Hi all. It's been a few years since I've done this. How do I go about getting the 9205 Roms to work on my M819N? I tried the regular flash in Phillz Touchwiz and it's not working for me. I used to do this all the time but I can't remember what I was supposed to do for the life of me. I'm going to try and flash the stock I9205 firmware in Odin and then go from there. Any input would help. I'm sure there's 1 minor step I'm forgetting somewhere.

If you are rooted I just used Odin to install twrp recovery and just flashed what ever ROMs are available

Im running Gt Roms on a Metro Variant. Have been for a long time.
Follow the O.P. Here.
You need to download Silesh's TWRP and flash it in Odin. Use that version only. After that your good to go.

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?

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.

I have a Sprint Mega SPH-L600 that I got with a 4.4 ROM that I just cannot seem to return to stock. I have tried all of Silesh's GT9205 ROM's with no avail. I have tried everything I can think of. I've downloaded every version of the stock 4.2 I can find but it always boot loops. I have also tried all of the GSM ported ROM's but they are the only thing that will flash to my phone. I have the custom Philz recovery that's how I'm flashing the ROMs. In download mode I don't see anything about knox. I don't believe I have it. My modem is still running the NA7. Is there any way to downgrade? My main goal is to open the diagnostic ports. But the CDMA dialer codes are non-existent in this GSM ROM. I am trying to flash this phone to Page Plus. What a hassle! Is there any hope Obi Wan Kenobi?!?! Thank you.
Be forwarned by using gt9205 roms on a sprint sph-l600 will mess up the wifi and lte thats why I made the mistake on 1st day of purchased the mega luckily I was able to get mega replaced no charge roms for sprint sph-l600 are not the same as other rom!

Haven't signed in to XDA since 2012 LOL. But anyway I have been seeing a few post from some users with a little problem after flashing a custom ROM. Mostly with an AOSP ROM (CM11, AOKP) Etc. This problem only seems to occur after taking the sprint KitKat OTA and then flashing TWRP with Auto Rec, Followed by flashing a custom rom. I've had this same problem when flashing CM11 to unlock my sprint variant for T-Mobile. The sound was completely gone.!!! Zip Ziltch!! No where to be found. Couldn't place calls because the call screen would go black and then come back with a call ended error. I've been searching for a solution for this for the longest and it seems like on every forum when everyone has this issue and needs help there is no response from any member. So I'm here to help in any way that I can. I found this solution after unlocking 3 G2's yesterday.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SOMEHOW BRICK OR FRY YOUR DEVICE. BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE YOU AGREE THAT EVERYTHING STEP YOU TAKE IS ON YOU. YOU.!! THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON 3 G2'S AND WAS CONFIRMED WORKING. I SUGGEST THAT NOOBS WAIT FOR A CONFIRMATION FROM A DEV BEFORE PROCEEDING. THANK YOU.
I AM GOING TO ASSUME YOU ARE BACK TO YOUR STOCK ROM BEFORE DOING THIS, IF NOT JUST GO INTO RECOVERY, DO A FULL WIPE AND FLASH THE ZIP.
Before you begin download the KitKat modem from this link h t t p : / / forums (dot) xda - developers (dot) com / showthread (dot) php?t=2705509 ( can't post links) and place the zip on the root of you internal storage.
STEP 1 - FLASH THE CUSTOM ROM OF YOUR CHOICE.
STEP 2 - AFTER FLAHSING DO NOT FLASH GAPPS JUST YET. BOOT INTO THE ROM AND COMFIRM THAT THE SOUND IS INDEED DEAD.
STEP 3 - TURN OFF THE DEVICE AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY.
STEP 4 - DO A FULL WIPE AND FLASH THE KITKAT MODEM YOU DOWNLOADED. I DIDNT FLASH GAPPS YET TIL AFTER I BOOTED UP AND CONFIRMED WORKING SOUND, BUT YOU CAN FLASH THEM IF YOU WANT *BE CAUTIOUS, IM NOT SURE IF IT WILL DAMAGE ANYTHING*
But after you boot back up do some sound checks. Place a call and you should now have working sound. Congrats!! You did it! I have done this method on 3 sprint G2's so far. Have not tried other variants but they all should work the same.

