Just because Omega doesn't include any other modem, it doesn't mean other modems won't work...
The modem is a completely different CPU/SoC which gets it's operating system from the efs partition and talks to the Android OS through an API.
I'm on modem ZNLF2 and it works flawlessly.

Just because Omega V8 is samsung XXLFB firmware version, on which any other Modem gives treble, so use only XXLFB with V8 as stated by the Dev. of Omega
Why don't you stick to stock XXBLFB
Have you tried making a voice call? Just to let you know that almost all the modems do not work with the new ota.

Hello gents.
I have a 1 dag old Galaxy S 2 and it's all good so far. I have a question. The phone switches from 3g to h+ automatically. The it seems that when I am not actively transferring data it stays on 3g then as soon as I start downloading or browsing or whatever it switches to h+. Is this a battery saving feature? I the reason I ask is that sometimes it seems to be in a loop switching from 3g to h+.
Thanks!!

I'm having the same issue, but only since I updated to KG3. Originally I rooted my phone with:
CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4
No issue with H+ / 3G.
I then installed Lite'ning Rom v4.2 XXKG3 and the issue started. My modem (PHONE) was then updated to KG3:
PDA: I9100XXKG3
PHONE: I9100XXKG3
CSC I9100XEUD1
I reverted to a stock XXKG3, same issue.
First thing I did when I rooted with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 was to backup everything. I reverted to my backup but obviously the modem remained the same:
PDA: I9100MUGKG2
PHONE: I9100XXKG3
CSC: I9100MBMCKG2
But I didn't have the issue anymore! So the modem update is not a fault here.
I did try to switch off fast dormancy, but it didn't change anything.
As you said, the phone goes to h+ when it starts transferring. My results with Speed Test remained the same, so I'm not to worried about it. I don't know how this impacts the battery. I can't really compare since now I use different cpu voltage.
Hmm. I will try downgrading to a KG2 kernel. Is this even doable / safe?
Thanks!!

That is totally normal I have that to, I think that is just for battery saving.

Yes it is, download the stock kernel here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
ZSKG2
OR
XXKG2
Then root with the correct ChainFire kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Please note that this wouldn't revert you to the exact software that was on the phone when you purchase it. The stock kernel from bell isn't available for download. Please note that I didn't try flashing to KG2 (only KG3) but I'm sure it's pretty safe.
Teslarage,
what are you running right now? You might already be to KG2... do *#1234# on your phone and past the info here
Thanks for the quick replies people!
I am running Cognition 1.31 with the ROM built in kernel which I believe is nepamphetamine (or something similar) along with the kg3 modem.
Would it be safe to downgrade the modem? I or should I try with a different kg2 kernel?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I tried with a different kernel, no cigar. Same issue...
Weird.
I'm pretty sure it's the modem. Any way to downgrade it? Flash the previous one with Odin? Which modem should I install?
I rooted my Bell SGS2 within hours of getting it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't switching (3G / H / H+) before I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. It is now.
Some people here say the switching is normal, however I'm pretty sure this didn't occur on the stock Bell firmware. Maybe someone who hasn't rooted yet can confirm.
I've tried many roms (Villian, Cog, MIUI, DevNull) kernels (CF, Ninpo) and radios/modems (KG2, KG3) and the issue remains. I'm pretty sure the stock Bell firmware, specifically the MODEM, was customized and since it's not leaked we're SOL. My stock Bell f/w (modem and kernel) was MUGKG2.
I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to Samsungs, this is my first so I'm learning as I go here. But I've owned a few HTC's and never seen this issue. My Desire ALWAYS stayed on H with the same SIM card and on the Bell network.

You can flash any modem you like with ODIN but I assure you I've tried and the issue remains. I think we need the MUGKG2 one.
I flashed kernel oz_kg2 to root and unlock and I always have the H+ on. I don't think it should be anything to worry about since this technically is saving battery. Can you guys confirm that your phones aren't affected by the AOS bug on KG3?

Did a quick search for AOS and nothing much useful. Something about battery drain? Mine seems ok.
I wouldn't be concerned with the switching modes if I wasn't also getting intermittent connection problems. Sometimes it seems as if my data just disconnects. The data icon remains in the status bar but I can't surf, download market apps, check gmail, etc. Usually have to reboot.

Argh. I can't wait until somebody releases the stock modem / kernel / firmware for Bell. I'm going to flash back for sure. I find my WiFi performance pitiful on every ROM I've tried and the issue at hand in this thread is incredibely annoying
It's not the modem the problem, if a revert to my backup
PDA: I9100MUGKG2
CSC: I9100MBMCKG2
There is no switching with a KG3 modem
Maybe it's the CSC file since it's related to the country and carrier related settings? Any way to extract that data ?

