[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] niccuany:
Would this modem work if I'm on a GPE rom that is still 4.4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Works just fine for me on Danvdh's latest GPE 4.4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlxRogan:
Yeah, I'm going to flash bootloader next and try that out. I did try the permissive test, but still showing Enforcing. After I get the bootloader straightened out, I'll try it again. Much thanks for the ROM and the assistance though, even to an XDA noob. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Yeah its gonna be a game of finding what's keeping it at enforcing. Because I made the same edit that has worked on 4.3 and 4.4.2 plus another and its still setting to enforcing. And haha!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlxRogan:
Fun, looks like it's going to be whack-a-mole for a while. I just pulled down the M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_M919UVUFNH7_HOME you posted earlier so I can hopefully extract the bootloader from that. Learning all kind of new stuff, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] niccuany:
Okay cool. Should I just do the modem.bin or both files?

Yes sir. Just tired again to make sure.

I am not sure what xda is doing here but when we really need devs for our device, the good ones got scared off. What kind of forum is this? This is supposed to be a place for help and the people who can help don't want to be here anymore. BS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Its not just xda.... Everyone wants to blame xda when everyone blaming xda has no clue what really happened and just see xda as someone to point the finger at. And honestly 90% of xda and other forums , the "devs" aren't even devs. 98% of users don't even know what a developer is. You compile something that was already developed by someone else, you're not a dev. Mod a premade ROM you're not a dev. Cook a stock ROM you're not a dev. Build cwr trwp philz? Not a dev. Because you have developed none of these things. An actual developer did and even gave you instructions on how to do it. I can and have done all these things, built carbon kitkat before even official for almost all s4s , have posted cwr compiled from source, built kernels, XML mods, smali mods (even tho I completely suck at even reading that shiz) but not a dev. I'm not knocking anybody but I'm just saying. The word dev is thrown around way to much with the wrong meaning of what it really means.

Nobody is pissed, I was just saying it was the wrong thread :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Same question?

In my case, think I will wait on this until the dust settles - traveling in a few days for 3 weeks and that should be plenty of time for modem issues to be addressed and hopefully a few rotted modded ROMs will be out .

Unless enough posts come out saying the modem only works and runs good or even better on current ROMs - lol.

Wholly C__p - Sunnyside has a rooted deodexed flashablke version out already !

One last question do I have to flash both the modem.bin and NON-HLOS?

What do they do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Modem.bin is the GSM modem and NON-HLOS.bin is the LTE modem. If you were ever on stock official 4.3 or later you'll need them both. If you never took an OTA and are still on the MDL bootloader, then just flash Modem.bin.

Edit: flash the GSM modem first and then the LTE modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Was on the phone when I was typing this - sorry - lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KingLion89:
so do i need a computer to completely flash this rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Not if you bought chainfire's Mobile Odin app, which I doubt since you had to ask. It's probably best that you use the PC version. You can cause some serious damage if you're not too familiar with Mobile Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikeking01:
Yes, it does break towelrool. But you can still root with CF auto root via odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xperia_88:
I have m919 / 4.42 with NB4 Modem and old DML Bootloader. I intend to update to 4.44.

1- Can I odin "Modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin" now?

2- Is it ok to stay with my old Bootloader ?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] micl9:
Hey All

Keep in mind without the full update(including bootloader) you are only upgrading the GSM modem, not LTE.

Discussed HERE

To hell with Knox, I am going to update to to latest stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xperia_88:
Do you have the link for NH7 Bootloader for m919 ? I have only for I9505.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] randyle91:
noob question what is non hlos lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
You want just aboot or the aboot and sbls too

LTE radio. Dont flash it if on a different bootloader
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xperia_88:
Sorry didn't get your answer... aboot, sbls ???:confused:

I just look for link...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
we have 4 different parts of the bootloader. aboot sbl1 sbl2 sbl3 want them all? Also it probably wont flash on your device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xperia_88:
My Bootloader now is M919UVUAMDL and my Baseband is M919UVUFNB4. Since I intend to flash NH7 Rom I wonder if I need to change just my Modem to NH7 or also my Bootloader ?:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Ohhhhh you said i9505 I was assuming you were an i9505 user.

If youre gonna do all that you might as well just flash the whole firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LEGEND94:
I think I'm going to flash the entire firmware, can you post the firmware update and instructions please. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:

Unzip and ODIN the file. You will have unrooted stock including stock recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LEGEND94:
Thanks!

Will One Click root it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Not sure - I have not used it. Staying with MDL bootloader (ODIN's only the modem) and zipped ROMs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LEGEND94:
Hey Gaww the Mega link doesn't work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gruuvin:
Unless someone can confirm more radio/modem changes/improvements already claimed by T-Mobile regarding this M919UVUFNH7 update, there should be no expected improvements aside from the new in-flight wifi.

Am I right people?

So if you are not wanting to use wifi on an airplane in the near future, there isn't really any reason to flash the new modem binaries. Unless you just like the hassle of Odin flash, don't reboot, pull your battery, stick out your tongue and hold your head just right, -repeat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Root:
I find it switches between signals faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gruuvin:
I found that with baseband NB4, when I went from stock ROM to [ROM]【4.4.4】Google Play Edition 【KTU84P】a week ago, the radio switches in lessa than a second between wifi/LTE/H/H+ when I manually turn on/off wifi and/or data.

