Yes, Nand is backup in recovery, and can also easily be restored from recovery. Just take a look in recovery for 5 minutes and i think you can manage to do it yourself. It isn't difficult at all.

But as i said, the app i mentioned seems to work fine

I just bought a HTC S100 BT Stereo Headset. It works OK, but only with joint stereo active. If I set the UseJointStereo to 0 (Registry Settings) the sound is just awful!

And yes, I tried alls the different settings for better audio quality - that does not make a change at all.

Is this problem known? Any remedy?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Kikouyou:
Problem known and due to the poor M$ stack...

Only solution for decent BT stereo is the Widcomm stack (see the wiki)

It is painful to use (need to reset to avoid out of memory message), but the sound is great and it works along the M$ BT stack (not at the same time so...)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KodRoute:
Hey guys. A couple of minutes ago something strange happened to my phone. I just don't understand what's going on with it. I'm so disappointed. I mean... this phone costed me some money and experiencing such a thing makes me regret so much I bought my Nexus 5. It is indeed the best phone I've ever had but if this is what it takes to have a phone for such a small period of time and already have so many problems with it then... I think it's just a waste of money.

I don't know what's going on with it - It just overheated horribly while scrolling down on Facebook. Never happened this before. I was just scrolling like normal and using FB like normal and all of a sudden my phone becomes so hot - quickly I opened System Monitor and CPU temp was at 60-67ºC.

Also if I go to the Battery Tab in System Monitor the graph is pretty strange in my opinion, I mean the battery´s temperature is going up and down all over again it's like the graph of a heartbeat record or something.

Don't get me wrong, the Nexus 5 is the best phone but if this is really what it takes to own a phone for straight two months.... I mean, really?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikidera:
I tried compiling the original kernel I have running on my Nexus 7 2013.

So I did

that last checkout of commit ac9222cf61b2646a1862fb222365e52a0d1c498d is the one my Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi originally came with. Now since I used the prebuilt binaries of GCC 4.8, it has some stricter rules for compilation so I had to remove some flags like -Wall from the main Makefile so my compile would continue, furthermore I had to edit a Makefile in arch/arm/boot/compressed so that -Wa,-march=armv7-a instead of -march=all otherwise again I could not compile due to some errors.

After this I get a nice zImage, then I do fastboot boot zImage and my tablet hangs on the bootloader menu, nothing happens at all, I have to hold down power to fix it. Basically my kernel does NOT work in the least and I am unsure what the problem is. I am hoping somebody with experience here could help me.

The reason I posted in this subforum is because more devs would see it, however if Moderators are against it, please move the thread to the appropriate forum rather than deleting it, thank you!

Hi everyone, this is my little Guide how to flash a modem (baseband) or a bootloader, or both together in Odin. Reading many threads in the last weeks, has showed me there are many people who have problems with flashing via Odin. I hope this thread will help and result in a successful flash for you guys and girls.

First of all, i want to say, i'm using Odin 3.09 for flashing.

https://mega.co.nz/#!RxsVmQgC!vZ6fruGpIyl5zc_cimddMNHBN9dy8zM2f-0yqq84QZQ

(Credits for the odin package to [MENTION=4975115]samersh72[/MENTION])

I explain how to flash a modem and a bootloader together at the same time. You can follow the steps also for only one of both.

Everything you are doing with your phone is on your own risk. I am not responsible for anything.

So let's start with the flash:

You have downloaded your modem (let's say NB9....tar.md5) and your bootloader? OK, so

1. rightclick on Odin and start it as administrator.

2. Now open the windows taskmaster. End all "Kies" processes.

3. In Odin untick "Auto reboot"

4. For the bootloader select BL and browse to your bootloader file.

5. For the modem select CP and browse to your modem file.

The next step is VERY IMPORTANT

6. Power off your phone. (Make sure it's not connected to pc or charger)

7. Start your phone into download mode by holding Vol down, and power button.

IMPORTANT: DON'T REBOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE FROM YOUR POWER MENU! ALWAYS USE THE TWO BUTTON COMBO!

8. Once your phone is in download mode, connect it to your PC. (Best results always with your original Samsung USB cable)

Odin should say "Added" now.

9. Press the Start button in Odin and let it do it's magic.

wait about 2 - 5 minutes.

10. When Odin shows "PASS" you can unplug your phone.

IMPORTANT: WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE "PASS" DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE BEFORE!

11. When you have unplugged your phone, it is still in download mode. Just hold the power button about 8 seconds until your phone reboots.

DONE

Go to Settings/my device/about phone. There you will see your new baseband.

To check if the bootloader was flashed correct you need a terminal emulator.

type: su (press enter)

Type: getprop ro.bootloader (press enter)

The result shows wich bootloader you have.

I can take files flashable in either Odin or custom recovery.

I haven't found the modem files on Sammobile. I only find the complete stock ROM files that do include modems, but they're like 1.5 GB, and I don't even know if I could extract the modem out of it...

[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Do you have a new knox bootloader?

Here's the package you need my friend. If you have a new bootloader, flash gsm modem and non-hlos. bin.

