Stock ROM via cwm is possible but I don't know if anyone have made a zip for it.
What country/service provider?

Could work, depending on how backups are stored. I can just tell that tarp looks for backups in a folder with your device-id.

What you need is system and boot, and a flashable zip with original recovery.

No i dont. Not as cwm flashable zip.
Backup from another phone probably works as long as the backup folder is named right so that recovery finds it.
Make a backup and folders will be created, use external storage.
Whole restore process would be:
Make sure binary count is zero with triangle away.
Boot download mode to make sure as well.
Copy backups of system and boot to backup folder.
Boot to recovery, factory reset, restore backups from other phone, factory reset again.
Boot system to see that all is OK.
Unroot from SuperSU settings if needed.
Back to recovery to flash flashable zip of stock recovery.
I guess you'll have to make one more factory reset from stock recovery to get everything official status.
I hope I didn't miss anything
(I can make that zip for you if you'll need it. Downloading firmware right now, just in case)

No problem at all. I could have made whole firmware for you if it wasn't for my damn internet upload when I'm at home. (data plan from my phone at the moment)
Downloaded firmware while I was at a friend.

Im pretty sure i8190 stock recovery will do anyway. We got the same partitions. Otherwise you would not been able to flash a custom recovery neither.

Good to hear that it worked out fine. I even flashed it myself to make sure it would work.
Nothing owned.. A simple push on thanks button is enough
Hope you'll get it back fully functional again.

Crashing Modem

Hi guys.
I've been having issues with my Atrix lately.
My phone ramdomly looses signal for like 10 seconds and it generates a folder named "bd-dumps" with 3 archives on it: ramdump_modem_fw.bin, ramdump_modem_sw.bin and ramdump_smem.bin.
I didn't changed anything on the phone when the problem started. I was running LiquidSmooth ROM (Very nice, BTW), and started noticing this issue. In fact, I noticed because my phone was lacking memory.
Now, I've been searching about this issue, but none of the solutions have worked for me. Some say is a bad SIM Card, others a bad network, but I am pretty sure that the issue is not about that.
Everytime that I turn on Data services, it happens. When data services are off, it doesn't. I can be using Wi-Fi just fine.
I have tried:
Flashing Stock with RSD Lite
Flashing Stock AT&T and Mexican ROMS
Flashing Stock manually
Flashing modem manually
Flashing several ROMS (CM and AOSP based)
Formatting partitions
Deleting the bd-dumps folder everytime it shows up
Formatting and fixing the modem partition
So far, nothing has worked. I'm attaching a log that I got exactly when this happens and when it gets signal again. Hope anybody can give me a hand.
Thanks, everybody.

Did you try flashing back to stock ATT 4.1.1, taking the OTA update, and testing again?

I flashed Stock AT&T 4.1.1 but didn't taked any OTA. Does that updates the modem or some module related? I will try it tonight, thanks for the advice!

Yes, there is a modem update included. What it does, I'm not sure. Before taking the update, my wi-fi would drop randomly. I've had solid wi-fi connections since the update. Reception also seems to have improved.

I think that is the latest firmware. The baseband should be mb886_bp_100740.071.65.04p.
This person had a USB issue and got it to work by restoring individual partitions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813418&page=3
Not sure if that would help.

Fortunately, yes. Check this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54833165&postcount=23
And just flash the modem partition. Then I recommend to go back to Stock and then, if you want, custom ROM. Before I went to stock I had signal issues, but the bd-dumps issue was gone. After flashing Stock, everything worked fine.
Try it, it should work. Don't forget to thank Erick! If you have any issues, let me know.

I didn't understand from erick post may be too complicated for me
Can you please make a guide in the general section for flashing a modem and to do all this . when you have time . it will be helpful for many people.

