Getting modem.bin and flashing?

Everytime I flash any 3rd party rom, apart from my providers rom, I can not get any SIM card function. No signal. No IMEI with calling code. #*1234# or whatever gives me PHONE: Unknown and in my settings, baseband unknown. I was reading round the place and Im now wanting to know how i can get my original modem file and get it into a flashable state. Hopefully that will fix the issue. I have the I8160L model.
Thanks!

Maybe try flash fresh ROM.
All available versions are here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I8160L

try to flash working PHONE part (for example official one) with custom PDA and CSC.

That's because the flashed modem is not for your phone, f.e. you can't flash i8160P/L modem on i8160.
Flash the custom rom and create a tar from phone part (modem.img.md5) extracted from roms built for your model (i8160L) and flash just the phone.tar with odin.
Or write modem.bin.md5 (not the tar!) directly to modem/phone partition using terminal/adb (requires rooted phone):
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/external_sd/modem.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcbk0p13
reboot

What ROMs are you flashing?

Try replacing the "tee" folder of the ROM with a one that actually works!!

Tee folder
Can anybody provide a copy of a tee folder that works, from an I8160? I am in UK

Thanks, had already flashed UK BTU ROM I8160XXMK2 from sammobile via Odin. Flashes fine, but fails to register on network. Searches for and can see mobile networks, shows a couple of bars of signal strength, but will not register. Sim works fine in other devices. Reading elsewhere leads me to suspect modem.

Thanks, Odin 3.09 gives error "<OSM> modem I8160XXMK2.tar.md5 is invalid". I tried re-downloading it but same error. I opened the file in Odin 3.04 using PDA button and did not see the error - however I don't think 3.04 does the checksum test prior to flashing. I'm tempted to just try it in 3.04. Could the modem file have an error? Sorry for delay, have had no internet access over the holiday period.

Use 7ZIP and extract the file

I used 7Zip and extracted the file, then the odin gave another error (invalid md5), then I deleted the ".md5" part and odin accepted and flashed. But i my case the baseband shows as "unknown".
I just wanted to try this because, my Galaxy GT-I8160 mobile network not accessible after flashing cyanogenMod 10.2 and even CM 11. Can anyone tell what's the issue?
Edited: after doing this task, I rebooted the smartphone, then my problem solved.

Maybe is something wrong with my IMEI beacouse before , i had TWRP with Android Revolution HD and i got Emergency Calls Only but i coudnt fix it,no matter what. My IMEI seems good,i mean i have normal numbers but since i remember it is ending in four zeros.

Your imei is written down of battery, but for checking it your phone must boot.
You tried to flash original firmware via odin?

Ok so the only option to get it back working was to install TWRP back and flash Android Revolution HD so i can check the imei in the system,and it shows like this:
004999010640000/01
On the back of the phone and on the original box is another IMEI as follows:
355xxxxxxx4671/1
So clearly my IMEI has been changed/damaged somewhere on the way. Don`t know when,and i don`t have an EFS Backup.
Thing is like follows: If i install TWRP (twrp-2.5.0.1-n7100) and then flash Android Revolution HD the phone works fine,the only problem that i have is the stupid Emergency Calls Only that i can`t fix beacouse everything that i patch or every fix that i try doing it,the phone restarts itself and goes into Samsung Bootloop.
If i flash CWM Philz (philz_touch_6.46.3-n7100) and try to flash Phoenix Rom it doesnt even get pass the blue Samsung Circle,same stupid bootloop.
So my problem is in fact the IMEI ? What do you think ? This is why all of my ROMS bootloops ? And this is why i always get Emergency Calls Only ?
Please help me out Vagsvag beacouse i am loosing my hope here.... This is my only phone and i`ve been trying to fix it since 2 weeks now...

When you say you tried to flash everything you include and original firmware unrooted etc via odin also and you have the same result?
If it is doing the same with original fw sorry but I don't know what you can do in this situation my friend, efs is a big sh1t if is corrupted and you haven't a backup. I had heard that Samsung service center can rewrite it but I don't have experience .
Please edit your message and delete the number of your imei, it is unique and personal.

I don't know if you try to flash the modem only over revolution HD via chainfire's mobile odin what will be happened.
For doing this install mobile odin lite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 download from end of the page the add-on for n7100 (it's kernel for n7100) also download latest firmware from Sammy or better fne1 (the same version with revolution HD rom), unzip it, copy to your phone and mount the firmware at mobile odin at the place which is saying modem and flash it. Other way to do this is to extract with 7zip the Samsung fw (unzip first and after extract the unzipped .tar.md5 file with 7zip) and take the modem.bin file, copy to phone mount it at mobile odin and flash it. If is difficult to do this post to search at my pc and upload the modem. I have it somewhere.

