Something stupid

I think i did something stupid. Yesterday I decided to upgrade de modem/radio on my Note 3 running on ProBAM 1.3.3. I flashed CP-modem-NE6.tar. I was on CP_N9005XXUENC2.tar.md5 radio/modem with bootloader BL_N9005XXUEND6.tar. I was using the normal kernel which came with the rom.
After this update everything seemed to work okay. Until I decided to make a phonecall. Then my phone got hung up and I had to reboot. After the reboot the calling issue was not fixed. I tried flash back to my former radio/modem but that didn't work as well. Only mobile internet 3G/4G/HSDPA works and my phone has signal, but i cannot receive calls (i dont hear a ringtone) and make calls myself.
So I decided to make a full wipe of system, data, sdcard and start from scratch with a full Samsung Stock rom. I used this one: N9005XXUEND3_N9005PHNEND1_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5. PHN is the CSC code for The Netherlands. The rom installs fine in Downloading Mode. After installing i went to the stock recovery and did a system reset/wipe and cleared the cache partition. Then the rom booted fine. What is strange is that i dont hear the standard bootsound during booting. For me this was a clue that something is not good. I still can't receive and make calls and my phone don't function anymore like it should. The sound buttons react very slow, camera doesn't work anymore. The samsung music app makes my phone to hang etc.
Has anyone have a clue on what can be wrong and how to correct it?

Short Story - Modem Should match the rest of the firmware. Flash the Stock NE6 Full rom which you pulled out the Modem from. Things should be back to normal. Made the Same Mistake with NE3. Dont flash and try to fix it in another way, You might lose the IMEI resulting in a visit to the Service Center.
P.S - Some "wannabe" will point out that this post needs to be in the Q&A Section soon.

Problem is that i only have that modem file CP-modem-NE6.tar and flashed that onto my existing rom. I don't even know which stock rom it was pulled from. To test I just flashed N9005DXUENE3_N9005OLCENE4_N9005DXUENE2_HOME.tar.md5 but nothing has changed about this problem. What is the next step?

Flashing NE3 wont solve your problem. Find the NE6. You might get lucky in samfirmware.com

Did you write only the modem or you also wrote NON-HLOS.bin? Also sometimes it is said that you also need to flash the corresponding RIL.

I wrote both files. First modem.bin and then took out the battery, replaced it and booted to download mode again and flashed non-hlos.bin and again pulled the battery, put it back and booted the rom.

Until you get on a NE6 firmware (Same version the Modem CP was pulled from), Nothing else will help. I went through this path. It was a headache Mate. However NE6 Firmware is not that bad. Just the uneasy feeling that It's not XX, but a DX.

Sorry Mate, Obviously didn't meant to hurt your feelings. It was a random thought which I dedicated to a few "certain users" who reply - "this should be in Q&A" without answering the poor soul's question.
Some time ago here in XDA, In a situation like this, First we see the answers, then a moderator silently moves this to Q&A and put up a warning to the bloke who made the mistake. Unfortunately nowadays, just as soon as people see the thread is in the wrong section, they just bark as if they suddenly turned blind to the problem OP is having. Mistakes are not made purposely, and obviously these are people who's new to forum.
I went through the same problem by jumping to the NE6 modem a few days ago. So I know how this agony feels.
Man kann die Natur nicht ändern.

No one can hurt my feelings in an Forum, so no prop
The point is, the Rules are sticked on top >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46416908
So when i'm new on an Forum the first thing should be reading and respecting these.
I was Mod in an German Smartphone Forum (Handy-Faq) and i know it's an pain in the ass always remembering people to follow the rules and move unmatched stuff into the right sections. Mods usually don't get paid and doing this in her Freetime. They're trying to provide and clean Forum and this takes a lot of time, especially in such an huge Forum like XdA.
So it shouldn't be that hard to take the time and read at least the sticked Stuff, before posting...
Just think, you're coming home from work and open the Forum. The first thing you'll have to do is to go through the Threads and move this and that, simply because it's posted wrong or there's already an Thread about it. For Example there are meanwhile a couple of Threads about this Problem in Q&A. So I instead of helping people you used 30min or more to clean the Threads.

The problem is that on Sammobile.com i only can find firmware version N9005ZHUENE6 and i cannot get this firmware to flash correctly to the phone. It keeps telling the the system partition cannot be written because it doesn't match the phone orso...

ZH Series is for Hongkong. Hong Kong N9005 is 16GB, so yeah It will not flash to the 32GB version.
Check the thread where you found the Modem from, The Link for the Rom will be there.

Stupid thing and together lucky is that i just flashed the NE4 radio and all seems to be back to normal again. Phone is again fast and everything seems to work again. Now I have to test with making calls.
Will report back later this evening.

