Thanks for the file...may I ask how should I flash it? I am on android 4.3 using echoe rom "the final bean"... should I flash just modem.bin through odin pc or both files (non-hlos)?
Thanks in advance

how to flash this modem ... PLEASE!

modem is for 4,4 firmware
flash using Odin 3.09 and place modem.bin in the CP space in Odin
it may not take first time: see these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667 (do not autoboot and flash twice before booting)
this worked for me as per those instructions

are there any requirements before flashing this modem...ie, req new bootloader? etc? thanks

Modem works on MK6 bootloader.... not sure about older versions... you will have mk6 if you took the stock 4.3 update before rooting and such.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495&page=251
From post 2505
Steps should be like this:
1. Start Odin 3.09 on your PC
2. Click CP button and browse for your GSM/LTE .tar file
3. Power phone off completely
4. Enter download mode (press POWER until vibrate, then press the VOL-DOWN button immediately, then VOL-UP to confirm)
5. Connect USB to phone+PC. Odin's ID:COM should then turn blue to show that it's seen the device
6. Click the Start button to flash

none, just flash with odin, luck

No luck. It won't stick. Tried flashing twice without restarting using Odin 3.09 and used the extracted modem.bin in the CP section.

I semi bricked on MDJ bootloader, gage hero advice is sound. Had to do a full return to stock via odin....18hrs. It would be helpful if we could also report our bootloaders we are using when we flash modems.. I'm on MDJ rogers network. Anyway I'm on MK6 modem. What's wrong with MK6? I get service in the elevator!

NC1 drains less in low service areas, that I can tell for certain after heading over to my girlfriend's house, and not having to charge my phone.

It should work, just don't touch the non-hlos.bin and you should be okay.

Your problem as near as I could tell from your posts was trying to install the new firmware on a 2 API Level old bootloader. Completely different.
[edit] looking back on it, looks like you blindly flashed the CP package on to what looks like KOT9H from your post history, without reading up on how to appropriately flash a mismatched modem.

Tried flashing this using odin but no luck. It wont stick. Any other method?

@0mega1 Are there issues with flashing the NC1 NON-HLOS.bin when you're using the older MDJ or MG1 bootloaders?

Please do a search on the forums for modem flashing for the i337m and follow those instructions. If you have trouble, please refrain from flashing the modem.
Unless you know what you are doing, you can cause all sorts of trouble for yourself.
Unless you can learn to do it through quick searches, You likely shouldn't be doing it.

Wifi Issue
Hey Guys,
I took the 4.4 update from Rogers using Kies as i was getting the custom error.
I took the NC1 Modem file to match my firmware as it didnt update when the OS updated and everything is working properly except for my Wifi which i cannot turn it on.
Now will the NON-HLOS fix this issue for me or will i need to re-install the OS
I tried to do factory reset, used odin to apply the modem file and do another factory reset.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

Hi I am new here as i was reading your post so yes non-hlos will fix ur wifi issue get a proper non-hlos that should match with NC1 MODEM...

Thank you for replying.
I am familiar with baseband flashing though my question was more related to the NON-HLOS partition. I've searched extensively for information about NON-HLOS only to see it labelled as a "WiFi fix" with no additional information. With this lack of information, NON-HLOS compatibility with older bootloaders is certainly not something that has been extensively discussed here or elsewhere.
In any case, I'm still after this information and was wondering if others have any insight.

Just updated to NC1 from MDJ (Bell) and can confirm everything is working great!
Thanks!

