Stuck on Devbase - Help needed - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi, I had a problem where I flashed a custom ROM and lost my IMEI / baseband - none of the SIMs worked.
I fixed it by flashing the Devbase ROM from this forum. The only issue is, whenever I flash any other ROM, I lose my IMEI / Baseband, including the stock from SamMobile.
As the battery is so awful on One UI V1 I'd love to be able to go back to stock so I can get the pending One UI update.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jamie

because uve not updated your baseband(modem) and or bootloader are too old or too new compared to the rom you are on. but usualy its too old.
often people flash roms left and right and never ever think about updating BL and CP. they eventually will need to get those updated as well, not just the rom. its the users responsibility to manually flash the aforementioned files with Odin.
so all in all flash november 2019 firmware.( bl.md5 and cp.md5) you wint loose data by flashing those. nor do you need to reroot/twrp.

Any ideas?

Hi, I am on Devbase 6.0 (Pie) & I flashed 14.11.19 UK BTU firmware N960FOXM4CSJ1 BL & CL with Odin.
I reflashed Devbase again from TWRP and the phone is working again, but unable to get on any other ROM.
Thanks

when you flash roms, have you made a habit to wipe before?
try to go to wipe menu and do factory wipe then flash a rom.

OMG! It seems we're gonna have many problems with this firmware version. Yesterday, after flashing the new 4.4.4 via Odin, I wanted to reinstall it for twice, and PC Odin brings me FAILED in step SetupConnection. Then, I tried to do a Downgrade to 4.3, getting the same error. I don't know what's happening but I don't wanna be stuck in this firmware forever!
Please, can anyone lend a hand?
most probably we won't be able to downgrade as it was 4.3->4.1, so we can't 4.4->4.3 due to some bootloader changes
I think you'd have to wait until 4.4.4 for non-N model is released as odin package

of course I don't know how risky it could be with new bootloader, but keeping in mind that people downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1 using mobile odin (no bootloader change) it could be worth trying

wanam xposed can fake the system status, but I don't know if it'd work in this particular case
anyway, full odin package for 4.4 non-N appeared, so no need to tamper at 4.3 DBT just to be able to update anymore http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/34084/Galaxy_S_3_LTE/GT-I9305/DBT/I9305XXUFNI3.html

Bootloader/Modem?

Hi guys. It's been a while since I rooted this phone because my work wouldnt allow it. Anyway I finally got it rooted (v 6.0.1) and TWRP going. I was thiking about flashing the CMRemix rom and they mention "You MUST be on the Latest Bootloader and Modem for your Carrier - D0K2 for Tmo SM-N910T". Where do I even find out if im using that? My current baseband is N910TUVSEPG2 if that helps.

Choose BL tab in odin to flash bootloader
Choise CP tab in odin to flash modem
Must Flash both files otherwise simcard and wifi will not work in cm13.
On cm13 first boot if sim does not work just restart device and it will work fine

You cant flash a firmware with a lower bootloader number. The fifth digit from the right is the bl version. You are trying to flash a firmware with bl version 3 over you're current version 4 so just flash a firmware with version 4 and you should be good.

How to update unlocked and rooted stock rom?

Hello there.
My G5s+ is suggesting a security update. But since I did unlock the bootloader and rooted it with magisk I did not install it.
My question is: What is the best way to update the phone?
Just flash the new stock rom? And where do I get those?
Thanks in advance.
Nobody here that can tell me how to upgrade?
Should I just flash the new version if I get it somewhere?

Unlocked bootloader will not affect the OTA installation..!
The reason the OTA-Update fails is that one of the boot, system, logo or recovery partitions are changed.
Magisk modifies the boot image.
On rooted device..OTA may brick the device..so avoid OTA installation..!
Reply your current build Number from about phone..
Do a clean flash.

Flash 26-11 full firmware
Where can I find full firmware versions of the stock rom to flash?
My build version is: NPSS26.116-26-4
As I understand it, there are two new security patches since that version? If I'm flashing one of the newer versions, is it just a case of dirty flashing it normally through twrp? No need to factory reset?

If that is the firmware build you need, you could try the firmware here: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5s Plus/Stock/ but ensure you download the correct firmware. (credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/xt1804-able-to-lock-bootloader-npss26-t3722572) Also, verify it is the firmware you require and was the latest firmware build on your device - please don't downgrade with stock firmware (else you may hard brick with OTA updates corrupting your bootloader)...
Stock OTA updates, as mentioned above, require fully stock firmware - they will not flash with root, modifications or TWRP (and attempting to flash via TWRP may soft bootloop your device). Thus, you must re-flash the stock firmware - you may be able to save your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command and you do not have to re-lock your bootloader. However, I'm not familiar with the G5S Plus and I hope another user can provide you with flashing commands.
I would still recommend you make a backup of your device in TWRP and keep that safe, in case you have to wipe your data for stability.

All Sensor's stopped after install TWRP

Guys, i just dont know what to do.
Everything was ok, but after flash a new rom my sensor files got corrupted.

That's never happened to me before. Did you flash an incorrect model bootloader?
What model Note 8 do you have & exactly what files did you flash? I'm confused by your post, did you get it working or did you still need help to get it working?
And you should change the thread title. TWRP has nothing to do with your sensors not working.

What bootloader were you on before? Were you on Nougat or Oreo before flashing Weta? What version Weta rom did you flash & did you flash Weta bootloader & modem update?
I've been using Weta rom for a long time & never had this issue so I still think it's a bootloader issue or a coincidence that your phone's hardware failed.

Since you won't say what Weta version you flashed & you didn't flash Weta bootloader update, I'm assuming you flashed Oreo version of Weta as Weta rom itself doesn't include bootloader & modem.
Since you won't give more details on what you flashed exactly I don't have a clue on what you should do or if it is a bootloader issue. Maybe kernel related I don't know.
So at this point all I can suggest is that if you are on BRA8 now, flash entire BRA8 or BRB2 firmware in Odin, BL, CP, AP, & CSC. Or at the least flash BL & CP.

Not if you flash only BL & CP. But those won't flash kernel. If you still have the issue, trying flashing a custom kernel if you don't want to loose TWRP & reinstall.
First off, I feel there would be many more reports of this with either TWRP or Weta Mod if the issue lay there with either of them.
I have used both in the past and have always worked fine for me.
Did you follow the flashing instructions letter by letter?
Have you got the latest TWRP that works with Oreo?
Which I believe you need to flash the older version before flashing the newer TWRP via TWRP with the iso.image?
I would just flash the full stock image via Odin like others have suggested. If the phone then works fine, as it should after this, try again but just take your time doing it.