Did you flash Mexican or ATT Stock after flashing the modem partition?
EDIT. I just saw your post on another thread. I flashed the modem partition and then flashed Mexican Stock. Then i installed CM11 but im still having bd-dumps problems. I will try again but with ATT Stock

Of course, just don't forget to thank him because he gave the original solution.
Download this (Original link by ErickST18): https://www.dropbox.com/s/a5v8yakw5eshrmc/AHD_Blocks.rar
Use WinRAR to extract the files.
There are 1.img, 2.img, 3.img, etc etc archives. Focus on the 1.img.
Now, like when you flash the recovery on the command line (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), you will flash this one this way:
fastboot flash modem 1.img
Remember to put the 1.img archive on the same folder that you have the fastboot archive.
And that's it. Reboot, and then flash RSD with Stock. Then with you favorite custom ROM.
Hope it works for you. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

I just answered in the other thread, but I want to clarify that I used Mexican Stock because my phone is mexican (and I'm too ). If your phone is from AT&T, then I would recommend you to flash that one.

Already thanked him .
And thanks for your help too
Just one thing i need to know that is it neccessary to use rsd or i can use myth tools instead?

I guess you can use it, I honestly have never tried it, but if you can flash back to Stock with that, go ahead. There shouldn't be any problem.

Alright, people. I'm a noob here and I tried to do this to fix my Atrix HD modem using this. I hooked my cel in Fastboot mode, checked if it was recognized and all cool. I attempted to flash modem and I got a big fat failure.

Now I'm sutck in a bootloop. I'm not sure what is wrong (I'll say it again, I'm a NOOB)... Maybe I just need to flash something dumb, but I don't know what.
It won't let me flash cdrom from fastboot and I'm running out of battery. It also failed when trying to flash a STOCK ROM (4.1.1) with RSD lite (it got stuck in cdrom as well).

Well, first of all, if you are running out of battery, first flash the custom recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I would recommend Philz touch. After this, reboot your phone and enter in recovery presing power + up. Here your phone will charge.
If it doesn't work, try with another fastboot. That could be the issue, too. After you have enough battery, try again to flash RSD Lite to Stock. If it works, then try to flash the partitions. If nothing works, please let me know, let's find a solution

Your going to have to Odin back to stock NE4, then ota up from their.
If you have/want root then follow this thread....

I was under the impression I lost my root because I accidentally updated and my SU access would not work anymore.

Not a good idea to take OTA updates if your rooted....usually breaks root. The reason it won't update now is due to the fact you were rooted...even if you loose/unroot it still detects traces and the update fails. The only way to OTA now will be to use odin to flash back to stock NE4.
I see from the photo your on NG3 so you can reroot and go from their.

Ignorance would be not reading or asking anything until after you brick the phone :sly:
Nothing wrong with asking legit questions, that's what it's all here for:thumbup:
Since your on NG3 now my advice would be to use odin and flash the ne4 stock kernel...then you can use towelroot again...reinstall supersu...then again in odin flash back to the NG3 stock kernel. This will put you on NG3 with root. From their you can follow that top thread and it will put you on stock rooted 5.0.
Edit: Here is another thread for you...OP has all the steps to walk you through rerooting. Just skip the first step about taking the ota and go from their.

I really appreciate it, when I flash, will that wipe anything on my phone (data, apps, contacts, ect.) Or will it just be the firmware that is changed?

Flashing the kernels to root shouldn't delete any data, but the jump to 5.0 will. I'd strongly recommend backing up first just to be safe.

When your done, just make sure to freeze the Att software update app with titanium or similar, that will kill OTA so you don't have to worry about them sneaking an update in.

You'll need FlashFire, and I'd recommend TiBu...Good for freezing/removing bloat and backing up app data.

Thank you MrMike - went through that successfully. Still have a sick android though. Poor guys is laying on his back with his stomach open and parts coming out. How is it possible to step back to a different operating system and still have problems? Have you seen the symbol that I posted above before?

After looking at your picture I'm wondering if you have a fake phone or something because there is no N920VVRS2BPF2 firmware that I have seen before.. Can you take a picture of the front of your phone so I can see the bezels?
Even Google cannot find that firmware number...

Here is a pick.
I just got this phone last week, it was fine and operating perfectly. After getting apps downloaded and set up like my last phone, S6, I noticed it started to reboot itself and that apps would shut down. That's when I did a factory reset and saw the droid guy sideways. So some app, document or software download caused it to my knowledge.

where did you buy that from?

Alright let's try this.. Download the firmware from here or wherever you want and then extract them so you'll be able to see each of the files modem, bootloader, recovery etc etc and then use Odin to put each file in the respective slots individually so they flash that way.. You may even need to use a PIT too so it reflashes the partitions..

