You need to be very specific about the problem you are experiencing.
Exactly what model is your phone, Tmobile T999 or AT&T I747 ?
Also do you want to flash the stock rom for your phone or do you
want to flash the stock-rooted rom?
The Verizon rom did not just happen to appear in your phone, you or someone
else must have flashed it for reasons which are beyond my comprehension.
Good luck!

If you want a stock rom click here: UVDLJA this is the un-rooted T999 Galaxy S3 4.1.1 Jellybean firmware.
This is the same rom which came with your T999 Galaxy S3 it needs to be flashed using ODIN.
You need to unzip the file in order to get the TAR file inside before flashing.
After flashing it might take up to 5-10 minutes to fully boot.
Good luck!

No, if you odin flash any rom it will over write the modem.
If your phone is a T999 (not t999v) then do this and the phone will work properly:
This will over write your modem with the proper one for a T999 phone and this will
flash the stock rooted T999 4.1.2 Jellybean rom.
Follow the instructions below.
Here is the step by step guide:
After you have followed these instructions your phone will have the new T999 4.1.2 jellybean pre-rooted firmware.
Download the stock-rooted Odin flash T999_UVDMD5 Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 firmware.
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
But the Chinese models usually come with write protection

Here is the direct download link for the MK2 modem/radio (modem.bin):
http://download1276.mediafire.com/dbomd3ltqngg/1gsjokadys4l89x/modem.bin
When flashing using Odin be sure to use the PHONE slot for the modem.bin
or odin will not recognize it. You can also flash it using mobile odin.
Good luck!

Thus is just a modem/radio. No Knox if Odin on its own. It's the bootloader that has Knox.

Yes you can use it on Wicked 4.2.2 custom rom.
And this modem.bin will NOT effect the KNOX status of your phone.
Here are the instructions for mobile odin.
-Flashing with Mobile ODIN is easy. You start by starting the app and the app will check your system has everything it needs to continue (like root). It may need to download an additional package, so it is advised you have Wi-Fi available.
Now you should see the main Mobile ODIN screen. It will list a set of partitions. Clicking a partition will allow you to select a file from your SD card to flash to that partition. Do not worry about selecting the wrong file - Mobile ODIN will not let you. Separate files (named after the partition) as well as .tar and .tar.md5 files are supported.
From the desktop ODIN you maybe used to "PDA", "PHONE", and "CSC" buttons. All three of these buttons have been replaced by the "Open file ..." button. This button will open the file you select from the SD card, and find all the partitions it can flash inside that file. So if you select a .tar file containing kernel and modem, the Kernel and Modem partitions will be set up to use that .tar file for flashing.
Now that we have selected what we want to flash, if you have the Pro version you can proceed to the EverRoot section. The EverRoot options allows you to root your firmware while it is being flashed. Never again will you be without root! Select here which apps you want to inject in the firmware that is being flashed.
Now that we are all done selecting partitions and configuring EverRoot, we continue to "Flash firmware". Mobile ODIN will gather all the information it needs and perform the flash. Before starting, however, it will check that your battery level is over 50%, and if applicable offer to verify MD5 checksums on the files you have selected to flash. If all is well, it will reboot into recovery mode, and flash the firmware you have selected.
Good luck!
I am having trouble updating my modem to the new MK2. I have tried several times following the instructions
found in various places here on XDA, but nothing works.

There might be something wrong with the file. The bootloader is not accepting it due to failed authentication. Be aware that when updating, you won't see the baseband version as UVUEMK2. You'll just see the old MDL one. This is because you can only update to one of the modem files without any issues.
I have absolutely the same problem - Nothing helps - I have followed the link that was pasted in the second comment and it simply does not work. Once it fails on my phone I have to try to flash stock 4.2.2 to unbrick my device. I am following all of the posts hopefully some new way to update the modems comes out so that I do not have to lock my bootloader down.
Are you trying to just flash the bin file not tarred?

