I've got two questions, what exactly does the modem.bin do, and can I flash just the modem.bin from JI6 to my stock JFD?
Search the general forum for JI6. I posted some instructions on flashing the modem.bin.

Just an FYI - the only way to get back to STOCK JFD modem.bin is with ODIN.
I don't have any issue flashing the modem.bin. I'm familiar with ODIN, but I just want to know what exactly the modem.bin is responsible for, and if I can just flash the JI6 modem.bin over stock JFD
Modem.bin is pretty much self-explanatory. It is a "modem," its responsible for data connection and things of that sort.

Okay, does anyone have an answer as to whether or not it will cause problems if I flash just the JI6 modem to stock JFD?
I flashed the JI6 over the stock JFD modem.bin, when I initially replied to you.
It appears the modem file gets me 1 more bar for reception.

Could someone send me in the right direction or just tell me do I use PDA or Phone to flash the KA6 modem.bin. I know using PDA is for the Rom.
I'm running KA5 right now and would like to test out the KA6 Modem. Should I just flash the whole KA6 rom since its newer and from reading seems more stable and faster?
Put ka6 modem in pda.

ok do you have the odin flash modem or the cw flash one.
Ok I have done that, Odin says File analysis, Get pit for mapping, Firmware update start, Modem.bin
It just sits there...
It shouldn't take long to flash a modem.bin

I have ODIN. Trying to flash KA6 modem.
Do you have a froyo rom already installed?

This should be in the Q&A section probably.
According to the superb Vibrant Modem reference page:
Just extract and load into phone section and Flash
Find the modem that uses clock work recovery, put in internal memory, reboot into recovery and flash "zip from sd" and locate your file...
Make sure battery is not low...have fun....

Yeah I'm running KA5 right now and wanted to add the KA6 Modem.
I have the KA6 Rom sitting here. I might just load the whole rom if the Modem flash go threw.

Don't you have clock work recovery? I find it easier with it...

No I don't have clock work. I've Just tryed flashing the KA6 rom and I'm getting the same issue as with the modem. Its just hanging here and not doing anything. If I unplug my phone and try booting it. I get a phone to computer icon on the screen.
I never use odin so not much help...good luck tho...
Now the KA6 rom is going threw.. WTF I have never had a problem flashing before especially with a modem.bin..
you can dl a program called 7zip. you can delete the modem bin in the rom you wanna flash and then replace it with the one you do and it zips it back up and you can flash it that way.
FYI modems are flashed through Phone section in odin....
no pit....
and to the other people.
if his phone froze during odin, he's most likely not going to be able to get into Recovery mode.
so
USE ODIN and put modem.bin in the phone section and flash.
Hi everyone,
unfortunately I do not yet have enough posts to post this question in the appropriate thread. My wife is getting tired of me using her windows laptop for Odin so I would like to start using heimdall. I am planning on flashing back to stock from Dark Revenge. I extracted the eb01 stock ROM and I can find a place in Heimdall for every file except movinand.bin. Do I not need to worry about that file. Also, I am assuming that boot.bin is primary bootloader, Sbl.bin is secondary bootloader and cache.rfs goes in cache under CSC. Thank you all in advance. This site and all those who know what they're talking about are awesome.
You do not need that file sound like you are all good to flash.

i did just what you did, and even partitioned with the atlas file, worked fine...
I actually ended up using odin because my wife left for the night and I wanted to see if odin flashed that file which it did. Thanks for the response. I am still curious what that file is.

Hello,
I've tried before, and was unsuccessful. I am on a small regional carrier and when flashing MIUI, my 3g or 1x data connection does not work and reception is very very poor due to being on a verizon radio. I have accuired my carreirs ODIN files, but running linux I use Heimdall. However, I've extracted the files and have the modem.bin file. When I flash this over my MIUI ROM, and try to reboot, I get some wiered error where MIUI wont even boot up. I don't remember the error and am at work currently(which is the reason for the spelling errors also, sorry).
My proccess is:
1. Install MIUI from stock
2. Boot and install Glitch V12
3. Flash new modem.bin through Heimdall using Atlas 2.2.1 pit file(a pit file is required correct?)
Am I doing something wrong? Is the correct way
1. Flash Phone to stock with carriers radio
2. Install MIUI
3. Yada Yada
Everything works currently but data, I have to connect to WIFI. Any suggestions for me?
I'm not positive because i'm on Verizon and have never had to do this but I believe using the pit file when you flash the modem is your problem..try doing everything you said in the same order but when it comes to the part about flashing the modem do not use the pit file that is used only when you repartition, so no needed for that
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Correct me if I'm wrong(probably am), but don't you have to populate the .pit file portion in order for odin to flash?
Sent me alink to the modem.bin i will prepare a cwm flashable zip for you.
That would be awsome demetris, it'll be about 2 hours before I will be able to do that as I am currently at work. I'll post it up here soon. Thank you

nope you don't have to populate the pit section to flash..you just need to use the pda button only, (never the phone button) if you were using an official VZW rom.tar and you wanted to repartition, then you would use the pit section but unless your repartitioning, it's not a requirement for Odin to flash, and would actually cause problems using a pit file with out an official VZW.tar...which is why I think you were having the issues trying to flash a modem with a pit file.
Edit: i'm sorry I just realized the instructions I just gave were for Odin and you're using heimdal...or wait...are you using Odin or heimdal?? I would wait for the previous posters cwm zip, because i'm unsure of heimdal's exact instructions, unless you are using Odin? but I still think your problems stems from using the pit with the modem
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I am using Heimdall, and now that I am at my laptop, you do have to load a .pit file in order to add a partion portion(such as a modem) here is the modem.bin file demetris. I really appreciate the .zip file man! I'm hoping this helps me. Now I just need to find a way to push my carriers prl file to my phone so it stops pushing to verizon update.
Demetris, if you know how to make a .zip for a prl file, here is the .prl for my also.
I owe you one for this,
Thanks everyone!
What fascinate you got there, it seems modem is bigger than galaxy s family,
i think is the verizon cdma and i need to know where that modem lies in the partition.
Anyway i made one with the stantard bml12 partition that all galaxy s modems are i hope is the same on cdma
Here it is:
http://www.multiupload.com/AL7IBCDKMB
Flash it with CWM.
If you need an odin one just ask
I've got the version version of the fascinate. I500. I'll give this zip a try. Thanks again
I messed with my phone and want to completely restore everything so it's nice and clean..
I have the official XWKI4 firmware (with the new bootloader) and just want to know if I flash with the KH3 pit file and repartition is this going to be OK?
no, that's the worst thing you can do. No partition! No pit! Just PDA.
Whats so bad about repartitioning it?

Wrong, is not the "worst thing", is an unnecessary step.
All good thanks guys..
I flashed KH3 pit file and KI4 PDA and working fine.
Thanks for the feedback
Trying to revert to a BML ROM in Odin so I can try out jt's ICS source rom. I have the repartition box checked and atlas_v2.2.pit in the pit section and ED05.tar.md5 in the PDA section. Odin seems to be stuck at "FACTORYFS". Any pointers as how to get this to work? It's doing this on both Odin v1.3 and 1.7. I've also tried DL09 full odin file and it does the same thing.
UPDATE: Never mind, looks like I have to use a certain USB port.
im having a similar issue... gets hug up on factory.rfs in odin. what exactly did your phone do during process?

make sure you see a yellow box in far left of odin...should say com#, also try redownloading the files, and a bad pit file could cause that issue aswell.
