[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Animoski:
Updated to the NE5 ROM + firmware and yeah, my download is locked at 1Mbps~ with my upload ranging from 10-18x faster..

Don't know whats up with the modem but it's definitely buggy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
didnt even think of those i will add the stock kernels as well to the firmware thread

so weird lol.. ya i had 5bars of lte and got 1mb down and 15mb upload O.o, looks like a new ota is in the forseeable future for tmo to correct modem issue lmao
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ddizzy81:
I odined the anch tar...and then rooted and flashed this ROM...so far so good and I'm running on the old modem. Speeds went right up back to normal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Animoski:
At least i'm not the only one experiencing this.

What are the current options to fixing this? Can I run NE5 ROM and the old modem??

Thanks for all the help and prompt responses btw, really appreciated. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ddizzy81:
Yes u can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
best bet would be to run ne5 rom and ne5 firmware and then odin or flash the nch modem only file(uploading now)

that way u get all the current firmware but the old modem so its a win win :) make sense?

and anytime im here to help, at least when im around i try to respond asap but sometimes i go missing for a day or so :P

here is NCH modem only tar http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537531 to flash after NE5 firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Animoski:
I'll definitely odin flash the NCH modem once you upload it and report back :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
its up i edited post above ya didnt see your post lol :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Animoski:
Flashed and speeds are back to normal! (31.02Mbps / 14.58 Mbps)

Thanks for the really fast & on-point fixes. Would hate to live with 1Mbps download until they decided to release another OTA, but hopefully they do end up fixing it haha. :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
haha your welcome and anytime :) must suck to be those people who dont know about xda stuck with 1mbps waiting on another ota :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
I'm in Tampa have not noticed any changes in speed with new modem will report back tomorrow as I will drive around, just to make sure my speeds are the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Animoski:
Just to reiterate I was getting consistently getting 1Mbps over LTE here in New York City via T-Mobile with a T-Mobile phone, and confirmed myself that I was using all NE5 firmware/ROM.

I think I saw other people complain about the same thing. Weird how some people have no issues.. I wonder what the actual issue is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] JUSMEJOSE:
I can confirm that the full stock odin works good for the G9001(Metropcs) :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] icebear8:
I have the new modem Installed and not having download prombles I get over 6Mbps download but I only have 4G in the area is it only people with LTE that are having problems?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bubblebuddyi:
I don't notice any difference between this ROM and the older version, besides the additional setting toggle. Am I supposed to notice a difference?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] pluginre:
The new update only has a fix for sms/mms problems some people are having.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] DevVorteX:
Hey [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION], First off, thanks for providing all this and the support. Sorry if this is a noob question, this is my first real samsung device (had a galaxy nexus prior).

I want to make sure I have the process down:

1: Flash firmware in OP via odin

2: Flash rom zip in twrp (or cwr)

3: Flash older modem linked above via odin

Does that sound about right? And if so, can you update the OP to reflect this? I skimmed through the thread and almost missed the above quoted post, so I may have been living sad at 1mps. :D

I also assume step 3 is only necessary if I notice a speed problem after step 2..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] casonswag:
Can i get a zip of old modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bubblebuddyi:
I thought it was supposed to increase the speed of opening camera and gallery too?

[MENTION=418212]beans[/MENTION] tnx for you support after flash View attachment 2761531
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
I saw an article when I was surifing that Said TMOBILE was in the middle of an update to the new firmware/modem - rolling it out - when they started getting reports of bad data speeds - particularly with people on other carriers using the TMOBILE PHONE - but on some TOMBILE users too - and the stopped the updated until they can get a fix in place.

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/24/t-mobile-halts-galaxy-s5-update-due-to-issue-that-causes-lower-data-speeds/

So I am curious - is it still a good idea to flash the latest firmware followed by flashing the previous modem as I have read that some have done here - or would it be better to wait until the fix has been released?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] killa2009:
I would like to know this also
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slimc84:
1) Go to about device. If it shows NE5 at the end of baseband, it took.

2) Full wipe is recommended as it is a new base.

3) Stock Tar would keep your data, but will wipe root and recovery.

