For Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition Devices Only!

I have extracted the Boot.img, Recovery.img, NON-HLOS.bin (Radio) and Modem.bin files from the Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition on builds I545OYUAMDK (original Factory Firmware), I545OYUEMJ7 and I545OYUEMK2. With those files, I have created various tar.md5 restore files which include the Boot, Recovery, Radio and Modem partitions. The tar.md5 files were created using 64-bit Cygwin in Windows 8 by running the following commands (for example):

filename=I545OYUAMDK
tar -H ustar -c boot.img recovery.img > $filename.tar
md5sum -t $filename.tar >> $filename.tar
mv $filename.tar $filename.tar.md5


I have also extracted the MD5 sums and SHA-1 values from each tar.md5 file below and have posted them for reference. Please use at your own risk. I am not responsible for damaged devices.

I have flashed these files using Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09. Load tar.md5's into "PDA" slot in Odin 3.07 or "AP" slot in Odin 3.09. For both Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09, "F. Reset Time" and "Auto-Reboot" options are ok to be checked, but make sure "Re-partition" is NOT CHECKED.

If you have any questions or any requests for other partitions please do not hesitate to ask. This is the first thread I have ever created, please go easy on me! :)

I545OYUFNC5 Boot, Recovery, Radio and Modem images [UPDATED: 7/15/2014]

Below you will find the Modem, Radio and and Boot images from the recent Verizon 4.4.2 I545OYUFNC5 KitKat build (Developer Device version) and Recovery image from the recent Verizon 4.4.2 I545VRUFNC5 build (Retail version). Since there isn't a root method yet for Verizon 4.4.2 KitKat on the Galaxy S4, in order to achieve root, the stock recovery partition had to be overwritten with Philz Touch Recovery and Chainfire's SuperSu was then flashed. Because of this there isn't a back up of the 4.4.2 Developer Recovery image. The Recovery Image that is included is the stock recovery from the Retail Galaxy S4 on 4.4.2 KitKat, this functions perfectly fine on the Developer Device.

The Build for the Galaxy S4 Developer Edition device on 4.4.2 KitKat is KOT49H.I545OYUFNC5 and the Baseband is I545OYUFNC5. If you decide to flash the stock Recovery, it will say I545VRUFNC5 in the upper corner of the recovery screen. If you want a custom recovery, however, you can flash the latest Philz Touch Recovery for jflte devices (found here). At the time of this write-up 6.50.6 is the latest version.

I have not tested any of these files on the Developer S4 running builds earlier than 4.4.2 KitKat - i.e. I545OYUAMDK (4.2.2), I545OYUEMJ7 (4.3) and I545OYUEMK2 (4.3). I do not think the Radio and Modem would have any issue on a non-KitKat build, but I would recommend holding off on the Boot file unless you have a 4.4.2 KitKat build on your device. Both Modem (modem.bin) and Radio (NON-HLOS.bin) were edited to remove the padded zero's at the end of the file which allows ODIN flashing (allows the pass on the signature test)(thanks @Surge1223 for your HexEdit guide). If you have any issues with the Modem and Radio, you can always flash back to a version which is stable for your device using the above posted files.

Below you will find the Boot, Recovery, Modem and Radio images as individual tar.md5's and also bundled as Modem/Radio, Boot/Recovery and Boot/Recovery/Modem/Radio.

Holy moly. This is wonderful news! Am on vacation and will try when I get home next week. Thank you so much.
If you can flesh out each step more clearly it is most appreciated. Do we keep 2 versions of Odin opened at same time or do one at a time?

I would be glad to help out as best I can.

You only need one version of Odin installed and running at a time, I know there are two versions available, which is the reason I linked to both. User's choice. Surge or Bait-Fish may have more insight whether one is better than the other. Personally, I have always used 3.07.

