Have had several reboots since installing NG6. Did not install and never have upgraded HLOS. Could that be an issue with this version, that I should upgrade HLOS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
I'm in the boondocks.

On MK2, I had 114 dB and 1 MB of download.

On NG6, I had 110 dB and 4 MB of download.

No reboots yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
NG6 bluetooth is still screwed up. When trying to play music it will work for half a second then the sound will come back and rinse and repeat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Will there be a Dev version ng6? Does it even matter? Im on dev nc5 seemed to work better for me then stock nc5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
No bluetooth issues yet with streaming music. No reboots since the original two I reported.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Just streamed a song in my car. No issues at all. I think it actually sounds better.

I think NG6 is miles better than NC5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
If anyone would like to see this in action I can try to take a video of it to show exactly what's happening.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
That could be a kernel thing. I have to change my kernel settings when streaming or bluetooth cuts out. I use KT's kernel and the conservative profile causes bluetooth to act up when the screen is off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
How would i go about doing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
Every kernel is slightly different, so it probably depends on the kernel your using. I'm assuming your using the one that ships with the rom? Maybe others can chime in if they aren't having bluetooth issues and if they are using the stock kernel. You can install KT's but there is no guarantee that's the issue, but just my experience with it and using a conservative profile.

Just flashed the new modem. Doesn't appear to enabled band 4 on its own unless Houston just hasn't had AWS enabled yet. Is there something else that would need to be done on the CM side too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Dammit, you dashed my hopes for Houston!

Oh well, haven't safe strapped yet so you saved me the trouble of doing all that to flash this.

MJ7

I'm on ss with me7. If I flash mj7 radio do I have to reflash me7 module again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igacek:
This may be a dumb question, but can I just flash the MJ7 .zip in TWRP to install the new modem? Or does it need to be flashed in ODIN?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Nope, flash away. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matt1733:
flashed the new modem here in Rhode Island and don't see any real difference doesn't look like AWS is up and running im my town yet!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Flashed mine in SafeStrap TWRP with no issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheCelt:
I hope this is not a dumb or already asked question (I searched and did not find anything).

I'm new to S4 coming from Gnex. Bought my phone prior to learning about this ME7 bootloader lockdown. I'm very familiar with flashing via TWRP/CWM and am getting used to ODIN.

My question, I am running rooted, stock ME7. Can I flash new modems/radios via ODIN or am I stuck and need to take the full OTA update?

TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
You can use safestrap recovery for me7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igacek:
Perfect, worked great. On Band 4 now and got 51mbps download, 18mbps upload. Seems to be a bit slower when you're not on Band 4 though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Yes you can flash the new radios. I've never used ODIN for this, I have safestrap installed on my ME7 build and use it's recovery (TWRP) to flash the radios.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheCelt:
Thanks Guys.

Then if I understand the process, I think I simply need to extract the modem.bin file to flash via ODIN.

kind of a follow up question....... with my current set-up (rooted, stock ME7, locked bootloader), I cannot flash kernels... right?

Again... appreciate the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Correct. Only Stock kernels or in the case of the Hyperdrive Rom w/ safestrap, you can flash the Stock Optimized Kernel. - no others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dougmod:
I want to clarify things here.

those numbers and codes are for samsung phones with touchwiz. the aosp people do not have those menus.

touchwiz guys can get to that menu, but anyone on AOSP might want to download PhoneInfo from the app store. It will take to you aosp hidden menu, but will not show you the band or let you force band 4. You can only force radio selection.

and per lynyrd65 post

I know this may have been answered in the past somewhere... but..

My current setup:

If I SafeSstrap flash the NC5 or NG6 modem.zip packages my wifi quits working... :(

Questions:

1. How do I get my phone updated to a modem package of my choice MK2, NC2 NC5, NG6 without loosing wifi connectivity?

Thanks for all the help guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hollywood67:
Got myself all tangled up. I want to go to NG6 and am safestrap ped. I don't mind using Odin or doing a factory reset to start clean. Advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hollywood67:
Where to go from here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] luke24:
Did you reflash your modules after you install the modem?

I flashed on SS with no problem. Try to flash your modules again after you install the modem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sczar:
I had this problem when I flashed HD19 for some reason the Wifi wont even turn on. Found a way that worked with my both S4.

