This is my journey from Eclair to Froyo - read only if you have ample time. You have been warned !
I had never tried even rooting my Galaxy I5801 so I was a bit hesitant to upgrade my DDJG6 Eclair to DDJP2 FROYO even via Kies. After some days of the official release I finally plugged my phone to update. But alas, Kies constantly showed "operation timed out" (poor connectivity ?) and I was left with no other choice but Odin
DAY 1:
Downloaded the flashing package and the relevant firmware, connected and fired up Odin as per the tutorial. Loaded the packages and started the process with a prayer on my lips. The first boot nearly gave me a panic attack but the tutorial did calm me down and voila ! I had successfully flashed Froyo. Thereafter I also loaded my backed up contacts & memo data through Kies sync.
DAY 2:
I was happy with my effort and started explorin the possibilities of FROYO including app2sd. All fine until I decided to install a flashlite plugin later that day. The system starting freezin so I rebooted. The problem recurred and I again rebooted. This my boot screen got stuck on the "GTI5801 - Samsung" screen. I knew I was screwed but since I could access download / recovery mode (even though wipe data or cache didnt work) I knew it was only a "soft brick"
Day 3:
Geared up to reflash my phone through Odin. This time I took some unusual steps - removed bootloader & sbl and extracted dats.rfs from DDJG6 & added it to DDJP2 tar package. Flashing was succesful and I had started to sort of like the entire process.
Day 4:
Was disappointed with the improper implementation of swype so I decided to install swype beta. Root, delete, register and install - simple ? That's what everybody says.... Downloaded superoneclick, enabled USB debugging and rooted (Z4root didnt work). Now the delete process was tricky. Couldnt make sense of titanium backup so tried another method. Since root explored is paid app and terminal emulator is beyond my scope, installed super manager from market. Gave superuser permission and started deleting relevant swype files - I think it was 2 from /system/app, 1 from /system/lib and 1 from /data/data. Registered for swype beta and downloaded it as advised on the website. I write this post with swype beta.
Everything is working fine now - almost !
PROS - learnt flashing, knew the benefits of rooting, now can manage my apps and memory a bit better
CONS - My music player is screwed. For that matter, any music player I have downloaded and tried is having the same problem. The player doesnt play some music files, skips it or even if forced to play remains mute although the music play status bar moves. I checked the file properties and played them on PC. They are either Mp3 or M4a. Do I need to reinstall the music player coz it sounds like its become corrupted ? But then it plays some tracks flawlessly
I am in debt to XDA Galaxy 3 forum members and rudolf in particular for helping me out at crucial junctures. Now if only I could solve this problem !
jg6 is an eclair rom right? That could be causing problems, mizing eclair and froyo.
Did you do a factory reset after flashing (I suspect you did if you followed a tutorial).
Also, removing boot and spl is not unusal, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, always do it! (this is mostly for other people reading this thread)
Nice story... Waiting for day 5+
@stubborn - yup, i did a reset but the music player problem persists. I included the data.rfs file from eclair to froyo coz I was somehow convinced that its absence in the DDJP2 had causes my system to freeze the first time
@kyrillos - Day 5+ testing isnt exactly detailed. The only thing I noticed is that the battery drain was more than DDJG6 eclair or maybe its the battery bug acting whimsically (as it usually does). Havn't modified or tested the GPS so no comments. Installed Gingerbread keyboard but not exactly to my taste. Still using a combo of swype and regular tap.
BTW - ur ROMS are damn good judging by the features, performance feedbacks and screenshots. However, It will take me another leap of faith to flash one of those since the complexity involved is beyond my current level of expertise (or rather the lack of it !)
Any ideas / tutorials on deleting the stock music player app and reinstalling it (with apk files, if possible) ?
As you guys know, MM has started rolling out to the International Model D855!
I've been on MM for 3 days and quite satisfied with the update! Rom's seems faster and snappier, no more micro lag, juice seems to be better than LP tho... What you guys think? To all Lions, Share your thoughts and comments here! Cheers All!!!
Having problem flashing MM?
Use this method:
Reboot to twrp
2. Full wipe (data, internal card, system, cache, delvik cache, format data) All zip move to external card for a clean flash
3. Flash V2 zip - robalm's thread
4. Flash boot zip - autoprime's thread
5. Flash https://mega.nz/#!gxtwVBwZ!41S8Woy2y...HhK4gcGooK7OIo permissive zip (most important part don't forget to flash this)
6. Flash betasupersu 2.52 https://mega.nz/#!F8E02RyC!XeJhx4QZH...bVd14ccRYHbNKg ( no other version worked only this version worked)
7. Flash sharpening mod 3.5 and reboot system
To me this method works 100%
I've tried on 5 of my friend's G3 and all without fail!
4G ,Titanium and ext card works flawlessly

