***INFORMATION REGARDING***
***NEW/REWORKED UPDATES***​
The Modem packages were recently reworked to include the "much needed" Baseband files (of course) pulled from the Official Samsung Stock Firmware.
This is ONLY because the following list of files are ALL of the Baseband/Modem files that are actually the part of the Firmware that controls ALL the radio devices within the GS5 to include (but, not limited to) the GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, Cellular Data/Voice, etc...
MODEM.BIN
NON-HLOS.BIN
RPM.MBN
SBL1.MBN
SBL2.MBN
SBL3.MBN
TZ.MBN
Please keep in mind that, because these functions are Highly Regulated & Certified, they are actually Separate from the Android Operating System (aka the Firmware ROM installed like AOSP, LineageOS, etc...).
This is the reason that, after flashing the "Baseband Firmware Modem Update", it DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT the Android Firmware installed on your devide. Your Android Firmware (basically) takes note of the update and updates itself to reflect those said changes (simply put without getting too deep).
DISCLAIMER/FYI
- Any process (like updating your modem) via Odin/TWRP/CWM is simple/easy to do but, as always, if your not sure of what your doing and don't do your research (ie... searching, asking questions, etc... first), then you take the risk of damaging your device.
- I take no responsibility for any unexpected results/damage that may happen but, I am always willing to provide assistance to help you out.
- Also keep in mind that when performing any unconventional updates, unlocking, rooting, etc... you may end up "voiding your warranty"!

In case anyone was interested, I had just uploaded the USB driver for the Samsung devices to my File Host Account.
The following link takes you there. It's for Windows OS and I also had Zipped it up to help reduce the size (all you have to do is unzip it for the software).
Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.65.0 {05-22-2017} - Android File Host
I believe that this is the latest version released in May 2017 but, if anyone knows where there's a more recent release than the v1.5.65.0, please let me know.
I hope this is helpful for you!
Thank you very much and, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Is it safe (and recommended) to update build fro OF1 to PL1?

If your referring to updating the Modem, then yes.
The modem updates here doesn't update the Firmware "ROM" itself but, just the specific "Modem" Firmware only.
For example... I've got an S5 that has LineageOS in it and, when a new Firmware ROM was released for it, i updated the Modem Firmware and it didn't affect anything else but, just updated the Modem only.
When you update the modem, via Odin, it takes less than 30 seconds and it's finished.
I hope that I had explained this okay via text...

I'm unfamiliar with updating the "modem." I have an S4 on OF1 build, so I have to be extra careful as to what I do or brick occurs.

I completely understand and I am very careful with what I flash as well as I've bricked a few of my devices before and was very lucky to be able to recover them (I've got other devices solely for testing my developments and such).
I can honestly state that I've tested ALL of these Modem Updates and they work just as they were intended. No problems experienced.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Good Luck!

This is a very good question that I don't see much myself! :thumbup:
As much as I would have no problem with explaining this, it would be much easier to point you in the direction where it's already been explained (probably better than I could do).
I took a quick look around and located the following link that looks like a very good explanation.

At this time I don't have any that are flashable via TWRP.
I think I saw something regarding individuals flashing Modem Updates using FlashFire or another app that might be able to flash the tar files but, I can't remember where.

I pulled out an old modem TWRP/CWM zip and looked at the script inside and it looks like I can just flash it via DD from a root terminal if I extract the modem.bin file first. The command would be something like "dd if=/tmp/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" as the script did this:
assert(package_extract_file("modem.bin", "/tmp/modem.bin"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"),
delete("/tmp/modem.bin"));

Thanks. I did the DD from TWRP after extracting the modem.bin from you file and it shows the baseband version as I545VRSGPL1, so it seemed to work. Thanks for providing the files

I'm happy to see that it worked out for you but, just keep it in mind, if you've got LTE, you should be using both the Modem AND NON-HLOS as well.
The NON-HLOS has additional drivers specific to the LTE bands.

Was wondering if the fingerprint scanner can be used with encryption without strange workarounds like I did on my note 4.
Has samsung finally made fingerprint scanner Microsoft Exchange friendly?
Will the S6 Edge 128gb be launched all over or just few countries
I am considering switching from Verizon to AT&T, for a few reasons:
1.) There seems to be a trend of AT&T devices getting updates substantially sooner than Verizon devices
2.) Due to using GSM instead of CDMA, it's easier/cheaper to find unlocked/off-contract devices for AT&T
3.) I live and work near a major metro area, so coverage should easily be as good
Thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks.

