Hi guys I actually have the stock firmware on my fit the code is: s5670xwkt6.I would like to try a custom rom , to improve the phone speed (if it is possible) perharps without overclock, and a lot of battery consuption.I also ask you what kind of bugs custom roms have got , I've read about Fm and sim problems, I am italian and my phone operator is WIND ,may I have any problems with a custom rom, with a Wind sim?
Moved to Q&A.
FM radio can be supported if you can spend few bucks on spirit FM app
sim problem may not occur as no baseband change is there while flashing rom

So I can pass from stock to Cm7 without having sim problem.But what about the version of Cm?I have seen that an offcial version of Cm is out ,but it is night!!So It's convenient switch to this rom?Or maybe it would be better if I wait for the Stable one?.However thank you for your answer!!
there is a official version available but older from nightly. and don't think nightly is not stable (1- 2 options may not work)
but there will be no serious problem, official may take a bit of time to come

Sorry about all this, but I have some questions that hopefully someone can help me out with.
First, is there a thread somewhere that has all the available usable radios? I ask because I noticed that a lot of these roms state that you should use a specific radio for their roms?
Will flashing a new radio every time you flash a new rom break something...like gps, data etc.?
Also is the current stock radio listed anywhere?
My radio is listed as : 12.39.60.19P_26.06.04.06_M ... is that this the current stock radio?
Thanks

1. Yes currently it resides in the Desire HD section, because these phones are virtually the same with a few exceptions. I will post the link as soon as I find it.
2. the possiblity is there but to my knowledge this isn't a general problem.
3. Yes it is listed and if I remember correctly it is the stock radio.

I'm a bit curious...
My radio is listed as 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M (since I've used the hack kit with provided radio).
What is the difference between the P and the U at the end of the baseband model number?
Thank you for the radio thread think, that's excellent.

I've seen this a lot around this forum. It seems people get either U or P when flashing the stock radio. Even more interesting, when I flash back to stock with the RUU I get an H. The MD5 of the radio in both the RUU and the hack kit are the same though, so I've been curious how we get different revisions of the "stock" radio?
Hmmmm....That is interesting...
I used the attn1 hack and twopumpchump's v1 ROM and my radio is the P also. I wonder if there is any differences in the radios due to the H, P, or U codes .
Maybe that is why some people have problems with their GPS working with the different ROMs and others with the exact same ROMs don't have any GPS problems......Hmmmmm......

i also know if you change the value of hsxpa it changes the basebands:
1= 12.39.60.19H_26.06.04.06_M
2= 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M

Okay, so anyone here still on FROYO?? And I nid some help if I should flash to DXKP9 or not. THX!!
I'm pretty sure DXKP9 is just an Asia-specific version for XXKPQ.
and flashing to GB depends on you.
I've just read and confirmed that GB has dark video recording. If you're not bothered by that, flash it.
Just read up or find some comparison videos on YouTube.

And y are so many people on XXKPQ?? And are there any improvements from FROYO to DXKP9? I am on my custom ROM based on FROYO now... THX!!
Yeah, I'm on KB4 and haven't been offered any updates for my UK unlocked I9003.
I know that I can upgrade to GB using Odin, but I'm reluctant to flash non-UK firmware onto the device. It seems only Russian ROMs are available on samfirmware.com
I did complain to Samsung UK and they've confirmed that GB is coming, but they can't say when. I don't actually think there have been any UK updates since May 2011, so I have no idea what they're playing at.

Many are on XXKPQ since most of the mods/ROMs/themes being developed at the moment (with the exception of some, e.g. CM9, CM7 (?) and MIUI(?)), are based on this firmware.
DXKP9 is Gingerbread-based, so there's bound to be improvements. You can try Googling the differences.

you can try taking note of your firmware (is it a DX (e.g. DXKP9)? an XX(e.g. XXKPM, XXKPN)? or something else?), then try to find the firmware in the Web when you want to downgrade back to Froyo.
It's a shame that Russian ROMs are available. But it's better than nothing.

