New Telcel Mexico Firmware wirt MG1

Hey guys, MG1 has been released for TCE too, can someone rip the modem so we can flash it, please, MDL is too old, and I never tought telcel would care for an update, so its a nice surprise. I hope someone does, because flashing the whole firmware ante then CWModing my custom rom is too much work, but if I have to, i would, jaja, Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Werewolf88:
tried to flash MG1 with regular ODIN, failed

tried mobile odin pro, softbricked the phone, stucks at S4 logo, recovery won't load, download mode works, downloading stock rogers firmware

I was on Golnedeneye ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
which phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Werewolf88:

I posted these but here they are again:

Modem:

Non-hlos:

This was taken from my phone after having applied the MG1 modem and then enabling AWS via applying AWS.qcn file. Both files are bins. I didn't make a zip but if you could make a flashable zip that would be awesome.

Edit: modem is mg1 and non-hlos is mf3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
Weird have the same phone.. works for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Werewolf88:
hell knows man, I'm gonna try to flash stock rogers software now, hopefully it will work

UPDATE: flashed, works) for some reason I have all my app and accounts) it didn't wipe the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
Did you try this one or the one in the op?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Werewolf88:
stock firmware fixed everything, I've rooted it already, flashed CWM, and flashing goldeneye ROM again)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
Uploading to drop box... won't be a zip though still can't zips to flash on MG1 firmware... but a tar

do i have to flash both bin file ? if yes can you please tell me how i will do wich one is first and wich second whats method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alttwo:
Yes. It shows failed in red text and says AUTH ERROR when I flash it with Odin. i would use mobile odin but my verizon i545 is not supported
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
You're extracting the modem.bin from the tar right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] simho:
I only flashed the modem file. Actually I'm curious if one does need to flash both files...cause I didn't. If not, what is the other one for???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
The nonhlos.bin should only be flashed to match the firmware you are using so example, if your already on MDL firmware and you flash mf3 modem you dont flash the nonnhlos.bin from the mf3 because the nonhlos.bin currently is mdl...if you then upgraded to an mf3 firmware then you would flash the mf3 non-hlos.bin

Cool?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] simho:
Awesome thanks for the wisdom on that. OK then I should let everyone know about the modem.bin and non-hlos.bin files I uploaded.

I'm running MDOB so mf3. Then I flashed just the mg1 modem. The modem and non-hlos bin files I extracted then means modem is mg1 but non-hlos is mf3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
Assuming you're WiFi works and you're not getting Knox messages then ya the one you uploaded was mf3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] simho:
Yup. WiFi working and not getting Knox messages. I updated my last post to note that the non-hlos is mf3.

Thanks for the knowledge bomb.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chargen2:
I'm trying to get band 4 LTE working on my SGH-I337M with Omega ROM 9. I had been on Mint Jelly 2.1 and both LTE bands 4 and 7 were working great, but I wanted a fresher ROM.

I was excited to see the MG1AWS package as I thought this might get LTE band 4 working again (which is the AWS band I believe).

Anyway, can't flash from ODIN - same Auth error as above - looks to be trying to authenticate the modem or something.

Install via Mobile ODIN - seems to go successfully but the baseband doesn't change from MDJ, the version I've been on since day one with this phone.

If anyone has any ideas I would very much appreciate them!

On a related note, I selected the modem.bin for Modem #2 in Mobile Odin, but what slot does the other non-HLOS.bin file go in? Is this maybe related to the problem above?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

For crying out loud - I am getting band 4 LTE. I was mistaken!

Would still like to get a newer modem installed if that is possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
Ya I'm not sure why it's working for most and not for some... could be that odin doesn't recognize the firmware your on..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TehZam:
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before.

I have no intention of wasting anybody's time with my question, but if one of you can answer my question I would greatly appreciate it.

Did anybody install the T-Mobile modem on the AT&T version of the Galaxy S4. If you did, how did it go?

Thank you very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chocodough:
Ok this who MF3 modem thing is getting me confused.

Currently I am using the GE 4.2.2 ROM with the MDL baseband. I am working on putting on a rooted, deodexed...etc...version of AT&T's MF3 ROM.

In the past with my GS3 and Note 2, I just flashed any AT&T baseband I wanted to, regardless of what ROM I was using and that was that.

But here things are confusing. I've always flashed my basebands in CWM, but here is says you have to do it in Odin or Mobile Odin? I can't install the MF3 modem in CWM?

Also why doesn't the MF3 file have the non-hlos.bin in the archive like all the other modem files I am used to?

So basically what the heck am I supposed to do to put on the MF3 baseband? I am not sure of the proper procedure from the files on here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2Tone5:
We took out flashing in recovery because they weren't flashing correctly ei the baseband wasn't changing... The new method works for pretty much everyone ... As far as non hlos goes why would you need it if your on MDL?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CPA Poke:
Uhhh no, don't do that. Mobile Odin isn't available for AT&T variants for a reason - it requires an unlocked bootloader.

I would assume Chainfire would have put some kind of device check other than build.prop in his installation that won't let you even try, but I wouldn't even take the chance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chocodough:
To be honest, I have no idea what the non-hlos.bin even does. I just remember that every modem archive I've ever downloaded for either the GS3 or the Note 2 had that file in there, so I thought it was just required.

And the MF3 flashes in CWM recovery just fine. I did it once a few weeks back, but ended up going back to MDL for some reason.

I just wasn't sure why everyone was having issues with flashing in CWM, I've always flashed my basebands in there. I don't think I ever flashed one in Odin before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Is there an MDL TWR recovery flashable zip somewhere by chance?

