[Q] Lollipop ---> IMEI null

Ok, A long story:
Whenever I try to flash a lollipop ROM I get an unknown IMEI..
I solve this by flashing a stock 4.4.2 (I get the right IMEI but not registered in network) I solve this by flashing a patched modem and everything is fine..
But when I try to flash a lollipop ROM I still get an unknown IMEI again..
Also, I have efs backup, When I restore efs, Nothing happen.. IMEI is still unknown..
So, I want to try lollipop ROMs (like, ValidusLP ROM for example).. How to solve this problem?? Is there like a patched modem for lillipop??
Thanks in advance for anyone who will try to help.

Try some other lollipop ROM and see if issue solves

Tried both TWRP and Philiz touch recoveries, Both latest versions...
I flash the recovery using ODIN, Then flash the ROM using the recovery.

Exactly the same issue.
1) Was on stock Kit Kat 4.4.2 2 days back. Connected to Kies and got the update for Lollipop.Update the phone in few hours but no IMEI,nothing.
2)Downloaded the latest Stock Lollipop from SamMobile and flashed this using Odin and same issue.
3) Flashed the Kit Kat 4.4.2 and everything is fine with modem restored and IMEI visible.
4) Downloaded using OTA on stock 4..4.2 still same issue and IMEI blanks out.
I am sure there is some problem with this Update and waiting for a stable version.

On another note : Lollipop looks gorgeous though and has a good interface. Want to stick to stock as heavily use Spen features.
Please let me know if there is a modem that could be flashed with Odin to Stock lollipop ROM ? Else will have to go back to Kit Kat.
Thanks

I already went back to 4.4.2

Ok fixed this issue.
Just download the previous ROM for Kitkat for your region model. Extract the Tar file and then what ever is the extracted file again open it using WinRar. Get the modem.bin out of it.
Once you have loaded lollipop: Open Odin again and flash the modem.bin from previous rom using Odin. Got to work for india .
Yey I am on lollipop.

Now all works perfectly!!! Thank you very much!!!

Bricked my S4 SGH-M919 :( Please help?

Hi all,
I've kind of backed myself into a corner here after a bit of "experimenting"
I just purchased an S4 SGH-M919, came with stock 4.2.2 Jellybean.
- Opened it up and rooted it via auto-root + Odin.
No issues.
Then instead of manually flashing a rom, I downloaded a play store app called 'Recovery Tools', and tried to flash TWRP onto the phone.
-Stuck at Samsung screen with blue 'booting recovery...' forever.
I then (stupidly?) tried to flash 4.4.2 onto the phone. *not sure if this is stupid because I read T-Mobile has an unlocked bootloader?
So flashing 4.4 T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Stock Firmware (4.4.2 - M919UVUFNB4) PASSES with odin, but the phone is still 'messed up'.
I can access recovery mode, but the phone will not boot past the 'Samsung' logo, and even after a factory data reset and deleting users.
I've also tried flashing back to 4.2.2, and odin fails.
Please help I can't afford another device and I'm now phoneless. Not sure where to go from here and could really use some direction..

Just adding that I think this happened because I accidentally flashed the most recent version of TWRP which doesn't work on the s4.
At this point I can't get any stock ROM to load.
Any idea folks? Any guidance greatly appreciated here..

You might want to try installing one of the cm or aosp based jflte roms. they seem to load easier. After that you can try another rom if you need to. Make sure you are giving it enough time to boot up the first time after a flash. It can commonly take 10 minutes for a stock touchwiz rom to load first time around. Edit: or just odin the stock nk2 firmware from here and start over. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508

Screen just goes black, IF it gets past 'Samsung' logo, depending on what build I'm flashing. I was once able to get all the way into setup, then the phone completely went black again. Pretty sure it's not a hw issue because the phone was working fine until I started all of this.
Can I just load a jflte rom via Odin? That's about all I'm able to do currently.

At this point I would odin nk2 firmware. after that odin twrp.

Okay Ultra, appreciate your advice - I'll try this now.
To confirm - after flashing nk2, should the phone be able to fully boot? Or will I have to twrp first before I can expect it to fully boot?
Thanks again

It will boot without twrp

Make sure you are using a very good condition usb cable. I've had some serious odin frustrations due to a poor usb cable

That worked. Thanks so much!
Now I've already rooted with cf-auto once again, I shouldn't have any problem loading TWRP now right?

Right. Should be good to go

Stay away from twerp, use CWM it's more reliable and it won't brick phones. Those extras cooked into twrp make it flaky.

Would anyone confirm if to flash via Odin from 4.4.X to 4.2.2 would require the OP to first flash the bootloader from a 4.4.X bootloader to a 4.2.2 bootloader?