Singaporean user here, so far it's been fantastic on stock marshmallow. With 21c modem there's no problem when it comes to connectivity (I'm on Singtel and I get 4G just like on Lollipop). Battery life much better than lollipop (average about 3.5-4h SOT compared to 2.5-3h on lollipop).
Here's a features review I did for the new stock MM

currently only Poland has update via OTA or LG PC Suite. However, there are zip files and KDZ files available that you can flash on any D855.

Hi oceangreen,
Saw this thread late. Black screen, Red & Blue LED flashing problem after following autoprime's thread.
Some questions:
Step 5 - autoprime didn't have this! However, your Megasync link requires decryption key? Can u provide?
Step 6 - Is this the same as autoprime's SuperSU 2.52?
Step 7 - Is this the correct link to the sharpening mod 3.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/fix-sharpening-mod-script-1-0-beta-t2957648)? autoprime did not provide this! If I have no issues with the sharpening issue, can I skip this?
Thks in advance.
Is this still MM if use 21c modem ?

This thread really need updating - or at least a sticky note to say that the better thread to use is http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073/page252
Answer to some of my own questions:
Here are the mega links without requiring key

https://mega.nz/#!M5tkgDoR!eWGHs5O29...7uP6fiW-8pOwbw
you don't need sharpening mod if you use v2.52 see http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...ables-t3282012. with this method it's simple & root sticks
The SuperSU 2.52 is the same based on the hash files.

yes, modem only affects cellular and things like that. The rom is still MM
Does it have volte with sg telco
Followed the flashing guide to the letter - this V2 rom is great - but for only about 3 days.
After around the 3 day mark, the error message will flash "SIM card removed The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted."
The phone will reboot within 10 seconds (even if you go to airplane mode immediately). It rebooted repeatedly first time it happened.
Did a complete nuke wipe, flashed again. Same thing - at the 3 day mark - the Singtel SIM will show the same error and reboot. After that, SIM not usable at all. All telco signals (Singtel) will be gone. No phone, SMS, let alone data of any sort.
Think it is the problem with the modem.

(Download v2 (modem from v21c) -> https://mega.nz/#!OIlwGLKS!LlcNIImHK...EzSt_ikHlWj3yY)
Tried flashing 21A, 21B, autoprime's hybrid modem. Doesn't work. Anybody else encountered similar problems?
Flashed on TWRP 2.8.7 from Stock Kit Kat 4.4.2.

I have the same problem as you. except, I did not do the update and it happened out of the blue today. Been restarting my phone and if I am lucky, sometimes I get connected to the network for about an hour before the error comes on again.

