This sounds weird to me...

Maybe you are running a wrong ROM, causing issues?!?

I would also recommend to switch to TWRP.

But first:

What is the device-ID/model number on the inner label?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] IronRoo:
I see, that makes sense to go back to test original modem. Yes probably just bad reception draining battery, I have this problem at home as about equal distance (far away, mostly red colour on graph) from about 5 towers so it's always hunting and draining battery. But it's the same with all modems. Currently I'm using the CPI1 modem here in Australia (the one on this thread, was Italian Vodafone I think) works great.

Hi to all!

I'm a ghost user (moto x 2013) but my wife buy (i don't know how) a s4 mini (i9195L) version I9195LUBUCNJ2 but i read that i can flash the modem for improve the signal... Puerto Rico have the same version in 2014... Can i flash the most recent modem of Puerto Rico? Peru (PET) version dies in 10/28/2014... If it's YES, can someone want to help me this version (newest of Puerto Rico) --> I9195LUBUCOI2

https://samsung-firmware.org/es/download/GALAXY%20S4%20mini/5p19/PCT/I9195LUBUCOI2/I9195LUWACOE1/

Thanks in advance!

Sorry my bad english...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
I see a few of the providers in puerto rico is using base band freequency 1700, the same as the latest version from mexico, who is your provider so I can double check to see if any of those might be useable in the future?

I am downloading the latest PCT and TCE as we speak, I will extract the modem and make it available later.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
Downloading firmware and will extract modem files.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] CsR0501:
My provider HERE IN PERU is Entel
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
I see the freequency used by your provider matches the Puerto Rico PCT provider and also the Mexican TCE provider, I will make the PCT modem available aswell as the TCE modem in about an hour, you can decide which one you will use.

PCT has release date sept. 24th 2015 (changelist 4967338)

TCE has release date Feb. 2nd 2017 (changelist 4883119)

I have I9195XXSCQAN, Knox 0x0, original 4.4.2 fw, and signals are weak.

I want to try suggested modems.

What thread/topic dou you suggest, a manual, to upload a newer android(N7), and modem, without brick my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
I would like to know your provider info.

As a guess, the first one I would use would be CNK5, if that doesn't improve, I would use COB1.

Your knox won't be triggered by this, it is a standard Samsung firmware and Samsung download mode / Odin flash being performed.

Does Heimdall work on the S4 Mini?

I keep getting "WARNING: Empty bulk transfer after sending packet failed. Continuing anyway..."

It also says "MODEM upload successful" same for the other 2 files.

Any way to check what modem you have installed?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
You can use Phone INFO *samsung*
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cancunia:
Do you mean "About Phone" from "Settings" ? There's no Samsung option, Baseband Version has not changed, but I noticed the SuperSU binary was overwritten.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
Search in Google play for the app, it will show alot of info about your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] JimmyRay:
I've only ever used Heimdall to update the baseband.

It always works fine...I don't recall the exact status messages shown, but don't believe they were negative/warning.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] kabelgleichung:
I use heimdal to update modem and also got those messages. Update succeeded anyway. Did you remember to flash the modem file twice?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cancunia:
Thanks for the replies, I flashed twice via Heimdall and then also twice via Odin as I wasn't sure about Heimdall at the time. I'm not sure where is best to check that the modem has changed. I'm guessing it's 'Baseband Version' I need to look at?

Seems there's an open issue on Github re Heimdall & Samsung devices:

https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/issues/388
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] kabelgleichung:
Exactly!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cancunia:
I checked the Baseband Version after flashing and as far as I can tell it didn't change. I've since reverted to the backup I made before flashing just in case there were other problems.

I'm in the UK on TalkTalk (Vodafone) and often get signal problems due to being in a fairly remote rural area with marginal coverage so was thinking a later modem might help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] IronRoo:
strange that it is not sticking when you've flashed with 2 different methods. You are booting straight back into recovery to flash the 2nd time aren't you and not letting system boot in between.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cancunia:
Thanks for the hint! There's a chance that the system did boot in between the 2 flashes. If time allows, I'll make another backup tomorrow and try again. As a matter of interest, what's the reason for 2x flashing with no boot in between?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] IronRoo:
edit: oops I answered the wrong question, first time, that was meant for another post I read earlier!

