Updating m919uvuamdl to latest modem and bootloader

I have recently been running the GPE lolipop. I really like it, but want to try the new modems out. I try to flash them and the newest bootloader, but I cant. I would assume that is because im on older bootloader. Is there a walkthrough on how to update this or is it even possible. Also my phone is tmobile branded, but i run on straight talk with at&t sim so if this would cause any issues let me know. Like I said all is good right now other than my battery being used up mostly by cell stanby which im hoping the new modems and bootloader may help with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Just to clarify that the cell stand by isn't killing your battery. It's just the way GPE reports the battery. I'm on latest bootloader and even I saw cell stand by. If you search in general section you'll find a method to update the modem on old boot loader. Just be sure to flash correct modem.

Please help! Noob here!

Im new to this root thing, I rooted my tmobile galaxy S4 about a week ago, the only app I used was freedom....Now I can't make or receive calls!! Can someone please help me???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OriginalGabriel:
Can you link to the method you used to root, and what S4 version you have?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] justinjimenez95:
didn't find the link but is called "Odin3-v3.07" and the version of my galaxy s4 is: SGH-M919
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OriginalGabriel:
Odin is a means of pushing files to your device; I'm assuming you pushed a recovery to your device, and then used the recovery to flash a root binary. Do you have any links to any of that?

Also, did you make a backup of your stock firmware as a failsafe?

Caller hears mic audio before callee answer phone.

I have three S4s, all on one t-mobile acct. When one S4 Calls the other, the caller can hear the callee's phone mic before the callee phone is answered. So even while the callee's phone is ringing, the mic is active. While this assists me in finding my wife's phone when she loses it (like when she left it next to the tv), it's a bit of a privacy issue. Hands-free is off. What other software settings can enable this?

Running 4.4.4, not rooted, stock everything.

This doesn't happen when calling from a landline, just from within our plan. Haven't been able to try this test from another t-mobile phone...

Really. I'm serious.

First smart phone ever

Hey guys,

I just got my first smartphone ever a few days ago, and I want to root it, so I'm a complete n00b here.

I'm wondering if the "Easy and Safe Root M919UVUAMDL T-Mobile Galaxy S4 OTA Update 4.2.2" by Neil Perez (can't post links yet) is the right instruction to follow.

In other words, does the following information indicate that I have the so-called "May 7th OTA?"

Model number: SGH-M919

Android version: 4.2.2

Baseband version: M919UVUAMDL

Kernel version:

3.4.0-453951

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Haven't used it, so I can't say if it would work, although it probably will... but you DO have the latest update: MDL. If it doesn't work, try using CF-Auto-Root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
Welcome to the Dark Side! We gots cookies! :D

I saw someone reply with the link to CF-Auto Root. I didn't use that method, but only because it didn't exist when I got my s4. Chainfire is an awesome dev with an amazing track record for rooting devices. I'd suggest trying that first, but that's only my 2 cents.

You need to flash a custom recovery before rooting, though. I prefer Clock Work Mod's recovery over TWRP. Koush has been perfecting his recovery for 8 years and is on the bleeding edge of Android device security as well. Below is a link to the thread with the CWM Recovery. Always ask questions before doing something you're unsure of. It's much easier to help before it is too late. :cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
CF-Auto-Root IS ChainFire's rooting method. :D And no, you don't need a custom recovery before using CF-Auto-Root. I believe it's the other way around; must be rooted to flash CWM/TWRP/whatever. The Odin flashable file will flash an included modified recovery that will then install the SuperSU binaries/apk then revert back to the stock recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
I know it's his method. That's why I name dropped. You don't need a custom recovery before rooting, but if you want to be safe and make a Nandroid beforehand it's a good idea. Especially for a n00b. Again, all of that was just my 2 cents mang! :highfive:

Here's a link to the root method I used. It's not as user friendly to someone totally unfamiliar with the process, but I wanted to share either way.

The goal is to be able to use any sim card in a galaxy s4 sgh-m919 running 4.3. I finally got it rooted, then downgraded the baseband (modem) to the 4.2.2 one but the menu selections 1-5 or however many doesn't show, just a bunch of all kinds of info.

Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mswal2846:
Wow, there's alot going on in your two sentences. Let's take them in pieces:

1. "The goal is to be able to use any sim card in a galaxy s4 sgh-m919" - this requires your phone to be unlocked by the company that produced the phone. I believe that m919's are T-Mobile devices, so you need to contact T-Mobile for an unlock code. Please note that this has nothing to do with rooting. You do not need to be rooted to become unlocked. You need a code that the phone will ask you for when you put in a non-T-Mobile SIM card. You will need to know the IMEI number .. should be printed on or in the phone. If T-Mobile won't give you the code, there are other companies that will provide it .... usually for a fee.

2. "running 4.3" - why 4.3? Is this the version that was already on your phone?

3. "finally got it rooted, then downgraded the baseband (modem to 4.2.2 one but the menu selections 1-5)" - why did you think you needed to downgrade the modem? Can you share a screenshot of the "selections 1-5" to which you're referring?

4. "I'm soo broke" - so what is broke? Does the phone not boot up? No WIFI? What's not working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I am dumbfounded by this.

