Just noticed CM11 official for hltevzw is now getting monthly builds... funny, we have no CM12 or CM13!
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hltevzw&type=
It got me thinking, though... there are a ton of KK/based roms that are very smooth. In fact, I still think kitkat is the best base for this device as far as stability and battery life. Just look at the size of some of the custom ROMS like DU (180-190 MB) and the fact that they boot in under 20 seconds... even on the initial boot. Crazy efficiency.
I am sure that most people here disagree and interest in running CM11 is pretty low. But it still seems like it should be an option... especially since it is the most current official CM we have (last build is 6-12-2016)
The problem is that the radio in Kitkat doesn't work when coming from OF1. Theoretically, it should work if you ODIN back to KK... but that is not an option given the root/unlock scenarios we have.
So, question is...how do we get the radio working on CM11 coming from OF1... hmmm
I like your thinking mightysween. I saw the same thing last week and wondered myself. Can this be done?

It would seem that flashing the modem would work... but I tried two KK modems with no luck.
Will post some logcats, and maybe we can figure out the right combo.
IDK I am now strongly considering downgrading to 4.4.2. There are a whole lot more stable ROMS available for KitKat than Lollipop for this device. I might pull the trigger this weekend. Currently investigating viability.
Any luck on this?

Not yet... but wow. If you put a new looking theme on any of the refined CM11 based stuff (like DU), people would be abuzz about how smooth and responsive this "new" rom is. I think these older devices are just happier with the older android versions.
Just can't seem to make the radio work...
Have tried as far back as NC4/NK1 modems... but they either don't work at all or exhibit the same problems as OF1.
I wonder if @Moepda might have any insight having worked on sm900 ROMS through the 4.4 to 5.1 updates...
Seems that there must be a modem that would work...or is the newer bootloader version a problem in running 4.4 based roms?
Well... Stupid me never checked to see if ODIN flashing the modems was actually working. It is not! I have tried both tar.md5 versions and directly flashing the modem.bin, and while it appears to work and ODIN says "pass", the modem stays on OF1.
So that's the issue...
That said, it is not a radio problem in general, it is an LTE registration issue. So, when set to 3g only it works AOK!
If I can figure out how to get the flash of NK1 or NC4 modem to stick, I believe LTE would work...

There used to be flashable modems here on XDA, but all the links are dead. I suppose I could just make one and try.
FWIW, I am running an OLD Dirty Unicorns moepda build from 2014, and it is quite refreshing after so long with cm12 and cm13. Fast, stable, and seemingly lacking nothing I use compared to CM12/13

No steps at all, really... it just works. Flashed and then switch to 3g preferred.
I don't need LTE... so I haven't spent much time trying to figure it out. Both this old DU and CM11 monthly are working fine as long as LTE is shut off
Obviously, CM11 is available from get.cm

I am going to give this a whirl. I have always had trouble with finding the right gapps for KitKat though. Which did you select?
Notice much drop off in using 3G instead of LTE?
BTW In an earlier post I mentioned I was going to downgrade. Well, that's not really possible and you might already know that. I attempted 4.4.2 and was abruptly stopped by the bootloader. I did read though that 4.4.4 was possible, but if we can do all this and get a stable ROM that has GPS and Bluetooth functional why bother?

I am on wifi about 90% of the time, and when I am not it is usually while driving. So having only 3g doesn't bother me.
Bluetooth and GPS seem to work fine... GPS is certainly faster and more stable than LP/MM

Oh, and I just use open gapps nano... works fine
I take that back... You need to set the preferred network to LTE, let it connect (and then fail), and THEN set to 3G in order for it to stick.
Love the feature set from DU, but have to say that the 6-12-2016 nightly is pretty smooth.
So is LTE working on the 4.4.4 build?

The reason for this thread is that I'm hoping a dev would convert this rom so it works on our beloved 7105.
Is it even possible to port this rom over?
Anyway, would love to see it as there's a lack of roms for the 7105 compared to the 7100.

