modem T999VVLUFNH2
Hi everybody,
I try to find the updated modem for my S3 (videotron SGH-T999v)
I have the modem T999VVLUFNF1 (ROM LS 3.1 stable KK 4.4.4, KT747 kernel)
When I unzip the official ROM of samsung (older like 4.1.2 and the last samsung update from september 2014) , I only find the file NON-HLOS.bin
According to sammobile the last videotron modem is T999VVLUFNH2, but I cannot find the file. This is the first time I try to update the modem because I have a poor reception in my house.
Thank you for your help
I haven't decided if I will post those or not. Too great a risk with the 4.4.2 modems. If you want to try the latest I can only recommend fully updating as a safe way to do so.
If you really want to be the one to test if it's safe, I'll get it uploaded for you, but understand there is a chance it could hard brick the phone beyond repair.
Reason for all of this is because we know if you flash a 4.4.2 modem on 4.3 it'll permanently brick it. I have no idea if flashing an older or newer 4.4.2 modem on 4.4.2 firmware (like you want to do) will result in the same. Normally, I would guess it wouldn't be the case, but it seems a lot has changed in these new builds that no one understands, and there have already been too many bricks for me to be comfortable trying something new like this without exercising great caution.

Thank you for your reply and your advise.
As I don't have enought money to take the risk, I will keep my actual modem.
Thank again
Don't blame you a bit! But don't forget, you can still fully update and that may help. (From what I've seen, flashing older modems on 4.4.2 doesn't brick, so i think if you updated, it should be ok to flash the NF1 modem if the newer one doesn't help. It might not work, but I don't think it would cause any harm. Just food for thought, but again, I can't guarantee anything with these latest modems...)
If it's a bad signal issue that you did not have before, call your carrier and ask if there are any tower/network/account issues they are aware of.
Your carrier probably doesn't do this, but Tmobile will sometimes give customers a signal booster for home use only. You can buy them online too, but I'm not sure how my h they are these days. (Just make sure it boosts the frequencies used by your carrier if you look into this.)

Just noticed today that my phone is on T999VVLUFNF1 but that there is a newer 4.4.2 release for the T999V phone that is T99VVLUFNH2. Would it be good to update via Odin to this? Is it just a newer modem?
I have a T mobile T999 that is currently flashed with CyanogenMod 11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-d2lte which is kitkat 4.4.4. The baseband version is T999UVDMD5. I have a Lebara sim card in it now, and I'm in France. I'm not getting any signal and I suspect it is because the baseband version mismatch. Is there anything I can do to make this setup work or do I have to downgrade to a different version of CM? Is there and updated modem I can flash on this device or any way to make it work?

Latest baseband is NC2, flash it, and if the device still does not pick up service flash back to MD5 firmware and see if it will pick it up. If not then it might incompatible with your provider..
Thanks!!!! Also Those using T999 switched to ATT
Just wanted to say thank you!!!
Also just wanted to say for those who have a T999 that switched to AT&T this works (I wasn't sure if this would work since it didn't say anything about AT&T working with it. To be perfectly honest I didn't read everything but again THANKS!!!!!!
Hi Guys,
I got the OTA update ( T999UVUENC2 ) about a month back and since then, my Wifi has stopped working. It stays greyed out when I try to turn it on. Just won't turn on.
The logcat says that the "WiFi driver is unstable".
What I have tried so far (with no success):
1) Flash the same build again (T999UVUENC2).
2) Flash the root666_T999UVUENC2 build. (Currently, I am on this)
3) Flash Cyanogenmod 11.
4) Factory reset.
5) Pull the battery out when the phone is on and put it back again.
6) Modify/delete the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
Can someone please give any directions on how the "Wifi driver can be fixed"? I understand from going through the forums that downgrading from 4.3 to 4.2 can cause a brick. However, can I downgrade to the previous T-Mobile 4.3 build (T999UVUEMJC ) without causing a brick? Do you guys think that can help fix the Wifi?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Could you point me to what one exactly i need for T999LUVUBNF4
SGH-T999L Will Not Mount Ext Sd/No root or load file from .zip to root
I always get stuck at the boot screen where I am supposed to Update from Zip, but my phone NEVER lets me Mount the External SD card, I have a 64GB card, failed, 16 GB card, failed, what am I missing. All the good tutorials, ESPECIALLY yours, get me to that point but being unable to load that .zip file from sd just murders me. The Phone is on 4.3 and I believe I loaded your stock 4.3 firmware after failing to get this part done and then trying every single rom possible (didn't realize this had murdered me) until I managed to get back to this stock rom. Why does it not want to load from ext sd? Is it the file system? I've never had any issues with any of these sd cards, and they aren't generic cards, one is a samsung other a sandisk,