Att and Verizon like to lock their bootloaders. I haven't even put my pre-order in for my T-Mobile device because I don't know if they are going to follow the trend of att and Verizon. But I guess it depends on what your plan on doing with your device.

Okay then, I have a T-Mobile Galaxy s6 Edge and our dev forum is a ghost town. Which ROMs are safe for me to flash? I'm running latest doi1 update. Can I flash pretty much any rom from any s6 Edge forum as long as its 5.1.1?
As far as it is from your own android version , you can use any rom.
To see whether it is safe or not read what other users have replied , it will give yoyu a general idea about the bugs and features of the rom
Please press the thanks button...
wow a whole topic for self promotion, this will soon be tumble weed
i recently got an s6 edge updated to 5.1.1 and was suffering from extreme battery drainage during idle but then i figured out that the drain stopped once i put the mobile network to gsm only..it's a temporary fix but is still annoying as i have to do these extra steps in order to turn mobile data on and also can't leave data on as it sips the away battery every minute..can anyone guide me to a fix? or i was wondering to flash the stock 5.1.1 upate via odin as a factory reset has failed to fix the issue.can anyone tell me about the most debloated stock firmware available as in my countrys version even whatsapp comes pre installed.
Help with system storage
Hello, Im using a t-mobile galaxy s6 edge. I have flashed twrp and rooted, running unikernel and extresolite deodexed with optional aroma package. My system storage is showing 7.2gb im not sure why as my whole rom should not be more than 2gb all together. Can someone possible link me to a thread where I can find how to remove all of this system storage? Its also th 32gb version of the phone btw.
Is there a flashable .zip for the latest modem? I'm using the international s6edge.
Thanks in advance.

Verizon Software update question

his is regarding update LMY47X.G925VVRU4BOG9.
Model SM-G925V, Currently running Android version 5.0.2
New G6 edge owner as of a few weeks ago. I keep getting an update alert for this LMY47X.G925VVRU4BOG9 patch. The first few times I tried this, the screen crashed to a boot screen and I selected reboot. Today, it seems like the update went through successfully and I saw the "Updating apps" screen running up to 280 or so (Which I find strange as I haven't transferred my old apps to this phone yet and doubt I have that many in the first place.)
Unfortunately, when the home screen comes up I get the SAME pop-up telling me about that the same software update. Nothing happened. No changes in the screen's appearance and, indeed, I am still running version 5.0.2. I tried installing the patch again but the same thing happens.
Any ideas? FYI I am using the SIM card from my old phone as I utilized the BB method to obtain Verizon contract upgrade with 2 year contract but not lose my unlimited plan. Could that play a factor?
Thanks.
I had a similar problem with my galaxy y.Ask the Samsung guyz, they can guide you on this
.
.also are you rootted or did something custom with ur phone??
If that update is not a big issue for you, simply turn off its notifications....
Please press the thanks button...
Help is always appreciated
Okay, I currently have a SM-G925T I'm not sure whats up with it, but I installed the OH8 update and was no longer able to root the device and install a custom ROM without being locked out of my phone by KNOX. I thought that the custom rom had removed all KNOX filed but I guess not. After flashing the stock rom back on to the device it updated again to the Canadian DOJ7 update? not sure why. anyway, installed unikernel, and the sick as hell rom (testing it out). I can use wifi calling and texting only (the phone says connected to t-mobile only while I am on wifi, otherwise I cannot use mobile data or sms.) Am I doing something Wrong during the flashing process??? a little more info, I have a galaxy s5 stock that can use mobile data on the same sim perfectly fine so it is not the data connection with t-mobile, also before the update everything was working fine. I am also not new to this, I just have no clue why his is happening, tried going back to stock and re-flashing about 15 times now still same problem. please help
Appreciate all the help in advance!
Soft Bricked Edge after system wipe on TWRP
Hi guys!
So I was going to flash a custom rom to my rooted galaxy s6 edge (Canadian Version) and I had flashed TWRP using Odin. So as I was wiping the data before flashing my rom I clicked off on "system" accidentally and now my phone's stuck on the boot image of Galaxy S6 Edge. I can't go into recovery, all I can do is go into download mode and use ODIN. But every time I flash TWRP it says success but it nothing happens when I hold down volume up + home + power. When I tried to flash the stock Canadian firmware ODIN keeps failing to do so.
I don't know proper forum etiquette but this is a link to the thread I started under troubleshooting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/accidental-wipe-galaxy-s6-edge-using-t3241932
Hi All,
i have flashed the crisscross rom bu asc1977. Now my problem is, there is his Crisscross logo on bootup instead of stock Galaxy S6 Edge Welcome logo. I have flashed different roms via zipand odin (also stock rom) but nothing does change. What can i do to solve this and go back to stock. Thanks... (and sorrry for my bad english )

