All of the modem images are signed so they should flash over anything in theory. Here's what we have for official updates so far: These files (except MFD) are generated using my new Build_ODIN script. It takes the previous signed NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin files and patches them using code from the new OTA. So MH1 is patched from MFD, MH5 is patched from MH1, and so on.
I will update this thread as new OTA's come out.
Some people say to flash as PDA, others say to flash as Phone in ODIN.

Trying to flash MH5 via PDA fails, and gives a "Unsupport dev_type" message on the phone. Via the Phone it simply fails without any details.

Well that's depressing. So it seems you can't change the name of the files inside the tar file. Ok, I'll fix them. Thanks for letting me know. It'll be about 20 minutes and I'll have all new images and recovery thread updated.
Links updated. Sorry about that!
Is there a significant difference in the modems. I have yet to notice in my area, which is just HSPA.
I'm not really sure. I haven't had any issues with any of the modems but I'm practically on top of a tower. I just like having them on hand in case we need them or for those on roms who don't want to deal with the trouble of OTA's can simply flash them.
True this. From my early skyrocket days, some claim that certain modems worked better in different areas than others. But there are too many variables to really see. Bandwidth, peak time, weather, solar flares, el nino, big foot, position of voyager, and quantum fluxuations in microwaves at the research station in antartica.

Yeah, but the MH5 is 4 more than MH1!!!
Are these modems only for original i9505G devices or should one flash these if running a GE rom on a standard i9505?
Thanks
As the title and the section it's posted in suggest, these are only for the i9505g.

I flashed the MH5 package as Phone and then as PDA but in both cases my baseband still shows as MH1. I received no errors, and ODIN reported success.

If it were that simple I wouldn't have asked
As my phone now reports the model as being I9505G, I wondered if perhaps the GE specific modems were required.

Same here.
I am going to try the full restore - stock recovery, followed by the MH5 stock package, then re-rooting, and finally re-flashing CM 10.2 to see if this gets me to the MH5 baseband.

Not sure what's happening for you both but it does work. They're the official signed files that the OTA update creates.

I have a feeling that Odin is reporting success even though it actually fails for some reason. Hopefully the full stock rollback will sort this out.

That'd be depressing. But yea, the full ODIN restore image should work for sure. I know others have tested that and it worked.
Try other versions of Odin at least. And yes, the full restore is proven. Granted of an isolated incident here and there.

Here are the PDA and CSC versions: G900W8VLU1ANF3 G900W8OYA1ANF3

Anyone install it yet? Anyone notice any difference?
Got the new ROM update this morning thru OTA. I don't see anything new or special. Still at 4.4.2
Anybody able to extract the NF3 modem from it and make it into a flashable file? That'd be gravy...
Tried to find a change log to see if there were any important changes, but no luck.

Thanks :good: I hope it fixes the problem I have with the radio getting stuck on 3G after calls...
I extracted the modem.... tried to make a flashable CWM file for you guys but 7zip is giving me a hard time... then again, I think it's better if you just flash from Odin directly, I believe it's safer
What about a Rom?. I wish I was able to I would have us a Canadian rom.
Well, this is NOT a flashable modem, merely the modem all rar'ed up; just download it, extract it, and flash it via PHONE on Odin 3.09, and you should be golden. If it does not stick, remove the battery for 15 seconds, and get into Download mode via the usual button combinations, then flash away.

Extract the zip file I uploaded; you're going to be left with a modem.bin. Flash via Odin as usual, just don't do it via PDA; use PHONE option instead.
So far I've noticed that you have to agree to terms for ultra power saving mode now when you first turn it on, and normal power saving mode shows an icon at the top left now when on.

Okay, so I finally decided to ditch AT&T and go full Paranoid (This is not my first flashing attempt with Android devices). Got the latest version, etc. Load into BootStrap and wipe everything. Go to install PA and for some reason I had neglected to tell my build.prop (ro.product.device/name) is supposed to be "jactivelteatt"/"jactivelteuc" and not "SN-M9009". So when I started the flash process, immediate error and now I'm stuck with a phone with no OS or bootloader and can not, for the life of me, find a ROM to flash with .MD5 or .TAR that will work with ODIN. I did find "Oneclick_I537UCUAMF1" that gets all the way to the end and fails. Tried multiple times with multiple cables.
Please if anyone has any idea's, please help.

