I have been attempting to flash the ROM on my Charge all day with mixed results. After much frustration, I have finally been able to flash a few ROMs, and everything works great except I have no phone signal and my phone says "Unknown Baseband." in both slots. Earlier, it said it in only one of the slots. I have attempted Altered Beast, Stock, Stock Rooted, Deodoxed, all to no avail. Is there any way to flash just the modem or radio code?
did you actually read the directions, or just willy nilly flash from AB to stock and so on and so forth?
because they aren't all compatible with each other to do that
I was initially following the directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657
I went through all these directions, and after a reboot at the end, that's when it developed the problem initially.
There are only two known radios for the phone, and none of the roms flash a new radio, so even if the OP screwed up flashing his rom it shouldn't impact basebands, unless he didn't check PDA.
OP - What all did you actually try to flash? Are you sure you checked PDA in Odin, and not Modem each time?
I made certain I checked PDA each time.
Earlier yesterday afternoon, I was initially following this guide: [http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-t...and-clockworkmod-recovery-installation-guide/]until I realized it was old and didn't work w/ EE4. I had to flash my ROM back to ED1 Stock rooted in order for it to work. After that, I began following the guide in the earlier post. When my radios stopped working after that, I began flashing just about any ROM I could get my hands on, just to see if I get could get my radios back, including the aforementioned Stock, Stock rooted, Deodexed, Altered Beast, Debloated, etc. I eventually had to so the CWM repair ROM [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486] and flashed to Altered Beast and then to Stock ED2 after that, which is where I think I'm sitting right now.

There are several people experiencing an unknown baseband, most of the time its from attempting to use cwm prior to v3 to flash a recovery, then fixing the soft brick and now we have a "unknown baseband"
This happened to me as well. Any way to fix?
Anyone try flashing the official EE4 update.zip with stock recovery? Since that is the only file we have that has modem parts, maybe it can recover your basebands.

Do you know where I can locate that .zip? I am in the same boat and would be willing to try.
My experience with unknown baseband and ee4 update is that it wouldn't update to ee4 because it couldn't find an ltemodem to patch. I don't think the update is just going to insert the baseband because it can't find the original.
I'm back on my Incredible in the meantime. Can't believe how small it is!

Its posted in development. If it were me I would odin to ed1 and try and apply that zip in stock recovery. Either it will work or it won't. Don't cost nuthin.

In the process of doing this, I bricked my phone even more. When I try to reboot the phone, it says:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- bootmode=7 from cmdline...
-- Movi_check Start..!!
checksum confirmation need_checksum[0]
Not need checksum confirmation
-- Movi_check already executed!!...
-- movi_checking done!...
#MANUAL MODE #
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Then it boots into recovery. Obviously, this is a good example of why not to root your device unless you have a REALLY good understanding of what you're doing.
I would install ED1 via odin and let it update OTA.

That's what I've been trying to do, but unfortunately, it's not working. Odin is saying it's successfully installed, but when I try to reboot within recovery, it loops me back to the same place within recovery and gives me the message I posted above.

I think at this point I have tried every available package in the dev section. Unfortunately, though the all get me a "working" phone I still have the unkown baseband and thus am unable to find a wireless signal. This prohibits me from get and OTA when at ed1.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it. No luck.
Well just now a FULL ODIN ED2 package was posted at rootzwiki http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?481-LEAK-STOCK-ED2-Droid-Charge-FULL-ODIN!&p=5957#post5957
If anyone wants to try this to see if it is legit. I figured it would be one of you who is stuck. This "should" fix your problems and put you on stock ED2. And it would be a safety net for everyone else. It nearly impossible to brick your phone if there is a full odin.
Good luck.

No, I was using the Samsung PST software. It downloads the software to 100%, then an error dialogue box pops up.
I have the "unknown baseband" problem, and I think it's failing right at the very end as it's trying to flash the modems.
Sorry for the multiple posts--this topic is being discussed in a lot of different threads, and I feel like I'm the only one who can't get it to work successfully.
Baseband Radio
Ok so this is a noob Q. Is the baseband what gives my charge Signal?? Ive been having problems with dropped calls and lack of network stablility would this fix it and can i upgrade to ee4, root flash roms and kernels and still keep the new baseband? Thanks...

In a nut shell, YES. Once you get yourself to an ED1 or ED2 stock or rooted state, you should then be able to accept the OTA EE4 update which will update your radio. Just make sure you are not on a custom rom when you update. So, stock rooted ED1 or ED2, then update. Just apply the OTA, then your favorite root kernel. If you want a custom rom, pick one that is made for the EE4 update. However, you will not lose the radio/baseband update as the custom roms and kernel's don't touch the radio area.
Good luck!!
Thanks youre the only who answered any of my posts...lol I was thinking maybe I had to know someone