On some phones the modem files need to flashed twice in a row without booting into system (I forget the actual reason) (turn off automatic reboot)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] PtosekL:

Save data by flashing

Hello everyone!

I have a S4 Mini that's stuck in a bootloop and I can only enter Odin mode.

I was told I might fix this by flashing the exact same build number/version to the phone because that won't update the bootloader, problem is I can't figure out the exact android version (because it won't start nor can I enter recovery mode). I have another phone of the same model though and that phone has 4.4.2 so I was thinking I could maybe gamble and try flashing that version and hope the bootlooping phone has the same.

Any advice on this or where I might find more information?

I've downloaded modem I9195XXUCPE1 android version 4.4.2 for the task.

Update

The device was successfully flashed with Odin but it did not solve the bootlooping problem. Any suggestions of what I might try next or is this a hardware issue?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] IronRoo:
Not clear from your post if you realise the following. The modems on this thread are just a tiny part of a stock ROM, they will not fix a bootloop as they do not contain the OS, bootloaders etc. You need to use a full stock ROM as originally released by Samsung to fix bootloops/bricks. Custom ROM's like Linage do not change everything on a phone, things like the modem, bootloader etc from stock are not changed. That is why this thread has separate modems collected from some countries/carriers that can be flashed to keep them up to date else they will remain the same as what was on the phone originally. You can download the FULL stock ROM from websites like sammobile etc. I would recommend you do not just download from some random link as these files may have malware added, only get from trusted sources.

Latest Modem: I9195XXUCQG1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] fankool:
thank you. Do you know if there's a changelog?

Another question: I went to sammobile (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4-mini/GT-I9195/) but I found only older firmware version (nothing with QG code). Where did you find it? You also reported:

Security patch Jul. 01. 2017​

what does it mean? I thought it was a peculiarity of a rom, not also of modem. What aspect of security is improved?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
The changelog is a bit difficult to find, since the changelog number is regarding the kernel changes, there isn't a specific log for the modem part.

The firmware is obtained from Updato, which is regarded as the database of latest official released firmwares.

The mention of the security patch date, is to notify that it is from the latest available firmware, if there has been some changes to the modem within the security patch, these will be part of the modem provided.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] fankool:
Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cancunia:
Maybe the answer to my questions below are in amongst the earlier replies, if so please point me in the right direction.

I cannot make sense of the naming conventions for the Modems / ROMs.

For Example I9195XXUCOL3

This is an O2 ROM for the UK

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4-mini/GT-I9195/O2U/

I9195 - OK, that's fairly self explanatory

XXU - Region ? Are these defined anywhere?

C - ? - This letter increments in the O2 ROM list on SAMMOBILE from A-C but does not seem to relate to month or year of release

O - ? - This letter increments from M to O in the ROM list but does not seem to relate to month or year of release

L - ? - This letter changes on each build

3 - Build number?

redjamesg has kindly put a collection of modems on Android File Host, but I'm unsure which ones are for the UK?

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=97304

XXS is for ?

XXU is for ? Most if not all of the EU ROMs seem to be XXU so maybe that's it.

Sorry for the possibly daft questions, but don't want to load the wrong modem if I can help it!

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] IronRoo:
To two most recent ones in your link do seem to have the dates listed messed up, but if you check the 3rd one the dates & letters match as you would expect. I think you will be safe to assume the last 3 letters of the file name are correct (not the dates typed out) so as long as you are choosing later/higher letters/numbers you will get the latest modem files.

As for the two letters after the XX, I've not seen definitive confirmation what they mean. But people from all regions have been flashing them with no reports of problems, (one user may have had battery drain, but it was not confirmed it was because replacing xxu with an xxs, nobody else reported this ) so long as your phone is an xx (international) version, though personally I've j just used xxu modems as that was what my phone originally had.

