Hi

we meet again :)

I found this firmware

http://www.gsmforum.ru/threads/221072-G920F-(Galaxy-S6)?

it contains pit with 100MB for hidden.img

I downloaded but haven't flashed yet,

too many flashed in the last couple of days. :)

edit:

just compared the 100mb pit with the one currently on my phone using this tool

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916936

the differences are - larger hidden.img in expense of userdata
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirkard:
Hi :)

That kinda make sense to me.cause before i flash a european rom with pit file i had less user data i don't remember exactly but it was like 200mb less.

Would u share that new pit with larger hidden.img?i mean just the pit.i will test that and share the resault here

I can still flash one or two more roms. :)

well it didn't for me.again fail on hidden.img proccess

any special recepie?i just used the pit file with XSG firmware and odin 3.10.6
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
I added the pit to the tar and than flashed the tar. Without ticking something special in odin.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirkard:
How do you do that?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
If you're on windows - download 7zip and make a new tar with all the files from original firmware+the pit file
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirkard:
ok,just double checking to make sure i do not make any more mistakes.i should put the pit file here right?

download this file

flash it (and only it) as csc

reboot again to download mode and flash XSG (original - without added pit)

Flashing tar with pit file inside.the first way
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainman149:
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to modifying the files. I've happily flashed pre built firmwares from Sammobile for years, but have now hit this issue.

I have a BTU S6 phone, but want to put firmware from UK Network EE (EVR). I dont get the best of signals at home and want to try their WiFi Calling so see if it's any better. However you can only get this with the EE Branded Firmware.

I found out the hard way that you cannot put EVR firmware directly onto a BTU phone, the partitions are all wrong. it looks like you guys have come up with a solution to this problem. My issue now is how do I get your PIT file into the firmware that I downloaded from Sammobile.

I downloaded 7zip, but when I open the archive I get 'There is no correct record at the end of archive' I also get 'Operation is not supported' when I try to add a file to it. What am I doing wrong?

The files thart I have downloaded are:-

ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN-sb.pit

G920FXXU1AOCY_G920FEVR1AOC1_G920FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar.md5

I assume I just need to somehow get the pit file into the archive and use ODIN.

Sorry for the long post!!!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
You can extract all the files from the tar.md5 and make a new tar with 7zip which will include all files + pit.

There is also tar --append which will work but will break md5 hash.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainman149:
Thanks Omrji for the reply.

I have just one more question.

Do I just create a new .tar file using 7zip. I tried this with all the extracted files and the pit file. However when I add it to ODIN it didnt do the usual checks of the file. Do I need to create an md5 file and if so how do I do that.

Sorry to be a pain, but I dont want to brick my phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
You don't have to md5 your tar. It's up to you.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkstripe:
I'm trying to exactly the same thing. Trying to put an EVR rom. I've tried with ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN-sb.pit however, that pit doesn't succeed in Odin. however ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN100M.pit successfully (it appears) to flash with Odin but still no joy with flashing the ROM :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
Add the pit to the tar and try again.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ctzw:
My Sprint HTC M8 is on 4.25.654.14 (Lollipop). I want to downgrade the OS to 4.4.2. So I looked at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

I downloaded Sprint_HTC_One_M8_1.54.651.10_RUU.zip, extracted 0P6BIMG.zip, and renamed it to rom.zip. Run ARUWizard.exe & follow the steps. Here is errror I met:

ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

How to bypass this error and downgrade the OS in RUU? Your help is appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
You can't downgrade unless you are s-off.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ctzw:
Thank you, BD619. Can you please point me to a thread that shows how to free S-OFF my M8? Please forgive me, I am new to HTC ONE.. (I owned an EVO 4G long long time ago)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
The only option is Sunshine which is $25.00.