1. Download and install USB drivers for phone from Samsung's Website (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I545ZKDVZW? - scroll down for "downloads" option)

2. Download the desired tar.md5 file as linked above. Check the md5 or SHA-1. (I have stumbled across an interesting program that integrates in to Windows and gives the option of md5, SHA-1, etc checking - HashCheck Shell Extension - http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ - right click the tar.md5 file and choose properties. You will see the option for Checksums)

3. Put phone in download mode. (Power off phone. Hold Volume down and Power button. Press Volume up at the warning screen.)

4. Connect to Computer via USB. Let windows install necessary drivers.

5. Load Odin.

6. Odin should list the phone on a ID:COM port (upper left of the program - i.e. ID:COM 6)

7. Load tar.md5 file into Odin - 3.07 use PDA button. 3.09 use AP button.

8. Make sure only Auto-reboot and F. Reset Time are checked. Re-Partition should not be checked, if it is, UN-CHECK it!

9. As long as tar.md5 is loaded properly, the phone is in download mode, Odin sees the phone on a COM port and only F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot are checked, press the "start" button.

10. The phone should reboot and eventually you will see a green "PASS!" above the COM port area.

11. You should be now good to go.

12. Reboot to recovery or check baseband to ensure things worked.

I have hosted these files also as a way to get out of binds (i.e. you flash an inappropriate Philz Touch recovery or TWRP recovery, you can revert to stock recovery and boot or you wish to change or revert basebands). You can obviously also use these files at your own leisure to change basebands, recoveries or boots.

Hope this helps. Enjoy the rest of vacation.

As I said, I have other partitions available if need be.

No problem, happy to help.

Case in point: I have always enjoyed Philz Touch Recovery. I decided to give TWRP a go. An earlier version flashed fine and I didn't have any issues. I flashed a later version and upon booting my phone it would automatically load to download mode. I could not get past it. Fortunately I had the stock boot and recovery files on hand, which I flashed through Odin and was back to stock boot and recovery. I then proceeded to load Philz and all was fine.

I've seen a couple of post the last few days with other's experiencing the same thing. I've never had an issue with TWRP, but then again I've never flashed anything but 2.5.0.2. I started out on Philz but was trying to flash a ROM (I think it was Vanar) and I could not get the ROM to boot. The ROM developer recommended I try a different recovery, TWRP, I did, and the ROM flashed correctly. I didn't like the ROM so I switched to a TW version of Eclipse, but kept TWRP. What's strange is TWRP has been the "gold standard" of recoveries for a long time...I wonder what has happened in the later versions of TWRP? Again, thanks for these files...great job!!!
 
Awesome job, bro. The Dev Edition community has really needed something like this for quite a while now. Its nice to now finally have the option to restore back to stock in the event we just so happen to choose to actually take advantage of the very thing our "Developer Edition" devices were specifically marketed for, and for which we paid full retail price to obtain. It baffles me to think that any company would offer any device and market it under the "Developer Edition" label yet refuse to offer any means of support as a base to restore the device back to stock in the likely event, as is often the case in a development scenario, where things go wrong. But that is another story, I just wanted to give you props.

I have a concern though. From what I have gathered browsing through various threads, others with the more recent MJ7 Dev Edition are having trouble flashing custom AOSP roms with the newer bootloader and can not downgrade to MDK. I have the MDK Dev Edition and although I've been able to update my modem in the past to MJ7 by flashing strictly the modem files provided on other threads, I was curious about upgrading my current MDK radio to the more recent MJ7 version as well. But from what I've gathered, I would need to first update my current MDK bootloader version as well to MJ7 in order for the newer MJ7 radio to successfully update. I fear this would leave me with the same problem not being able to flash AOSP roms due to the newer bootloader and unable to downgrade back to MDK.

I guess my question is: Is this correct? And is there really a difference between the NON-HLOS.bin (Radio) and Modem?

Thank you for the props. I have to agree that there has been a minimal amount of support for this phone from the community, though some devs are really taking charge and leading the way. Sadly, there has been virtually no support from Samsung.

I do recall, however, when I was on full MDK O/S for my DevS4, I was able to successfully flash the MJ7 radio without issue. I kept the MDK bootloader while enjoying the MJ7 baseband. If you wish, I can always post the tar.md5's of just the radio (minus the modem). When I have the chance, I can always look into it.

