Slimkat bricked my modem. How do I get it working again? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Slimkat has bricked my modem. When I installed it wifi would not connect to my router, so I did some searching and found a thread on another forum where someone had a similar problem (wifi not reconnecting when going out of range and then back in range). He flashed a modem update, so I found the thread with the modem updates and installed the one for my baseband: I747UCUEMJB. After doing this, I reinstalled slimkat fully (wiping everything) and now the wifi connects, but it does not work, neither does the LTE (even though it says it has a strong signal). the signals are strong on both, but data transfer seems non existent. So, I tried flashing the modem prior to that, still did not work. I tried reflashing dirty unicorns and it still does not work (with the I747UCUEMJB modem or prior). So now my phone is basically useless and I don't know what to do. Anyone have any ideas?

I managed to figure out how to get back to NE4, so my LTE and wifi work now, I just gotta remember how to re-root and reinstall CWM 6.0.4.7. I'm going to try towelroot. If you happen to have a link to CWM 6.0.4.7 bookmarked I'd appreciate if you could post it.. although I am searching right now for it. (edit: nevermind, rom manager installed it.. that was easy(TM))

Use Odin to flash the latest Philz d2lte from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Copy supersu to your SD card.
Flash recovery, boot to recovery, flash supersu, and you are not rooted.

so i wanted to try new Modem, just so i can increase my Signal, and right now, my data plan is keep going on and off, and most the time i can't get it connected it.
i did the wipe date /factory reset from the ROM manager, and wipe cache and dalvik. and yet the problem is not solved.

Did you use ODIN to flash the stock ROM and factory reset in stock recovery ?

Yes! i think i did a mistake. While i restored to the stock rom, The baseband that i was using it was I747MVLDLK4 and not the STOCK modem. So maybe that is why its not getting connected? am trying to apply the stock modem into the the stock rom, but its giving me Fail error.
am just scratching my head right now to be quite honest and this close to throw my cellphone outside of the balcony.

What type of fail error?
How are you trying to flash it?
i managed to make my modem into the stock version. However am just getting "E" in my data connection. Reminder am still in STOCK ROM and stock modem now. is that a good sign that i slighty getting everything back??
should i just install the CM 10.1 now and see the results or what you guys recommend?
annnnnnnnnd my " E" is gone.. Beautiful
do you guys think it might be a actual physical sim card issue?
UPDATE: i restored my phone into the stock rom by Odin3 and now i just re flashed the Cm 10.1 again. sadly i still have no connection and my income and outcome for calling and texts is also not working.
please help!
Try flashing Task's AOKP and see if you have the same issue. Additionally, try deleting the current APNs (access point names) and manually enter the APN settings for your carrier. Could also just be a faulty SIM card as you mentioned.

[Q] Unable to Locate Mobile Network Custom ROM

Hi all, I was flashing a Infamous Google Edition ROM and everything was okay until my phone booted up. My carrier is WIND and I have the SGH-M919V, and every time I locked/unlocked my phone I wouldn't have a signal. I would have to search for my network every time I unlocked my phone, which was really irritating. I tried three other Google Play Edition ROMS, and they all wouldn't let me get a signal. This is strange because I have previously flashed the INFAMOUS S4 ROM with no problems whatsoever. I am currently on Android 4.3 stock rom.
My question to you guys is this: How do I fix the no signal problem so I can get a custom rom again?
Rooted with CF-Auto-Rooter, and used Philz Touch 5 if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

Sigh... What bootloader are you on? KNOX or non-KNOX? If you are on non-KNOX, you need to Odin flash the 4.3 modem that is all over the forums. If you're on KNOX bootloader, check your APN settings. Hope that helps. :good:

Did you find the problem? I'm having a similar issue, but not quite sure where to find this "4.3 modem". I've read references to the mk2 modem but so far it hasn't helped me.
My issues are on Hyperdrove or Darthstalker roms, my network (wind) won't stay connected if I turn the screen off. But on any AOSP rom my network connection is solid.
Also, on this mk2 rom my connection is fine: https://sites.google.com/site/dannyben777/home
I'm just wondering how I can get my WIND network connection to work on the hyperdrive rom =\
This is what I did:
I was trying to get Infamous S4 Google Edition (which is 4.4) when I was on 4.2.2. I tried to install it, but apparently it wouldn't install properly (forget the details). I tried going back to 4.2.2 to try it again, but strangely enough it boot-locked at the SAMSUNG screen. I upgraded to 4.3 and everything worked, so I tried the Infamous ROM again the next day, and it worked
Strangely enough, every time I try to charge my phone when it's powered off it boots back up again, and says something about a kernel (forget, kind of lazy to check).
Hope this kind of helps!

