Flashable (TWRP/CWM) 4.4 NE4 Modem

[rishidhar]

Does someone have a "flashable" zip for the new 4.4 NE4 modem?

 

[DocHoliday77]

Not a good idea at this point. Unless yours already on NE4 firmware it'll brick.

 

[rishidhar]

I'm updated to NE4 and want to flash back to a 4.3 rom. I was able to downgrade but unable to get any signal due to not having NE4.

I just need the NE4 to flash to get signal back but not the whole OTA.

So let me get this straight. This is for if a person:

Updated via OTA to 4.4.2
Installed TWRP/CWM 4.3 backup
No Wi-Fi after installing the 4.3 backup

This will simply get Wi-Fi working again after restoring a 4.3 backup, after on 4.4.2 OTA?

Thank you so much DocHoliday77! This works if you are on NE4 bootloader

No it most likely won't fix WiFi, this is only for if you flashed the 4.3 modem as instructed in many 4.3 Rom threads, after having updated to the 4.4.2 firmware.
I believe the wifi issues you are referring to are kernel related. If on a 4.3 rom, flash the MJ2 kernel to fix.

 

[rishidhar]

Yeah Wifi is kernel issue. I've had to use the Ktoonez 4.3 kernel if I'm running a 4.3 ROM after updating to the NE4 bootloader.

Mj2 and mjb kernels work for 4.3 too.

so I'm currently on 4.4 NE4 bootloader and on an AOSP rom(AOSPA), will I be able to flash 4.3 kernel to fix wifi? I remembered some roms mentioned that 4.4 aosp rom only accept 7/1/14 and up kernels.. but forgot which

 

[DocHoliday77]

The kernel will have to match the rom. So if you're on a 4.4 rom, you'll need the kernel to be the same. Also, aosp/cm kernels are not compatible with touchwiz and vice versa. The MJ2 kernel fix I mentioned previously is only for 4.3 touchwiz roms. Im not sure about what you'd need to do for aosp though.

i've pretty much tried all the 4.4.x kernels and none of them seem to work :3

 

[DocHoliday77]

Probably best to ask in the thread you got your rom in then. I dont use non touchwiz roms so im not well versed with them and their requirements.
Generally, you should use the kernel included or recommended with the rom for troubleshooting.

yeah i know that, but thing is when i flashed the TW 4.4.2 from my previous post, the problem already showed up, I couldn't turn on wifi at all.
which happened to me before in the past and when i flash an AOSP rom, it fixed, so that was what i did, but just that this time it didn't work
and what pain me is that going back to stock will reset everything again...

did you manage to fix signal? im in the same boat and failed to flash NE4 (( i dont have a baseband and no modem will flash

 

[rishidhar]

Yep. Once you update to NE4 then you have to use NE4 modem from then on because the NE4 bootloader will enforce that.

Post #4 on this thread by DocHoliday77 provides a flashable NE4 modem zip that you can flash though CWM or TWRP and get your signal back.

Even if you use a 4.3 rom once you have tried or updated to NE4 bootloader, always flash NE4 modem.

NE4 Flashable Modem - Thanks DocHoliday77!

I understand that this is an old thread, but I have recently pulled out my old S3 and see I am on FW Ver. I747UCUEMJB. I have seen the new lollipop roms for the S3 and they suggest flashing the NE4 modem/bootloader. Is this now safe to do? If not how would I go about upgrading my bootloader/modem?

 

[whodisname]

Stupid question here but ... I'm already on NE4 but I Got the phone from a stranger. It works 100% but I don't know if anything was dine and put back or antrhiing. Its absolutely on NE 4. Can I reflash this in Odin without additional risk of bricking the device? I put lollipop on it and would miss it terribly
