Got the same problems. I don't know why. And I don't know how to solve it.

I simply flashed again and again and again. And on some point it succeeded.

I have always flashed modem/bootloader in my S4 (GT-I9505) with the very same cable, an old genuine S2 data cable, and always worked at first attempt, never used Odin version above 3.09, so you might give it a try with an older than 3.12 Odin version.

Late to the party.

A question about I-9505G (Galaxy S4 Play Edition). The latest firmware for this phone is I9505GUEUDPF1. The installed firmware on the phone is **OH2.

I wonder if XXUHQC1 listed in the first post for I-9505 can be used for this phone. QC1 seems more recent than PF1 and the hardware is the same. I plan to install Android 9.0

Appreciate response if anyone knows or tried it.

Thanks in advance.

I hope this thread is still alive:

Do i have to keep something in mind when flashing a new kernel, will i encounter a complete data loss or something?

Otherwise i would just do it, -apps backup of course-, because i cannot flash new modem driver !!!

Please help me !!!!

Take a look on my new S4 Unified Guides/Collection.

You need to find a kernel which support the ROM you have, otherwise you will have bootloops etc.

Hmm.

I´m getting stuck and dunno if I should make the next step in order of beeing afraid of ruining my s4. -->update bootloader with heimdall

what if non-hlos.bin is

not

selectable in heimdall and therefore cannot be added to the partition list. There is only apnhlos.bin available in heimdall.

In the tar-file GT-I9515 (jfvelte) - I9515XXU1BQD2 or GT-I9515L (jfvelte): I9515LUBU1BQF1 non-hlos.bin lacks.

I do not really get it ... should i not renew the files on my GT-I9515 partly?

hi i have some doubt regarding choosing the right file to flash , so recently i just bought a secondhand samsung s4 (GT-i9500) , i have wifi issues with this phone which cant enabled wifi on , i was refered from youtube tutorial to flash this file but im confused which file should i flash , because according to Phone Info sam my csc is from Malaysia but i live in Indonesia . should i flash the modem suited for the firmware which is malaysian firmware or should i flash the modem for indonesia compatible. Usually i would read all the reply to find the answer but this thread has over 300 pages . thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
The Modem & Bootloader version must be the same version with your Firmware to be able to enable WiFi.

Check my ⚡S4 Unified Collection & Guides⚡. I include the latest available Firmware, Modem & Bootloader for all variants.
[Galaxy S 4 General] owenfernaldi:
But the firmware doesnt have to match csc country or anything else , does it ? As long the firmware match galaxy s4 model (mine is gt i9500) , and then i should match my bootloader with the same firmware ? And 1 more thing , do flashing wrong modem have a risk of bootloop?

Thanks in advance btw :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] owenfernaldi:
This is my device information since i dont understand well enough with term (bootloader , baseband , modem)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
Try to flash the latest modem of your variant, from the collection I provide in the thread I mentioned.

As I said the Firmware you have installed must match with the Modem & Bootloader you have installed. (at least the Modem - to have your WiFi working). Country (CSC) doesn't matter.

I don't have ur variant but I am 99.9% sure you will not have any problem by flashing Modem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] owenfernaldi:
which file you dont have have firmware / modem ? . i tried to download from the link in your thread , but no mirror link provided for ja3gxx . if there's no luck for me ,is there any solution to make my wifi works ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
Try refresh page, or try again later. Sometimes AFH have issues. I just tried and got link working.

If you still can't get it, let me know.
[Galaxy S 4 General] owenfernaldi:
Thank you for your help ,the link works ! Unfortunately still no luck for me , after flashing the modem , wifi still cant turn on , i think i will try flashing latest firmware you provide , do you think it will fix the problem ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
Make sure the modem is flashed correctly. Try using the app which you took the screenshots before and check if modem version changed to the latest.

If it's changed and didn't worked, try to also fresh install the Firmware.

I have been trying to download the GSM only version of XXUHOL4 and it keeps getting an error on Mega :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ereniemis:
Hi there,

About 2 months ago I've updated to MM, tried around some ROMs, flashed through ODIN latest modem, NON-HLOS, bootloader. But the wifi keeps disconnecting now and then. It's like everytime the wifi signal drops under 50% the data stops going in or out. And when I reconnect, it just say "connecting" and then it disconnects again. Doesn't matter which router I connect to. I have here 2 routers and plus there's the eduroam in the next building and it does the same for me. I've tried differnet ROMs, different modems, but the problem is still the same.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Checked the links and they seem fine. Make sure you've got an up-to date browser,

like firefox and that you press the grey "Download trough your browser" button. :good:

Some MM ROMs do have problems with locking the signal and it sounds like this might be more of a kernel problem,

but if you've tried several, I doubt it. What modems have you tried and have you made sure that they stuck?