(As redyamsg mentions earlier there is a possibility some extra functions may be lost if you use modem from different region, but again nobody has ever reported this on our I9195 phone, that I recall)

Edit: don't forget to make a backup of your modem & csc with TWRP or another app before trying new modem

Edit: O=year L=month
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cancunia:
Thanks for the reply & clarification regards O&L in my example being dates, after some looking around on other archives yesterday I came to pretty much the same conclusion about the dates. I think the dates on Sammobile probably relate more to when the ROMs are uploaded as opposed to released.

The UK ROMs on the following site, mentioned in one of the earlier posts, match the naming convention for the last 2 alpha chars in the filename:

https://samsung-firmware.org/de/model/GT-I9195/region/EVR/

I flashed the Modem in post #1 yesterday without issues, thanks to redjamesg for extracting them. I still have a reception problem which I thought was related to a Lineage overnight update, but looks to have been a coincidence with a local service outage. At least I have a later modem now!

I borrowed the region codes below from another thread, interestingly the US & Canada are not in here so there are probably a few other gaps too.

Slightly more regions are in this post, but still gaps I think:

https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15134

REGION CODES

BD Cyprus, Greece

CP Finland

DBVietnam

DC Thailand

Would still be nice to know the meanings of the other letters 'UC' mean from my original example.

The story so far:

I9195XXUCOL3

I9195 = model

XX = Region (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom)

UC = ????

O = Year (2015)

L = Month (Nov)

1 = Build Number
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
Just to clear a few things, you have it almost sorted out, the U in UC is for Unbranded release, an S here means supplier branded, the C how ever I have never found a reliable explanation to.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cancunia:
Thanks for the feedback, good to know I'm on the right track. Strangely the example I used is for an O2 UK ROM so not sure what is meant by 'Unbranded'?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
Unbranded means nothing added by vendor, supplier branded usually means extra stuff added like SIM tools, extra settings in SMS handling, additional software merged into system/priv-app (unable to uninstall without root), and customized home screen.

Essentialy when using Unbranded it is the touchwiz provided by Samsung without anything added by the carrier, even tho it might be specifically to certain carrier.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
Are you using a functioning USB cable?

Do you have the correct drivers installed?

If you could provide me with the files you are trying to use, then I can create an ODIN flashable .zip file of those.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Oriceles:
Yep cable is okey, not stock or samsung brand, but I've been using this as my daily driver. Yup both samsung and adb, also used zadig and worked properly. As final edit says, it seems that the problem is my operator, I was able to connect to H+ a while back but it doesn't stay like that for long, I also have all the requirements to be elegible for LTE and I've been unable to get LTE since I got the phone and line, totally weird. I'll wait and visit customer support to see what they can say about it. As for the files, I'll upload them to AFH or Mega in some minutes.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
I am not sure, but I seem to remember having heard about the LTE not working on the I9195, something about the radio chip not supporting it, I could be wrong tho since it's been a long time since I heard it, anyway ODIN flashable of your supplied files: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939821583
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Oriceles:
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind and try with the SIM card from a friend to see how it behaves. Other than which is kinda off-topic... I decided to retry returning to LOS, but then on boot I got tons of messages of phone has stopped and a lot of pop ups of things like that, so now I'm going back to stock and get all the device data first to see what I can do. to fix this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Oriceles:
Okey I went on Google about what modem could actually work for me on my region and the closest are from Brazil and Chile which use the same bands and technology:

Mine:

Digitel GSM

GSM-900 (GPRS, EDGE)

900 MHz UMTS HSDPA HSUPA HSPA+,

1800 MHz LTE

Other that can work from Brazil

TIM:

GSM-900/1800 (GPRS, EDGE)

850/900/2100 MHz. UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+

700/1800/2600 MHz LTE

This is according to Wikipedia, and also make sense since TIM used to be major holder of Digitel until 2005.

