Nobody says anything about new CPE1 modem?
Or better said, anyone else can say something about it?? (MaChiMiB said it works good and has some better reception in Germany but that's all?? Any good comparison? :( )

hi there,

i'm trying to fix my gt-i9195. i updated my encrypted cm 12 to cm 13.0-20160418 this weekend and since today it cant detect my sim anymore. my baseband-version is I9195XXUCNJ4.

I have twrp 2.8.7.0

hey redjamesg,

thanks for your reply!
i dont know if my imei is still intact. if i press *#06# it shows an imei, but i dont know if its the right one.

here is what i have done:
1) i formated data and removed encryption, wiped everything
2) i updated to TWRP v3.0.2-1, downloaded from here
3) i updated my baseband with heimdall on linux to I9195XXUCOI4
4) i installed cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NJ-serranoltexx.zip downloaded from here
5) i booted the fresh installed CM and checked my baseband: :confused: still the old baseband-version I9195XXUCNJ4
6) i went back to download-mode again and updated baseband a again, followed the instruction exactly - this time i tried to update to I9195XXUCPE1
7) i booted CM again and still.. old baseband :(

what shell i do now?

How do you update baseband?
Is it done twice?
-meaning boot to download mode, flash baseband, reboot directly to download mode and flash bseband once again.

exactly!
download mode, then sudo heimdall flash --MDM NON-HLOS.bin --verbose --no-reboot
and again (directly)
download mode, then sudo heimdall flash --MDM NON-HLOS.bin --verbose --no-reboot

here is how it looks like in terminal (one of the two times)
Code: 
sudo heimdall flash --MDM NON-HLOS.bin --verbose --no-reboot
Heimdall v1.4.0

Hmm... This seems like your problem:

PIT file download successful.

ERROR: Partition "MDM" does not exist in the specified PIT.

What is the output of the command:

# sudo heimdall print-pit --verbose –no-reboot

What if you were to try and flash with every part that is in the modem package ie:

# sudo heimdall flash --modem NON-HLOS.bin --RPM rpm.mbn --TZ tz.mbn --verbose --no-reboot

Hiya there, Noob here.
I want a fresh ROM now, since I cannot update via normal shortcuts on my phone. I rooted it to get access to SD-card and maybe I messed up, i get "...OS...has been modified..." error (I will probably root it again 'cus of this SD-bullcrap).
You in-directly mention the kernel and base is not a part of your modem-files (answer to iordache_srn), and if kernel is removed, what's the use of a modem file?
(I'm more than happy to get rid of some bs apps that are bundled in stock firm/software. I'm not the noobiest noob :))

the modem (baseband) file is extracted from an update from some country when released, we are then able to run a modem of our choice even if there is no update released for our country. Though you have to be a little cautious as it may loose some of the "extra" functionality as mentioned in previous posts, but the core functions should always work on our phone as they come with the XX (Euro) modem. Also custom ROM's do not come with modems, only Android (on some older phones the custom ROM's will come with a custom recovery included, ours doesn't so you need to install that first to flash custom ROM, TWRP is probably best for our phone)

You are therefore free to choose whatever custom ROM you want, you just select the modem that works best with your ROM on your phone, normally the most recent.

I don't think you have messed up root, it's just the stock warning that something has been modified, it will go when you flash a custom ROM.

I had a chance to update to the latest CPE1 baseband this evening. I've only ever used Heimdall (on Windows 7), and previously copied and pasted a command provided by another user in the old thread. This evening I used the command in your original post (minus the sudo, of course), and was unable to update to the latest version. Then I remembered using the longer command (above), which flashes all of the parts, so gave it a try. The process took a little while longer and the flash command line output (below) was more verbose:

Code: 
>heimdall flash --no-reboot --MODEM NON-HLOS.bin --TZ tz.mbn --RPM rpm.mbn --verbose

Heimdall v1.4.0

After flashing for a second time and rebooting, I confirmed that the update to the CPE1 baseband had been successful.

Perhaps it's worth revising the original post to reflect this, while also noting that Heimdall works well on Windows, not just Linux?

As always, thank you for making the latest baseband files available on your Google Drive, and for your assistance across the forum.

Cheers!

I can't get it working. I flashed 4 times using Odin, 2 times using Heimdall. All show sucess as result but my basebandversion still shows the old version.

Does anybody recognize this? Do you have advice?

you MUST flash it 2 times in a row, flash it once & boot straight back into download mode and flash again, then boot normally. Are you doing that?

If you miss going into download mode the 2nd time you must start all over again and flash another 2x consecutively

Yes, that's it. Thanks!

I had some problems entering download mode. I tried volume-down + home + power (in that order) and that didn't work for me. So I entered the download-mode using the phones restart menu (CM 13), which made me do a normal boot between the two flashes.

But after your post I tried home + volume-down + power, that worked and now everything is ok.

FYI: Should anyone be experiencing wifi issues.

My wifi connection had been playing up for about the last month, the connection to my wifi modem (Netgear DGND3700v2) had been dropping out randomly, but normally managing to reconnect itself, though more recently I had to turn on aeroplane mode and turn off to get it connected again. Also I think the connection strength was a bar lower, in general.

But since I flashed nightly of 0816 it has been unusable. I had been on CPD1 baseband.

I therefore flashed the newer CPE1 modem (though I was not sure if this would fix wifi) and it has been rock steady with a higher signal level for over an hour, so appears to be fixed!

Thanks again @Redyamesg

edit: after going out it has dropped the connection and struggled to connect, one time, so not entirely fixed but is much much better. PS channels are not to crowded, will have to investigate further
edit 2: seems there was maybe some interference on the channel I was on as since changing channel there has been no loss of signal :) Oh well at least it made me update to latest modem!
Edit 3: nope it's still not connecting automatically as well as it used to, have to do it manually, with a bit of luck there will be a new modem in Italian firmware below that will work better with latest CM13 nightlies!

What happens if I leave the Repartition box unchecked? Because when it is checked, Odin gives me an error message: can't open the specified file (line 1831).
