Discuss how best to install the CM12 alpha modem.
Do the rest of us a favour, do it here in this thread, instead of clogging up every lollipop development" thread.
In my experience the best way of sorting problems like wifi issues, proximity failures and dialler problems is just try these.
1. OPO_L5_alpha-modem-flashable.zip
2. cm-12-nightly-modem-flashable.zip
3. cm-12-20150106-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip
Option 3 worked for me! Personally I would recommend all concerned to do this. Yes it takes longer, but in my personal experience it worked. I dont know why, I suspect it has to do with it flashing more than just the modem, but it did for me. I dont have these problems anymore so....
End of my contribution. Just discuss here, not in every development thread for opo on xda endlessly please.
Developer advice. Refer all q's of this nature to this thread.
TOP TIP "For MultiRom users a simple trick for this is to add/use a dummy secondary rom and use that one to do these fresh flashes as to save some time (no need for cache rebuilt on your already installed rom etc.). Afterwards that dummy can just be deleted if the space is needed." Thanks go to tobitege for this.

+1. I also flashed the latest official CM nightly, booted it and checked if everything was working and then flashed the latest unofficial Temasek's rom. Everything works fine.
Cheers

@zaphodbeeb: thanks for having created this!
This morning I tested an extended version of the CM-12 flashable zip containing more partitions of the current nightlies.
First test brought me a jackpot in that it flashed without an error message, but soft bricked my phone (black screen, no adb nor fastboot), but power button rebooted in a special mode "HUSB_BULCK" (viewable in device manager). Takin' up the challenge, so after plenty of searching/reading and multiple tries to install the right drivers, I got it going through Color OS installation with special phone flashing tool, then flashing X44 again, unlocking, custom recovery+rooting... that was (deserved) fun!!
Though in the first moments it scared me s***tless!
Long story short, totally agree to just flashing the full nightly and directly clean on top any LP rom you want, if you want to be sure to have it right.

FWIW I flashed the alpha modem.zip after flashing and booting SlimLP ROM. Worked fine, absolutely no problems.

Great info! Would you please add a screenshot showing the baseband version? Everything seems to work but my version is starting with ".3.0.c6...". Thanks!

That weird baseband version is the correct one, no worries.

So first flash the 3rd zip (cm12 nightly)
Then dirty flash the main Rom or whats the next step?
Thank you

The full nightly should be flashed first, then wipe clean in recovery and install your actual rom (or restore).

So, I have been looking at every single rom since xmas and I haven't yet taken the plunge.
I keep hearing about the modem flash, and while I am not scared at any flashing, I am a bit unsure what happens with the modem flash.
Are all the bands in this alpha modem flash? Can I expect my phone to able to make calls and connect to 4G (LTE) / 3G (UMTS and HSPA+) afterwards?
I do apoligize for me being somewhat retarded in this regard..

Yes, your phone should continue to operate as normal, all services and bands included.

I went for number 3. Did a backup of my temasek ROM. Did a full wipe and installed cm nightly. Had full signal and thought great, this is the right modem. Restored my temasek and signal is gone again.
Any idea why? Did I restore too much of my temasek? Boot, system and data.
Thanks

It might just need another reboot after initial restore to reconnect.

I seem to have no issues with cell data on the new modem (running CM12 nightly) but the WiFi sucks. Is this part of the modem or the ROM? Frequently disconnects to my home WiFi and range seems worse than CM11. Hopefully this will be fixed in a modem update soon.

Not sure what to tell you. I have no WiFi problems. SlimLP ROM

So I just recovered from a hard brick with a dead battery.... it was brutal. I'm looking to do things more carefully going forward. I'd like to keep CM11S as primary. But obviously I want lollipop asap. If I backup CM11S nandroid... wipe clean, flash CM12 nightly for the modem and such, and then clean wipe and restore CM11S to primary from nandroid... will the modem changes that CM12 nightly made persist? I'd like that.... then I could flash some lollipop roms as secondaries and benefit from the modem changes that cm12 made?

The CM11S and the current CM-12 nightlies both contain the full phone partitions when flashing, so when you flash either of them you'll get that version's full modem package.
For MultiRom users a simple trick for this is to add/use a dummy secondary rom and use that one to do these fresh flashes as to save some time (no need for cache rebuilt on your already installed rom etc.). Afterwards that dummy can just be deleted if the space is needed.