As far as ROMs go, I'm using the latest OptimizedCM from here, with the OL4 modem and have zero problems.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ereniemis:
I'm currently back to GPE 5.1 but the problem is still present... The modems stick. The optimised CM13 is the only one i havent tried yet. But, can there be difference between flashing solo GSM and noh-hlos and flashing them combined? Cause I've always So far updated them as combined package not solo each one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hawkerpaul:
By "modems stick" I assume you mean they don't update in the flash?

If this is the case, then you're probably going into download mode through the power menu of your ROM.

You need to get into download mode properly by powering your handset down and entering download mode by pressing the VOL-DOWN key as soon as you feel the device vibrate whilst pressing the POWER key.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
I've always used the combined, but trying can't hurt! There shouldn't be any difference thou, as Odin just copies

the files inside the .tar archives to appropriate partitions inside the phones memory.

I'd reccomend you try the PA1 as it should be the latest date wice, the OL4 only has the greates changelist and as

Samsung doesn't want us knowing what the changes are later build date might be a safer bet. :good:

P.S. I noticed that you're using the google play variant and I'm not sure that the modems work with it.

There shouldn't be any difference, but you newer know. If you have your old modem and bootloader at hand,

I'd suggest that you try to revert back to them. :rolleyes:

P.P.S. After some googling, I noticed that tht I9505G has some minor differences compared to the I9505. You probably should check this site.

Sammobile doesn't have specific firmware for the I9505G, so I'm not sure how you could revert to an older modem. :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ereniemis:
I don't have the i9505G, I guess that's just the GPE rom displaying it that way... Inside the phone its standard GT-i9505 (FCC ID: A3LGTI9505, SSN: -I9505GSMH). I'll try the old XXUHOA7... the oldest XXUGNG4 doesn't work anymore with LP, the wifi won't turn on at all.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ereniemis:
Let's call my problem unsolved... I've put in my old motherboard and the wifi works. So, no problem anymore. But it's strange...
[Galaxy S 4 General] HdX75:
Hi

I'm having trouble to use my phone.. as a phone.

The signal keeps disconnecting often. Sending SMS is hard and making calls is nearly impossible.

I tried many baseband, I'm on XXUHOL4 right now but I have the same results with OJ2, OL3 and PA1.

Also I tried different roms RR, CM13, CM12..

I can't find anyone with the same problem, any idea ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
If you've also flashed the appropriate bootloader and NON-HLOS when changing modems, I'd say it's a hardware problem :(

Have you tried stock ROMs? Or KitKat? I think you should give them a shot, as using a stock ROM (In my opinion) is a better choice than fixing a hardware problem :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] HdX75:
Yes I always match modem and bootloader and flash non-hlos. I'll try other roms. Thanks for your answer

[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
You'll have to extract the tar.md5 file too. Inside it you'll find the different system files, from there the OP has a guide how to make Odin flashable files.

I recommend that you use 7zip for extracting the file. :good:

thanks did it but now after flashing got

"insert sim card" . no network

I have a simple question - does it matter if I flash modem from software released for my country or for other? I have some problems on custom rom which could be baseband-releated but I'm ot sure if I should flash XXUHOL4 (the newest) or XXUHOJ2 (the newest for my country).
[Galaxy S 4 General] cenonmin:
Just want to get some advice...

I have been using VJUHOK1 on Optus in Australia and so far this has been the best modem for me.

But sometimes (not that often) the signal does drop and takes a while for it to reconnect and sometimes I have to toggle airplane mode or reboot to get it working again.

I tried XXUHOL4 but that was worse so I was wondering which among: XXUHOJ3, XXUHPA1 or XXUHOL3 would be best to try for Optus?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
I noticed you're flashing I9500 modems. If you're using the I9505 they won't work. But if you are using the I9500, please try to ask help on the appropriate thread, as this thread is only for the I9505, because that's the only device I have and can test on. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
They shouldn't have a difference as they're both the XXU variant. So you're safe to update :good:

The PA1 for sure! But if that doesn't work right (which I highly doubt) you should revert back to your old VJUHOK1 and jeep using it :)

Thank you, will try and give feedback :)

Baseband for O2 Germany Cyanogenmod 13

Hi there! :D

I am wondering what baseband might be the best for my S4. I am using a Samsung S4 with Marshmellow Cyanogenmod. I tried different baseband firmwares but ether my battery dies within 8-16 hours in standby or the telefon tells me "no sim card" all the time. Does anyone know what the best baseband for German O2 Provider is?

Many thanks to all of you great helpers!