None of the free methods work on the M8 anymore, due to HTC patching the exploit.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ctzw:
That's bad..... Not sure if I would spend $25 on that..... I am looking at the tutorials on how to unlock and root the phone. Does that mean, I can still flash custmoized ROMs through CMW or TWRP? If yes, then what functions are restricted with S-ON (besides downgrading)?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
[Tutorial][Resource][Root]Unlock-Recovery-SuperSU for HTC One(M8)-Sprint-m8_whl

S-OFF is not required to flash roms...however most of the newer roms require your firmware to be the latest, meaning everytime there is an HTC update you would need to update your firmware in order for the rom to work correctly.

Being s-off makes it alot easier to update firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imaxuout:
Hi to everyone who has been having problems with domestic unlock, after updating to OD2 lollipop.

I myself have been experiencing some problems with OD2 and domestic unlock, one of which is the "INVALID SIM CARD". I did not get any service after updating. I tried downgrading my modem to NG2 and i got service, but the wifi was not working. I tried every other modem available to the SPH-L720, and the still the wifi did not work. So i worked night, and day, trying to figure out how to make it work. Then i thought to myself, hmm... why not create my own modem?? and so i did. It is currently working on OD2 stock lollipop.

**NOTE** This is ODIN flash-able. there is a .7z file inside the zip file, it must first be decompressed.

!!USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

For anyone who is wondering how i did this: Here is a short video containing, the simplest way of creating the modem. it is in a zip file. it is .mp4 format. Do not upload it to youtube.

Could you provide a little more detailed info on what you mean by "created your own modem" ? This is a risky partition to flash to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imaxuout:
Exactly that is why i said "!!USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!". For if i had to take the time to explain to you what i did, and how i did it, that would be a waist of my time. i have real work to do.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jstntp:
We all just need to know what exactly you did so we can be sure we don't end up with bricked devices. Flashing a bad or wrong modem could possibly turn a device into a paperweight. That's the point we are trying to make here.

Please keep in mind that if in fact this is all good, it could be a VERY popular mod!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imaxuout:
I HAVE FLASHED IT ON MY DEVICE SEVERAL TIMES. NOT ONES WAS MY PHONE BRICKED. MY PHONE IS THE "SPH-L720 16GB", NOT THE TRI-BAND MODEL. I USED THE "MUNIZ_RI L720_OD2_Stock_Rooted_ROM".

***NOTE ***I DID "NOT" ATTEMPT THIS ON ANY CUSTOM ROM'S .

I AM ON ULTRA MOBILE, WHICH IS AN "MVNO" UNDER T-MOBILE.

HERE IS ANOTHER PEACE OF INFORMATION. IF THE MODEM/NON-HLOS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE, IT WILL NOT FLASH (VIA ODIN3 V3.09), IT WILL FAIL. AND NO YOUR PHONE WILL NOT GET BRICKED. IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH KNOX, OR JUST FIRMWARE I DO NOT KNOW.

DOES THAT HELP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jstntp:
Ok, good info...... but how did you go about modifying the modem itself? A short version of what you did would be fine..... maybe a link or two to what resources you used? Modifying or "creating" a modem is not very common at all. If it were, there would be custom modems all over the place.

Thank You.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jstntp:
Alright...... because your video shows how to make a zip file, but doesn't show how to modify/create a modem.

Just to clarify, the modem you posted in the OP was modified by you personally? And it unlocks sim access on OD2? So anyone who flashes it on a sprint L720 (non tri-band) stock rooted rom will be able to use their phone on T-Mobile or another GSM carrier?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imaxuout:
you would fist have to unlock your phone the regular way like over here before you have updated your rom/firmware/kernel. to OD2.

and then you will have to update the modem to the one i uploaded to remain unlocked after updating to OD2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jstntp:
Probably should include all those type details in your OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imaxuout:
if you read my op, you would then know that i stated, after i updated i got an "invalid sim error". That would suggest that i had previously been unlocked, and that after updated it was locked again.

