Okay, so I'm running CM nightlies, and my baseband is EB01, whereas i'm assuming I should be on ED04 or ED05 by now (if i were on stock). Could there be any performance differences, or am I fine on EB01?
You are fine. I actually prefer EB01 to the other modems. I get excellent signal and the fastest GPS lock with EB01. Running it now with CM7/MIUI.

Thanks man. I was starting to get a little worried when I kept seeing ED04 all over the place, and very rarely eb01.
FWIW, I've read that it's recommended that you use the EC09 radio with CM7. You can download the Odin file for it from a thread in the dev forum.

Ok so this is probably a very noob question but what is the difference between them all? Are they interchangeable, does one offer better signal than another, are they compatible with all roms or are they rom specific? I currently have jk2 and am rooted with obsidian 4.2 w/ stock kernal. Just curious to know if one may have better signal strength cause the part of town I live in i have poor 3g signal and wonder if there is help available to boost the antenna

I'm a noon and I THINK they're the different baseband versions bcz I have JI6 right now go to setting about phone and baseband version its the last 3 numbers...

Im using jk6 and am now able to get 3g in my apartment where beforhand, on ji6, id be lucky to get any signal at all if i wasnt near a window. The only reason i flashed it was for the wifi-calling and havent even used it once...

JK6 is the newest leaked (Not official OTA) Firmware based on android 2.2
JK2 is a slightly older leaked (Not official OTA) firmware based on android 2.2
JI6 is the second official tmobile firmware for the vibrant and the first OTA update. it is based on android 2.1
JI5 was an official samsung update through the kies program (tmobile advised against using it) it was based on android 2.1
JI4 was a leaked (Not Official OTA) Firmware based on android 2.1
JI2 was a leaked (Not Official OTA) Firmware based on android 2.1
JFD is the original stock vibrant firmware based on android 2.1
each one has a different modem and so signal will differ a bit between them.
but the firmware version does not always mean that you have that modem (it depends on the developers preference, or your own a lot of 2.1 roms were based on JI6 but used the JI2 modem)
Ok thanks for that info. I believe I have jk2, is it possible to download just the modem from jk6 or not

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864925 <-- JL1 just the modem.
Thanks
UPDATE: So I flashed the JL1 modem and while GPS gets pretty much an instant lock, my DL speeds dropped about 500kbs, UL speeds went up about 100kbs?!? And signal stays pretty constant, though i still dont have anybetter 3G in my house. Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Im running bionic rom which is great compared to stock 2.2 but my data is really slow.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
That is because Bionix V uses KA7 modem and that is TERRIBLE when it comes to reception and data.
Flash a KA5 modem. Look under the dev forums for the clockwork flashable download.
That will fix your data and improve your reception.
Will do thanks, anyone else have suggestions?

I think you should use the JL5 modem I got crazy speed on my vibrant. Indoors I would get like 2.5mbs down and outdoors I get like almost 5mbs. Crazy good and I can't complain about battery life but maybe that's because I got a spare battery

We all seem to have differnt luck with different modems.
KA7 is the best for me followed by KA5 and JK6 but your mileage may vary.

has them all. Try 'em all out untill you find the best for you.
Its gonna be a crap shoot depending on where you live...My data was out for 6 days until this morning and I can only get Edge so the KA7 is working good for me and I ve tried em all.
Mileage may vary seems the best answer for sure. JL1 works best for me. No idea why but data screams. KA6 was alright, KA7 blows. everything else was just average.

Have you try factory reset? That seems to work for some people.
Or you can try flash modem to which ever version that works best for you. It seems to work for most phones...except few oddballs out there.
Asking won't help much, you just gotta test it to know which is best for your phone. KA6, KA7 all works for me.

Not that TERRIBLE. BOTH works for me just fine. KA7, I did not have to do clear anything.
Tried all them and so far ka5 is ok.. Ka7 has fast gps lock but slow data, ka6 has fast data, fast gps lock but very innacurate, telling me im 30 miles from where I really am. Jk6 has extremely fast data but no gps lock at all. Then theres the ka5 which gives me decent data speed and fast gps lock. Does the modem really have anything to do with gps ?

