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

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.

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 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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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......

Is there any way to tell before flashing?
Hi..i have a Three UK network phone which i have unlocked using method described on xda...however I'd like to debrand it by installing another ROM and unroot...will i lose the unlock in this process?
Also, if i downloaded ROM from samfirmware, how can i apply using odin as there are a few files included? I'm not very technical when it comes to various intricacies of Android ROMs!
As always thanks for your help in advance...

You can flash any firmware you like, and later a csc to match UK or just enter the APN settings manually. XX UK or XE/XW European etc, but as I said, doesn't really matter. For best data speed, connection etc you need to then flash a modem that best suits your carrier. Best to just try.
For the latest modems, some flashable via Odin and in CWM recovery:

I cant seem to find a decent easy way to root that doesn't involve risk of me bricking my device. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks. After I rooted I'm getting pretty bad data and services connection. I was getting fine speed during the day now it's only in edge. I'm using atnt mvno. Did the root break something??

Nope. Rooting didn't cause that.

There is absolutely no way? It's keep magic all of a sudden after my phone rebooted I can't even get good signal, I was on hspda+
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Root has nothing to do with signal.
Root is some binaries pushed into system/bin and an apk put in system/app.
Try flashing a new modem and see how that works out.

thanks, or can you point me to how to reflash the original modem again?
The original modem??
Rooting doesn't change the modem so it should still be the same one.
There are a few different ones to try so see which works best for you.
I'm in Ireland on 3 and the LF5 radio is great for me since I flashed it.

Sorry still getting used to the lingo. I picked up the zip flash able for the modem you are referring to. So I can just flash in recovery? No wipe anything? How do it revert back is there is a problem. I'm on XXALF2

Did you download the .zip or the .tar?
Flash the .zip in cwm or if its the .tar one you got then flash it in Odin/mobile Odin.
You can always go back by flashing the original one back again.
I'll post a link for it in a sec once I upload it to drop box.

You revert by flashing your "old" modem.

Yup, modem is baseband.
I posted 3 dropbox links in the post above for 3 different modems.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
My current baseband is XXLF2, it's not listed with your links. How can I revert if something happens? Also are they listed in order of release, I'm in the USA if you can recommend one.
Thanks for everything
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Its the XXALF2 link.
You can try all 3 and see which is best.
XXLF2 was pretty good for me, DXLEA was only OK and XXLF5 works best for ME! YMMV.
try them out, it won't do any harm.
Search for mobile Odin on xda and download it and it makes everything extremely simple.
Just pick the file and mobile Odin does the rest.

Cant see anything relevant from the attached screenshots, so I can't just flash these in recovery one by one?
You can't flash .tar files I'm recovery, they are for Odin only.
Download mobile Odin lite from that page you posted and the flash kernel for I9300 in the 3rd or 4th post.
Otherwise just use Odin on your PC.
You may be able to find .zips to flash in recovery if you search.
Also you could buy Odin pro from play store and it will download flash kernel automatically so all you need to do is open it, select the modem file and hit flash.
Just to be 100% certain, you have the international version right?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks. So all I have to do is browse to the tar file and hit flash. I'm still on the free version.
And this won't affect my phones performance just the radio?
Finally I can revert to everything back by flashing the first link? Thanks
