Updated to stock touchwiz 4.3, phone freeze when make call - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was using CarbonROM based on JB 4.3.1 but was getting fed up with not being able to connect with families oversea through VOIP such as skype, viber, etc... because the mic doesn't work with voip apps in AOSP Roms. So I decided to go back to stock and full flash samsung's 4.3 stock rom via Odin 3.9; the rom was 2.24GB extracted so I'm almost certain and well aware that it's the bloated tmo samsung tw version.
About device show android version 4.3, baseband M919UVUEMK2, and I can get LTE signal fine but cannot toggle wifi on. And when I go to place a phone call the entire UI freeze and won't respond, then come the "Process com.android.phone isn't responding" dialog box. Except for wifi and phone call everything else seems to work, but I haven't tested extensively yet nor are they important to me.
From here I went about installing latest CWM recovery and SU, and I was able to install OmniROM and CM11 nightlies. But the phone UI freezing problem still persist even with those custom roms.
At this point I have an inkling it has something to do with the new MK2 modem. I noticed that when installing the stock fw it had modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin entries in Odin. I read through other threads and some mention about not installing NON-HLOS.bin file, but it was included in the stock fw so I don't know why it would misbehave (if it's the culprit)
At this point I am out of options. Someone with knowledge and experience with this please give helps or suggestions. Thank you!

If you flashed via Odin, you had no choice with the non _hlos.bin. That's only for peoples sticking with mdl bootloader but flash 4.3 ROM.
Have you tried a factory reset after updating to 4.3
☞ Sent from here☜

I did a factory reset in TW and it still freeze. I can open the dialer app, punch in a number or choose from contact list, but as soon as I hit Dial the whole phone freeze. The connection is made because I test dialed my home phone # and it rang, just that I could not get the phone to talk. No dial sound from the phone, screen it black; I can see status bar but it won't respond to my touch. When I pick up the home phone and tried to make a conversation there's no sound coming out of the S4, and even if I yell real loud into the mic no voice is carried over to the home phone.
I tried installing latest Omni rom 4.4.2 kitkat nightly, did a factory reset after letting phone sit still at home screen for 5 mins after installation, still can't get the phone app to do its job at all.
Edit: forgot to mention that the phone is unlocked and I'm using Straight Talk AT&T LTE sim. LTE works fine, just no calling due to this update problem here.

nvm I fixed it by reflashing a file Modem_UVUAMDL.tar.md5 until it turns back to MDL baseband, then flashed modem.bin only and it everything works again.

i'm having the same issue, I was to download the modem_UVUAMDL.tar.md5 but it did not include the modem.bin. is it safe to use any version of the modem.bin file I find here?

[Q] Can't send sms and greyed bar after cm 10.2

Hello fellow xda members. Well after searching for a solution for my for nearly a week now i figure i should post the question to see if i can get an answer. I did search around before hand and tried many solutions but to no avail.
Background, I have a sgh-t999 that's apparently unlocked since I've been using a fido sim card in it for several months now. when ever I'm running cm 10.1, I have full network access, texts, mms, 3g data, etc.Note: d2mtr is flashed to my phone and my model number gets changed to sch-r530, baseband: t999vvllh2.
After flashing to cm 10.2 RC1. d2mtr. I get stuck on the metroPcs network with out any way to manually switch network operators because the option in mobile networks is greyed out. Everything seems to work fine in terms of calls but besides being able to receive texts messages i can't send them. The signal bar seems to be empty or greyed out yet it still picks up 3g data. I've vigorously checked my apn settings to no avail. deleted the voice+ apk since I'm not in the US being in Canada and i'm all out of options right now. If i restore back to my previous backup ,everything works fine and i did check to see if I loose my imei number after flash.
I previously tried flashing d2tmo to my device but to no avail, assert errors. It would greatly be appreciated to get a response and thank you in advance for any help.
Edit: It's a sgh-t999v as printed behind the battery. I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775616 hence the reason why I'm coming from ICS. Looks like I'll have to reflash using ODIN which i was trying to avoid out of fear of bricking but it seems like my only option now.

Might not be the right ROM for your phone. Or it could be buggy. I've messed around with a few and finally found a great one that seems to be working well for me. I have the d2ltetmo. I'm running Liquid Smooth ROM with 4.2.2 and TWRP 2500 recovery. The ROM roots your phone as well. Any questions feel free to ask. Hope I can help!:cyclops:
I wouldn't flash D2MTR Rom to D2TMO. Too many differing things. There's a CM for D2TMO too.
Are you sure that's a t999? The baseband looks like the one for the t999v.. And it also looks like you might be on ICS firmware.. What I suggest you do is check the model number of your phone to be sure what model you have, after that update to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 via Odin but make sure its the firmware for your model. After this flash your custom recovery, and then try flashing cm10.1 for d2tmo.. If your device bootloops after you Odin, enter recovery and do a factory reset.
Edit: check the model number by removing the battery and it will say at the back of the phone.. And the firmwares to flash in odin are in the development thread

Well after a long process of flashing stock jb then finding a proper method of flashing cwm since i had difficulties with fastboot and went with the dd if-of method using the terminal emulator. I am finally on a stable cm 10.2 rom, d2tmo, where everything seems to be working and intact. Thanks for the advice now i have the long process of restoring my apps and data and what not with titanium backup.

