I was trying to install the Quantum Rom on my ATT Samsung Galaxy S3.
It failed a few times until someone posted that I need to update my bootloader to I747UCUEMJB. I was able to install the ROM after the update but now my phone won't recognize the SIM card that's worked flawlessly till I performed the bootloader update.
Is my phone done for good or is there something I can do here? Please help!!
Did you flash a compatible or updated modem?

Sorry not really sure what that means. Also, just went in to my settings and under Baseband version I am seeing Unknown.
I checked the size of the bootloader I downloaded and it's only at 1.1 mbs and I just found the same bootloader online but at 623 mbs. I am assuming the bootloader I installed might be corrupt/fake?
I am downloading the larger file now and am going to try and install that too see if that helps?
There is no way the bootloader would be 623 MB.

Yeah figured as much, especially after looking at the contents of the file, I decided not to use it.
Thanks for the link. Just downloaded modem_CWM_I747UCUEMJB.zip and I have my network signal back up now. I am hoping this means I am good. Will let you know soon. Thanks!!!

Your baseband/modem is indeed corrupt. Before downloading or flashing ROMs please research thoroughly to be sure you know what you are doing and understand the difference between all the different files. The file you saw at 623mb is most likely the system or ROM file itself. The bootloader file itself is a much smaller file - consistent with a 1MB+ download. If you succeed with the file you are trying to download, you most probably would be updating your ROM although I'd be very doubtful if it would work. I'm not too certain but the 623MB file looks like the 4.3 update zip which usually works only when you are doing a manual update from an earlier ROM especially the immediate predecessor 4.1.2.
To correct your modem, I would suggest you try downloading and flashing the 4.3 modem file.
You may also need to install custom recovery (e.g. TWRP or CWM) for an easier installation. I presume warranty is no longer an issue with your phone in view of the firmware history.
Edit;
Just saw the last post from Audit after sending mine. Glad to know all is OK now.

I completely understand what you're saying. Truth is I don't enough about all this to do what I did. Lesson learned for sure!
So. I was able to install the Modern bootloader and have my LTE signal back up and confirmed things are working given someone already called me and the call came through fine.
Now, the last thing I need to figure out is how to get WIFI to work. It's connecting to my router and has gone through authentication and has saved my network on the list of WIFI spots but I can't seem to connect and start downloading apps without eating my data.
Never mind, finally got wifi to work. Thanks again!!
Are you using any sort of encryption on your wifi network (i.e. WPA, WPA2, etc.)? Can it connect if you disable encryption?
Does anyone have a stock firmware of their S6 Edge T-Moible? that's ODIN flashable. I bricked my S6 trying to root it and had the KNOX security on. Now it just boot loop. :crying:

That doesn't fix issues for those of us that need to have the full stock firmware to re-Odin with. Guess those of us in the same boat wait a week or so. My problem was removing the knox files with root explorer. Bad move. Makes the phone unbootable. Called Samsung tech support and they confirmed that. Rooting no problem. Recovery screen totally blank. Never get to see the the white/green screen some say they have for a recovery screen. The magic use volume up keys 7 times etc I have seen posted don't work for me. Samsung specifically told me the stock firmware is proprietary, so they wouldn't give it to me. I can wait a week or so for developers to get their hands on appropriate files, including a custom recovery that actually works...like good old TWRP :victory:

have you tried to flash the S6 file? not the S6 edge but the S6. Try to get yourself in download mode and do that. Make sure you are using the correct odin. That is what happened to me and I was able to obtain ROOT.
If you can get into download mode, you can now use Kies to install the stock firmware. Just did it about 3 mins ago.

Where did you get the stock firmware. I'm not talking rooting file. I'm talking the full on tar to use to ODIN and flash the complete full stock firmware.

I used Kies to restore the Firmware. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the Firmware file on my computer (Or could not figure out how to use it). I did see a temp file that was the correct size, but it's name and extension were wrong. I tried to open the file using 7-Zip and WinRar, but neither would open it. At that point, I just allowed Kies to do it's job, and it worked well. Removed ROOT and am now running Stock Firmware and Stock Recovery. KNOX is still tripped, but I don't care at this point.
In Kies, use the option: "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". You will need your Model Name and Serial Number. Found on the box or in Settings if you can get there. I've got a T-Mobile Edge, so my Model Name is SM-G925T. Your serial will be unique.

I deleted via root explorer a slew of knox fies. Samsung told me by doing this, it renders the phone non bootable. That is why I need a full stock firmware tar file I can use in Odin, to flash the original complete firmware for my 925 Edge.Removing root, re-rooting, will not help. Chainfire said that SamMobile rleased the firmware files but all I get is web page not available. Grrrrr. Really wish someone would post the file in the Development sections or at least provide a working link.

