So i recently got an S4 SGH-M919V and the reason was because the sound was not working for some reason ive been told that it worked before they flashed cm11 and suddenly ive been told it lost sound so i was confused so i thought it would be a rom bug ~ so ive tried several roms and no luck. if anyone could help me find out a way i would gladly thank you so far ive install cwm recovery and Mahdi ROM :highfive:

Type in terminal emulator getprop ro.bootloader post the last 4 digits.. What I think happened is they flashed the MK2 modem along with the NON-HLOS on an older bootloader so you need to flash the NON-HLOS for the bootloader you have. You can also flash the stock firmware

THANKS MAN I GOT IT!!!!
i got it from here and did what you told me!
THANK YOU:laugh::highfive:
Umm are you sure that's an M919V? Because that is an M919 bootloader. Can you check behind the battery on the sticker what model number it says it is?

Hello, I am having a problem with not hearing phone calls and others not hearing me at all. Its just dead silence. I also looked in terminal and got M919UVUFNB4, does this mean I should download a different modem or something?

Depends on what your set up is. You can try flashing NB4 NON-HLOS and see if that was all you needed or just flash the full NB4 firmware

Then it may be a network issue.. I guess you can't rule out a hardware issue, but see if you can try using another phone or if you know someone else that uses the same provider as you and see if they can make calls through the network. You can also try swapping sim cards

I've searched but can't find an UVUAMDL baseband file to flash anywhere, any idea why that is ?
I'm on rooted UVUAMDL stock rom but still on UVUAMDB baseband and I've been losing network connection 3 times today in areas where my gf's S4 on stock UVUAMDL has been rock solid, so I think having the modem mismatch the rom is probably the issue...

I'm using the Wicked v2 ROM that is using MDB as the baseband and the only network issue I'm having is connecting to the LTE network. Phone connection is fine, 4G connection works great, but whenever I'm in an area that has the new T-mobile LTE network, my phone loses its data connection unless I force it to use the 4G connection.
I had same exact problem. I Odin'd the MDL tar which put me at MDL baseband and that fixed my problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628

Also tried this last night with no success. Still on older baseband. I believe its what breaks my WiFi. The only temporary solution I've found is to flash a custom kernel I found here. Its fixed my WiFi issues but I'd eventually would like to have my baseband upgraded too.

we now have a modem thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282342
Wow, that was crazy. I tried heimdall flashing the modem at first and nothing. So I made one of my flashable update .zips I had made for T999 and still nothing!
Then I found this thread and tried something crazy:
(1) Download mode + heimdall flash of a few files w/o reboot, then hard reboot back to Download Mode
(2) heimdall flash of same files w/o reboot (it should error)), then hard reboot back to Download Mode
(3) heimdall print-pit (forces it to reboot cleanly)
I did this with all the firmware files including the bootloader but it was scary. I tried to do all the other firmware files at once and it wrote all but aboot.mbn and failed to write that one out. It was worrying since I the other bootloader files had succeeded and I was worrying I could possibly brick it. I repeated the above steps for aboot.mbn and got it to update as well. It seems the above steps can't be used for all the firmware files at once, but at least a few of them. It seems heimdall can get into a bad state with communicating with the device if too many flashes are pushed at once.
This was with a clean git checkout of heimdall from its github repo the other night. Unfortunately heimdall seems to have a bunch of bugs lately. 1.4rc1 (shipped with Debian and other distros) is broken for the S3. --no-reboot option suppresses reboot on S3 and S4 but further commands are not accepted, requiring manual hard reboot. Earlier versions don't work at all.
It worked out for me in the end but gosh I don't know how I'd modify the script to work short of someone having some sort of way of overriding the write protection. I tried dd manually in recovery and in CM and nothing... Seems like some sort of NAND write protection is going on. If I dd a modem to mmcblk0p1 and read it back, the content doesn't change
Maybe we need something like wpthis.ko from HTC Vision days ...
Anyway I got my wife's phone on UVUAMDL w/o Odin but boy it wasn't pretty. I made an updater script but it doesn't actually work do to the above reasons.
Anyone know what's up with the crazy write protection on the mmcblk0 partitions? It seems nothing ever gets written to mmcblk0p1 for example if I try to write NON-HLOS.bin out to it.
Major props for the modem-only Odin package for the S4, but unfortunately not all of us here have/want to use Windows, so I'd like to figure out a flashable update.zip solution to simplify this like I've done on the T999 S3.
Unfortunately my script was a no-op and only doing a bunch of crazy stuff through heimdall and hard rebooting the device several times over was the only way for me to achieve a full MDL firmware upgrade for S4 that included NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin (the two modem firmwares on S4), rpm.mbn (Resource and Power Management), sbl{2,3}.mbn and aboot.mbn (MDL bootloader), and tz.mbn (MDL Trust Zone)
I noticed Download Mode had "Write Protect: On" -- I don't remember if my S3 says this or not.
Is anyone working on a way to get around this? Maybe the hack can be integrated into an update.zip script that updates the firmware. MDB radio / firmware seemed really bad on the S4. It would sometimes have trouble making 911 calls (!!!) and was overall really lame with power usage and data. I'm still playing with MDL to see how much improvement there is, but seems like a nice win.

