Could you check if XXUHPF4 bootloader is missing sbl1.mbn?

After I install XXUHPF4_BOOTLOADER.tar and XXUHPF4_COMBINED.tar

-getprop gsm.version.baseband returns the proper version (XXUHPF4)

-getprop ro.boot.bootloader returns the previous version I used (XXUHPA1)

I've tried Odin and Heimdall with identical results.

PS. Thank you for your dedication and time. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
In the original modem thread _Bon_Bon said in may this year that 'at some point Samsung removed the sbl1.mbn-bit'. So not all BL have it.

Edit: checked my collection and for instance HOD7, HOJ3 and PF4 don't have the sbl1.mbn either.

I have WiFi issues like not even starting switching the bootloader modem will work again I press WiFi just turning light blue then goes back to gray
[Galaxy S 4 General] stefanovicm90:
Yeah I guess Samsung is not really consistent.

Anyway I fixed my issue by making a backup, downloading the 1.5GB I9505 firmware from updato, flashing with Odin and restoring the backup.

Only then my bootloader updated to XXUHPF4.

Weird issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
I'll have to look into that, It might be, that Samsung is hiding the file elsewhere, or some other part of the firmware is needed :confused:

Who knows! It's Samsung after all...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ian_Salas:
hi, i have a question, i have an i337m from México, and im using Ressurrection Remix my baseband is i337MUMUGOK1 and my bootloader is i337MUMUFNE2,

its XXUHPF4 compatible with my phone? i've tried to upgrade with Odin but i get Auth error.

if its not compatible which Modem/bootloader should i have?

EDIT: Im asking because i want to install imperium v15 but the thread says that i have to upgrade to XXUHPF4 in order to flash the rom.

thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Using a ROM depends on your hardware; if you can run a (any) ROM, build for the GT-I9505, you should be OK. And that depends on the installation scipt of that ROM. Did a quick read of the thread and according to this post, you can't use Imperium rom on your device. Sorry.
[Galaxy S 4 General] freeridz:
will this fix the imei null/baseband unknown problem on GT-i9505?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Probably not. I would advice to flash last stock ROM for your device from Sammobile and start from scratch. Hopefully that'll fix your problem.

Edit: just saw you also posted in the original thread and that Laupuy answered you the same. Don't you have a nandroid backup of an older build?? Otherwise I have no solution.

[Galaxy S 4 General] HIS YB:
Please guys Is there a way to clean the bootloader, I think I have done a wrong flashing of the PF4 modem several times?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
As I answered someone else in post #295, running a rom depends on your hardware, not modem or bootloader. According to the thread you can run Slim80 on your device. But ask your questions there, to be sure!

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

You should be able to flash another bootloader, to get rid of the one you have now. But follow _Bon_Bon's instructions in the OP! If that fails, you can flash the official stock firmware for your device from Sammobile and start over.
[Galaxy S 4 General] choujij:
I looked but am still unsure. The phone can run hot and sometimes fails to make calls, where it never did before running the CM13 Optimized Stable 1 build. I figured the baseband needs to be updated and will resolve any overheat/sim/cellular issues. I am worried if I flash the wrong baseband, I won't be able to revert back or flash another. Could I trouble you to assist me in figuring out which one (if any) would work? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] reinoso:
Hello,

I have a problem with wifi after flashing latest modem and bootloader (XXUHPF4). I went from XXUHOJ2. The phone is i9505 (int).

Now the wifi is not activating anymore, even going back to XXUHOJ2. I'm using CM12.1 SNAPSHOT official and lately CM13 nightlies.

Could you please give some advise? Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Do you switch off phone before booting into download mode?? Try PA1 modem/bootloader, for me that works best. If all fails, flash stock Sammy firmware for your device/country and try wifi there; if all works, root again, flash TWRP and re-install ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] reinoso:
Wifi is still dead after flashing PA1 modem/BL ... and even using the stock samsung firmware.

This problem came after flashing a newer modem/non-hlos only, keeping the stock old bootloader. Maybe this fact could explain my broken wifi?

Any help??

Thank you.

Follow the instructions (first post) for Using HEIMDALL: both Download and save the device’s PIT file and Updating your baseband using downloaded modem files, but also add all other files (sbl1,2,3, aboot, tz, recover, system, etc). I downloaded firmware from here, unzipped it and utarred it.

Any solutions, why my phone wont accept PF4/PF3 modem? I'm using latest JDC CM 13 ROM
[Galaxy S 4 General] laupuy:
I think you make something wrong. Read the 1st post carefully.

Try by turn off your device and then start in download (power+vol down)

Untick autoreboot in odin, after flash, then you see pass, restart your phone (long press power).

[Galaxy S 4 General] droidblitz:
Yup i also have countless PM on how to do this. :D

This method really works for me 2x flashing it does the job done. :D i hope it will help a lot specially those newbie to this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Good info for newbies, but I would suggest to use Odin 3 V3.12. a) it's a lot faster and b) you put your bootloader in BL and your modem in CP (as most files are labeled). AP-slot is your old 'pda' and I only use it to flash official TW. On that last point, latest FW's are in the new 4-part zip(including PIT) and are safe to flash in this latest Odin.

Oh, I've never had to flash any BL/CP-file twice, although I read some people do (even 3x!) to get it to stick.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Apad121:
Hello

I came across this on XDA, it is the latest official firmware from Samsung and has HPG1 with July patch apparently.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/firmware-t3450851

Does this have a newer modem then PF4?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Lenny Bard:
I made a PG1 Bootloader and Modem for test my stock PG1 rom, if someone is interessed.

