what is the best radio (modem) for Note Bell ICS ? UCLF6? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello what is the best radio (modem) for Note Bell ICS ? UCLF6? .. i am still new to it but after ICS official on my Bell note (SGH-I717M) the modem or communication signal is not working intermittently when using LTE signal and when it happens i have to reboot my phone ..
I thought that maybe by upgrading the modem (signal) it would go better but what would be the best for Bell Galaxy note ICS ?
I have seen things like UCLA4 or UCLF6 ... but honestly i cannot know which one for Bell and what is the best one ...
Thanks

I was on perfection roms for a whicle and had tried pretty much all the firmwares. So far the best one is the Stock ICS one.
if someone can post a guide on how to extract the modem, i can do it tomrrow for you.

Would it be the UGLF4 ? the one you are talking about .. as it is the one i have for Stock OTA Bell Galaxy note with ICS ..
Do you know so far if LTE has issues with ICS ?
My other question would be UCLF6 is it for Bell or ATT only or such or for any carrier ?
Thanks

I'm also having the same issue as you. I upgraded to ics on my bell note and sometimes it won't register the network and I would have to reboot.

thats correct it its : I717MUGLF4

Someone could say what it would do if i would flash the modem to UGLF6 or UCLF6 (could make a typo) ? ... would it work good with Bell and be ok ? or just for ATT ?

By the way ... so far if i block the network to get anything but LTE . it seems ok ..
So it seems to be a problem between that version and LTE network .. but i am just a beginning in cell phone .. could not tell for sure

All the the Note modems have the LTE issue unfortunately. I have the same issue and the issue was widespread on all the roms and modems I have tried since May (mostly UCLE and UCLF modems).
On all of those modems, I had to disable LTE to get a solid signal. I did this with a dialer code. If you keep the stock Bell modem and rom, you don't need the dialer method...just go into mobile networks and select GSM/HSPA(AUTO) option (this option did not exist via the settings panel on the 4-5 other ICS roms I used)

The other concern I have now is that I flashed the modem of my bell g note with UCLF6 and when I tried to flash to BMUCLF4 bell. ... IT works but then when I reboot it still remains UCLF6 as a baseband. ...

Can someone with a stock Telus Note post screen shot of phone settings?

I'm interested in seeing which radio, kernel, firmware etc are on the phone. I want to see if i717D will work on Tmobile with no tweaks at all. T989d (telus) works perfectly on tmobile. Hoping the I717d (telus) does as well.
I'm running a stock telus rooted with dag, then reflashed stock kernel,but it keeps the root ... Its very stable . I provided a screen shot

[Q] I9300 vs I9300T model

Hi guys,
Sorry guys for what might appear to be a noob question, but is there any major differences between the I9300 and I9300T model? and more importantly, will I9300 ROMs work on a I9300T model S3? or is the difference so minor that it won't really matter?
I have only just noticed that my model had the T. If someone could clear that up or shed some light on the matter, it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
I flashed it with the I9300 Italian latest rom with no issues at all. So I think they are the same, I think the network locked ones come with T, I got mine unlocked at the store where I bought it. It was Vodafone stock.

I'm guessing there must be some hardware difference. A different model number usually (always I think) indicates some hardware difference. Just adding a letter though, is usually the smallest difference of all.
The i9300 is capable of being locked, or at least it would seem to be considering it has menu functions for it. Could be wrong on this though, maybe it can't.
The T model is tuned to favour the 850mhz band. There is a difference in hardware but very minor. Other than that they are the same.
Just Google i9100 i9100t (S2 model) and you will find alot of info. Something about different sar value.
Anyway, as for flashing you'll have no problems. Firmwares are interchangeable. Same with the S2 but on the S2, it was better to flash a T modem afterwards for optimum reception.

