That's the modem from the unbranded XSA G920IDVU2COGA ROM. If you want the modem from the latest version of Android - G920IDVU2DOI2 - then use either one of these...

From VFJ (Vodafone Japan) Customer Service Code G920IDVU2DOI2 ROM...

http://www82.zippyshare.com/v/CqPw8L0S/file.html

From TNZ (Telstra New Zealand) Customer Service Code G920IDVU2DOI2 ROM...

http://www75.zippyshare.com/v/oG0l67wb/file.html

These of course are Odin-flashable only. I'd share more, but just so I could extract the modem.bin file from each ROM I had to download over 3GB of data! I know I'm on 100 megabit fibre, but I'm not on an 'unlimited' plan, so if you take advantage of those 100% free+fast downloads from Zippyshare a Thank You would be nice...

As always, modems are a 'hit-and-miss' affair. Even on the same device and same network, what works well for someone else may or may not work well for you. I myself am running the Telstra New Zealand modem, and I'm relatively happy with it.

As I mentioned earlier, a good way to get better signal is to play around with your Access Point Name settings. Often you'll find that a change to a different APN can improve mobile data speeds and network connectivity, as does a 'network reset'.

Once you've flashed in a new modem, make sure wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS are off. Switch your phone to Airplane mode, then switch that mode off again. Place it on a bench or table so it won't move around. Go into Settings->Mobile networks->Network operators. Tap 'Search networks'. It'll ask you if you want to disconnect the data service. Tap OK, and the snoop will begin. Once the list comes up, tap on the name of your provider, tap OK and exit Settings. Now straight away take your phone outside, try a Speed Test and see how you go...
[Galaxy S6 General] thething869:
Yea well he did ask for the latest xsa modem so I replied accordingly...

I think someone uploaded the doi2 modem a few pages back as well

Edit - man you're so lucky with the fibre network... Sammobile is still slow as though haha
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
All good, I was just putting up the modem from the newest version of Android if anyone wanted to make comparisons...

Yeh, that was me...

It's definitely quick! Takes me just shy of 2½ minutes to get a 1.5GB ZIP file from samsung-firmwares.org...
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Thanks both of you guys.

I'm actually using Flashfire to flag my modem.bin files when I'm remote and away from a pc.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
So, I'm guessing we're all just sticking with whatever ROM is on your device right now until Marshmallow comes out? Latest G920I ROM is DVU2COIA, but of course no XSA release is available...

Unfortunately Telstra and Optus branded ROMs are unavailable at time of this post, sorry.

[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
You both going (gone) back to stock ROM? Assuming so may I ask why?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Cos every custom ROM I've tried - and I've run every one of them that's available here on XDA - has turned out to be not to my liking. The old XtreStoLite was good, but the guy that's taken the development over has wrecked the original concept. Vader isn't too bad, Resurrection is okay, Alliance is all talk but no perf. Sadly, one of the best dev.groups ever, SlimROMS, seem to have faded away, so now all I've done is throw on the new XSA coded release, rooted it with the very latest Unikernel and I'm already back up and running on the setup you see in my sig. I will say though, its pretty laggy and not exactly the most smooth and fast ROMs I've ever run, but it'll have to do until MM hits in (hopefully, *sighs*) sometime before Xmas...
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Thanks for your reply - i just upgraded to Xtrestolite v2.4 so I was interested in there being a new XSA stock and your reasons for going to that. I saw the comment of someone taking over the Xtrestolite ROM too but the original developer was responible for the current upgrade so i hope it is as reliable as v2.3. So far, all seems good. I like not having the bloatware and being able to choose the Samsung apps i want on my phone!
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
I'm actually still on custom. Just wanted to grab the bootloader and modem from the latest XSA firmware

Hey man I don't think Jason took over. His rom was just based on the old Xtrestolite. Edgarf actually released an updated build of Xtrestolite (v2.4). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3094423

I've been running it for a week now and it's great.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Only way you'll do that is root it, but I can honestly say the newest stock XSA for the 920I certainly doesn't seem to like being pushed by the v0002 Unikernel...

Anyone ever tried using Odin in a VM to update their phone? I have a macbook and have to borrow a windows laptop to update my phone. I run windows 7/8.1/10 in Parallels but don't want to risk something going wrong during an update.

If someone has done it before that would be good enough for me to try it.
[Galaxy S6 General] pete14678:

I just downloaded the new update for the XSA firmware and when my phone turned back on it said something about it not working and needing to get the software from Samsung Smart Switch on my computer. When I went to my about device and hit Samsung Update it told me my phone was up to date and when I went onto my computer Smart Switch didn't pick up any update whatsoever. Did my phone actually update? I am so confused

im on xtrestotlite rom, i want to flash this xsa firmware but stuck at odin setupconnection... reactivation lock: off :(( tried 3 differents pc
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Check your Settings->About phone. The new 'Baseband version' should read G920IDVU3DOJ6. If so, you're on the new release...