[Q] Flashing Sprint S5 back to stock ROM fails

I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 that was up to the latest and greatest version of Android (Sprint's version, anyway) the other day (5/19/15). I decided to root and flash a variant of CyanogenMod 12.1 that was highly recommended by some others. The root and ROM flash were successful and uneventful. However, this ROM and many others based on CyanogenMod 12.1 are all experiencing issues with Bluetooth and skipping of audio. This has been mentioned in several other posts recently. Rather than suffer any more with this, I decided to download the latest stock firmware for Sprint S5 and get it back to the way it was before I rooted and flashed it. I downloaded Odin 3.07 and the stock ROM file. I followed what was shown in this post. I csn't seem to get this to work.
Here is the error I get in Odin:

Here is the error I see on my phone:
I've been able to flash lots of other ROMs (although they are all based on CM 12.1 with the same Bluetooth bug, so they are not usable for me). I've been able to put MOAR on, and that is working OK, but I would really like to get this back to the way it was. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something? Have I missed something I should be doing?

Forgot to mention that I am currently running on MOAR v 6.2 OA6.

So moar rom is working? You can't downgrade the firmware if you took the od3 update or whatever the revision is that just came out. They locked out flashing back to previous builds in the latest firmware I've heard.

Interesting. Yes, MOAR is working just fine. I guess, since it's basically the same as stock Samsung, I should just use it. I like the extra tweaks and tools built in to it. But I really liked CM 12.1 (except for the stupid issues with Bluetooth). I guess I'll stick with MOAR until some gets a stable ROM for CM 12.1 or later out. Hopefully that won't be too far off.

What is your baseband version? As @tdunham stated the latest ota killed it from downgrading. So if you arent on OA6 you wont be able to odin that Stock firmware or any other earlier versions. You will have to find the full OC3 tar

I have baseband version G900PVPU2BOD3. Does the baseband remain intact, regardless of the ROMs I have flashed?

Baseband changes, but bootloader doesn't. That is why you get a fail in Odin trying to install stock. Its kind of like a locked bootloader per say. Not really locked, but not able to downgrade. All in all the update to OD3 did what it was suppose to do by preventing a "thief" from factory resetting your device. Although that doesnt matter to people like us because we root for reasons and need that option to downgrade

So is there any option to get my phone back to the stock ROM I had on it before I started all of this? Is that ROM available somewhere? I don't think I've seen it. I don't mind using MOAR. I had plans for doing some phone swaps after getting a new phone, and my wife will probably end up with mine. I don't necessarily want to give her a phone that has too much tweaking and settings that she won't understand how to use.

You've taken the OTA to OD3 if I read that right. As I understand it, as of now at least, you can't downgrade the firmware with OD3.

As I have this exact same issue and would like my phone back on a stock firmware. Is there anyway to flash the current firmware that the sprint device is on and not downgrade? or am i stuck for a while ? ( I'm also on the moar rom and have tried stupidly all the older firmwares... i also tried the s5 sprint oa6 with no luck. Do i need to go even further forward?
Much Appreciated

If you're already on OD3, you can't do anything about it. You can however flash any custom rom from OA6, MOAR 6.2 works just fine with OD3.

No way of knowing, since I was already rooted and on MOAR, I'm still on OA6 firmware and don't plan to change that.

Xperia bootloop upgrading to 5.1.1 (FTF D2303 Generic UK 18.6.A.0.182)?

The last thing I remember flashing was Clockword Mod 11 last year, ever since then I have been running Firmware build 18.3.1.C.1.15. Upon seeing an update for my phone for Firmware build 18.3.1.C.1.17 I attemted to download it and kept getting the message "Cannot Verify" so after trying this out on PC Companion and relocking my bootloader I was still running into problems. So the simplest thing I could think of is to use Flashtool and flash the latest ftf from there (Firmware 18.6.A.0.182 - obtained from XperiFirm), at first I didnt think it was a problem to not wipe USER_DATA as I just thought of it as an upgrade, if that failed I persumed I would have to wipe everything (this didnt matter much anyway). So I went ahead and flashed the rom however when I went to boot my mobile I got a bootloop "Android is optimising apps xxx of xxx" this went on forever untill I cut the power using a pin. So I tried it again this time wiping everything and still the same problem :crying: . Then I came across people on the forums to use the older FlashTool verison 0.9.18.6 since the new FSC feature can cause probelms, this time I tried it again however I used the older Firmware 18.6.A.0.172 just to be failsafe. Still the same problem. Right then I was thinking Emma would save my phone so I went and applied the 4.4.4 Firmware 18.3.1.C.1.15 service (Which I had to begin with) but for some reason this seemed to have little effect despite trying it twice and reciving a "Sucessful Flash" message. Now I am left very confused as it is still booting in the lollipop style (optimising apps loop) even though I flashed a KitKat rom. I have been left without my phone all day because of this, any help would be STRONGLY APPRICIATED! . Thanks for your time