Please NOTE: the following procedure is NOT valid for AOSP/AOKP/KitKat/CM roms.
The following instructions are exclusively for those people who are using the
Tmobile M919 stock based Jellybean 4.2.2 or 4.3 Touchwiz custom roms.
Follow the easy step by step instructions to a "T".
You can Odin flash the MK2 modem.bin while on any Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 based rom
or ODIN flash it after flashing the Infamous v9, Wicked v9.1, or any M919 MK2 JB based
Touchwiz 4.3 roms. Either way it makes no difference.
What does make a difference is to follow this step by step exactly.
First download the MK2 modem.bin from the link below:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/1gsjokadys4l89x/modem.bin
#1: Manually power down the phone by using the power button only.
#2: Start ODIN and put the MODEM.BIN file into ODIN'S PHONE slot.
#3: Put the phone into download mode using the volume down and power button.
#4: Plug the USB cable into the phone and into the computer.
#5: Make sure that ODIN'S [COM:xx] lights up.
#6: Un-Check the Auto-Reboot in ODIN and click START.
#7: After its done flashing unplug the usb cable.
#8: Manually power off the phone by using the power button only.
#9: Wait 30 or so seconds before you power on the phone.
After doing this the MK2 baseband should show up in About Device.
Once it displays MK2 you can flash any MK2 JB TW 4.3 custom cwm/twrp
zip file roms unless you have already flashed it before flashing the modem.bin
in which case you are done and ready to use the phone.
Good luck!

Hi Misterjunky
I do thank you for the walk through .... but unless I am really blind, I am pretty sure as per my
OP that I did follow your steps to a "T" :angel:. If I missed something, PLEASE point it out for me ??
Everything goes just fine until Odin finishes the flash of the modem.bin and says FAILED.
I think the only difference is that I am running a different ROM than you mention, but you do say:
1) You can Odin flash the MK2 modem.bin while on any Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 based rom
2) Or ODIN flash it after flashing the Infamous v9, Wicked v9.1, or any M919 MK2 JB based
Touchwiz 4.3 roms. Either way it makes no difference.
Now since I am running DARTHSTALKER S4 ☆ | VERSION X1 | Aroma | Multi-Carrier | 12.29.2013
( This ROM Is Based On The T-Mobile UVUEMK2 4.3 Base )
Option #1) does not apply to me ... BUT ... option #2) DOES apply to me and this ROM since DarthStalker is 4.3 based.
So I should be able to just Odin flash Modem.bin via your steps correct ?? Or am I wrong ?
Please help me ... my OCD is in overdrive atm
Thanks guys !!
.
PS: Shinyside - Yes I am only flashing Modem.bin since I am already on a MDL there is no need to flash the *MDL.tar.MD5
PSS: Vigs - you wrote "There might be something wrong with the file. The bootloader is not accepting it due to failed
authentication. Be aware that when updating, you won't see the baseband version as UVUEMK2. You'll see the old MDL one.
Yes I have tried the Modem.bin file from 3 sources and the file
is fine. I know I wont see baseband as MK2, but that's not my issue mate. The flash FAILS.

I know you're only flashing the modem. But is it just in is raw form or is it tarred? The modem bin needs to be tarred. And from your screen shot, because I can't remember off the top of my head if Odin shows the tar ext when loaded, it looks like you are just loading the actual bin file and not tarred
Since I have the exact problem I thought I'd chime in too. The problem seems to be in the response from the bootloader. That is the step which my flashing stops as well. I have followed all steps and in all the posts very carefully and it is simply not the problem.
I am just wondering what the response from the bootloader have to be for that step to be completed successfully!
I am on stock 4.2.2 I only have it rooted so still looking for some solution for the modem to be able to update 4.3 as the op!

The actual MODEM.BIN file is what needs to be loaded into Odin's "PHONE" tab/slot.
It should also work if it's a TAR file but it's best to flash it as modem.bin, that way there
is less of a chance of having a TAR file which might be or become corrupt.
The nice part about TAR or ZIP files is that we can flash multiple files in one flashing.
But if there is only one file which needs to be flashed (modem.bin) it's always best just
to flash the one file without adding compression or other changes to it.
TAR files are similar to ZIP files, they compress whatever files are inside of them
to a smaller size, but in doing so there is more of a chance that the file inside the TAR
or ZIP getting corrupted.
That's why I simply posted the modem.bin to be used by Odin, less chance of problems.
.
Hey MisterJunky,
Yes I was pretty certain that modem.bin does NOT need to be tar'd or zipped, so you also confirmed this.
Well that then leads us to a DEAD END. Since I am doing it EXACTLY the way you discribe it (with Modem.bin)
I don't know what else could be wrong. You quoted / replied to Shinyside's theory which is fine, but didn't
really reply to my thoughts .... I was wondering if it could be a issue with my ROM which is a 4.3 ROM. Although I think it doesn't matter .. ?

