[Q] request: just the t889 modem odin flash file - non cwm versions

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.

[Q] Advice/Help: Opening and re-pack stock TAR.MD5 file

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.

Modem question

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.

[Q] Creating ODIN Flashable Packages for SM-T900

I have the latest full stock base for the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 Wifi (SM-T900) and want to make a bootloader package that can be flashed in ODIN.
Inside of the full stock tar file is:
boot.img
recovery. img
system. img
cache.img
hidden.img
sboot.bin
Which is the bootloader, and what do I need to do to the file, if anything, so that it can be flashed individually in ODIN? Also, should there be a modem file? Alternatively, is it possible to create a zip of these things (bootloader, modem) that's flashable in TWRP?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not quite sure which one is bootloader. Sometimes you can't flash each one individual ly with odin(ex like creating an odin tar that just has system). Modem files are only on lte devices. Most times you don't need them for custom roms. Anyway, you can extract each IMG and create and tar the IMG up. There are a few commands and guides to tar something and add md5 to them.
As for a flash able zip yes and no. Bootloader can't be flashed in twrp most times since I have never seen anything like that. You usually have to flash bootloader with odin. Modems don't need to be flashed since twrp doesn't mess with it most times. But you can create an flash able zip of kernel, recovery and I'm unsure of system.img(may need to extract or adjust updater scipt. Though I dont fully know).
Usually the twrp flashable in ArchiKitchen so it can help with the updater scipt stuffs. Just don't add any options such as root and busybox to it. I've never seen a flashable bootloader in twrp so it's highly unlikely of it being possible.
Hope this helps!

Hi
The bootloader tar package for flashing in ODIN:
1) boot.img
2) sboot.bin
Use 'Total Commander' (google it) to make tar package (bootloader).

Any luck with the port?

Modem / Kernel / IMEI / Stock rom 4.4.2

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.
