I have exatly the same problem if i flash a Verizon 4.4 Rom, but if i flash international rom to my device then flash verizon kernel on it there is no problem with hanging up the call.

I still couldnt find a solution for this on non-tw roms.

and it only works with CM11 roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbastats:
Which Verizon kernel are you using and where did you fond it? Which 4.4 ROM are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jjjameson:
This would be a really quick answer I hope. I'll msg you the details.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
lightweight confused

I noticed some modems (i've always knew them as radios from the HTC days) have 2 non halos, like the MJ7 Very bottom and than 2 up from it... Um yeah thats kinda where i'm getting lost? which one would i pick? Differences between 1545VRUEMJ7_modem.zip and I545OYUEMJ7_modem.zip? Someone help me on this I'm dying to use the thanks button:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
OYU is Google Edition I believe. VRU is the regular Verizon edition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
OYU is from the Developer Edition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Bleh, I'm having the same problem running CM11 and MDK nonhlos + MK2 modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
On CM11 it's safe to use the full MK2 package since it's based on MK2. Just remember there's issues with both builds for this month so make sure you're using 1/31.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Thanks! I'm running the CM11 snapshot from early January and the MK2 seems to be working OK in GSM mode with the exception of two things:

Can't answer any calls - they never even ring

Can't hangup any calls - need to switch to airplane mode to hangup

Haven't tried a nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
Thanks for the latest Dev modem, Surge!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] knock.back:
I'm on MDK, is there any reason I should not flash updated modems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
You want slower connections...

Give it a try, if you have issues, flash the non-thingy that matches Murder Death Kill bootloader.

Does no one else read MDK as Murder Death Kill?

This is probably a really stupid question, but where can you view which bootloader version you have? I know that I have an MDK bootloader since I have Loki TWRP running, but where can I visually see it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
You can visually see it by Odin'ing back to stock. People that are on higher bootloaders will never be able to Odin back to stock MDK.

Ok just double checking for here. I'm having issues on a mk2 based rom and dev said baseband not matching could be issue. Since I'm on a dev edition running mk2 rom it should be OK to flash the non-hlos + modem correct? I have flashed just the modem for now and waiting to see if it helps but I noticed baseband is still mdk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kidd_Funkadelic:
Please ignore

EDIT: Please ignore - there is an issue w/ the latest build of CM11. Glad it wasn't me :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50349901&postcount=1789

I need some guidance - I'm one of the early S4 owners that's LOKI'd w/ TWRP recovery. I've been running the MDK modem since I got it but decided a couple days ago to update it to take advantage of the faster LTE (Band 4?) if/when it's available. I flashed the most recent I545VRUEMK2 radio with no problem and have been running if for a few days.

I'm on the CM11 Nightly ROM and this morning tried to update the the most recent, the first attempt at flashing a ROM since updating the modem. After flashing I can't boot and instead get the Verizon error screen saying I have unauthorized software and to bring the phone to a VZW store.

I can still boot to recovery, and after reflashing the nightly I had been running previously was able to boot back up, but I was under the impression LOKI'd phones can use any of the modems and continue flashing ROMs.

What's going on here? Do I need to go back to MDK?

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Just had a thought - would the recovery version have anything to do with this? I know that the CM threads say that TWRP has compatibility issues and to use CWM, but I've never had an issue using TWRP when I was running the MDK modem. Does CWM handle post flash cleanup somehow to force ROM compatibility?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Does the modem's have anything to do with the wifi? I have been having wifi disconnects lately @ home on 2.4ghz wifi.. but no problems @ work which is 5ghz wifi, so I'm trying to figure out if its the newest modem I flashed not long ago or if it's just an weird problem with kitkat which I also switched to recently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
No the modems should have nothing to do with your issue. I've been on the latest modem for a while now and have flashed pretty much every rom on here without a problem.

I had a similar problem like you when I first got my mdk s4 ... I switched from twrp to Philz cwm recovery and haven't had an issue since. Can't say im 100% correct but its probably worth a shot to try. And if I'm not mistaken it happened with cm as well with my phone....