So, if I plan to apply that modem all I have to do is flash the brazilian rom with Odin and then move to a custom rom right?

Edit: there is something else bugging me before I proceed next and is the fact that in this thread and previous one modems are flashed via AP button, but on other videos and guides I've found they all point to flash the modem at CP button...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
Well it is best to use a modem/firmware related close to the region you're in.

If you flash the entire firmware, then you will also get the modem from that firmware, but your phone will be factory reset.

From there on you have to root/install TWRP and then flash the custom ROM you want to use.

The reason you want to flash the modem for I9195 as AP, is because it is a special partition under the firmwar location that you either access as the partition (CP) or through the firmware filestructure (AP), on other samsung devices like the SM-G9XXY, the modem is a specific partition by itself, so there you have to falsh it as the partition specific direction (CP)

I have been so gracious to download the latest TIM firmware, and provided both the Firmware itself and modem isolated through Android File Host, this should give a faster download rate than what sammobile would provide, the firmware is zip compressed to reduce size, so unzip it before flashing through ODIN.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Oriceles:
Ohhh thank you very much!, that explains what I wasn't able to find anywhere else haha. Imma try to flash those now!

EDIT: thanks to the TIM software you provided I'm finally able to reach H+ :D , I'm pretty sure I can get LTE on areas that are not so retired as my home haha.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] o0chtm0o:
I don't understand you. All "TIM's" firmware are from Italy. I don't see any TIM from Brazil. There are just ZTA and ZTO.

By the way, do you have any Brazilian modem please??

Strange, it seems I'm alone to ask you about the differences. How can I choose the best modem to install?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
There is no direct way of telling, the performance of the modem revision is entirely a combination of your location and cell provider.

The best advice is to give each one a month of everyday usage and see which performs best for you

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Mr Creosote:
Is there a limit to how far you can downgrade the baseband? For example, if the baseband file came from firmware with an older bootloader than the currently installed bootloader?

I need to flash MJ7 or older baseband, but the phone has the newer bootloader from the 4.4.2 firmware, and I end up with no mobile or wi-fi connectivity when I flash it.

I'm carefully following the instructions from the first post in this thread, plus I have successfully flashed modem files in the past, so I can't think of anything I could be doing wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
There are certain hooks from the bootloader to the modem recognition in order to initiate it at boot time.

Maybe you have a combination where the modem isn't initialised correct.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Mr Creosote:
thanks. is there any way to find out which combinations of bootloader and modem will work, short of trial and error?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] redjamesg:
Trial and error has always been my approach
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Mr Creosote:
thanks. so it should be possible to install MJ7 or older modem on a device with a newer bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ditroban:
Hello guys! Unfortunately my USB of the phone is broken. Thus I cannot use ODIN to flash the modem. Is it possible to do this with TWRP? Maybe with the complete firmware file (~900 MB)? I saw it's a .zip file.

Nope you cannot flash that zip actually it gives you error if you want stock touchwiz KitKat you can try this Rom

Thank you A140 for the hint! But I couldn't see from the description whether the ROM also updates the modem. Does it?

I have big problems using mobile internet with T-Mobile (DTM): 2G and 3G heat up the phone, LTE doesn't even work. It's not the case with a Vodafone Sim card. Therefore, my point is to update the modem, not the ROM.

Got the Verizon LG V10 shortly after its release.

MM update was released prior to my ability to buy a ZeroLemon 9000mAh battery. Installed MM.

Finally was able to purchase a ZeroLemon 9000mAh battery. Cannot currently root MM and need to calibrate my phone to the 9000mAh capacity. Following ZeroLemon's instructions has not been helpful, have also tried many other instructions (phone off, charge to 100%, turn on, charge to 100%, phone off and back on, charge to 100%, allegedly done), etc.

No love.

When I hit 1% and the phone turns off, I can perform a battery pull and reinstall and phone reads an additional 45% without charging.