Have a good day!

i try to flash pa1 and uhoj3 but nothing changes on my modem why ? whats wrong ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] laupuy:
You have to turn off the phone and enter into download mode with combo "power+home+vol-" or "power+vol-" (didn't need home for me)?

Don't reboot into download for flash with odin

o i see not working because i did reboot to download mode yeah ? but what is the different ?

But sorry, I'm not programmer or developer but simply user.

[Galaxy S 4 General] RowanDDR:
How do you backup your bootloader/baseband etc? Surely before flashing a new one you'll want to backup your old one in case it all goes wrong.

Also in OP.. Step 2 & 3 say to select .tar file... then step 9 says:

9. Repeat for the rest of the modem .bin files

What modem bin files?
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
OL4 has the latest changelist

PA1 is the latest as far as the dating system goes.

If you're uncertain, try the PA1 first and if it doesn't work use the OL4 :good:

You can't pull the files from your phone, so you would have to download them from elsewhere. But if you follow the instructions and flash all the three files, modem, NON-HLOS and bootloader, you shouldn't have any problems.

The guide needs a rewrite and I'm planning on adding some other guides, for heimdal, etc.

It does mean "for the rest of the .tar files" so I'll change it, thanks for pointing this out :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] RowanDDR:
Am I right in thinking that step 9 is not required if you're flashing what you call the "combined" (GSM and NON-HLOS) file with the bootloader, in step 3? i.e. they'll be nothing left to flash at that point?

Will I lose root or access to recovery mode when I update the bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Yes, if ypu flashed the combined file and bootloader, there isn't anything left to flash. And no, you won't lose root nor recovery mode. If you read the info above the guides, the bootloader only boots the system, it has no other affect on the OS :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] RowanDDR:
Thanks for the help, flashed OK. Now I am getting LTE indoors for first time ever! Coincidence?

Just FYI, in the latest version of ODIN (3.10.7), at least when I just used it, the box does not go green when connected. It only turns green after the flashing when it says "Pass!".
[Galaxy S 4 General] hawkerpaul:
It's never gone green when connected.....it goes blue (cyan), and then green or red depending on pass/fail.

Perhaps the colour is hard to see on your display.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:

what is the best way for learning best modem & bootloader ?

i have uhoj3 now but seems doesnt have any problem just i have a google services battery drain.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Read the OP!

In short, there isn't a such thing as "the best modem." If you don't have any problems on your current modem, don't change it.

Google services drain is caused by your ROM / Kernel / GAPPs, so try starting from there :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] FPSUsername:
Read again. He is asking the best way to learn of how to find out the best modem. Where to look for when testing, etc
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Ah, sorry, my bad :silly:

Checking your modem quality

You should have a tab in settings, that shows how well and how repeatedly your phone has locked on to a signal, WiFi and 3G.

In latest CM it's under: Settings - Battery and then click the battery detail graph. (See the attachment)

The more green you see in mobile network signal, the better. Green means you had a strong signal, orange means you had a weak signal and red means your signal disconnected. If there's white space, your mobile data was off at that point.

The WiFi will have a line at the points when it's been on. If you see a lot of small lines with gaps in between, your WiFi has some problems. This can be caused by the Kernel, but more likely because of the modem.

So if based on the above check you find that your modem could be better, all you can do is start trying different ones. One after another, check if the flashed files stuck, test for a few hours (at least) how good your connection is and if your satisfied, stick to it! If not, try another one :D

You can get pretty much every firmware from sammobile, but you'll have to make an account. See the OP on how to make flashable files from the firmware you downloaded.

If you notice some weird battery drain after a modem flash, even if the signal strength looks good, move to another modem. The one you flashed doesn't like your phones setup and it's likely it isn't worth changing for a single modem :p

And as far as the bootloader goes, just flash the matching one with your modem. If your phone boots and doesn't catch fire after doing so, your good to go :good:

GSM Modem for Cyanogenmod 13

Is there any GSM modem for Cyanogenmod 13
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
There aren't any specific modems for CM, nor any other ROM.

And Samsung hasn't made any firmware for android 5.1.1 or above yet, so all we can use is the 5.0.1 modems. If you want to update, just use the PA1 or OL4 from the second post and you'll be fine :) They're compatible with all the latest (and older) ROMs for our device :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] arfan.chatha:

[Galaxy S 4 General] islipfd19:
I'm using OL3, seems better on CM13 than PA1 and OL4, but it may also be hardware / location & carrier related. You should try each one and use the best.

[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Sounds like your phone is carrier locked. I don't really know anything about unlocking it, so try searching from elsewhere here in XDA.

Did you follow the guide and turned your phone completely off before manually booting to download mode? If that doesn't work, look from the OP how to flash your modem twice so it'll stick more likely.

I can look into that once I get home :good:
