Thanks for the modems, but I have problems. In fact with TWRP I restore the modem, everything is ok during restore but when I verify in setting about I still have i9506XXUCNF3. Tried to restore 5 times ... same problem with all modems.

Could you help me please ? Thanks

For what I know, is not possible to update modem partition via recovery... The working way need odin flashable modem... but may be I'm wrong...

EDIT: some partitions are write protected from recovery, this is the reason.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9506

I followed your directions step by step and even received a green "pass" sign in Odin but baseband still shows the old version. Can you think of anything that could possibly went wrong? I appreciate any help.

Thanks !! Now it's OK for me !! In fact I flashed using odin but without power off to go in download mode ! the download mode from the rom does not work.

I modified a little your tuto. With odin 3.09 I put the bootloader file in BL section and modem in CP section(not AP)

Big thanks for your help !

You are welcome...

EDIT: Anyway, also if you put the modem on AP (or PDA on v3.07), the modem flash correctly (tested by doing it as a mistake!!)... For your information, when a new rom is released, I always unpack the firmware to clean the package from recovery image (this to avoid to reflash TWRP), so I can prepare easyly and fastly the modem and bootloader tar.md5 files... if you need, ask me and I'll provide them... I prepare always tar.md5 that has self-checksum control when opened on Odin

What version do you use of Odin?

I suggest to use the v3.07, not the last one v3.09... In my dev teams, we tested and seems that older one is more stable than the last... here the link for v3.07 (in case someone need): https://mega.co.nz/#!pVwUEaqK!QWtWKBNrBklhmVDY1hOjJGC8nr6GEjy4qEVvhTbDrRs

Thank you for your reply. I tried 3.04, 3.07 and 3.09 all with the same result. It flashed, said "passed" but Baseband didn't change. I found out that I lost root somehow (maybe through the last update of the ROM?). I re-rooted and then I could flash the modem with V3.04. Thank you so much!

I'm glad I helped. If you updated the ROM, you lost for sure the root... anyway from now I think you can flash with Odin the new future Modem without issues... you know how to do it!!

Didn't work either.

Weird, after I did the whole reroot thing, I installed the latest CM12 nighty, had random reboots like many others I found out later. Root still worked. So I did a factory reset, flashed an old version (from 22nd) and lost root again. Never mind, thank you again!