Read the first post. He odined 442 to it. You cant go backwards. After that point it is best to just update to the latest complete firmware bootloader and all, just as he did and succeeded.

Everthing over 4.3 has knox bootloader. and prevents downgrading. However i don't know why anyone would want to run 422 these days. The phones run smoothest with the latest nk2. And everyone overreacts about the m919 knox bootloader.

Indeed, however if someone strongly preferred to downgrade from 4.4.2 (M919UVUFNB4) to 4.2.2 (M919UVUAMDL) would they need to first flash the 4.4.2 bootloader with the 4.2.2 bootloader, thereby replacing the 4.4.2 bootloader with the 4.2.2. bootloader, in order to then allow Odin to successfully flash from 4.4.2 (M919UVUFNB4) to 4.2.2 (M919UVUAMDL) - is that correct?

Any way to root new Tmobile sm-p607t 5.1.1 firmware?

I just installed the newest firmware for my sm-p607t, which is android 5.1.1. i have tried all auto root methods like cf auto root,kingroot, etc etc. with no luck. I really need root for half my apps i use need it. Is there any way to get root on this newest firmware? It seems like this tablet has been forgotten about and no one seems interested in it anymore.

Maybe you need a permissive kernel like was needed for note 4 5.1.1 firmware..

No clue, but for the life of me I can't get TWRP to stick. As soon as It boots up it reverts back to stock recovery

Can you try to install twrp by odin first? Then you should be able to flash the root zip file.

twrp seems to be for android 4.4 still for the sm-p607t, also just tried it and it wont work either.

I didn't know there was another way to flash Twrp w/out Odin. , I tried flashing TWRP and it says it's flashes successful but Twrp doesn't stick. I suspect that Twrp does work it just gets over written. This also happens on Nexus with stock rom, although with bootloader you can boot directly into recovery, and flash zip and install rom or block stock recovery from sticking

Deleted.

DISCLAIMER: Try this on tour own risk, I am not responsible for fried tablets. Always backup.
At this time there is no root for the new t-mobile 5.11 firmware.
Also on Europe and Asia the P605 lte model of this tablet had the 5.1.1 update and have the same problem.
With this procedure you will have the updated 5.1.1 bootloader,baseband and the most important, root.
But with a 5.02 custom ROM.
The ROM is a port from the P905, galaxy Note Pro 12.2 lte, with added features and the magazine launcher.
This was my ROM before upgrading to 5.1.1.
After checking out the new stock t-mobile 5.1.1 firmware, honestly I was not impressed.
There are 3 small fixes on the ROM's thread, plus search on xda for the stagefright fix and you will have
a perfectly working full featured ROM.
Thanks to Alan-B, the developer.
Flashed the new P607T 5.1.1 firmware with Odin 3.09.
Boot OK and let it alone for 10 minutes. Reboot twice.
Back to download mode.
Flashed TWRP 2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx-4.4 with Odin.
This version of TWRP works OK, it is slow to
start up, but works.
Read that newer versions are having some issues.
Then flashed the Supersu 2.46 zip with TWRP.
Did 3 factory resets and wipe 3 times dalvik, data, system, and cache.
Then flash the zip of the P605 ver. 0.09 Pyrana ROM from the note 10.1 2014 ed. Development section.
Only Roms for the P605 lte tablet are compatible with the P607T.
For me the stock rom bootloops after flashing
Supersu 2.46 with Odin, so better have ready on
the sd card ver 0.09 of the 5.02 Pyrana custom rom.
Flashed it and my P607T boot up OK.
Ver. 0.11 of this ROM did not boot on my tablet,
even after flashing with Odin the boot.img, provided on the OP,
so stick with ver. 0.09 + the fixes.
So far, TWRP 2.8.6.0 recovery and my P607T working perfectly.

so you have Pyrana rom and root? or you have found this method to gain root to the official p607t firmware? (t-mobile android version 5.1.1) Because im seeking the official stock rom with touchwiz plus root. or if someone who can build a stocky rom + root.

The official P607T 5.1.1 firmware bootloops after
flashing supersu 2.46. Not sure if the reason is TWRP 2.8.6.0 or the supersu 2.46 zip not being
compatible with the 5.1.1 stock rom.
Will be good to try supersu 2.49 beta.
After bootlooping my last resource was going back to TWRP and flash the P605 Pyrana ROM.
Prefer to have updated 5.1.1 baseband and root with the 5.02 Pyrana rom than the full stock 5.1.1 rom without root.

