Hello!
I have successfully installed nightly for i9505 (jfltexx).
Checking the phone settings I can see that this Baseband-Version is installed:
I9505XXUBMGA
I checked for other modem files in order to adapt to my local 3G service provider (Vodafone DE) and found this file I9505XXUHOF2_I9505VFRHOF3_VD2.
Question:
Is it recommended to replace modem file (=Baseband-Version)?
If yes, how do I have to proceed?
If no, why not?
I have already tried to flash "I9505XXUHOF2_I9505VFRHOF3_VD2.rar" using Odin 3.10, but then I ended up in bootloop with Samsung FW.

You are not in the right place. You need to move to general section.
@Yousvel: He's in Q&A, which is the correct place. General is for tutorials and similar stuff, not questions.
@c.monty: Changing the baseband to an Android 5.x version may help improve signal over a 4.x baseband. Other than that, changing the baseband won't "adjust" the phone to be more compatible with the carrier, so don't bother.

Ok my friend. When I wrote this it was in development section. Mod moved it .
Gotcha. Should have realized that.
I changed to a carrier specific modem (also Vodafone) and it didn't do crap. Same data speed, same signal strength, same everything.
Even if there were any changes, they are very small and unnoticeable.
You don't flash it as .rar. The modem files should have .tar extension. And you put it in CP field if I'm not mistaken
If you do want to flash a modem then check out the thread in the general section. Or search for the latest S4 lollipop baseband and download it.
OK.
My first attempt to flash another modem file failed.
I did some further investigation and found a firmware including a modem file fitting to my carrier and country: I9505XXUFNC4_I9505XEGFNC2_XEG
According to this instruction guide I unzipped the file and then extracted file "modem.bin" from this file I9505XXUFNC4_I9505XEGFNC2_I9505XXUFNC4_HOME.tar.md5
After this a installed modem.bin with Odin 3.09 and this succeeded w/o error.
However, when I reboot the phone and check the settings, I get this:
Baseband-Version I9505XXUBMGA
This indicates to me that the modem.bin from I9505XXUFNC4 was not flashed.
So, what went wrong?

Flash it again.
Flashing again fixed it.

Can someone help me with the terms used on the forum. I still have no post found.
Odin is a flash program where different files to be loaded. I have now flashed several times but I always do something what is told me. I would like to understand what I do. Can anyone explain?
What is the PIT file and what should I use?
Which version should I use of ODIN?
What do these files:
PDA

Normally you have a device whit one kind of firmware. Why so many?
Thank you for your help

What is the PIT file and what should I use? NEVER UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO . PIT is partition information table .
Which version should I use of ODIN?
Latest but i still use an old one .
What do these files:
PDA Phones firmware Kernel and OS and apps.
PHONE modem
CSC country specific settings networks languages etc .
A full firmware including modem and CSC is usually flashed via PDA .
Normally you have a device whit one kind of firmware. Why so many?
Flash modem only flash CSC only are the extra uses and some full firmwares are actually in the three parts so you would load all three .

.pit file
.PIT file is used for full flashing method, this is only advisable and useful for reverting back to original firmware when previously installed unofficial ROM or to fix softbricked devices like unable to boot normally.
Hello guys,
First of all, sorry for my bad english, I'm brazilian and I will not use any kind of translation tool.
I had installed on my phone Cyanogen but I downloaded the leaked KitKat 4.4.2 for GT-I9505 and for some reason some trouble occoured during the procedure on Odin. Now my phone starts with: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I've downloaded many many rooms trying to flashing but none of them worked.
So searching here and there I found that I should be looking for "STOCK ROMs", but I downloaded few of them and no results at all...Then I noticed that I should be using some files in the MODEM, CSC or CP, CSC (depending on the version of Odin I'm using), but none of those files I've downloaded had those.
The list of ROMs I have:
"I9505XXUFNB8_I9505OXAFNB8_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5"
"I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF_HOME.tar.md5"
"I9505VJUEMKE_I9505ZTOEMKE_I9505VJUEMKE_HOME.tar.md5"

"I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_HOME.tar.md5"
"I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3_HOME.tar.md5"
I cannot flash any of those through Odin v3.07 or v3.09.
Looking here and there on the internet I found that I should be trying to split the HOME files into 3 files PDA,CSC and MODEM.
I've downladed Cygwin with "tar" "zip" and "md5" packages and SplitFUS2.
But here is an exemple of what happends when I try to split any of those above:
$ ./splitfus2 -s -w I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3_HOME.tar.md 5

I've tried so many ROMs, most of them is official, including the Snapdragon "I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3_HOME.tar"
And I'm downloading now Galaxy S 4 (Snapdragon) GT-I9505 ZTM I9505VJUEMKE from samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505 to see if it will work.
ZTM is my country and mobile service provider, let's see if I can flash that one or if it will show the same error as the others above.