Hey guys I'm confused. I have a Samsung Mesmerize (US Cellular) and EC10 is the official Froyo build. Then I see mentions of EC01 in the Mesmerize forum, and in the Fascinate forum as well. It's supposed to be newer than EC10. If that isn't confusing enough... I'm now seeing mention of ED01??
Can anybody explain what the differences between these are? I am really confused.

EC01 is a renamed fascinate leak. And ED01 is official froyo for the fascinate. We have source but no ota yet.

Ah, ok. So do we know if EC01 is newer than ED01 or the other way around? And I'm guessing both are newer than EC10?
So are they same?

Don't know if they are the same, but they are close from what I gather
EC01 that we have is actually ED01. it was renamed EC01 so as to protect those who gave it to us.. or at least that is the conclusion I have come to given the provided information

Hi you guys. Please forgive a n00b girl's question... But...
I have had my fascinate for a while (Oct 2010) but at times the reception was horrible and I absolutely came to despise the stock Touchwiz ROM.
So, just as I was getting to my wits' end (and jump ship to a better phone), the official froyo release came along and most of my cures were answered. In an attempt to get the froyo upgrade to take (I had the dreaded update failure issue), I've rooted my fascinate and experienced the joys of custom ROMs, kernels, and mods.
So, now, I am LOVING the fascinate... But the signal still seems to suck compared to other VZW 3G phones.
So... What radio versions work best? I have the ED01 running on mine using the Evil Fascination 3.5.1 and OTB 1.3 kernel.
Do any seem to get better reception?
Thanks, guys! Keep up the good work!

I have updated PRL... Haven't tried EC01. Is it better than the ED01 that comes with the froyo OTA?
I'm using ED01 with the Community ROM. My device seems little faster with GPS lock than EC01 was but every device acts different.

The conventional wisdom is that ec01 was just a leaked-and-renamed version of what was shortly thereafter released as ed01.
It's possible that ed01 was a slightly later build... I've seen no consensus on either being better than the other, but ed01 was the one that got officially released.
More recently (last week), vzw pushed an ota update to ed03 which included a new modem. you can get ed03 by following the same instructions found here to "get to ed01 quickly". We've not yet seen a flashable packaging of the ed03 modem afaik.
I'm running the ed03 modem, it runs fine but I can't say I've seen obviously better reception than ed01.

I see that in the Dev section there are several Roms that appear to use a radio greater than ED05.
What are the current radios for stock and leaked?
Thanks
A partial answer is that EH09 and EI20 are system leaks radios.
So, in short I will be sticking with ED05 for the time being until I sort it out and find any information on stability.

Best radios, according to the majority of users are ec 09 and ed 05
tsm res1.2, TKSGB 11-06, lag fix
EDO5 is what I am currently using and have noticed better battery performance. I haven't seen anything of the ones you have mentioned. The EDO5 is the latest official release. I would stick with that. New radios or basebands that are leaked could possibly not be finished or cause horrible battery times. I would stick with what you have. Just my two cents. If anyone has tested one of these newer releases then post it here. I am open to using new radios if it makes battery life better than the ED05 baseband.

The roms based on eh09 and ei20 are from other galaxy s phones other than fascinate (mesmerize if not mistaken) which our awesome devs have ported for our phones. The radios cant be used on the fascinate so stick with one of the tried and true fascinate radios.

I think not. Most use ec09 or ed05 fascinate radios.

I have been out of the Fascinate loop for a little over a month. Let me just say that the devs here and an unlocked bootloader really make development much quicker.
What I am saying is that a bunch has gone on here in my absence.

between eh03, ec09, and ed05... ec09 gives me the best results >eh03>ed05. I have seen quite few people reporting they get the best speeds with eh03 but im not seeing it. I suggest trying all three and determine what works best for your area.

I think I will test ec09 and just see what I get. I'm not that impressed with ed05. I feel like I got better performance from eb01.

Not that anyone cares but I have been testing ec09 radio all afternoon and I get substantially better download and upload speeds than I did with ed05. Thanks for the advice guys.
