DISCLAIMER/FYI

- I am aware that other locations/websites offer one or more of the following Firmware/PIT files. I'm providing them all in one place to help others out in obtaining them.

- Due tot he size of the Firmware Files, the PIT Files are only available on the Downloads area of the DevDB.

- Any process (like updating your modem) via Odin/TWRP/CWM is simple/easy to do but, as always, if your not sure of what your doing and don't do your research (ie... searching, asking questions, etc... first), then you take the risk of damaging your device.

- I take no responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen but, I am always willing to provide assistance to help you out.

- Also keep in mind that when performing any unconventional updates, unlocking, rooting, etc... you may end up "voiding your warranty"!


INSTRUCTIONS

1. If not already done, be sure your PC/LPTP has the latest "Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones" installed.

2. Download the Firmware and extract the ".tar.md5" file needed from one of the download links (below).

3. Reboot your device in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons).

4. Connect the USB cable to the Device and PC.

5. Open Odin and select the PDA/AP and choose the ".tar.md5" Firmware file you downloaded.
{Please Note: It's typically reccomended to use Odin v3.12-v3.15 (other versions may also work).

6. In Odin, please be sure not to make any additional selections than the default that was already selected when you opened Odin.
{Please Note: ONLY if using a PIT file, be sure you select the "re-partition" option.

7. Select "Start" at the bottom & be patient for the process to complete as it can take some time for Odin to finish. Once Finished, Odin should reflect a Green "PASS" when completed (The device will also reboot automatically when done).

Alright, this is great thank you! I have a noob question. I have the g900v with unlooked BL and I have the latest modem but an older BL.
.will flashing the newest tar give me the ever illusive matched pair without locking the BL?

Flashing any one of these will restore your device to its default state, to include locking up your bootloader.

It's extremely rare for a device, with an unlocked bootloader, to require or benefit from updating the bootloader itself unless it was to repair something like
Unbricking it.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello! I am currently running a PHX ROM - Stock MM - baseband version QA1, build number MMB29M.G900FXXS1CPK1, it is a port from the S7. I have a locked boot loader - CD11 chip.

Is it possible to flash the QL1 update to this phone on this ROM, or do I need to go all the way back to stock? (hope not....)

Thanks!

This looks like a 2 part type of question but, I believe that it can be answered with 1 part of it since I believe that you may be looking for something else and got a bit confused regarding this specific thread.

Are you actually looking for the Baseband Modem Update for your G900F device?

Hello!

I am looking to update to QL1 from QA1, but I am using a ported stock based ROM. I am unsure if using the files here will allow the phone to work. The phone is really a G900V (VZW) but registers as a 900F as it's a ported ROM

I understand what your asking now... :thumbup:

Go to your devices "Settings Menu" then "About phone" and tell me what it states under the "Baseband version".

Awesome!

G900VVRS2DQA1.

My main reason for trying this is to get my security updates from Nov 2016 security updates to a much better patch.

Okay, we're getting somewhere here. :thumbup:

Your question is, in fact, a 2 part question...

1) Your Baseband is out of date:

Your Baseband is kind of a set of drivers that controls a few things that's tied to your Modem that controls Mobile Data, LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth etc...

Yours reflects the "QA1" and there's been 7 updates to it since that was released.

Go to the following thread and use Odin to flash the "QL1" Update.

[BASEBAND-FIRMWARE-MODEMS]Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 {SM-G900V/KLTEVZW}[ODIN] by Ibuprophen

Please remember that the above Modem update will not affect your firmware that's installed. It only updates your Baseband Modem. When it finishes flashing, you can go to the About area and see the update there.


2) Specifically regarding the Security Patches:

This is Firmware ROM specific...

If you flash the latest Stock Firmware to your device, indeed the Security Patches will be installed but, if you port that Custom Firmware back to your device, you'll loose those security patches from the Stock Firmware.

The Developer of the Firmware that's installed on your device will have to implement and update the Custom Firmware specifically for Security Patches.

Basically, if you have an outdated Custom Firmware for your device, and want to keep a Custom Firmware installed, then your best bet is to use another Custom Firmware that's more up to date.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text...

This help very much!

So updating to QL1 using that thread will update my modem.

If I want the latest security patch I need to do one of two things:

1. Hope JKruse updates the ROM
2. Go back to stock and update normally.

Thank you!!!

 

[Ibuprophen]

This help very much!.....

Yes for the first one and, the second, see if there's another option for your device if you don't want to revert back to stock.

I wish you the best of luck!

Are you using Phoenix Rom on a Cid 11? How is that possible?

The provided Stock Firmware and Pit on this thread is for ALL Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 devices (kltevzw / SM-G900V).

Just don't confuse this with the separate Firmware Modem files. This is the Stock Firmware for restoring the device back to factory stock.

The thread with the Modem files are only for Updating the Firmwares Modem only. The Modem Files are pulled from the stock Firmware.

Thanks for answering. When trying for example *#06# it doesn't work, says invalid mml code. Is there any way I can have all CSC codes working?

This looks like your device isn't a G900V...

It looks like more like another Galaxy S5 variant like a G900F.

This will only work on G900V devices. It doesn't make a device a G900V.

EDIT: I just wanted to further clarify this point @xddd00... The "CSC" is the "Country Specific Code". If you look at the following link, you'll see that the SM-G900V has the "USA (Verizon)" specified and there's NO other "Stock" Firmware options available for this specific device for other Countries.

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900V/

This specific device WILL NOT allow for other "Stock Firmware" to be installed BUT, if this devices Bootloader was Unlocked, then the option to install a "Custom Firmware" opens up.

I hope that I had clarified this better via text... :thumbup:

Yes, thank you for clarifying this.

My device is a G900V, Cid 11... CSC codes are not working but I guess I don't have any other solution available...

I've seen this before...

There's been members who had a device that pointed to one variant but, was actually another variant.

I'll have to admit that I'm not completely sure about how it was done but, you should be able to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to the Galaxy S5 and Variants.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700073

Let them know that everything looks like a SM-G900V with CID11 but, after attempting to flash the Official SM-G900V Stock Firmware, you are having issues with the CSC being incorrect.

Something similar to the above but, it does get to the bottom line for your question.

I may chime in, if needed, to help clarify what I know about it.

Good Luck!