1. Stop of flash things without know what the **** u are doing.
2. You flashed I9505XXUFNB8 first with new bootloader android 4.4.2 and you cant downgrade ur phone now to android 4.3.
3. You only can download and flash I9505XXUFNB8 again and is all.
As I imagined

Hi,
i am trying to fix software on my note3 but i have problems finding the right files.
There is Bootloader, PDA, CSC and Baseband but i don't know how to upgrade it to the correct versions.
For example i found Version OK9 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/direct-download-bootloaders-modems-t3258803
But there is no file to update PDA, CSC and Baseband?
I installed the KERNEL file and it changed the Kernel. Did not try RECOVERY yet because i think it could overwrite the Custom Recovery TWRP that is installed now.
In older post i also found some "CP" files for OJ6 and OK6 and they installed new version for PDA but i can not find them for OK9?
Can anybody please explain the different files and how to find the right versions?
I downloaded two files to update bootloader and PDA to OK6 but i can only update the Bootloader but PDA Version does not change.
CP_N9005_OK6.tar.md5
BL_N9005_OK6.tar.md5
The first file is supposed to update the PDA or not?
CP is modem/baseband and it does not update PDA. AP is PDA. You can find complete firmwares from http://www.sammobile.com/. These packages contains all parts together and you can find installation instructions for example from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdDgaqsYrRs.

Ah i see, thx for your help!
Hm so maybe it could be a good idea to install a untouched Stock Rom first and then go to modified image?
I have now installed N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005DBTGBOI1_DBT Stock Image with Odin.
When i want to go back to this image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-lp-tw-rom-t3027148 is it enought to just install it or do i need to wipe anything before?
I don't want all the samsung adware...
Oh it even killed the philz touch recovery...

Hi,
I rooted my S8 (SM-G950U1, carrier unlocked) recently using SamPWND method.
By doing so my phone's baseband version was changed from the original G950U1UEU1AQH3 to G950USQU1AQDE from SamPWND.
Is there a way to flash the original baseband somehow? I have the original firmware files I downloaded from SamMobile.com
The other baseband version seems to be compatible with my phone since I can make calls and receive messages.
Should I even bother restoring the original baseband firmware?
I flashed the original CSC G950U1UEU1AQH3_G950U1OYM1AQH3_XAA using Comsey Odin (the original Odin was throwing "FAIL! Model dismatch fail" error).
That didn't update the baseband back to stock version though.
I can probably use something like "Partitions backup" app from Google store to restore a partition, but I don't know which partition that is and where to get the original baseband partition image for G950U1UEU1AQH3.
Thank you!

I used the Sampwnd method. The first time I flashed with stock. I then did the samPWND. I didn't have any issues doing it in this order.
I saved the samPWND files and somehow went back in to get them and half somehow was deleted. If there is anyway to send me a link via drive or anything like that it would ve greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I used files from this youtube video to root my S8.
Please check the description for that video for the links.

This will not work on modern bootloaders. Sampwnd is for version one only. See the PartCyborgRom thread for a modern (and mucb simpler) method, no stock necessary

I think I am good for now, the phone is rooted, working perfectly and I am not planning to update it any time soon, unless somebody finds a way to remove the charging to 80% restriction in this engineering kernel
Can somebody tell me what's the latest baseband and how to flash it pls?
I flash roms all the time but some of the TW based roms don't give me any mobile network and they usual require a certain baseband. My current one is
I337MVLSGQB1
If the baseband isn't in the https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att section as a flashable zip using TWRP, you'll have to download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash the baseband extracted from the ROM zip using Odin. That will guarantee the latest baseband gets put on your device.
Thanks for your reply
But won't that just flash the entire firmware causing me to have to unlock and flash recovery and root all over again?
If your phone is unlocked from its carrier, it stays unlocked even if you change ROMs. Also, I misstated what you had to do to get to the appropriate files. After downloading the large file from sammobile, extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. You should end up with a .tar.md5 file. Rename that file to .tar, and extract the files within. The two you want are modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin. Those two are then flashed using Odin.
Of course, you could do the adventurous thing and download one of the existing flashable modem zips, then replace the existing modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin in the flashable zip with the versions from the stock ROM package.
Forum for the sgh-i337m is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att
Oh I downloaded the Bell one and saw the modem.bin but didn't know which other one was needed so thanks
Rogers, Telus, and Bell use the same stock ROM with a bit of customization on the sgh-i337m; therefore, you can cross-flash the modem, bootloader, and system as they are the same.
Oh cool. You've been a great help, thanks for the info
So i updated to QB1 but not getting any cell service when i flash certain i9505 roms like Super Touchwiz v6, Machinex or something like that, Imperium v18.1. Some require QG1.
Would QG1 or any other baseband/bootloader/modem be able to work on my Rogers i337M?
I know this phone usually can flash any rom that is for the i9505 so just wondering if it's able to go that far as to use those as well
I would not cross-flash bootloaders or modems as invalid modem/bootloader combinations may hard brick the phone.
You may need to flash a different kernel when using custom ROMs desgined for the i9505.
Okay