4) Default ODIN settings work fine. Use the AP slot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
good to know

not true the new update is VERY different than the first one, i have gona through a ton of code and there is alot different almost all of the international fixs are in this. not just sms/mms fixs

the build is still far better than nch so best bet now is to use the new base rom, new firmware and nch modem "if" u have speed issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
When I first heard of this new update, I also heard many were experiencing speed issues - particularly those on ATT. Because of that I was a little concerned about trying - but I went a ahead and flasehd the firmware update today and my download speeds do not seem to be effected.

Thanks to Beans I can still re-flash the NCH modem if I need to - but it seems that maybe my phone isn;t effected - how very odd - the old saying - mileage may vary is very appropriate even with the new update from TMOBIle (I will still feel better when TMO releases the fixed update - whenever that will be.

Thanks for keeping us up to date Beans - your work is awesome and greatly appreciated.

EDIT - Turns out I was wrong. Speeds did drop a lot. At first, speeds was great - but after about 20 minutes, they dropped out to a max of 1.5 download. Flashing previous Modem now - again, big thanks to Beans for all his help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Carlos2200:
Wanted to know before I update with the romantic version instead of using Odin does the romantic zip file have the radio files or not because I don't want to have the speed issues I am reading about?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rockingondrums:
I just did a clean install and while looking through the system apps in TiBu for bloat to freeze/remove, I found an entry titled "KNOX 1.0". I froze it, but I thought I would mention it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slimc84:
ROMs do not contain radios. If you flash the stock tar, it will include the radios, but you can always flash the NCH modem after and be all set.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Carlos2200:
Thanks for the fast reply. Now I flash in peace!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
Beans posted it somewhere in the past couple of pages -

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

If you use the Odin tar to update the new rom, I believe it will include the new radio - but Beans posted the old Modem a page or two back that you can download and flash via odin after you odin flash the rom -
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] beachbum40:
I'm just wondering why I haven't gotten the update to NE5 I'm still on NCH. I haven't rooted my device yet. Just curious
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] pluginre:
T-Mobile stopped it as issues are being fixed due to Internet speeds. See link below

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...he-air-update-halted-data-speed-bug-suspected
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cal3b:
I found it too. I thought it was removed in this ROM... I uninstalled it with no problems. I also found an app called "SilentLogging 1.0.1". I froze it yesterday with no ill effects so far.

BeansTown106, what's going on with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tenxo:
Also these show up:

Sent from my SM-G900T using AllianceR(●)m
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rockingondrums:
Edit: Nevermind, Factory Reset in recovery fixed it. The timing was just coincidence.

Hi guys, I'm on this ROM and I Odin'ed the new firmware as well as the old modem in one go (without rebooting) and now I'm stuck at the T-Mobile screen. Then I tried reflashing just the new firmware and rebooting and I'm still stuck on the T-Mobile screen. I even tried reflashing the ROM through recovery, is there anyway I can get out of this without reflashing the entire stock tar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cal3b:
First thing I would do is try re downloading and flashing those radios. I flashed with no problems at all, I didn't flash any radios though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rockingondrums:
Do you have the download booster enabled? It's an icon that has both the "4G" and wifi icons next to each other.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] numbR7:
[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] -- so your ROMs are optimized ANE5 based with ANCH modems till the smoke clears on the speed issue? Sounds like we should be running ANE5. I just switched to T-Mobile (it's so nice to have my custom recovery back!) and going from the S4 to the S5 I'm learning the ropes. I want to build a decent DD with a stock-like ROM till I can find something that works for me. Pickings are a little slim so far but I'm sure they will pick up. Right now the S4 on Hyperdrive 15 is still winning probably because I don't know exactly what the heck I'm doing yet with the SM-G900T.

Thanks... Any tips for a repatriated custom recovery user?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
probably hosed something up by flashing consecutively. probably cant get away from flashing full stock tar. you should be fine after that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rockingondrums:
That's what I thought but a factory reset in recovery solved it :good: phew
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slimc84:
ROMs will never change the baseband as they are not included in the ROM. In order to change the baseband, you need to flash it through ODIN.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] numbR7:
Told you I missed my custom recovery. I had a folder full of modems to flash in the old days. Had a brain f@rt and wrote that.

