I strongly recommend reading the main thread but basically Advanced Wireless Services generally refers to the 1700/2100MHz frequency band pairing in the U.S. that will be used for T-Mobile USA's 3G UMTS network

Anybody who had luck with MG1 modem?
I tried to flash the MG1 modem from the tread using mobile odin (untar the MG1.tar, flash modem.bin using modem2 option). When I rebooted the baseband under settings/about was unknown and I couldn't get any reception. What am I doing wrong?
Im kinda confused, sorry but as far as I know there no updates for t mobiles modem/radio the only one I know from tmobile id currently is M919UVUAMDL? Many said if you flash others carrier modem/radio your phone gonna be bricked.
Please tell me that I can flash all these radio/modems it would make mr love my tmobile S4 even more. :thumbup:

Try re flashing your kernel of choice... If that doesn't work you'll have to stay on the modem specific to your carrier 1337m don't have any issues flashing international modems so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I tried to re-flash using ODIN 3.07, and I get an error saying that the C++ runtime crashed. I wonder whether the file is corrupt (I have re-downloaded MG1.tar, still same problem).... Very odd..
Somewhat, mobile odin broke my CWM recovery as well during this process. When I try to reboot into recovery to flash the kernel, the phone simply reboot after showing th small blue rebooting recovery text. So, I had to reflash the recovery through desktop odin again... Anyhow, long story short, I have reflashed google play edition 4.2.2 kernel that I was using, and still cannot get any reception (modem section still unknown) with the MG1 modem file...

I did follow the Mobile Odin instructions.
Anyhow, now even after flashing the original standalone MDL modem through desktop odin, I have no baseband.... Kind of sucks I will try to go back to fully stock with the original ODIN package and retry later on. Hope this will fix my modem...

Ok, back to square 1. Fixed the unknown baseband and I am at the original MDL.
Now, I decided to go the DESKTOP ODIN route. Extracted modem.bin, fired up ODIN 3.07, clicked phone, selected modem.bin, unchecked auto reboot, hit start and got fail!. The phone screen shows "secure check fail : mdm". Is this MG1 modem maybe not compatible with M919?
I don't this is a good idea. Flashing other carrier's modem??

Hi, newbie here. I bought a brand new Samsung galaxy note 2 from sprint and I jail broke it using the ordin tool kit. Well, according to root checker it was successful. but here is where I am having problems. I flashed about 3 different ROMS to it but I cannot get any mobile network on phone.There is an X over the signal strength on phone screen. When you go to settings , then status it says:Network unknown, Mobile network type unknown, Service state out of service, My phone number unknown , Mobile network state disconnected, MIN unknown, PRL unknown, MEID unknown, IMEI unknown, ICCID unknown. The internet works only via wifi. I called sprint to verify that that my services are still current and i even got the MSL # from them. Any ideas on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

Android Version 4.1.2

I have the same issue and have tried using the latest modem but it still happens. I also have the same issue when restoring nands from cwm and twrp. Going to try a couple of the older modems and hopefully one of them will work.
What I did I installed the modem again and the kernel. I had started a thread in which I helped myself lol. But it's either the kernel or the modem. After that I never again had an issue.
The reason I eliminated the kernel is that pretty much every ROM has its own kernel.
But then again im no expert. Just a guy who got the same problem resolved in the same device

Try the Sprint activation command. ##SCRTN# it works for me.
Stepped down to ljc modem and now my flashed cricket settings stick. No matter how I flashed mc2 modem (recovery or Odin) nothing stayed after flashing, restoring, or factory reset. Also my signal was stronger with the older modem.

I've been having an issue where I'm not receiving any phone calls, I tried this code and it didn't help. I've tried different types of codes and even called Sprint but nothing has changed. Still not receiving phone calls.
Anyone have any other dialer codes that I can try that may help? No problem sending or receiving texts, no issues making calls.
I've tried a few different roms, clean wipes, restores of nandroids, mc2 and ma7 modems. Right now, I'm on Synergy. Updated prl and profile as well.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

4. Have you flashed any roms through odin?

I just tried that but still has the red x
Guys you have to do a manual provisioning of the phone. Since your phone has no valid entries you will not get a signal or be able to provision via data connection. I can't recall the hash code to get into manual provisioning but that's exactly what you have to do in this case. It's best just to call Sprint tech support and they can step you through it as well as give you the correct parameters, min, etc. Been there done that.
Handsfree sprint activation is ##72786#
Hoping this helps
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I would have suggested Hands Free Activation but it won't work because the phone can't connect to service in its current state. Manual provisioning is the only way to get the phone back in service. Call Sprint tech support because they can give you the correct numbers and other entries that must be correct in order for the phone to connect to any service.

Forget about downgrade to 4.1.2.
2 possibilities to get network connection:
a) Flash latest modem of your region
b) Flash XXUFND3 from France (here maybe you got also to flash modem, but not sure)
I did the same thing, flashed ND3 modem. In that wifi always consumes battery even though its not turned ON. And mobile data/surfing speed is ridiculously slow. What should i do?

If you mean modem.bin it is included in the stock rom's .tar file. You can see it if you open the .tar file with Winrar.

i actually used shiamatsu's method of going from the MDL modem to the NB4 modem.
so i cannot revert back to the MDL modem even if i were to flash the MDL modem via odin?
i cannot revert back to older modems via odin if i were to say flash an international modem like the XXUFNB8 or XXUFNB9 modem for the I9505?
can i flash those international modems on my t-mo s 4 to fix wifi issues i'm having?