I had also removed all of the KNOX files, and most of the Samsung Files trying to get close to AOSP, but it became unstable. Kies re-installed the COMPLETE firmware again and all the stock files returned. I don't mean it removed ROOT only, it flashed the complete firmware. Kies uses ODIN internally to do the flash.

Well, someone (Pagel) already posted the 920 stock tar file in the S6 thread. so there MUST be a source currently. Wish I knew why Sammobile web site returns errors for me about unable to open web page. That's the source most state is where to go.

Okay I was able to find a workaround on how to restore my phone through Kies without getting an error.
do the following: 1) open Kies, click on tools, Firmware upgrade and initialisation, enter your model number and serial number and let it download the firmware, after an hour or so depending on your connection speed the firmware will be downloaded and your phone will reboot into recovery to install the firmware. done

That's exactly what I was saying to do a few posts back. Did it yesterday and it worked fine.
EDIT: I'm going to run through it again and see if I can find the downloaded file. I believe I found it last time, but it was not a TAR file, rather a temp file specific to MY phone. But I'll try again, and if I get it, will post it here.

No problem, as long as we all get there at some point. The temp file that Kies downloads is called tmpE635.tmp It ends up being about 1.6GB in size. I tried to open it using 7-Zip and WinRar, but neither will open it. I'll post it in case anyone wants to try using it in ODIN. I don't know if it is specific to MY phone, or the T-Mobile S6 Edge in general (SM-G295T).
But, honestly, I would suggest you use Kies yourself so you are positive to get the correct file. You WILL get the error message that says Kies does not support your phone, just ignore that and keep going.
Phone Serial Number
I just realized that the Serial Number Kies is asking for is not on my Box. It's in the settings/about/status menu, and also on a sticker that is stuck to the Plastic Wrap that was around the phone in the box. Looks sort of like this: R58G31D1PBA. So, if you cannot get into your settings, or don't have that plastic, I'm not positive how you will get it to start the download. Maybe if you just use someone elses serial number, that will start the download???
EDIT: Link to the Temp File from Kies (not sure you'll be able to do anything with it)

Hey guys,
I want to update my 5X(7.0, NRD90M) to the September security patch(7.0, NRD90R). I'm currently rooted with TWRP installed. How do I go about doing this? I can't attach to my PC and use the android SDK thingamajig because I don't have an A to C cable. Is there any way to do this on my phone without a PC, or perhaps wirelessly with my PC?
Oh, and, updating and taking the OTA like I normally would does nothing. It tells me the update is downloaded, but when I try to install it, it boots into TWRP and does nothing
Thanks in advance!

Just buy the proper cable and flash a full stock rom (bootloader and radio, boot, system) in fastboot and reroot, afaik you need a non-modifed stock rom to flash an OTA fil.

I understand this is an option, but is there no other solution? I don't have a need whatsoever for an A to C cable currently. If I'd have to buy one it would be just for updating. If this is my only option I think I'll just stick with my current version of Android until I can loan a USB-C PC or something. I don't think I'll spend $15 on a cable I'll only use once a month :/

Hey, recently I booted up my phone and it said custom binary locked by frp lock, or something along those lines, since then I came a lot further/closer to fixing it. As now when I boot it up says: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
When i try to download/reflash new software it fails because it's blocked by FRP lock, anyway to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Extract the firmware with a different archiver.
Ensure the download hasn't been interrupted and download it with something else.
Otherwise, the firmware might actually not be original. It has to be a stock touchwiz/samsung experience rom to pass FRP (in Odin). Not a custom rom.

Even though 15 is written, actual speeds should be much higher than 15 and resumable.

Hello guys, so after spending a lot of time doing research on which partitions to extract to flash. I found out that the partitions on the link did the trick. I have 2 Sprint V50 same model one is rooted, the other is not, made the backup with Qfil from the non rooted and flashed those onto the rooted, that did the trick. Only use Qfil to flash partitions, do not use TWRP, it'll fail and your data will be erased to get it to work again!
The files are the one's I used, so I upload those to you guys! Hope it helps someone, if you have a doubt, just ask I'll be happy to help.
When I have some time I'll try to make a guide of it. If a new update arrives I'll update this post with the new files!

Strange I've never had any issue with flashing these in TWRP as long as I clear data/userdata. Then again I prefer starting fresh on a new OTA.

What happens when you try to boot download mode? I'm not sure which kdz you are looking for. If it is sprint, I recommend looking for the v50 sprint backup files shared on xda. It isn't kdz, but result should be more or less the same.

Nowadays, I can only connect via Wi-Fi calling while the cellular connection no longer works, so I'm guessing that T-Mobile is doing some IMEI-based blocking on their end.
