I'm upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop on my Fido GS4 using the files in OP (thanks OP!). Can I update the Firmware and Modem in Odin in the same flash? Or do I need to flash Firmware first then Modem (separate flashes)?

Also is the Modem file working now (it wasn't working for some earlier in the thread)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mxcoy:
Chainfire file is not an operating system ROM, it is just a rooting method.

If you have already performed the procedure to flash the Rogers 5.0.1 ROM on your SGH-I337M, just continue to perform the same procedure but this time, flash the Chainfire file I specified, it will root you current Rogers 5.0.1 ROM.

Again, Chainfire file is not an operating system ROM, it is a file that will root the operating system you are currently running on your phone.

To clarify a bit more, Chainfire has a rooting file for specific phones (one file is not necessarily compatible with multiple phone models). The Chainfire file link I provided is specifically for the SGH-i337m (your phone model) and although it is intended for Android 4.4.2, it will work on 5.0.1....I have tried it myself and it works without a flaw.

I hope this helps... Let me know if you succeed on rooting your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] airsingh:
alright thanks

[MENTION=5213025]mxcoy[/MENTION] ya i will let you know tommorow

UPDATE: i opened the ODIN 3.07 and when i pressed start, it said FAIL right away, so what do you think is the problem?

do you think i should i use the ODIN 3.10 with the CF auto root md5 file? or maybe i have to unlock bootloader or something?

i dont care about flashing custom ROMS like cynogen or whatever, just want to get administrative permission to remove apps, etc. and i thought i followed the right steps, but doesnt seem to be working.

Can't seem to flash the modem

Hey guys, here is my issue :

I just installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 on my phone, I was comming from a rom called Kangapop, it was getting sluggy and I wanted to upgrade from 5.0 to 5.0.1

I'm having weird battery display issues, and the OP mentions it's just showing the wrong %, and that flashing the modem could fix it. I have applied the OP's cosmetic patch, but I really wnat to get it done

I can't seem to be able to flash the Modem .bin given in here, would it be because my device is listed as an GT-I9505G (but it really is an sgh-i337m) and that's why it doesn't want to kick in ? It keeps saying Failed, I tried flashing a 2nd time as some users mentionned here and it doesn't work.

Here's a screenshot of my "about phone" http://gyazo.com/52195b39e0446c045580acab6ad3b652

thanks in advance!

Do you have USB debugging enabled?

Are you running Odin with administrative privileges ?

I don't think you need to have your bootloader unlocked since you are already running a Rogers ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] airsingh:
[MENTION=5213025]mxcoy[/MENTION]

Ya usb debugging is enabled, and ya i opened it with administeative privileges.

UPDATE: i downloaded ODIN v3.09 and used the CF-auto root file you told me and voila... it worked, and its rooted

im so happy right now, thank you for all the help bro! :D :D :D :D

im rlly stupid

i dont know what i did, but my sim card was not getting recognized, i might have uninstalled some system apps, so i was following some suggestions like clearing cache and reseting phone, after several reboots, after the samsung logo, i was suppose to go to my home screen, instead it was black with pop ups of android.xxxxx has stopped and couldnt get out of it. i knew my phone was bricked and i was so pissed. so i thought i might as well factory reset everything, but before that i wanted to try flashing it again. So i tried flashing it but it kept failing, and then my phone said that the flashing was interupted and it kept repeating, so i got a stock firmware for rogers 4.4.2 and flashed it again, but the process stopped halfway and i had no choice but to take usb cable out and restart, and voila the phone was working again, it had everything back to normal running 5.0.1 without root, plus all the stock apps back, so i was really happy... so i think i might stop messing around with this rooting business lol..

TWRP Install

I have read the instructions for the install via ODIN. I can do that but.... All the other roms I have tried I use TWRP recovery to install without a glitch. This rom fails.

Thanks guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mxcoy:
If you want an untouched Rogers 5.0.1 ROM, go to the Sammobile website and download the latest Rogers ROM for your phone, the download page contains the steps to flash the ROM via Odin.

If you want to root, follow my instructions on my previous posts on this thread.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jdip:
You mean if you flash just the firmware, it will update the modem as well? And the separate modem file isn't needed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] m9999:
Correct. If you download the ROM from sammobile, it includes the latest modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kriEv:
Just a heads up, if you are flashing modem or bootloader, you will need to flash it twice if you want it to stick. for some reason, the flash doesnt stick after only 1 try. Make sure you untick auto-reboot in ODIN and just reboot the device yourself in download and reflash the modem/bootoader and on the 2nd time, it will stick.

