Assuming you have the official 4.4 update (bootloader, KNOX, etc) you can't downgrade your modem. Being as NB4 is the most recent modem available, you cannot change it until a newer firmware is released.

I am seriously thinking of getting a M919 but I really hate the slow fw update from carrier.
Does anyone know if I9505 FW will work on M919?
Since the hardware is basically the same, I am thinking if I can just extract the system.img from I9505 and wrap it into the M919 FW. Thanks.
I'm wondering this as well, assuming that the modem and is not flashed.

Exactly. Don't flash the modem or you will end up with a baseband unknown/IMEI = 0.

So, just don't flash the modem and the I9505 FW will work on M919?
IIRC Steve Kondik(Cyanogen)'s current personal phone is a M919 (jfltetmo), so there should be a LOT of interesting ROMs coming out shortly.

If you're only interested in official OTAs from Tmo, they will obviously take a while to trickle out.

I am interested in official international ROM but not the official carrier ROM as the international ROM always gets the most updates. So I am looking for a easy port of I9505 FW to M919 since most of the hardware of both devices are the same.

just system.img. you need csc stuff from our cache.img, though

I9505 Rom tested & working for M919 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291523
This is awesome. So this means that if I buy a tmobile GS4 any roms from the international i9505 work for the tmobile version? Since it is the same phone hardware. So this means that when samsung updates the international s4 i9505 we can have those updates too for our tmobile gs4 am i correct? in a custom rom of course you dont want to flash a none tmobile modem... But like on my GS3, the international already have roms from the leak 4.2.2 and due difference in the hardware we cant port those roms but in this case with the GS4 we can...
Am I correct?

So, basically I just grab the I9505 FW from Sammobile, remove the modem inside and everything will be good to go?
That will be great to hear!
I extracted the I9505 FW tar and saw some files I cannot recognized. Does anyone know what those files are? Should I flash those or leave them? Thanks.

depends on how you're trying to go about this. are you trying to build an actual ROM for recovery or TAR for Odin? i'm assuming you're trying to make a ROM. you need just the system.img from that. then pull our cache.img for the csc stuff so you have a signal, etc. then pick a boot.img either from the i9505 FW or from the T-Mob FW. just remember to also grab the respective modules. this is all i've needed to build a full working ROM.

NON-HLOS is another modem file. i believe modem.bin is for standard GSM. NON-HLOS.bin i believe is for LTE. regardless, don't grab either of them from the i9505 FW as they are def modem (Baseband) parts. not sure what tz.mbn is nor aboot.mbn but you don't need them. again you just specifically need system.img components from i9505. you could essentially just pull that and use everything else from T-Mob FW and it will work.

So, following files from I9505 FW
1. system.img.ext4
2. cache.img.ext4
3. hidden.img.ext4
4. boot.img (if i want international kernel)
5. recovery.img (will international recovery work on M919?)
Plus all other files from M919 FW?
Thanks for the help!

Cool but my point is that all quadcore S4 are the same hardware not the octa cored.. You know samsung updates their international ship first ad there here we have to wait for the carrier.
in this case we dont no more because we can just grab an i9505 rom from their leak updates.
So this phone is really a worldwide phone same hardware. not the octa cored.
People have been saying that this phone is not really that much of an upgrade from the S3 in this case I think it is. It doesnt matter if tmobile takes a while on releasing the newest update you can still get it from any other quadcored phone thats have it..

I get where you're coming from. I've been flashing the different variants of ROMs since I got the phone. It is definitely beneficial to have so many phones with the same hardware in the development aspect.

As I know, I8160ZS*** can't update to Jellybean.
And if I flash samsung official 4.1.2 (with baseband XX***), I will got "baseband unknown".
So I tried to flash CM10.2 by TeamCanjica, and replace /system/lib/tee files to my own.
After reboot, it works very good.
Baseband isn't unknown and IMEI isn't disappear.
But it still no signal.
I think it can be modified by developers.
Is it possible?

Roms don't include modems. You will have to Odin the radio. That's user choice on if you want to upgrade

For me, updating my modem has increased both signal reception and data speeds. You can always go back if you see a drop in performance.

Confusion about modems + custom recoveries
Hi,
I have an i337m from Puerta Rico that I'm running on USA T-mobile. The radios are the initial release and I'd like to update them. I'm running Wicked V10. I've successfully (I think) done the AWS hack to get the GSM HSPA+ bands.
a) Do/Can I flash T-mobile S4 radios?
b) A little confused about flashing radios on a custom recovery. I tried flashing the MK2 radios but it obviously checked the boot loader when it failed.
Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't flash a modem made for a different device, even if they are similar.
It might be that it i sokay, but you need to research the hell out of it first and make absolute sure.
Don't just take a chance and see what happens.

mentioned this regarding the new modem that just came out days ago:
Unless someone can confirm more radio/modem changes/improvements already claimed by T-Mobile regarding this M919UVUFNH7 update, there should be no expected improvements aside from the new in-flight wifi.
Am I right people?
So if you are not wanting to use wifi on an airplane in the near future, there isn't really any reason to flash the new modem binaries. Unless you just like the hassle of Odin flash, don't reboot, pull your battery, stick out your tongue and hold your head just right, -repeat

The latest stock Note 3 N900T 4.4.2 firmware is not NF1 it's NF9
and you can find and download it from http://SamMobile.com
The full version of the firmware to look for is: N900TUVUDNF9
Good luck!
