Did you turn your phone completely of, before booting into download mode using the button combination? And if that doesn't work, did you follow the instructions on how to flash the files twice, without booting the OS? And if that doesn't work, try using heimdal.

P.S.

Use the combined file, the separate files aren't really intended for flashing. They're there only if someone, for some reason, hapends to need them separate :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] NeosHaruki:
I booted into download mode by the power menu (imperium rom)

And when you mean by flashing twice without booting into OS, how would the device turn itself off when flashed at least once? Un-tick Auto Reboot?
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
All the instructions are on the OP. Don't use the power menu, always first turn off your phone and use the button combination :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] NeosHaruki:
Alright sorted, thanks mate
[Galaxy S 4 General] walttheboss:
On the OP it says for Odin repeat steps 3-8 for the rest of the files. Why if I flashed the modem and Bootloader together? What other files does it mean?

Thanks for help.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
When you've flashed the tar-files, you don't have to flash anything else. The 'repeat steps' is probably meant for all the separate files inside the tar, allthough I don't understand why you would do that ...

[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
What rom and kernel are you using? Did the problems start after you installed a rom or all of a sudden?

Also, if you only flashed the non-hlos, try flashing the combined package and the bootloader, all from PA1. This way you can be sure, that nothing is conflicting with the firmware. It might be possible that you chip is broken, if it connects and disconnects randomly.

my current modem and bootloader is XXUHOJ2
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
If you flash the combined packaged, both modem and non-hlos will be updated, but not bootloader. You'll have to flash the bootloader package, to update it.

Odin failed

Hello,

I updated to the latest XXUHPA1

Modem & bootloader-update works without problems. But if I try to flash the combined package or the NON-HLOS Odin shows me "failed"

WLAN is working, so I think the faield flash did not destroy anything.

Anyway I had a bad feeling flashing NON-HLOS without backing up my old before. Could anyone tell me how I can find out my NON-HLOS-Version, then back it up, then flash the newest? method here failed.

As for your odin flash fail, try flashing on a different USB port and ensure you are using original USB cable

[MENTION=6082440]_Bon_Bon[/MENTION] or anyone else who can lend a hand,

Canadian Bell SGH-I337M JFLTEXX user here... just wondering if using these Modem and BL files to replace my current 1337M stock "VLUAMG1" versions with these i9505 XX versions would cause any problems at all?

I have been running i9505 ROMs alright, so it doesn't seem to be a problem on that front, but I am hoping to install CM13 Optimized ROM and it's recommended that the latest "XXUHPA1" version mentioned in this thread is installed.

Because my variant is basically an i9505, will using the XX / i9505 Modems cause problems being here in Canada and using Canadian cell networks, etc., or should it be just fine, and frankly highly recommended as well since my current Modem + BL haven't been touched since 2013? lol.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
You can flash the latest modem without problems. As you said, your variant is basically an i9505, so the files should work fine. And if you're really upgrading such old files, I'm sure you'll see some improvements :D :good:

I know it's a stupid question

But forget me pleas

And i don't know which files should i flash

Thank you and i'm really sorry sir
[Galaxy S 4 General] laupuy:
Hi,

To resume op, you need

both bootloader and combined modem gsm&non-hlos

(it's modem for gsm & 4G/lte/wifi fix):

- Turn off your phone

- start in download (don't reboot in download from power menu)

in odin:

- put bootloader in BL

- put combined gsm&non-hlos in CP

then connect your phone (odin should recognize your phone) and start flash

with this app PhoneINFO you should see your new modem (CP) and bootloader (BL)

enjoy :)

But HOJ2 is a good one, it's the latest lollipop for many country ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] abdelkader azhar:
Thank sir for your replay

I really appreciate

You said that HOJ2 it's a good one

But why the developers of Marshmallow say that we should update the baseband to latest

And thank you again
[Galaxy S 4 General] abdelkader azhar:
Thank you sir for helping me

I did as you told me

Every thing done with success

And now a have the latest bootloader and the latest baseband

Thank you so much for your help

Everything looks fine. No errors or weird behavior while flashing... Start my phone and it's with the old modem/bootloader still. What the hell?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hawkerpaul:
Power off completely then get into download mode. Never use your rom's power menu to get into download mode

It's in there ;) Step five, when using odin
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dv2y:
Yes, I saw that. It's not clear tho, at least for non-native English speakers. In my mind, rebooting something means that it will turn completely off and then turn on again. I did not know that the ROM's Power Menu doesn't work that way...

Anyway, that worked. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Scarface47:
Is there any flashable ziped modems/baseband files?
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
The I9505 doesn't have any and (as far as I know) can't have any flashable files, because of security limitations.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
It doesn't depend on ROM. If your wifi is good and your cellular/phone reception is good you don't have to change anything! Only if you have problems, you can try another BL or modem.

Sim Issue

I have a situation with a Serbian sim card that I can't seem to solve.