[Completed] Need help with my Sprint m7

[MANDATORY INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE DEPLOYED] Okay so as the title states I have an issue with my Sprint HTC One (m7) [MANDATORY INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE Complete].
The issue in question is lack of GPSability after flashing (you guessed it) Cyanogenmod 11 and currently CM12. I have tried multiple ROMs since then and all of them either don't fix the issue or wont install or work at all. So now I'm back to CM12 and everything works terrifically except for GPS...which I need...alot.
Now of all the research I've done on finding a fix for this infuriating problem has led me to believe that the only real way to fix this is to flash to a stock ROM, get a GPS fix/lock/signal/whathaveyou and then wipe and flash back over to your ROM of choice HOWEVER....heh heh I kinda un-acquired my backup, it somehow got erased during some blunder during the initial rooting process and I was dumb enough to not have saved a backup on my pc...oops.
Now I am aware that there are other ways of restoring my device to stock by other means such as RUU processes but I am not able to perform this process as my internet connection on my pc is dependent on my phone itself via tethering.
I also know that some have had luck by flashing new kernels however I have not been able to find one that worked for me.
So I guess what I'm asking is does anyone know of any other way I could restore my phone to stock using methods that don't require my pc to be connected to the internet, know of a place where I can find a flashable stock ROM or simply just fix my GPS issue outright?
I appreciate any assistance anyone can offer and hope I even have this posted in the right area. Thank you in advance.

You may wish to ask for help in this thread htc-one/help
All the best!!!!

Rooting and Custom ROM Problems

So, I'm sure I'm probably doing something incredibly stupid..
I just got my Note 5 today. I've been trying to flash a custom ROM, TEKXodus first and then Dr Ketan's ROM. I managed to get them to boot up (at least Ketans, I've been trying so long today at this point I'm not sure if I ever got TEKXodus to load).
However, after finally getting in, my SIM card isn't being detected, neither is the baseband and IMEI. The phone registers as a N290I instead of N290T.
Did I flash something wrong? Would the wrong version of recovery cause this? Kernels?
This isn't my first time rooting and flashing ROMs, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to start from scratch (square one) and odin flash the
official stock Samsung N920T Tmobile Marshmallow 6.0 firmware
before doing anything else.
You can find the N920T Marshmallow 6.0 firmware here:
http://sammobile.com
Good luck,
Have a great day!

The phone came with Marshmallow already installed I believe. Either way I've currently got the stock TMobile installed now and am still having the same problem.

Perhaps your phone came with the wrong version of Marshmallow 6.0 if the phone was not new when you got it.
Either way I bet you still have NOT Odin flashed the full official stock samsung N920T 6.0 Marshmallow firmware
which can be found at http://sammobile.com
If you finally decide to do the above be sure to do a full wipe and factory data reset before you odin flash.
And forget about roms until you get the phone working properly with the stock N920T odin flash firmware.

Will definitely double check and retry that when I get off of work.

And that worked!
Thank you so much, I was working off a different MM build apparently. Probably would never have figured that out by myself.

Help! XT925 wifi wont turn on ... baseband problem?

XT925, JBBL and CWM 6.0.4.4
Has been running cm-12-20150408-NIGHTLY-xt925_jbbl for a long time.
Decided it was time to update, being JBBL there is only cm-12-20150417-NIGHTLY-xt925_jbbl which is newer.
Flashed that without issue and it appeared to be fine, however no wifi.
SIM, Bluetooth, NFC all ok, but when you turn on wifi nothing happens. Change screens and wifi is back to being turned off.
Hunted around, found a CM13 build for XT925, installs fine, everything works well ... still no wifi.
Went to a CM11 version ... still no wifi.
Rolled back to cm-12-20150408-NIGHTLY-xt925_jbbl which it has been on for about a year ... yep, no wifi.
Checked the baseband version each time and it is always vanquish_u_bp_100700.250.66.01P
I can get my way around flashing some roms, but I am no expert, so not sure if the baseband should change or if it is even related to this issue.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Definite baseband problem
So after a lot more messing around, and reimaging and trying a bunch of stuff, I am now at "Unknown baseband" and have no radio connectivity at all.
There are a bunch of posts about this mostly for Samsung phones, the general theme is to get a stock image and reflash it. Or to try and erase the modem/ modemst1/ modemst2 partitions.
The issue is I cannot find a suitable stock image. Most of the links etc are dead as razr HD is pretty old now.
Its originally an Australian version of the XT925, though really that should not matter, any XT925 firmware should work I think, although I found the Rogers firmware and it bricked the phone pretty badly and took a while to recover it.
So if anyone has a lead on where I can find an image for the radio/modem or patch of that nature or has any good ideas on how to recover from this problem I would be grateful to hear.
Thanks.

some progress
well after more research, got a stock image installed, the trick was to use mfastboot.exe not the regular adb and fastboot.
Now have a baseband version back (same as before found a stock AU image eventually) however same issue as originally had which is now have mobile data connection but wifi doesn't work, auto disables when you turn it on.

