Latest Modem and Kernel from COH4 update

[kozmo21]

Since I didn't see anyone pull the modem and kernel from the last stagefright update in Sept., thought I'd do it for the few of us that still have this old device.

Was there an OTA for T-Mobile? I'm currently on a AOSP Rom.

Yeah, but you need to be on a stock ROM to get the OTA, or you can download the whole ROM from sammobile.com. It's a security fix for stagefright. I just wanted to try the new modem and see if it made any difference. I won't be able to test the kernel, since I switch back and forth between a 4.4.4 TW ROM and 5.1 CM ROM.

Appreciate the info, have you notice better signal with the new radio?

Maybe a little better signal (?), but basically the same. Haven't been on it real long, I'll have to see if the standby improves after I've been on it a while.

Are you dual booting? Is it possible?

Warning, don't flash this modem. I did and it killed my baseband. I tried flashing 3 other roms which wouldn't even finish booting to my phone before I finally realized it and flashed my original modem back and all was working again.

Working fine on mine. Did you maybe get a bad download? You could maybe try downloading again?

Which modem did you go back to?

 

[James62370]

Flashed fine and so far no issues. Previous user might have a bad download or different device.

Flashed via TWRP today.. I had no service after reboot but did another restart and it was working.
Don't know if its any better than the previous modem version but will give it a try. thx

You caused the problem when you altered the stock ROM. From your thread about it here (http://xdaforums.com/note-2-tmobile/help/recent-tmo-ota-update-bricked-wifes-t3245890), you said "Had her note 2 with stock 4.3, Rooted it last year to titanium backup and uninstall a couple bloatware apps. " This is what caused your problem. It was no longer a stock ROM when you remove apps. I know it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but it is, and you found out unfortunately

That's kinda what I was thinking had happened.
I suppose I shouldn't blame the OTA. I just noticed someone else had issues with it too.

so to the people that actually flashed this new modem and kernel, is it working better than previous iterations?

 

[wogeboy]

question:
I flashed the C0H4 modem on note 2 (nameless lollipop rom) seems ok...
DO I have to also flash the Kernel ? is there an advantage to flashing the kernel? thx

Hello! Thanks for this! I flashed this over TWRP 2.8.7.1, and wiping my dalvik cache. My phone's originally T889UVALK8 (16gb SGH-T889 t0ltetmo) and the signal drops but after flashing this (C0H4) the signal greatly improved, although I'm having some signal instability since I'm supposed to have full bars because my house is just in line of sight, 2km from the tower. Also I think I'll do a clean install of another custom ROM since I'm using the CM12.1 t0lte nightly, and maybe this affects my signal (I know I'm stupid for doing it but it works).

Welp. After rebooting, the phone lost signal again. I have to do a wipe of dalvik cache to restore my signal. I guess I'll try using another ROM instead.

Upodate: I may be experiencing hardware issues. I have yet to flash back to stock since my phone's signal drops. I can't flash the firmware because it says 'zip signature verification failed.'

Working fine on mine.

BUT, "yours" seems to be a completely different phone! It says Galaxy Note 4, SM-N910C...

What's up with that?!

It's just the ROM I flashed that makes it say that. That ROM is in my signature... DN4