The phone reports my firmware versions as
PDA: I9003XWKB4
PHONE: I9003XXKB1
CSC: I9003XXKB2
I haven't been able to find any reference to this firmware anywhere on the net, except one thread on an italian forum and one on a spanish forum complaining the same about the lack of updates. If I could find a copy of this firmware I'd probably give one of the russian gingerbreads a try because I could always go back.
As I understand it, there isn't a nandroid backup for the I9003 working - and even when nandroid does work, it can be dodgy if partitions change format type or the bootloader is changed (so I've heard).
I have also read up on how to make your own Odin-flashable ROM by dumping your own firmware, but I'd have no idea if I done the procedure properly until I had to use the backup - and by then it'd be too late.
So right now I'm hoping that Samsung UK will get their act together and release the GB firmwares that everyone else in the world already seems to be enjoying
So now my question is do u tink I shud update to DXKP9 or XXKPQ?? And if I shud which firmware should I update to?
For me I wouldn't do it unless I can get a backup of my current ROM that I know will work in the event of problems with the flash.
If that issue doesn't bother you, and you're not bothered about voiding your warranty, then just flash whatever you like the look of best - but follow the instructions to the letter. As I understand it, you can't flash from Froyo straight to the latest GB version as the older ROMs contain three files and the newer ones only one.
If you were going with European ROMs (XX) you'd have to flash KPE twice first before flashing KPQ. So I'm told. I've not tried it, at your own risk etc.

I haven't tested the Samsung warranty. But didn't have any problem with Motorola and Sony-Ericsson when my Moto C385 and my SE K610 stoped working. The both services fixed me the phones without problems.
So, if I where you I'll flash the phone with XXKPQ (is what I done hehe)
update to KPQ if you are alright with dim recording of video... IMO its not really that bothersome
KPQ has the highest amount of developer support, but now it seems that most 2.3.6 firmwares work well with stuff designed for kpq, so take a pick! I for one do not find any difference between different regions 2.3.6 roms like xxkpq,ddkp2 etc is there actually any difference or is it just region specific versions?
Oh kay... Thanks
More people are using KPQ and more mods are made for it, so KPQ is a good choice
Hello,
I Was wondering if there is any method where i can patch the Concept MM ROM so the cell radio can work, i flashed the rom before, and it was working perfectly except the cell radio.
so, i was wondering if there is any patch/method i can work on or start from so i can fix this issue.
I've searched the web for a solution but it seems no body tried this before, however there were some small patches that came with some CustomROMS to make the custom rom work on the Dual D66633 Model, so i think it is a possible task to patch the Concept ROM, Even if it means leaving the duality functions and work with 1 sim only.

Hiya.
Getting some real glitchy performance with the radio - 3G/4G and WiFi.

I'm looking for a current download link for the latest available (and flashable) radio firmware, and a guide to installing just that - my home PC is a Linux Mint box.
If anyone has a better suggestion, please feel free to make it (other than wipe the caches from Recovery, reinstall the same ROM). Constant connection dropping is becoming frustrating.
A separate question -why do I need Magisk - what is its function relating to this ROM and does the ROM stop working without it?
Thanks,
Stuart
The One S doesn't support 4G/LTE. The fastest connection you can get with it is H+/HSPA+ (in some countries called 3.5G or 3G+).
You're already using the latest firmware files. Reflashing them most likely won't make a difference. Have you tested other roms? If Wifi and your mobile data connection work with them then it's a RR-related problem. The so called "data drop" was a quite common issue on older custom roms that weren't based on the One S's stock rom. The reason is (like for all phones that get shipped with different android flavours than vanilla android) that the custom rom devs can't use the OEM's proprietary codes which would be needed for using the hardware properly. It's the same reason for the camera being on custom roms so much worse than on stock rom on such devices.
The answer to your Magisk question depends on the question whether you need root or not. Like SuperSU (which was more commonly used in the past) it's a root app. LOS works perfectly fine without it.
Thanks for the reply, Flippy.
I was aware of the HSPA, I just forgot and wrote 3G/4G out of habit
Am I correct in thinking that the last 'stock' ROM for this phone was KitKat?
I was on Lineage after CM died, but there was an overheating issue which made me switch to RR. There was a certain amount of glitchiness, but it seems worse now. I did update to 1.35 and took the WCNSS and ADSP update at the same time. Seems a little bit better - but only a little bit.
On a personal note - which do you rate at the moment - RR or LO/S? Or any others?
Thanks.

