How to install MoDaCo Rom, and ROOT access?
THX for the answer and help
Information about the phone:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
Kernel version: 2.6.27-430d1aea
Build number: 2.73.116.61
hmm the latest update I know from t-mobile was 2.73.110.26. wasn't it ? Can anyone verify this.
In Poland. But this is a Hungarian one
look for how to create a GOLD CARD first, its sticky in hero section, thats the way i did. i just read the forum and follow i didnt have any problems so far.
Which solution to use, if i want root acces?
If i had root access, i can install custom rom for example MoDaCo custom rom?

Just did what he said above... Or use the links you've already found. After that you can install Modaco (BTW you don't have to have root access, Modaco's ROM's are preroot-ed).

Hi, as the title says I have I9300XXDLJ4 and I would like to update to Indian I9300XXDLJ5; as this is not available with my CSC, I'd like to update just the ROM and the modem.
Is there a way to do this? It should be enough, as the RIL files should be in ROM, right?
Thank you and regards!
flash via odin

Good Question :highfive: :silly:
By the way..are you trying to increase your post count????
Just asking..
Anyways..there are atleast 4 threads with the same purpose in the General Section (Last I counted)..and numerous others asking the same question which you have asked...
Don't you think...creating a new thread just for it was pointless??
[EDIT] After having another look ...I believe you don't want to flash the kernel...for it you have 2 options:
Flash via odin: Download the firmware ..extract the tar.md5...delete the boot.img from the archive..pack it again in a tar file and flash
Flash via CWM..download the ROM..delete the boot.img from the zip....go inside META-INF>COM>GOOGLE>ANDROID>updater-script and delete the commands that flash the kernel..

Yup! There is always a way to do it on XDA.
You can use Odin to flash the firmware to your phone... it's much better than Kies trust me.
Here is the complete step by step guide to update to the latest firmware.

If I were to purchase the developer edition of the s4 directly from samsung, would I be able to use CWM or TWRP?

The Developer Edition has an unlocked bootloader. You can install whichever recovery of your liking.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
As a Developer Edition Owner I would strongly suggest making a Nandroid Backup before you do anything (modding, tweaking, etc). As of this moment we do not have any leaked firmware or images for the phone - a few devs/modders are trying to create an ODIN flashable package to restore us as close to stock as possible.
Baseband and Build should be JDQ39.I545OYUAMDK/I545OYUAMDK.
Either flash a recovery via Download mode and ODIN - my preference is Philz Touch Recovery - then flash root or maybe try motochopper to root. That way you can pull the partitions for backup (this will include stock recovery, stock boot, stock (but rooted) system, etc).

Ok, now i'm really confused.
I'm currently on 757 firmware and I want to flash the GPe on it. What exactly do I have to do?
LordManhattan's thread simply requires me to flash some files but the GPe thread needs me to flash boot.img or something.
Can anyone coach me step by step? I've never tried to flash a darn phone with so many prerequisites... It was so much easier playing with the LG and hTc

From stock 757 with unlocked bootloader:
Copy ROM zip to sdcard of phone
Flash boot.img from the ROM zip using flashtool and fastboot mode. the boot.img will have recovery already in it
Boot the phone into recovery, vol + or - while booting
Factory reset (or format data and wipe caches
Flash the ROM zip from recovery
Reboot into system
I assume you have followed lordmanhattan's guide and have:
Downgraded
Rooted
Backed up TA
Unlocked bootloader
Updated firmware to the latest

So it is okay to directly downgrade from 757?
And what do you mean by updated firmware to the latest?
And the boot.img in the ROM package, does it already contain the recovery?