No I'm pretty sure they're just the zip's from the first page.

Running an i9505 GE ROM, flashed through TWRP and baseband updates.

Not the case for everybody?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chocodough:
I've been installing basebands through CWM since the SG2 days, which was 4 phones back for me.

All the modem files I come across are made to flash in recovery. Here is what I do, it may be overkill, but I like to be thorough.

1) Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache

2) Flash baseband in CWM

3) Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache again

4) Fix permissions

5) Reboot

Works every time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chocodough:
Ya TAR ones I believe have to be done in Odin. Don't use Modile Odin, try using the regular PC based Odin, that may work better for you.

The ZIP file modems in the OP should flash fine in CWM.

What recovery are you using out of curiosity? You extracted the modem.bin file and just flashed that?

I finally managed to get the MG1 Rogers modem installed, through with a bit of a headache. I wound up doing a nandroid backup, flashing the full Rogers ROM, then reinstalling TWRP and restoring my recovery.

I did try extracting the modem.bin from the package and flashing that (noted the byte count differed compared to the one in this thread) but with no luck.

Not sure why my experience has been so different from others.

As far as I know, you can't do anything with a phone with has MF3 already preloaded. I don't even think you can root MF3 if it is already on your phone.

MG1 Zip file

Is there a way someone can upload and mg1 modem that we can flash via CWM ????

Mobile Odin wont work with the Att GS4

What if we replace the Modem.bin file to one of the already available .zip files do you think that can be done ????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MattMJB0188:
Just wanted to double check before I flash my first ever modem. I am currently on MDL firmware and have that modem. So if I want to flash the MF3 modem, all I'd have to do it hook up to Odin and then follow the directions in the original post?

If I ever wanted to go back to MDL it would be the same thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Why don't you just flash the zip thru recovery for mf3, I am on it with mdl and radio works fine. Currently running Wicked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shremi:
I tried to replace the modem.bin in one of the available .zips but i got an intallation error.. maybe because i did it on a OSX computer ..... I dont know just wanted to share this with you guys.

I have noticed a mild difference in signal strength and speeds YMMV

I flashed this thru recovery while on an mdl rom. Not sure the rom matters--anyone disagree--?

Thanks. I just flashed the zip in the OP and it flashed fine. Signal seems a tad bit better. Wants to hold onto 3 HSPA bars instead of the usual 2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TuanVantu:
Desktop ODIN doesn't work for the I337M, I'm assuming you get the Auth error as the bootloader (I think) authenticates the modem being flashed.

Mobile ODIN from chainfire skips all this and flashes the modem just fine.

Anyways I had a build.prop set to i337 (AT&T) from a custom ROM. Mobile ODIN didn't let me flash, AT&T version not supported due to locked bootloader.

I simply change the build.prop model# back to i337M and it worked fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] twinge:
I too am having this issue. I have a SGH-I337M (from Fido/Rogers). I am running CWM and CM10.1 (the nightlies). It appears that maybe these phones cannot flash the TAR or BIN files with ODIN.

Maybe you guys can try extracting the modem.bin and flashing via Heimdall (http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/) ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TuanVantu:
CWM and Desktop ODIN modem flashing doesn't work on the i337M. I also have a Fido/Rogers unit.

Mobile ODIN will flash the modem without issue.

Other than that, the other alternative I can think of is to flash the full MG1 rom (assuming you can get root and recovery on it, I heard there were issues). Then flash your favourite custom ROM again (most don't install modems). The MG1 modem will stay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] twinge:
As per the page you linked Heimdall uses the same method to write as ODIN so I am assuming it will not work ("Heimdall uses the same protocol as Odin to interact with a device in download mode"). I think the error was from the phone side so I do not think changing the software on the PC side will affect it.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Oh! I did not realize CWM couldn't do modem's either. Since you have the same Model we do, just to check, you have tried Desktop Odin and CWM and they both fail to do modems and you have successfully used mobil Odin to flash a modem? Thanks,

Twinge
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TuanVantu:
Correct. Flashed the AWS tar without issue. No noticeable difference on my end because I already get full bars connection but it's nice to have the latest and the option to connect to Wind or Mobilicity networks if given the chance.

I did not flash the nonhlos.bin as I'm on the 4.3 Google Edition ROM and didn't want to overwrite whatever was there. I just extracted modem.bin and flashed to ODIN Mobile modem slot #2 per the OP's instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] turilo:
Anything special needed to be done if using the aws version?

Thank you TuanVantu! I will have to look into mobil odin as I have never used it before (on my previous GT-I9100 I used CWM for everything). Specifically if it can co-exist with CWM since I think I want to keep CWM since I use CM as my ROM of choice. I have only had my S4 a few days but I find with the modem I have now (MDJ, I think that is the one from the S4's Canadian launch) I get only one or two bars in a lot of places and sometimes drop to HSPA+. I am in downtown Toronto so that doesn't seem right to me. However, I have never owned an LTE device before this so I really have nothing compare with. Thanks again for your help!

Twinge
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TuanVantu:
I bought the full version to support the dev and it auto downloads a temporary flash kernel. The file stays on your sdcard but doesn't replace CWM. I also use CWM for everything, but I guess there's more restrictions in place these days to prevent you from screwing up your phone vs i9100.

I've since uninstalled mobile ODIN and deleted the flash kernel file in /sdcard. No ill effects. Will reinstall as needed.

Remember to hold down the power button as if to reboot when you see the regular green android screen. it will then reboot to the mobile odin blue android picture.
