Firstly, thanks for the files! But I can't seem to update my bootloader.. 'Auto Reboot' on/off, 'Phone Bootloader Update' on/off in Odin 3.10.7, 3.09, 3.07

Odin reports 'PASS!' but when the phone reboots, my BL is the same.

I never had this problem before, is there something I am missing?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] stevtec86:
Guys i have one question:

I'm usng Odin V3.10.7 for flashing the tar file content modem.bin+ NonHlos.bin. I put in the CP Slot, start the flashing, but when i reboot, i have some, many FC, the bootsound there isn't, the rom is instable. Why ?

If i flash only modem.bin all it's ok.

Thanks in advance for reply
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Power your phone completely off and then boot to download mode using the button compination, not using the reboot option.

If this doesn't do the trick, untick auto reboot and manually turn off the phone and then re-enter the download mode and reflash the files

Try the combined file and if that doesn't do the trick,

I'd suggest you flash the bootloader too, to avoid any compatibility issues.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jackal575:
Done! Thanks, I don't know how I overlooked this detail in your guide.. :silly:

Reboot menu is just too convenient I guess haha

Thanks again :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] gruntyoldbag:
The problem with the "untick auto reboot and manually turn off the phone" - trick is that it can not be done.

If you untick auto reboot, you have to turn the phone off manually using the button, but when you do that, the phone reboots automatically every time.

What I do is to quickly hold the 3-button combination when the phone has turned off, then it reboots into download mode.

But if you are not fast enough, the phone just reboots and nothing has changed - as far as I can remember - I might be wrong....
[Galaxy S 4 General] jimbomodder:
Yes but I've also found all u need to hold is volume down and it reboots straight to download.

[Galaxy S 4 General] alundrum:
Possibly a dumb question, but does this guide apply to carrier-specific S4s? For example, I have a U.S. Cellular S4 (R970) on baseband version R970TYUGOE2. Will I be able to flash a XX modem and bootloader without issue?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Z-Blade:
By any chance you can store these files some other sharing site other than Mega? For some reason I always have issues accessing and downloading files off Mega.

Not an issue if you cant or dont want to, you are pretty quick on packing these and its just a bonus to able to get it sooner rather than a day later lol.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
If the model is GT-I9505, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't apply :)

Let us know how it goes!

I don't really have another alternative on hand. I might at some point offer mirrors at mediafire.

You do use an updated browser? Something like Firefox or Chrome? Mega has an plugin that makes downloading more secure and reliable for those, so I'd suggest you try that :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] CRzz:
I have some odd wifi issue with android 5+... when the phone is idle it does not keep wifi connected when though I have enabled Always on in the advanced settings.

This is probably releated to doze power saving.... But it should still be connected right?

Normally when I push the powerbutton to "activate" the phone I see that it connects after a few seconds (about 5 seconds).

I have the same issue with both of my daily driver phones (Samsung Galaxy s4 GT-i9505 and Sony Xperia Z3).

Both behave the same whay, when they are on android 4.4.4 then they work fine but once I update to later firmware they get this issue.

....I posted about this in the Sony section, one lad telling me that I could try to enable the Developer Options --> "Use Legacy DHCP client"

--- But that didnt resolve the issue.

....and yes the wifi a Asus RT-AC66u is updated frequently, shouldn't be any FW issue there!

--- The guys at the sony section thought it was interesting that I had the same issue with my Samsung phone.

I think its an modem issue... Any ideas?

Hi, I'm running I9505XXUPPI1 on optCM13(Stable4) and have no issues so far.

Couldn't point out the difference to XXUHPG1 though, but it's newer anyway.

Hello ! I have tried the I9505XXUPPI1 modem and bootloader : on the Imperium LL Rom v16.0 no sound and impossibility to choose the ring tone. The phone reboot random continuosly !!!

Have you read post #366??

Sent from one of my Sammy devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mittaa:
It sound a bit strange! Why should I9505XXUPPI1 be radically different from prior baseband/modem/bootloaders?

Anyway - personally I don't want to mess around with original firmware, WIPE, pit-files and re-writing partitions (what ever) :eek:

IMO ... stay away from solution described in post #366!

[MENTION=6082440]_Bon_Bon[/MENTION] do you have any opinion regarding I9505XXUPPI1 ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Well, I just know it helped a lot of people that one way or another messed up their phones. I myself flash original FW occasionally, to get my phones absolutely clean before flashing new ROMs. But that's just my opinion.

Sent from one of my Sammy devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mittaa:
If my phone was messed up I too would make a total wipe and flash an original firmware, but only if it was badly messed up.

I wouldn't do it just because I wanted to update my modem ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] M-M-C:
i dont think the modem and bootloader has any impact on the sound and/or ringtone settings.