I'm really curious about this coming from a gti9100T to a gti9300T I have found zero difference in using Tmodems vs any other

Oh ok. The only reason I ask is because I was on Sammobile and noticed this warning which stated "Do not flash I9300T roms with your GT-I9300 device!" so was wondering if firmwares were truely interchangeable.
I've been on Slim ICS on my I9000 for a while and was looking forward to flashing it on my S3, but was unsure if it would be compatible. I've tried asking in the thread but haven't got a response and thought that mayb someone else in the community could just confirm this for me.
but also from the little reading I've done, it appears that I can flash any I9300 custom ROM on my T model S3 and will just need to flash a T modem later. If someone could just confirm this, it would make my decision to flash a custom ROM a lot easier
Thanks

The T model of the S2 had a chip in line where the non-T model had just straight through wires. I was speculated that this was some sort of band filter that attenuated the non-850Mhz bands to favour the 850MHz range.
From experience I can say that, on Telstra, the S2 T model occasionally had crap reception where a non-T model right nex to it was fine. I believe this was in areas where the Telstra 850MHz network was unavailable and it was using on of their 2100MHz towers. Eventually, afer a lot of troubleshooting and flashing different ROMs and modems, I sold the T and got the non-T model.
I would NOT under ANY circumstances get another T model unless one of these useless clowns (Samsung, Telstra, Vodafone and the likes) actually tells me in writing what the difference is.
I did a hardware comparison with my friends GS3.
He has the I9300 and I have the I9300T.
Once both phones were flashed to the same ROM (Vodafone New Zealand) using ODIN, the only difference I could find (including the hardware that were listed) was the bootloader.
I just used first 3 apps I could find when I searched "hardware info" in the Google Play Store.
They all gave me the same results saying that the only difference was the bootloader.
Also we are both on the same network (2Degrees) which uses 900Mhz.
I have yet to have a close look at attenuation to see if there is any real difference though.

oh ok, that's quite interesting. I'm not very familiar with bootloaders (it was never an issue on the I9000 for me and so don't have much experience with it), but when you say the difference was the bootloader, what do you mean exactly?
you mentioned that you both FLASHED to the same ROM (Vodafone NZ), was that through ODIN or through CWM? As I've mentioned in the OP, my main concern is whether or not I am able to flash a I9300 ROM on my I9300T S3.
I'm no rush atm, as I'm waiting for a stock Aus VAU firmware to be released as a precautionary measure before I start getting into the custom ROMS, but just wanted to know so I can start researching which ROMs to flash once I'm ready
If you could confirm whether your I9300T model was able to flash a regular I9300 custom ROM, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you've got any recommendations as to which ROMs are good, that would be helpful too.
Cheers

yeah I ordered mine online and didn't realise it was going to be a T model S3. If I had known, It would have most likely affected my decision to purchase the phone. From my experience on the I9000, it's always so much easier to have the full international version (more compatible ROMs, more options, more support etc) and having any variants (not sure how much of a variant the T model is) is always abit more troublesome
I'm just hoping that the I9300T is compatible with the vast majority of custom ROMs out there for the I9300, otherwise I'll be hating life for the next 2 years
you mentioned that you both FLASHED to the same ROM (Vodafone NZ), was that through ODIN or through CWM?
If you read on, just after I say that, I say "using ODIN", so yes I did it through ODIN.
If you could confirm whether your I9300T model was able to flash a regular I9300 custom ROM
Yes, I9300 ROM's can be flashed on to the I9300T. They use the same hardware AFAIK.
The only thing you need to worry about is flashing the right modem, but if your network uses the standard 900Mhz band, then you'll be right.
When I got mine they didn't tell me it was the T model, but after flashing a stock ROM instead of the branded ROM, it was fine and I didn't notice any problems.
All you need to do is flash a I9300 stock ROM then flash CF-root using ODIN to root the phone, then you can use CWM to put any ROM you want on the phone.
EDIT:
A bootloader is basically the stuff that interfaces with your hardware right at the start.
You should never touch this because if you screw up your bootloader then you can kiss your phone goodbye.
Flashing custom ROM's is safe because they never touch the bootloader, thats an entirely different procedure using ODIN.
The only reason I want to touch the bootloader is because I want to know the difference between the I9300 bootloader and the I9300T bootloader.

