Doubt on I8190L - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
I used the mini tools to root my phone.
Installed BLN kernel without any problem.
My phone is on I8190LUBAMA1 and CSC I8190LZTOAMA1
i was looking at samsung-updates.com and saw some other firmwares newer than my stock.
Is it safe to download and install the firmware I8190LUBAMG2 ? Is marked as an Mexican firmware(I live in Brazil).
Installing this new firmware, do i lose cmw, root?
Thanks
Sergio

Hi Sergio, it is safe to install the mentioned firmware, however, consider that you are going to lose CWM and root. Furthermore, as the firmware is Mexican, it contains local apps. So, if you are planning to move to this new firmware I suggest you to after do it install the cwm again through Odin and then a Custom Rom in order to get rooted again and remove those local apps. Regards

Reyesteban,
So if i install this firmware, it will update kernel and baseband, right?
Later, when i install a custom rom the kernel and baseband will be keeped from the mexican firmware?
The installation for the Mexican Firmware should be done via Odin? or i could use CMW?

The Firmware, as it is an official one, replaces kernel, baseband and even the boot screen and you just can install it through Odin. And you are right, when installing the custom rom, kernel and baseband will keep the same. However, boot, rom apps and look&feel are going to change...

Yes, you can install nearly any of the firmwares from the sammobile site. If you're asking which firmware would be the best to flash to your device, it depends where you are located. The NI1 firmware is available for several different countries, so I would flash the firmware for your region, it should be optimized to best work on your networks.

When you flash the firmware through Odin it will completely wipe the device, it doesn't matter if you're rooted or not.
thank you
but what if the S4 is locked to orange carrier?
The firmware I have downloaded is carrier free...
is there any problem?
I am afraid of bricking the phone.... I understood the root will not be a problem, but I am afraid of the lock carrier.... the baseband is not the same as the one installed on the phone now

The latest bootloader and modem for android 7.0

Hello
Please help, I'm looking in the topic of the latest bootloader and modem for android 7.0 and so it can be installed via ODIN ..
I found something myself but it does not work and I do not know if it is the latest one, please help.
N920C
What variant do you have? I have the N920i. If I knew how to grab the latest bootloader/modem I'd totally do it for you.
I don't think the bootloader's changed since MM!?
Either way, download a rom from Samdroid. But be warned, to get root - you may need to unlock the bootloader in settings and flash twrp.
I need a file to install in ODIN

how to flash stock rom on galaxy s10 and s10e

download the stock firmware from sammobile for your variant
use odin 3.13 or higher to flash the ROM.
extract the firmware from sammobile
take the AP and CSC files from the stock firmware and put them in ODIN
put phone in download mode and press START to make it flash
phone will reboot and be stock (lock bootloader or flash custom up param to hide bootloader unlocked message)

Fail to Flash N960N with N960F firmware

Hi,
I'm having a problem flashing my N960N with a N960F.
So far, I've rooted my phone with twrp and installed magisk.
However, when I tried to flash my phone with stock firmware in Odin I would get a fail to re-repartition error.
Any help would be great.
Thank you

you should use a custom rom and flash it throught twrp and not odin, use odin to flash official firmware.
in this case go to the note 9 roms forum and search for a rom that supports your model in this case its usually in the tittle N, even thought i read that you can flash the F rom to N model but i didnt try it, maybe some one can confirm this or not.

Thanks for reply, I've been trying to flash my phone with official firmware using Odin from N960N to N960F BTU (United Kingdom). I don't want to use custom rom.
then you are trying for nothing and it will never work. worst comes to worst you might brick.

You shouldn't have any issues installing the N960F BTU OS onto your N960N as they are basically the same device and run on the same hardware specs. They even run on the same LTE bands...

LOST IMEI - No Signal

Hello guys,
I have Samsung Note 9 (SM-N960F) and updated to Pie.
I usually use custom ROMs.
Recently after flashing a new custom ROM, I lost IMEI and signal.
To fix the problem, I flashed stock ROM successfully but IMEI is empty (UNKNOWN). There is not network signal.
I have previous custom ROM TWRP Backups. I restored to the old TWRP backups. But still the IMEI is UNKNOWN and no signal.
I had efs backup of a custom ROM as efs.img. I tried to restore it using Partition Backup app and terminal but no success.
I flashed Alexander's ROM (DEV BASE) as indicated in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/lost-imei-please-help-t3847336
But still the IMEI and the signal problem is not resolved.
If you have any idea, please help me fix it.
Thanks.

what fine model you have?
anyways flash back full latest stock firmware for your device and ull get back imei.
use frija or samfirm tool to quickly download firmware.
when you flash dled firmware with odin, flash all .md5 files. also flash csc.md5 instead of home_csc.md5
if you fully flash latest October/November firmware as suggested it will work.
if you skip steps or don't use the latest files then it might not work.
once back on stock with signal, follow dr ketans guide for OEM root fix as per his pinned topic in the note 9 general discussion forums.
then flash back a recent custom rom.
suspected cause of your problems:
-modem mismatch with device model
-modem mismatch compaired to rom base
you should always flash/maintain BL and CP manually with Odin and never through rom zips. and always read rom OP regarding modem and bootlaoder.

Thank you for your info.
Currently I have slow internet connection. Anyways, I have started downloading the latest firmware using frija.
I will let you know after flashing the latest firmware when the download completes.
Thank you.
Exact same thing happened to flashing the same rom. Made my sim cards not detect. My phone has been down for a week. Finally have a day of work yesterday and fixed it by flashing stock bl, cp, and csc then flashing back to tgp rom.

Previously, I flashed October update. The flashing process completed successfully but the problem (IMEI & UNKNOWN) was not resolved. I posted the problem is not resolved here.
Then I downloaded another more recent update from another region and flashed and the problem is gone. My phone is full life.
Thank you bober10113. You helped me fix this problem.
Thank you m. murray too. I appreciate your help.
