Yes, just don't flash the modem or you will be screwed. For instance open the .zip file of the rom and make sure there is no modem.bin in the file and you are good to go.

thank you very much
I have tmob note 2 and use all kinds of roms plus tmob radio, works fine on wind. Having said that I think proper radio is the key, i.e. I would not use tmob rom and other than tmob radio. Same for wind; putting non-wind radio can screw up your wind phone. Dont know how deep this rabbit hole goes though. ..

Anybody who had luck with MG1 modem?
I tried to flash the MG1 modem from the tread using mobile odin (untar the MG1.tar, flash modem.bin using modem2 option). When I rebooted the baseband under settings/about was unknown and I couldn't get any reception. What am I doing wrong?
Im kinda confused, sorry but as far as I know there no updates for t mobiles modem/radio the only one I know from tmobile id currently is M919UVUAMDL? Many said if you flash others carrier modem/radio your phone gonna be bricked.
Please tell me that I can flash all these radio/modems it would make mr love my tmobile S4 even more. :thumbup:

Try re flashing your kernel of choice... If that doesn't work you'll have to stay on the modem specific to your carrier 1337m don't have any issues flashing international modems so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I tried to re-flash using ODIN 3.07, and I get an error saying that the C++ runtime crashed. I wonder whether the file is corrupt (I have re-downloaded MG1.tar, still same problem).... Very odd..
Somewhat, mobile odin broke my CWM recovery as well during this process. When I try to reboot into recovery to flash the kernel, the phone simply reboot after showing th small blue rebooting recovery text. So, I had to reflash the recovery through desktop odin again... Anyhow, long story short, I have reflashed google play edition 4.2.2 kernel that I was using, and still cannot get any reception (modem section still unknown) with the MG1 modem file...

I did follow the Mobile Odin instructions.
Anyhow, now even after flashing the original standalone MDL modem through desktop odin, I have no baseband.... Kind of sucks I will try to go back to fully stock with the original ODIN package and retry later on. Hope this will fix my modem...

Ok, back to square 1. Fixed the unknown baseband and I am at the original MDL.
Now, I decided to go the DESKTOP ODIN route. Extracted modem.bin, fired up ODIN 3.07, clicked phone, selected modem.bin, unchecked auto reboot, hit start and got fail!. The phone screen shows "secure check fail : mdm". Is this MG1 modem maybe not compatible with M919?
I don't this is a good idea. Flashing other carrier's modem??

as I recall s3 and s4 are sensitive to the kind of usb cable your using as I hax problems before. I would check that your using original.
I am going to switch my service from att to t mobile. Can I odin, a t mobile stock Rom on the att phone? I want to have wifi calling on it. I believe all the hardware is the same and it should work. I just want to make sure. Thanks in advance.

I did the opposite. I put a T-Mobile note 2 onto the AT&T network. I asked if I could put an AT&T rom in the T-Mobile phone and I was told it "could" cause compatibility issues. I went ahead and put the matching T-Mobile software in the phone.
Of course you should see what the more experienced folks have to say. I have been curious myself. I've been thinking about trying an AT&T rom in the phone. They did say the hardware is pretty much the same, but that it could cause issues with the factory installed software that remains even after a rom install.
Hopefully we hear from someone soon.

Did you flash via recovery? Or Odin?

I know this is an old thread, but how do you do this? I've got an AT&T phone that I would like to load the stock T-Mobile build on. I've got a .md5 file for ODIN. Is it as simple as untar-ing the file, deleting the modem image, then retar-ing it and generating the .md5 file?
An additional complication is that I've enabled all of the radios using a Qualcomm utility.

I need to look and see if I can remember the files to remove. I know I did a trial and error thing and I can't seem to find my saved stock ROM. I'll keep looking for it though.
I assume it was the modem file, but I don't know for sure. The bigger question I have is how to re-create the ODIN file. I untar-ed a stock T-Mobile image from this thread. I deleted the modem.bin file, and tried to retar it according to the instructions here. I tried flashing it, but it's been "flashing" the boot image for over an hour. I'm about to reboot it, and try something else. Maybe tar-ing up each individual image, and flashing them one at a time? I don't understand why ODIN won't let me flash a .img or .bin file, but it'll allow a .tar that contains a .img or .bin? I'm hoping I haven't bricked it!