I had to flash Gogolies Wifi Fix for NC2 through SS then Reboot. Wifi will work.

After that I downloaded Surge's NG6 Modem Flash then reboot.

Now I am on HD19 with working wifi and the latest NG6 Modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] illtww:
I did the same procedure as you also.. Still no wifi...

WHne you say "download" surges modem. You use ODIN or Safestrap to install the NG6 modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sczar:
Safestrap . Here

When you Flash the Gogolie wifi fix and do a full reboot. the wifi should work.

I forgot to mention you also have to Mount System in Safestrap before flashing the Gogolies Wifi Fix.

Hello I recently got s4 on mdk baseband. It has Twrp and slimkat running. What is the latest modem version that I should flash that would still let me retain my Twrp and slimkat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
You can flash any of the MODEMS ONLY packages, they would not interfere with TWRP or Slimkat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thorrules:
Thanks for the quick reply. If I find that nc6 is not good, can I flash back an older one?

Charging issues?

I'm on MDK and running C-rom, everything was fine on previous radios until I flashed NG6.

Now when my phone is plugged in to charge, it discharges to 2% then starts charging really slow, even if it is at 50~%. It is also happening to my roommates S4 which is 100% stock and on the ng6 radios too. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
Flash another modem, see if it still happens and let us know!! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anewday:
NG6 improved over NC5. Both download and upload speeds increased and more consistent now. Thanks so much Surge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoulderGeek:
I'm running the Full Wipe NC5 package via Odin on MK2 baseband. Currently I have also installed (via SafeStrap) the NG6 modems package, as well. My SMS messages fail to send out of Hangouts.

Anyone else seen or resolved similar on NC5?

Nevermind. Turns out if only happens when sending to AT&T via Hangouts. SMS to VZW works fine. So, must not be my phone.

Just tested this modem outside the Lincoln Tunnel, and the speeds were terrible. I'll test it again near my house in an hour or so and see if it's just an overloaded area (likely).

EDIT - Yep. The area sucked. Got a test to give 55/25 about 2-3 miles away in Secaucus, NJ. Still going to compare to my usual awesome speeds near my house later and see if there's any difference at all.

You may want to experiment with setting the WiFi frequency band to 2.4Ghz only (some have problems with auto and 5.0Ghz) or try different modem only zips. Some modems seem to work better than others for different users.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Can you reword your question? I don't understand it.

The modems are in the order they were released, which is also alphabetical order... And the date of the last one is in the title (December 3rd).

If you're asking for when they'll be released, there's no way of knowing. He tries to get them as soon as the updates hit. Only Verizon and Samsung know when they'll be released.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
So I never post anything about my battery life because I understand that there's many variables that affect my battery.

But....

I flashed the NK1 modem on my NC5 S4, with a MK2 bootloader... And my battery like Sucks like it never has before. My LTE speed are much, much faster. But my battery is killing 6% per hours with the phone in sleep mode. I go through 15% per hour with daily use.

I don't know if the mismatched Radios/Software/Bootloader is the issue, but it did the same thing with the NC5 radios/NC5 software/MK2 bootloader.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparky697:
What did you have last that had good bat life? Maybe flash that back and see if it is still as good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
I did. I flashed the MK2 modem back.

So now I'm running the MK2 bootloader, NC5 software, & MK2 modems.

I'm guessing that running the MK2 bootloader with NK1 modems is the issue? Maybe the conflict is draining the battery?

But my radios and wifi worked perfectly. Who knows?

Maybe I need to upgrade my software to NK1 all together. But I'm kinda of worried about NK1's battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackops11252:
How can you have mk2 bootloader & have NC5 software? The only things that can mismatch is the modems. For example I have NC5 bootloader & software but MDK MODEM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Don't believe that's correct. I've been running NC5 for sometime now since Gigilie put out the package and instructions for upgrading without changing your bootloader.

Considering how my phone reacted when I flashed the NC5 and NK1 radios, I'm pretty sure it was the other way around. Bootloaders and radio mismatch is the conflict.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Its probably actually that your non-hlos and modem are reacting badly. (Do not flash the NK1 non-hlos though! You have to have the NK1 BL for that to work.)

I personally would recommend using an NC5 (just flash the tar in Odin) base. Then root with towelroot and change selinux to permissive, then install safestrap.