Back everything up that you want to keep, then do a factory reset. When you get back to the initial setup screen (asks you what language you want) turn off the phone, then get into Download mode. Run Odin3 v3.10.6 first, make sure the latest stock XSA firmware image is fully loaded by the program then plug your phone into the PC. Once you see... Added!, then click Start. If that fails, then your bootloader might be corrupted, and you can get the Odin-flashable COJ1 bootloader+modem package from here (thanks to ambasadii)

Telstra Reception is flaky

Has anyone been able to fix the flaky 4g reception? Im on Telstra in the Melbourne metro area and on my previous device HTC M7 i never had any reception issues, with the S6 i get at least 5 missed calls a week. I noticed that even with one bar of 4g it can still drop a call, it doesn't actually ring, it just shows a missed call message. I switched my voicemail to voice to text just so i could see straight away who called me. I don't currently have root / custom rom , would this help my reception issues. Any advice would be great.

Thanks for the answer. This is the baseband version I have. So weird then that it told me it wasn't successful and that I should download it via smart switch. It even sent error reports for the failure lol. Weird

I now have the new version with this optimization for apps thing in my smart manager settings. So curious to see what it does
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
It's a hardware issue, I'm afraid. From reports, the LTE chip in all SM-92xx's isn't the best...

Just grab the XSA unbranded, it's the same ROM but without the Craptus bloatware...

Ok, thanks for the info. just going to have to deal with crappy reception. Just reading through these posts, i'm definitely ready for xtrestolite, i have no idea what i'm doing, i'm on 5.1.1 , G920IDVU3DOJ6 where do i start?
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
[MENTION=1263460]djshotty[/MENTION] provided a load of info some pages back in this thread, but to get you started:

Backup contacts/pictures etc that are vital to you as a precaution.

Then, download the following:

Odin - http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip

Unikernel (ODIN flashable, not the flashable zip) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347808101

A custom recovery (recommend TWRP) - http://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/ (twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar)

XtreStoLite v2.4 ROM flashable zip and *optional* add-on package zip - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423

Once you've got those files, boot into Download mode (hold down the Vol down and Home buttons whilst booting up the device - press the Vol up key once the screen boots up to accept the warning message).

Here you'll root it with Unikernel, by selecting the file in the AP field of Odin - warning this will trip your Knox counter to 0x1.

Next, once Unikernel is installed, flash the TWRP file by booting into Download mode again and selecting the twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar file in the AP field of Odin.

After that's done, highly suggest you boot into TWRP and create a backup of your current system, data and boot partitions.

Finally, in TWRP, flash the Xtrestolite ROM and add-on package (if you want).

E02 update this morning for XSA phones. 163Mb. Feels way smoother and not so much ram leaking...
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Hi Guys, I've moved from a S4 to the S6 and on the whole very happy. One downside however is my phone doesn't seem to automatically reconnect to a previously paired Bluetooth device (eg car system) like the S4 did. Anyone having a similar issue and if so, found a way to fix it?

[Galaxy S6 General] zakarados:
I don't have any BT issues connecting to my car (VW) and my earphones (Jaybirds)
[Galaxy S6 General] jonchliu:
It's not necessarily from the Samsung store. Any S6 purchased outright from any retailer that sells them (ie. not on contract) will be a XSA model.

XSA == unbranded models without the carrier bloatware and bootscreens etc. (purchased outright).

OPS == Optus branded model (on contract)

TEL == Telstra branded model (on contract)

VAU == Vodafone branded model (on contract)

All the other smaller network companies still use one of the above 3 networks so for example a phone bought from Virgin will still be a OPS model etc.

NFC payments

Does anyone know how things like root and moving to the XSA firmware will affect things like commbank nfc payments?
[Galaxy S6 General] samdroid711:
Got the update as well, sammy still seems to want to preload a butt load of app in the backgroud but the battery life seems to be much improved.

To those of you on XSA and/or arent getting any updates, try downloading smartswitch on your computer. I got both D1 and E2 updates through the program.

No issues from my s6 either. I initially had a iPhone 6 (either that or the note4/z3/g3/s5) on the plan which I sold for $900 to get the s6. I had a good few issues connecting it to my car with iOS 8. I got so bad that I would have to repair it every week or so.

With the s6, the car just connects as i enter the car. No issues :D
[Galaxy S6 General] samdroid711:
If you have your phone outright, the sammy store in the sydney cbd should be able to get your phone on the xsa firmware.

Where is the auto stop feature on the new 5.1.1 update for XSA? It isn't under RAM management anymore???

