Hey guys!
For all the owners out there who have the S4 Active running 4.4.2 NC9 with the MF1 modem.bin, don't worry anymore!
If you're rooted, you should be able to do this, and if not, have a computer with Linux or a Terminal emulator for Windows.
Follow this link and it should teach you how to extract files in a tar.md5 format to flash through ODIN. Someone can extract their NC9 modem.bin and upload it for the rest of everyone having problems.
If you're wondering why I didn't do it myself, ask my parents XD
As always, leave any comments below, and you're welcome!
OH and another things, this is really for the owners that don't have the NC9 modem.bin (and NON-HLOS.bin), that's really it. Other than that, you an use it for whatever. Credit does not go to me, I only found it on Google, credit goes to the poster on the forum the link has you following.

I'm having to return my Galaxy S for a replacement, however before i realised there was a hardware issue, i flashed it.
Since i'm in Australia, on Optus, there isn't a leaked DTJF3 image. So i can't just flash back to the original.
Is there a way using busybox, or an update.zip (I create and sign update.zips, Have done a little) to update the model numbers to at least look like i haven't been messing with it. Best to be safe rather than have them not honor the warranty because of a flashed update.
I ask in here as this is where the people with an intimate knowledge of the underlying code hang out.
Regards,

Australian Stock Rom (Dump) : ............
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER, PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS FILE.
http://rapidshare.com/files/406741229/dump.tar !!!!
not my work but taken from this forum, so mayb try a search before posting
So I guess the first silly question would be.....
how to separate out the CSC, Phone & PDA tar files from the Dump?
Or is there a way to use Odin to flash the dump.tar?
(just thought I'd ask the question before the OP does )
****************
Ok, so i was just looking at Odin, and there is a place where you can upload the dump.tar file. Is it really that simple - select the dump.tar downloaded from this thread, keep all other PDA/CSC/Modem spots empty, maybe select re-partition then flash??

Hey mate, caught in a similar situation here. The dump is not available now, do you mind uploading to another location? I know many other users waiting for this as well.
All the best with your flashing.
In the end until there is a leaked copy of the rom,we won't be able to flash it.we can customize with update.zip however we can't turn the dump into a rom.
The dump will contain the optus parts of the rom.but not the rom itself. I just figured someone may be able to help me fool the about screen into showing the wrong rom version.
At some point nandroid might get running, then we can do some interesting stuff until then, we just wait.
That's how I understand it

During inspection of your handset, the firmware check is done by the supplied tools to Optus, this will have no effect even if you change the About section on the Android OS, voiding your warranty further. I would rather advise you to wait for a month or so until 2.2 update comes up on Optus, then you can update the firmware via recovery.

the dump has a different format, it doesnt have a radio and csc file ( though you dont need it ) but you still need samsung.pit file i.e the bootloader file .. but be careful while doing that.
Ok good folks of xda, I've had my Note now for about a month. i previously had a Nexus S and a SGS2 but never had the nerve to root those phones. But seeing the capability those rooted SGN's out there have I'm trying to bite the proverbial bullet on this matter. I especially liked Rocket ROM and CM9 ICS MOD.
First off, I'm on a German-manufactured SGN running on KL7 Firmware. Second, I have a Macbook Pro. Ive read quite a few posts in regards to rooting KL7 but those were under "PC" conditions.
If anybody can please grace my question with their insurmountable knowledge on the matter, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hey, I am a mac user like you and I rooted my phone using a virtual machine (Windows 7) in parallels. Follow Dr.Ketan's post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360. It shows what file you need to download for your RAM.
Another option is to use Mobile Odin Pro. With this you don't need a computer. Just download the ROM which you want and choose the CODE tar file from Mobile Odin Pro. Select the ever root option (CWM and SU) if you want. You are set.
OK but dont you need root access in order to use mobile Odin root? Any other options will be greatly appreciated.

Actually he mentioned to follow Dr. Ketan's post, which is immensely helpful. But here is the concise version as many people hate to plough through the loads of information that they can't make sense of on XDA. But hopefully as you move along you do appreciate what's out there and not just hope to get answers by just labeling yourself as a noob. No offense intended as I understand everyone has to start off somewhere and it's great if someone would be kind enough to lend a helping hand.
So here you go:
You can get a version of ODIN that's supposedly able to run on a mac here. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6629819/Odin_[Samsung]_for_Mac
1) Download this file and flash normally with ODIN http://www.hotfile.com/dl/136656907/6ff47c0/N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_ATO.zip.html this is a KKA file which might be sort of a downgrade, you might say, but its necessary as Samsung has already patched the loophole that allows for the exploitation to obtain root access.
2) Unzip this file and you will get a folder with the same name.
3) With USB debugging enabled and Unknown Sources enabled, connect your phone to the computer normally (ie not download or recovery mode)
4) Open the folder and then execute the 'not-rooted-yet' file.
5) Follow the instructions above and you will have a rooted phone.
You will want to download Mobile Odin which is good stuff and can be found on the market, or you can google to get the apk for umm... free.
As to how to flash new firmware using Mobile Odin so as to retain your root... I leave it to you to figure that out as it's really easy and just takes some reading. Nonetheless, do PM me if you require further help.
Cheers!
Hi, I am completely lost on what to do, I have roamed the forums for quite some time, and actually managed to update my phone twice before.
I've just forgotten everything about it, and it's for some reason really hard to find anything that is actually dummy proof explained. If anyone could help me out I would be thankful.

Please help me, I am so lost, apparently I am supposed to use Odin and install or flash or whatever the **** a kernel, but I can't. Everwhere I look I find that I need a .tar file. Which doesn't exist in ANY of the things I have downloaded. I am going insane right now, I've had a useless phone for two days now. Please help me.

It would be easier to find the zImage of a kernel and installing it using heimdall(semaphore also contains the tar files). Search up semaphore kernel and download the respective version that is compatible with your android version choice. I know there are 's' versions but download the non 's' version for now. There are tar files there so you can flash with odin. but if you want to use heimdall, one of the zips(or tar files) contain the zImage file and extract it into the folder where you have extracted heimdall(well if you don't have heimdall, google it and download it.) If you don't know how to use heimdall, look at tutorials such as from cyanogenmod or on xda forums.
Hope this helps, gsstudios

I'm not sure if you're looking for the NE3 modem files or the more recent NH3. Either way I've provided links below for both, you'll have to extract the zip file and flash modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin with Odin. From what others have reported, it's recommended that you flash both files twice to get them to stick. Let me know if they work because I've had to manually extract them from the phone.
NH3 Modem
NE3 Modem
Thanks Devo7v! I was looking for the NH3 modem. Im away from a pc at the moment but will flash when I get home. Thanks a lot for your time and effort. Ill post back with results tonight.
It says fail (auth). Is odin the only way to install? Can I use root explorer and replace the files or push via adb?
I cannot seem to find a guide to updating to the new PE baseband & bootloader. The guides are so fragmented and basically say "Here are the downloads, look for guides about Odin elsewhere...."
Anyone got a link to a guide that tells all, from start to finish? Download this, download this version of Odin, extract these files from this file, put this file in this section of Odin, this file in that. Hit this button, wait until this happens...?
I know it's simple for some but for me, I've destroyed two phones with Odin and don't want to do another....
I'm pretty sure this is what you're looking for