Oh god are you on the US version (SGH-I537)? If you're on the international version (I9295) ignore this post but otherwise, you need to read and take in my short rant. Trust me I wish this weren't the case, but it is, and it's important:
The Galaxy S4 Active i537 has a locked bootloader. There is no way around this, no ifs ands or buts. You simply cannot flash custom ROMs or recoveries. That's it, end of story as far as CM, CWM, AOSP and such things are concerned. That being said there is a sort of recovery called SafeStrap which you can use to make nandroid backups, flash mods and STOCK-BASED roms, but it's not a true custom recovery in the sense that we had been used to, because of this locked bootloader nightmare.
OK so I think you're gonna want to check out this thread. It's all about how to install any firmware from download mode, I think you're gonna have to go with NE3 or NH3.
Let me reiterate. NO CUSTOM ROMS. NO CWM. No Paranoid, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP, no crossing go before going directly to jail. Sorry for the stupid joke but seriously, you have got to keep your phone on stock-based roms (of which there are unfortunately few).

Hi to everyone who has been having problems with domestic unlock, after updating to OD2 lollipop.
I myself have been experiencing some problems with OD2 and domestic unlock, one of which is the "INVALID SIM CARD". I did not get any service after updating. I tried downgrading my modem to NG2 and i got service, but the wifi was not working. I tried every other modem available to the SPH-L720, and the still the wifi did not work. So i worked night, and day, trying to figure out how to make it work. Then i thought to myself, hmm... why not create my own modem?? and so i did. It is currently working on OD2 stock lollipop.
**NOTE** This is ODIN flash-able. there is a .7z file inside the zip file, it must first be decompressed.
!!USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
For anyone who is wondering how i did this: Here is a short video containing, the simplest way of creating the modem. it is in a zip file. it is .mp4 format. Do not upload it to youtube.

We all just need to know what exactly you did so we can be sure we don't end up with bricked devices. Flashing a bad or wrong modem could possibly turn a device into a paperweight. That's the point we are trying to make here.
Please keep in mind that if in fact this is all good, it could be a VERY popular mod!

I HAVE FLASHED IT ON MY DEVICE SEVERAL TIMES. NOT ONES WAS MY PHONE BRICKED. MY PHONE IS THE "SPH-L720 16GB", NOT THE TRI-BAND MODEL. I USED THE "MUNIZ_RI L720_OD2_Stock_Rooted_ROM".
***NOTE ***I DID "NOT" ATTEMPT THIS ON ANY CUSTOM ROM'S .
I AM ON ULTRA MOBILE, WHICH IS AN "MVNO" UNDER T-MOBILE.
HERE IS ANOTHER PEACE OF INFORMATION. IF THE MODEM/NON-HLOS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE, IT WILL NOT FLASH (VIA ODIN3 V3.09), IT WILL FAIL. AND NO YOUR PHONE WILL NOT GET BRICKED. IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH KNOX, OR JUST FIRMWARE I DO NOT KNOW.
DOES THAT HELP?
Ok, good info...... but how did you go about modifying the modem itself? A short version of what you did would be fine..... maybe a link or two to what resources you used? Modifying or "creating" a modem is not very common at all. If it were, there would be custom modems all over the place.

Alright...... because your video shows how to make a zip file, but doesn't show how to modify/create a modem.
Just to clarify, the modem you posted in the OP was modified by you personally? And it unlocks sim access on OD2? So anyone who flashes it on a sprint L720 (non tri-band) stock rooted rom will be able to use their phone on T-Mobile or another GSM carrier?

you would fist have to unlock your phone the regular way like over here before you have updated your rom/firmware/kernel. to OD2.
and then you will have to update the modem to the one i uploaded to remain unlocked after updating to OD2.
Probably should include all those type details in your OP.

if you read my op, you would then know that i stated, after i updated i got an "invalid sim error". That would suggest that i had previously been unlocked, and that after updated it was locked again.
I assume that anyone reading my post would understand that, because he or she had the same issue and knows how to unlock a Samsung SPH-L720 running MDC,MDL,MF9,NAE,NG2.
Alright....... but again, just to clarify, you modded the modem.bin file yourself?
That's the info I'm trying to get out of you....... what is it that you changed in that .bin file to get unlock to work on OD2?
I know that the NON-HLOS.bin file wasn't changed at all from the stock version.

If you observe his video, he is combining NG2 modem.bin with OD2 NON-HLOS.bin. Now, I don't know what function each of those bins do, but I am pretty sure that OD2 'modem.bin' is what you need in order to have OD2 baseband, right?

Oh now that's funny! I did not catch that because I didn't watch it all that close.
So...... NO..... he did not modify any modem.bin file...... he is just using a the NG2 radio and calling it OD2!