Thanks for shocking me back into reality lol. I've known that for years yet I typed it out just the same. I went ahead and deleted that moronic comment. It detracted too much from the main question. That is, " is the update more than just mms stuff and are the speed issues real?" Thanks again...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slimc84:
There are still custom recoveries available for this phone and you can set everything up just like you had your previous phone. If you check Beans Firmware thread, it will contain the modems once they are uploaded.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rockingondrums:
I've got the camera shortcut on the lockscreen enabled but when I swipe to it, nothing happens. I'm using the fingerprint unlock. Does it not work with this mode? BTW, the update really improved the fingerprint unlock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] clinthess:
Should open the camera once you unlock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
silent logging looks like modem settings via its package name i will have to open it up and look around but if u check voodo carrier iq detector all ciq should be gone

some knox files are needed for certain things like enterprise email etc. but all the root related knox files are removed

its def nice on tmobile with custom recovery and ya ne5 rom nch baseband is the way to go for now

update is equivalent to the international update im rebasing alliance right now and SO much has changed i dont understand why tmobile said its just mms because its def the same update international got with a ton of fixs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nysoprano:
I'm on stock NCH (that came with phone) ... Is it OK to flash just the firmware to NE5? I'm having major data issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rockingondrums:
It does not. Maybe a reboot will help...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] edgarf28:
I've flashed this ROM on my G900F, it's running great...

But I've one problem...

When I flash back an G900F rom then the GPS doesn't work at all.

I've tried different G900F roms, but all have this bug after flashing this rom.

Also tried to flash back the G900F XXU1ANE2 Odin firmware, but doesn't help.

When I flash back this ROM then GPS works... but on all other roms it doesn't work anymore :(

Anyone knows what I can do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mhaner:
I would odin completely back to stock and go from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chefp2010:
Been out of loop for awhile so what the best way to do this ...do I flash ROM or do I flash tar I'm already running alliance ROM and I just want firmware but not the new radio and will I lose root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Towle:
If you flash the full tar, you will lose root. If you flash the firmware-only tar or the zip, you will not lose root. I would just flash the zip until we get another update from Tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
My guess is if you flashed the full tar your gonna have the issue cause your firmware changed along with the modem. When you flash G900F roms, modems aren't included. I'm no expert but thats the first thing I thought of. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] edgarf28:
Already tried that (flashed the G900F XXU1ANE2 Odin package with Odin), but even that doesn't help...

I did not flash the firmware from here, only the ROM (CWM zip).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
Don't deoxed roms have more customizations than odoxed roms.whats basically the differences between the 2 roms. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Awesome, thanks OP. This update really makes the phone fly.

EDIT: [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] - Does the firmware contain the messed up modem?

EDIT 2: I guess it does, so my question is, why would I flash it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
You can Odin the ne firmware and then Odin the modem and you will be all set
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Towle:
1. The zips will not change your modem. If you flash either of the tar files, you can flash back to the old modem with the modem only tar beans posted in another thread.

2. Everyone has their own reasons. That's up to you to decide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Then what does the firmware tar change? Just the bootloader?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Towle:
Disregard my previous post--I edited it to be correct. The firmware tar will change your modem. The zips will not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Ok...makes more sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] inneyeseakay:
Trying to flash baseband on my G900T and for some reason, it won't stick... Baseband keeps reverting back to NCH... any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
Isn't the new baseband affecting the download speeds big time? If yes then why flash the new baseband?you should just keep the old baseband version. Thanks In advance!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Yeah I didn't flash the firmware tar and it's working fine. They just released the NE6 build on sammobile so the OP will probably update this thread soon. I'm assuming that it fixed the issue.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

Dont. Just leave it and wait for the NE6 modem. It's already on sammobile if you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Ane6 up. Beans will be on it very soon guys ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
So will beans add the new firmware to the next build or do I need to personally flash the new firmware with Odin 3.07? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
on it now. :)

Your the man beans!!!

I tried to install KitKat OTA, after download is failed to install.

I have root.

