Yeah, Followed them all. Might be my Virtual Machine. Sometimes my security settings on things interfere with normal operation. I was on V8 and since the start. But, I have to test some new soft and they needed a 4.3/4.4 platform. .. So i made it happen.

You guys who broke 4g should odin the stock 4.2 MDL image

Now I'm curious how common this problem is :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] skygear:
I was not able to Odin anything successfully with the exception of recoveries. Mobil Odin worked like a charm once I restored a 4.2.2 backup I had in TWRP. All is good now.

Mobil Odin settings are as follows.

1. Install MO

2. Accept the root request

3. Follow the warning about the green and blue android.

4. Click OK for it to DL the flashing kernel

5. Select modem and choose the .tar file

6. Select the modem #2 and the .bin

7. Scroll down and flash firmware

8. It will reboot into download mode with the green android

9. Hold power til it shuts off

10. Give it a moment and it will power up into the Mobil Odin kernel with the blue android

11. It will reboot when done successfully

12. You can either let it boot and check that it flashed OK... Or just hold the volume up key to get into recovery

13. Now you can either restore back to à 4.3/4.4/4.4.1, or flash the ROM of your choice.

Hey is that the link in the beginning of this thread or something different? I'd like to try this method and see if I can get my 4g/LTE back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
It's not in this thread. The website that usually hosts stock images seems to have lost all their files so you'll have to find it somewhere else. This is the usual site

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-M919

Note you could odin their MK2 link but it will give u knox which some people dont want. I think its ok, yet im avoiding it myself just in case :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fbueller:
Quick question - I came from MDL and just upgraded to jovy's 4.3. I'm still on the MDL bootloader. Phone is working fine, data is good and baseband is still listed as MDL in settings. However, when I'm on a call I notice the slash/circle on the top where the 4G symbol usually is. In other words, no data access while on a call.

Is that what everyone means by data dropping? Should I just flash modem.bin and that'll take care of it?

Thanks for any help...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] didadi:
I tried to install the 2 files that was mentioned in post#1 and using twrp installed the 4.3 Deodex slim. Still the setting shows me

MK2 baseband. What am doing wrong? ODIN says successful. I think I am doing is right. ( Wondering if this is some user error?) :)

I have MK2 with 4.3 IOKP to start with with twrp. No sound whatsoever!.

I ODIN'ed 2 files as said above (In D/L mode)..and

did twrp, installed 4.3 Deodex ROM but no luck. :( my S4 is unusable at this state.

Can you guys please help what am I doing wrong?

What is the MD5 of the modem.bin file from someone who has flashed it successfully?

-chlor3

I have read as long as they are 4.3 or 4.4 (I would steer clear of anything that didn't explicitly say KNOX free however.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] natan:
I am currently on Wicked v8 ROM and am trying to upgrade my baseband to MK2 so that I can upgrade to Wicked 9 (4.3 base). I have downloaded the ZIP file from the OP and have used ODIN to flash modem.bin. Upon rebooting my baseband stills says MDL and not MK2. I have tried falshing several time but the baseband still says MDL in the About screen. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
You have to flash it atleast twice in most cases for the MK2 to stick.

That matches mine (and it worked):

I started on a rooted MDL bootloader/modem/baseband running darthstalker 4.3 and only flashed the MK2 modem using odin(PC):

Notes:

i started odin first,

then put the phone in download mode using the volume down+power+home button combo,

then I plugged in the phone,

unchecked auto-reboot and flashed only the MK2 modem,

I waited ~2 minutes after the flash to unplug the phone and manually power cycle by holding down the power button.

This was done on a US T-mobile sgh-m919.

It worked the first time.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Thanks for the great guide here. I have a question, so I tried Android 4.4 KitKat using Mr.Virginia's ROM and Danvdh's ROM, but I think I've been experiencing some random missed call/text signal issues when I flashed the new 4.3 MK2 modem.bin in this thread.

Now, I want to go back to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Just making sure, if I want to do this, in the first post it says just follow steps 1 through 4, right? (Basically I want to confirm that doing this reverts back my baseband/radio/modem to exactly as how it was before I did steps 1 to 7. Is this correct?)

Thank you so much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiamatsu:
To revert back to MDL (4.2.2) modem, yes, just do steps 1-4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Thanks for the help. When I just tried this, I went to settings -> about phone, and under Baseband version it is still showing up as M919UVUEMK2. Isn't this suppose to revert back to UVUMDL?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiamatsu:
That's weird, did you make sure auto-reboot wasn't ticked?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Netuser:
Anyone can help about this please ?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Yes. I pulled the battery out after Odin said it successfully flashed.