Thanks very much for your help Vagsvag,i will try and do exactly what you told me to,step by step right now,and if it works out man.... you are going to have a big donation from me. Hopefully i am going to bring my phone back to life.
Forgot to mention,here is a list of ROMs i flashed with ODIN but with no succes.
Odin ver.3.09 (Run in administrator mode)
Stock ROMs as follows:
- GT-N7100_BTU_1_20121003084149_ (This is a 4.1.1 but still bad imei) after i flashed it with ODIN
- ROM-N7100XXUFNL1-20150116192411 (This one was 4.2 i guess) Still bad imei
- XEF-N7100XXUFND3-20140425111035 (This one`s the latest 4.2.2) And still bad IMEI
And all of them (i think) are stock ROM`s (Or at least that i what i tried downloading) From different locations. NONE of them worked thow...
Then i tried Phoenix ROM,no luck there,then i tried Android Revolution HD and still no luck. BUT it seems that everytime i install Android Rev.HD and i press reboot system , TWRP keeps telling me `FIX ROOT etc....` Everytime i install the ROM...hm.... Guess it`s just stupid permissions but it doesnt matter for me. As i had no problems,everytime i installed it,it had supersu in it,and busybox,and rootacces. So it`s ok.
Now i will try what you told me to do,and we will see how that goes. I will reply soon. Thanks again man,you have one beer from me. Your patience is gold for me.

This is the modem of fne1. I don't remember if revolution HD working correct with mobile odin. Some roms don't restart to make the flash. When you mount the modem and you click flash now mobile odin will do restart to flash it, if you see to don't restart is necessary to manual restart to recovery push the power button and select reboot to recovery, this is important, don't do normal restart if it fails to restart do only to recovery to avoid corruption of your installed recovery, after this your phone will restart at mobile odin recovery and will flash the modem. Also check wipe dalvik cache at mobile odin, not really necessary but check it.

Download this https://mega.co.nz/#!ot93EJCb!k9p5tB...cEC6QrjHH2jB0Y USE ODIN 3.09 ONLY. Match each section with each file, use all 4 files. Use PIT in PIT Ap in Ap Bl in BL CSC in Csc and Cp in Cp and let it all flash at once. The only things that should be checked, are AutoReboot Repartition and F.Reset Time.
Hope this helps.

Note 2 SHV-E250S IMEI Null/Null

Hello all,
after Rooting my Note 2 SHV-E250S a long time ago I get bored with the stock firmware JB 4.3 SKT-E250SKSUEMK9. So I decided to flash a new Custom Rom.
I start reading and preparing. Backed up my data with Titanium Backup and used this for my EFS Backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/efs-samsung-tool-universal-support-t2602325
It created this files: efs.img (20 MB) and efs.md5 (1KB)
so i went through and flashed this Custom Recovery(TWRP for SKT) with Odin: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote2t0lteskt.html
after reboot I wondered why I dont have to insert my PIN. Checked my IMEI and it says Null/Null
I tryed to Restore my EFS with the Samsung Tool and it didnt work.
Some forums talk about the .nv_data.bin in the EFS Folder. but I checked it with ES Data Explorer (root explorer is activated) and its not there.
What should I do now?
will it help if I go back to stock recovery?
I didnt found any for my device, so I would use [GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933542
it contains
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery

Click to collapse

What I tried till now:
- http://howto.highonandroid.com/sams...extract-stock-recovery-from-samsung-firmware/
Download stock firmware MK9 and extract stock recovery. Flashed with Odin. But it stuck on recovery.img. After 10 min I restart the Phone and --> Nothing. TWRP is still there
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pai4BH3AWq8
Enterd ServiceMode with *#0011#. But its --> Empty
There is also the Method of flashing Modem. It´s mentioned several times. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333216
I think its for the N7100 version. At least I didnt saw any post regarding the LTE version.

Alright, time for an update:
I decided to wait for Support and as you see --> Nothing
To post my question about the modem regarding compatability also faild because its in the dev forum. I need at least 10 posts to post there.
I'll keep you up to date

did you managed to fix the problem, as i got one E250S with the same problem (Unknown Baseband),
This happened after someone tried to flash the phone with N7100 firmware,
i tried to reflash the phone with it's original SKT firmware, and did flash the CP part twice, but that didn't fix the problem,
If someone have a solution for this, please post it here,
thanks in advance

Help! boot loop - Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock

Hello, i have a SM-G920P model, its on a boot loop with the message on the top in red:
KERNEL ITS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.
factory reset using the stock recovery and its the same.
i downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it with odin 3. but odin always gets stuck on "Nand Write Start!!".. and doesnt do nothing for hours. i also tried an older version of Odin (1.3) and its stuck also on the flash. also tried to flash custom recovery..
i read somewere that using kies "fimware upgrade and initialization" works.. kies said that my phone was no supported, but the tool did accepted my phone model, but not my serial no. located on the back of phone (in odin mode is the same number). if somebody have the same model can give me their s/n so kies can download the firmware and i can flash using kies.
or does somebody know any good tricks i can do??
thanks

Yes, use Odin to install the latest stock ROM. There are numerous threads right here explaining how to do this and providing links. But....
Download Odin from here: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/