If it's on the A.T&T thread, then you can flash that Rom. Most of the Roms I use are from that Thread. Just make sure you have the right modem. I haven't flashed this particular ROM yet, but I'm getting to it. The new P.A builds have just come out, so I've flashed them this morning to give it a try. Just make sure you have Nandroid and you will be set to go.

Got my Modem from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031575
Hope this helps. Just make sure you flash the right one of course. I would also recommend Flashing the latest Neak Kernel for AOSP/AOKP Roms. It seems to work the best. Also and off topic here, the latest Roobox Nightly has been released, just search GOOMANGER on your phone. That now has Halo and works really well. The main bug is the Expand screen part doesn't work properly, but everything else is really sweet. The PacMan Rom, the halo still has the SMS bug. If you get a new SMS and you click on it through HALO, it will exit out of the app you were in. So keep that in mind. Going to give the XYELon Rom a go tonight and see how that fairs.

Hi there, I've flashed pretty much every ROM that there is on the AT&T section and all have worked. I did flash with the proper modem on all of them. However, that said if most of the time if I didn't flash the latest NEAK kernel then at times I would get no reception at all. With the latest builds of RootBox, and Pacman i didn't bother flashing the kernel and it worked just fine. The T-Mobile Roms just don't work. I've tried to flash a few and they just don't even flash.
However, just keep in mind that some ROMS will change your build.prop like Skynote and Pacman, so you have to edit them. Also with Rootbox, you have to change the MMS.apk as the one built in is buggy. So i usually use the one I've ripped from the P.A builds as they work just fine.
In short. Yes. These do work for the n7105. Just flash the proper modem and you will be set.

If you are using CWM, it always tends to fail on you. I use TWRP and haven't had an issue since. Flash back to a stable ROM and install TWRP through GOO manager. Then flash it using TWRP. Be sure to do a full wipe. Then advanced cache and dalvik cache wipe. Twice for both. That is what I do make sure I have a clean system, then install the Rom, Gapps, Modem, Kernel. Kernel shouldn't be an issue with Pacman. Use the one provided.

I've been running AOSP 4.2 on my S4 for quite a while with no issues. Upon trying to upgrade to 4.3 though, boots take upwards of 5 minutes and the baseband isn't recognized (it literally shows "Baseband Version: Unknown"). I then tried to revert to one of the various 4.2 ROMs still out there, and am encountering quite a bit of general instability (lots of FCs), however, the baseband works fine. Any idea what is going on?
I should add that though I am using the ME7 modem, everything else is MDK and that these symptoms are pervasive through several different ROMs.
Update:
When trying to switch to RUIM/SIM in the Radio Settings, I get the following logcat:
Code:
/CdmaSubscriptionListPreference( 1762): Setting Cdma subscription source failed
I/Use2GOnlyCheckBoxPreference( 1762): get preferred network type, exception=com.android.internal.telephony.CommandException: RADIO_NOT_AVAILABLE
have you gone into network settings and verified that your subscription is set to RUIM/SIM instead of NV?
Did you compile the AOSP yourself? What build are you using? Project Elite's baseband and network all work out of the box no problems. I'm not sure if they posted it yet though.

