yeah it seems to be hit or miss, not sure what's causing it but if it matters then I would restore the device and do an official update via Odin then CF-Auto-Root and flash what ever you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
download link is still live. dev host was prob acting up

not sure why it works sometimes and not others. it does work though.

huh? we're trying to get MDB. the link in OP does indeed work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Closed Source Project:
Then I must be doing something wrong, can you please help me? I tried to odin the new baseband and it successfully works in odin. However, when I reboot the device, in settings>about phone it says my baseband is the older version. Also, wifi on the new stock wont work, I assume it's because I'm still on the older baseband. Can you please help? In Odin, I flashed it as Phone.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

Okay. On my fourth try it randomly worked lol!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
So it actually says mdl base band now, interesting I'll have to try it a few more times lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitrogen618:
Works for me.. Just followed instruction.. DB - > DL

I do notice there a improvement of LTE speed in my area.. (1-2mbps different, not much)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] real977:
Not sure if this did the trick, but after trying to odin mdl 5+ times the mdl modem still wouldnt stick. But then I enabled dev options by tapping build number 5 times and then re odin the mdl modem and it finally worked! Just wondering if this helped out anyone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
glad to see everyone getting it working :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXchrizhurtyXx:
Still cant get it working thou :(

Steps i do.

1-Put the modem file into the odin folder. (I use odin 3.0.7)

2-I run odin, and uncheck everything except auto-reboot

3-click phone and select the modem.

4-Connect my phone while in download mode.

5-Run, it say sucessful but it never updates my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
try what real977 suggested
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXchrizhurtyXx:
I tried that aswell, forgot to mention above.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
only thing left to do would be to flash the full MDL TAR mate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXchrizhurtyXx:
Lol, i even tried that yesterday.

It was left on MDB, i dont know i guess my phone is wierd :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Yeah I'm doing that when I get home from work today, then back to what I had set up previously.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Damn I can't get it to stick for the life of me, I'm starting to get pissed but if I had a way to get back to full stock release build MDB and update it officially then root it I'd be all set but A. the build doesn't exist for some reason it should be out and I tried to use two methods to get back to stock but it just won't do it.

Anyone have another idea kicking around that I can try?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JawjaBill:
I am one of the ones that this does not work for. RATS! So I continue my search for the full MDL experience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
I had to do it the other way but I took a big risk to get it to full MDL to the point I wouldn't advise it. Revert back to stock rooted and use triangle away and reboot straight to download mode them flash using Odin the official MDL then CF-Auto-Root it to get it back to stock root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dyereve01:
i just recently purchased an unlocked i9505 with the i9505zhuame3 radio. i have Cincinnati Bell as my service provider which i believe uses T-Mobile towers. Would i be able to flash this modem or any other one to my S4 so that i can get data connectivity greater than the 2g EDGE network (3g/4g)? or am i simply SOL as of right now? I'd rather not have to sell the phone for another variant if possible. I've skimmed through several threads trying to find a solution but have not come across anything yet. Any help would be much appreciated!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rpolito73:
The MDL modem doesn't seem to work as well for me as the MBD. Is the a MBD file to Odin back to it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
unfortunately, there is currently no way to. MDB baseband seems to be in the wind... :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
I still have the MDB one if we can figure out how/where to pull it, I'm more than willing to help provide it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah unfortunately i'm just not positive on the dev block that the two files reside on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
Would it hurt to just try all off them? I mean clearly the first two times it just copied random to the sd card. Worst case scenario I end up with like 30 wrong ones and then the right one. Right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rpolito73:
It's cool. I backed up right after I rooted. I can flash back to that.... Thanks for all the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i mean yeah. i just don't have time for it right now. i'm working on dev stuff plus doing things at my home which is consuming my nights/free time.

if someone really wants the files, they'll figure out how to pull them so i can make an Odin package. someone pull them, and i make it usable. doesn't get much easier than that :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
uhhh well, the mdm looks to be right. the other, though, off of param/backup... iunno about that one. not sure which it could be. i'll have to look into it. too busy today, though. tmw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
So was looking at the partitions on the AT&T S4 from this thread. It looks like they all match ours. So based on that I took a look at this thread. Downloaded the zip file and looked at the updater script to see what it was doing. Based on this it looks like mdm has the modem.bin and param has the NON-HLOS.bin files. So I think that is what we need. Did you want me to pull the files so you can make an Odin flashable package?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
Yes if you have them that would be great, upload them and post the links and I'll grab them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah either or. i have to be at home to make it for Odin because i need Linux.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
I'm surprised Samsung hasn't released the Odin tar for mdb as they know they're supposed to and the mdl is easily available which means they're dragging their feet for a reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlEjAnDrO812:
You dont need NON-HLOS.BIN to change the modem... Only the modem.bin

If you have problems with non-hlos.bin use only modem.bin to create the .tar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
I'm still on the MDB baseband if you want me to try and get the files again. If you could point me to a guide on how to make Odin flashable tar files, I'd be willing to try and make it myself. The guides I've found myself were not very well written and I didn't want to risk anything. I'm probably going to have to move my netbook to Linux, shouldn't be too hard. Just time consuming because it's a netbook.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KaneHusky:
Since I still have MDB, I pulled all of the dev blocks and checked each file's structure.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 is NON-HLOS.bin even though the file size is larger than that of MDL

Here are the files for MDB:

modem.bin

NON-HLOS.bin

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Does the MDL update make any noticeable difference on the T Mobile network?

Is it like a MUST HAVE modem update? Or is it one of those "it depends on your area" sorts of things?