For no valid reasons AT&T Galaxy S3 stock ROM I747UCDLK3 has been nowhere to be found for download.
Both links from Sammobile and Samsung-updates only says "This file is either removed due to copyright claim or is deleted by the uploader"
There must be something fishy goin on right here, they don't even released the full stock of recent UCDMG2 update. This is the first time I heard somebody filed copyright infringement of those stock firmware? Why the heck it's only the UCDLK3 and not all other older stock versions like LEM and LG1. So watch out AT&T subscribers!
Its still up in the development forum if needed.
It can still be flashed from the official KIES software.

I think the thing is not that can't find file, but that he noticed that specific file is target for ©/unloaded.

I think it's more because of the boot loader update... Just to avoid idiots bricking their phones flashing software with odin. It was removed for avoidance of disaster...

But why take down the stock firmware? I just needed it to fix auro rotation in one of my kids s3. I found it with help from an op anyway and it did the trick. I just remember 4.1.1 and earlier were simple to unlock. 4.1.2 done away with that method. 4.1.2 is still available for download also. I elieve 4.0.4 is too though, so my theory has some holes in it if it is. Whats tough is finding US stock firmware for sgh-i497. I flashed umama1 or umama2 and lost my wifi for a day. Found 1 rom finally and fixed it with 4.0.4. Need to find or make a JB rom for it after it gets repaired y Samsung. LCD went bad Gotta update N S3 to kk soon also... I never like flashing a new bootloader and knox bugs me 8n the new version.

You were right about the bootloader, but wrong with the reason. Its identical to the S4 bootloader aside from the S4 having a critical value of '1' in this code somewhere... Thing us though, that the LK3 bootloader could remain intact and signed, therefore flashed and accepted by the S4 as an update... That us IF it turns out to be truly identical lol. I got a lotta code to read over. Caffeine time.

I am VERY new to all of this. I had a Windows 640, which I hated. And got this S3, I love everything except the os. (Previous device Sprint S4 w/lollipop). Anyway, I have the 4.1.1 os. Its rooted to Metro (was AT&T). But I want to upgrade the os to slimkat 9.0. I just don't have a clue what I need or how to do it. And can it be done w/o pc? As a note (included r screenshots). I have supersu, it has a feature to "full root", do I want to mess with that? If so, what are the benefits. I don't want to brick this and want to learn how.

Before doing anything else, I would recommend doing the free sim (carrier) unlock while you are still on 4.1.1. This will give you more options in the future. The method can be found in these forums.
If you were on AT&T I would say there is a chance you could take OTA updates to get to a bootloader that would work with SlimKat 9.0. I don't imagine you can do this.
Just noticed you have TWRP. Which version do you have? you will need a fairly new version to flash SlimKat 9.0 and a newer bootloader and modem, check HERE for both .tar and .img files.
You will probably be able to run slimKat from the MJB bootloader and modem (from the 4.3 rom). You could even do so with the MJ2 bootloader and modem, but you would need a custom kernel such as ktoonsez to do so. If MJB does not work well for you NE4 definitely would, it is from the 4.4.2 release.
Thank you for your response. After posting, I did a root check and found that the phone had only been partially rooted. I downloaded the apk root master. From there I had already downloaded the slimkat 7.0, I was mildly impressed, and now desperate as this is my only working device. Plus, I was terrified I was about to brick it. Anyway, I found LiquidSmooth KitKat os. 4.4.4, downloaded it plus gapps. Everything seems great! Still don't get the connectivity Metro shows for my area, but no bad. But I do have an issue with the front camera. When you take a pic, the phone reboots. The gapps came with Google camera. Tried the camera 360...exact same issue. Not that big a deal. I know have far more flexibility with my service provider in the settings.
So, thanks again for the info. I still have a SCH-720T I wanna do a sim unlock. Between Sprint,Knox and lollipop. Everything I've read says I've got my work cut out !

