Updating bootloader and modem - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I am currently on GPE 5.0.1. I noticed that im not on the most up to date bootloader and baseband. I am on m919uvuemk2 bootloader as well as baseband. my pda version is 19505Ggueudnl3. What is the easiest and safestway to update my bootloader as well as baseband. Also this is a tmobile phone, but im on at&t via Straight talk if that makes a difference.

You are one the latest for the T-Mobile S4. They haven't released a 5.0 update. You can't update with bootloader or modem from a different carrier's device.
Sorry, NK2 is the latest firmware. Android 4.4.4.

I'm confused. Nk2 is the latest. But I'm on mk2 so how do I go to nk2?

Do a full firmware flash via Odin. Use the nk2 full firmware. You may need to flash/power off/immediately flash again to get full bootloader and modem update.

The latest Baseband version is M919UVUFOK3, so OK3 is the latest.

I have used CP for modem baseband flashes, AP for roms or recoveries.

(Q) why is my baseband still the same?

I updated through kies and my baseband still says nb4 instead of ne6... Is that correct?

You need to download and Odin flash the official stock N900T NE6 firmware.
Here is the direct fast download link for it:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537528
The above zip file also contains Odin, CF-Autoroot and TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery.
Be sure to go into recovery before Odin flashing NE6 and do a factory data reset
and a full wipe. Then Odin flash cf-autoroot and the TWRP 2.7.0.1.

[how-to] flash modem/baseband from phone

I have the a way to install baseband if you are rooted, custom, or even on cyanogenmod like I was. When i tried to flash the NE6 baseband i could not get it to work for the life of me. I wanted to flash without PC. This is the little guide I came up with and will post links also so it it easier.
1. Download a Stock NF1 Custom rom. Also download Triangle Away, Rashr, Mobile Odin, Stock Kernel and recovery, and the Modem + NON-HLOS for NF1 Thanks @toastido @Chainfire @DsLNeXuS
2. Now flash stock NF1 rom via custom recovery
3. Once on NF1 firmware and NF1 stock kernel you must flash NF1 stock recovery. I did the via Rashr app
4. Now that you are fully (kernel, rom, recovery) stock rooted you can use triangle away to reset your flash counter
5. Boot back up and use mobile odin to flash NF1 baseband and viola! Updated baseband without having to connect to a computer.
IF THIS HELPED DON'T FORGET TO HIT THANKS.
Thnx, but really, I can wait till I'm around a PC. That's quite the process
Thanks man. No problem. I had to do this as I was on cyanogen and didn't have a PC on hamd

You can't just flash the baseband in Odin with any rom?

You still have to do triangle away and all that though. This is more of if you don't own a PC

Great instructions but I just have one question regarding the modems. So which modem zip do I need to extract before flashing with Mobile Odin? The Modem only zip or the Modem NonHlos zip? And if so, in Mobile Odin, which one is Modem #1 and Modem #2?

AT&T I747 Firmware repository

The development for the AT&T I747 has been discontinued by the developer. Thank you for your support.
WARNING: YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE! The possibility is very real. Samsung made it difficult to update the firmware with the introduction of Knox. I have provided the files but I highly suggest you don't use them, its dangerous and seriously you can brick your device. There is always a chance things may go wrong. As always, you take responsibility for what you do with your device, you should know what your getting yourself into. If you don't, STOP! Please do not flash this!
Beware of Dragons, please exercise caution!
These are full firmware updates!
* I did try to safeguard you from bricking your phone.
* The install scripts will fail with an error 7 if your bootloader doesn't pass the assert check.
* If it does fail... you are probably on older firmware and it is not listed in the assert check.
* I suggest you double check your bootloader version and if it is older then the latest Odin update available on http://www.sammobile.com/devices/specs/SGH-I747/ Update to DLK first then just take the OTA's to get updated.
Not sure what firmware version your on? Install Phone Info *Samsung* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo In the firmware list, all bootloader, baseband, pda, should say I747XXXXXX If they all match then its safe to flash the next firmware set. If your on mismatched firmware proceed to flash the set that matches what bootloader your on.
Directions:
*Update the firmware incrementally. NOTE: If your firmware is MJ2 or below, it is safe to flash any previous firmware without fear.
*Flash the zips in a custom recovery like TWRP, maybe even flash the zips twice.
Also when I flashed these I would have been using an older version of TWRP probably 2.7.0.0
*Do a full reboot between firmware updates. If your using Touchwiz roms don't go to far without updating the ROM or it probably won't boot, so before you reboot you should also flash the corresponding ROM. If using CM or something you shouldn't have an issue.

enewman, I had no luck flashing when I was already on I747UCUFNE4. I have a backup that will take me back to 4.1 (I think). I won't be able to use this option from that ROM, because that ROM is not "on MJB bootloaders and modem" which is a must for this solution, correct?

You can't downgrade your bootloader from ne4 or mjb... Any attempt to do so will brick your device.

Just wanted to chime in and say I also confirmed this is working coming from MJB. Flashed via CWM 6.0.4.7 Thanks a ton for the update!
If I am on 4.3 rom, with mjb modem and bootloader, can I flash this in prep to flash the stock odex/root 4.4.2? (and still have data/wifi working on 4.3)?

Yep, but you would need to use KT, Dkp or the leaked mj2 kernel to get WiFi on tw 4.3 roms. Aosp is not an issue.

Ok, so on 4.3 TW you would need a custom kernel for wifi if you are on NE4 firmware, but on 4.4 TW you would need custom kernel for wifi if on MJb firmware. Lame.
I'm cautious since my experience with the mostly stock or custom 4.4.2 has not been stellar.
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------
I'm curious to know if anyone has seen improved performance on the new firmware with the stock odex rom enewman17 posted? As in, would the stock kernel perform smoother than kt ?

baseband is not for 4.3 on sgh-i747

dear all
i have flashed the stock Rom 4.3 after long time of hard bricking now the baseband is I747UCUFNE4
build number is JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB , i think there is some problem i don't know where?
so what shall i do now ?
Looks like you are running a 4.4.2 baseband (NE4) on a 4.3 bootloader (MJB).
Do you have a signal or imei? Confirm your bootloader in terminal or with the Samsung Info app.
The bootloader is :I747UCUFNE4
Yes imei available , but i am wondering why when flash 4.3 via odin baseband Becomes I747UCUFNE4.
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Where did you get the ROM to flash via Odin? Did you use desktop Odin or mobile Odin? I don't think mobile Odin will flash a bootloader or baseband.
I downloaded this
i747ucuemjb 4.3 then reboot into boot loader then via odin it has been flashed
