Hey guys,

Hope someone can help me out. I have been racking my brain for past 2 days... I am on a rogers samsung s4 SGH-l337M. I flashed the most recent firmware from sammobile which is 5.0.1 l337MVLUGOH1. I tried using cf-autoroot to root it with Odin. Now it flashes on my phone but upon reboot it stays on the white samsung letter logo forever. I have to put it back into download mode and reflash the stock 5.0.1 firmware to get it working again. I honestly don't get what's wrong.....

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Another way to root would be to flash twrp and then flash the latest version of supersu from twrp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rbtech:
Does the phone need to be rooted for ODIN to connect and install new rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Root is not required to install a ROM via Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] arasarn:
Have you tried anything other than the rogers 5.0.1 ROM listed on this site? It actually flashes the BELL stock ROM.

It doesn't really matter that to me as I am SIM unlocked and on Videotron now but BELL's bloatware is lame.

Out of the 5.0.1 ROMs listed at sammobile is there one that is like a factory unlocked STOCK ROM image there without any specific carrier bloat?

This will soon become my backup phone/secondary pokemon go phone so I am putting it back on stock to avoid the hassle associated with the new safety net check on Pogo.

Any more information would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
All stock roms at sammobile.com are all the same base stock roms witn carrier customizations. Flash a Telus rom and change the csc using the dialler to choose Telus as the carrier even if your carrier is not Telus. Telus seems to have the fewest apps.

To change the csc via stock dialler, try this: *#272*Device IMEI# to bring up a menu and select the carrier you want.

The phone probably has a bell csc file and it looks like a bell rom after flashing a Rogers rom from sammobile.com.

If the rom is not meant for your phone or the rom is not downgradeble, Odin will stop the flash process.

Is there a special program needed to extract bootloader and modem from firmware. I am asking this because there is a new firmware released

Odin hangs saying " File analysis " help

Hello all :)

So I am just trying to flash the modem and Odin seems to get stuck on the " File analysis " part of the process. Can anyone help me past this part

- the phone is an SGH-I337m

- I have the phone in download mode

- I have renamed the modem file to modem.bin

- I re downloaded the file just to make sure

- How long does the modem flash take ( I have left it for 10 mins and nothing)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Flashing a modem did not take more than a few minutes in my case.

Modem upgraded. By loading Rogers stock ROM

I was able to flash the the stock Rogers 5.01 ROM , that updated the modem and now I have loaded twrp and am using the Tesla 5.1.1. version high voltage 2.21, everything is working and super smooth love this ROM soo sweet. Anyway just wanted to update for you all and give praise to all the contributors and devs. You all rock

I am running Optimized LineageOS 14.1-Stable5 on my Canadian Fido/ Rogers I337M Baseband I337MVLUGOH1

But LTE on my i337M is not working; only getting H+ [Preferred Network set to LTE & APN settings are correct]

I get LTE 99% of the time with stock Rom (Android 5.01) at the Same Location with Same Service Provider.

Hence I believe the modem file in this Rom may not be fully compatible with Baseband I337MVLUGOH1

I love this Rom so how do extract/obtain the latest modem bin for I337MVLUGOH1 & flash ONLY the modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
The latest modem may be from the QB1 stock ROM. I always update the bootloader and modem to ensure compatibility.

I recommend creating a nandroid backup, flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com, flash TWRP, restore backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
Sorry I am a newbie so I have the following questions:

1) Can I flash the QB1 stock ROM with TWRP 3.1.1 that I already installed or should it be flashed through ODIN

2) If I flash with Stock ROM won't I loose the Root access?

3) After flashing Stock Rom if I restore my backup LineageOS 14.1 won't it overwrite & rollback the modem files

I am extremely sorry to trouble you but would greatly appreciate detailed steps as I am new.

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
You must flash the stock ROM using Odin.

You will lose root but no big deal because you can use Odin to flash twrp without rooting first.

Restoring a twrp backup doesn't overwrite the existing modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
Sorry did you mean Rogers 5.01 ROM ? Where did you find Rogers 5.11 ROM?

Also do you notice any differences after updating the modem?

My Wifi signal is very weak with older version and hence I plan to update the modem tomorrow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] yajah:
Your right I used the rogers 5.01 ROM , thanks for the correction . will edit my post above . I can't say I noticed much a of a difference with the new modem but I alsp wasn't measuring with anything but the regular meter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
I flashed my Fido I337M Baseband I337MVLUGOH1 with Bell I337MVLSGQB1 stock Rom.

Everything went very smoothly and LTE is working again with the stock Rom.

