[Q] Advice plz Re flashed ROM on S4 (baseband problem) - General Questions and Answers

I'd like some advice please on what to do next. I rooted then flashed my Samsung S4 with a new ROM named Imperium v16.1. Everything is fine except the classic issue of having little to no data connectivity. Wireless is fine and when people try to ring me it's fine. I try to ring out though I have to go into and exit airplane mode.
This is the first time I've flashing an android handset so I definitely put myself in the n00b category.
I'm at the stage that I just don't care what ROM I have I just need data connectivity to work again. Yes I was probably stupid it try it but you know what it's like. We all want to experiment!
I guess I have two questions. If I install another ROM will I just have the same problem? Also, from my research, I get the impression that the problem is that my handset's modem drivers/baseband(?) don't match the ROM. Is that accurate/likely?
Any advice or simple background into what's going on would be grand!!
Thanks community!

Your stock firmware was the outdated Jellybean 4.2.2. Flash latest stock firmware from HERE and you'll be able to use newer custom roms. And free user can cload with 300kb/s, don't be scared by the 15kb/s.

Thank you. I've got the download.. I'll give it a go this evening after work.
(wow the copy of Odin I picked up is full of bloatware.. Wonder if the source I got it from was a bit dodge)

That has worked beautifully! Thank you very much.
Gosh, I had forgotten how bloaty and boring the stock ROM is.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s2 HD lte unlocked canada restarts all of sudden

HI all,
I am new to this forum.
i got factory unlocked samsung galaxy s2 hd lte i757m with android v4.1.1 from canada.
I am using this cell in INDIA.
I am experiencing some freeze and sometimes restarts almost daily in my first week of usage.
battery drains fast with just 1hour of wifi usage.
Also cell phone heatsup while charging
Samsung support says officialy jellybean is not been released to hd lte yet , so u might be facing the problem.
Guys does anyone has faced same issues?? please help
There is no official JB for the i757m yet - Samsung are right. The issues definitely sound ROM related, I would recommend rolling back to ICS as it's very stable for me, with good battery life. Also worth noting - your phone will always heat up while charging
Here is a thread relating to installing CWM on the i757m. Ignore that, under the 'Download' section (expand the hide tag) there's a Dev.host link to some files. Go into the Bell SGS2 HD LTE folder, grab Odin3_1.85.zip and in the Factory Images folder, grab 'Unzip Me Stock ICS'. Don't forget to click 'thanks' for dsixda in his thread.
Once you have both those files down, unzip the ROM to get a tar.md5 image, and use ODIN to flash. There are many ODIN tutorials on this site, I suggest reading a couple BEFORE doing anything, as this has the potential to brick your phone completely.
If you need further help after reading, I will be here. I have this phone, and have done this a few times
Good luck!
Justin
thanks Justin,
I am newbie to android and samsung
Could you let me know where shall i get started ???
also the important thing i will have to rollback to ICS from INDIA and not Canada this time.
Is it possible from India?? if yes how?? any specific version of kies software required??

That's no problems, we don't actually use Kies to do anything, plus we are downloading the ROM ourselves. I have done the same thing from Australia, so I don't think that India should be a worry
If you follow that link above, and grab the two files that I mentioned, that's the first step. Once you have them on your computer, I'll send you some USB drivers, and then help you with the next steps to get it working

[Q] Question on flashing other location rom

After 4 months of stalking this forum, I finally bought a note 10.1 to use as my phone... weird I know. Hopefully it arrives today. Anyway, I have a question on flashing the stock 4.1.2 n8000 germany rom on to my n8000. Can I just flash it if I am from another region? Is there anything I need to do before I flash? I keep on seeing threads about changing CSCs and some of them seem to be due to flashing on a different model instead. I would also like to ask if the 4.1.2 is still Exynos vulnerable (Easily rootable).
You need to use ODIN to flash, make sure you have a nandroid copy of your stock rom....
exynosexploit.apk will still give you root access. There is a camera patch on the s3 forum for after using the exynos patch to secure the exploit made by chainfire (buy this man a beer) but I haven't tested this on the note 10.1 as yet.
Best idea would be to root, do nandroid backup then flash JB4.1.2...
Cheers...
Oh, and get yourself the BT stylus if its going to be a phone replacement... Makes life easier and you don't have to be wearing a BT headset all the time...

[Q] GT-P5100 no Dialer problem

Hi,
I've bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with the 3G version, but the Israeli official importer decided to take out the phone capabilities in order to avoid paying taxes for a Mobile Phone device (They claim it's now only a Tablet).
The device is 100% 3G capable, including all the hardware needed to make phone calls and send/receive SMS. They claim to have taken out only some software files... Now I can use the SIM only to use wireless networking. I've tried to install the Dialer One application, but got an error message stating that my device is not supported.
Can anyone please help me with restoring the device to its original phone mode?
Thank you!
Dan.
Well you could try a custom rom? It may work

I rather not use a custom rom... I think it's actually much simple - Some files are missing, and if I knew which and where to put those, problem solved.
I know all Israeli P5100 suffer from this strange issue, so I guess there must be a quick solution.
Thanks.

I also had the same problem. I rooted my tab and got another stock rom( not israeli). I think all the other stock roms have dialer.
But remember to do a backup if you want to change rom. I did not do backup( forget) and now i do not have hebrew on my tablet.
If you want my advise do not change rom.... you will never use the phone on tablet ...trust me on that.
hi there i want to use my p5100 as aphone insted of the "note" so please

I *think* that official cm10.1 has support for using the p5100 as a phone, and I know it has hebrew. I suggest you try it.

[Q] Alliance rom not working

Ok so i have a new samsung galaxy s5 and i am a noob at flashing and everything but i flashed alliance rom for my phone but then i dont get any data signal or anything. so i restored my stock firmwire and everything went back to normal. then i tried flashing the m.o.a.r rom it works perfectly but i like alliance way better but i cant use alliance because i dont get any service at all. i am using SM-G900P with virgin mobile as my carrier. idk if i am doing something wrong here but it doesnt make sense that i dont get any data service at all,no data icon,and no first time set up like i get with the m.o.a.r rom i flashed. i would appreicate it if someone would point me in the right direction thank you.
that rom isn't made for your phone model, meaning its not a unified rom and doesn't have the right apns for your carrier's data connection. best thing to do is stay with a rom made for your phone model or find a unified rom.

it does show there but, if you really want that rom on your phone you'll need to read and search that rom thread for your phone model (g900p or try searching for sprint) and see if and how anyone got it to work on theirs. from my trys with that rom in the past i couldn't get it to work on my g900p phone. as for a rom to try , go with m.o.a.r. (lots to customize) or try a cm/asop unified rom (can customize allot with those roms too). or try all roms and become a flash-o-holic like most people on here including me. but i would say honestly, stay with any rom from the sprint galaxy s5 section as this is your first time flashing roms till you get the hang of it and really know what you are doing so you dont end up with a paper weight good luck and have fun!.

[Q] S4 Active - 4.4.2 correct firmware?

Hi,
I have rooted my device, then I cant use usual way to update firmware. Im running france version SGS i9295 android 4.2.2 with pda/modem i9295xxubml3.
There is one thing i need to know. Is possible to install firmware I9295XXUCNH2(france version) without bricking a phone? link: sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=34530
I just dont want to have big problems with bootloop or something, if things go wrong. then rather asking.
Thank you much!
EDIT: I tried it, because there was no answer. This firmware is probably inappropriate, cause i had some problems with this ROM, like not working wifi, and some setting problems. So, for now Im back to 4.2.2
so...nobody know or tried?
I'll probably try it and we will see then