Still having Issues with Mobile Signal
I have flashed the MK2 modem successfully but ever since doing so my mobile signal is TERRIBLE! I live in a major city and have never had issues with signal until now. I just went back in and confirmed the MK2 modem did install as it says: "M919UVUEMK2" under base band version. Any ideas on what I could try to fix this?
Thanks,

Worked third try, everything seems good so far now.
Hi xda, I hope your Friday is going well.
EDIT: My calling problem was not fixed. I reflashed 4.4.2 NB4 Modem (twice to make sure it stuck) and the calling still does not work. Did something just completely fry when I had CM11 on this thing? Any ideas anybody? I don't even hear a dial tone if I am the one dialing out, the call still goes through though.
Everything below was my original post which has been resolved, didn't want to start a new thread though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR: My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 (SGH-M919) is unable to boot stock rom, and I am unable to enter recovery. I get seandroid messages trying to do either. Fortunately, the phone can enter download mode. What do I need to do or flash to get this phone booting again? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and help out.
Below is the long story with details:
1. The phone was given to me running stock Android/TouchWiz. Unfortunately, I do not know what version but I assume it was whatever was the latest version as of late April.
2. I rooted the phone using Odin and CF Auto Root.
3. I created a backup of this newly rooted stock rom.
4. I flashed Cyanogenmod 11
5. After a while I discovered that I could answer calls but I could not hear nor be heard during the call.
6. I restored to the stock rom using the backup I made in step 3.
7. The calling issue continued, so I figured I would just unroot and go back to like-new factory settings. This way I could take the phone in to be repaired or whatever.
8. Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392, I attempted to flash k0nane's UVUAMDL Official Tar
9. Odin got stuck connecting to my device, I believe it was because I did not run Odin as admin. I pulled the battery and repeated this step while running Odin as admin.
10. The flash was successful, however during the phone's first boot it got stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen for about 30 minutes or so. I pulled the battery again.
11. Anytime I put the battery back in the phone, it will attempt to boot and hang at the T-Mobile screen, I believe this is a boot loop?
Looking online, people suggest going into recovery and wiping but I cannot enter recovery. I just get the seandroid not enforcing messages. I'm very hesitant to keep looking through the forums and trying things because I feel like I'm on the edge of bricking the phone if I haven't already.
I don't think the flash was successful because it wouldn't give you those messages, and you would need to flash either 4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.2.2 (MDL) Try flashing a newer firmware version.. If it was updated to the newest then I would try 4.4.2

This is where I obtained the rom above that I wasn't sure was the newest.
I flashed this rom and everything worked, thank you both.
Any ideas on what happened with the phone call issue? My friend that gave me the phone said it was working just fine when she had it, so I assume somehow the rooting or CM11 screwed something up? Weirdly, calling through WiFi works just fine.

The only thing that can foul up your phone like that would be a bad cm flash or preflash, it's super important to read and read again, check the thread for support from members and resolutions to problems before you consider the build for your phone. Ask questions and double check everything before you take the plunge.
I assume that the calling problem is fixed, a corrupt modem may cause that and re flashing the modem will correct this.

My friend gave the phone to me. She got an S5 and didn't want to bother with selling this S4 so she just gave it to me. It was completely pure and stock, with calls working. Something screwed up during the CM11 flash I guess.
WiFi calls still work, everything works except calls.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I flashed the sammobile NB4 tar twice via PDA in Odin as usual. For the modem, I flashed the modem bin via Phone in Odin twice. Thank you for your help, by the way.
New term for CM, "complicated maneuver" ,.
Reflashing firmware may do it. Can't hurt either.

