Modem or firmware only will be fine root stays your welcome good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kjc99:
From what I remember firmware only (bootloader+modem) will not loss root but the full stock tar will lose root

guys mobile odin does not work nor will recovery.. there is write protection in place on newer samsungs note3 and s5 to be exact that stop u from writing to anything but system,data,cache you need to use odin on the computer v3.09 and best way to be guaranteed a succesful flash is power off phone. then boot into download mode via key combo and then flash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Don't forget the 10-second battery pull. That seems to be the key for success.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dweet:
Wondering if I can get some help..I just tried flashing the ng4 modem but my device still says ng3.. any ideas? I am running stock rooted ng3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Read the above post.

EDIT: Sorry, I should clarify. Shut down, pull the battery for 10 seconds, then put it in and do the Home/Power/VolumeDown combo to boot into download mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dweet:
Thanks, got it! Quick question... any reason the battery method works? I never heard of it lol thats why i ask.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Probably because it's coming from a full power-off rather than a reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
Yeah it's kinda finicky. The modem/radio sticking is hit or miss while powering into download mode but 100% success rate when you pull the battery and do it manually with the buttons. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] defvayne:
Mobile odin full tar and injected root. Success.

I flashed the old modem thru mobile odin but baseband still showing E5?

There it is tmobile has made it official I personally haven't had big issues http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...e-air-update-halted-data-speed-bug-suspected/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] raw2000j:
Good I hope they fix that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
You have to use PC for it to stick.

For anyone having issues with the NCH modem not sticking after flash, you have to fully power down and battery pull like beans mentioned in his other thread. I tried 2 times and it didnt stick. pulled battery then it worked. Glad to be at full LTE speeds. Thanks Beans!:good:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] culson_35:
I use Odin ,flash modem but not see...the rom I use now is alliance v3

Alliance 4.4.2 S5 (SM-G900T)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
You might have some issues there as Alliance V3 is off a totally different base. Were you having data issues with Alliance V3? If you are, I would check APN settings and make sure your using the LTE settings. I was on Alliance v2 prior to Beans G900T version and I was getting up to 70Mb downloads.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dr. Fed:
Hi, just wanted to clarify.

Regarding the Odin-flashables: Since these are "retail stock" packages, they won't trip Knox/modified flash status?

Regarding the zip packages: since they are also "retail stock", they can be flashed in stock recovery, or is custom recovery required?

TIA

thanks Philliman for the answer

Slower downloads in wifi or 4gLte?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] casonswag:
Are the zips gonna be up soon?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dnsmo:
i flashed the firmware and everyone said fine in Odin but once i reboot the phone it still said the nch on the baseband. I did the remove battery and reboot method also but no luck. any idea?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Slicktune:
DOES THIS SLOW DOWN WIFI OR NOT?!?!?! CAN SOMEONE ANSWER? everyone is just throwing words around about downloads are slow, slow where?? 4g Lte or WIFI???

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dnsmo:
i don't think it slow down wifi. only effect the mobile data. correct me if I am wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Slicktune:
Thanks a bunch! I really don't care about mobile data, i want a fast phone, if i want fast downloads ill just use the wifi in my job and wifi in my home... Done! Why is everyone complaining about mobile date, for god sakes its making the phone much faster, there are wifi hotspots almost everywhere starbucks, dunkin donuts, Mc Donalds, wendys, restaurants, offices.. I mean damn i thought it was worse, i thought it was making wifi all together slow... And im here holding back on this damn update... Jesus... Again thanks a bunch!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
I second that this phone flies now after the update my lte speeds are down but not 1mb like others have been reporting but this has been a solid update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dnsmo:
just tried again with odin and everything said okay but once reboot the baseband still said anch not ne5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
Yes it was only mobile data. alot of times i get better speeds on mobile versus wifi. Next time, just try it out. If somethings wrong, restore from backup. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] philliman:
I need my mobile data to be fast. It's what I pay for and I also have wifi at home and work, but when I'm not on wifi like out somewhere and wanna use data I want speed too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Quickvic30:
I didn't lose root when I flashed the firmware and modem only tars, I did come from NG3 though not ne6 or nf6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] culson_35:
I use in my S5 a CM11 I can flash modem or firmware too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, it's the same process as if you were on TouchWiz still. Just shut down, pull the battery for 10 seconds, then put it in and reboot into downloader mode by holding Home + Vol Down + Power, then tap Vol Up when you see the prompt. Plug it in and flash away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] josepr2012:
So this is how it should look after install NG3 firmware and modem ?