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------

The idiot admins on that forum banned me permanently just because I had a difference of opinion with them. What a joke
[Galaxy S6 General] thething869:
On the latest J6 update it seems to have moved to settings->battery->detail, or from smart manager just hit battery->detail

New interface is much more organised I reckon
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
I went there and it gave the new app optimisation settings not the auto stop feature
[Galaxy S6 General] thething869:
Yea I believe its the same feature but expanded. So now you can set it to "always power saving" which is the equivalent of the auto stop before, or you can set it to "automatically optimise" which auto stops only if you haven't used the app in x number of days (this number is set in the settings part), or to never optimise i.e. never auto stop

Hope that helps mate

I need some advice about something. Google play services. Before I go to sleep at night my phone reads that Google play services is at 4%. Just now when I wake up a few hours later my phone says that Google play services is at 21%. Wtf is going on?

Good news for those data connectivity sufferers such as myself :) I've had the update for a few days and haven't had any 3g issues, so far so good. Dunno about the calls, haven't been on the phone that much yet haha
[Galaxy S6 General] thething869:
Yea Google play services drain seems to be an issue every now and then. If it keeps happening then id probably look into it otherwise its likely a one off.

Things that can add to play services drain are like background location reporting, app updates, excessive Google accounts syncing in he background. I'm sure there's more but that's off the top of my head

Legendary, worked to a tee, cheers to you and djshotty for taking the time to write clear instructions.

Despite the irritating knox trip warning, the phone is flying and all the minor irritations are gone (volume warning, screen lightup when charging etc.)

I should have done this earlier!!!
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Possibly stupid question: I updated from Telstra COGA directly to latest XtreStoLite. I didn't realise by doing this although my system is now COI9 my modem is still COGA. It all seems to work fine but is there any point trying to manually update the modem? My DLs are blazing fast so I'm erring on the side of 'if it ain't broke'.

If so, do I try to track down a tar (odin) or TWP flashable of the modem only, or, do I need to re-base on latest XSA stock? (ugh) I'm also a bit confused as shotty put up a link for BL/modem but COJ1 build which is not Aussie?? "Odin-flashable COJ1 bootloader+modem package from here (thanks to ambasadii)" - should we be flashing non Oz BL/modems?

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347838128

I do have the full XSA firmware downloaded. Is there any way I can use that to flash ONLY the modem (or bootloader for that matter)? I know I can rebase, then re-TWRP and re-flash custom (then restore titanium) but seems like too much work
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
PLEASE NOTE: THE FOLLOWING LINKS ARE FOR THE SM-G920I!​

If you want to get the very latest modem you'll need to get the latest stock ROM, which (according to sammobile.com) is G920IDVU3DOJ6 for the Optus network. Thing is, unless you have a Premium account with them they restrict the speed of your download, so I suggest to people they visit the Samsung-firmware.org website, here:

http://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G920I/

If you're on Windows, get the 7ZIP program and install it. First, extract the full ROM file from the ZIP you've downloaded, then extract the modem.bin file from that big tarball. You then flash that in with Odin, following the same instructions on how to do that which I posted earlier in this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62930476&postcount=696

Hope that gets you sorted, and cheers for the kudos! :cool:
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
cheers, well that was easy! Baseband upgraded and OCD satisfied :)

I presume to do the bootloader, its the same thing except sboot.bin (or boot.img? or both?) and the BL button in odin? Or will that mess my recovery?

EDIT doing some research and looking at other ppl's TAR files they seem to make a .tar.md5 with sboot.bin + cm.bin. Is that the way to go?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
When you flash in a stock ROM, it automatically updates the bootloader with the version that works best for that ROM. That's why ROM chefs tell you what their 'base ingredient' is. I've said it a number of times: the best way to update your device to a custom ROM is to install the newest stock, root it, flash in the recovery preferred by the chef, copy the custom ZIP to your phone, boot to TWRP/CWM/Philz etc., flash in the custom and Happy Days...
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
nvm, i figured it out :) In a hacky mood today... good to get back on the droid flashing train, its been awhile. I'm just a bit paranoid as been out of the loop for awhile + sammy idiosyncracies (this crazy odin tool...) but I've been flashing to hell and back since the Nexus 1, so I'm fairly comfortable on the tools.

If anyone wants a XSA DOJ6 bootloader md5 that works in odin, let me know :)

FWIW its cm.bin + sboot.bin, then roll your own md5/tar
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Just a heads-up for those of you that may have used the samsung-firmware.org website to grab stock ROMs. Sadly, people on the internet aren't interested in just helping others freely; instead, they set up any way they can to earn as much cash as possible by doing as little as possible. They have now gone down the same path as sammobile.com, and are limiting download speeds unless you join up and pay for a 'Premium' account. Costs are: 1 week @ US$5.99, 1 month @ US$9.99, 3 months @ US$15.99 and 6 months US$25.99.

Only way I can think of to get around such things without costing anything is to use the 'SamFirm' application in Windows, which I just did to get the latest Telstra New Zealand stock ROM as fast as my connection can go. To grab the latest version of 'SamFirm' (with Thanks:good: to zxz0O0), visit:
