How to downgrade modem J500F (J5) safely? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a J500F, it is on AOL3 Firmware,
I need to unlock it to use any network, but I have to downgrade the modem,
Where can I find modems, or how do I extract a modem to flash through odin?
Will it be safe to just flash a full stock rom with older modem? or it will brick?
Thanks!

Nevermind,
Just flashed full stock rom with older modem and then factory reset.

After downgrade you have to do a wipe data/factory reset and then it work!!!

Well you can't access 3g because your apn details haven't been entered. Easy fix.
Flashing any firmware is the same process whether upgrading it downgrading. It not like an iPhone where you can't downgrade (without shsh blobs that is).

Yes, they are correct. i called the helpline last night to install the config settings but still cant connect.
I think i need a different modem (xxki4). is their a way to flash only the modem and save the downgrade process??

You can flash any modem you like without having to reflash firmware. You can flash zip versions in cwm recovery or tar versions in Odin, in the phone section.

Emergency Calls Only Problem

Hi i have this problem for 2 days and i dont know why. I was on lollipop cm12 and i change to back to noot rom there i didn't have signal and i flash a cm11 than there i have signal but only with emergency call only. From there i tried to flash modems and official samsung firmware but nothing helped. What can i do ?????
It might a kernel issue, but as you don’t give much information, it’s difficult for people to help you. In order to increase your chance to be answered, you should try to be as specific as possible and describe your full software configuration: rom, kernel, recovery, modem etc…
now i am on cm12 week 7 with boeffla kernel, cwm recovery and my baseband is i9300xxemg4 , where can i find my modem ???

You need to flash back to stock with odin make sure its 4.3 stock rom then if you still have no signal flash this patched modem and kernel with a custom recovery >> https://drive.google.com/folderview...=sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8#lis << make sure to factory reset after flashing if you get a bootloop.

Anyone have/make Odin installable OF6 Modem?

....if so, would it be ok to install it over and OB1 rom?
There is a thread on how to install OF6 without a pc in the general section. Modem is in there. Also, I had to nandroid back to twisted lollipop V7 because I forgot something and it worked with the modem so yes it does worked with modem and bootloader installed.

Difference between flashing a rom and firmware?

I had flashed various custom rom by simply using rom and gapps but never heard about flashing firmware. Is flashing a firmware different from flashing rom.
Is it necessary to flash firmware if i want to flash a new rom?

If you came from the latest miui(7.5.4 onwards) then no.
Firmware is responsible for the modem, sensors, etc.
You always have to use latest firmware from MIUI ROM.. But of course you don't have to download full ROMs because there are people like @Psy_Man or @TheStrix which are extracting those firmwares for us. So thanks to them you can flash just a small zip file around 40MB.