[Q] Problem with Signal/Service - weak Signal, breakdowns

my device now: i9195, I9195XXUCNE6-DBT
I experience weak signal and many connection dropdowns. When this occured first, after i upgraded f4ktion Kernel 1.3.6 to 1.4.5 and
an older version of Carbon Rom (4.2.2) to 4.3 Carbon Rom. Until than everything was fine, flash of rom and kernel did not made any problem.
Btw i used Odin3 3.09 and clean install (step by step like in the guides) all the time.
After some days this realy annoyed me, so i went back to the older Carbon and kernel - problem still occurs.
So i went back to stock rom I9195XXUBML4-DBT (original was UBML4) - problem still existing.
Some time later f4ktion 1.5 and Carbon 4.4.4 was available, so i tried this..still no solution.
Now i am back to stock and updated to I9195XXUCNE6-DBT, same problem.
Some research told me many ne stuff to know..like flashing modem only. I tried some, nothing helped.
After hours of pointless googleing i noticed something on my phone.When i dont type the pin, i have normal signal. As soon as i type the pin
and "activate" my simcard, the signal strength drops. So i googled again and found this:
[Bug Watch] Android 4.3 Radio Bugs Causing Cell Connection Drops On Some Nexus 4 Handsets, Fixes In Sight (not allowed to post links)
I changed the network type to WCDMA only - it helped for some minutes(not many..maybe 2-3). I changed to GSM only and i had normal,
stable signal for like an hour. But later signal loses strenght again, and i need to change network type again.
I have the feeling, that its like a reset or restart of the radio.
But now i am all out of ideas and need some help.
Last thing i can do, is to bring it to repair. But my Knox says 0x1, so maybe you can help me before i ask Samsung.
I have similar problem since ugrading to KitKat roms. I had no problems with previous none Knox roms with MH3 modem but now with NE6 and NF7 KK modems the signal swings constantly up and down from 4 to 1 bars. This is in areas I previously had good signal. Internet also keeps dropping out requiring data toggling on and off. I've reflashed KK 20+ times and haven't been able to get rid of this problem yet.
I'm not sure if pre knox modems are installable but I intend to try and reflash MH3 modem, once I manage to do a successful backup.
I solved a similar problem by downgrade to 4.2.2 Brazil NE2, knox 2. Flashing separate modem (NE2), and reflashing full rom again. No problems for now
Now you stay on 4.2.2 ?
I dont understand why some people do have problems and some not. Is there different hardware version causing the trouble ?
Give me pls some information how you did the downgrade.
-Nandroid Backup
-philz
-Odin (if yes which version)
-why did you choose that rom
I tried to, but wasnt succesfull. I used Odin3 3.09 to flash 4.2.2 (UAMF5 i think) rom and got a brick. When trying to fix this nothing helped until i tried to flash with Odin3 3.04. But all i could do was flashing newest FW again. Did not test more after that, because i was very busy.
If you say that going back solved your problem, i will try again go go back myself. I've found some information on that and when its done i give some informations.
Same here, help?
I'm having the same problem with a newly acquired handset. I have full signal on some places and nothing on others, unfortunately in my house I have no signal! So it's quite exasperating.
My baseband version is I9195XXUCNE6
Android version is 5.0.2 with 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g92aec50 [email protected] #1 kernel
Cyanogenmod version is 12-20150306-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx
Would it help if I flash a separate modem file through Odin? In that case, which one should I flash?
Any help would be appreciated a lot.
Thanks

[Q] Help with modem

Hello, I used to own a GS3 and had it rooted and everything just fine, but I sold it when I broke the screen. I recently purchased a used one off Ebay and want to get back root and custom ROM. The seller had the firmware updated to 4.4.2 stock and of course it is bloated to hell. I managed to get the root installed, however I flashed a new rom and modem and now have no network connection. I have tried modems LK3, MJ2, and MJB and none have worked. Also, somewhere down the line I managed to break the wifi, as when I try to turn on wifi it instantly switches off.
I remember it being very easy to root back when the device first came out, I was on a Galaxy Nexus previously and everything. Another thing to note, once I got the root installed I made a backup in cwm and even restoring this backup I have broken modem and wifi. How ****ed is my phone?
EDIT: I managed to find the elusive NE4 modem that was not in the "all modems" thread. This fixed my issue. Feel free to close thread mods
Closed at OP request.

[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.
