Have anyone tried the latest firmware on samfirmware.com for the US N915T...
ANL4 (Brazil)?
I have tried the ANL2 a week or so ago, but I had to flash the Tmobile official modem (ANK3) again, since the default one that came with that, constantly drops connections. After I reflashed the modem, my signal was good again. I also noticed there is a AOA2, but when I tried the same version for my tablet (AOA2 released for my tablet)- but it ruined the bootloader.....so I'm a little hesitant to flash the AOAx versions....
Ideas?
Just wanna pole to see if there are any 'flash-junkies' like me, on the Note Edge?

I'm running the KitKat+ ROM I found in the development section plus faux kernel, I flashed over jellybean and applied fix v2 so I'm getting no problems uninstalling apps or entering security settings. Thing is when I'm at home or even outside I get really slow network speeds of about 0.4 Mbps down,and in settings-aboutphone-status it switches between hspa and hspa+,but down the road about 350 metres at my kids school I get up to 7 Mbps down,I'm just wondering what version of the moto g is this KitKat+ rom based on,I own the UK retail version and was thinking if its based on a us version would it cause problems with connecting to a UK network or have problems with hspa+ in the UK based on what base this ROM is using,just throwing it out there.
Have you tried setting it to GSM auto (PRL) ?
My previous phone (HTC One X+) was running BlackBean rom and was set to CDMA by default, meant that i had to reset to GSM after every reboot.
I have experienced this also on a UK XT1032 running US Global GSM 4.4.2 - Data works but often slowly and stops entirely for periods of time. I had assumed it was the ROM and I'm waiting for the UK 4.4.2 stock firmware image which I expect will solve it. Perhaps unrelated, but I've noticed Opera Mini will not work over 3G in this ROM, but it works fine on Wifi.
EDIT: I was just thinking; that by fastboot flashing the Stock US firmware image, the UK modem firmware may also have been replaced. That could explain the problems. Flashing back the 4.4.2 UK modem firmware might fix it.
My Baseband version:
MSM8626BP_1032.340.63.00R
Can someone with a US Global GSM XT1032 confirm their Baseband version? Nevermind, confirmed via google. UK Tesco XT1032 running 4.4.2 also has the same Baseband version.
You could try flashing the UK stock 4.4.2 'NON-HLOS.bin' which appears to include the modem firmware. However if I remember correctly, flashing an incorrect radio firmware is one of the few ways to irrecoverably brick a handset.
Safest bet is to wait for the full UK stock 4.4.2 firmware image and fastboot flash that. In future when you flash a different ROM, i.e CM11, you are likely to use CWM/TWRP and the existing UK modem / radio firmware will remain untouched.
If someone wants to correct me on this, please do.
I asked the other day about using the G920I modem on my G920F as to improve the poor reception on my phone. The next question I hope anyone can answer is would just converting the whole phone to a G920I using stock rom. The hardware in each phone is exactly the same especially the modem which is a samsung shannon. The only difference is the couple of different basebands but these are present in both varients of the modem just software locked. I cant see any reason as to why I could not do this but would like to hear if you have a take on this. Thanks. I have found threads with other people that seem to have managed it but everytime I flash the stock G920I rom it fails. Just wondering what Im missing.

G920I Firmwares SUCKS, i am stuck in 5.1.1 and its a horrible experience, i miss 5.0.2 :crying:
Im on G920F 5.1.1 custom rom and its excellent. I need the modem from the G920i as it addressed the poor reception issue. No such modem has been released yet for the G920F hence I want to change. Once on G920I i will install a custom rom anyway so all will be good.

Have you tried to flash the 920I modem? I think it may be possible to do so as they have the same baseband chip.
But I am not sure whether we can get back the original modem if the flashing failed. I used to have a Nexus 4. Even when I flashed a wrong radio, I can always get back by flashing the right one. It is just a partition with constant data on the device. But I don't know whether samsung is the same.
Flashing a complete stock rom maybe impossible. I think Odin checks the model name, and prevent the flashing if they don't match (Just guess).

Yeah I tried flashing the modem only but when odit checks the PIT it fails straight away. Did try flashing the full stock package but again no joy. Its annoying as people with G920i dont seem to be suffering the issues that the G920F has with poor cell signal. Its definately a phone issue as I am on my third one lol. Have flashed the brand new modem package that was released a couple of days ago but has mad no difference at all surprise surprise. I think your correct though as odin must check the model number before flashing. Hopefully a dev could come up with a way to bypass the check as like you say the modems and hardware are identical on both models. The only difference is a couple of basebands which from my research are only software locked anyway.
You cannot flash G920I modem to a G920F and vice-versa. They are not compatible.

So I guess g920i and f have different partitions. their partition for radio may have different sizes As I found the modem.bin of these two models are In different sizes.
I have tried to install UK's Three firmware but it keeps failing after hidden.img, I can get my phone back by installing the BTU version (G920FXXU2COH2/G920FBTU2COH3/G920FXXU2COH2/G920FXXU2COH2). Why can't I install the H3G version (G920FXXU2BOG8/G920FH3G2BOG1/G920FXXU2BOGE/G920FXXU2BOG8) ? Will it make a difference if I install the H3G one with reception? WIll my reception inprove? The reason I want to do this is that my S4 has better reception than my S6, so I assume that maybe if I get the H3G version installed the reception will be better. I can't believe that my S4 has better reception.
Yes your reception could get better with a different baseband. But it's not necessary to flash a whole new stock rom for that. The BTU version uses OH2 baseband if I am right and the H3G version uses BOGE? So just find the BOGE modem and flash that
Excellent. I have installed that modem and will check it over the next few days. I know at work I used to get 1 bar of 4G on my Galaxy S4.
You can't install boge because of older version

Not sure what you mean by orlder version as it installed fine and rebooted and when I went to my settings it stated that the baseband is G920FFXXU2BOGE so I am sure it worked.
im looking to update my S6 SM-G920F Baseband: G920FXXU2COH2. (not original, but i screwed up and was left with this one)
i was to update it to the french one with the latest firmware that gives better battery life. it is G920FXXU3COI9, if i flash that to my phone via odin will that work fine? as i remember last time i tried to do somethign similar i encountered problems so just settled the way i was.
Hey all! I have a Sprint S8+ and I've flashed a G955U1 firmware on it. The issues I have is my GPS doesnt get a good lock and acts weird/slow and my service will go in and out multiple times a minute in certain areas. Ive update PRL and even used the## code. I'm stumped and cant find stock sprint firmware
i too did the same thing and am not haviing any issues. first, i would maybe do a factory reset. then if you really jsut wanna go back to stock sprint orignal firmware, here ya go: http://fws02.updato.com/GALAXYS8+/SM-G955U/SPR/SM-G955U_1_20170731114139_f586saxigh_fac.zip
remeber to use that modded version of odin to flash. the regular version wont work.