I flashed both Fenny's firmware and a baseband he also provided. Did both twice, and calls are still not working.
I was doing some research on this whole "Radio: Unknown" thing and I started seeing threads talking about flashes corrupting the phone's EFS partition. I never made a backup of mine, so I have nothing to restore to. Is it possible that I could use someone else's EFS backup and then use it to restore my phone's EFS partition? Does it work like that?

I never made a backup of mine, so I have nothing to restore to. Is it possible that I could use someone else's EFS backup and then use it to restore my phone's EFS partition? Does it work like that?

No it will not work, this is device specific afaik.. Like I said earlier, I recommend you call T-Mobile for a replacement

Flashing modems and such with a custom rom installed often fails. Did you try doing a restore to full stock using Odin?
It sounds like the phoen has Android 4.4 on it already so you will need to flash the full 4.4 package (can't go back to 4.3 or 4.2)
Try and, boot hte phoen without modifying it, and see if calls work then.
The EFS thing is about the IMEI number. Does your device show an IMEI number in settings? If it does, your EFS isn't the problem. If it doesn't....well then yeah. Problem is pretty much narrowed down.

I have restored the phone to full stock and have been using it that way since I started this thread. Everything is just like fresh from the factory (except for the knox counter being tripped obviously). Calls still didn't work. An IMEI number still shows up the phone's settings. Using WiFi calling hasn't been that bad at all, but I'm screwed in the case of a real emergency with this thing.
Hello Guys,
I've updated my N7100 with the latest official Indian 4.4.2 ROM. I cannot get network connectivity. My device is unlocked, SIM detected, APN set but I have a no connectivity prompt. My IMEI is intact. I searched the forums, and when similar of this happens, the tip is to downgrade to 4.1.2. Well, I cant, i get "Invalid Magic String".
So please help. I have....no phone to say...

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?

In that case you got to find one suiting to your region/carrier.

I'm screwed, there isn't one in kitkat for that, hence the reason I wanted to downgrade.

To downgrade to 4.1.2 you can try using Mobile Odin and a stock 4.1.2 rom.

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.

Thanks. I meant that I tried different modems - it comes with ND3 by default and I've tried flashing NA1, NA3, MK1, MJ5, MJ9, etc. All to no avail. I'm not sure what modem has been used to work with att on 4.3 (i've been out of the USA). If someone knows a reliable modem that they have used with ATT, please let me know.

If I remember right, once on 4.3 you can no longer use the free unlock method. You will have to buy a code online. If you have a T999, you can try flashing the 4.1.1 modem and see if you can do it though. You wont get any signal if you are on a 4.3 rom until you flash back to the 4.3 modem btw.

Thanks bro I'll give it a try, but I'll have to root first before I can flash the 4.1 modem or I can just go straight away and do it through Odin?

You dont need to be rooted, but you do need a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) in order to flash the modem. I never made any odin flashable packages for the modems, only recovery flashable.
Just so you know, flashing a custom recovery will void your warranty if its still valid and you care about that.
Thanks bro, I don't care about warranty.... So all I have to do now is flash a recovery then flash the modem, hmm wonder if anyone has ever got it to work like that before tho.... If it doesn't tho can u recommend a cheap unlocking site please

All I remember for sure is that on 4.1.2, samsung patched against this unlock method, but we were still able to flash the 4.1.1 modem and unlock. In 4.3, you cant use an older modem or youll get no signal, but Im just not sure if you can still use the free unlock method that way.
Ebay had several very cheap options at one point. Also, http://gsmliberty.net has/had(?) a promo where if you posted a video of yourself unlocking using their method they would refund you your money, essentially making it free. Not sure if that is still valid though.

There were several mentions of specific sellers that only charged a few bucks in the unlock thread if you want to dig in to find them.

Any 4.1.1 modem, as long as its one for your model device. If you wanted you could see if flashing a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom would make a difference, but as before, I kinda doubt it will.
When we were updated to 4.1.2, and found that the unlock method was patched, all we had to do was flash an older modem. Didnt matter what build it was from.
agree

i guess this way is ok.
use rom 4,1,1 and the modem for rom 4.1.1, phone should work fine, hope someone can try this way. and tell us the result.
