Usual warnings: I'm not responsible for what you do to your phone blah blah blah
I yanked the radio out and flashed it via ODIN from the update that's been floating around for those that want to play with it. Flashed it on mine and doesn't seem to have caused any issues (at least on CM). After a day's worth of testing I am noticing that I do get better reception in areas that are trouble areas for me normally.
Note: CM didn't like the new DSP in the NON-HLOS.bin and gave me no audio. I reverted back to just using the new modem.bin file for now and the revert file here can be used if needed. This will restore you to the old HLOS and modem. Just flash the modem.bin below by itself without the HLOS file if you just want the radio updates.I have removed the HLOS file and instructions for the time being until developers update ROMs to be compatible. Using the updated modem is fine by itself.
- Download File
- Flash modem.bin in ODIN under PHONE and wait for PASS! (ODIN did seem to hang for a moment while the phone processed. Don't panic)
- Reboot (if you didn't have it set to do so in ODIN)
- Profit?
Post your results/findings to help other users
Note: If your phone has rebooted and hasn't cleared "reset" into "pass" in ODIN it's not the end of the world. As long as it was successful flashing (lower left corner of ODIN) and is currently booted into android after reboot, you're fine.

Can you try the apps2sd or hdr video?

That would require coding rather than just pulling files. As I haven't coded since the Thunderbolt era... I'll leave that to the guys that know what they're doing. Cameras in particular are always a pain in the ass.
I am willing to give this a shot since you mentioned it helped with your signal in your apt. In my case my location is kinda problematic because of how close it is to Verizon's home network, but I am physically located within the extended network. So in my apartment my signal fluctuates quite a bit, and more so depending on which room I am in (my living room must be close enough to get the home network, but my bedroom is just outside of it's reach).
**Just got done and here's the results - I was able to flash the modem.bin you posted on my stock rooted phone and right off the bat things seem to be better signal wise. After rebooting the phone there were no issues that I can see or find, everything seems to be functioning correctly. Phone calls seem to sound a little better (I have no idea if it's a fluke because of the hour or the new radio), and data hasn't been impacted at all.
I also noticed a small improvement in the signal strength readings, but I will keep monitoring it to make sure it's not a random fluke.
According to this thread over on the GSM side, one should be able to flash NON-HLOS.bin the same way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
As I understand, this is also a modem file -- the counterpart to modem.bin, but I am unclear as exactly what functionality is embedded in this image.
Edit 1: Looking at the text strings in the NON-NLOS.bin file, there are a lot of references to voice filters, gain, pitch, speech, agc, etc, and even "European digital cellular telecommunications system 4750 ... 12200 bits/s speech codec for Adaptive Multi-Rate speech traffic channels". Seems like this file is mostly vocoder-related stuff.
Edit 2: Google led to this: http://www.anyclub.org/2012/06/acdb-audio-calibration-database-images.html
It mentions that if "If any of MPSS, DSPS, WCNSS, or LPASS is recompiled" NON-HLOS.bin should be "updated". DSP - digital signal processor, WCNSS = "Wireless ConNectivity SubSystem (WCNSS) driver. The WCNSS is a new Hardware integrating WLAN, BT and FM technologies that is built into new MSM chip." I can't definitions for MPSS and LPASS, but MPSS is mentioned in some Qualcomm job listings relating to Modem Test Technicians/Engineers, so it seems logical that these two files should go together, but given some have had hard bricks when flashing other parts of the firmware, I'd be cautious.

Flashed it on mine and doesn't seem to have caused any issues (at least on CM). Don't ask if it's better or not. I literally just tested to see if it would work and not brick and that's the extent of what I've done so far other than sending a text and making a phone call to make sure everything's good.

Just flashed it, will give results in the morning (or afternoon, depending on where you're at).
You weren't kidding about Odin pausing up for a bit .. the phone had reset and was already running for about a minute before Odin changed to "PASS" ... so hopefully everyone is patient!
Thanks for this!

