Hi... Anybody know how to make ODIN Flashable modems?
I heard its dangerous to mess up with modem and bootloader so I am humbly asking for your help on how to make one for myself.
I'm currently in philippines and I'm using I9300XXEMA2 with Modem I9300DXELK1.
I wanted to extract the modem on the firmware either from my phone or from my PC (using full firmware 800+mb in size) and make a ODIN flashable TAR.
My Reason is this..
I want to flash the latest android update for my Galaxy SIII and at the same time I want to use the latest Modem from the country I am in right now which is Philippines.
In short I want to flash the modem I9300DXELK1 (latest) over the latest firmware from other Region.
I am looking forward for your favorable replies.
Thank you very much.
Have a look in Perka's Stash. He got your modem as flashable Odin in there.

since moving from 2.3.3 to to 2.3.5 ive had stability issues and signal drop outs.
ive kept the kf2 modem during the change over and suspect that i may need to upgrade the modem to the latest version compatible for telstra and i will also move to 2.3.6 (stock) soon.
what is the latest modem version that works nicely with telstra's 3g network in AU.
Both Voda and Telstra sell the I9100T which uses a different modem to the international model. Last I heard, the latest modem was released by Voda - I9100TDUKJ1.
But you might want to check / ask on the Aussie forum below.

There is also a modem thread which has all the worldwide T model modems.
Edit: modem thread. Check post 3

Is the file above able to be flashed via odin or is it for a rooted phone with clockworkmod?
At this stage my phone isnt rooted.
CW. If you want to flash it with Odin, extract the modem.bin file & put that in the "phone" section of Odin & away you go.

so .bin will work fine in the phone section of odin.
shouldnt it be in the tar.md5 format?
Hi,
I have a Telstra (Australia) Galaxy SII with the version information :
PDA: DVKF4
Phone: DVKF2
CSC: TELKF3
I found the thread which contains the links to a number of different firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
There are so many version there, I don't know which is appropriate for my phone.
Telstra has not released an update and there seems to be no plans to do so. The phone is still at V2.3.3. Great network, crap customer service......
I would like flash the phone with a genric rom so I can receive updates.
Can anyone advise me on what ROM I should use for Australia?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
John

Charlie,
Thanks for your reply.
I found the Telstra section and I am still confused.
This is what I found:
Australia
DVKF4: http://www.multiupload.com/UAZPBM0XAS
Firmware info: PDA DVKF4| PHONE DVKF2| CSC:TELKF3
DVKF4 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/91ID4RZEMO

What is the difference between the downloads?
I assume the first link is the ROM I currently have in my phone. What is the Stock Kernel?
Regards
John
PS: I need an idiot's guide.

The first link includes the rom (stock im guessing) along with the second link, which is just the kernel.
Are you trying to flash a custom rom, or just official, because the download link rom is probably no different than the one you currently have on your phone. (if you havent flashed any rom yet)
If you are trying to flash a custom rom, I dont think any custom rom allows you to get the official update. (might be wrong)
I see.....
What I am looking for is an official generic ROM that is suitable in Australia.
I used to have an SE X10 before it died and I had a generic ROM flashed from the DaVinci site.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 has a truck load of official ROMs and many Frankenstein ROMs which I assume are the custom ROMs.
My understanding is that if you flash with a generic ROM, you will get official ROMs when they are released by Samsung and you don't have to wait for your doppy carrier to provide a their cutomised version.
Is this correct?
Yes. If you flash one of those official firmwares from either of Intra's threads, you should be able to receive OTA updates via Kies. You can also use a PC app called Checkfus (search for it on here) to get official updates normally available via Kies (if you can't get updates via Kies for some reason).
P.S - For future reference, questions go in Q&A

Dont flash the Frankenstein firmware then:
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates

Dear members here,
Can i just ask or know if its ok or advisable to flash other region ROM (eg XWLP7)on my SG2 as i am from singapore and baseband version is DXLP9 (ICS) or DXKL3 (GB).
Thanks.
Yes, you can flash a stock rom for another region. You more than likely won't be able to get OTA firmware updates tho if you do. You'd need to re-flash stock firmware for your region in order for those to work again. And even if you do, some people still end up having problems getting OTA firmware updates once they've done so. Which isn't a massive problem as it's easy enough to flash firmware updates for your region via Odin (many people on XDA have done this).
Also, make sure to use a firmware for a model suitable for your phone.
I9100G can only use i9100G firmwares and kernels...
I9100, I9100P, and I9100T can all use each others' firmwares and kernels.
Thanks for all the advise.. i have loaded a baseband of NELP3 and its amazing...
Hey guys,
I've been doing some reading and trying to work out the best way to dump a copy of my CSC so that if I flash in a new custom rom from another country that has JB that I can then load in my original CSC to get the settings back.
I've seen this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106502
But one of the first things it says to look for CSCFiles.txt doesn't exist on my S3.
Is there a better method for backing this up? Additionally would like to backup my modem just to be 100% sure so ran through another thread to backup the modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705650) but the backup image came out significantly larger than the other modem files I have downloaded and the MD5 doesn't match what is supposedly the same version modem.
And one more question, I found some time ago a really good thread explaining the firmware versions as there is B firmware and C if I recall correctly and the relation of these to the modems and why flashing the wrong one can have issues. I haven't been able to locate that thread again to bookmark it, if anyone can point me in the direction of this it'd be awesome.
Beacuse there is none..all the Firmwares are more or less same with little region specific customizations..
You can flash any firmware if you are okay with the region specific changes..
There is no need to backup your modem you can get it easily from here..just note which modem you are using currently..
CSC again does not make much of a difference other then providing you with region specific customization and updates.....you dont need to back it up ..you can change you CSC using dialer or CSC changer from the market..

I understand I can flash any firmware, hence asking about the CSC's to be able to retain my regional customization's.
Modem was more a paranoia of making sure what I have is exactly what is available on here. E.g. pull it out MD5 and compare. I'd rather be sure and pull the modem out myself and confirm.
I had seen references to B type firmwares and about using specific modems with certain firmwares for compatibility.. Hence the question regarding this.
I've got the CSC changer but isn't that only able to change the CSC to the ones in that firmware? From looking at the firmware list in some of the reference threads that listed the CSC's they came with they didn't list my region.
Basically I want to know that when I flash in another firmware, in this case the 4.1.1 from the UK that I can load in the CSC and get the region specific customization's back and at the same time have a route back to the original modem and firmware that I have taken backups of myself.
With that all said the modem issue is sorted but still need to confirm I can migrate the CSC from my current firmware to the new.

Yes copy your original CSC folder and files to the new rom then flash it .

Hello,
I am giving my S2 to a relative and looking to get my phone back to stock. I have the stock rom on my phone but am using the Siyah kernel. I've been looking through XDA and Google to find the stock kernel for India XWLST 4.1.2. I know the entire firmware file is avaliable on SamMobile but I am using a metered connection. If someone would be so kind to download the firmware tar and extract the kernel image in .tar format, that would be appreciated. Thanks.