Hello, I have this problem on a Samsung Galaxy Epress GT 18730. Which modems would I have to use?
Are you running a custom ROM.? I can't really speak for the express. First you have to make sure the sound drivers are there. If they are then try and locate the latest modem. It might be hard to find since the express doesn't really get a lot of attention.

Non of the above link cause they're meant for the g2 so not the express. Try to find modems in the galaxy express thread if there are any but just dont flash this modem, dont even try it. It would definetly not work.

Yes i'm running cm11. But no one on the cm11 thread knows how to fix this rare problem. I brought my android back to the original firmware 100% and this problem is still there
. I think only a modem can help me, but I don't know where to get one.. One that will bring my sound back.

Did you flashed the whole system.tar or whut idk how it goes by samsung anymore :9. Can you like extract from the tar.md5 and flash the modem.bin in the Phone section if I am right. You can just extract the things from the tar.md5 by renaming tar.md5 to tar.
But i believed that if you flash the whole Tar.md5 thing from Samsung that it flashes all files inside
Just try to extract the modem.bin from the tar.md5 and flash it in phone

Lol yeah, a Netherlands one. Thanks for taking the time out to check on my replies to this thread sir!
I got this problem on my LS980 today.
Let me just quote my post from the rom thread:
"I got no sound after flashing this rom on my LS980. Came from Cloudy's rom, full wipe, flashed rom, gapps and the bloat removal script from the gapps thread. No sound, anywhere-not in youtube, not in music player, not in settings, can't be a hardware issue since I had no problems on previous rom and it doesn't work with headphones, too."
I wanted to flash the modem, but the link is dead ;( any ideas what to do? I'm still on custom rom.
EDIT: back-up from ZVE stock kit-kat solved the problem. Now, what should I do to flash custom rom and have working sound..?
I have a sprint note 3 running lollipop... my question is I rooted and tried installing a rom and I guess having lollipop hardly any of the roms will work ? Is there any reason too keep it rooted ?
Try sac23 ROMs. He has a S6 and a note 5 ROMs. I'm on the note 5 and it's running awesome.
ill try it thanks jag !
I forgot to mention that you must be on OC5 modem and bootloader to install these ROMs. There are links in the treads that will give you the files. You must connect phone to computer and run Odin 3.07 to flash modem and bootloader. The ROMs are zip files that you flash with TWRP. If you don't have TWRP, you can flash it with Odin as well. Good luck.

for touchwiz ? Have you tried CM roms or something like it? Most of the time if a rom is a little buggy the users within the thread have figured out how to get everything running smooth or the developer will shed some light.
so I got this galaxy s5 (free) to replace the S4 I had.. I'm on AT&T and the S5 is a T-Mobile device.. I unlocked and am currently using on AT&T without any issues.. I tried Cyanogenmod 12 on it.. had way too many Bluetooth music issues.. so I switched back to a rooted t-mobile stock.. which is terrible.. bluetooth music works great but everything is is painfully slow.. so I want to find a good fast custom rom (that also has proper bluetooth music support).. With so many device versions and so many custom roms I'm just a bit perplexed.. I found some that are debloated stock roms which seem like that would be good. but I'm just a bit confused on what parts I need to have as "t-mobile g900t" and which parts I don't have to have that way? so yeah this is a bit of a newbie question (even though I have run 4 or 5 custom roms in the past (original galaxy s and my s4 both had custom roms). .but those were always at&t devices on at&t network.. so was an easier choice..
at any rate.. looking for some tips on how to best find the right rom.. Would love to do this today/tomorrow.. avoid messing with the phone during the work week..
Thanks in advance!!