I can't really answer your last question confidently. I am relatively new to this whole scene and have learned as I have gone along. Hope I was able to help, just even a little bit.
 
Thanks a lot for the reply. I can and have in the past flashed the MJ7 modem (without NON-HLOS) just fine and it updated my baseband in "About Phone" to show MJ7. But attempting to actually flash the MJ7 radio (NON-HLOS) just errors out. From what I have gathered, its because of my still being on the MDK bootloader. I suspect the bootloader version and radio (NON-HLOS) version have to match because I can successfully flash the MDK radio (NON-HLOS) just fine. As I was trying to articulate earlier, I'd have no problem upgrading my bootloader to MJ7 to get the updated MJ7 radio (NON-HLOS) along with the MJ7 modem. But after reading about others having problems flashing AOSP roms from the MJ7 bootloader, I'm a bit reluctant. What I can't seem to find anywhere though is any clear explanation of how the radio (NON-HLOS) is different from just the modem (without NON-HLOS). Someone suggested somewhere that one is for WiFi and the other for cell reception. But I don't know if that is accurate.

So had anyone on mdk tried flashing the mk2 modem radio file? I'm on the newest Eclipse and having some issues that might be caused by still being on the mdk baseband. I guess worst case I have to flash back to mdk. Might try it tomorrow.

What does this do to a non developer edition phone?

Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium HD app

That I am not sure about, but personally I would be reluctant to flash this without a safety net... There should be threads with Odin tars for the retail phone up to the current build. What images are you interested in flashing anyway?

What i really want to be able to do is flash a recovery. I have MK2. It was updated to current before i had a chance to root the phone. Now i cant go back. I dont want to have to use safestrap.

Flashing a developer edition recovery alone won't help you install root. You may need to do things to your phone that your retail device may not allow you to do. Not sure what your train of thought is here. Sorry.

Please explain more.

The current build i have is locked and its not possible to flash a recovery. I do However have root, but i must use safestrap to install TW based roms only. I was hoping there was a chance that it was possible to ODIN the developer image which might allow me to install a custom recovery. Just a thought.

    For Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition Devices Only!

    I have extracted the Boot.img, Recovery.img, NON-HLOS.bin (Radio) and Modem.bin files from the Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition on builds I545OYUAMDK (original Factory Firmware), I545OYUEMJ7 and I545OYUEMK2. With those files, I have created various tar.md5 restore files which include the Boot, Recovery, Radio and Modem partitions. The tar.md5 files were created using 64-bit Cygwin in Windows 8 by running the following commands (for example):

    filename=I545OYUAMDK
    tar -H ustar -c boot.img recovery.img > $filename.tar
    md5sum -t $filename.tar >> $filename.tar
    mv $filename.tar $filename.tar.md5


    I have also extracted the MD5 sums and SHA-1 values from each tar.md5 file below and have posted them for reference. Please use at your own risk. I am not responsible for damaged devices.

    I have flashed these files using Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09. Load tar.md5's into "PDA" slot in Odin 3.07 or "AP" slot in Odin 3.09. For both Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09, "F. Reset Time" and "Auto-Reboot" options are ok to be checked, but make sure "Re-partition" is NOT CHECKED.

    If you have any questions or any requests for other partitions please do not hesitate to ask. This is the first thread I have ever created, please go easy on me! :)

    Holy moly. This is wonderful news! Am on vacation and will try when I get home next week. Thank you so much.
    If you can flesh out each step more clearly it is most appreciated. Do we keep 2 versions of Odin opened at same time or do one at a time?

    Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app

    I would be glad to help out as best I can.

    You only need one version of Odin installed and running at a time, I know there are two versions available, which is the reason I linked to both. User's choice. Surge or Bait-Fish may have more insight whether one is better than the other. Personally, I have always used 3.07.