In case anyone was interested, I had just uploaded the USB driver for the Samsung devices to my File Host Account.
The following link takes you there. It's for Windows OS and I also had Zipped it up to help reduce the size (all you have to do is unzip it for the software).
Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.65.0 {05-22-2017} - Android File Host
I believe that this is the latest version released in May 2017 but, if anyone knows where there's a more recent release than the v1.5.65.0, please let me know.
I hope this is helpful for you!
Thank you very much and, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Enjoy!!!

Try this...
Place the Firmware in the AP.
Place the PIT file where the PIT file goes.
Only select the Re-partition and the Auto Reboot option.
That Should work.

S4 verizon problem
Hi, I have a phone model SCH-I545(jfltevwz) with android 4.4.2
originally the hostspot option does not work by different simcards, nor the usb tethering option.
do you guess it would solve if I change the Firmware to last version?

The guidance that I would recommend is all based upon your Yes or No answer for the following question.
Do you have a Custom Recovery (ie... TWRP, CWM, etc...) installed to indicate that your Bootloader is, in fact, Unlocked?
Don't worry about your answer because either answer is not a wrong or bad one. Your answer would only allow me to provide you with the appropriate steps based upon your setup.

What do you mean by the Recovery File?

maybe this will work?
im in the same boat here but as far as i can tell you need to unlock the bootloader with this
(search this unlock bootloader lg "m257" its the first thing that comes up in google im a new user and cant post links yet)
then use that to get twrp to get supersu on useing the zip
the problem is that the guide is very vague on how to get the commands to word, it basicly says get this and use it with no real explanation on how it is done.
anyone here has an LG M257, please dump the system.img
https://www.mylgphones.com/cricket-lg-harmony-m257-firmware-how-to-dump-software-with-lg-up.html
I have the dump of system.img, but I do not know how to upload it here. It seems too large.

broken new moto g5 after installing TWRP

hello everybody,
I hope you can help me ! I got yesterday a new moto g5 and am trying to install a custom ROM on it. as a preparation I unlocked succesfully the boot loader using adb and fastboot, from a linux machine. i did encounter a problem that fastboot was functioning only using sudo. but then all went well.
then i downloaded the twrp image and installed it like this : sudo ./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I rebooted the phone from the command line and entered the recovery mode. from there i did a backup ( I have nothing important on the phone) and restarted the phone.
since the reboot the operating system is not starting anymore. it stays on this screen that says : your phone is unlocked and not trusted. will boot in 5 secs. and does nothing.
you can not turn it off using the power button.
the only thing you can do is going in the recovery mode then it loads the twrp interface.
if i use adb devices now it shows :
ZY322BV4HP no permissions (user in plugdev group; are your udev rules wrong?); see bla bla...
before installing twrp.img it showed : ZY322BV4HP device
i did not root the phone but set twrp to write to the boot partition.
I tried to restore the backup I had made. the action was successful but it did not solve my problem.
thank you for reading and may be helping !

I'm happy to see that it worked out for you!
Just keep in mind that, if you have a device that has a dedicated area on the forum, your best bet in locating/posting a resolution somewhere within it.
Also, most (unfortunately not all) of the big developments like TWRP, LineageOS, etc... Will have a dedicated thread that's specifically for instructions, support and member guidance.
Good Luck!

So this is what helped :
directly from this link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/official-twrp-3-1-1-0-moto-g5-t3699737
I followed the special instruction for stock rom users to flash dm-verity zip and it worked like a charm...

Attempted root with TWRP, Magisk on Galaxy S8, didn't go well, hoping to reset

As in title, I have the SM-G950F Optus model and tried to root using TWRP and Magisk. Worked fine but had the "Unauthorised actions detected" message. After a reboot, I got the "Official firmwares only" message and couldn't get past the Samsung splash screen. Used the instructions from an xda thread I can't link (new poster) titled: "OFFICIAL STOCK Firmware-update (Odin) thread Samsung GALAXY S8 SM-G950F", but it would fail every time. Eventually I tried only placing the AP section, that worked and I could get into my phone.
The issue now is that the phone believes it is rooted, so I can't use Google Pay, Netflix etc. It also can only access about 9 GB of 64, kinda frustrating.
So I'm just looking for a way to get back to square one, reset completely and forget I even tried.