Btw, a lot of people are using the solution i mentioned in post #366 and #384, at least the people from the french forum. If you dont like it just dont use it
[Galaxy S 4 General] xell75:
I'm still on PG1 is there any difference compared to PP1? I mean I have to wipe and repartition everything for that modem and bootloader. Is it worth it? Just curious :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
I wouldn't know as I haven't tried it yet. (I don't use the S4 as my daily phone anymore) Even if it is possible that samsung did something radically new with the update, my advice would be: stay away from repartitioning, unless it's absolutely necessary.

But there will be a new section about how to download and install the whole firmwares (partitions included) AND go back to the custom setup etc. you used. For more daring users ofcourse ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] phyrexianrager2:
Yes thanks ! Now i have a S4 with original firmware but all is good !
[Galaxy S 4 General] Auron91:
Hi, I've flashed XXUHPG1 modem and bootloader on Optimized Cyanogenmod 13 but wifi disconnects continuously.. how could I solve that problem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] laupuy:
Hi,

Read OP: What is a modem?

A modem, sometimes referred to as a radio or baseband, is a driver that controls the sending and receiving of your mobile Network signals as well as switching between GPRS, 3G and HSDPA. It does not control Wi-Fi or the switchover between mobile signal and Wi-Fi. That’s the kernels job.

;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Auron91:
sorry, I meant i've flashed also the NON-HLOS.tar that should contain the wi-fi firmware.. maybe I shouldn't do this..

so when I use wifi, it often interrupts data transmission like there is no internet connection and even if wifi signal is strong, then the kernel switches to 3G because it thinks there is no internet over wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 General] laupuy:
Try the stock kernel (if you can) of your rom

A dumb question : how to backup bootloader? Is it same as boot.img backuped by TWRP?

Bootloaders are sbl1, sbl2 etc
[Galaxy S 4 General] vkopzon:
By mistake I got new non international device: ZHUFNB3. Is it safe to flash international modem/bootloader over it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] walttheboss:
Probably NOT. Different hardware.

Please tell the exact device.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vkopzon:
The device is same 9505...

Running JDC AOSP 6.0.1
[Galaxy S 4 General] walttheboss:
If its actually i9505 and not a variant. Then you are fine. Flash away.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Axl_Mas:
Any update about the latest (PPI1) firmware?

It will be released in this thread or due to the repartition issue it is safer to stay away from it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] JerwinSayat:
Whats the issue with PI1? Im currently at PI1 uploaded in this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tophee:
What exactly do you mean with "didn't work"? For me, it didn't work either, but I'm not sure whether it's the same issue as yours. For me, the new baseband and bootloader simply wont show up when I boot the phone after flashing. It just stays on the old version (I9505XXUHOL4). I tried it twice and the whole odin process just works fine with a green "Pass" at the end. But then everything is as it was before flashing. I am puzzled.

EDIT: I also tried XXUHPG1 but same thing. My phone just refuses to accept the new modem and bootloader. :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Apad121:
Hi there

Try use a different version of Odin, like an older version.

For some reason, some versions of Odin don't seem to work on modems....

Please leave a like if this helped :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 General] tophee:
I solved it following the instructions in this video (but still using odin 3.12, not 3.04 as in the video). The important thing was not only to flash twice but to reboot into download mode (and perhaps the resetting of odin, which I also did) between the two flashes. :o And just to be very precise: in the video, only the modem is flashed. I flashed both bootloader and modem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] deepakdavidster@gmail.com:
If you're rebooting to bootloader from the OS then it won't work, please power off and boot to bootloader via key combination, the flashing will work
[Galaxy S 4 General] tophee:
Interesting. I did indeed boot into download mode via the CM13 reboot option. So the reason why it worked when flashing twice was not because of doing it twice but because the second time was after booting into bootloader via the key combination.

I would be curious to understand how there can essentially be two different download modes and what effect that might have in situations other than flashing modem or bootloader...
[Galaxy S 4 General] tophee:
Hm, but I can flash a new ROM without powering off...
[Galaxy S 4 General] deepakdavidster@gmail.com:
Flashing the new ROM is not affecting the Boot loaders but only data, system,

May be a security feature in samung bootloader

[Galaxy S 4 General] abdelkader azhar:

Hello,

i have s4 i9500

operator Libyana in Libya.

Thank You.
[Galaxy S 4 General] b3wii:
..but i was on custom rom before...

I dont remember which bootloader i used before, is there a way to find out?

How can i get rid of the message?

Does this bootloader come with knox?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mittaa:
If you have a NanDroid backup of your EFS, you could try to restore EFS and hopefully get your IMEI (and network) back.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mvdi:
You can try EFS Professional on your Windows PC
[Galaxy S 4 General] munsuf:
I did but still not working. Thanks.

I need the right kernel for miui v8 on android 6.0.1 S4 I9500.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mvdi:
In your situation I would install stock Samsung Lollipop and try to get a running system.