I tried the instructions on Post 144 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...3215876/page15
It works without doing Step 1 (i.e. on the Stock Tmobile ROM)! All credit goes to @bluecat for doing the work and @M3r71n0 for the English translation!

@sandibhatt - This link is not working for me. Were you able to root 5.1.1? If so can you please re-post a valid link or some instructions? Thank you in advance for your help.

SHORT SUMMARY FOR ROOT AND RECOVERY MOD FOR FIRMWARE P605XXU1EOI5
TRIP KNOX - TRIP KNOX - TRIP KNOX
1) Download firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5 (PDA: P605XXU1EOI5 CSC: P605OXAEOI5 CHANGELIST: 5849447 BUILD DATE: 19.09.2015) [Thanks @Rivendel]
2) Download Kernel with ramdisk mod [Thanks @Blue cat and @Chainfire]
3) Download TWRP-2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx [Thanks teamwin-TWRP]
4) Download BETA SuperSU v2.50 [Thanks @Chainfire]
5) Copy “BETA SuperSU v2.50” in SDCard
6) Flash "Firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5" with odin
7) Boot the system/tablet (Probably cannot recognize SIM card/forgets WLAN keys)
8) RE-Flash "Firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5" with odin
9) Boot the system/tablet
10) Flash "Kernel with ramdisk mod"
11) Boot the system/tablet
12) (In Odin with Auto Reboot UNCHECK) Flash TWRP-2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx
13) Run system in Recovery and install zip from SDCard "BETA SuperSU v2.50"
14) Boot the system/tablet
End
For those with Wifi or Data issues just reflash your 5.1.1 rom manually until it gets fixed. (Which is basically what steps 1-9 are for)
In short, if you are already on version 5.1.1 do steps 10~14
Exact Step by step:
1. Get into Download Mode
2. Odin Flash the Kernel
3. Reboot and then turn off
4. Go back into Download Mode and flash TWRP Make sure Auto-Reboot is unchecked and after flashing power down manually.
5. Get into recovery using the Button combo. (Note this may take a minute or two for first install)
6. Either Sideload the Beta SuperSU v2.50 or have it on a mSD card or something and flash inside TWRP.
7. Reboot and Enjoy Root!

Also, If you have updated the sofware from T-Mobile (607T) you don't have to reflash the NEE-P605XXU1EOI5 software.

I have been able to get the 5.1.1 installed, updated kernel, SuperSU Beta, and TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Now I keep getting a Security Notice that "unauthorized actions have been detected". I found a suggestion about opening SuperSU and it should fix it, but nothing has worked so far

@sandibhatt & @HermitDash Thank you for your help here guys! This worked perfectly!

problem with root
This root method worked, but did anyone else have an issue with the wifi not storing passwords after reboot?
Possible solutions: tried to find and clear duplicate entries in the wifi config file in the data folder.. but there was no wifi config file.

i have the same issue wifi passwords not storing after wifi on and off or a reboot

Help downgrading from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4

A few days ago I bought a note 4 with 5.1.1 installed. I followed the guide and unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I have been reading for the past few days since I got the phone and could not find a definite answer. What I really want is 4.4.4 with stock kernel and root.

Go to sammobile and download the firmware you're looking for. Flash in ODIN.
I'm not sure the unlocked bootloader will survive the downgrade and I don't think there's an unlock path for KitKat.

I don't care about having the bootloader unlocked I can always upgrade back to 5.1.1 and unlock it again.
I know when Samsung released the 5.1.1 upgrade that it broke the 4.4.4 downgrade path. I don't want to get stuck bricked on 4.4.4

4.4.4 flash odin did not work
i attempted to load 4.4.4 in odin and I got sw rev check fail aboot fused 2 binary 1 is there any other way to install stock 4.4.4 firmware

Just curious, why would you want to go back to 4.4.4?

4.4.4 downgrade
I really just prefer 4.4.4 xposed works perfectly and it runs so smooth. Hotspot is also easy to get working.

You can't downgrade. Tried that many times, but always failed.

* G928VVRU3CQB9 * Full Odin Nougat 7.0 Firmware *

Hello!
Here is the full G928VVRU3CQB9 Odin manual update to 7.0 Nougat for everyone to enjoy.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862724121
If for whatever reason you want to downgrade or don't like 7.0, you can safely downgrade back to 6.0.1 without any issues using the firmware link below. After you flash a lower android version using Odin, phone might get stuck on Verizon logo. If that happens, all you need to do is boot into recovery and do a factory wipe/reset and phone will boot right up after that.
G928VVRS3BPI1 (6.0.1) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862682275

Can u please add latest bootloader and modem for 928c?