What happened with the process? I can't seem to find my old file(s) that I flashed, must have deleted it since I haven't had that phone in quite some time.
What I did was, I started to delete files within the ROM like modem, tz, hidden etc. until it fully booted.
Sorry I couldn't be more useful about this. I should have put it in my response thread on how I did flashing process.
Hello xda community,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307355
I flashed Truelyclean (link above), a script that removes samsung bloatware but after, my phone would not connect to my carrier's 4G network anymore. I flashed the correct stock 4.4.2 firmware for Wind Mobile from Sammobile, did a factory reset, made sure network mode was set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM but it still would not connect to 4G. It only connects to 3G and HSPA+ which is less reliable on Wind's network.
Does anybody have a fix for this?

Thanks for leading me in the right direction. I flashed some M919 and other modems and it failed, so I checked if there was any modem files in the official firmware and they were there. I thought pressing phone would only flash the modem but it ended up re-flashing the whole thing but it works now. Thank you.

Well you're problem was solved, even if it was by accident. To flash a modem you need the actual modem file or you have to extract it from the firmware. The main thing is that your up and running.
You need to do back ups before you try flashing stuff, especially old unsupported mods, so you can flash back to a running state.

I have a rooted S4 running GPE 5.0.1. Since updating about 2 weeks ago it seems my signal strength isn't as strong as it was with my old ROM (CarbonRom 4.4.4) and I'm experiencing complete signal dropouts from time to time.
This got me thinking about my modem. Does it need to be updated? WiFi is working fine. My last official OTA was from T-Mobile about a year ago when they took the phone to 4.2.2. My baseband is M919UVUAMDL and poking around various XDA sees forum threads discussing "NK2" and "NK4" modems. Tmo's website lists M919UVUFNK2 as the latest baseband so my modem is out of date? I looked for a Tmo version of the just "NK2" modem and didn't find anything that wasn't a full ROM install. Just want to update my modem and keep Lollipop 5.0.X Is there a modem update I should flash?
Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.

At the moment I have not seen a flashable zip for nk2, Im on official cm12 android 5.0.2 and just updated my modem, here is what I did, I download the full firmware , extracted it with winrar, and used Odin 3.0.7 to flash the modem.bin and non-hlos.bin
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
Correct me if something has changed; but doesn't flashing an up to date non-hlos still randomly cause complete signal drop on devices that are not running the updated bootloader that came with 4.4?
Or rather; at least until securestorage is disabled in build.prop
Also, you will most likely have to flash them 2x with odin.
First time uncheck the auto restart box, and manually power cycle back into download mode.
Second time leave the auto restart checked.

So perhaps it would be better to odin the lastest official t-mobile ROM back onto the phone to update all the internals and the bootloader etc, then root again and re-install my preferred custom ROM of choice?

Why does it matter which version of Odin we have to use? Specifically, why Odin 3.07?
Additionally, if modem.bin refers to the modem for the Samsung Galaxy S4 then what does non-hlos.bin refer to?

Well, I say use v3.0.7 because that is the version that worked for me, your results may vary, also some say that the non-hlos.bin refers to a separate modem for lte only, others say it refers to the WiFi driver, now, you don't have to flash it of you feel it has no benefit to you, I only did because this phone is the first one I've used that has the non-hlos.bin,, so I flashed it.

Since it is possible to flash the modem (via modem.bin) as well as flashing the lte modem/or WiFi driver (via non-hlos.bin) - then is it also possible to flash the bootloader itself on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) if it is running Android 4.4.4 (M919UVUFNK2)? If so, how would someone accomplish doing this?

Let me ask this: if it's possible to make a flashable zip to flash the bootloader to a higher version (like the bootloader from Android 4.4.4-M919UVUFNK2) then is it also possible to make a flashable zip to flash the bootloader to a lower version (like the bootloader from Android 4.2.2.-M919UVUAMDL)?
I believe I'm in the same boat. I tried out AICP ROM 5.0.2 and my signal dropped out most of the entire time and I could rarely send or receive calls/texts when it showed that I had signal. I now have restored my backup of AICP 4.4.4 and so far it seems to be working correctly. But a flashable zip would be highly appreciated if someone could do it. I would try myself but internet is extremely slow and I'm afraid I would make a mistake and brick phones other than mine.