Network Data Hosed

I've gotten my phone into a state where I see signal bars, I can make calls and send texts, but no LTE or H+ is displayed and if I try do anything involving the internet it says there's no network connection. Wifi works just fine.
Here's how I got into the predicament. I should have learned my lesson from last time I flashed a Verizon ROM, but I didn't, and I flashed SkyNote RC9Z-3.9.1. Data works just fine in THAT ROM, but any subsequent ROM flashed after that... the network data is completely HOSED. I've tried enabling and disabling network data in settings. I've tried flashing the Devil kernel. I've tried restoring several different ROMS from nandroid backups. All restore fine and all have completely non-working network data. Last time I ran into this I had to flash the stock image in Odin to fiz the issue. This time however, that didn't work. The images flashed successfully, but upon reboot all I got was a a welcome screen bootloop of the samsung swirly logo and the T-Mobile logo.
I'm guessing this has something to do with the 4.3 bootloader? I'm downloading T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_TMB.zip from SamMobile site and boy is it taking FOREVER! 7 hours left on the download. My thinking thoug is that If I unzip this new 4.3 firmware and flash it with Odin (or Kies if I absolutle have to) my device will start behaving again, and Network data will work, and I can go about ROM flashing and hopping again (though I'm gonna stay away from those Verizon ROMs let met tell you!).
Does anyone else have any other suggestions on what I can do to get my data back or to patch my bootloader to the 4.3 version? I was looking at this thread and wondering if it's safe to follow this procedure for patching once I have installed the 4.3 stock image:

[Solved]Phone Calls Dont Work

I just recently flashed HispAsian_BlackOut_v0.2 and also odin NH7 modem. Now when I try to make phone calls, nothing happens. As in, I try to dial a number and it just stays on the dialer and it says "Process com.android.phone isn't responding"(I can still send/recieve text and use data). I tried reflashing the rom, the modem, updating the NH7 Firmware and I still have the same problem (I always do a full wipe). Any ideas how to fix this?
Even though i updated the firmware, it didnt work the first time.

[Q] Upgraded to 4.4.4 No longer have cell service?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development/moving-please-post-t3009561
flashed that
Wifi works. Data/Calls do not.
What do I need to update?
Tried another 4.4.4 rom, same result
You probably have to update your bootloader, I had the same problem a while back. I Oden the entire 4.4.4 tmobile firmware and haven't had a problem since.

You need to read through the thread and see how other folks fixed the problem. The rom thread that you flashed.

Well If you really need your phone to work properly, receive and make calls, working mms and have long battery life and not blow up, you may have to settle for stock /touchwiz.

Have a job interview need urgent help...i747uclg1 upgraded to lollipop

and my phones doesn't recognize my sim anymore. I can receive calls and dial and it says 'no service' I am unable to load anything on the internet on my LTE connection, but can still send text messages.
I have always just factory reset and flashed a new rom/gapps/davlick and cache wipe.
SOmething I am seeing with the i747 is that people are speaking about updating bootloaders etc etc? Do I have to do this? Is my problem with radio or modem ( I reflashed the stock modem)?
Someone plase guide me as the documentation on this and upgrading bootloaders isn't too clear and can potentially brick a phone from what I understand.
Cm12 also doens't work like the LiquidSmooth lollipop. However 4.1.2 and the original ICS roms work. What is going on here?
Also I have a job interview so really need his up and running with new Lollipop;(
Solution: Had to upadte the modem to modem_CWM_I747UCUEMJB Seems to be working

Glad you now have it working.
If you intend to update to Lollipop ROMs you will find you need to be on KitKat bootloaders. Once at this version the bootloader and modem(baseband) versions must always match. I would strongly recommend confirming what each are before flashing anything else. You can do this with the Phone Info - Samsung from the Playstore, by vndnugyen. Or you could use these Terminal Emulator commands to do the same thing:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep baseband.version
Well, I had your problem before, all I did is to flash a fresh copy of the factory firmware and it works wonder.
The link is on ANDROIDAYOS and I can't link it because I am too new to post link
1. Get your PC
2. Download the factory firmware (select the version of the Android you got when you bought your phone)
3. Download the Odin thing from the link above (any version work)
4. Wait 7 hours for the factory firmware to download...
5. Extract either download somewhere on your computer
6. Open Odin
7. Click on "AP" or "PDA"
8. Select your extracted factory firmware
9. Put your GS3 sgh i747m on Odin mode
You put a gs3 on Odin mode by first shutting down. After you press on "Volume Down" + "Power button" + "Home button". It will take you to accept their condition that it's your responsibility to not screw your phone and blah blah. Accept it by pressing "Volume up"
10. Connect your Sgh i747m on your PC
11. Odin with detect
12. Press on "Start" on Odin
13. Wait
14. Disconnect your Sgh i747m from the PC and enjoy your factory new phone!
Bootloader version: I747UCDLK3 (4.1.1)
Baseband I747UCUEMJB
How do I even update my bootloader, do you have a link to what I can ODIN(PDA) flash? Never uploaded my bootloader ever...I think
Also I"m confused this seems to be working fine (although my GPS might need more driving /testing might a cellular issue) so the 'required kitkat' is clearly not true right?
Is the phone sim unlocked? If not, flashing a completely stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM should be possible since the phone's bootloader is lk3 4.1.1. After flashing the stock 4.1.1, the free method can be used to permanently sim unlock the phone.
To make sure your phone will work with the most recent custom ROMs, I suggest flashing back to a stock 4.1.1 ROM and run OTA updates until the phone is running the most recent ROM. This is the slowest method but the safest in my opinion.
