Hi,
Can I flash a firmware with a different modem.
For example:
My baseband/modem is XXKE7 and I want to flash the firmware XXKG2 from the firmware thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) since it's the newest firmware available.
Thanks in advance.
Yes it will either work better the same or worse .
I just have as a matter of fact flashed KG2 .
In that respect KG2 modem is giving me a much stronger WiFi signal at the extremes of range where other modems would have no signal .
measured by speedtest.net not the crappy wifi indicator on the phone .
jje
Will do absolutely no harm.
I flashed my phone too with XXKG2 and have used the FW with both, my original modem software as well as the KG2 one.
Apart from the fact that the KG2 modem indeed seems to be way better, they all worked fine
Thanks for the replies.
I flashed the XXKG2 firmware from the XDA firmware thread and all is fine =)
My modem gets automagically changed to XXKG2 as well.

I am also with FIDO and I should advise you that XXKG1 Modem is the best for that network. I get the highest signal and faster data.
I tried all modems currently with extensive testing.
You could download it from here:

assuming you have problems or if you wanna try different modems.
Only my advice tho.
Appreciate the advice.
Thank you

Im running on full signal now (back to normal) when i flashed KF4. So we really should flash the stock modem always after flashing a new rom since KF4 is optimised for Vodafone/3 and Telstra too i guess?
But yeah if you just flashed a new rom, be sure to flash the stock KF4 modem right after.

That presumes that their are different KF4 modems then as opposed to one KF4 modem released worldwide .As you are presuming it has some local optimization .

tried going back to kf4 still sometimes (depending where i am in the house) shows 2-3 bars but then says no network when try to ring or text
besides the drop in reception bars, do you have anyother problems because i would like to be able to get DSLR Controller, and i need the newer KG or KH to get that working
Hey,
Im running the GT-I9100T from Vodafone on Australia, currently running MIUI 1.8.19 and wish to flash to another modem other than the KH3 currently on here as the reception is less than good.
I was hoping to find the original KF4 modem shipped with the stock firmware available from kies, but alas could not find it. I only found KF2, or KG1 and above.. I was looking at this thread :
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...II-Shipped-Radio-Collection?p=42051#post42051
for modems but was wondering who in Australia gets the best receptions with which modem?
Cheers!
EDIT : Can the modem.bin file from the original firmware downloaded through kies that is KF4 be extracted and placed in another rom to flash? or just flash through odin/cwm?

I'm with Optus and I find KH3 to be quite good for me. If you have the modem.bin file you can flash it through CWM, but you need to make it a flashable zip.
Otherwise you might be able to put it into another rom.
EDIT: The best way to find out which modem gives you the best reception is to test them out

Hi All
Newbie here from New Zealand, I got my Samsung Galaxy S2 a few weeks ago via parallel import. *#1234# shows the following:
PDA: I9100XWKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100OXXKE2
I'm thinking about flashing to get rid of the flickering brightness problem. Samsung NZ doesn't want to help because it's a parallel import.
I have been reading a lot about the flashing and have a couple of questions if anyone could help me.
1.XXKE2 vs. XXKG3?
Apparently the latest firmware upgrade is XXKG3 and Intratech is loving it, what sort of improvements have been confirmed versus XXKE2? Any current problems with XXKG3?
2.Currently the phone has a multi CSC, if I flash to KG3 which CSC should I use?
Thanks in advance
fyi, the latest is KH3 .. not KG3 ..
1. each of the firmware & modem depends on location, some said that XX is drain battery, some said that XX reception is low,etc .. unfortunately, you need to test it yourself..
but .. normally the latest contain less bug..
2. it's always advisable using same firmware (KH3) with CSC for better result.

Thats relatively true best is generally the latest but not always for all phones .
2. it's always advisable using same firmware (KH3) with CSC for better result.
Does not matter what CSC you use as long as it covers your location as it only contains a list of network settings .CSC itself may be numbered later but contents rarely change .
Basics is you want a CSC that covers New Zealand and that can be flashed separate as can a modem if needs be .

hoping someone can shed light on a issue i'm having.
when i got my sgs2, i root the phone using chainfire's CF-root using ZSKG2.
since the release of the stock, i flash the UGKG2 back on but retained the root.
i assume with flashing the UGKG2 kernel, it reverted everything including the modem files back to UGKG2.
ever since going back to UGKG2, i have been experiecing slow data connection or timeout and wondering if its a modem issue?
have anyone tried other modem files and saw improvement? or know where i can get just the modem file for ZSKG2 as i would like to try the modem of ZSKG2 instead?
Thanks

NO a kernel is not a modem its a kernel only and not a full firmware .

Possible change the modem
KH3 modem i find best .

Whats is the latest? And how can you tell again?
Looking for the latest and possibly whatever came with the Offical ICS update also.
Look here

The modem / radio version will usually correlate with your ROM Base version, e.g. XWLP8 rom and **LP* Modem
Some modems are dotted around those forums (not on the OP page) so you may have to do some searching
Latest is the last numbered .
LP1 before LP2 LJ1 before LP1 .
Modems do not get released as frequently as roms so its normal for rom build LP8 to have modem LP2 and so on .
Latest modem is not best modem . Best modem is the one that works for you and your network .

And once again im confussed :L
I do mean baseband, The latest ICS baseband is?
I have no idea what im doing any longer, I really need to go back to a HTC Device,
I feel my network goes to sleep on the current modem? If I turn on the phone my 3G icon is grey instead of blue.

Modem = baseband. So latest is not really relevant... Find the one that works best for you.

Means it wasn't currently connected to the network. That's what it's supposed to be doing. It would suck a ton of battery if it was always connected.

I know what you mean, it's different to HTC land re: the radio. Newer doesn't always equal better here. My network just released ICS with a DVLP3 baseband, but I have radio-interface wakelocks with that so I went back to LPS.
I don't even know what im on any longer. LBP? is my baseband. I think.
UK users report latest 3UK modem to be very good on all networks .
NELP2 flash able via CWM .