It's your bootloader rejecting it.
Do you have mobile Odin? It actually skips or over rides or doesn't get stopped by the bootloader verification.

Can you please link the documentation that you cannot flash the modem using that tool - I just want to read it before I go flash something again and end up softbricking my device.
As for my comment that pertains to the rest of the post - I just cannot understand how it worked for so many people using Odin from your computer and now it seems like it just does not flash for anyone that has recently attempted to update the modems!
re: try this.

Why not try this, but before you do if you have a working rom in your phone right now
be sure to make a nandroid backup in recovery before trying the following:
Go into recovery and do a "Factory Reset" and wipe data/cache/system/dalvik cache.
Then shut down the phone, wait 20 seconds or so after shutting it down and boot back
up into Download mode and try Odin again...............
There is a 50/50 chance it will work.
Good luck!

Huh .... I bought the app last night and returned for a refund, BUT this looks like a newer version then the one I had... allthough the update of Mobile Odin is from Nov. it looks like a different version ... how can that be. ANyway I will try this version tomorrow and let you know if it fails .... Thank you !!
Hi Shiamatsu -

I follow your post ... sorry I missed that !! Thanks
Hi MisterJunky -

Thanks all !!!!

Well I guess it is not the phone that wont run Odin, but seems that Odin Mobile Pro does not like Android 4.3
### SEE PICTURE ####
I am now searching for a FlashKernel for this phone.
Need FlashKernel for T-Mobile SGH-M919 running on Android 4.3 ROM. If you happen to find one, please share !!!! )

I've already posted a possible solution on my thread, but just in case, I'll repost it here: "Hm...I'm going to guess that it's maybe the Odin version that's affecting it? Here, try flashing using this version of Odin here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1ap3sg0e2215ga6/Odin3.rar."

Thanks but sorry it is still a NO GO with that version of ODIN.
Alright before flashing the MK2 modem via Download Mode, try resetting the binary counter using an app called Triangle Away (its located here on xda developers). Once you install the app, please follow the instructions given. You need to be on a TouchWiz rom with a stock Samsung kernel (best way is to Odin to stock 4.2.2 MDL). This is something that I read from Chainfire's Google+ page which may be the solution:
"Still, the binary status needs to be official and the counter 0 on recent bootloaders if you want to do fun things like flash modems with for example Mobile ODIN (update coming as well). Otherwise the bootloader will mark those regions of the flash storage as protected, and they cannot be written to (causing freezes and whatnot)."
Give it a try and see what happens. The 4.2.2 bootloader isn't recent. But, who knows?
Thibor69 did resetting the counter work to flash the modem successfully?

I extracted the 4.3 modem.bin from the sammobile.com MI7 firmware. I tried to flash it through odin v3.09 as administrator and it looks like it flashes fine, no errors etc but when the phone reboots and I goto to about device section it still shows the NB4 baseband version. Phone is working fines still though.
Attempt 2, I used cygdrive to extract the modem.bin and tar it and tried to flash it through Odin v3.09 as-well and had the same results.
I am wondering if I need to wipe cache for the new version to show? Or is that version number in the about section set somewhere else? Is there a way to verify that I am using the 4.3 modem.bin from MI7 besides looking at the about section?

You need to uncheck the "auto reboot" and mamually reboot it into download mode again.
Then you flash the modem one more time.
I did like it last time. But baseband version shows unknown. I tried regiona away then has NO unluck.
Hello, I was wondering if exist somewhere a collection of images to flash modem partition. Searching through the forum or sammobile I've found only full stock rom...
Edit: in my case I'm interested in (P605) LTE version...
Not sure if there is a collection of ready to flash images, but you could always extract the modem.bin from the full stock firmware, create an Odin .tar, and flash.