If you had 3 cloned sims though all 3 phones would have the same number and would all ring at the same time hen one was called.

What happens when you call it from any other phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The unlock code is literally all he needs. Nothing else.

T mobile will give it easily as long as the device is paid for in full.

You will need a non t mobile sim inserted to prompt the unlock code dialog.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mswal2846:
Yup ... but I'm wondering if (s)he's gotten himself messed up by rooting and downgrading to 4.2.2, etc. So I'm just exploring if we need to help him get back to a working phone....

Well, to get the 1-5 menu when *#numbers are entered, had to flash the modem from 4.2.2, to do that It needed root, so did that and that, retried the *#numbers.....but stopped the whole thing and just flashed the 4.3 stock and just gona give the thing back to the customer. Its been all night literally and she wants it back. Am I the only one who's seen the method I was shooting for? Can I post the places where its at if its from another site?

Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

I like to NOT have to pay them billion dollar companies if I don't have to. I bust my a** for my money. Unlocking is done for free all over this place. There needs to be a site that u can give the exact details of ones particular wares n roms and versions and THEN a step by step read out of particular instructions. I'm so tired from this I'm starting to talk like I know this stuff like u guys do. Thanks for lookin out tho. And please, let me hear it, school me, ask me what's curious on ur minds.

Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The unlock code is free from t mobile, so long as the phone is paid for in full.

If it's not paid for in full and you have no intention of paying for the phone there is no point in unlocking it because tmobile will eventually just blacklist the imei on all networks for non payment.

The phone isn't new though. Odds are its paid off by now.

Literally just call them and ask for the unlock code.

What business are you in that a customer is brining you a phone for service?

Hi.

If I have Stock Android 4.2.2 rooted installed on my M919, do I need to upgrade to Android 4.3 Stock before flashing a custom 4.3 ROM? Is it possible to flash straight from 4.2.2 stock to a custom 4.3 rom without KNOX?

If it is possible would it also be possible to flash back to 4.2.2 stock as long as KNOX bootloader isn't installed?

Please read the flashing instructions in the ROM op.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
This has been answered but I got the impression from your follow-up message that you still need some clarification. The stock ROM on the T-Mobile GS4 uses Samsung Touchwiz and if you are using any custom ROM that is a tweaked stock/Touchwiz ROM you will not have to install Google apps separately. When using a non-Touchwiz ROM you will have to install Gapps but that should also be specified in the ROM author's thread. For any ROM you are considering, read the author's original post carefully because all instructions will be there or he/she will tell you where to find them.

If you install a stock 4.3 ROM it will convert the bootloader to Knox whether you install do a fresh install or use an OTA update. If you are still on 4.2.2 many of the ROMs you can find here at XDA will not change your bootloader or radio at all (in fact, if you do that you might want to also search for the threads that show you how to update to the latest radio while maintaining compatibility with the 4.2.2 MDL bootloader). In that case you could go back to 4.2.2 if you wanted. I tried both 4.3 and 4.4.2 on my phone and neither impressed me enough to keep. I went back to 4.2.2 where everything works just the way I want.

Good luck.

Problem with my Phone - no carrier signal on CM 11 higher than Snapshot M9

Hello everyone!

I have some trouble with my phone (carrier signal gets lost after phone goes to sleep) - Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (LTE).

Phone Info tells me:

GT-I9505

Device type: jfltexx/jflte

Original CSC: MAX

Bootloader: I9505XXUDMH7

Baseband: I9505XXUDMH7

If any other information is relevant - please tell me.

For the problem: This happens with CM 11 after snapshot M9, I installed M9 and that worked fine - updated to the latest monthly build and immediately the problem surfaced again. Latest nightly builds also bring no remedy for this.

I've wiped the entire phone several times and made clean rom (re)installs, so should also not be an issue with some interfering app.

I am not very satisfied with this situation, as people cannot call me and I have to trigger flightmode or fiddle with the carrier to get the signal back (calling then is no problem - but the signal is lost again afterwards).

I did not find any method to find infos about my modem version or csc - I read on other threads that modem problems could lead to this (but I am still in the dark how to extract that information).

In any case - if you have any ideas on what I could do - please tell me. I have CWM for recovery, so loading zip packages is working well.

Thanks in advance!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Frankenscript:
Glad you got it fixed, but if you flashed NK2 and it didn't fix it, the flash didn't take completely. Flashing firmware sometimes takes a couple times in a row with a battery pull in the middle to get all components updated.

When I wrote my first reply earlier today, I was on my phone and couldn't look up the right spelling of NON-HLOS.bin as that was my first thought, to have you flash the one that matches your bootloader.

Glad it worked out. As Spock said, we should have confidence that the universe will unfold as it should.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
If you don't care about Knox, then please upgrade to latest firmware first. NK2 is the latest firmware and you should be able to do it via OTA. After that use Odin to flag twrp 2.8.4.0 and then flash the custom ROM of your choice. You'll see the instructions to flash the ROM in the ROM thread itself. YouTube also has a lot of videos showing step by step instructions to flash a custom ROM with twrp for galaxy s4. You can flash any ROM from TMobile section as well as I9505 section because the hardware is same. All the best mate. Takes less than 15 mins once you have twrp.