S5 Powered By Alliance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
Would you please clarify the statement that mobile odin nor recovery will work on the S5.

If I use mobile odin it will or could cause a problem and the same is with Philz Recovery. I can not count on the backups that I made will be working as with prior Samsung products?

No recovery will work as a total backup and does this include TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Yes, everything should be NG3 if successfully done.

No, he meant that flashing the modem with Mobile Odin or recovery is impossible. The only way to properly update your firmware and modem is with Odin 3.09 on your PC. Recovery is not affected. Backing up your nandroid still works. You just can't flash a modem zip in recovery, that's all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] josepr2012:
Dont know why people having many problems following OP instructions...I did and It stick at first try without issues....:rolleyes:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
Thanks for the reply. Then I can flash a stock tar file with mobile Odin and still get root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] LolVersatile:
Hi, I was wondering if you can clarify this for me. Does the "baseband version" = the firmware version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
No, I don't think you can flash the stock tar with Mobile Odin. And you will lose root.

Baseband = Modem version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] middleearth1010:
Is it safe to flash ng4 over alliance rom ng3? What are the improvements?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
So if I can't flash a tar file, then like using CCM , the file for mobile Odin must be a zip file? 2ndly, the mobile Odin can be set to root while flashing, is this correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Mobile Odin only works with firmware-only zips. You might as well flash everything from your PC.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
Thanks for the reply, but the only this that I have gotten out of all of this is to stay with the PC and CWM and forget about Mobile Odin, when I need it I will use the PC Odin.

How can I do for flash modem whit out lost root ?

I can do whit mobile odin ?

How ?

You have to flash modem with Pc Odin... It's the only way... It will not unroot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] josepr2012:
I have seen some people using NG4 modem qith NG3 firmware... Any advantage or benefit doing that?

S5 Powered By Alliance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
None that I know of. Depends on the ROM you're running. It is highly recommended that you flash a ROM based on your current firmware, so if you have NG4, use an NG4 ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] esjames:
I'm having an incredible duh moment right now......

Using odin v3.09, i use the PDA to flash modems right? Or should i be using odin v3.185?

I been accustomed to zip files on the S3 device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
If you're using 3.09, there isn't a PDA button. There's the AP button, which works for me, though none of the others ever light up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] esjames:
My mistake, I currently have 3.04 on my PC.

v3.09 requires you to select CP for modem files.

i flash from ng3 TO NG4 THIS

now i have ng4 whit root but baseband dont change

later

i flash onlymodem ng4 whit odinPC and i stay on ng3

why? please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kjc99:
You have to completely power off the device then go in to download mode... People also recommend power off then pull battery 10 seconds.. Put battery back in then hold power+home +volume down to enter download mode.... Then flash modem it should stick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] carvajaljn:
not found :( I did what you said and still the same baseband :(