I did peak at /system/CSCFiles.txt of the bell stock rom but didn't see anything striking... Only saw the bloatware from bell: UNO, nova, the gps app, selfserve app, etc.
To see if the CSC was at fault I tried upgrading to two different version of CSC but the update failed each time... not in odin but when the phone reboots for the first time...
Im also unsure if my gs2 is at fault or if its Bell's network. My d/u speeds are very inconsistant. Last night I was getting 5 down and 2 up and to day I tested with my bro who has a HTC incredible S on Telus. He got 8 down and 3 up while I was at 4 down and 1 up. What I found striking in that test is that telus uses Bell's network and that his phone is not 4g. I should be getting better speeds I think. What do you guys think.

Yea, but LQ5 could also brick your phone, since it's not an official release and only a leaked version, I would advise vladbaca to stay away from it and try LPG, which is very stable, the WiFi bug is fixed and it has a good battery life.

I have RR 4.07 (Android 4.2.2 ) and having some problems .... before that i had stock Orange RO with 4.1.2 . My question is , if i flash this onto my SGS2 , could this cause problems ?
Yes. Never flash a modem +ril combo onto a non Sammy based rom. You could get signal dropouts or lost imei. Only flash modem, no ril. Search for hawkerpaul's modem thread, you should be able to find the same modem but without the ril. Failing that then find another modem thread and search for the same file without ril.

It is really important, that you made a clean install. Wipe everything including system, data, etc.
This was my reason for bad signal etc.
If something is left from old firmwares....you know what I mean
i know, i have wiped everything, but same problem, Maybe LH8 modem is different.
i think i come back on LH1.
Did you make a backup before flashing?
Yes with go backup. Why? I'm in LH1, and i have the same problem. You think it's my backup?
Edit : no, internet work, just my phone change all the time H+->3g->H. But in LH7, the phone take most time to change in H+, now, in LH1, when i'm using internet my phone change immediatly network in H+. It's weird.
I don't understand why my phone doesn't stay in H+ alla time, i have full bar of network.

I have been using custom roms for 2 years. Decided to go stock. I am in Australia, and my Galaxy S3 (T) is bought through a group called Crazy Johns, but they are owned by Vodafone.
I found a stock ROM:
I9300XXEMC2_I9300OXAEMC2_BTU
I flashed it successfully, and all starts up nicely. However, I can't get any cellular data. No calls... no data.
I manually try to connect to Vodafone network in the Network settings, but then get told "Vodafone unavailable".
I then tried to download a new modem, hoping that was the issue.
I got one called modem_RIL_CWM_I9300TDUEMB1
No luck.
I then thought, OK, maybe Vodafone isn't allowing my pone on the network, because the firmware isn't a Vodafone official one? But, that can't be right. I could have bought my phone from outside Australia.
Funny thing is, when I got the phone, it shows 'Crazy Johns' on the settings screen. Now, I have no mention of Crazy Johns. Is it modem related?

Mg5 and mg4 are the latest modem. If you were on it you can't go on the older one. You have to do 2 thinks: if you have the efs backup do restore, it's contain your imei, because now you lost it, or flah the mg4 or mg5 modem. But you find everything on the s3 general section.

Any chance you could help me out? I started a thread yesterday with my own problems with a couple of replies but nothing that really explained how to solve my problem.
I flashed a MIUI rom based on CM10.1 with a baseband I9300XXDLI8, because of wifi problems decided to go back to stock I9300OXAALE8 (BTU)
Had the messed up IMEI problem but my EFS backup I made in Dec 12 is only 32kb! Copied all files to efs folder on phone and got my IMEI number back but phone wouldn't accept my contract 3UK sim (no network - emergency calls etc) but would my O2 PAYG sim.
I flased a custom rom (GlamourS4) and ended up with baseband I900DDEMG2 and build I900XXUFME7. I was advised to reflash because my baseband was different to my firmware, downloaded latest BTU from sammombile and phone now reads:
Baseband I9300XXEMG4 - Build I9300XXEMG4 but I'm still having problems with my phone not accepting my 3 sim but ok with O2 sim. Phone is on 3 contract by the way.
Sorry to hijack someone's thread but getting a little desperate, old age is creeping in and I'm honestly finding it difficult to understand the talk about modems etc.My original help request is HERE and has screen shots if it's any help. Thanks in advance
