[Q] Flashing Modem/Bootloader issue - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Good aftternoon,
I've been trying to update my bootloader/modem from here
Edgars Latest BOOTLOADER/MODEM Packages
Choosing 900t and downloading it and following the directions for UVU1BNH5 it still shows up as NF6 no matter how many times I flash in the about settings.
I don't see any errors in Odin 3 and it flashes fine. I've pulled the battery before and after multiple times.
Anyone run into this and have a fix?

What shows up as NF6? The build number will always show as NF6, but the modem should be updated.

Thanks,
It's the baseband number that's still showing up NF6. So it will always say that but update the modem?

Yeah it didn't flash. Where did you find Odin? Maybe its an older version.

Maybe wait till beanstown releases his version. The thread you posted says to do it multiple times if it doesn't work.

May be it a bad download. Just flashed mine an hour ago without any problem.

Your screen shot just shows you loading the modem file, i.e. before you press "start" to actually try writing it to your phone. We need an Odin log or screen shot after you press the start button to see how Odin handles it.
It's common practice to write a modem or radio file twice as they are fussy. And the bootloader @ Android 4.3 is more restrictive and will sometimes return an auth failure if you flash the modem alone. The workaround if that happens is to first address timing e.g. try a different USB cable and port, disable firewall and malware programs, etc. And if necessary, flash the full stock firmware that contains the desired modem. The latter when Odin simply refuses to flash the modem only.
But first we need to see if Odin is succeeding or not. And your screenshot was taken before the write cycle finished.
Also, confirm that your device is in fact a 900T model, not another variant e.g. 900A, 900F, etc.

I had similar problems every time I tried to update - I found the best solution for me was to flash the entire TAR - everything - not just firmware and modem but the full tar.
The downside is you have to reroot - and you have to re-flash recovery - but that doesn't take too much time - bottom line, I usually have to flash the full stock tar file once - sometimes twice - but never more than two -
I also found that I had to always use Odin 3.09 - but from the screen shot you posted, it looks like youi have that version of Odin anyway - so maybe try flashing the full stock tar and see if that helps.
Good Luck...

Yea, not sure what it is I gave it a couple days just to settle and tried downloading the bootloader and modem and when I tried mounting them it md5 failed. I used an older download of the same modem and low and behold it flashed successfully first try. Am now BHN5. Still don't understand why it works part of the time. Thanks for all your help