However Wifi is OFF and I am unable to turn it on. When I tried to turn it ON by tapping the WiFi icon or going to the WiFi menu and dragging the WiFi switch from OFF to ON but it instantaneous goes back to OFF.

What should I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Did you flash the bell stock ROM via Odin or just the baseband?

If you flashed just the baseband, I recommend flashing the entire stock rom with Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
I flashed the full stock via Odin. However I was on Optimized LineageOS 14.1 and did NOT wipe any data before flashing the entire stock Rom.

Under About device: Baseband version is still I337MVLUGOH1 but the the Build number is LRX22C.I337MVLSGQB1.

Although I flashed the Bell Stock Rom my phone still has the Fido Apps (Fido App zone & My Account).

My phone does not have any Bell App or Bell Logo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
You can change the carrier apps by using the dialer to change the csc settings.

I'm not using an s4 at the moment but I will check when I get home to see what mine says.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
Carrier App are not an issue; However I thought when we flash the full stock Rom it would flash everything.

Is there away to update the driver or a firmware for the WiFi chip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Just flashed the bell qb1 stock ROM over a stock telus oh1. This was a phone with cracked glass that I use for experimenting.

Prior to flashing, build and baseband were oh1. Both are now qb1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
Thank you for the experiment. But why is my Baseband still on OH1?

I forgot to remove the check-mark in Re-Partition in Odin so I am currently flashing again

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

I removed the check-mark in Re-Partition in Odin and flashed again and everything is fine.

WiFi is working like before and both the Build & Baseband is I337MVLSGQB1

I flashed the entire (full) Rom by selecting the 1.5GB stock Rom .tar file in AP in Odin but previous data such as user name still remains and I didn't have to setup the phone again. The flashing in Odin took the same mount of time as before but the installation process after reboot was very quick (took only a minute or less)

I am very confused; did I end up flashing ONLY the Baseband by mistake ???

WiFi signal was weak before & still remains weak. I am assuming QB1 will have the latest drivers for the Wifi Chip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Re-partition will only work if you have a pit file.

I use Odin 3.07 for all of my flashing as I find it the most stable and compatible with the Samsung phones I flash.

Flashing a stock ROM via Odin does not wipe anything which is why the apps, settings, etc. are still present after flashing.

Yes, qb1 is the latest. The weak wifi may be an indication that the wifi chip is slowly going. I have two motherboards in my desk with no wifi functionality.

Not sure how you could flash just the baseband unless you unzipped the tar file into separate files and flashed the modem separately.

Could be that it skipped flashing the baseband the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
Thank you. Is the Wifi chip driver included in the Baseband or is it separate?

Would like to know if Wifi driver can be updated before retiring the phone for standby / occasional y use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
i don't know enough about the phone to say wether the wi-fi driver is separate but I would assume it's built into the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
When I take the phone near the router the Wifi signal is fine but signal starts to drop quickly as I move away.

I tried two Android 7 custom Roms but there was absolutely no improvement in Wifi signal strength.

Thank you again for installing the stock QB1 & checking. Had you not done that I won't have flashed again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
You are welcome. We are all here to help and learn from each other.

Another thought: is it possible the internal antenna wires are loose?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] utsc:
I removed the back cover and cleaned the contacts but how do I check if the antenna wires are loose?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
You need to remove the back frame to access the internal components.

I don't know what "improvement" -QB1 offers, but I have witnessed what restriction it does! After I upgraded to -QB1, I could no longer use SD Maid to freeze unwanted bloatware. I freeze them instead of deleting in case if I ever need them. Re-installing a system app is a bi*ch on this phone. (Yes, I have changed permissions and all that). Since freezing bloatware is important for me, I went back to -OH1. Many months later my Wi-Fi stopped working! Actually since I almost never use wi-fi because I have unlimited data plan with my phone company, I didn't know how long it has been broken. Since the two events were so far apart, it didn't occur to me they were related. After investigating for days, I finally realized although I re-flashed with -OH1 to downgrade, the baseband remained at -QB1! Odin skipped the baseband. By re-flashing again with -QB1 to make all parts consistent within the same rev, Wi-Fi starts working again! With this discovery, I extracted the modem.bin file from -OH1 and specifically re-flashed the baseband. After the modem is downgraded back to -OH1, I re-flashed the whole ROM with -OH1 so that everything is consistent at -OH1.

The Wi-Fi works again!

Whatever benefits this -QB1 rev brings, it is not worth it with the headaches it has brought me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Skorpiius:
Any thoughts what might be going on with my phone?