Excuse me for being n00b now, but i really need your help.

By any chance, on an international rom flashed in SafeStrap, can we flash an european modem?

My 4G provider has another band in use for 4G and i can not get it running with the US modem.

Can anyone provide a modem pack that i can use?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
I have the Verizon Galaxy S4 Developer's Edition, and I can't upgrade my modem. I'm using philz_touch_6.15.6-jflte (latest) recovery. I tried both the "I545OYUEMK2_modem.zip" and "I545VRUEMK2_modem.zip". Each one installed fine in recovery, said it was successful, and I rebooted. But it appears it hasn't updated. My "About Phone" and Samsung Phone Info app lists "I545OYUAMDK" as the baseband still.

I've been using a 4.2 based rom, so I haven't ever felt the need to upgrade my modem (good battery life, connection, etc). But now I'm on a 4.2 rom that requires MK2 for the data to function properly. Am I doing something wrong? I've checked the MD5s. I updated my recovery as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
Have you tried this? I have to do this to truly flash the modems successfully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
Yes, I've completely powered off and booted into recovery with the volume/home/power buttons (though I think the home button isn't actually necessary). Nothing changed. Does anyone have the ODIN tar files? I found some on another site, but it looks a little sketchy, plus it includes the NON-HLOS.bin. I understand I don't need to flash that, since I'm still on the MDK bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Unzip the OYUEMK2 modem zip and flash the modem.bin file found inside using Odin 3.09. Select CP then choose the modem.bin file I had you extract from the zip. Flashing that should work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
Thank you so much, man! That worked perfectly. I really appreciate all the work devs like you do to help people around here.

Texting Issue with CM 11.0 Nightly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
No, plus all of you reporting that issue seem to be on Cm, so my guess is its an issue with the build. Try flashing a cm build prior to when your issue started
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djdmbrwsk:
It just randomly started happening when I woke up, no changes the night before. Also tried the 10.2 stable with same issue. TW does seem to work...uhg. Anyone know of another good non-cm based ROM I could test? I feel like everyone bases of CM anymore...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djdmbrwsk:
Tried OctOs cause I believe its only gpe based and the issue was still there.

However, I just changed my network to "CDMA only" instead of "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" and after a restart my texts send reliably. Not sure what's going on with LTE but this seems to work for now...

I am on GOOGLE EDITION KOT49H ROM 4.4.2. On my Verizon Galaxy S4. Can I flash any of these modems? If so, which one is best. I am on ME7 currently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
From the rom's OP- "-LATEST MK2 Modem REQUIRED!!!! - I WILL NOT SUPPORT OLD MODEMS, GSM required a MKx modem so I have no doubts Verizon will need one too, all my testing as been with users on MK2"

So yeah, use MK2. The standard verizon version is VRUEMK2. (I used OYUEMK2, but that was because I have a developer's edition S4). I had the factory MDK installed at first, and it was having bad problems with signal. It couldn't even get 4G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trevoryour:
I too am curious about this. I am running a consumer GS4 with an unlocked bootloader but I don't know what version the bootloader is. Can I load the 1545OYUAMK2 or should I load the I545VRUEMK2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
So you have developer edition?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
There are no "Consumer" Verizon GS4 models with unlocked bootloaders. The only unlocked bootloader models are the developer editions.

(Note: you can't unlock the MDK bootloader, but you can work around it with Loki, so please don't reply that MDK's bootloader is unlocked.)

It's trivial to figure out what bootloader you have. Install "Phone INFO *Samsung*" or "Phone info" from the play store.