Hi Matthew,
Saw your PM. Just to confirm that you have the same problem.
Error message - "The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted"
- Bar counts up to 100% before phone reboots automatically
This is apparently a very serious problem with Android going back a few years and a few Android OS versions (KK I believe). It happens with various phone models ranging from:
LG G4
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/43p26p/sim_card_removed/
Nexus - Google doesn't give a F*CK
http://androidforums.com/threads/sim-card-problems.467384/
Motorola, Nexus, Samsung Galaxy etc.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=66964
Google apparently doesn't give a rat's ass about it. As such it is very difficult to pin-point the problem. I have flashed & re-flashed robalm's V2 ROM at least 4 times, each time with a complete (nuke) wipe of everything including the Internal SD card. It definitely happens on the default modem (21C supposedly) that comes with it. Different modems have not helped. If you find one that works, let me know.
It cannot be a SIM card problem. Cos I've never ever taken it out since the day I got the phone. Once the problem happened, I've tried re-seating it, wiping the electrical contacts with microfibre cloth etc. Singtel shop customer service checked all the APN and network settings and confirmed it is correct, asked me to try the SIM card in other phones. Done that, nothing wrong with the SIM..
Googling further, some folks discovered that it is due to Google Apps (Play Store, Maps, G+, Gmail, Play Books/Games/Movies/Music/Services etc. etc.), which are system apps (as part of the ROM package), causing the problem after they are updated via Google Play Store. Don't we all update apps to the latest version, no?
I tried uninstalling all the updates for all of them (Settings>>Apps>>) and replacing them with the factory updates that came with the ROM. I usually freeze all the crap money sucking subscription based or in-app purchasing Google Apps that I don't use anyway. However, whether frozen or not, it still happens. Although not freezing any of them does seem more likely to cause the problem to become even more severe - like going into constant reboots as opposed to intermittent ones. When that happens, you have to go to airplane mode BEFORE the countdown completes and reboot happens. At least when it restarts, it won't hunt for the missing cellular signal and triggering another reboot. This then allows you to freeze the suckers more agressively.
It worked for a few days - I thought I had narrowed the problem down to Google Play Store, Play Framework and Play Services. But yesterday or so it has come back again with a vengeance. Freezing Google Play Store does not help by the way - besides what's the point if you can't use Play Store?
Problem is, disabling the auto-update functions on Google Play Store using:
(Play Store>>Settings>>General>>Auto-update apps>>check "Do not auto-update apps")
doesn't stop Google Play Store and Google Play services from auto-updating themselves! F*ck Google! You cannot prevent it no matter what.
Worse, everytime it auto-updates itself (or if you uninstall updates) - note that it will switch to the default setting of "Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only" again. So you have to be fast in going to Settings in Google Play each time you reboot and open Play Store.
Some netizens have suggested ADB command line means to cripple the auto-updating. But to me that is not the freaking point. It's about trying to isolate and find the problem.
You end up uninstalling updates for Play Store several times a day but when you find that the cellular signal is gone (no bars), you realise that it has sneakily updated to 6.0.5.
But even when I uninstall all updates for Play Store. It can still happen. Maybe less frequently.
No cellular signal is bad enough. The worst aspect is the rebooting. I tried restoring my beloved KK 4.4.2 Nandroid backup but apparently I'll have to find a compatible modem again as TWRP 2.8.0 (or my previous version before upgrading to TWRP 2.8.7 for this Marshmallow) didn't manage to back it up (even though I tick everything).
Still doing trial and error to try isolating the problem. The Google apps clue seems the more likely cause, but I can't say I can discern a definite pattern yet.
It could be a bug in Marshmallow 6.0. Maybe 6.1 will solve it. Maybe its the damn Polish ROM/modem.
In the meantime, I can only say - Do not flash this ROM! Without any cellular signal, the phone is not a phone. The constantly rebooting makes it useless!

Yes! correct. we have the same problem. I don't think it is a glitch on mm 6.0 because i was on lollipop 5.0 when the problem occurred and I have only flashed 5.0 roms and modems. can you try the candySiX rom and see how it fairs in your phone? CandySix Rom thread link
I tried it on my phone and was able to connect to tower until I started installing Whatsapp which cause the sucker to break and reboot. But that was in a span of 15 mins. I read that it could also be a GPS problem so I disabled GPS but the phone was still broken. From my understanding, your trail and error seems to point to the play store updating itself that causes the phone to break correct? so why not cripple it using ADB and as for the updating of apps, it be done manually through sideload. because i don't think that there will be many apps that need to be frequently updated right? and even so if we do not update the app, it does not mean that the app will lose its functionality??

Dude –punctuation please …
I wish it was that simple. I've used Android Firewall (AFSWall+) to BLOCK all internet connections for Google Play Store and Google Play Services. The sneaky bastards at Google can still somehow update the factory Google Play Store from to 6.0.5! Upon that happening, all cellular network connection WILL DEFINITELY be lost. It may or may not reboot after that.
The problem is definitely related to Google Play (Store & Services). But it is not limited to it. Even when it has not updated itself, the error message can still show up and the phone can still reboot randomly with the error message. That is why I don’t think using ADB to disable updates solves anything.
Google is definitely doing something very intrusive with their Play Store apps – (why should and) how the hell apps (even if system apps) can be allowed to affect the functions of SIM card and cellular network reception to this extent is beyond me. Big brother is really upon us.
Not keen on trying custom ROMs anymore since my S2 days. Especially when stock Marshmallow already cause so many problems. Maybe this needs to be posted in the other international LG G3 threads.