#1 Open your bootloader again
#2 Install TWRP (See 5.1.1 root topic for installation/guide)
#3 Open TWRP Wipe all data
#4 Reboot into recovery
#5 Flash any custom rom like Cyanogenmod through TWRP
Post results please this is fixable It's seems It's a soft brick which is an easy fix
What i think is you had corrupt data/left over data and after you relocked bootloader something went wrong after flashing. Though flashing should wipe all data let's see

Re-flash ftf wiping data and caches, you must do this if going from 4.4.4 to 5.1 and From 5.1 to 4.4.4 due to changes in runtime from dalvik to art and other changes.

How to get near enough stock?
Thanks for your replies, when I flashed the ftf's I did tick all the boxes under 'Wipe' on FlashTool, when that failed so did emma. I can try flashing CWM however the main purpose of this was for me to upgrade to Lollipop as I wanted a near enough stock experiance (Considering Z5 Rom) with root. When I tried CWM before there were a few things that I just coulnt get used to. Is there any way that I could use recovery to flash a stock rom with the lastest Lollipop releese or Z5 experiance as I have backups on PCC that I have to restore (Important contacts, media etc...) and I dont really want to use a CWM based rom . I wouldnt mind to flash Z5 however I dont know if this is possiable could you guys comfirm this? Thanks for your time .

[Update] TWRP recovery is working!
I have followed this thread to update my Recovery - TWRP 2.8.7.0 .
Many Thanks to @linuxct for the straight forward instructions and @ARandomIndian for putting me in the correct direction :highfive: .
Im just unsure if I can flash Z5 Experiance Rom now. Is it possiable despite my android being messed? I have already wiped data, is it okay to just go and flash? .

Don't worry you're android is not messed up, let's do this to fix it back to regular :-
Before starting i highly recommend you charge your phone to have atleast 50+% battery and use the official cable provided also make sure the cable is firmly inplace,
#1 Enter Recovery, wipe all data
#2 Download Stock 5.1.1 i think you like that so get that (Make sure it is for your D2303 or whatever your model is)
#3 Install latest flashtools with latest patch (Or later versions if you don't want to risk it)
#4 Go to the location of flashtools (installation directory) for me it is C:\Flashtool\drivers Open the exe file there, select the 2 Flashmode and Fastboot drivers install them.
#5 Flash the ftf using flashtools

Using TWRP I wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data. Using the same 18.6.A.0.182 Customization UK FTF from yesterday I flashed my phone but somehow I am stuck with the same bootloop again?! "Android is optimising Apps XXX of XXX" I really dont understand this. . Thanks for your help .

Yes but this does not seem normal, the first boot always freezes on the wave animation. It then restarts by itsself and optimises upto so many for example 64 of 200 and then freezes and restarts with a different ammount like 90 of 194. This didnt seem normal to me, is this okay?
Edit: I have left it running for almost 40 min now. Every time just before it seems to freeze and reboot it never reaches the end of the ammount say 60 of 200. I'm becoming very doubtful that it is going to work . But I just remembered a while back that I flashed a custom boot img to get recovery and root in my last working state. Maybe this has somthing to do with it?
Really need my phone working now :| If anyone can help please do! Thanks!

I tried flashing the Z5 experiance rom, I followed the instructions on the rom page (Used TWRP). However this time when it booted it did not say "Optimising Android" but it still did boot loop after the wave animation. I also tried flashing the older firmware but that did the same loop again, I also have been looking for alternative ftf's online becuase I also had the suspicion of a corroupted ftf however there are no Customized UK roms availble. I really am stuck now, my phone seems to be more messed up than I thought. . Any more Ideas?