I have a Samsung I9505 running:

Bootloader: XXUHPA1

Baseband: XXUHPA1 Combined

Kernal: Albe95.LolliRom

Version: 5.0.1

When I put in a Serbian Sim card from any of their carriers I always get "Insert SIM Card to access network services" however when I put in a Polish or UK sim card the I9505 connects to a network. When I put the Serbian sim card into a cheap Samsung GT-E1170 GSM-Dual Band phone the Serbian Sims work.

I have tried numerous different Basebands with no luck.

Could anyone shed some light on how to solve this issue?

[Galaxy S 4 General] ralfbergs:
I'm pretty sure that it's best to always flash the latest modem, regardless of which country and operator.

Reason is: Operator-specific versions exist since operators usually have customized ROM builds, compared to vanilla/open market versions which were created for the general public, with no customisations for anyone. These customized builds need to go through an acceptance phase within the operator. When the acceptance is passed, then this specific FW build is released for the specific operator, including certain modem versions for 3G and 4G.

Development of modern code within the device vendor continues. Whenever they find an issue they fix it. Whether these updated modems ever get released to a certain operator depends on the operator - they might not have more updates for that specific device on their roadmap (an acceptance test is very high effort and therefore expensive), or the operator might have an update on their roadmap at a later point in time, so that an even newer modem will be included.

(Edit 2016-07-17: For the reason of high cost explained above, it is not true that "vanilla" or "open market" ROM versions are tested by operators. These ROM builds are released by the manufacturer themselves, just based on their own internal testing.)

Also FOTA updates have to be tested and released by each and every operator, this is why not each FW build is available for every operator.

Finally, don't forget roaming. Basically every GSM/LTE device needs to be able to work in any such network in the world. This is why it makes sense for fixes for a certain network (combination of country and operator) to be made available to all operator's firmware builds.

TL;DR: It seems clear that it's best to flash the latest modems for a device, regardless of operator.

PS: Same reasoning applies to boot loaders.

PPS: There might be reasons why you can't upgrade your boot loader because it would lock your device, but I'm not discussing these special cases here...

Does this mean that updating to XXUHPF3 by samsung means we're not left alone yet? (Hoping for Android Nougat)
[Galaxy S 4 General] FPSUsername:
I'm 100% sure that sammy will not release new android versions for this phone. They will continue making 5.0.1 stable and that's it.

Sammy releases about 2 or 3 android versions per device. I know why they don't release it rapidly, because they want their phone to run stable and not be full with bugs such as (now) the jdc roms have with the usb bug. Besides stable builds, they want good security.

For custom roms, I'm sure we'll get android n builds, I think somewhere in November/December as how we got mm roms. The first 5 build will be not great for daily drivers as most mods (like xposed) and some apps will not be compatible or not functioning fully. It is always best to wait 2 months after a first release, if you really want to try it, dualboot it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jantdroid:
Well, that's kinda sad. I'm actually using the Optimized CM 12.1 by JDC it gave me the best battery life ever vs stock rom and the CM13 ones, I'll probably just wait for the stable build and test if the battery is better than 12.1 though.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
You got the international model, so you can use any of the bl/modems _Bon_Bon has listed in post #2.

The latest/newest you can try is the XXUHPF3; on my S4 I use the one before that (XXUHPA1), because my phone-reception was not so good on the latest one. You can try both, but switch of your phone completely and go into download-mode using the buttons and flash both bootloader and the combined gsm/non-hlos items through Odin. Have fun!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Giuliana Zoey:
I already have twrp bootloader :) you mean to say I can now flash gsm/non-halos? :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
No, TWRP is the recovery. Your baseband (or modem) is seen in your screenshot: XXUHOB7. It doesn't show your bootloader. My screenshot is made with an app, Phone Info Samsung, and shows my bootloader and modem beïng XXUHPA1. So if you want to flash another one, see the instructions in the OP.

How To Get Samsung Firmware The Easy Fast Way (Windows) Using Samfirm

1. Visit this thread for info and download link (Ignore the depreciated bit in thread it still works GREAT)

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

2. Download the latest version.

3. You may need to download .NET Framework 3.5 if you haven't already got it installed (links in thread where you downloaded application)

All info including screenshots in other thread. I've used this on my gt-i9505 and had no problems. Just enter your device name in "Model" ie Gt-i9505 and in "Region" enter your region code. (See Attached)

Here is a link to all Samsung CSC and Region Codes

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mfCHCpCpPJwOur-V3S5Zmmi9mLZH4wPFZZQBbWyS-rs/edit#gid=2050731693

4. Make sure Auto Checkbox is marked (Unless you want to enter everything PDA, CSC, Phone tbh i never have)

5. Then click Check Update and it will go and find the lastest firmware for the device you specified.

6. Click download and wait

7. **IMPORTANT** When download complete click Decrypt and specify where you want it saved ie Desktop. This will decrypt the download turning it into a usable file for Odin

Thanks to [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] for his Original thread and [MENTION=6082440]_Bon_Bon[/MENTION] for this thread :D

2. Add guides and files for I9500 and I9506 (maybe even i9515), so the whole S4 family is supported

(Will be done cleanly, don't worry ;))

3. A little surprise :P

I'm not sure and can't really check for you right now. If you want to know if you can use the files here, you'll have to look how different your hardware is compared to the I9505.
