I think that this has always been a problem on Samsung devices, you can't dump the whole modem from the phone. You may want to just download the tar that has the modem in it that you want, extract the modem.bin, and flash it that way.

Is it important to flash the stock rom of my own country or can i install the stock rom of any country and how do i know if the stock rom can be installed do the csc, modem versions etc of my mobile matter?? and should this match the stock rom i am going to flash
thanks
plz can someone answer my question??
You can flash the stock package of yours/any other country but flashing other packages might result in wifi/network issues,some deductions via international smses..It is recommended to use your regional stock firmware to ensure stability..Any stock rom can be flashed over any other stock rom..csc,modem and pda doesnt matter..it will get replaced by the flashed stock package

Hi,
I own a galaxy note 2 lte version. I have a situation where i have to open, delete modem.bin and repack the stock tar.md5 file.
So here is the situation,
I recently flashed a MF2 stock rom from a different region (Portugal) onto my phone. If you guys are aware, the MF2 modem changes the efs partition and hence if I have to go back to an old stock rom the imei will not be recognized. So I have to re flash the mf2 modem to get the imei working else with old modem imei will not be correct.
What I plan to do,
Flash an old stock firmware without modem so that the current modem is retained and I have a valid imei.
I would like to ask you guys if you think it would work and in that case can I, using 7zip, extract the tar.md5 file and delete the modem.bin file and repack it to tar.md5 again to be flashed via odin PDA?
Thanks in advance for the heads up.

I don;t quite understand why would you delete modem, don't you need to flash previous modem version? Isn't it then easier to just flash old modem?

I plan to delete the modem from TAR just because in that case the old modem would be retained.
If you are not much familiar with linux, it will be more difficult for you to unpack, repack and adding tar + md5
Here solution which can be followed by newbie too
-Flash old ROM, (you will lose baseband and IMEI, don't worry)
-Extract new ROM (e.g. mf2) and find modem.bin
-Flash modem.bin with PC odin for 'phone' tab (unstead of PDA we are using for flashing ROM)
-Now you will have baseban and IMEI back
Done.

Thanks a lot for your timely help and concern.
I downloaded the Singapore Starhub MC1 firmware from the sammobile website and flashed it using Odin.
Luckily after flashing and setting up the phone -> the Modem was able to read mt EFS and my IMEI is intact.
Everything is okay. Happy :victory:
Finally, one more question,
If the MF2 Kernel makes changes in the EFS partition, in my case now -> how do you guys think the old MB3's modem was able to read the EFS partition and IMEI without any EFS backup / modem change.

ap: N7105xxdmb3
cp: N7105dxdll1
csc: N7105olbdmc1
May be this scenario limited to N7100
Or mf2 you have flashed still doesn't have kernel that causing efs modification.

Yes, I too hope the same.
Hello!
Lately, I have been seeing a lot of talk about modems (mainly in the CarbonRom thread). I never heard of updating them, altough I have experience with rooting/flashing new ROMs/installing custom recoveries on multiple devices.
I saw someone claiming that newer modems are usually better, they would give you better reception and call quality, as well as improving battery life.
So I was thinking if it would be any good if I would flash a new modem on my phone, the current version is I9195XUBMJ7.
Should I keep my current modem? Should I flash Modem-I9195XXUCNE6.tar or Modem-I9195XXUCNF7.tar? And if I do, would I notice any improvement?
I live in Belgium, if that makes any difference. I'm on a recent build of CarbonRom by F4K and my device is the LTE variant (I9195).
Can anyone enlighten me?

Try to find a newer modem that is used in official firmware in your country
Or if not in your country at least close, that will give u better results

Where can I find newer/the newest Modem? And can I flash it with Odin and use it with Liquid Smooth for example?

Look on sammobile.com then extract modem only, arhive it as tar then md5, and flash with Odin 3.10 as "CP"

The thread gives another way of flashing the modem, are both correct? Is there a way to make a backup of the modem in case all goes wrong?

U can flash with any version of Odin
Odin 3.10 worked great for me.
No u can`t backup your modem, if anything goes wrong apply my method above and download a stock rom and take NON-HLOS.bin
Linux:
Code:
unzip *.zip
tar -xvf *.tar.md5
tar -v -H ustar -c NON-HLOS.bin > modem.tar
md5sum -t modem.tar >> modem.tar
mv modem.tar modem.tar.md5
Windows
TAR_MD5_PACKAGER
Extract rom with WinRar/7-Zip place ONLY NON-HLOS.bin inside that program, arhive it as tar and then md5 it. Flash it with Odin
Thanks for your answers! Really appreciate it!
I'm using note 2 stock rom version 4.1.2 baseband DXDLK7 but I flashed DXDLK5 to fix problem about SOS Call only , the problem is when I flash stock rom 4.3 or 4.4.2 I got SOS only problem again and I stuck in 4.1.2 forever . I flashed modem MJ9 but still not work , and all modem download link in this forum died since hotfile server down . All new custom rom such as lolipop and marshmallow require baseband modem XXUFND3 but i can't go to that modem because SOS Call problem . So how can I fix this problem ? Thanks
Make EFS backup and then:
Download firmware from sammobile for your device i.e. N7100.
Install 7zip to extract it and copy SBOOT. and modem, then use 7zip again and pack (*.tar) those files separately, so you will have sboot.tar and modem.tar
sboot is the bootloader and modem is...modem.
Use Odin to flash modem and bootloader in download mode, then use also Odin to flash TWRP.
Then go to recovery mode and install your ROM using instructions in ROM thread (1st post).
You have to know that stock ROMs are identified by letters and numbers, the newest is probably OE1, I used bootloader and modem from French ROM.

Hello, I was wondering if exist somewhere a collection of images to flash modem partition. Searching through the forum or sammobile I've found only full stock rom...
Edit: in my case I'm interested in (P605) LTE version...
Not sure if there is a collection of ready to flash images, but you could always extract the modem.bin from the full stock firmware, create an Odin .tar, and flash.