Hi guys ( @Preter @matthewmax09 )
my friend's SEA device started to giving your "The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted" error too.
did you solved this problem? can anyone tell a solution for this?
thanks.
Hello, I have unlocked my phone and flash stock rom nougat 7.1 with magisk, twrp and xposed. Three day after this process I try to install this two mods:
I - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-fingerprint-mi-5-mi-note-2-t3660179
II - https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/themes/sound-boost-nougat-7-0-t3684917
And My phone start to drop all wifi conections and bluetooth stops working. So I tried to restore 3 backups that I made first of wifi problem beggins, and didnt make diference. So I flash a new stock rom, with other xperia firmware from Xperifirm, and nothing changed. My wifi conection and bluetooth still sucks.
Here's my questions: is possible that this change break up my network board, is this a hardware problem? Can anyone know if there is a way to know if is a software or hardware problem??
Can anyone copy and post here the wifi (data/misc/dhcp) and bluetooth (data/misc/bluetooth) files to see if i can fix it?
In worst situation I will restore drm keys, lock bootloader and go to a Sony Store, thank you guys for any help, I was really enjoying this phone =X

I've noticed this affecting my phone since the update to the 34.3.a.0.252.
Apps wont load content on wifi, auto update of google apps wont work over wifi, etc. (some have even been sitting waiting on auto updates for over a month...)
As soon as I turn wifi off from the tray, apps update, content updates, picture and videos instantly start to upload
i have not installed either of the two packages you list, or magisk, so I don't think they are related to the issue.
Its not an issue with my router set up as it happens on the main router, a repeater, shared connections, hotspots or public wifi. Its down to the phone and most recent update.

It's weird becase a tried 34.1.a... and didnt make out. Idk if some how I made some hardware crash, or drop wifi is just a bug from my rooted phone. Today I tried to install marshmallow stock rom, and stock + twrp and both with wifi issues, in weekend I ll try to restore drm-keys with locked bootloader.
I saw what heppen with explorer es.app, bluetooth and wifi files are missing, and even with a new flash rom or deleting folder they dont fix up files. The strangger part is that in the beggin everything was right, maybe I break up wifi hardware. My last chance will be install Paranoid Android, and if everything is all right, I will copy file for try to force software fix it.
Did you made anything to fix it?

I've just been living with it, though I may downgrade back to the October Rom version if i still have it while i wait for appropriate O versions, kernels with support for turning off encryption etc..
Just to close this post, and help others members I would like to notice that I solved my problem. Actually, it was just a coincidence. While the installation the required processing burned out the network card of the phone. This fact there is no connection with the installed mods or ROMs, nor either with any of the information or hypotheses I gave earlier. The problem occurred because the x compact's battery its attach with SoC, and therefore it is very sensitive to heat, fortunately my cell phone is warranty and I will get a new one. So, take care !
will be that you can support me on something about this device, a while ago I wanted to install a rom lineage 15.1 and had many bugs, one of them was that Dolby stopped audio did not want to open, so I decided to change it to stock again using minimal adb, and all good, I start the cel, but the problem continued, and restart it I get a message like 10 times in a row that says "daxUser stopped" after that, I skip another window where it says the "internal system is damaged and may be unstable to restore the cell phone factory "and I do not know what to do because I have already installed the rom allegedly stock several times and it does not take off in fact does not sound at all, the speaker is dead, I can not make calls, if the resiven but nothing is heard, it no longer connects to wifi, it leaves the few applications without any reason. ect etc, I hope you can support me with that, and if there is any solution it would be great.
Unroot, lock and take it back for repairs? Sorry, not very XDA-style answer.
Edit: are you completely sure that you flashed the right stock ROM for your device?
Try again

I have a Retla and received official 9.0. download the 89-2 stock firmware. You can find it here. Use the .bat
File, place inside extracted firmware click & when it restarts you should get a notification to download 89-5.. once it completes the next notification will appear.. that's 116-11 9.0..