Modems you can. But thats not whats posted. If you flash full nb4 firmware with its bootloader. You can not downgrade.

I flashed the C-Rom found in one of the threads on this forum for the t-mo s 4.
However, my wifi is now wonky and it doesn't log into or accept my wifi login details or allow me to connect to wifi
so i was thinking since it is an international rom, i might try to flash an international modem to try and fix the wi fi issue.

Na not at all. Doesn't matter what you're running, will erase all of whatever rom youre running and install the firmware. Recovery, roms, kernels, etc dont matter at all. You may have to wipe data and cache in recovery after you flash it for it to boot tho which is common no matter what you're running.

Oh one more question while I'm at 10% of downloading android 4.4.2, whats this MEGS site I'm downloading from? I read about it and it seems secure, is it worth my time to download on everything, and start useing?
I'm currently downloading the 4.4.2 nb4 version onto my phone, cause the internet was turned off today until we pay the late fee. However that I'd only s minor inconvience sincrvyhtottled T mobile I'd as fast around here as internrt. I'll dimply transfer it f4om phone to computer as soon as its done

About the know counter, my first s4 with TMobile got broke and replaced, and they didn't even bother checking the counter, when I first went with T Mobile even asked, they said if I rooted the phone it voided the software warranty and the phones software was my responsibility..........uh..........OK... I can live with that, especially when it means I have full control and my choice of roms and apps

Hey guys. I just got an AT&T SGH-i747 from a friend. I'm on T-mobile. Can someone point me to the proper threads to get this working with a T-Mobile sim card, rooted & custom recovery flashed? Thanks!
You just need to SIM unlock it to get it working on T-Mobile. If its on 4.3 firmware you'll need to buy a code online.
Root using Towelroot.
Never flash anything but a simple ROM from our forum. For anything else such as firmware you have to use at forums.

I747UCDMG2...which one is that? & can I get an unlock code from at&t without buying it?
BTW, I read the unlock thread after starting this one so at least I was able to get that far...lol
Edit: also, isn't there a way to check the binary code within a file & get the unlock code from there? I remember doing that with a friend's samsung infuse.
EDIT #2: Nevermind, I found the unlock method.

I think that's 4.1.2 so the unlock method should work.. For flashing custom recovery check the at&t threads, it may be different for that device than ours, and you should be fine flashing any of the T-Mobile ROMs here. Flashing a T-Mobile touchwiz ROM will even give you Wi-Fi calling as well if that's of interest to you

Thanks for the info. However, I don't think I have the 4.1.2 firmware. I don't have the "nw lock nv data initialliz" option
I have 4.1.2, but I need to roll back to 4.1.1 for the unlock method to work. I'm downloading odin, updated drivers, & 4.1.1 software now.
Soooo...I downgraded & unlocked successfully. However, I can't find towelroot. =\ I know my rooting options are limited, but can I use the odin method to root if I can't find towelroot? Also, I can't seem to use the mobile network for internet. Is this a known issue & is there a fix?
Towelroot is on page 1 in General.
Font know about network problem. Need detailed info about what is running on your device.

I'm still running stock, but when I try to open the internet without a wifi connection, it says no mobile network.
I do have another question, though. I can't seem to get from the MJB to the NE4 firmware. when I try to install it, it says:
Code:
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I727UCUEMJB"
Checking firmware version in phone info, it shows I727UCUEMJB. I have superuser flashed. I'm at a loss unless it's a bad file & I need to find another.
EDIT:
I found another file...yours, actually...and it gives me "FILE CORRUPTION DETECTED!!!"
Install and open terminal emulator. Enter this..
getprop ro.bootloader
Let us know what it returns.

It's still showing DLK3.

Edit:
And I still have issues getting on the internet, no mobile network. I have S3Rx for the MJB firmware, along with ktoonsz kernel. does it possibly have to do with me browsing through the phone settings before I downgraded? I was exploring the different menus and could have possibly done something to disable my nework. any thoughts or ideas on that?
Actually, you are not on MJB firmware. You are on LK3 according to that command I gave you. So I'm guessing your baseband is MJB. This may be why it's not working. Flash the LK3 modem and see if that helps.

Ok. So I should go back to 4.1.1 using Odin, then flash up by steps? I tried the link with the update files, but they didn't work. The upgrade I did was supposed to be a modem flash from recovery. I got all my files from the sticky round up in the at&t section. What about the deal with my mobile network. That started way before all this, then I was on stock 4.1.1.

Oh, I thought it started after you had flashed something. In that case, I'd say the best option is to flash stock firmware via Odin and factory reset. If you are full stock and clean, and still have problems, we will at least know its not soft/firmware related.

No. It has been that way. Afaik, it has been since I had this phone. Had no service until I downgraded to do the unlock. I was going through that diagnostics menu looking through it before I realized I had to downgrade to get the option I needed to unlock the phone. Maybe I did something while I was going through the different options in that menu.

So I decided to check a few things in that menu & got my internet working. Problem is I can't get it to get past edge. =\

If you are not in a refarmed area you'll have to do the AWS mod. Can you get LTE?
Hmmm. I know I'm in a city that can do lte: san antonio. I had to set the network control to gsm. However I chose all bands for gsm & all freq for lte.

That should be a refarmed area.. Choose automatic instead of GSm, that's why it will only connect to edge, and make sure you have the fast.t-mobile.com APN
Done. And it worked. Thanks!