the baseband used in all 4.3 builds I've used was MDK.
Me7 baseband is not as good as some people like to claim. It is buggy, and in my opinion it was rushed to release because Verizon wanted to quick kick everyone in the nuts. I tried me7 a few times and everytime I had worse spottier service.
The project elite aosp I was talking about is actually full aosp. And I haven't seen a post for it yet.
Another thing I've noticed in general... What recovery are you using? I don't trust CWM(any variation) at all anymore. I've seen too many installs act up and just not work right at all with CWM and after trying it on twrp 2.5.0.2 the same exact installer worked fine. :silly: I don't know why, but regardless the layout of CWM is piss poor anyway. If you are using CWM, click the link in my sig to go to my GE build. In the second post I have flashable recoveries posted. You can try one out just to see and if you get the same results just flash back to your desired/current recovery:good:
I was having the same problem with my own cm10.2 builds. I blew out my device and vendor repos several times and finally decided that there had to be something in frameworks that doesn't like the dev edition radios. The nightlies wouldn't even work. I ultimately wound up using the official cwm (non-loki only) and was finally able to change from nv to ruim/sim.
Sent from my SCH-I545 Dev Edition using xda app-developers app
So you used the non-loki'd CWM to do what fixed it? (I presume simply having it installed didn't fix it automatically)
On the dev edition, the general consensus in the beginning was that philz touch(cwm based) was the recovery to use probably because he offered a non-loki version. We don't need loki fortunately because of our unlocked bootloader. I later found out that official cwm was also not lokified. If you have the retail version, unfortunately you are stuck with the loki recovery. I was just suggesting that you might try a different cwm since they are not all created equal.
Edit: I guess what I was really trying to say is just try another recovery. Not necessarily one over the other (cwm vs. twrp). It's not the non-loki part that will make the difference. Hopefully you'll find one that works for you. But who would have known that would cause it.

I was looking forward to moving on up to KitKat with PAC ROM however I simply got bootloops after flashing both nightlies and the dr87 kernel. I'm on ZVA and I am to understand it would brick your phone to the point of returning to full stock without flashing the ZV8 radios or the dr87/Furnace kernel, but to get stuck in a bootloop lost me.
I was also surprised at how iffy it can be about getting into recovery.
However, I do look forward to checking the rom out when I can get things straight.
Edit: One more shot has it booting into setup. Used Furnace kernel this time as opposed to dr87's but it might've been something in the way I was flashing the ROM anyway.

I wish I had known that kernel didn't work sooner, as it doesn't really warn against that in the OP...
I didn't flash the 03/04 nightly. My first thought was that it was the problem.
After sorting all this however, I was annoyed to find that the touch screen wasn't responding in the first application I installed, so I just went back to what I had. I'm sure it'll get worked out eventually (or I'll read about a fix soon enough, either way).

Really? I had no issues on 3/3 nightly, but 3/4 was all kinds of borked. It's SUPER early though, hell I'm amazed that it's as stable as it is, seeing as how it's the first few nightlies.
So I've been working on my dna for about 4 days now trying to get a kit-kat rom that has working wifi on it. But as I've read I don't think one exist. Can anyone confirm this? I was on a NOS rom before that worked perfectly.
Also, been trying to update my baseband (to fix wifi?) but nothing seems to work. I keep getting a fail message when the tool kits try push the zip through.
Error messages and phone details are attached.
Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions you guys can offer.

To varying degrees, WiFi works on all KitKat ROMs, with the exception of CM11 (at least that's been my experience). I've tried all of them, the two that I've found to be the best are Slimkat and AOSPA. Both of those worked best on my DNA.
As far as updating your radio is concerned, couldn't you use an app like Flashify?
In the end, I actually use a 4.2.2 ROM because everything works - and the WiFi/LTE is very stable. I currently use ViperDNA 2.5.2. Having the latest and greatest ROM isn't all that awesome if some of it doesn't work or is unstable.

As for Roms, this whole mess started when I wanted to get the newer "Video Highlight" Feature that allows you to add your own music.

My preference is ViperDNA 2.5.2. It's a Sense5 4.2.2 ROM with the Aroma installer. So you can install or not install as much or as little of the entire package as you like. I happen to like light ROMs, so I remove almost everything and only install stuff I use.
Haven't used any sense based KitKat roms, but I've never had a WiFi issue on cm or aosp based kk roms.
I use the viper 3.0.1 not updating to the newest version yet I'm letting them work some more bugs out.