    1. Download and install USB drivers for phone from Samsung's Website (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I545ZKDVZW? - scroll down for "downloads" option)

    2. Download the desired tar.md5 file as linked above. Check the md5 or SHA-1. (I have stumbled across an interesting program that integrates in to Windows and gives the option of md5, SHA-1, etc checking - HashCheck Shell Extension - http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ - right click the tar.md5 file and choose properties. You will see the option for Checksums)

    3. Put phone in download mode. (Power off phone. Hold Volume down and Power button. Press Volume up at the warning screen.)

    4. Connect to Computer via USB. Let windows install necessary drivers.

    5. Load Odin.

    6. Odin should list the phone on a ID:COM port (upper left of the program - i.e. ID:COM 6)

    7. Load tar.md5 file into Odin - 3.07 use PDA button. 3.09 use AP button.

    8. Make sure only Auto-reboot and F. Reset Time are checked. Re-Partition should not be checked, if it is, UN-CHECK it!

    9. As long as tar.md5 is loaded properly, the phone is in download mode, Odin sees the phone on a COM port and only F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot are checked, press the "start" button.

    10. The phone should reboot and eventually you will see a green "PASS!" above the COM port area.

    11. You should be now good to go.

    12. Reboot to recovery or check baseband to ensure things worked.

    I have hosted these files also as a way to get out of binds (i.e. you flash an inappropriate Philz Touch recovery or TWRP recovery, you can revert to stock recovery and boot or you wish to change or revert basebands). You can obviously also use these files at your own leisure to change basebands, recoveries or boots.

    Hope this helps. Enjoy the rest of vacation.

    As I said, I have other partitions available if need be.

    I545OYUFNC5 Boot, Recovery, Radio and Modem images [UPDATED: 7/15/2014]

    Below you will find the Modem, Radio and and Boot images from the recent Verizon 4.4.2 I545OYUFNC5 KitKat build (Developer Device version) and Recovery image from the recent Verizon 4.4.2 I545VRUFNC5 build (Retail version). Since there isn't a root method yet for Verizon 4.4.2 KitKat on the Galaxy S4, in order to achieve root, the stock recovery partition had to be overwritten with Philz Touch Recovery and Chainfire's SuperSu was then flashed. Because of this there isn't a back up of the 4.4.2 Developer Recovery image. The Recovery Image that is included is the stock recovery from the Retail Galaxy S4 on 4.4.2 KitKat, this functions perfectly fine on the Developer Device.

    The Build for the Galaxy S4 Developer Edition device on 4.4.2 KitKat is KOT49H.I545OYUFNC5 and the Baseband is I545OYUFNC5. If you decide to flash the stock Recovery, it will say I545VRUFNC5 in the upper corner of the recovery screen. If you want a custom recovery, however, you can flash the latest Philz Touch Recovery for jflte devices (found here). At the time of this write-up 6.50.6 is the latest version.

    I have not tested any of these files on the Developer S4 running builds earlier than 4.4.2 KitKat - i.e. I545OYUAMDK (4.2.2), I545OYUEMJ7 (4.3) and I545OYUEMK2 (4.3). I do not think the Radio and Modem would have any issue on a non-KitKat build, but I would recommend holding off on the Boot file unless you have a 4.4.2 KitKat build on your device. Both Modem (modem.bin) and Radio (NON-HLOS.bin) were edited to remove the padded zero's at the end of the file which allows ODIN flashing (allows the pass on the signature test)(thanks @Surge1223 for your HexEdit guide). If you have any issues with the Modem and Radio, you can always flash back to a version which is stable for your device using the above posted files.

    Below you will find the Boot, Recovery, Modem and Radio images as individual tar.md5's and also bundled as Modem/Radio, Boot/Recovery and Boot/Recovery/Modem/Radio.

    So, if I have a Developer Edition and wanted to backup my aboot partition, would I do that with a terminal command like this?
    Code:
    busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=$/storage/sdcard0/backup/aboot.mbn
    (taking that code from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417603 )
    You know, just in case...

    From a pc with your phone connected, adb set up and root permissions already granted you can run: adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/storage/extSdCard/aboot.mbn'"