Out of US..Which one do I flash

Hey folks, I was wondering..I don't live in the us but I have this model. The thing is, it's on 4.2.2 and I carried the phone to fix but when I got it back, the imei was gone. I can't make any calls etc( imei reads 0/04). I want to update to Lollipop and i was wondering.. which firmware I should flash or if it matters which one once it's a i337m version?

I tired alot of things to restore the imei but nothing works. I read that if I remove root, it may work...And so I decided that I may try 5.0 to see it its successful. Please someone direct me as to the correct firmware and or baseband/ modem I should dl and use.

If I flash a Rogers firmware onto a Fido/Bell/Telus/Koodo/etc I337m, would it still work? Are there any differences?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lgsshedden:
it is my understanding that the only difference is the carrier specific bloat that each adds, the firmware from Samsung is the same in each case e.g. OC4

you can also install a custom ROM derived from i9505 firmware (e.g. Goldeneye) for the same reason -- the carrier bloat is skipped but the base is still Samsung
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iSonChau:
Hi, after I flash the rogers firmware i get into a bootloop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lgsshedden:
which carrier are you with? check the firmware download MD5 first to ensure it is good, then pull the battery, go back into download mode and re-flash the firmware with Odin -- make sure you are following the instructions correctly i.e. you have put the firmware in the correct box for the version of Odin you are using and that you have not messed around with repartition or PIT or bootloader or such without knowing first what you are doing and why. There are several good guides posted on XDA on how to flash safely and correctly, read and follow the right one for your phone.

Hi, I'm using unlocked S4 from Rogers with a different carrier. If i flash the given lollipop update from the rogers will my phone lock again? Currently I'm in stock kitkat 4.4.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wondakson:
Yes it'll be locked. However, you can unlock it again by following the CF instructions earlier in this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jithin673:
But CF is for rooting the S4 after the lollipop update right? Will my phone be network locked with Rogers again? If so what steps i have to follow to unlock it again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kriEv:
if the device is unlocked as in, SIM unlocked it will remain unlocked, the lock is hardware, has nothing to do with software.

If you are talking about root, thats different, it will loose root but thats normal, all you need to do is reroot.

Bell Samsung S4 SGH-I337M 5.0.1 Sim Unlock ?

So I have rooted my Samsung S4, it's currently locked to Bell and been trying to find a proven method of unlocking my Sim. The *#0011# doesn't work along with other dialer codes. Tried using Regionlock Away but no luck, have read it works on Android version 4.2.2 but nothing higher.

My question is it possible to simply use Odin to flash my modem only to achieve sim unlock. Someone else out there must of solved this. Currently running Android 5.0.1 SGH-I337m

So frustrated any help would be appreciated.

Well the only way I can see to flash boot loader is to Odin the stock firmware then start from scratch maybe some one can extract it? all I can see when I open the firmware is aboot.bin and all the guide I've read say u need sboot.bin I think. So idk if these are the same or not???

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rzol:
Thanks! Big help. Also the modem file in the download didn't work for me, needed to grab the modem.bin from the firmware md5 file.

Both are in the .md5 file, but I only flashed the modem.bin through the CP box in Odin. Everything is working fine - I have LTE - but do I need to flash NON-HLOS.bin as well?

editBelow is for people only interested in updating their modem ONLY and already have Lollipop installed.

Just used this kind sir's modem and flash via Odin, my phone actually has better data transmission. I can't say it will for everyone, but I see an IMMEDIATE improvement. I just updated to lollipop from kitkat and thought I should try the newer modem as well. I am using an I337M (as should anyone reading this, otherwise find another thread for your phone) and on Wind.

Before actually doing ANYTHING to your phone, root it. Why? because you aren't that lazy, learn it and know it. Install the right drivers to your computer and so on. Get to know who Chainfire is, he will save your potatoes. Otherwise... go ahead.

My instructions with Odin. v3.09 (http://www.mediafire.com/download/vwuqru9m1jp9wbw/Odin3_v3.09.zip)

Open as Administrator.

Untick auto reboot. (This is the step that some like and some don't.)

Load the modin file (name it modem.bin) into CP (you will see while searching for your phone that it says "Phone files" .bin etc in the file browser window

Turn off your phone, take out the battery for 10 seconds, pop it back it.

Hold Volume down + Power + home buttons until your screen says AHHHHHHHHHHHHH you are about to do custom cool things. (it doesnt say that)

Hit the up volume key and you are now in download mode.

Plug in your phone to you computer. Odin should say "Added!"

Hit start and wait. Even when Odin says RES OK!! and it seems like it's stuck WAIT!!!!!

Soon it will says finished/Complete and box up top will turn green.

Hold the power button down until your phone shuts off.

Boot up again into download mode and redo the above steps.

Power off again and take our your battery for 10 seconds.

Boot up = YEAH!

If that doesn't work I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my phone ain't one.