I have an SM-N900V (Note 3, Verizon variant, hltevzw).
Detailed timeline:
- I flashed it back to firmware OB6 using Odin 3.09.
- I rooted it using ArabicToolApp.
- I used this tool to unlock the bootloader
- I installed a build of LineageOS 14.1 for hlte
- It didn't recognize the SIM so I did a dirty flash of this build of LineageOS 15.1 for hltetmo on top (hltetmo actually has different hardware than hlte, and the correct one for SM-N900V)
- Messed around with the APNs until it recognized and connected to Verizon's network. I DO have functioning SMS and LTE data, but I have not tested phone calls yet
- Messed around some with SuperSU in system- and systemless-mode. Bricked my device more times than I could count, then unbricked over and over using SuperSU's impeccable installer. Messed around with this quite a bit
- Also messed around with Xposed some. The OS is too unstable to run Xposed Installer correctly, so I uninstalled it
- Removed SuperSU, installed Magisk. Phone now passes SafetyNet
So, my phone now runs 8.1 and a Lineage build from 9 days ago. Cool. But, if I was satisfied I wouldn't be making this post. There are multiple instances of the same kind of "app freeze" - App screen freezes, sometimes it'll go completely black. Interactivity doesn't work, obviously, the app is completely frozen. Hold Back to kill doesn't work (Application Killed toast shows, but nothing happens). ANR (when it comes up) Close doesn't work. Home button works and brings me away from the app, but it's still there. Swipe away in Overview doesn't actually kill the app. Even in App Info, Force Stop doesn't work. The app is forever frozen. Tapping the icon from the launcher no longer does anything, it doesn't even bring up the app. The app is permanently crashed and inaccessible until a reboot.
Issues:
- Sometimes when booting the phone will not recognize the SIM until a reboot. As in, "No SIM" message and everything
- Sometimes it will get stuck at boot, I have foxy-boot installed, so I can see the logs. I don't remember what it was all about, if it comes up again I'll update the post
- Google Chrome sometimes crashes when trying to download a file. I've gotten my phone to self-host before, but this issue always seems to come back, and when it does Google Chrome ALWAYS crashes when trying to download a file. App Freeze
- Netflix installs and logs in but freezes at the "can't connect to service (-9)" message. App Freeze
- Certain apps like NativeScript Playground get stuck at the splash screen. App Freeze
- Xposed Installer did this when opening the Settings, whether Xposed was installed or not. App Freeze
- F-Droid also sometimes crashes, although it's somewhat arbitrary, I can't reproduce it reliably. App Freeze
I have tried reflashing the ROM, flashing Xposed uninstaller, reinstalling Magisk, none of it seems to work. I have TWRP 3.3.0 so I can do pretty much anything that doesn't involve the SD card (the SD card is probably broken in hardware, it's so read-only that Android and TWRP both can't write to it at all, but they can both read the same half-broken filesystem).
I fear that this OS is just too unstable for the phone and there's nothing I can do. I sincerely hope this is not the case.
Try other ROMs or perform a clean installation.
Make sure you are on PL1 bootloader/modem.
Currently using Resurrection Remix v5.8.5 Nougat because it was the last Android version for this device with working Bluetooth calls but if you don't use that feature you could use their Pie version as well.
RR ROMs are solid and work extremely well.
Do a clean installation via TWRP if you go this route.

I did a clean installation of RR 6.0.0 (Android 8.1) and it works a lot better than LineageOS did, with even more configuration options. I really really hate Pie and its gesture-based gimmicks (Screw you Google for copying more of Apple's bad design decisions), so I assumed Oreo would be more stable, but the ROM I installed still has crashing apps. Google Chrome still won't download most things (I've gotten it to download before), trying to change the accent color crashes the 'LineageOS Settings' app, and F-Droid is seriously messed up, but most other things are stable, including the Verizon network which required no pesky APN setup.
I'm on the OB6 bootloader/modem, is that a problem? I doubt that would be an issue, but I can always back up and reflash via Odin. The cool thing is that I installed a patch to TWRP which backs up /data/media along with everything else, after installing the custom ROM. So, really, I can do anything and be perfectly fine. There's, AFAIK, no way to ruin the phone unless something exploits the eMMC brick bug.
If there's another ROM you'd recommend me install, I'd be happy to try it out. I would really like to have a stable OS on here, where Chrome will work and download files. I'd also love Camera2 API since the phone has the chip for it (Snapdragon 800), but none of the ROMs I have support it and there's been no discussion online other than some years-old threads with no answers. I know there have been some articles online listing Note 3 as a phone that'd support Camera2 API with a software update. Would updating the bootloader/modem do anything on that front?
I would upgrade to PL1 bootloader/modem for your device. This is what I have and have had 0 issues. I'd recommend you trying the Samsung Internet browser over Google Chrome; it's much better in my opinion.
You can find the modem here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=160694
As far as ROMs are concerned you can either try the Nougat version of RR which is what I am currently using as my daily driver with no issues at all including Bluetooth calls:
[ROM][HLTE\TMO\CHN][OFFICIAL]*** Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 ***[13.03.2018]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-3-vanilla-t3615227
See here to check whether or not your phone has the Camera2 API capabilities; if not use OpenCamera.

