Hello. I am on the NE3 firmware for my AT&T Galaxy S4 Active (SGH-i537).
I used this guide to install the MF1 modem to my phone via Odin 3.07. Everything went smoothly and I instantly noticed an improvement in cellular data performance. Things just load faster. WiFi is about the same as it was, which can be a little spotty compared to the 4.2.2 firmwares. It's been that way since the 4.3 ML2 update.
The big problem I'm having (and I noticed something like this with ML2 and NE3) is that my Jabra SP700 Bluetooth car kit kills the phone audio (no sending or receiving) after the first call I take or make. I'm not even sure if it's connecting or not as it doesn't ring, I can't hear anyone, and they can't hear me. Rebooting the phone is the only thing that seems to fix it.
I have a few questions on this.
1. The modem shouldn't have any effect on the Bluetooth functionality, correct? Any problem with that would be related to other parts of the firmware, right?
2. Is WiFi controlled by the modem?
3. Did MF3 use the same modem as MF1? I recall that firmware being the best in terms of cellular data and WiFi performance.
4. If I wanted to revert the changes and go back to the NE3 modem, would I just flash the CP part of the firmware back using Odin? Or does that include more than just the modem?
Thanks!
I don't think it has to do with the modem.
Does your car kit have Bluetooth 4? if so I guess you need android 4.3+ modem not MF1.
MF3 did not use the same modem but MF2 did with the MF2 name in the system.
You can try to flash like this:
Attach the CSC first then the CP then flash. And if that won't work I guess you'll need to attach the CSC then CP then AP.
Good Luck!

hello i am new to the forum as of today but i have been roaming around it for like the past week a few of the threads have helped me out tremendously. only question i have on this thread is that do i run the NON-HLOS.bin file in Odin first then after the restart turn around and run the Modem.bin file right afterwards to get it to work correctly or only run the Modem.bin file if the NON-HLOS.bin file doesnt work?
thank you for any help that is handed down.
No. Sorry. Search for you models modem.bin and follow my guideDoes this work on galaxy note 10.1??

Hi, It'snot working for my samsung s4 active sgh i537. Odin tries to connect and immediately disconnects. Any suggestions? I cannot use it as a phone as the IMEI was all set to zeros, probably when they unlocked it. Thanks!
I too have an S4 Active, SGH-i537, however, my phone has unknown baseband and IMEI. I have downloaded Odin v3.10.6. I have also downloaded the modem.bin file.
Could someone help me understand what other files besides modem.bin I need to get the IMEI and baseband numbers back?
Would preparing the phone to flash ( press volume down, home button, and power button at same time ), putting modem.bin file in CP box area of Odin, and starting the flash, would this correct the IMEI and baseband issue???
I want to make sure I have proper version of Odin, proper modem file, so as not to screw up my phone even more.
Here's the info on my phone
AT&T locked SGH-i537, Android version 4.4.2
Build # KOT49H.i537UCUCNH3
Security Software version - MDF v1.0 Release 2