I assume that anyone reading my post would understand that, because he or she had the same issue and knows how to unlock a Samsung SPH-L720 running MDC,MDL,MF9,NAE,NG2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jstntp:
Alright....... but again, just to clarify, you modded the modem.bin file yourself?

That's the info I'm trying to get out of you....... what is it that you changed in that .bin file to get unlock to work on OD2?

I know that the NON-HLOS.bin file wasn't changed at all from the stock version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mastmaker:
If you observe his video, he is combining NG2 modem.bin with OD2 NON-HLOS.bin. Now, I don't know what function each of those bins do, but I am pretty sure that OD2 'modem.bin' is what you need in order to have OD2 baseband, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jstntp:
Oh now that's funny! I did not catch that because I didn't watch it all that close.

So...... NO..... he did not modify any modem.bin file...... he is just using a the NG2 radio and calling it OD2!

I think we are done here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] optimummind:
Well, has anyone with domestic unlock on NG2 try his file on OD2 and retain domestic unlock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mastmaker:
OD2 domestic unlock

Yes, I did try. No, it doesn't retain domestic unlock. It says 'invalid SIM'. Fortunately, I could flash NG2 back and all is well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imaxuout:

what you posted before was ##rtn#, that's to undo domestic unlock.

if you read everything word for word, than you would most probably have had a domestic unlock by now already.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Quickvic30:
I did read, your instructions are horrible and broken English. I just did it the old fashioned way and all is good. Thanks for the quick replys though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imaxuout:
It is not broken English.

It clearly states, "To undo any and all of the changes that you are about to make to your phone".

This part, is the unlock instructions.

No. 1) = No, you do not need to downgrade.

No. 2)**NOTE** when your done with steps below(UNLOCKING STEPS), download BuildProp Editor(you must have root).

Click on the pencil icon, and scroll to the bottom. When at the bottom, add these two lines:

ril.sales_code=LOL

ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

save and reboot.

with sim inside the apn should be set automatically. If not, well then google your apn, and add it manually.

done.

(UNLOCKING STEPS)

This is a re-post(i would thank whom ever posted this, though i do not recall where i found it.); because i am to lazy, to write it from scratch.

1. Use ssu.apk to unlock it first

2. use cf auto root to it

3 .use adb:

su

am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378

UMTS -> DEBUG SCREEN -> PHONE CONTROL -> NETWORK CONTROL -> GCF

There the phone is domestic unlock without downgrading the modem.

1. be on stock NG2. ssu.apk force-closes on aosp/custom roms.

2. Run ssu.apk and do the unlock. This does not require root.

3. do the other commands through ADB(step 3 Above), this step DOES require root.

4. Test your sim card and make sure your phone can read it, and if possible, make a call, try text/data, whatever.

You're Welcome!

Seems like some people here didn't take you too seriously bc of your somewhat disorganized writing style & perhaps your low post count but great job figuring this out for us & sharing.

After flashing to muniz's stock rooted OD2 using FlashFire, I also received an Invalid SIM message. After flashing your hybrid modem, I got the domestic unlock back. Baseband is NG2 with working WiFi, HSPA+, voice, & text.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jstntp:
I'm glad that the mod works for you (and hopefully many more)..... don't get me wrong. I did say in one of my posts this could in fact be extremely popular.

The only damn problem I have is @imaxuout was not willing to give a little more detail about what he did. Flashing a modem/radio is not the same as flashing a 5-way reboot mod. Much more risk is involved with the modem. And when asked if we could get a little more info,

@imaxuout congrats that your mod works..... I do mean that sincerely! Just please reconsider how you deal with a public community you are developing for.

Thanks, imaxuout. But, as of now, I am on NG2 baseband with a rigged 5.0.1, so I am doing fine. I will be - patiently - waiting for two things:

1. OD2 baseband with unlock working.

2. Lollipop debloated version (Negalite? I loved it for 4.4.2) with 'unlock' OD2

OR

without any baseband.