Also, when I'm in Odin mode, it says write protection enabled. Does that have anything to do with it?

Also, in the Odin thread it says to wipe data in recovery if I'm having any issues. Do you think wiping data could fix it? Wiping data means I lose my ROM and have to re install it, right?

Thanks.

hi,sorry for the nood question i'm on wicked 9.1 ROM,with baseband MK2 (odin modem.bin) my phone shows 4G/LTE now do I need to odin something else to get the full LTE? so confuse now.....how I know bootloader i'm? I was on wicked 4.2.2 before,only thing I did was to flash wicked 9.1 and odin modem.bin(so my baseband shows MK2) any Info will be appreciated.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tak23:
confused a bit?

I know this might be a stupid question but I flashed the MK2 baseband for 4.2.2 on tmobile now sometimes my signal drops when I switch it to gsm so should I switch it to back to mdl ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
If you are not having any issues, then the MK2 modem will not provide any noticeable difference. Stick with MDL.

I could be wrong but I believe that is only an icon difference. Check in your settings, more, about device, status to make sure you are on full LTE. And yes, you are on MDL bootloader with MK2 baseband. You can go into download mode and see if you have KNOX. If you don't, you are on 4.2.2 MDL. You can only flash the 4.3 modem on the MDL bootloader, you can't in a KNOX bootloader. So you are on 4.2.2 MDL bootloader and MK2 baseband ;)

This is a well known problem. The solution is to simply flash the 4.3 MK2 modem again. It will fix any signal issues you are having. Simply Odin (use the Phone slot instead of PDA) or MobileOdin (use modem#2 slot) to flash the 4.3 modem. Search for "4.3 modem" and you will find it. If it still doesn't fix it, then check your APN settings to make sure they are correct. If it still fails, go back to MDL baseband. You are only supposed to flash the 4.3 MK2 baseband when you are having issues with MDL. It is not a requirement when you go to 4.3 or 4.4. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c_brown93:
I am running AOSP 4.4.2 on M919 with MDL bootloader and did this method to get MK2 modem. Updated modem and everything seems to work fine. No data drops on calls or screen off, etc. Only issue is when on LTE sometimes my signal goes from 3-4 bars down to 1 bar and back up and down. Any idea why or way to fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
How frequently does this occur, just to get an idea?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c_brown93:
ALOT on LTE.

I reflashed MK2 modem as well. Still same thing.

Since I could care a less about warranty, think I should update to 4.3 bootloader MK2 update so I can use MK2 LTE radio as well and see if that fixes it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Wish I could be of more help since up to this point the only solutions were to flash the MK2 modem or to check the APN settings. If it is happening as frequently as you stated, then I would downgrade back to the MDL modem and play around and attempt another MK2 flash. If all else fails, do a stock 4.3 FW update. I've used 4.3 and 4.4 and was lucky I didn't have to flash the MK2 modem. Although, I didn't like TMO 4.3 or 4.4.2 since several programs and xposed modules didn't function as needed so I had the luxury of downgrading to 4.2.2. Report back! :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] amchandr:
I am on my UVUAMDL stock rom and I tried flashing MK2 modem.bin, but its not going through ODIN.

I am getting failure message in ODIN.

I followed the exact instructions specified by OP. I want to either flash Google Edition 4.4.2 or the 4.3 Knox Free stock rom. I am unable to proceed further. Can some one help me please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] amchandr:
I got the issue. Earlier I had renamed the MK2 "modem.bin" to "LTE_modem.bin", hence could not flash it. I have corrected it now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
From what you're describing, it sounds like you need to flash the MK2 NON-HLOS.BIN file. This file is what drives the LTE signals. But before you flash this file, consider this warning:

If you flash the MK2 NON-HLOS.BIN file, it will more than likely fix your LTE signal issues. But this file contains an element of KNOX. As a result, once you flash this file, you will not be able to downgrade to MDL modem again. However, as long as you don't have the KNOX bootloader, you will not be affected by KNOX.

Unzip this file and use odin to flash it. As always here on XDA, flash this file at your own risk!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] felipehso:
I did the flash and data is working fine. Thanks.

However the GPS isnt working, and I dont know much about this, but does it has something to do with the GPS or it's the ROM?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aryonoco:
Having a strange problem with my HTC One (m7) where adb works fine and can even reboot to bootloader, but fastboot doesn't see the device.

My HTC One is S-Off and rooted and unlocked. Running Android Revolution HD 31.5 (JB 4.3) and my current recovery is TWRP.

The computer is running Windows 8.1 x64.

I've got the latest Android SDK installed, and can run both adb and fastboot from command prompt with no problem.