Download link : Bootloader Modem

Flash it with Odin, BL > XXUHPG1_BOOTLOADER.tar , CP > XXUHPG1_COMBINED.tar
[Galaxy S 4 General] Apad121:
Thanks for the reply

Does your combined .tar include the NON-HLOS as well as the GSM and the bootloader? Because I will be updating from HPA1.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidblitz:
PDA = CP the same thing.

I sometimes use 3.04 and 3.09 no problems for me. Files are being flashed successfully. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] xRandomLurker:
So uhh, my i9505 was running some older modem and because ive been having problems with 5GHz WiFi, ive decided to update the modem today to PG1 (provided by [MENTION=7551530]Lenny Bard[/MENTION]), I flashed it using Odin 3.12 and i rebooted, no luck (couldnt use SIM card?). I then rebooted again and tried flashing again but this came up

[Galaxy S 4 General] PePeMoke:

[Galaxy S 4 General] Apad121:
I believe HPG1 is the latest modem as it is the July one.

Please leave a like if this helped :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
XXUHPG1 Uploaded and marked as latest! Sorry for the small delay ;)

I also noticed, that the new firmware came with the sbl1 file again :victory: so now is a good time to update your bootloaders!

Happy flashing! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Apad121:
I can confirm that this HPG1 modem and bootloader works fine on i9505 in the UK. :)

It just took more than one flash strangely...

Also [MENTION=6082440]_Bon_Bon[/MENTION] what do you mean by sbl1?

Is there a way to get this thread as a DevDB update notification on XDA? so we can follow the very latest releases as soon as we log into XDA. :D

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] xell75:
I can confirm that the Bootloader works in the German I9505 too. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
For some reason Samsung decided that some firmware updates didn't need the sbl1 file, which is a part of the bootloader. For an example the PA1 didn't have it. But the newest firmware does :good:

And I'll check if the thread can be changed into a DevDB
[Galaxy S 4 General] Apad121:
Thanks for the info! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] easyyu:
But can you explain us, what is the purpose of that file?

Thx
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
No, only Samsung can. As samsung never releases any changelogs nor any documentation on the files (propaply for security reasons) no one can say for sure what they do. All we know is, "This is part of the bootloader, these are a part of the radio and this is the OS."

On a side note, I don't think I can change this thread to a DevDB one, without the help of a moderator, so I won't do that, sorry [MENTION=7189179]Apad121[/MENTION] :/
[Galaxy S 4 General] Apad121:
Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate it.

I just thought that it could benefit the thread as people could "follow the project" to see updates quicker.

Anyway thanks :)

Thanks, I tried again on another computer (same distribution, same patchlevel) with heimdall and now it shows the new version. I can't figure out why it didn't work before, the other upgrade worked right away. Moreover I am pretty sure I used the same parameters as before, I just flashed all the files at once with the downloaded pit. It wasn't in a VM though. Anyway, it works now. :)

[MENTION=6082440]_Bon_Bon[/MENTION] Do I need to install a driver, where can I download this from? Odin isn't recognising my device.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
You should get that driver if you just turn on your phone and plug it into your computer and/or boot your phone to download mode and connect it to your computer. But if that doesn't help, download kies from samsungs site and install it. Kies should also install drivers for your phone. Once the install is done, uninstall kies, so it doesn't interfier with odin. Don't worry, the drivers will stay :good:

I flashed the WIPE-version (with PIT-file) to re-write every partition on the phone, now it works like a charm. This firmware-package seems to be optimized for Europe (OXXHPF2 Open Europe CSC) but i should work on other regions, too.

Here is the direct link to the ZIP-file, thanks hypo59 for creating that firmware package: https://mega.nz/#!xxRVBJrS!LsJJXyLGKEjcJgf7YsEdsUY_8XvWP2RHM8eiAYQbBh0

I already installed samsungs latest drivers, tried upto 5 different odin versions, including the one given by OP, I dont have kies.. Its kind of a long story but just read the full info that has lead to this.

So I bought this barely used Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) from a guy. It came with android 4.2.2 and a boatloader/Baseband of SC04E0MUAMG2 and when I boot on it shows ntt-DoCoMo before booting up (so am guessing it was locked before, it came unlocked because every SIM I have tried has worked, and also it came rooted).

The issue is I really want to upgrade to Stock Lollipop or a custom lollipop rom like Aurora or Albe95 roms, but each time I try flashing a stock rom using Odin, it says fail (usually its when it gets to ' NAND write start, Auth fail '). Since Stock refused working I decided to try Flashing a custom rom using a custom recovery, it flashed successfully but when I tried flashing the modem and boatloader for the custom Rom, Odin would show fail again, I tried if on every port on my system and even unticked F.reset and auto-reset, but the result was still fail.

So I bought mobile odin pro to try out the stock again, it did install the stock but it was buggy, camera wasn't working, Mic wasn't working, the back button wasn't working. I just had to remove it. Currently am on Imperium 12.1 custom Rom( i installed it because it didn't require flashing modem and boatloader. The only problem is camera and Mic still won't work on this rom, but when I go back to the backed-up android 4.2.2 everything works fine. So yeah, that's my predicament. I am clueless as to what to do next so please help me out. I would really like to use a stock or custom Rom. Any help would be great.

You could try repartitioning your phone using a PIT file, but that is dangerous. If you're willing to try it anyways, here's a link to one pit file I found: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2326381

Just tick repartition in oding and give it that file in the third tab.