Earlier I downloaded the first "full firmware" at the page that you link. Are you saying I should download each individual file from the second or third down from the top of the page and follow the same instructions that I used this morning that are listed on your instructions to Downgrade back to Lollipop 5.1.1 on Verizon?
Sorry, this is all new to me.

No those files are already in the firmware that you downloaded all you need to do is extract them now so it's not a zip file or md5 type so you may have to extract it twice.

Even after extracting the firmware remains a MD5 file?? What type of file should it be?
And again, thank you for walking me through this. Trying to save this phone so I don't have to send it back and wait 10 days to get a replacement.

What type of extractor did you use? I have 7zip and when you extract the firmware the first time it should go from an md5 to a .zip and then you extract it again and then you should be able to see each of the files..
If I were you I'd immediately take that phone back to the store and get a replacement because there is no firmware number listed like N920VVRS2BPF2 anywhere on the Internet so there's something not right with that.

I'll try it with 7zip.

so with 7zip this is what I'm left with:
Where do they go into the lines of Odin - BL, AP, CP, CSC and do they look like the correct files to upload to phone?

That does look right. Just flash them 1 by 1 in the pda/AP section but go over to options and uncheck reboot so it doesn't reboot on you.. Flash them all system, cache, sboot, recovery, modem, cm.bin and the boot. But not the md5 ones.

I found out where the firmware came from N920VVRS2BPF2... That's Verizons newest OTA... Did you accept that today? But the one they have listed still doesn't match yours fully look here..
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note5-update/
I think it's to late because that update was a security patch and I think it is the update that finally stops us from being able to downgrad like I posted in my guide.. Even factory reset breaks the phone.. The only way to fix that now is to wait until the firmware is made available to download or send it in for another one.

So I'm SOL?

If the firmware you flashed didn't work the last thing you can try is the PIT to repartition the phones partitions and if that doesn't work then yes SOL but you can just take the phone to Verizon and say the update that was just sent screwed up your phone and you'll get another one. You might have to wait a few days but it's better than nothing!

No problem bro. Glad to help.

I can confirm Magisk v12 works flawlessly

I am currently running this rom and am planning on leaving metropcs since it seemed someone may have ruined their network. I paid for the 60 dollar a month plan and I cant even get close to a single megabit download speed. Is there any way someone could post or attatch a twrp backup of the modem? I tried to flash the stock modem from the stock firmware but I dont have a computer right now and accidentally erased my modem.

Install flashfire, you can do all that with the stock firmware package. No PC required. It's a godsend

I tried that but it failed miserably. I also tried to dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 (modem.bin from the csc file) in android and the twrp terminal. No luck! I remember a twrp backup of a working modem took care of the problem but I accidentally deleted it and dont have the proper technology to run testdisk or foremost on the internal memory to try and restore the radio.emmc.win.

nope. I also tried reflashing the stock firmware. Fails at boot loader. m2kefs /dev/block/mmcblk0p14. Now all I got is a tablet. Won't function at all with the modem in place.

I was finally able to resolve my situation. Thinking back.. I thought maybe I just accidentally turned my radio off but I actually hard bricked my phone because I had to format the modem partition for the phone to even function properly over WiFi. Perhaps if anyone else has that problem the new firmware posted on mega.nz will have the proper modem driver for hw rev 05. If not then this phone could have a factory limitation to stop people from developing their own open source Android Rom for the device. A defect I would call it in this case. Although I haven't been able to verify it because I have no reason to corrupt my modem and then try flashing the new firmware.

Fantastic bro. Such a rewarding feeling when you figure stuff out. So my firmware helped, or was it another package you found?

I have a J700T1 MetroPCS device. I have been pulling my hair out and studying day and night to run XModGames on my phone. (XMG "XModGames is a modding app for rooted phones to alter games) I have done this before on other phones. I have tried flashing a permissive kernel, and once it was permissive XMG would still give an error. I have installed BusyBox, deleted app data, changed XMG to system app through LuckyPatcher... Restarted and flash my phone several times! Just trying to figure this out... Can anyone give some ideas? I'm testing this ROM Deodex & Deknox but it stayed in T-Mobile boot screen for 30 minutes. I'm about to flash stock again.
