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.

In order to save my phone, I need the modem flash for file t889 that can be used with Odin and not CWM. Please advise.
Unzip CWM version , you will have Zimage ( Odin file). If I'm not wrong.

thanks for the suggestion. However, in the zip file there's the modem.bin, and the flash_image file and a folder with other stuff. I am uncertain which one to extract. (yes, I am googling this as I ask.)
the modem.bin file is the one you need. would you mind posting a link to the CWM zip you have of the modem? been looking for it..
My experience with Odin and modem cross-flashing is that is fails before writing anything. (T889-LJ1 on T889, T889V-LJ4 on T889V and so on should work. Other partitions made with this method work flawlessly, so I'm guessing there's an additional check in the bootloader for modem images.)
Anyway, here goes. Those files were made by extracting from their respective Odin images, from Sammobile and tarring with the Cygwin tar binary.

hi, am running cwm 10.1, but baseband is still on MC8, is it possible with odin to only update the modem/baseband to say MG2? and if so, where would i find this separate file?
tnx

To flash single files you can use Heimdall. Set it up, extract your PIT, go to the Flash tab, use the PIT you have extracted and then add only the partitions you need, with their files. Flash and enjoy.
Regarding the baseband update, I can't tell if it will work, nor what files you may have to use.
Hello,
I am a noob and trying to unlock SGH-T999 currently on 4.1.2 . Reading all forums, I learned that I have to downgrade to 4.1.1 . Also I read that I need to downgrade the modem , unlock , then upgrade the modem. I also managed to root the phone.
My problem is locating the files, everywhere I find is full spam and etc including Sammobile
I appreciate if someone can provide me a link that I can find the two modems I need.
Thank you in advance.
The only thing you need is to downgrade the modem.. You can either do a full downgrade to 4.1.1 or just downgrade the modem to LJA.. I don't know where you have been searching to locate these files but everything you need is in the development or general threads
Edit: they're all in the development thread and stickied

Thank you very much, I located them on development thread. Before I was on other sites that would end up being spam or all kinds surveys before they give the download link.
Just to clarify, I use the odin to flash the 4.1.1 ( Nov 2012) LJA modem, and after unlocking , I have to revert back to MD5. Is this right?
Also I see LJC modem for 4.1.1 ( Jan 2013 ) . Which one is better to use ?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
No, you use custom recovery to flash the modems.. And I would flash LJA.. LJC was kind of iffy for some.. If you don't want to use custom recovery then flash LJA firmware via Odin, and after you do the unlock, flash MD5 with Odin

My friend,
Flashing with odin failed: I selected Phone and pointed to the LJA.bin and AUTO Reboot was checked. Luckily the phone is still ok. Now, if I use custom recovery, which file should I point to as I do not see a DOT TAR file in the Modem zip files .
Thank you for your help.
No, you flash the zips with custom recovery, you do not extract them and flash the bin with Odin.. So you can use a custom recovery and flash the zip or download the LJA firmware and flash Odin.. The firmware is the one that will be a TAR file.. Luckily your phone didn't brick

It worked great from custom recovery, unlocked the phone , inserted ATT sim card, and it saw the AT network with the correct APN and etc. And now I am back on MD5. The actual unlocking thing took 10 min, and I spent about 6 hours researching it. Good learning experience though!
Thank you very much for your help..
I currently have a m919 and using an AT&T sim. The ROM I'm using is AICP and I'm on the NB4 baseband. I had a problem with my signal strength using the lollipop version of AICP and was told to use the NH7 baseband. But I'm seeing HLOS and Non-HLOS versions both tar and zip files. I'm busting wanting a time that I can flash on my custom recovery that I won't be needing to download a huge factory file that I'll have to flash through Odin. Can someone please give me a link or at least guide me to the right path to take? Thanks in advance!

If I recall correctly, one can extract the modem.bin (modem) and non-hlos.bin (LTE modem) directly from the full stock 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.
