I want to install a new modem, but I'm going to be running an older kernel than the modem. Will this combo work fine?
I run the opposite. I match my modem to the carriers firmware, and flash back modem after the ROM and kernel. No problems with speed or connectivity. You can only try....

Any modem can run with any rom.

Yes but sometimes Modem must be compatible with the Android build...
try
so you can try and if the new modem isnt work on older rom then reflash old modem too
Yep, pretty simple really. Extract modem from Intratech firmware thread and flash with Odin, our search for some of the CWM flashable modems. Try and test......

Hi Guys,
Im currently using CM7 nightly build 20 and noticed that my modem was still in I9100XXKG2
Now i hear the latest modem is KG6 and is supposed to address some battery issues.
How do I go about upgrading it without screwing my custom rom over? Previously before i popped on CM7, Samsung KIES would handle it all for me.
I have a i9100XXKG6.zip with Code file, CSC File, Kernel file, modem file and PIT file
Do I just use Odin in (vol down, home + power) to flash just the modem file and then re-root with superclick?
Thanks!
Easiest way is to use codeworkx radios in rom manager. You can flash that over your existing radio without messing up your CM rom.

There is a sticky thread with every radio, download the one you want and flash via odin
Or if you have rom manager premium they are all available via that.
Just so you know, the radio version that's best is very region dependant

Nice swyping. Tee hee.
Based on reviews in Rom manager I went for KG3 over KG6.. No complaints from me..
Hello guyss, Can anyone tell me how to flash a Modem in Galaxy S2 through CMW or ODIN. And which file is the Modem file in the .tar/.zip folder... And If I flash a modem of different firmware so will it cause any problem....

this thread contains a list of modems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
You use odin but instead of PDA, you will use the phone button.
You can use different modems on different roms according the region you live in.
Only problem will be no or poor reception, if you chose the wrong modem.. To fix simply flash another modem.
Flash through CWM if in .zip format.

I think you can use mobile ODIN and flash a new firmware there.
Thanks was hoping there was a simpler way as he only just managed to flash a rom. Is it possible to flash a stock kernel through siyah.
Thanks

23732 is right. But to make it more precise - open your stock TAR rom file in mobile odin (all partitons in the app will be filled in). Then clear all of them but kernel. Then flash only the kernel partition. No need to flash anything more to come back to stock kernel.
I have this problem: with stock CM 10.1 installation files, sometimes people are not able to call me and I am not able to call others. I only can fix this by restarting my I9100 or turning on and off airplane mode.
I asked about this issue in this forum, and one man recommended to install custom modem. So I would like to ask, what kind of modem should I install in order to fix this problem?
Thanks.
You can try the app Getril, from the play store. However I'm not quite sure what is meant by a custom modem. There is a thread here that has modems matched to RILs but as yet non have been made for 4.2.1. I looked there this morning. All I can suggest is try a fully clean installation or roll back to your previous rom.
All the best

By modem I mean that file which you choose when you install custom rom through download mode in odin's "modem" section.
I see, all the modems I've ever flashed were in zip format done via CMW. Sorry I can't be of further assistance.

Yup. On xda, you'll find that majority prefer the use of CWM recovery over odin since it doesn't increase the binary counter and is much easier. Simply download any modem for your device (which will be in a .zip format) and flash from recovery.
Remember that modems are not rom or android version specific. A gingerbread modem can be used with a jellybean rom.

By custom modem i thought he was referring to the modified modem/ril zip files that are better than those supplied by the Getril app. In that thread it states not use GB or ICS files with JB roms. Thread attached for your reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31416701

Before the release of the leak (XXLSJ), many were on cm10 (4.1.2) with older modems/rils, usually those of ICS. It does work, but maybe its not so optimised to work on JB? I dunno, I'm not that much of a technical expert...

Hello all, whilst flashing many ROMs some of them have changed my modem. And was wondering if anybody has a good Canadian jellybean compatible modem? Thanks!:thumbup:

You are still not getting it. Flash the ATT ICS modem. Flash a Canadian ICS modem. Flash a Gingerbread modem. All on the forum.
There's no such thing as a Gingerbread or ICS or JB modem. The modem is universal to all galaxy s phones, so you can use any you please.
The best modem for your situation is the current modem, the LF6.