From safestrap install the NK1 modem.

(I'd also personally reccomend the Google Edition Pure Nexus ROM over at the ATT S4 forums. It runs faster and os way more stable than any touchwiz stuff I've messed with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
I'm on NC5 now, but I see what your saying, install the full NC5 with NC5 BL as well. But I'm probably just going to do the full NK1 install, BL, modems all. Then Root from there.

I've been holding on to the MK2 bootloader for too long hoping the bootloader unlock would come one day. Time too move on and accept Root only on NK1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Cool. Just to let you know, NK1 has an issue with SELinix set to permissive (Its almost impossible). And most custom Roms aren't built with NK1 as a base, almost all are NC5.

While NK1 will work, for wifi\Data issues, you may and probably will be the first person in the territory. If you choose to do so, be sue to post your findings! Good luck.

Plus if you go to NK1, you can always directly downgrade to NG6 or NC5 at a whim through Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Oh... Didn't know the SELinux issue.. Might have to hold go to NC5/NC6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Actually NG6 introduces the issue, take a read through the NK1 Root thread, to root it, you can do a kernel switch (works on very few devices), or you can upgrade to NK1 (boot loader a and all from NC5 W/ safestrap via Munoz_ris method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the SELinux setting only necessary if you were flashing non-HLOS?

That's what was necessary to make the wifi toggle again. I actually didn't have to change SELinux when thee was no conflict with the radios.

So, if I went straight to NK1, bootloader, radios, software and all, why would SELinux be necessary?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
The biggest reason I went back to nc5 was I couldn't get sdcard permissions to work all the time. Safestrap I think had some issues with se status also

Sent from S4 using the worst jacked up version of Tapatalk to date
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
To have Root apps work (fully) and have safestrap, you must have permissive status last o checked. To get permissive on NK1, you must be on an NC5 base, and run muniz_ri s updater zip through safestrap.

I may be wrong, muniz may have gotten safestrap working with selinux on enforcing, but even then, many root apps (XPosed) have issues with SELinux enforcing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
mine is set to enforcing and I don't have a issue with safestrap or xposed wanam works fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
It isn't all of xposed. Google it. Certain modules and many root appd will not work with enforcing. Plus if you flash a Google edition Tom (for safestrap), om enforcing it will be horrible with many app crashes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
if the module needs kernel hooks ofc it will crash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparky697:
OK guys I'm having a problem. Baseband seems to have gotten jacked up. I now have an unknown baseband and no cell reception. Tried flashing modems and no help. I think I'm gonna try the non holos file. As i understand it I'd need to use the mdk file since that is what my boot loader is correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I've had a couple ROMs of the International flavor do this to me before as well. Only thing I was able to do to get it fixed was to Odin back to NC5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparky697:
I think its actually my efs file. I have it backed up somewhere and am trying to find it to restore it and see what happens.

I am in the same boat.. I want to take advantage of the XLTE that has come to our area and was just double checking if this is the correct file to flash.

Original Rooted Verizon S4 MDK

Should I Flash...

MD5:673e5e93600be9ff5a745f4dcf4da970
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You both need the MDK nonhlos to stay. If you have not flashed a modem flash any MODEM ONLY zip. I am running CM12 and have had very good results with the NK1 modem. If you have flashed any nonhlos package later than MDK, flash the MDK nonhlos zip first, then flash the NK1 modem afterwards. The nonhlos should match your bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] masters:
So I am on original MDK Stock Rooted S4 . So, flash MDK nonhlos first then flash the FNK1? (files listed below) or should they both be nonhlos?

What is nonhlos?

And since I'm just double checking, if I needed to return to mdk if something doesn't work, I can flash Retail Modem MDK in the OP list.

I545VRUAMDK_modem_apnhlos.zip

MD5:f6e56a7b3a0b3e9a1e8c3baa0b69c6e7

1545VRUFNK1_modem.zip

Hoping to take advantage of the XLTE in the area, or any other advancements in the modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
If you have never flashed a modem package all you need is the NK1 modem only zip. Flashing ROMs and kernels does not change the modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PurdueLumberjack:
I've seen people with strong preferences between the retail NK1 and the developer NC5. Can anyone speak to the real difference between these two? Obviously NK1 is a more recent iteration, but I'm curious as to whether the developer aspect holds some merit of its own.