I wonder if this has more to do with Android 4.4.4 or Ktoonsez kernel than the modem. Since you experience very fast radio switching now as well as I, maybe the similarity in our experiences is due to the upgrade to 4.4.4.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Root:
I unrooted using the option in SuperSU
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] raceman1972:
I can't thats the problem. I ended up just waiting for the sammobile one to finish. It finished earlier, but i am just now getting a chance to try it out. I'm gonna try the flash dance now. LOL. Ya know, Unchecked auto reboot, flash, pull battery, directly back to download mode, flash again. Woo-Hoo. All I know is I did this stupid 4.4.4 update and it just killed my phone. No Wifi, No mobile data. Half the time, not even phone service. Now I gotta stand on my head while touching my left elbow to my right knee, wiggle my left pinky toe around in a circle 5 times, turn off my tv, and then repeat the whole process and hope it works. THATS JUST RIDICULOUS.

Does anyone know if this new update enabled VoLTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marcopolosm:
Majorly baffled!

First I want to say I really appreciate the knowledge on this forum and hope someone can lend a hand. I am having some minor issues after using towelroot and CWM to root my TMobile M919 on stock 4.4.2.

Here is exactly what I did and the outcome. After applying towelroot, I installed SuperSU and Rom Manager. I then used Rom Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7. Since that time, many of my previously working apps are failing and I think the cause is that they are not able to write to the SD card. Example, ESPN fails to download podcasts. Amazon Kindle app would not download my purchased books. Flipboard will not load its images. I "fixed" ESPN by changing the storage location in the ESPN app from external to internal, it started working right away. When I try to change the cache file location in flipboard, the app crashes. So, I am thinking there is some issue writing to the SD card. Other apps write to the SD card fine.

To try to troubleshoot, I have cleared the app caches. I have reformatted the SD card both through Settings/Storage and through CWM. I have tried a new SD card. I have even done a wipe data/factory reset with CWM. I am totally stumped.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I guess at this point, I would be happy to return to stock rom / recovery if possible.

Thanks very much.

Makes sense. It was like you had your house alarm always on before. Every time you enter the house it sets off the alarm even if you use your key.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] razpuli:
I believe that KitKat lock down the external SD card - so you can't write to it. Go to Playstore and download SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD and run the apk. It will make some minor modifications and permit you to write to your external SD card. Should fix your problem. It did for me.

On another note, what would be the best resource for me to learn how to make a custom ROM? Basically what I want to do is make a ROM mostly stripped of all the Samsung apps - kind of a Google Play version Touchwiz with WiFi calling and download boost.

I have INSANE KIT KAT 4.4.2, and I immediately noticed MUCH faster signal acquisition on both wifi and cellular. LTE was up before my screen flipped over from the loading animation was cleared, I was instantly online rather than waiting on NB4 baseband for another 30-60s for everything to get ready. It's the baseband for sure, first baseband I've been impressed with for a while.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HKSpeed:
I updated from 4.4.2 on the MDL bootloader to the full NH7 firmware and ShinySide's stock 4.4.4 ROM. I noticed that my phone stay in HSPA+ mode more than LTE. In places I got LTE previously, now I get HSPA+. I still get LTE, but more HSPA+ instead. Very strange. I wonder if T-Mobile intentionally did this to keep people off LTE as much as possible. I now get better HSPA+ reception in places where I didn't get any reception before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Doubt it. My device still connects to LTE the majority of the time on full NH7 firmware. Very seldom do I find myself dropping to HSPA.. Check your APN or reflash your firmware

All other radio stuff seems to work fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serendipityguy:
There could be some other JaimeZX issues,

Please try this

Forget the rom and go and re download it again, compair the file size of both of them, could have been a bad downlaod. This has at times caused me to load the rom but not get WIFI and this has 99% of the time due to a bad downlaod. Try not to download a rom on WIFI becasue it may cut off for a second wich may contribute to a bad downlaod.

See if you can extract it with no errors in winZip utility

Flash the new rom

WIPE the Dalvik Cache

WIPE the cache

Then complete the flash, reboot and let it set for 30 minutes, go out for a coffee and then let bake in. Once you return, reboot it again and let it load up then try to connect to WIFI again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaimeZX:
Okay, thanks - I'll try it. Sort of... Right now I'm just on the rooted stock rom. I reflashed the stock ROM to send it for warranty work (SCR error, which they didn't fix) and re-rooted when I got it back. At some point the wifi ducked out.

I need my wifi because I need my Wifi calling (often in areas of poor / no cell signal).

So there's this ROM from this thread, I like that it's debloated, but it's 4.2.2.

Are there any newer stock-based ROMs someone can recommend that'll keep the wifi calling but maybe have more features? (I understand stock-based is required to keep wifi calling.)

Side-note: on my old phone (SGS 4G) if, after a flash, the wifi didn't work we'd just flash an updated kernel. Y'all don't think that'd work here? :dunno:

Thanks again!