Did you take Sim Card out? Heres i what i did.
as soon as i put the phone in download mode ( you know yellow triangle?) i inserted the battery, make sure its fully charged and make sure you take the sim card out. So i inserted the battery back in and pressed the button to start flashing the ED1 file. I tried to flash the ED2 thats on the list but that file is borken i think.
Please continue this discussion in the thread linked in Post #1 so that everything is in one place.
Back on September 14th I downloaded that 14 Mb update. Since then I've flashed many times between stock, special ROMs, and of course the Gingerbread leaks. Well, my current issue is that I'm stuck on UCKE3 which is the newest I could find (the one from early June.) So far I have had no luck re-updating my phone to UCKH1 from the 14th. I'm getting the constant, "Your phone is up to date. You may check back in 24 hr and 24 min" message. This is very frusterating to me since when I'm on stock I like to have to latest official updates. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? I've asked a similar question in the Q&A thread, but some kid gave me nothing but a link to GTG's modem collection which is not what I really needed and threw a whole you better thank me for helping you thing in my face, so I prefer to check in here.
I assume you're referring to gtg's "Return to stock" UCKE3? If you actually want to be stock, that's the one to go with. That OTA Update really doesn't gain you much value, except for possibly the KI3 modem (which of course you know you can install yourself, no thanks necessary )
Now for your actual question: I don't have a definitive answer for you, but a good guess that "Return to stock" may not be 100% stock. Obviously it's rooted, but there may be something else (don't know what) that might be just different enough that AT&T's firmware update utility no longer recognizes your ROM as a candidate for updates.
Sorry that's not a very solid answer, but if I were you I wouldn't sweat this particular update anyway.
I had the same problem. What I did was return to stock using gtg's unbrick then after the phone booted I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I was able to get the update installed after that. Just back up your SD cards if you try this.

Thank you for the link. I downloaded it and tried to Odin it... Odin recognised my phone "showing yellow in the top left bar), but the step stayed a "<1> connection setup" for a little under 10mins without doing anything more...
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
My phone is rooted and I'm on UCKE3.
Thank you

I forgot to get back to you a few days ago, sorry (I was busy, new kid on the way and working on the house like crazy). When I did get a chance to look at my phone, the update was gone.
I will see what I can do with this update, but I am not going to install it till everyone else has I need my phone too much to let ATT screw it up, I will however, try to get the download.

your last bullet (not have removed any CIQ) means anyone wanting to take update CANNOT have the UCLA3 rom/kernel/modem installed as well... correct? (ATT OTA, cd's, or yours since all of these have CIQ removed already). Do we need to be on a stock UCKJ2 like we did for last week's OTA to work... or will stock UCKK1 (your stock CWM KK1) accept update? If not, is there a UCKJ2 CWM rom/kernel zip package?

The only catch is from what I have read that the Wifi will not work unless you odin the leak first. For some reason it seems that you have to have the new leaked bootloader. I have talked to a couple of the people that made a zip flash keeping the bootloader we are on, but no wifi. I stopped working on making a zip after I found that out. I have thought about using odin to flash the leak then flashing the Rom from the link above, but am not sure if I would be able to go back to the roms that I am running on the old bootloader. I am just going to wait until some people that knows what they are are doing picks the leak apart more. Anywho if you are interested goto that thread above and do some reading. I personally am just going to stay away until we know more about the new bootloader. I know that the leak can be rooted though because chainfire released an update specifically for the 4.4.2 leak.

I did try flashing with Odin a day ago, I'm assuming since the Download Mode has "No authorization" it's due to the locked bootloader we have. About 10% into the flash it fails with an authorization error... I'm going to look into that thread to see if I can learn more...trial and error is a great learning tool for me

Well after hours of farting around with their build and mine, I pretty much lost interest with the ROM now. Their build definitely has WiFi broken. I'm not sure if it's kernel related or not.
I think I'm with you on waiting for this to improve before using. Besides CM11 with Google Experience Launcher is looking and feeling great this past month...
Here is a like to Echoe13_4.4.2Deodex_12JAN2013.zip it works but you need to loki patch it and wifi don't work.

hello my friends somebody have one solution for the problem of wifi in rom stock o custom deodex of echoe in 4.4.2... And please can explainme what is the loky patch...? tks for your help and sorry for my english..!
Loki only has to be flashed on the At&t variant of the S4 after installing a zip that was not an At&t rom. The WiFi issue I believe is from not updating the bootloader via OTA and possibly kernel tweaks as well but it will get there. We have great devs for this device.

You need a kernel made from the 4.4.2 source code which has not been released yet for the wifi.
For loki patch on att, download loki-doki, put it on your SD, go to recovery, flash rom,flash loki doki. If you are using a rom made for att chances are the kernel will already be patched.

what kernel were you guys using on the echoe roms? I couldn't get past the boot screen and it hung using the i337m Canadian variant which should be the same as their TMO version minus the leaked bootloader.
There is a new NA5 leak out. I am in the I337 and have tried the NA1 leak Roms Indies Omega and Echoe and I always hang up on the boot menu. Guess we will have to wait for the official and the Kernel info for it to work for us.

I didn't know there was a nlthread on this on my native device. I Have been posting on the Tmobile thread since the leak first came out.
I also unpacked both Leaks and repacked only their respective boot, system and cache files and successfully flashed via Odin. the cool part was that I didn't lose root and only needed to add the new supersu. I had a titanium backup zip which I also flashed.
the problems are as follows
1. No WiFi. attempting to flash KT kernel bricked it. had to start all over
2. Security settings caused a FC. so couldn't enable installation from unknown sources.
3. Restoring user apps using Titanium backup (after freezing all Knox apps) worked. but adding any system apps caused a bad series of forced closures
so unless u have got an unlimited data plan, this is just something to play around with for now it would seem
AFAIK I337M devices share the same hardware with I9505 ones; so can I flash I9505XXUFNA5 onto my I337m?

The bootloader would block odin from accepting the full package. The best u can do is pick n choose parts to flas like i did. And you'll end up with a similar scenario
But you could use this modified version and search for Magical unicorn kernel and see