i flash whit odin 3.09 and 3.07
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kjc99:
Maybe bad modem download.... You could try same directions and flash the full stock again... It won't wipe your phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] carvajaljn:
i will try all again, tanks, i will download all files and flash again tnks:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Not quite. AP is the only button that lights up for me but it flashes both firmware and modem just fine. Weird.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Darkness30XX:
Ok. So. I'm trying to come from NE6 to NG4 and my baseband isn't changing. I do a battery pull and boot into Download mode then run Odin. After reboot, no change. Tried this on Odin 3.09 and 3.07. I'm on XtreStoLite 1.3.5a which uses NG4 build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Pull the battery for at least ten seconds, then put it in and boot straight into download mode. Then flash again. The battery pull seems to be the key.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Darkness30XX:
Normally, you'd be right, but I did the battery pull for 10 seconds (twice) and it didn't change.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
That's odd. Are you booting using the Home+VolDown+Power key combination or from the power menu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Darkness30XX:
With the button combo. I pull the battery, boot into Download Mode, flash with Odin, restart. Nothing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
I've had times where it didn't stick even after doing that, but more than three times is kind of rare for me. I would say download the file again but Odin would tell you if it's bad or not. Maybe try another version of Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Darkness30XX:
I tried 3.09 and 3.07. Same deal. Is there something in Odin that needs to be changed from the default?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuyInDogSuit:
Nope, don't change any of the settings. Try this one:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Darkness30XX:
Tried it. Nothing. Go through the EXACT steps to do this because there has to be something I'm doing wrong. I've done it before but I don't know why it's not working now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
I'm not sure why there are so many issues? The Odin version shouldn't matter.. Make sure you are pulling the battery to reboot it. ALWAYS right-click and run as administrator and you can leave the setting how they are, it doesn't matter if it reboots or not but I have mine set to reboot automatically. I went back to NE6 because my signal was terrible but every area is different..Good luck :good:

Oh, it does? Maybe it just doesn't display the icon.

No, T-Mobile added in VoLTE a few updates back. It's not that new, it's been a few months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
Yeah the last 3 months tmobile has been releasing updates the latest is nh5 right now you can use kies or Odin then re root or we have to wait until bean or someone can upload the modem and baseband to flash with Odin or you can use one other rom that has been updated but we should get 4.4.4 soon

Anyone have a link to Stock TAR for NH5? Sammobile is just... well slow..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] PorchSong:
You can download it yourself. Use Kies from Samsung. It will prompt you for a firmware update. Start it and it will download the entire 2.2G update.

While it is downloading goto your:

/users/username/appdata/local/temp/

Then look for a directory that has random letters but ends with .tmp.zipfolder. The file will be in there.

Go here for explicit instructions for catching the file befor Kies installs the update and deletes it upon completion:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-y/458795-how-backup-firmware-kies-upgrade-process.html

Then you will have your own copy.

Footnote: Copy the file as Kies is UPDATING your phone, NOT while it is downloading. You will have plenty of time during the update process, but you do have to sit around and watch the whole process so Kies doesn't update and delete file while you are gone. Because once updated you can not start the process again whithout reverting. Just have the directory open and ready to go.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevey500:
This may be a n00b question here; if I strike a nerve, ignore me and move on.

My S5 is running baseband NCH. I'd like to upgrade the modem.

I have TWRP recovery installed and running cyanogenmod 11 unofficial with the rom's included kernel.

I'd like to upgrade to the latest modem... do I need to flash the latest firmware as well, or is firmware only part of samsung stock rom? I do not have stock-rom at all. I have no idea if the firmware files have anything to do with the phone's current rom or not.

Appreciate the input.

Coming from a galaxy S4 that I used to flash modem files without an issue at all. I want to see if there are battery efficiency changes since NCH firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KingVeto:
Hey man. Firmware will update your modem, and baseband and basic functioning of your phone.. . It isn't dependent on the rom you are running. However newer firmware will feature updates and improvements only to stock or stock-based roms. For example most of the recent updates have dealt with VoLTE improvements. CyanogenMod doesn't have those feature. If you are using a stock-based ROM (Alliance, omega, etc) you'll see some updates but not all if the rom itself isn't based on the newest firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Squirrels:
You should be able to open the .tar.md5 in 7zip and take the bins right out. Should be able to ignore the error about the end of file, that is just the extra md5 info blowing it up supposedly.

I have seen a user report worse data speeds. Just anecdotal...but I'm using NG4 and the AICP ROM over on the International unified development thread and get killer speeds.

Edit: This is in Las Vegas....Icon was not set at time to say LTE...obviously it is LTE :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] crazyc78:
I started having really slower speeds on NG4. All of the recent basebands haven't really shown me much as far as speed is concerned. I was able to get a copy of the new one and so far it's so-so. I'm thinking it may be the area I live in so who knows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
NH5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] brees75:
People say that with every update and I have yet to see any fluctuation. I am on BNH5 and stock and I get 50-60Mb down and 20-30Mb up LTE. ROM's don't affect data speed either. Can't go faster than the signal you get.
