Root [International] GT-19505 Modem update

[theunicodeful]

I want to know the proper way and the proper file of changing the modem for my s4

I've few questions on my baseband version I9505XXUBMF8:

I've CM 11 Nightly. Does this version come built-in with CM ? or is this the stock modem ?

Can I flash the modem from any Galaxy model to my GT-I9505 ?


Thanks.

There are 2 modems on the International, GT-i9505. A GSM and an LTE modem. On this model, modems are flashed in CP on Odin. For more details on modems, see the post in xda's thread, GALAXY S4 (I9500/I9505) GSM / NON-HLOS - MODEM'S Collection (Odin/CWM/TWRP), entitled...

This message is addressed to anyone that may be unsure about what freaking modem they should flash.

I've few questions on my baseband version I9505XXUBMF8:

That is the modem associated with the old, unlocked and non Knox, bootloader for Android 4.2.2. Install Phone INFO, free from the Play Store, to check your bootloader version as this will have a bearing on your LTE modem as described in the previous link..

I've CM 11 Nightly. Does this version come built-in with CM ? or is this the stock modem ?

There are no modem versions with CM 11 as it does not alter your modem. If you wish to change to a more updated modem, see the previous link or seek suggestions for compatible modems for your CM 11 ROM on the CyanogenMod forum.

Can I flash the modem from any Galaxy model to my GT-I9505 ?

No. You can only flash GT-i9505 modems to a GT-i9505 phone.