Try the latest stock ROM for the phone. Many of us were having issues with lag with prior 5.1.1 ROMS. The latest ROM has fixed all these issues. Very snappy.
i feel like i remember seeing bluetooth/audio fixes & updates in the CM13 nightly changelogs, you also didnt specify which CM 12 you installed... the last 12.1 snapshot from october or the last nightly from december?
You can run whatever rom you want. If it works with KLTE it works on your phone. Check the S5 unified development. Cyanogen has always been crap on this phone, probably always will be. Try an AOSP based one like Tesla or TipsyOS (probably won't find them on this site, they post all of their roms on their Google+ page)
Unfortunately the only Marshmallow available for this phone so far is CM-13 based so it's also crap and full of bugs...
To be honest, no ROM you find will be perfect. The most stable thing I've found is to just use a rooted stock ROM and debloat the hell out of it then run Google Now launcher or Nova and forget that you have a Samsung device for a while, until the next OTA comes out and you have to do the process over again.

much improved deep sleep battery means crap & full of bugs? i'm over a week behind on nightlies & there arent that many bugs... http://www.cmxlog.com/13/klte/ things are improving all the time, only CM 12.1 is stuck... but the last december nightly isnt buggy either
Sort of forgot about this thread. first Thanks for the replies.. So I have been using CM13 since I posted this.. and this has great for speed.. but BlueTooth continues to suck.. no matter what bluetooth device I use with this Rom it skips and stutters. I've finally had enough.. it's been quite a long time with this issue so time for me to switch.. I will try one of the rooted stock roms and debloat it with one of those tools.. thanks again everyone!

Go to the international s5 site look at Tamirda's phoenix rom . It's 6.0.1 mm very snappy very few bugs. Very moddable. Just load a stock mm rom from here first than so you have the proper bootloader and modem. After installing you feel like you got a mini s7. Good good.

If you have the mm bootloader and modem installed just wipe and flash. But I believe cm 13 could be ran on the lp bootloader. I odined the stock tar first that way you know all the partitions are proper. Than Odin Twrp 3 0.0 . Make sure you back up your data from internal storage because when you Odin factory package it wipes phone storage. I learned this the hard way lost a bunch of pictures lol anyway I found this to be the best way. Hoping this helps....

1. is there a way to tell which bootloader I have?
2. I'm running teamwin.. I assume that's fine for flashing Phoenix but does one really need Odin?
3. I had a rooted stock image before I installed CM13.. (the stock image was so dang slow.. forget which.)
thanks again!

Get any phone info app and check and see if your bootloader ends in pe1 if it don't you don't have mm bootloader. Teamwin is twrp just make sure it's version 3.0.0 that version seems to do best with the phoenix rom.

thanks for sticking with me on the all the newbie questions.. bootloader version reported as G900TUV1FOG6.. later in the list it shows Latest Firmware: G900TUVUGPE1/G900TTMBGPE1/G900TUVU1GPE1.. so at first I was thinking I was ok.. but that second entry had me wondering.. (dang.. just noticed this was never submitted (from 6/28).. oh well)..
ok.. So I assumed I'm good to go.. installed the latest TWRP (3.0.2).. wiped the data area and tried to flash Phoenix.. It starts installing Aroma.. and within a couple of seconds the phone reboots back into TWRP.. did this a few times.. rebooting into the OS gets me a new Cyanagenomod not Phoenix.. figure I must be missing a step somewhere (or have something that is preventing Phoenix from installing).. thoughts?
thanks again!!

I think you still don't have the correct bootloader . The firmware is mm because your using CM13. The easiest way to get it done for sure is to odin the official MM firmware. Than install Twrp 3.0.0 flash superuser to have root . Reboot in recovery and flash phoenix rom v12.0 than the 12.6 update. This may take extra time this way but all the partitions will be correct. Or odin bootloader in BL slot and modem in cp slot . Don't set for auto reboot pull battery back into download mode Odin Twrp pull battery. Reboot into recovery than flash superuser. Than flash phoenix. Good luck

OK.. you may be right.. I downgraded TWRP to 3.0.0 and the install started working fine.. but now the reboot into Phoenix has been going for about 35 mins.. I know it can take some time but that seems extreme.. will wait a bit longer and if it doesn't work I'll try the steps you listed above..

Gary look in this general section for the post that instructs you how to install factory mm. Follow the guide. Google to see how to install factory tar files using Lunix . I'm guessing my instructional writing skills leave something to be desired lol . Once you have the factory mm up and running install Twrp flash superuser reboot. Than reboot into recovery flash phoenix rom. Good good