Did a factory reset, no love.

Any guidance?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
read some post in the General forum, there is plenty of information there to help you fix it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huli13:
Yea.... was doing that.

Saw the suggestion of using House of Moto. When the flash started, it failed out half way, and bricked my phone.

Le Sigh
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Not to be mean, but you must not have read his post entirely. He states that after applying the OTA to a locked phone, depending on how far it got, attempting to go back to JB will brick your phone.

However, if you continue researching, SamuriHL (who knows his stuff) has provided a way to fix ALL bricked phones now and get you to KK.

However, locked phones, once on KK, cannot go back to JB at all. Never, ever, ever. So, don't try it.

So, here is the link to help you get back to a functioning phone running KitKat:

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45494-how-to-xt926-upgrade-to-kitkat-ota/

There is a reason SamuriHL says "read, re-read and read again". The actions you are taking on your phone can lead to a brick, so you must be entirely sure of what you are doing and that you are following his steps to the letter. He even has warning at the top: YOU WILL LOSE ROOT and those on locked bootloaders will not have any way of getting it back. It is lost.

Good luck and again, please ensure you read his instructions thoroughly three times before you even attempt to do this. It will save you a lot of grief.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aduarte4:
Hello everyone my name is Albert and im writing this post because I really need help.

I recently rooted,flashed and install a custom rom (Android revolution) . Ive always rooted and flashed all my phone you can say i know my way around those thing. But 2 days i decided to do a factory reset on my phone because some google services weren't working. I also did an advance wipe from recovery and restarted. After I havent been able to use my phone because it just stays on the white screen with the HTC Logo.

I went into recovery and it says something about not having an os installed..

Ive searched everywhere I cant find any thing that can help

I've tried thousands of ways to fix it but can't seem to find one that works. Ive tried connecting my phone to my computer and tried to sideload a rom but my computer doesn't recognizes it just tries to install driver for MTP device .,

Seriously guys any help will be greatly appreciated. Im lost and desperate ...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Da Kine:
You must have literally wiped everything. Follow these steps and you should be good to go:

-Download a rom from the development section

-Put downloaded rom onto micro sd card

-Put micro sd card into phone

-boot into recovery (use the button combination, if you don't know it, google it)

-(assuming you're using TWRP) Select wipe, then advanced wipe, Select: Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data

-Then slide to wipe

-Once you've wiped, press the home button in the bottom left corner

-Press install, then find the downloaded rom you've placed on the sd card, flash it and reboot

-Success?!?! :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sonusingh36:
First of all , Thanks to Devs for such a beautiful & reliable working Kitkat ROM for Xperia Sola.

Anyhow , i am currently on ROM] [UB] [XperiaSTE] CyanogenMod 11 Build 4 .

Now , Build 5 is out & available to download .

as i just installed the ROM few days ago , and customised settings according to me.

I just want to know , the instructions for Updating to Build 5 , by manually flashing the .ZIP file via CWM recovery and will it interfere with my existing ROM & user apps too, if YES , then in what way?

Also Guide me on how to update to build 5 without causing any problems, basically i just want to avoid going through the whole drill of installing ROM again.

also if i do it Over OTA , via my phone , then will it again cause any problems with my existing ROM.

Thanks, could,ve posted in the Specific Rom's Thread, but i guess i don't haveenough privileges for now:crying::silly:

Hi folks,

Just a quick one for you... I am about to download Spb Pocket Plus, Am I best off downloading it to the internal memory or my storage card (1gb)? Or doesn't it make a difference?

Thanks.

Matt.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chrisredmayne:
Personally I have installed all my programs to my storage card, they dont take up too much space really. Just means that I always have fiull memory on my phone so it doesnt start to slow down, or atleast thats my theory!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bororo:
some programs though by default can't be installed in the storage card, and i think spb pocket+ is one of them... not sure though
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] blaster_boy:
Even if you install SBP plus to your storage card, the today plugin dll is stored in your local memory, usually in the windows directory.

You can see this if you have memmaid and want to free up memory by relocating today plugins to the storage card - it's surprising how many megabytes of dll's are stored in local memory even if you choose the storage card !