Yes, I did try. No, it doesn't retain domestic unlock. It says 'invalid SIM'. Fortunately, I could flash NG2 back and all is well.
Anybody get it yet? Supposedly went official yesterday. About 300MB.
I unlocked your mum's bootloader.
It just arrived, and it was about 300MB. IT rebooted into TWRP, which just sat there. I rebooted, and then Andorid complained that the update didn't work. Well, duh!
That said, now I would like to know what I should have done or should do in the future. Any thoughts?
Mine just arrived
What's new?
Just found a story about it here - it is indeed the July update:
http://www.tmonews.com/2016/08/t-mobile-galaxy-note-4-note-edge-july-security-update/
Links in that article will eventually point you to here, where the update can be downloaded manually and installed via Samsung Smart Switch.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-16486#update_download
Since I am rooted I am actually not sure what to do, and would appreciate some advice.
300 mb is a big update. If you are rooted you will need to flash the new firmware in Odin. But you may want to hold off. I am note sure it adds any new features and will probably make your device incompatible with any ROMs that are currently available.

I just got it but waiting to see if there are any bugs or negative effects. I'm not rooted so there's no way to go back.

Still looking and haven't found any clues for changelog, not even security update. Anybody?
I unlocked your mum's bootloader.
Yep...trying to figure out how to avoid the update too.
I'm stick rooted with XPosed, Beastmode kernel, and a few other mods.
I just did the update, and I can confirm that TWRP, root, and xposed all work.
I don't know about compatibility with custom roms though.

OK, so how did you install it?
To shut the System Update tool up, I had to freeze it in Titanium Backup.

You can flash it with odin. The file is the all in one home odin file The file is floading around somewhere....Might look in Overdrives OP That might be where i saw it...

Yeah, if you can't find the update. You can just install the latest firmware you can find with odin, then update from settings.
Hi Folks,
I have no idea what "update from settings" means. Also, no idea where to start looking for the update - heck, I don't even know what to Google to find it. Thoughts?

From your device click settings look for about device click then at the top you will see (download updates manually) If you are rooted or removed any system apps dont go that route, the update will fail.. You then would just need the update file to flash with odin.. Might look in overdrives op.
What is overdrives op?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-maximum-ovrdrive-6-0-1-mm-beta-4-13-t3358326 Here.. you will see the link it a all in one (home) odin file just flash in ap or pda slot depending on which odin you use..
I believe this is the AFH Linky for the new firmware also fwiw: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588212152306227
So just to be clear, Overdrive is a MM-based T-Mobile ROM, basically just debloated and with some minor tweaks.
As a convenience, he has linked to "N910T Stock Odin Full EPG2 Firmware File," which we can flash using TWRP onto an otherwise stock+rooted MM 6.0.1.
I got this right?

The PG2 file he has a link to is stock. That thread is for his pe3 custom though. I haven't made my rounds through note 4 thread yet. I maintain another android site and all the devices in my sig are active. I'm never on the same thread everyday....lol

I'm starting to see more links pop up now. Thanks I 'm not even going to try this one out i'm staying on pe3 for awhile...
Got this OTA after doing an ODIN of EPF1 to my phone. Baseband is updated to match, unsure about bootloader but I doubt it. If someone wants a ROM dump and is willing to tell me how....
I got this update pushed to me also.
Question for anyone who knows: If you flash this do you lose the ability to install custom low level software (firmware, recoveries, etc)?

I didn't. I haven't tried downgrading but I flashed recovery after it updated. The one thing I have noticed is that wanam xposed/firefds kit has some functions that don't work or change anything...
Ugh, just got my S6 back from repair and they installed this update. Is it possible to root?

It's possible, our S6 won't get locked on any 6.0 firmware's
Maybe on 7.0 if we get it. but not 6.0
And for clarification EPH2 was just security fixes.. everything else is still the same.

OK, thanks — how should I go about doing this? I've always used CF Auto Root, but it doesn't seem updated yet.
I guess until further notice using Smart Switch as a lazy way to recover from my own stupidity is out

This guide will help you with all of it, just change the "the rom" part to whatever 6.0 rom you decide you want to use instead.
I'm downloading the complete TAR image from Sammobile, but due to finances I don't have the means to pay for the full speed..
So I'm downloading at the slow method.. If someone else has not uploaded the image, I will upload it by late tonite..
I'm still having issues with the damn Upload it gives me last second errors when I step away to do another task..
I'm making my final attempt to upload it onto my Android File Host... It should be up by morning if it uploads correctly.. Just Look For Zaphodspeaks in Android File Host if I haven't posted it yet..
I have many tasks to do this week ends.. Mainly upkeep the the old house and updating some of the old wiring while its getting cooler..
Finally, I uploaded the Image.. I had to recompress it since it kept giving me errors at the very end, just unzip and install in ODIN

Got my phone rooted, custom rom, and kernel that I was using before, no problem.
Last night (9/27) I got a firmware update for my factory USA unlocked 920T. Sammobile shows it was released on 9/26. It was a 50MB file that updated the Android secruity patch date to Sept. 1. No other changes. I noticed the Samsung Smart Manager app/widget shows I'm using 5% less memory now. I don't know if it's better RAM management or Samsung modified the app/widget to show different figures LOL. I suspect the t-mobile 920T will get the update soon.