Once you're able to figure out what bootloader and build you actually have, you'll be able to tell what to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
In addition to what [MENTION=3940199]k1mu[/MENTION] said, you can also type *#1234# or *#12580*369# into the dialer and the see. In the pics attached, the AP value is my bootloader version while CP is my current modem version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Does that work on a stock phone without the extended dialer codes enabled?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Idk I assume so though. Hmm thats a good question. I might have to Odin restore later and if I do ill test it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I've unlocked the hidden menus by setting /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu to ON

That doesn't get overwritten with an ODIN reflash. Setting it to OFF then rebooting causes those codes to be ignored. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
lol I guess if you had never rooted before then you could always tell from the system settings > about > buiild version info, since in order for it to be manipulate you would need to be on a rom and/or be able to edit the build.prop both of which require root, so I guess that the build version info would be accurate then. But that sucks, would have been pretty nice to be able to know without root. I usually change the HiddenMenu option as well, but usually just only temporarily when I need it via echo ON >/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu

Thank you. I'm on HTC EVO LTE with Sprint. My brother however, is on Verizon with a Sammy GS4.

Trying to learn the different lingo. He desperately wants to root, because his stock phone/contacts app FC's when trying to dial out.

I got him rooted, but he has an MK2 Version (? I think) so the bootloader is, what we call "S-On".

It's a bit confusing, but trying to learn.

A few things I want to mention:

1. I don't require people to ask me permission to use anything ive written nor do I require credit. It goes against my belief of open source.

2. This is a general script and I dont consider it original anyways

3. This script however is specific to our sch-1545 device. If used on another device it may overwrite an important partition and cause a hard brick so be careful and know what you're doing if you plan on creating your own zip (also pay attention to where the modem is, in our case its mmcblk0p2)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
No, the newest by date is the developer edition OYUEMK2 modem (you can use this on retail S4's too) and the one before that is the retail VRUEMK2 modem. I updated the OP and listed the modems chronologically. The VRUDMG7 is AWS enabled though and its a release version Verizon didnt officially release for some reason or another. I've been testing it out for ~ the last week with no ill effects on speed/connection though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I just want to verify that I did this right! (I think I'm good since everything is working just fine lol)

I have the MDK baseband and I had flashed the "I545VRUEMK2_modem.zip" modem. After that, under settings, it now states that my baseband is MK2. However, after downloading this app here, it's verified that my bootloader is MDK and the baseband is MK2.

So, all in all, the end result is that the modem had just changed (which I had planned), despite the fact that it states that I am MK2 under settings.

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gordo2212:
You are correct. Baseband in settings has nothing to do with the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Surge or anyone that's " in the know" ...

I'm on Liquid Smooth 4.4 with MK2 baseband. . I wanted to see how my network speed and service was if I switched to another modem. So I flashed MDK modem only file figuring id start there and go up...

Well after flashing it my phone wouldn't boot past the Liquid Boot Animation screen. I tried everything from wiping caches.. To going back and flashing MK2 modem.. To dirty flashing Liquid again and still it wouldn't boot..

After a full wipe and reflash I'm back in business.

Just wondering what the deal here is!? I've flashed modems before in Philz and on SafeStrap ( TWRP ) with no issues. Liquid op I don't think States anything about being on a certain baseband to run their rom like I've seen some Sprint devs state in their rom threads.

Just wondering is all.. any insight is appreciated

Good deal man thanks. Have you noticed any difference in battery performance in your limited time running this modem??

Ive seen some on the Sprint forums flashing back to 4.3 modems due to battery drain. I thought my Sprint S4 was worse on the 4.4 modem myself but I fiddle around too much and flash too much to get a solid comparison.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
Just my preference but when it comes to the modem I want maximum performance with zero regard for the battery. (I underclock and undervolt the cpu but use the 4G data heavily.) Having said that, I haven't noticed any worse battery drain over the last few hrs. The data connection seems to be much better then the last few modems released in terms of both speed and smoothness / consistency. Granted, only a few hrs with it so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loonie01:
I got faster speeds with new modem. Not sure on battery life yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igacek:
I'm the opposite. Top 3 results are from the newest modem (NC2_), bottom 3 are from MK2_.

Igacek, your speeds are not good for either. Could just be poor location.

Yea I'm not actually worried to much myself as I have a 5200mah battery so I never need a charge even with performance profiles in KTweaker.

After the nandroid, I was still on the MK2 modem. So, I had flashed the MDK modem but the build number still indicates that it's ME7...?

Just wondering, how would I change back my build number to MDK? I get a notification indicating to use the stock charger and stuff
