I successfully installed a CM13 ROM for a different variant than my phone. Installed ROM jfltexx variant intended for a Gt19505 model S4 on an i337z S4. It worked and now the device model in phones settings shows listed as GT19505.
ROM works fine, phone dialer functions but I read that I should update the radio firmware. I have had a call or two drop off with no ringing sound but call is apparently going through but I can not hear person on receiving end.
So what baseband modem firmware do I update to? The true hardware i337z or the GT19505 that the phone is working as? I went from Kit Kat 4.4.2 to Marshmallow 6.0..
Baseband Version after installing CM13 jfltexx remains the original i337ztuuboa3. Everything else has changed to reflect CM13 ROM. Build, Kernal etc.
I'm baffled so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm suffering the very some issue and few others.
Just noticed that my present baseband is I9505XXUGNF1.
I've downloaded the I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505ITVHOJ1_ITV nd extracted both modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin and flashed using Heimdall on OSX via cli.
But the phone is still reporting the old BB number.
You need to flash i337z model's RIL files & Modem. Don't know where you will get that but that's what you need to flash for sure..

Thanks. I'll search around. Problem with calls is few
Few. I say 5 % of time usually when I'm going from one area to another so I'm not certain I want to mess up phone. Couple of questions, I am using latest modem for phone as far as I know, bought it in Oct 15,and Cricket has no new update beyond 4.4.4. Are you positive it will not mesd
To flash should I use existing TWRP recovery, Odin. for those file types? I'm guessing Odin.
Once again thanks for your help

Dear Friends,
I recently flashed XtreStoLite Deodexed Mod Edition for my phone. Before that I didn't bother which Model I have.
Now I can see several entries in the settings. Some, like Phone Model say SM-G920I while the Baseband information says it's a SM-G920F?
The Phone isn't working properly. I have massive battery drain and the 4G connection is quite unstable and choppy. I figured that might be due to the Modem. I want to flash the right modem now but I am confused about which version to flash (F or I)
I haven't changed the BL or Modem yet and it says it's F Version)
Thanks for your help
Thomas
If your baseband reads as 920F and you have never flash BL via odin before, it is a 920F. XtreSto latest rom is based on 920i so thats why it shows that in model number. You can refer to XtreSto post 3 for latest baseband and model version for 920F. I suggest you download wakelock detector or betterbatterystat to find out whats draining your battery.
Hello,
Just bought a topaz blue unlocked S6. I think it came from an Asian country. The phone arrived perfectly with plastic in box with the same IMEI as phone. However it was rooted with SU. I went into the app and clicked to remove root. It was on 5.0.2. They I tried to flash original firmware with Smart Switch with no success.
I used odin to flash stock 5.1.1 firmware from the UK. The firmware was for 920F. It went all good. I have LTE, SMS and phonecalls. However, sometimes the baseband appears as unknown, but I still can make calls and have LTE. And it still shows the same IMEI as it is on the box and it has always shown it. Is there a way to fix this? Now, I try to flash stock firmware with Smart Switch and it says it can't initialize.
I would REALLY appreciate help. I would love to be able to flash stock firmware from Smart Switch.
I'm in México with Telcel, which uses the same bands as AT&T.
P.S. I really searched and couldn't find anything on my specific situation.
That happened to me when I was still on 5.0.2 and flashed only the 5.1.1 modem. I would suggest downloading the modem.tar file and flash that. Should all be good after that.
I'm currently downloading G920FXXU1AOD4 BTU firmware to flash it with Odin. Might that help me better? My main goal is to be 100% stock without any weirdness. And having Smart Switch recognize my phone!
Well, I'm sad.

You cannot downgrade to 5.0.2 from 5.1.1. Your bootloader will not support. I have the issue with 3G connection. Where to get the Modem.tar?
Hi everyone,
First, thanks everyone for all the information I have found in this forum for the past few weeks.
Now my problem : I have a Moto G 4G XT1039 that keep losing signal randomly. The only way to get my signal back to call or receive sms seems to be a reboot of the phone.
I don't remember exactly when it started but I think it was around June. Until a month ago I never tried to root or flash my phone. I just used the official updates from Motorola. I live in France and the phone is perfect for me except this problem.
I read here and there that a lot of people seems to have the issue but I'm surprised nobody seems really pissed of.
I downgraded to 4.4.4 to see if it would solve my problem but it did not. I read that the signal loss could be caused by Android 4.4.2 so should I downgrade further ?
This weekend I flashed a nightly from CM 13, the problem is still here.
What can I do ? The problem seems to be related to the radio firmware, can I downgrade the radio firmware and keep a recent android or CM13 ?
For information my baseband version is m8926_309101.02.03.14r.
I'm not sure I post my problem in the good forum but it could help other people in my situation.
If someone has an idea....
Thanks
Firstly try the Stock ROM and Radio Firmware available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 - follow flashing instructions to the letter - after this you can move on to CM13 if desired.
Well I have already done that, after I tried the 4.4.4 version.
I was on 5.1 then I downgraded to 4.4.4 then got back to 5.1 then tried CM 13.

Did you fastboot flash the Radio Firmware from that thread? Commands are in FAQ.
Yes I did. I event tried to flash the 5.1 radio firmware while still having the 4.4.4 android.
The baseband version I gave in my opening post is the last one for the EU region I believe.
Other Solutions to try:
1) Change SIM card / get a new SIM
2) Fastboot flash the Stock Factory Firmware Image for your phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795/post64203816
Thanks, I was going to order a new sim card to try this solution.
I already flashed the latest stock firmware last week but i will try again from scratch to be sure.
Provide fastboot logs (copy and paste command prompt) when flashing the firmware image. Fastboot may not provide errors, "okay" can mean total failure.
Hi,
Just to say that there is apparently no more signal loss with the CM13 nightly from 12/11. I hope it will last.
In the end I didn't flash stock firmware.
Thanks again for your suggestions, I will come back if the problem is back.
Hi ,
I have a flashed a rom that I think did not work for my model ( Now my phone says model number is SM-G925K) and I have no more signal. I believe the model number is the issue, but I'm not sure...
It was supposed to be a SM-G920W8.
Any idea how I can reverse it back?
This is the rom that I tried to install : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-aterminatorg920f3zpa1m-6-0-11-0b-t3295183
This is the rom that I was on :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
Please help!
flashed stock rom, re-rooted the phone and Flashed TWRP and the same old rom I had .. everything is fine now
Displaying different phone model is just a build.prop thing, no reason to panic.
The reason why the ROM you tried to flash doesn't work or give signal is obvious. The rom is posted in the 920F/I thread and therefore shouldnt really work for your device (920w8?), unless stated so (Xtrelite rom says it does). That beta rom has only 92xF bootloader/modem, which obviously doesnt work for you.
I decided to experiment a bit and used this rom "http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-android-6-0-t3237502" which is CM13 with the experimental 6.0.1 on my S5. Everything worked flawlessly except I cannot use my signal at all. I decided to mess with my APN settings but couldn't get it to connect to no avail. I want to downgrade back to my phones stock firmware (5.0). Can anyone help?
Also my phone model is a SM-900P. Its the boost variant but they're interchangeable between the Sprint/Boost variants.
If possible, I would like to just downgrade back to 5.0, but if anyone could help with restoring my signal on 6.0.1 It'll be greatly appreciated!