Sorry, I must have missed the fact that you mentioned you used ODIN, but thanks for confirming again.
I've done some reading through XDA already and I've gathered that some people have been flashing regular I9300 ROMs on a T model S3, but that's only through looking at their sig, which may or may not always be up-to-date, so again, thanks for confirming that too
It also appears some people using the T model have been using the regular modem, and with better results too. I'll probably try experimenting between the 2 variations of the modem and finding the best fit for myself
I think Chainfire's CF-Root is compatible for both I9300 and I9300T models, so I should be ok to root and just get straight into the custom ROMs without flashing a stock I9300 first
and thanks for that brief bootloader explanation. seems like if I get CF-Root running, I should be good to go with the custom ROMs so won't look into it too much, but it's good to have a better understanding of it.
Many thanks for all your help so far

Ok. Let me explain what I've noticed and hopefully clear things up.
I had the S1 non T and flashed the guts out of it.
Then got a T model S2. Running Optus sim. Got poor reception when I flashed an international rom + modem. Turned out all I had to do was flash a T modem anytime I flashed any custom or i9100 rom. But, as mentioned I could flash anything I wanted.
Now, I have a T model S3 with the same setup, and thought it would be like the S2. Turns out that it doesn't require a T modem for good reception. I use the lf5 modem and its just as good if not better than the T modems I've tried.
So, for the S3 flash any rom you want. If it does suffer poor reception there are plenty of T modems available in xda in cwm and Odin format. But don't think you'll need to.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't upgrade to the S2 so was not familiar (or even aware) of there being a T variant. As such, was not sure how much of an impact that would have when flashing roms. I just knew that a lot of people had issues when flashing the I9000 roms on a variant of the S1.
But now that I know that any S3 custom rom should run fine on my T model S3, I'll start flashing once a stock AUS VAU firmware has been released (in case anything happens). I'm also using this time to see if there are any hardware faults with my device, rather than running a custom rom and finding an issue, and not be sure if it was there with the stock firmware or not.
And again, many thanks for clearing that up. I can now start searching through XDA for roms (that appear stable) and then flash once that stock firmware is released

No problem.
Earlier I saw a thread where a Vodafone Aus firmware had been added. It was in cwm format so all that needs to be done is flash and unroot + clear counter. Phone would then be stock.

Yes, I have an NZ I9300T and the Vodafone NZ ROM works fine when you flash (install as you say) it with ODIN.
Thanks for your fast reply mate!
One more question. I have rooted my phone, do I just download the NZ vodafone Rom, and flash it using Odin? That simple?
Sorry if I seem stupid lol. New to android after 3 years of Apple.
Again thank you for your help
Note: I have already download the rom was approximately 750mb in size.

Bad signal

I got the SIII i9300 and I upgraded it recently to 4.1.2. I don't know if it's from the upgrade or from my new carrier but I got some horrible signal (including indoors). It will show H and full bars, but when I try to call out the bars drop, it goes from H ro G and even a lost signal. So I don't know if its a ROM issue (it was a rooted stock BTW) or the radio needs a update.
Any thoughts? The provider is Play in PL.

How do I install it?

Use Odin
OK.
Ill give that a try. It seems my ROM is a SG version :d'oh:
If it doesn't work I'll reflash my ROM with the PL unbranded which has the correct RIL.

Theres an app called getril where you can auto-match modem & RIL or just check if they are compatible if you dont have root.
I don't know where you live but I can recommend you to try out the XXELLA baseband / modem - simply the most battery and signal reception friendly baseband for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Do not forget downloading and installing correct RIL thru getril-app from Google Play for stable signal reception..

Using ROM from another provider ?

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question but can I use the ROM from different provider in my tablet ?
I have a P7500 with canadian provider videotron who will not upgrade to ICS or JB. I've been trying without success to use CM 10.1 but I'm wondering if I could flash with an official rom from another canadian provider and upgrade via kies or ota.
I'm assuming everything should be compatible since videotron and rogers both use hspa+ network but are the roms from sammobile unlocked ? Would their Rogers rom work with my Videotron sim card ?
well im using a custom rom with rogers provider
custom roms are not provider dependant.
even using the voice call modem (baseband) and it works great.
i dont see why not..but recovery from odin should not be a problem
in other words difference between rogers p7500 and videotron p7500 is it's bloatware that is not in custom roms
My question is not about custom roms, it's about the official roms available at SamMobile. Are they locked to their providers ?

Bell modem file only for ICS ?

Hello group,
I would like to find back the modem file only to flash with odin or cmw for ICS Bell Canada ...
I installed JB sandwich and I am stuck with the UCLF6 US modem .. the problem is that instead of looking for H+ and LTE only, the priority goes to 3G and 4G which i dont want ...
Thanks in advance for any working link or upload ...