I have seen reports that Open Camera solves some of the camera issues on AOSP/CM roms.
I am beginning to have some problems with liquid smooth. I would still like the slimkat 9.0. I have twrp v 2.8.0.1, and recently downloaded the tar and img. I believe the modem I have is 4.1, I'm not sure as I just downloaded the liquid smooth KitKat 4.4.4. I'm still new to ALL of this. So I don't know how to get the most appropriate bootloader or kernal you mentioned. Is the slimkat 9.0 better? My connection really sucks now and so does batt life. SOS!!!!

Are you having phone connectivity issues or data connectivity issues? If it is phone connection you may need a newer modem.
Before changing modems, have you checked that your APN settings are correct? You may need to verify this with Metro.
Since you said you tried to install the MJB modem but received an error, I guess we need to try to eliminate that problem. Did you try to install only the modem or both modem and bootloader? I would recommend installing the MJB baseband (=Modem) and bootloader together. Once you get past MJB version you must keep the bootloader and baseband matched, so we may as well start that practice now. Is it possible you had a bad download of MJB? Re-downloading may solve the problem.
Do not skip MJB and go to NE4 or NJ1, both newer versions of the modem and bootloader. All I have read indicates that you should update in order without skipping or risk bricking the device.
Your version of TWRP is recent enough that it should work with the files you need. (TWRP is now up to 2.8.7.0 for the d2att.)
I have data issues. I've located 2 sources to download the modem/bootloader you mentioned. The first is out of Quebec and has a bad signature. My device also skips md5 , not sure about the issue there. And the other source has too much red tape before I can get to the down load. I have the correct network settings. But I should have excellent 4g. I don't and I believe there is a conflict with the baseband/modem and the 4.4.4 liquidsmooth os.
And thanks a ton for all the help you have given!

Should I undo the changes? And start over building from the original 4.1.1? If so, how would I undo these? Then just link me the the appropriate thread to do this correctly. Again, you have been a great asset. Thank you.

Frequently data issues are a matter of bad APN settings. Have you checked to see if yours are correct?
This thread by enewman17 discusses upgrading modem and bootloader starting at DLK3. He has links to bootloader and modem files. There should be no issues with signed files.

That has information that may be the key to solving your issues.
I am extrapolating from much reading about people using the MJB, android 4.3, bootloader and modem on KitKat ROMs. The ROMs I read about were TouchWiz based, but the info may still apply. (MJ2 was the leaked release of MJB. The only difference I recall is that MJ2 did not include KNOX, and you can downgrade from it.)
People were having issues running the KK roms from both the MJ2 and MJB bootloader and modem while using the kernel that came with the custom TouchWiz ROMs. Their issues were solved by changing to one of two specific kernels. ibuddler developed one of the kernels, links to it can be found in the OP of LikeWise ROM. The other kernel was by ktoonsez, I don't have a link to his thread. You can not use a kernel for a TouchWiz ROM with an AOSP based ROM. Fortunately ktoonsez also has a kernel for AOSP roms.
Full disclosure, earlier Kitkat ROMs ran fine on MJ2 and MJB, it was later builds that needed either updated firmware or the custom kernels.
I found the kt747 zip and tried v3&v4 of ibuddler. Tried to reboot and each would not boot( over 10 min). But I was able to find this ad so far(fingers crossed) it seems to work just fine. I does switch from 4g to 3 when it is at idle.
3.4.101 leankernel-aosp_kitkat-9.9-+
lk_s3aosp_kitkat-v9.9.zip
I'm still trying it out,but so far so good. I'm still having issues getting an update for twrp. Speaking of updates. Liquidsmooth updated this morning. It updated the kernel and it was way wrong for my os.
Thank you so much for your patience with me in this journey into something I had no clue of. I still would like to update my bootloader and modem to NE4. But I want to wait before I screw something up. Do some more research as I am unable to use odin.