It's a galaxy s4, on Bell, and it seems to brick itself every few months.

To fix it I start to follow the instructions:

To flash the firmware, extract the zip, and load the .md5 into the AP section of ODIN

Make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is checked.

Put your phone into download mode (Press power+home+volume down) and click start in ODIN.

Once the flash is complete, hold volume up + home to boot into recovery. Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset and reboot.

But before I can get to the bolded part, once the flash is complete it automatically reboots and is fine without any factory reset needed. But the only way to get it unbricked is to go through the motions of the firmware flash using Odin.

You don't need root on any device, .. in fact I would suggest against it unless you are an expert android enthusiast. How do you know if you are and expert/novice/noob. ..If don't know how many partitions your device has, or if you don't know how to activate developer options .. You should leave the device alone and do a lot of reading.

Google "recovery mode" and you will find options.

I prefer TWRP Team Win Recovery Project.

Settings/about phone/build number/ tap the build number 7 times till you see "you are now a developer" go back to previous screen . settings/developer/ and enable USB Debugging.

Google "twrp jfltecan" choose Americas version.

Google "Odin" download to PC

Run Odin on PC and turn off phone. Hold power/home/vol down/ buttons on phone at same time, when phone starts release and press vol up button only. Plug in USB cable to PC and phone port and wait to see Odin program show "added" then click cp button in Odin and add your downloaded twrp .IMG.tar file in that line beside CP.

Click start button and WAIT! When you see PASS in green you have recovery and now you can root add custom ROMs whatever you like.

Disconnect phone reboot holding power/home/vol up.. Once in recovery make sure you backup your device FIRST!!! All partitions to an sdcard.

how to use for telus SGH-I337M?

Hey Sn0wHookr! Thanks for these awesome links!

I'm a little new at this but figuring it out quickly..

So how would I go about using these links for a TELUS branded SGH-I337M ?

(I am currently running stock 4.3 TELUS ROM, rooted, running SuperSU and I have with TWRP recovery).

Do I just install the BELL ROM with odin and per your instructions and then do then factory reset and it will upgrade my 4.3 to lolipop? Is that right?

Sincerely appreciate any help, please PM me if this doesn't belong here. thankyou!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] m9999:
You can download the TELUS stock 5.0.1 Rom from Sammobile.com and flash with ODIN. If you lose your recovery or root after flashing, you can follow my instructions given here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60188793
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] connormacleod:
That's great!!! Thanks so much, I think I'm comfortable giving this a go now. I originally gained ROOT on my 4.3 by using ODIN to flash TWRP and then installing SuperSU, so I'm comfortable with that process if I do in fact lose root.

I've read a lot of posts that say you should unroot your device before attempting to flash a new stock firmware... but based on what I've read in this thread for this particular update... it doesn't seem like it's really necessary to unroot first, is that right ?

I finally got the modem OC4 loaded on my Bell S4 this afternoon. The modem download link from OP seems having issue. I have to extract the modem.bin from firmware file. Flash it twice in odin as I usually did.

I received an error when I tried to flash just the modem; it said something about receiving a message from the bootloader.

I'm on a old bootloader; I'm guessing that's why. :confused:

If anyone has seen this type of error please let me know if you might know of a solution; thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] m9999:
Yeah, you don't have to go to the trouble of unrooting. I didn't have to unroot before flashing the stock rom, it automatically removed my root and recovery when I upgraded. I'm on the stock telus 5.0.1 rom with the oc4 modem and with my AWS mod still intact. Let me know how your process goes. I would suggest getting the rom straight from Sam Mobile btw.

i think something is wrong

so i had 2 options, first was to download 5.0.1 Rogers rom from sammobile, and the other was a 4.4.2 rom from chainfire.

I went with the safe side and used the sammobile rom, followed instruction properly, and everything seemed to be okay. Flashed with ODIN, and it took like 9 minutes and it said PASS, then phone was rebooted in recovery mode, then normally and finally it was working again. When i checked if my phone was rooted with an app, it said i did not have any root, and i installed Superuser, and it said i did not have some binary installed, so im wondering what went wrong here, did i miss something, do i have to unlock some boot-loader thing for my phone?

i might just go with [MENTION=5213025]mxcoy[/MENTION] and use the chainfire rom, but is the 4.4.2 safe for all phone model and builds (i have a OTA updated 5.0.1 Rogers SGH-1337M).

this is the sammobile rom: sammobile.com/firmwares/download/45777/I337MVLUGOC4_I337MOYAGOC4_RWC/