Got it thanks!
EDIT: Flashed both with no issues.
OP (or someone else) should create/upload an Odin flashable .tar.md5 of both modem.bin and non-HLOS.bin (after testing). Here is info/instructions:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=155
I'm not sure which file should go first in the .tar.md5 file, as order apparently matters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278152 seems to imply NON-HLOS.bin should go first.
Edit 1: Yes, non-HLOS.bin goes first. See PIT directly from my SCH-I545 while still on MDK captured by Heimdall:

I don't have a linux box and wiped recently so i don't have a linux box set up to create a single file to flash. If someone wants to do it and beats me to it I'll gladly link it in the op. Until then i've re-uploaded elsewhere for bandwidth.
OP Updated.
Can someone link the files to revert back to MDK modem and hlos, just in case?
EDIT: Found it
http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic.../Modems/TAR/SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Modem.tar.md5
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------
Just a heads up for everyone, after I flashed the updated modem/non-hlos files my back speaker and wifi wouldn't work. I flashed back to the mdk versions of those files and everything working like a charm again...
CM didn't like the new DSP in the NON-HLOS.bin and gave me no audio. I reverted back to just using the modem.bin file for now but I'm leaving the instructions as they are because I haven't seen anyone else post the issue. I put this note in the OP as well.
Hi, I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question. I'm trying to flash the O2 specific modem onto my Galaxy S3 which currently has the stock XXEMG4 firmware (and modem on it)
I initially tried the following command:
Code:
heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
and it tells me that the Partition modem doesn't exist
okay, so I've printed the PIT and it tells me the partition is called radio. I found an issue where they said they added the flag --radio and so I tried:
Code:
heimdall flash --radio modem.bin
This is my result:

So entry 10 clearly says radio, any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
Also probably not the place to ask but while I'm here - is it okay to just flash a radio, I don't want to root or change anything else, just change the modem to try and improve the crap signal O2 give me
Modems can be changed see the modem thread .

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question. I'm trying to flash the O2 specific modem onto my Galaxy S3 which currently has the stock XXEMG4 firmware (and modem on it)
I initially tried the following command:
Code:
heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
and it tells me that the Partition modem doesn't exist
okay, so I've printed the PIT and it tells me the partition is called radio. I found an issue where they said they added the flag --radio and so I tried:
Code:
heimdall flash --radio modem.bin
This is my result:
Code:
Heimdall v1.4.0

Some points:
-Flashing recovery.img completes successfully but I can't boot to it.
-Flashing boot.img completes successfully and boot successfully.
Some solutions I tried :
-Flashing CWM recovery or CF root to access recovery then use busybox to flash sboot.bin, param.bin and tz.bin but I can't boot to recovery.
-Flashing BOATLOADER with PIT and re-partition enabled but did't work (same odin output).
-Flashing bootloader to sd card to boot from it (some say it really works but it didn't).
And some solutions I'm thinking of:
-Send it to JTAG service (but it's not available here)
-Flashing SGH-I747 recovery.img to restore bootloder.
-What?!
I need you help and your advise guys.
Sorry for my bad English
I've not heard a single case where a wrong flash was fixed by reflashing software alone. You'll need jtag at least, probably a new screen and/or motherboard.
Check out the 'dead boot solution' thread in general forum.
I have an i9300 bought from UAE having stock firmware and stock recovery (not rooted).
But it wont boot and is stuck on Samsung's boot image.
However when I booted up into recovery, along with the Recovery option it said it wasn't able to mount or find some volumes....
So I looked up some post and tried installing CF-Auto-Root for i9300 and later TWRP-3.0 for i9300 using Odin 3.10.7 but both failed.
And now I am stuck with only Download Mode.
I also looked up for firmware but found two different versions XSG and LYS and also for Android 4.3 (I remember having 4.1.x)
Also I tried printing the PIT using heimdall which worked as expected.
It would be great to have a backup of my files, if I could atleast mount the internal memory.
Is it possible to access the device using adb via some way in download mode?
Also is there a way I can re-flash the stock firmware? If yes, than which?
[EDIT 1] Here's my pit file

Heimdall does not work any more. It has not for a while. You must use odin.