The last official android version was 4.1 (firmware 3.x aka hboot 2.15). ? There's only the semi-official firmware 4.x (aka boot 2.16) based on Android 4.2 and leaked by llabtoofer that's newer than that.
Radio 1.35 and the corresponding Wi-Fi files are ported from a different HTC device (I always forget which one it is) and were only meant as a temporary fix for bilal_liberty's rom ports. They were never meant to be used with other roms and after the issues his ports suffered from got fixed he recommended not using these temporary fixes, anymore.
I personally use LOS. But my choice is only based on the fact that RR didn't exist when I switched to android 7 on the One S and that I'm too lazy, nowadays, to switch between roms every couple of weeks. The One S isn't my main device, anymore. I just want it to work in case I need a backup device.

Hello, it's been some time since I've last rooted and flashed kernels on my devices. My device is having problems with certain apps and I feel it's time to update my root or change my rom or flash a stock rom etc. Here is what I am using now:
Build: MOAR v6.1 OA6
Software: G900PVPU1BOA6
Hardware: G900P.04
Android: 5.0
Kernel: 3.4.0-3859396
Would you recommend I unroot then flash a stock kernel? What is a new root I can use with this phone? Thanks
I would recommend Odin a fresh stock MM rom. Then boot to the desktop, by pass set up. Go to dialer ##72786# it will do a reactivate and update prl and profile.. Then Odin TWRP, and flash a new rom or your choice.. If you like MOAR then Odin a LP stock rom, and do as mentioned and flash MOAR 7.0 it works best. Right now, I'm running crdroid 3.8.5 baset off of Nouget with 7.1 gapps and it works very well You need the latest MM firmware to run it, and at least TWRP 3.2.1-0-ktle.img If you do flash crdroid download ktledv
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-crdroid-t2860894
First off, thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the help. What's the battery life like on MM compared to Lollipop?
I would prefer to use something like a stock rom but just extremely debloated. I also want to be able to play pokemom go without problems and super su keeps giving me problems when trying to play. Do you know of any setups that would allow for pokemon go and are fast, battery effecient, and debloated?

How's the mm baseband? I know the obvious response is updated is better but I experienced better LTE on the firmware I currently have, no idea honestly other than it's lolipop, maybe ok4? I want to upgrade phones but having trouble finding one with sprint newer that can be customized how I like so I'm also looking at playing with this one prior to and after getting maybe a pixel unlocked

I would stick with Lollipop OK4 and flash MOAR 7.0. I to find better LTE and all around connectivity on Lollipop than MM.. I once again, went back to MOAR 7.0 from crdroid.. Crdroid is a great rom, but battery life, sucks, as well as connectivity on calls and data. When in aroma and you get to the point about the kernel, choose don't touch kernel, and finish from there. I never like MM and those are the reasons why.. Crdroid I flashed was 7.0 but naturally on the MM base band, but it was still the same.
Thanks sir nobody could really answer that for me. I found the ok4 of all lollipop got the best LTE where I live, plus I'm on sprint so I'm a bit restricted on ROMs, unified dev leave some bugs with sprints network but not too badly!!

You probably already know, but I will ask anyways. Are you using the KLTEDV version of the unified ROM? KLTE roms does not work very well with sprint.

Thanks! I'll make sure to read which I should use. My daily is still on MM while my old one that's kinda beat up is now on N as it us now the practice phone. Playing with it before Oreo, may stay for a while. And I installed kltespr on both devices as there were still options available for specifically this device with the spr tag. My CM 13 network is fine, no worse than just regular sprint...
Haven't tried the move to either N or O on my daily, worried about the signal discussion. I'll use an old kltespr to test before the newer maintained kltedv if its there probably to see how it goes.

Unfortunately my sprint s5 is one of the phone with that signal issue. I was in the process of changing carrier so to try and fix that issue wasn't worth it for me. My new S5 did not have that issue, when i went to verizon, its a really weird bug.

I think it took a bit to stat with the sprint APN, changed some settings, messed with some stuff, and it seems fine now, I'll have to remember to check back at that before upgrading. I'm on the ok4 baseband