Nailed down the problem to the persist partition, it was dead/corrupt.
Problem now is I need to get the files for it somewhere, I have created the wifi/bt mac addresses as there are some guides out there for that, but looks like I am missing some bin files as well.
Anyone able to have a look in their /persist and tell me what SHOULD be there?

finally fixed
After about a day of screwing around, its fixed.
Root cause, corrupt /persist partition.
The fix involved a combination of this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576
and eventually finding a copy of WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin and a decent stock firmware. As well as a lot of reading, swearing and experimenting.
After running so hot for so long it now has a bit of a bulge at the back, I think after 4years the battery is now going ... lol.
However now successfully running CM13 and I think everything is working.

G900PXXU1BOD3 rom, where can i find it?

Hi to everyone,
I have this unusual rom in my phone, as I have read through the internet, the XXU1 stands for a HongKong region.
The problem is, that there's nothing about such ROM on the internet, as if it never existed...
The phone was bought as new through online shop..
It has been unlocked through idoneapps. I use it in Europe. GSM and MOBILE data worked fine until I forced to update it through ODIN to G900PVPS3CPK1.
I was able to get the GSM to work, but the WCDMA network isn't available.. and the messages are split into pieces when I send them. As I've read, that is how they're sent in US.
I had tried many if not all of the roms, modems, kernels etc.. available in this SPRINT galaxy s5 thread..
but none gave me back the mobile network 4G.
So I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about such ROM (my original one) or where I could look for it? Maybe you have an idea what to do?

I searched for you. Here is the result.
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy S5 (Snapdragon)/5998/ITV/G900FXXU1BOD3/G900FITV1BOD2/
This page explains it all.
I think you remembered a character wrong, it is an F, not a P. if it is really a P, and you are sure your device model is SM-G900P, then you must buy a new phone with a wrong ROM. I don't think that happens a lot. G900P never has a G900PXXU1BOD3 ROM. I think you flashed a WRONG ROM in the first place. DO NOT flash the ROM in this post until you confirm that your phone's Model Number(you can check this yourself in Settings, About device) is SM-G900F.

Thanks for your response. The sad thing is that the phone is G900P. I have attached the screenshot below. I have made a full TWRP recovery of the rom before doing any flashing. I am able to restore it all except the modem, as TWRP doesn't restore modems.
If I put a newer ROM bootloader and modem and restore the backup - I get a bootloop. If i put an older one I get no signal and the lower buttons arent working. Though I found BOG1 modem to work with my current firmware, but it's not fluent. The phone feels laggy and GPS isn't working...
So I am looking for a complete rom that could work in this phone without any recovery..

Can you find ok4?? Runs awesome for me, use Odin to flash it, you'll lose twrp but then Odin twrp

Sorry for the late reply, you didn't quote me, so I did not get the notification that you have replied.
It's very weird that your bought G900P with a G900F ROM. G900P doesn't support WCDMA network, I don't know if it's blocked by software. But the link in my last post indicates that your reseller flashed G900PXXU1BOD3 for you in order to make WCDMA work. I don't know if you can simply flash official G900PXXU1BOD3, because the system with your phone may be modified in the first place. If you simply want to restore original backup with modem, drop back to TWRP 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-0, 3.0.2-1 wouldn't mount external SD card so you have to move your backup to internal storage, I didn't test 3.0.2-0 but I assume it's the least buggy recovery for G900P so far.

My mistake,
I believe I had tried to restore backup with those versions of TWRP. They don't restore the modem part and give me an eror (can't remember exactly how it sounds), but as far as I have read, TWRP does not restore modem. It is impossible. So I can only flash it by ODIN, but there is no such G900PXXU1BOD3 modem on the internet..
I wonder, what if I would simply flash the G900FXXU1BOD3 or never rom with F symbol, could it work out for me? Maybe you have read about someone doing that? So far its my only hope...

I don't know if someone deliberately flash a stock G900F ROM to G900P, it would have most likely bricked the device. But I have noticed a slight difference between the 2 pictures you posted, first 1 says baseband version is G900PXXU1BOD3, idoneapps says it's G900PVPU3BOG1, I don't know which one is more accurate. I couldn't find a seperated modem file of G900FXXU1BOD3, yet there is a way to extract it yourself, simply change filename extension md5 to tar and open it with compression software. After flash modem, restore your backup.
Edit 1: Maybe you need to flash CSC also when you flash modem. But no rush, just try modem only first.

Hello,
Curiously I have the same problem, I bought the mobile by Ebay to a Hong Kong user and it comes rooted and with problems I do not know how to solve, from the beginning the camera did not focus until suddenly by magic, it focused.
Now I want to do a ROM restoration but I am not able to find that version since from what I see in the answers you have offered here seems to be "trick", have you found any solution? I would appreciate it if you told me so please.
Thank you.
A greeting.