You want to downgrade to root? if so then yes - see my downgrade sticky thread in the general section for a guide
After rooting/backing up TA/unlocking bootloader you will want to flash the latest firmware again to get the new baseband, and a few other things else any custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROM's won't boot and/or will have IMEI issues

Ok to be honest, im trying to flash that ROM because the recent 757 firmware was supposed to fix the sound bug issue. It worked for others' ZU except for mine. Pretty pissed that all SONY said to me was to bring my phone down for a repair, hence i was hoping i could fix it by flashing another ROM.
I downgraded to .532 then updated it back to 757. Seems like it is a hardware problem...
WOW. I'M AN IDIOT. I DECIDED TO WASH MY PHONE UNDER THE TAP BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE DIRTY. AND SOMEHOW, THAT FIXED THE SOUND BUG. SOMEONE PLEASE SLAP ME IN THE FACE.
Close this thread please, I'm an idiot. Thanks blueether for your help!
You don't read very well do you?
All the steps needed were there with an explanation of why (where needed).
Next time you you need/want to flash your ZU take the time to read the steps, and ask questions if you aren't sure about a step or why some said to do something a certain way or to see a certain thread...
ps good to see you have the sound working again

But just to confirm, does all boot.img definitely contains the recovery also?

No. Only custom (CM11, PA, PAC, GPe etc.) and modified ROMs (DoggROM, Monx etc.)

So am I right to say that the boot.img from the GPe rom in the development forum already contains the recovery?

Correct, but only the tweaked version. That's an isolated case though, so the rest of them will have recovery.

Hi...I'm in the same position as you...can you please explain how exactly you managed to fix it?
For reference, my C6802 was on stock .757 firmware, then I flashed the unofficial SlimKat rom and kernel from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712065. Everything works in the rom except it doesnt connect to my mobile network.
Thanks a lot!

Not the same issue ( or at least shouldn't be).
In about phone settings do you have a valid imei no. and baseband?
Have you tried any other ROMs?

Thanks for the response blueether! In the phone settings it says Unknown for both baseband and imei. I found this thread where you helped another person with almost the same problem I guess, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738141) and you have told him to follow these steps:
"Just do as has been said a thousand times...
Downgrade to .532 - see my downgrade thread
Root using either [NUT]'s dual recovery or bin4ries tool - see thread in step above or LordManhattans guide
Backup the TA - see LordManhattons guide
Upgrade to latest FTF
Unlock bootloader
Root using jackies099's kernel
..."
So I'm downloading a .532 FTF and will try out these steps once the download finishes in a while. As I understand, when I upgrade to the latest FTF (.757 now?) the imei/baseband should return.

IMEI/baseband should be fine if you were on 757 and flashed slim.
You could just try reflashing any 4.4 FTF you have laying around while you wait for the other one to download

Not sure why they vanished. Unfortunately I'm sort of a noob and don't have any FTFs lying around. I read some more threads and now I'm wondering what I should try first?
A - Flash 290 FTF then downgrade to 532
or
B - Straightaway flash 532 FTF
or
C - Flash 757 FTF

"flash 290" was written a long time ago when it was the 'current' firmware. I would flash 757 first and see how that works out.
Hello guys,
I am currently on LOS and planning to go back to stock ROM.
LOS was flashed over the downgraded firmware necessary to unlock the bootloader.
Would it be advisable to flash the latest stock over it or should I rather go back to the downgraded ROM and upgrade it through OTAs? Are there any partitions flashed through OTA that would be otherwise missed by TWRP?
Also, can anyone recommend a debloated, optimized Android 8 ROM for this phone?
Thank you for your time!

There are TWRP flashable zips you can use.
See the H930 KDZ thread for instructions on how to flash them.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076
Be sure to use the stable TWRP linked in the WTF thread, not the new beta experimental TWRP listed elsewhere.

Quick question please, are the ROMs in your thread upgradable through ota should LG release one?
I noticed you mentioned after each build that they're not meant to be upgraded.
I may have a case of the stupids here but does it mean that once you flash one of them you're stuck on that version?
PS thanks a lot for taking the time to answer these questions. I appreciate your help a lot ^^