My phone is unlocked and using a MetroPCS sim card, so I couldn't get the OTA update, even on Wifi. After following the instructions at [Download][Install] 4.3 OTA Update, I no longer have data connection on the phone unless I use wifi.
From what I've read, this usually happens because a modem wasn't flashed, but I assumed that the 4.3 update in that thread had a modem. Even so, I entered stock recovery and flashed the modem from the hidden part of Loserskater's post here. But I still have no data.
Does anyone have any ideas what went wrong or what I can do next? I don't mind rooting if that's what I have to do (I plan on it anyway, but didn't know if I should work on getting data first).
Thanks

it could be that, you mixed a leaked modem with a different build thus messing with the final official build or update that ATT released last week
wipe everything if thats possible then download the 4.3 firmware from this link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291680243 and since you are on stock just download it using odin (use this link if you have no idea of how to use odin) http://droidow.com/galaxy-s3-i747-update-with-ucuemj2-android-4-3-leaked/ but on the PDA part use the file you download from the link above (update43.zip) and that will fix your problems
this may or may not work, i have not tested as i have not updated to 4.3 am waiting for devs to update their roms to 4.3 and then i can go with 4.3/rooting
follow instructions carefully since 4.3 for the S3 is like a virus, this update just leads to HARD BRICKS but dont worry just do everything right and things will be fine
hope you have i747 = ATT not i747m = CANADIANS variants

After hunting through all the settings options, I found that I had nothing in the Access Point Names menu under Mobile Networks. I think because I updated with a Metro-PCS sim card in the phone, rather than an ATT one, for whatever reason I didn't get any APN settings.
So after hunting down T-Mobile's and writing them in, I now have Data. Phew!

What bootloader did you install?
What modem/baseband/radio is on your device?
What method did you use to try to install the bootloader?
Is your phone still showing the correct IMEI in settings or 0 ? (Compare between that shown in settings and under the battery.)
It may be as simple as updating your modem, but I/we can't tell yet.

I'm new at this, in fact I have flashed by old Captivate several times but yet to flash my SGS3. Anyhow, I have spent many hours reading. Before doing anything I suggest, read, and read some more.
Don't flash back to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 at this point. They will install an older bootloader than is currently on your phone. From what I have read, you narrowly escaped bricking your phone. You might want to read some of the threads regarding the 4.3 stock ROM and unbricking before making any changes in restoring your device.
You can probably fix this by flashing the modem that goes with the 4.3 series ROMs. It would also be the MJB flavor, although the MJ2 would probably work. Several of the 4.3 TouchWiz ROMs in the development forum have download links for the MJB modem. I would guess you were probably going to install one of them. I would recommend flashing the modem to see if that solves your issues before going ahead with the ROM flash.

The reason I didn't put a link in the previous posts was to get you to read about what you were doing as you searched for the modem. I am offering advice on things I have yet to experience on this device and only speaking second hand. My advice is only based on what I have read not on anything I have had to correct myself.
In truth I think you just stopped too soon in the process of what you were doing earlier. You said you installed the 4.3 bootloader in preparation to installing a 4.3 or later ROM that required the up to date bootloader. You didn't mention installing the current modem/baseband. You didn't mention trying to flash whatever ROM you had been considering.
You may be able to correct your device simply by installing the 4.3 modem. HERE is the modem thread, it is in the General Forum for our device. Make sure you pick the correct one. I don't know if your device will work well on the MJB bootloader and modem with a 4.1.1 ROM, from something I seem to recall reading I suspect it will.
Take this in steps. Install the correct modem, the one that matches your bootloader. See if that corrects you sim, data, and IMEI problems. If it does correct the issues, the next step is to decide if you want to stay on the 4.1.1 ROM or change to whatever ROM you had been considering. If you decide to change, make backups first. If it doesn't fix the problem while on 4.1.1 you may want to flash the version of the official 4.3 ROM enewman17 has provided on the development thread.
Take it one step at a time. Read about what you are about to do until you understand it well, all before doing anything. Make backups sequentially as you make each corrective step.
HTH.

