i recently bought a galaxy note in india. i want to flash a kitkat rom such as asylum omni. do i have to flash a modem for india seperately after flashing the rom? i once flashed a rom in my galaxy s 2 and it didnt get any network reception after that,even after flashing many modems. i am realy afraid that i might render my note useless if i flash a rom again.. please advise.. thanks
The AOSP/CM roms you want to flash doesnot come with a modem. So it utilizes the modem installed previously. If you are on the DDLSC rom then the modem you should have is DDLS6. After flashing Kitkat, it will remain DDLSC unless changed manually.
Just after rooting, first thing you should do is backup EFS.

Hi,
i have some signal problems with my I9000 (2.3.6),can i flash a modem using ODIN without a new ROM (i want to keep 2.3.6 and don't losing my apps and games),and i will not got any problems.
and please what is the good modem (if possible for north Africa)
thank you .
Yes u are able to flash only the modem, just select the modem file only and flash.
Not sure about the modem, but jjw2 has worked on my phone well with signal and battery wise.
thank you Wesku,
there will not be any problem with the ROM, apps and games after the flash.
and where i can find it ,and how can i know what my phone running know(modem).
The modem won't affect performance so apps and games should be fine.
Not sure where to find as I flash my modems from CWM recovery and I'm running CyanogenMod, that uses modems that are little bit different from stock ones.

Just search here on the forum for the modem you want.. or google for it
changing the modem will not affect your apps in anyway..
for checking the current modem, go to settings >> about phone >> baseband version
Recently i have come across a puzzling bug when i flashed deodexed UK firmware S5830IXXLK3 (by Alucard1989PL) and was wondering if anyone else had come accross this,
I flash my phone via ODIN 3.07 to stock XXLK3 UK firmware as normal , this gives me stock kernel & ROM.
I fire up ODIN and flash either Rafael or Hells kernel (it doesnt matter which), reboot, check phone status and i have IMEI.
I root my phone via CWM next just to make sure and check that debug is ticked, reboot.
I then flash the S5830IXXLK3 deodexed ROM via CWM, no problem. When the phone boots i check the phone status and each time i have lost my IMEI number.
On all previous deodexed ROMS i have used i have never come accross this, could it be the latest firmware thats been deodexed or am i overlooking a simple detail here?
Any comments would be appreciated.

I haven't problem with IMEI. The deodexed rom has already root so i don't know why you installed root before you install my deodexed xxlk3 rom -_-" LOL. Try reflash rom with odin than my deodexed rom and at last custom kernel . . .

Hey Alu, i tried all methods but result is the same i lose IMEI number, not to worry for now i will try another deodexed. BTW any eta on when you will release 15 toggle for XXLK3? this will motivate me to try again.
Txs for the reply.

Hi Viprdxd, I have also just experienced this problem after flashing the same XXLK3 UK firmware and then flashing a custom deodexed ROM that I am currently building. My custom ROM is currently based on XXLI1 firmware and I thought there may be some incompatibility problem. However obviously you have flashed Alucard's XXLK3 deodexed ROM so it can't be that. You say its not a kernel issue either so at the moment I currently have very little idea what is causing this. I need to find out though to make my custom ROM compatible with all firmwares so I will be investigating this issue.
I'm just glad I got my IMEI back by reflashing the XXLK3 firmware with ODIN cause I've already permanently lost it once before when I was a bit of a noob and didn't have a backup or anything!

Yeah I know that feeling all to well when you see your IMEI number missing I'll keep playing around to see if I can find out why but my feeling is its an issue ROM side with XXLK3., Hey good luck with your ROM I'll defo check it out when its done.

Nice one thanks :good:
Edit: Sorry Actually I still can't figure this out, if I flash XXLK3 with ODIN, IMEI number is fine. If I install Rafael's kernel, nothing else, it disappears.
If I extract the XXLK3 ROM and flash it in recovery no problems, if I deodex it no problems, if I install custom kernels then IMEI dissappears.
Which leads me to the conclusion its a problem with custom kernels except for the fact that if I flash the ROM I'm building on stock kernel IMEI also dissappears!! So for now it remains a mystery!

I have concluded that its not a problem with XXLK3 or The custom Kernels as both work, let me explain, XXLK3 standard and deodexed on stock (came with package) kernel works as it should. Raf's or Hell's Kernel works fine on every other firmware.
It seems to be a problem of compatibility of the two maybe Samsung changed some small detail or a tweek is needed in the kernels or both? I don't know as I am not a dev.
My thread on what I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052690

I know out there is a bunch of baseband to flash through Odin. What about make them flashable?. What for?, for example I flashed Enox and Benz roms that are not for my specific model (L) and my phone boot without a problem, but just get not network signal. So I was guessing that will work If I flash my baseband (lubama1) over the one that came with the rom. Will the rom work without a problem I think, cuz that is what I did in my Atrix 4g times.
Why flashable, just to do it on the way. If someone can help me making my stock baseband flashable I will appreciate it.
Thnx
I'm pretty sure those roms doesn't change your modem, but only system files.
Why it doesn't work is probably because the config is for i8190 and not i8190L modem.
Open the rom.zip and see if you find a modem.bin in there.. I think not.

even if you flash your baseband i think it will not work. wrong rom to your variant
any way, if you want, attach your baseband to make it flashable via odin.
hi all, i spent too much time switching trought kitkat cm roms, without finding a stable one for daily use, now i'm thinking to revert to jb, my question is simple, which way?
1-revert with odin?
2-flash a custom "basic" jb?
3-????
i heard there are "aligned and deoxed" jb stock roms, but i don't know what it means and how to get those, also, i need something that works with cocore, at least to speed up things a little bit.
thanks all

I think the best way is to flash stock with Odin, and then install JB ROM that you want (before that ofcourse install CoCore).
where i can retrieve stock roms to flash with odin?
(can i flash stock roms via cwm recovery? or via odin without wiping cmw)
thanks a lot

You can flash stock ROM with CWM, but you can't over 4.4. Because it has repartitioned preload partition to be used for swap. It will bootloop if you just flash stock ROM. You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612540
Or you can flash stock JB firmware that can be found on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. You must use I9070 firmware over I9070 phone or I9070P firmware over I9070P phone, otherwise you will hardbrick your device.
Hi there. Forgive me, but I'm new here.
Some time ago I flashed my i9000 with CyanogenMod, which means I obviously had to unlock the bootloader and install CWM recovery. The problem is I've forgotten alot,
Do roms have modems with them, or do I need to do that myself? Which i9000 modem is best for the UK? Reception is poor under CyanogenMod. I was planning to flash an unofficial build of Omnirom 5.5.1 for the i9000, does this include the latest modem files?
I've tried looking for TWRP but I'm unable to find it, I was planning to replace CWM.
What about the bootloader, is this included in Omnirom or do I need to find that too?
I apologize.
Only some roms comes with modem files. Omni has modem files in the zip. So u can flash
Its better flash any kitkat first
Eg: slimkat
Then flash omni. Because directly flashing the lollipop may not work or you will lose baseband
Ok good luck