If your bootloader is unlocked did you update it before flashing anything? If not this is why

I flashed that very bootloder before I flashed the Lollipop ftf I booted my phone and the same thing happend, so I tried it again this time flashing afterwards an still booting with the same damn screen . Was I definatly using the correct bootloader or am I missing out anything when flashing? My phones rebooted like 5 times now for the 'optimisation' and its getting nowhere .
Shall I fire up my classic Nokia 5230 with custom Symbian to record a video so you guys can see what happens when it boots?

Did you wipe user data and cache when flashing the ftf

Yes, everything in the 'Wipe' section was ticked, infact before I flashed it again I also wiped Dalvik, cache, data and system in TWRP.

So I just flashed CWM 12.1 and its all running fine for some reason the Wifi doesnt work but atleast I can use this untill we find what the problem is. Do you guys know why my WiFi isnt working? But more importantly why does CWM work and stock rom doesnt?!
Edit: The reason the WiFi isnt working has to be a problem with the kernal as far as I can see, this also suggests that the kernal could be incompatable with Lollipop as it wasnt designed to support it? Correct me if im wrong but if this is the case where can I download the official latest kernal? If someone could confirm this by checking my kernal version above that would be great! Thanks!
I previously updated my kernal here the one that says [new]. If you look at post #8 you will see that this kernal has a problem with WiFi in CWM "As I suspected, in kernel modules there's no WiFi module (wlan.ko), I think that that's the reason why WiFi is not working.

Redmi 4 is a mid-end device released by Xiaomi (along with 4A, 4 Prime) in November 2016. The device itself is very similar to Redmi 3S in every aspect, expect it has a few improvement to some components. (For example the Wi-Fi, where 5GHz connection is now possible)
Device specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4-8419.php
Available official ROMs: http://en.miui.com/download-318.html
Rooting only possible via official unlock (There is no known method for unofficial unlock)
No official Global ROM was released yet.

Unfortunately no
There is a Global ROM available from the official MIUI site, but it has in-calling bugs, and is not released officially.

Redmi 4 just got it's very own subforum!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xiaomi-redmi-4

Can somebody please give his QCN file from Redmi 4? I need to fix my baseband and IMEI... Thank you.

Clean android....
Hello, i'm new user on this forums. I have very big problem with my device.
I got second model of Redmi 4, first one had malfunction of SIM module (after instaling CM 13), and device wasnt detecting SIM's at all (what more interesting SD cards was detected) on both slots. After service i got brand new Redmi 4, installed CyanogenMod 13 as only properly working OS* and starting to have the same issue.
*So now let me explain why i threat CM 13 as only working OS - it uses battery as it should. On every MIUI (which seems to not be official) including MIUI 9 my battery just drain. For example with 1-2 hours of daily usage on CM my battery can keep 7-14 days, which is perfect resoult, while on MIUI even unused device is keeping max 4 days, and battery usage says Android OS and android (process names) eat 40 % of battery (sometimes up to 56%). I'm installing OS by full wipe, so its not the case of files remaining from older OS.
NOW final question to all specialists here - from where can i get CELAN ANDROID MARSHMALOW or NOUGAT for my model (Redmi 4 prada)? Installation as i understand properly is the same as in case of ROM right (TWRP) or maybe flash?
Please answear, i'm looking over internet 2 months right now, and spending all my free time after job on unsuccessfull searching for help.

Hello,
After I flashed my phone to MIUI 9 (can't remember which one - so many I tried), I got the success message on MiFlashTool, but my phone didn't restart. It was dead.
I mananged to revive it but I had lost many sensors, like wi-fi, bluetooth, etc. I managed to fix those and then I was getting an error about IMEI (can't ID the device) or something like that. Basically my IMEI was gone. I found a fix for that. The phone can now detect the SIM card.
My issue is that it can't connect to the GSM network of my carrier.
I double checked the APN settings - they are good. When I dial *#*#4636#*#* I see the 'turn radio on' button but it doesn't do anything.
Switching back and forth between different versions of MIUI did not help. I tried flashing the NON HLOS bin file via command prompt, I got the okay message, but it didn't fix the problem. I tried flashing the 3 modem files via TWRP, again, it didn't fix my problem.
They talk about restoring EFS on a thread, but I don't know how to do that or if that will help. I don't have the back up files anyways for EFS.
Can anyone help?
Currently I am on CyanogenMod 13 (OS 6.0.1).
Thanks
Andrei

Wow, you really mess up bro...
Let's see... First I advise you to flash the official fastboot ROM from the official forum and see if boot normaly.
If not, you can try unbrick the phone by 'test points'.

