Edited: problem solved. See my last post to the solution I found.
I don't know if it works in Odin cause I haven't tried it, but there is a link somewhere in the Skynote port ROM thread that has the modem as a zip flashable in recovery. It DOES work as I am on MJ9 on Paranoid Android 4.4.2.

Well from "Krowley3's" Sophisticated ROM thread, you can flash it via ODIN with this file: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198557
Thanks for letting me know its working for you on PA.

No problem. Try flashing it then. I'm sure it should work.
Well I ended up flashing the file...the first time was through TWRP and it didnt change anything. The next time I tried through ODIN and it gave me an "unknown baseband" that a lot of people are reporting. I ended up with no data, had to flash back to stock and start all over again using vramc3.
Numzi, how did you get it working on your phone?
I'm running the new firmware with CM11. I flashed it in cwm and it works fine

For anyone reading this thread and had trouble like me with the modem, try flashing this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48640/android/VRUEMJ9_zif.zip
I flashed it using latest twrp on slim rom/slimkat 4.4.2, and it worked perfectly.

OK, I'm probably gonna sound like the biggest noob ever... but here it goes:
I never made a nandroid backup when I flashed my first rom and I have been flashing different ones since I flashed my first one. About a week ago, I flashed AOKP Milestone 5 ICS Rom. It was running PERFECT until today. I opened the Youtube app and while I was watching a video, the Tab just froze and rebooted. This resulted in a bootloop. I don't have any other roms on the internal memory and it didn't work when I tried reflashing the rom. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
Again, sorry for being so stupid and thanks in advance.
Did you wipe data and dalvik cache? Other than that, you can download the stock rom from www.sammobile.com and flash it with odin.

I did wipe but I couldn't find the stock rom from the website, could you give me the direct link to the website?
Here is the link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ . type P7500 and you should get a list with different regions and their latest updates.
This happened to me too. I tried flashing different ROMs as well as flashed CWM again, but only flashign a stock ROM works. Something about a damaged bln.

OK, I have downloaded the rom, now how do I flash it onto the device? My guess is with Odin.

Hello everyone,
It has been more than one year that I've been using Samsung-based custom ROMs on my S3, but now when I want to use an AOSP ROM, I can't make calls with them!
I've tried Cyanogenmod 10.2 (latest weekly) and SlimBean 4.3 (latest stable) and when I try calling someone, the call ends immediately. If I try opening the phone app -> settings -> Additional settings, I get a "Call settings error: Network or SIM card error". This does not happen when I use the stock ROM or a Samsung-based ROM (like Wanamlite or Omega, which I've used the most).
What should I do? I'd appreciate any help!

Seemed like a good idea - I tried flashing 3 different versions (via Odin) and none of them made the calls work
Maybe I'm just using the wrong ones?
Can anyone link me the latest modems available for the international S3 that works with the 4.3.x android versions and the new EFS partition formats? I'd appreciate it so much, as I can't find anything past 4.1.2 versions :good:

Are you on CM based ROM? If yes you need modem without RIL.
EDIT: Sorry you mentioned that.
I am on MDK with Twrp and when I attempt to use a TW 4.3 ROM the phones dialer will not work. I atempt to make or receive a call and the phone will go black and become unresponsive. After the call fails the phone will fiction properly. I still have data and SMS messaging works. I have done clean installs with formating the internal memory. When I flash to a 4.3 asop ROM everything works. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Okay so I recently decided to to upgrade to the 4.4.2 KitKat root through this video http://youtu.be/AIRoQKTLeJQ and I was running the stock deodexed rom that was provided. I then looked up some compatible custom roms and came across several that were supposedly compatible with NC5 and Safestrap 3.72. However, on most of them (Echoe Rom, Bajarom, Phoenix Rom, etc) the wifi does not turn on even after rebooting. Bajarom it would work (it would take FOREVER to turn on though) until after I restored my nandroid backup (just data) from before I upgraded to 4.4.2 via the video. Then the wifi function would stop... Echoe Rom and Phoenix Rom both had a Galaxy S5 port that had S5 apps, themes, etc. These ones wouldn't have any network access at all. WiFi and 4G would not work. I would still have a signal so I could send texts and call people. I tried flashing modules and modems and NC5 fixes but nothing would work... Does anybody know how to fix this WiFi problem?? Or does anybody know of a good, clean, custom TouchWiz rom that has working wifi? This would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Did you flash modules after rom? That's the only way your wifi is going to work.

Modules Needed??
Does anybody have any idea how I would flash Echoe Rom with the S5 port to my phone with Safestrap 3.72. I have the NC5 bootloader and I'm wondering what modules I need to flash in order to have working wifi AND data/calling/service. When I flash Echoe Rom my baseband version changes to NC2... Does this change the modules I need to flash? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could try flashing that wifi fix, which will set your modem as NC2. Then flash the NC5 modem and you'll have the NC5 baseband and working wifi (this is what I do for Hyperdrive).

Hyperdrive is excellent. I Love it. The link and everything you will need to know can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724 I have tried other ROM's also, Baja, GruesomeWolf, just to name a couple and I have found Hyperdrive to be the most stable.
This is a recovery flashable, stock boot.img, pulled from freeza's stock rooted rom, located here. It's completely unchanged from stock, I just made it flashable. After flashing, You may, or may not have to modify your build.prop to set secure storage to "false." See freeza's thread here, for more info on this.
Use this at your own risk, I assume no responsibility.

Numerous, for example, it will allow you to return to the stock kernel, for troubleshooting purposes, if you expect an incompatibility, or issue with a custom kernel, without having to flash an entire stock rooted rom, or downloading an entire rom, just for the boot image.
By the way I want to thank you for this its a blessing we have ppl who do this for us with that said im a noob should I flash this I have the nh7 modem I flashed the nh7 stockish rom then I restored my backup for sacs moar rom

Can you provide more info. If you were in a bootloop, how did you set the file to false? Did you flash the fix, in freeza's OP? If so, that's likely the problem. That build.prop is for a previous version.
I did flash the fix. How else can I get the new modem flashed without bootlooping? My modem/baseband is NH7. Just can get the NH7 stock kernel on without looping

That's the problem. That fix is fo MJ4. Also, what rom are you on? I'm not sure if the NH7 kernel, is compatible with NC5 roms. I know for a fact, NC5 kernels, are incompatible with NH7 roms (no display).
Your best bet is to Odin the NC7 tar, if you want all NC7, or Odin NC7, and restore your TWRP backup, of your previous rom. Your baseband, will be NH7, but your kernel will be whatever was included in your previous/preferred rom.
I'm on sacs rom. My baseband/modem is currently NH7 and have no problems