I've got the latest HTC Sync manager installed so the drivers should be there as well.

adb works fine, I can issue "adb devices" and it shows my device and serial number and I can do all other things with adb as well (so no issue with USB cable or port either).

I can boot to bootloader with "adb reboot bootoader" and when I'm there it shows "Fastboot USB" so that looks ok as well.

But fastboot doesn't see the device. "fastboot devices" returns nothing.

I've tried searching the forums and googling and everything, but can't find anything. I'm at my wits' end. Any help greatly appreciated.

That is the problem mate

google: fastboot windows 8.1 and you will find your answer im sure.

You were indeed correct, and I was obviously googling for the wrong thing. I just didn't think the 8.1 update would have broken that...

Anyway, for the record, this guide helped me fix it by replacing Microsoft's USB drivers with Intel's. http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/

Can anyone confirm or not if the crap WiFi strength on nexus 10s is an acknowledged fact? I have seen some say it is, yet still see other comments praising the devices WiFi saying it is stronger than ipones etc.

This is my second N10, I sent the first back due to WiFi performance and I believed it to be defective. My second devices arrival has suggested otherwise as I have noticed no improvement.... Am I just really unlucky?

On my home network, every other device has ho WiFi issues, but my n10 struggles! It seems to sho a decent signal strength in the WiFilist in settings, but a low strength in the top right corner.... Can anyone advise? I get similar strength issues on other networks (public and at friends houses. SO frustrating not being able to perform one of the most basic functions on a £300+ device). Was hoping 4.3/4 upgrades would help- nothing.

Should I get a third nexus sent out? Is this down to poor quality components? Anyone having same issues?

Thanks!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dale M:
My N10 seems to be at par or a bit better than my better halfs Ipad. Taking both tablets and going for a walk out in back (acreage), in the outbuildings, and near fences, the signal strength and ability to connect to my router and see other routers was actually a touch better with the N10.

When first getting the N10, it did seem to drop the wifi signal, but replacing the el cheapo several year old router with a newer medium price router cured that issue.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
The Google Nexus 10 as well as the Amazon Kindle HDX are two of the few devices that actually support MIMO (multiple input multiple output) wireless.

This typically allows for very solid and swift wireless performance.

I suspect that software updates may have had some impact on the Wireless functionality of the Nexus 10, but that is also in combination with some types of access points, so it varies to each customer.

Some places I get really terrible wireless, but at both my work and at home, it performs extremely well.

Hopefully a future KitKat patch will address the wireless more. I notice that new binaries are included in KitKat pertaining to both wireless and Bluetooth for the N10.

Hello, I just became an owner of a Nexus 10. when I first time connect to my BSNL Teracom wifi router it is not connected. it is always showing connecting or obtaining IP address...

It connected through my S3 Hotspot but not through teracom router :(

I wake up in the morning and just press again the connect button. Bingo...it is connected..!!! Not understand why it is behaving like this. I am not done any changes in routers settings also. Is it not connecting b'coz the routers frequency mismatch or anything else ?? After once I switch off and on the router the same problem happens :(

all my phones including a Samsung s3, tab neo and also my laptop all are switches automatically connected to the wifi router.

Please help.

I have owned my N10 for over a year. The WIFI signal strength is good, but I often get some lag issues, which ended up being my router.

Hello again, guys. I had just sold my ZTE Majesty for a tablet. It's brand new that I got off of Amazon. It was only like 100 dollars or so. But here is my problem... I can't get this to root at all. Every application acts as if it isn't an Android device. I can't connect it to my PC because there isn't a way to view the files from the Tablet to the PC.

I've tried zRoot, Poot, Spaarkyroot, Framaroot, but I couldn't get any of those to work. And like I said, I can't do PC to Tablet connection (or at least I don't know how, there might be a way.)

Thanks for the help, guys! And good luck trying to root the ZTE Majesty!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] bfettd:
I'm not sure I get glass protectors anymore. I used to be a die-hard convert (I wouldn't even use the phone or pull off the factory cover until I had my protector ready) - but with gorilla glass being so resilient, unless you've got an extreme case they seem unnecessary and sometimes interfere (yellowing, distorted vision if you use polarized sunglasses, etc).

The issue really is that these are edge-to-edge so if you drop it, even with one of these on you won't prevent a crack (unless the fall is perfectly level) regardless of the hardness rating. It's the corners and sides you want to protect.

--Dan
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OregonLawyer:
Dan, it's the smoothness/feel of glass that we adore while still protecting the original screen. If you don't care about the feel you might as well get a $10 screen protector.

If I accidentally put my phone in my keys pocket or slide the phone face down on a rough surface I'd rather easily replace a $30-$40 screen protector than spending a considerable amount of money to replace the panel/glass.