Excuse me but custom ROMs don't have "the Samsung Internet browser". Additionally the modem shouldn't cause app crashes (if it does, correct me please).
I might try the Nougat ROM. Bluetooth calls don't matter to me, but stability does. I just kinda really like Oreo and all its customization options but it may be too new for this old phone from 2013. It still works as a phone though, Messages and phone calls work fine, so I may just deal with it.
I use Open Camera, and I've tried multiple Camera2 API enablers. The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and the necessary links (in hardware, between the camera/other things) to support Camera2, but nobody seems to have tried it. Probably because the Verizon Note 3 is really locked down, and can only be rooted on a special version of the samsung ROM, and can only be bootloader-unlocked via the eMMC brick bug... There are Magisk modules for Camera2 on Exynos-based devices, but none for the Verizon Note 3 AFAIK.
I just found out that RR 7 officially supports `hltetmo`, but RR 6 doesn't. That's kinda sad, I hate Pie, but I might try it...
I've had the SEPL stuff before, that's the one that can't be rooted. I suppose I didn't consider upgrading again after I unlocked my bootloader. I'll try SEPL1 firmware again, but with a custom ROM...
You can install the Samsung browser from the Play Store. Again, highly recommended.
As far as SEPL1 just update the modem to it; that shouldn't cause any issues but it will ensure your SIM is recognized and data works with the latest ROMs. That is one requirement you will see listed on all of these ROMs.
Not sure which one you are trying to install but here are all the Resurrection Remix versions:
Nougat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-3-vanilla-t3615227
Oreo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-6-0-0-t3748689
Pie:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v7-0-0-t3894244
If you don't care about Bluetooth audio during calls then you can safely use Oreo and Pie options.

Yeah but, data and calling worked fine on the LineageOS and RR roms, so there's no reason to update the modem.
Besides, I flashed SEPL1 6 times using Odin (multiple times by flashing, rebooting directly into download mode and flashing it once more) and it doesn't want to update. Still on OB6. On the latest (official Pie) RR rom, data worked on first boot but doesn't work anymore (I'm going to mess around with the data settings until it works), but I have no reason to believe that my phone needs a modem update to function.
I did, many times, make calls to various phone numbers and they all worked flawlessly. SEPL1 is therefore not needed if that's all it does.
And I do know about all the Resurrection Remix versions: One is Nougat from their archive, one is the Oreo version I had installed just yesterday before flashing Pie, and the other one is Pie which is now officially supported.
I am currently working on getting RR7 to work, it's only crashed a few times, and I don't even remember what those times were (I think it was using the Back button in Overview/Recents at the same time as the Overview button?)
When updating modem via Odin you have to pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot. If you look at the ROM threads for anything newer than Android v5 they all recommend updating to the latest bootloader & modem for your device which in this case is PL1. This can be to prevent crashes/no signal /no SIM, etc...
Are you dirty flashing these ROMs? I have never experienced any crashes with any of the RRs on my phone but I always do a clean install and make sure to also delete the "Android" folder on my SD Card via TWRP after doing the "Advanced" wipe and deleting everything listed there except for the External SD Card.

"pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot"
So...
- Reboot phone into Download mode
- Pull battery while in Download mode
- Flash thingy
- Reboot back into Download mode
- Flash thingy again
? That will be very difficult to do with my dodgy charging cable that doesn't like being repositioned...
I do that without pulling the battery, but I could try it with.
I'm downloading the full SEPL stock image to flash. Once that's done, I'll flash it, reflash TWRP, restore my backup, and see if the baseband has updated.
And no, never dirty flashed the ROM. Always completely wiped data, system, cache and everything. I always backup first. I currently have 3 backups: Lineage OS (before installing RR), RR6 (Oreo), and RR7 (right now before that stock image I'm going to flash).
My external SD card is nonfunctional and read-only with some trash files from the previous phone.
I flashed the stock SEPL ROM. Baseband still didn't change. Restored from backup, SIM now works. Network is detected, SMS and data both work reliably on all reboots.
I will mention that I did brick my phone by using Odin to erase the eMMC, but I fixed that from TWRP, and now everything works flawlessly. There are still some app crashes, but most things are very stable. Camera2 API still nonexistent, which is sad because I got used to it on my old phone, but I shouldn't hope for it.