[I9500] Easy way to downgrade from official Lollipop 5.0.1 to official KitKat 4.4.2

If you are having trouble doing the downgrade from Lollipop (5.0.1) to KitKat (4.4.2), like no IMEI (baseband) or directly fails when flashing via Odin, here's the solution (worked for me ):
1) Download the following firmware: www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40444/I9500UBUGNJ1_I9500UUBGNJ1_ARO
2) Before flashing the firmware via Odin, make a full wipe to the device (works best with a custom recovery, making wipe data/cache, format system, preload, modem, internal sd card, dalvik, etc). This is the custom recovery that i used: www.mega.co.nz/#!PNZHQSRA!CCnUXXAyCX8tpvc6riBI-mfRj0U3peESpchIYGFC_XY
3) After making a full wipe, reboot into download mode and flash the downloaded firmware, it should make the process without problems.
4) When the process completes successfully (Odin says PASS), wait the device to restart till the Samsung logo appears.
5) Do a hard reboot to the recovery mode by pressing Volume up, Home and Power buttons at the same time.
6) Then make a format factory reset, finally reboot normally.
This process has worked for me, making a downgrade from the official update 5.0.1 (SER - Russia) to this official version 4.4.2 (ARO - Argentina).
Hope it works for you too. If it helped, don't forget to hit the thanks button and comment bellow :good:

As you said, you were on 5.0.1 official stock, how did you wipe everything as you mentioned because that can only be done by custom recovery. Did u install custom recovery on 5.0.1?

Yes, I've installed a custom recovery (CWM 6.0.50) to do all those wipes, btw if your warranty void counter is on 0 and you want to keep that, don't install this and proceed doing the common wipes on stock recovery (format data - factory reset/wipe cache), and try then flashing the recommended firmware. As I said, I recommend to wipe ALL through a custom recovery before flashing the firmware, cause my counter was in 1 and through this method i was able to do a succesfull downgrade

I've uploaded the custom recovery that I used to do a full wipe. Install via Odin (only for people with warranty void counter 1, or which don't care losing warranty / set the counter to 1):
www.mega.co.nz/#!PNZHQSRA!CCnUXXAyCX8tpvc6riBI-mfRj0U3peESpchIYGFC_XY

Thanks a lot my friend, i will try. Fingers crossed..hope all goes well.

Have you flashed the recommended ARO firmware or another 4.4.2? One more time, this is recommended to downgrade from the russian 5.0.1, I've tested with this one, I don't know if it will work with the indian version.

But I need to be on Indian version bud!

But im wondering why there are 2 Recovery files, both are the same size but they give back different md5hash sum, that mean that there is something different about them.

I got an issue with an P9 [EVA l_09] after upgrading from latest Marshmallow C432 single SIM to Nougat via SD Card update.app and restart. I did similar updates on 5-10 different devices w/o an issue.
Fist part went fine, but with the second [HW_init] it went into this:
http://www.derjackistweg.de/img_20170601_142722_resized_20170601_022749113
I was not able to flash ANY different update.app after that via SD card [weather Marshmallow 1rst or later version]
The device is stock - NO change in Bootloader
I do not have any recovery from before or whatever.
I do want to use this device in whatever Firmware!
PS: I cannot post by myself. Though my account is 11 (!) years old - I am not experienced enough Back in the day I had more posts of course, XDA made changes over the years.

[FIXED] Need help unbricking the phone.

Hello everyone!
So my friend tried to downgrade his phone from 9.0, to 8.0 and he messed up somewhere so now he's stuck with bricked phone. I think it is soft bricked because i can boot to recovery and to bootloader. I tried to reflash his phone with odin, but i end up with an error something in the lines of write operation failed. Also tried like 3 or 4 diffrent stock roms, nothing worked out.
What i know about the phone:
* Its samsung A8 (SM-A530f/DS)
* OEM lock is still on.
* Debug mode is off (the one in android settings)
* Recovery is still stock (tried to flash TWRP got the same error)
* ADB and fastboot does not pick up the device
* I can boot to the recovery and bootloader (Download mode)
Thank you guys in advance!

So you tried to down grade to 8 with Odin?
What what exactly did you try to flash?

I didnt try to flash it, my friend did that, and i took his phone to fix it. So i dont know what he did, he asked me to fix it and thats what i know. As he said to me he used odin to flash an older stock rom, and he messed up somewhere so the phone is bricked now.