Out of interest, why a miui ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 General] munsuf:
I like MIUI because it is very simple and beautiful.
[Galaxy S 4 General] andy hall:
If it vanished after installing that ROM you could try another ROM, sometimes it is just an issue reading the partition the information is stored in.

If the partition has been corrupted you have a problem.

Someone else may know how to rewrite it but that is a job and a half.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mittaa:
Isn't IMEI number stated on your purchase receipt or original box?

If you have lost your EFS and don't have a NanDroid backup of your EFS ... I'm afraid that you can't do anything :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] mvdi:
Have you tried my previous suggestion?
[Galaxy S 4 General] munsuf:
No not yat because I upgraded to miui v8 6.0.1 and still has the same problem.

I'm back! :victory:

And I'm sorry for the (huge) delay :P My laptop, the computer I do most of my work on, broke many weeks ago (as you can see from the picture attached) and getting it fixed took a loooooooooong time, thanks to our crappy postal service. After that I've had some exams and other stuff to occupy me at school, so it's been an eventful month, to say the least :D

But I'm back now and I'll upload the latest firmware files at some point today or tomorrow, depending on how long the download takes.

I'll also have some time to continue work on my projects, including the guide here, for the next few days, so we'll see how far I get with updating this thread.

As I remember, I did promise some cool updates ;)

--Edit--

And while I'm posting, would somebody be interested in creating a bat script, capable of flashing firmware using heimdalls command line tool?

I can create a script for it in bash, but that would mean linux only. And as I'm not that familiar with batch I would like to avoid creating it myself.

(I'm not making windows 10 users install WSL just to use a bash script script :P)

If you're interested, give me a PM :good:

Fixed some missing text from OP, who knows why it disapeared.

Added XXUHPK2 and XXUPPI1

Marked XXUPPI1 as 'not recommended' because I had to repartition my S4 to make the files work

More will be posted later! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] JerwinSayat:
Sorry i dont understamd why does PPI1 marked as not recommended?
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
I had to repartition my S4 for it to work correctly, before I did the phone couldn't connect to any network at all.

Some other people also had problems with it, so I just marked it as not recommended.

But there's a newer version now, so you can just use that safely :good:

Hey!

To properly create the firmware files for the other devices, I would need the .pit files of the phones.

I could try and download them from the internet, but I'd rather get the real deal if possible.

So can someone with one of the devices, I9500, I9506 or I9515 extract their pit file and send it to me (through a PM if at all possible) please?

You can find a guide from the 1st or 3rd post on how to extract it using Heimdall.

Thanks in advance :good:

_Bon_Bon I've a problem! I've flashed the last modem, I received a FAIL error and now the phone doesn't boot anymore.

If I try to reflash the modem and boot loader (I tried also old versions) Odin gives this error:

<ID:0/011> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/011> There is no PIT partition.

I9505 international

Do you have the correct PIT file to insert in Odin or I have to reflash the Samsung rom?
[Galaxy S 4 General] deepakdavidster@gmail.com:
So far the new modem HPK2is ok no issues
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Stock roms won't help you, unless they come with the pit file (which they rarely do) :/

But no worries, attachments are here! I included the most up-to-date pit file for the I9505 :good:

(I had to zip it, so I could attach it)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Axl_Mas:
My i9505 has reborned!!! Many thanks Bon bon, you rock!!!!

Now I am with the last modem/bootloader and it works perfectly.

ps: I found the cause of the bad flash, the USB cable: it is ok for charging, ok for file transfer to PC but it causes problems with Odin! I'll buy a new one before to flash the next modem update,

[Galaxy S 4 General] JerwinSayat:
As I can see in your post, you didnt power off your device (you rebooted to download mode)? And you can try to flash the modem and bootloader twice. After you successfully flash, and the do the same step again. Some users do that (twice flashing) without conflict.
[Galaxy S 4 General] davejimson:
I off my phone to bootup in download mode.

Anyway How do the flash, do I need to reboot again or just follow?
[Galaxy S 4 General] JerwinSayat:
There's a tutorial video in this thread, its in opening post. But here's what ive done.

-Power off the phone.

-Boot in to download mode by simultaneously pressing "power"," volume down", and "home" button (I think you know this one)

-Do the odin "thing" (I think you also know this coz you successfully flash as you said in this post)

-After you remove your Phone to the usb cord (its still in the download mode, coz you need to untick the auto restart in Odin) remove the battery to power off the phone and then repeat the steps again.

Ps. The double flashing is proven by some users like [MENTION=6753882]droidblitz[/MENTION] in his video tutorial, but in my case One is enough and its running well :) hope it helps you! Goodluck

BonBon's post that you are quoting is from April! Have you checked half way down #post 1 that there are links to all the files??

Did you download and flashed 3 times the original firmware? If so, your phone should boot as it is 'original' again. Or just modem/bootloader?