While trying to research RIL/baseband for CM13, I have tested virtually every ROM for n900v with various combinations of KK and LP modems.
So far, these are the only two that have worked for me...and I must say that the first works VERY well... tempted to use their sources to build out CM13.
1. Dirty Unicorns v9.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/orig-development/rom-dirty-unicorns-v9-0-t3006601)
With the OF1 modem/non-hlos, DU 9.8 has working LTE right out of the box, and seems to be a very mature ROM.
2. LiquidSmooth 4.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v4-0-lollipop-t3008474)
Liquidsmooth is the only other ROM I have been able to have establish reliable cellular and mobile data. Also using the OF1 modems, but LTE is NOT working reliably. Setting to 3G as preferred works fine and persists through reboots.
3. UPDATE: CM11 OFFICIAL works if you install and boot Dirty Unicorns first, then wipe and flash CM11.. **not working after further testing**
4. CM13...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...opment/rom-temaseks-unofficial-build-t3364382
I have been on my own modded version of Temaseks CM13 for over a week and have had no issues whatsoever. Rock solid.
Anyone else have anything working?
Thats awesome thanks for sharing the information.
What does "non-hlos" mean? Dirty Unicorns looks pretty nice until a real CM rom comes out.

It is a .bin file that is part of the radio
... Nothing you will need to worry about unless you have been flashing different ones already
If you ODINed OF1 to root/unlock, you should be all set to run this.
Yes, it is LP 5.1.1 and is very well put together. I am still trying to figure out why it runs so well... Looks like a combo of straight AOSP with cherry-picked CM12 features.
I flashed the OFI partial firmware back when I put Jasmine on my phone. Should that be enough?

No..you would need to be unlocked to install this which would have required an ODIN flash to OB6 or OF1

Probably didn't need that partial firmware then. You must have flashed OF1 and rooted at some point, so yes it should be good to go.
if you wanna try, backup your current ROM first in TWRP!

I was on 4.4.2 Kitkat with root and went to Jasmine 6.1.
Yup, already have a backup since I already tried CM 13 once with no success. :good: Thanks!
so right now i can wipe data/cache/dalivk and factory reset then install either of the above zips if im on OF1 BL-Unlocked?
grabbing http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/f...hltevzw_5.1.1_20151113-1513.v9.8-OFFICIAL.zip as i type this
which gapps?
Hmmm... you may still be on NC4 or NK1 modems. I am not sure how coming from 4.4.2 would work...and I didn't think unlock was even possible on 4.4.2 yet.

I have done just that with about 20 different ROMS already. So yeah
BTW every ROM has worked great except for the radios (no cell and/or 3g/LTE)

I use open gapps nano...but would imagine any 5.1 should work.
mightysween thank-you so much for doing all this testing.
that is so awesome as its been running through my head for about a solid 24hrs.
i was getting ready to do some more research and go get the best cm 12 out.
ill test on mine with the dirty unicorns 9.8
will report any issues with anything i notice
what about NFC and GPS.....Camera?
nfc i read you have to something more then just disable on some other thread. not sure if it pertains but i wouldnt be surprised

GPS and camera seem fine, NFC doesn't appear to work...I know there were some workarounds for various ROMS

im pretty sure i read somewhere about nfc showing that it was off but really being on. there was a fix but i think it involved a zip or two

Yeah...as far as this thread goes, mainly looking for working radios as that seems to be the stumbling block for hltevzw until we get CM13 running

makes sense to me
It is worth noting that DU 9.8 is a dead project... so there aren't going to be any changes unless a new maintainers comes along

Other than these two, every other ROM has major radio issues. All of the CM11 based stuff seems to connect LTE/3G just fine, but will not hold it...the radio constantly cycles. All of the CM13 stuff has radio connected at the base level, but needs some tweaks in order to make it available to the OS properly.
Anyone else have anything working?

Dirty Unicorns wouldn't pick up 4G LTE on Straight Talk (Verizon)
Only data working with Dirty Unicorns and that MVNO was 1G
Screen went blank while calling with speaker phone on and wouldn't come back on unless the power button
was pressed in constantly while I changed the display settings to only blank at 30 minutes.
Samsung SM-N900V OF1 rooted and then bootloader unlocked,
did not flash OF1 after the bootloader unlock and then straight to Dirty Unicorns latest version.