If you have an old knoxfree bootloader, flash only the gsm modem.

https://mega.co.nz/#!jAowQQTS!HXKJAVaRXLuGNKFO7UTz9XPecen0DWMQJlE8yah5eds
[Galaxy S 4 General] fabecoool:
Yes, unfortunately (at least I think). I had to take my phone in for repair (hardware issue, it could no longer read SIM card, so no connection). They changed the whole board and loaded the latest software, with Knox :mad:

I was planning to flash a debloated TW ROM as primary so I can still have the stock camera, which gives far better output than anything you can have on custom ROMs, especially in low light conditions, and then test a few custom ROMs for daily drivers as secondary.

But if I guess if I flash a TW ROM, the Modem will be included, right? So that's why I first want to make sure I have a way to flash the modem I have right now and that works well.

Another option would be to find a way to save the modem I currently have on my phone, if there's any way to do that. But that might be even more challenging.

It drives me mad to think that all that is because of the camera, otherwise I would just flash a custom ROM and be done with it!

Thanks a lot! I replied when you hadn't yet edited your post!
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
If you flash a stock tw firmware, the modem is included. In custom ROMs not. To save your current modem isn't possible i think. You only can look if there's a modem package available to download. But no matter on wich ROM you are, you can always change modems to whatever you want. It's not necessary to have the same modem as the ROM base. It just has differences in signal strength or mobile data connection sometimes.

@speedwayfan75 do you think the issue may also be that I need to first flash stock 4.4.2 fw and then flash 5.0.1?
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
No, a stock firmware isn't needed. You always can upgrade only the bootloader. Have you already a knox bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zehlek:
As far as I know. My bootloader is stock 4.4.2 Bell i337m
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Ok. So flashing the lollipop one isn't needed as you already have knox. You only need the two modems. Could it be that the i9505 modems are not compatible with the i337m? That would explain your problems, also for the bl. As i said above, i have no clue about other models.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zehlek:
I know when flashing modem it says response from bootloader and fails
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
So i think it's not compatible with your device my friend.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Alipk52:
One question, if i update to lollipop bootloader, and i flash any JB/KitKat TW ROM, Will it work?
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
It is reported by some users to work. But it's not necessary to use the lp bootloader. You can use any bootloader with knox. Or you flash AEL kernel lollipop edition. With it everything works.

By the way, for the two combo is not necessary to hold both; you can press first power button and when you feel the vibration of booting immediately press and hold the volume button till you seen on screen recovery (small yellow letters on upper left corner) or download. [MENTION=6379982]speedwayfan75[/MENTION] the link for downloading will probably give Odin 3.10.0 (not 3.09) but that is ok, work also very well. Another hint, when extract Odin files both Odin and it's .ini must be in he same folder.

If you flash a OA7 ROM and it has a custom kernel included, you don't need to flash another baseband. If there's no custom kernel, you have to update the baseband to OA7 to have working wifi.

bootloader/modem HOB8

Hi all,

Now I have official 5.0.1 Germany DBT on my I9505 (HOB7). Can I flash HOB8 modem only without flashing whole new rom? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Yes my friend. You can always switch modems only without flashing a whole firmware. In my last post is a link where you can find modems.

You need to flash gsm modem and non-hlos.bin.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Almin94:
First flash modem, than reboot again to download mode and flash non-hlos. But now wifi wont turn on.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
In that case you should flash back to the OB7 modems. It's possible that OB8 modems are not compatible with the official OB7 firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 General] O-T:
Reboot?

That will definite cause a bad flash in Odin.

Did you read and perform step 6.

OB8 is build 8 of February (B), 2015 (O).

OB7 is build 7 of same month.

Both are Lollipop.

Has not been any problems to switch modem (GSM) or non-hlos (WiFi /LTE/audio firmware) inside major Android version of bootloader.

Advice

First of all, thanks for the great guide. I am pretty new to the whole rooting/flashing/custom ROM thing, so guides like yours are really great to find. I do however have some additional questions which I am hoping you can and want to awnser.

Your post makes really clear HOW to flash. What I was not able to find is WHY I should or shouldn't do so. I am not sure what bootloader I have or how to find out, but more importantly I wonder if I should care if everything works (seems to work?) just fine. Also having a newer modem sounds good, newer is usually better. Is that true in this case? What benefits would flashing a newer modem give me?

Hope you (or other users) are able to help. Info I know now is: I have an i9505, I flashed multiple custom ROMs (5.0.x as well as 5.x) that seemed to not have problems with reception/network, Wi-Fi, though reception in general (in my house for example) could be better. I now have baseband XXUGNG8.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
If you have no problems with wifi or signal or other things, there's no need to flash anything newer. Sure it could be possible that you have better signal with a newer modem. Otherwhise it can also be bader than before. So usually i never flash a bootloader or a modem as long as everything works. On the I9505 we can flash modems, and if the signal gets bad with it, we can flash back to the old one. Not sure if it's possible with your variant. So i suggest, if it works, don't touch it.[emoji6]

EDIT: i just saw you have the i9505. Stupid me.[emoji3]
