[Q] extracting and flashing modem

Hey guys
I wish to flash "I9070ILOLF2" modem to my device, so I downloaded the rom & extracted the files from the tar.md5 file.
now I have the modem file that I wish to flash (which doesn't have an md5 verification) but not the amss.mbn file.
I tried using any kind of md5 summer \ cygwin (in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658809 ) - in both cases, It seemed to be valid, but when I flashed it - it failed.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Dvir.

I did, and I have the modem files (but not the amss.mbn file).
now what I should do? Check MD5 and flash it? because it doesn't flash :\

I guess u shud use heimdall if u r using ODIN
it allows you to flash modem, recovery etc separately

ok,
so I used odin 1.85 and odin 3.07.
I've selected the .PIT file and the modem (that I extracted & calculated the MD5), and it just don't work.
odin 1.85 fails,
odin 3.07 succeeded,
(I can't install heimdall's driver - my os don't allow me, so it's out of the question :\ ).
the modem version stays the same - my phone gets bricked for a couple of minutes and then comes back :silly:
edited: also, the binary counter doesn't change, so it safe to assume the modem file is problematic.

Binary counter changes on custom stuff, not on stock.

silly me, you're right
flashed this stock rom and it's working well.
my question is how can i flash back jetmod and keep the modem?
thanks for all of your help shut_down!

Not really. Binary increases only when you flash a kernel through Odin. Doesn't matter if it's stock or custom kernel!
I do not respond to tech support via PM

Ok, so I reached to a solution:
Backed up my whole rom with twrp, flashed the stock and the twrp kernel, and restored.
Luckily, jetmod doesn't install a modem

I flashed my stock, when rooting with Qzem method. It increase only with his, and stock didn't increase it. As I remember you have to flash 2 times in his method, and my binary counter was 1 after that.

Android kitchen.
Backup with CWM, take system.ext4.tar.a, remove that "a" in the end. And use it in Kitchen.
Just take flashable ZIP from any of our JB ROMs, because updater-script is different on other phones.

In the the .tar.md5, I only see system.img.md5 and some other .img.md5 files

By using Android kitchen and system.ext4.tar with it. It will unpack it for you. You need to use guide of it, read it carefully. You do not need boot, it is kernel (if not put in ROM, previous one will remain in phone).
And do not be a noob, ne newbie. Read, read, search, read...

Will this method work... Because in the kitchen thread, S advance is not in the supported devices list... But I'd reckon it's very similar to the Galaxy Ace 2...

It will work to get files you need. And after that just use our updater-script (and whole META-inf folder).
P.S. Before you try to make some ROM, please read all threads about that. You can't just swing with stick, and become an dev.

That is a VERY good question. I'll be pulling the OTA zip once it starts pushing. Then I'll see about extracting the partitions and making us an ODIN tar md5 for it. I like being in the game on an open device! In any case, yea, I don't suspect it's a big update...I think it's the same security update everyone else got with no user facing changes.

I've got the update but I can't for the life of me figure out how to flash stock recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much,
Taney

You could always just flash my Odin 4.3 firmware package. If you don't wanna go that far I created and posted a stock recovery for you and anyone else here in the development section.
Side note: MH5 looks like a small update? Correct me if I'm wrong it looks like its under 17mb???

So is this a baseband update? or actual OS update. I ask since I am running a custom rom on the phone anyways. If it is a baseband update then I will go through the hassle of restoring the stock and getting it.

And yes, this has kernel updates, baseband, and who knows what else. I heard this is just a small security update.

So I can just ODIN this as OTA update PDA with reboot checked?
Never mind. Just noticed that it is a zip file.

Hey SamuraiHL so we keep everything consolidated post your Odin package in the OP with link and post root instructions. Also change the thread title from incoming to MH5 [ODIN] Security Update or something like that. Thanks again. I created and posted the stock recovery already last night looks like we overlapped.

Know your model number and download the package with that model in it the pits are a zip in a rar file !!
I have warned (i didnt !) you these have not been tested and i will never ever ever test those use them with your own responsiblity about what you are doing so ...

Theoretically, yes because pit files only deal with mapping the storage of the device including all the partitions. And there is no difference between P3110 and P3113 except the IR Blaster.

You're welcome.

This pit file changed everything. I used mobile odin lite and the official p5113 4.2.2. rom to return to stock but got all kinds of problems with initial setup taking forever and leaving black screens. Then when it did settle down, it would hang like crazy. I tried disabling a bunch of samsung apps and push services and it seemed to help but google play wouldn't install apps. It would finish the download and say installing forever. I started wondering if a previous flash had changed up some partitions so I started searching for a pit file and found this post. Flashed the pit and the 4.2.2. and whaddya know! It seems to also help to enter your google login in at initial setup. I haven't tried it without that step yet as of yet so I can't say for certain but I'm pretty confident it was the partioning that was the main problem. PEACE!

Hi,
i think i broke my tab2. I get the error with odin <ID:0/003> There is no PIT partition. I tried to remake the pit partion with the GTab2 P511x 16G.pit. But i got there a error too (<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.) Can anybody help me?
The main Problem is, i cannot boot in the normale mode. Only in the Recovery + Downloade Mode.

Restoring your Tab is likely work if you flash an entire stock firmware with Odin under PDA together with PIT file (for your type number!) under PIT. Re-partition should be enabled. If it works, after you've rebooted the OS once successfully, flash the last custom recovery you've used (again with Odin under PDA but never again with enabled re-partition) and restore your last nandroid backup.

I have repaird my tab2 . I must flash with the old clockword mananger to cm10.3. And than i could reboot. After that i could update the twrp and now i use the slim kat rom.
Thank you for the good forum xda!

I believe yes, there is
How?
Disable your OEM lock (developer option) By-default it should be off but making sure, it will not allow you to flash custom binary
Now download un-released firware from available source
Flash using Odin
If firmware is not by samsung, it won't allow you to flash. and so it shouldn't trip knox as well, as no firmware is flashed.
If successfully flashed then you will able to flash/receve update too if available.
One more thing, NEVER make stupidity to remove md5 extension from file as it will force flash file even it is corrupted and that can even brick device depending upon which component file is corrupted
I have just flashed CRLT (I have different source from OP but yes, not available officially) and also updated to latest CSA2
PS : my OEM I keep always enable as never care for knox but when I have received and applied OTA, this itself suggest my Odin flashed file was genuine.
Hope this will clear all doubt

Why?
Can you explain this logically? You know this stupid action can brick the device?

1.I said about your advise to delete MD5. Do you know how removing md5 is vulnerable to brick device?
2.FYI Odin doesn't have matter of file name (*.tar.md5) you are flshing, it does matter name of images.(like system.img,boot.img etc) so even changing name help you nothing.
3.MD5 can not be changed by changing name of file but afftects by contents.
And I have seen your images and only stupid person can change name like this (who have packed tar_xyz.md5) My source have no such renaming. This is not renaming of file but renaming of extension.
Even in this case advise to remane "Anything.tar".md5 is perfect rather than deleting md5

I can confirm that it works. Thanks for firmware!
Now running Pie on my Note 9! Finally

I just downloaded attached file from drive and removed UserUpload.net so I ended up with tar.md5. Because Odin wasn't accepting it with. That's it*