Hey
Thanks. The phone boots normally, everything works except for the radio. All commands for the radio can't be changed. If I do *#*#4636 phone information, I see my SIM Card, it shows my carrier (Rogers). WHen I click the 3 little buttons to select the band it shows unknown and lists a few options, including the one I think it the one I need (GSM 850/1900 - i'm in Canada). When I select that band it shows unsuccessful....What can it be?

I must admit that is out of my league.. Sorry
You saying the radio is turned off and can't receive calls? You don't have signal?
In the 'Phone Information', in the button of the page, there is a option that say 'Turn Radio On/OFF', try it.
But... You say you have some modem files, right? If is the same I used when I change to a custom ROM, maybe can help. Try flashing that files in TWRP.

Sorry, I remember now one thing...
Which fastboot ROM you use? China Stable or Dev?
Try use the Dev ROM and in Miflashtool, select 'Clean All' option.
Hope this work

Then only by test points, don't see any other options.. At least for now..

What is the benefit of using test points vs fastboot?
Thanks

Well... The test points is more for when the phone is really mess up, phone don't boot, not enter the 'fastboot', etc... normally know as 'hard brick'. It's the "ultimate" recovery.
In the PM I send to you, there is a link to a post in the official forum explaining where, and 'how to' do.
But... If you are not comfortable doing that, then, don't do.
Anyway... I can't help you more, sorry
Try asking in the official forum for help. They are more active than here.

r u working on this rom ??

how you got the sim cards And Networks showing up in status bar because it was a bug sim cards and network not showing up in status bar but it does show up in settings ??

The project has been probably abandoned so AFAIK no more updates. Even the thread of the ROM is closed.

i followed the steps mentioned in the thread but it didnt showed up and i have tried this many times when i installed the rom first time

After restart device quickly double press power button then unlock your phone if locked..It's work for me

Not sure how effective is this method. But worth giving a try partially worked for me.
Based on few posts I came across claiming for working VoLTE.
Note:- Quite a lenthy and time consuming method
Prerequisite :- 1) Stock MARSHMALLOW
2) Stock NOUGAT
3) MIUI
4) TWRP​According to these posts if you flash MIUI over the Stock nougat(not the soak test) VOLTE should work fine.
Doing so will loose the fingureprint functionality (since it requires stock MARSHMALLOW).
Again doubting on the Volte but I got my fingerprint sensor working(flashed over nougat soak test).
Give a try to this.
[*]1) Backup your Data.
[*]2) Downgrade to Stock MARSHMALLOW.
[*]3) Install TWRP
[*]4) Flash MIUI.
[*]5) Complete Intial setup and configure fingureprint sensor (you will be unable to modify afterwards hence configure as many figures as you want).
[*]6) Go to TWRP backup (MIUI) this rom(Store it on external drive or sd card).
[*]7) Again Downgrade to MARSHMALLOW.
[*]8) Upgrade to Stock Nougat (not the soak test one)
[*]9) Install TWRP
[*]10) Restore (MIUI)​
Hopefully this should work. (I didnt tried on Stock Nougat but on Nougat soak test Fingureprint sensor is working properly)

can u share download links......as its been asked several times by sevral user...still no one replies

Whats steps you followed.

can you validate what this fellow has to say, Due to limited internet i am unable to do so,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/how-to-fix-volte-data-service-hotspot-t3598177

So I need some help and I'm hoping someone here can help.
I've tried, probably 5 or 6 times to flash this rom, but to no avail.
Every time I flash it it says "no sim card"and I know there is an issue with the SIM card error, it's been mentioned many times here. However when I do go into the settings, and I go into "about phone, under "SIM card settings" it shows "no SIM card". During initial set up, I get a pop-up that says 'IMEI cannot be verified." It also says "unknown" for network status (in sim settings). I have no data connection, nor does the phone connect whatsoever (I tried calling a few numbers; no luck).
I've tried flashing just the MIUI rom after a full wipe (including system, dalvik, cache and data) - no luck.
I've tried flashing from both MM and N rom's, doing only a cache and data wipe - no luck there either.
I'd really like to be able to get this rom going on my phone.
Any help or advice is much appreciated. Please, and thank you.

You just have to reboot one time when you have this issue and then, you can achieve setup wizzard.

I just tried that, still no luck. No phone or data connection. I even tried the "double tap" power button truck; didn't do anything. ?