thanks man for telling me what was wrong your an amazing human being and i love you (no homo) and thanks again a million thanks bro.
Did that modem fix some of the problems?
If your on 4.1.1 shouldn't you flash the DKL3 version or can't you just flash thru Odin the DLK3 stock ROM thru Odin Amd start all over again
I've been on 4.3 with that bootloader Amd have flashed back to 4.1 back to the baseband version DLK3 firmware. I would think being on 4.1 you should be able to reflash using Odin to fix the issue or flash the modem for 4.1 .
I flashed the Root66 KitKat update for Wind Mobile using Odin. As I was looking through the settings I noticed there were no APNs set. I googled for Wind's APN configuration and manually entered them (before I even tested data, perhaps it was working regardless).
So far I've seen a number of mentions warning against flashing the 4.4.2 modem before flashing the 4.4.2 firmware update. However, I've yet to see the modem posted anywhere. The most recent one in the baseband thread was for 4.3. What am I missing?
Normally 4.3 modem will be working for 4.4 too but you should not have older modem then 4.3

It hasn't been posted for that same reason, so nobody will attempt to flash.. Anyone can make a flashable zip for the modem, that it why we are letting people know what happens when you try to flash on older firmware

Ill still post the modems in the near future, but wanted to first get that warning out so as many people as possible already know about it when I do. Flashing the 4 4.2 modem on 4.3 firmware has bricked quite a few devices in the Spirit and AT&T forums already. And despite all our efforts, we have yet to get the debrick method to work
That said, if you have a need for the modem, ill get it for you as soon as I can.
And just fyi, after updating to 4.4.2, you cannot use any older modems. They won't brick the device, but you won't have a working radio/signal.

Heya Doc
I have a Gs3 T999v from Videotron and have been running the 4.3 modem since early this year. I'm currently running CM11 4.4.4.
I was wondering if it would be possible to provide a link for their 4.4.2 modem so I can give it a shot. I know I won't be able to come back from it, but reception with the 4.3 has not been that hot and I've been meaning to get those kinks out. Also since the phone is nearing the end of it's life, at least to me, I don't mind the extra risk. Even if it should technically be entirely safe to do so since i'm running 4.4.2+
Cheers!
I am not very much familiar with all intricacies of Android system but i have played around rooting and putting customer firmwares on few devices.
I have AT&T Galaxy S3 with following detals:
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Version: 4.3
I had the device rooted in the past but recently un-rooted it and reset the flash counter as well and did factory reset. Did all that since i wanted to use ISIS and couldn't make it work on a rooted S3. Seems it used to work before till they updated ISIS app to patch it.
Now AT&T got 4.4 update and my phone detects it, downloads it but while installing fails at 32%. I have seen many threads where people faced similar issues due to their phones being rooted. Seems something on my phone didn't reset to default.
I found one post which mentions that i can download UCUEMJB_to_UCUFNE4_Firmware_update.zip and load it to phone using TWRP. As i understand, this will update the baseband but android version still remains at 4.3 (?). Is that the path i should be looking for or i am shooting in wrong direction? I want to stay on default firmware since i like to use ISIS till they keep running those cashback promos
Would appreciate some feedback.
Download MJB firmware (thread in General) and flash with Odin. You can stop there or try the ota again.

Thanks for the reply.
Just to confirm so that i don't mess up, i will apply the following(is modem same as firmware?) and then try OTA.
I747UCUEMJB: modem_CWM_I747UCUEMJB.zip
No. The modem is only one part of the firmware. Firmware includes bootloaders, kernel, system, modem and more.
