Data had been working fine and dandy, but one day out of no where it just stopped working. I called ATT and after a long conversation the rep. told me that my phone kept trying to connect to the wrong tower... she tried resetting, twice. Still no look, she suggested going to one of their repair centers but meh.
Since my phone is running cm9, I figured that the modem changed from the one the phone was shipped with or something and something might of have happened on ATT's end that made of broken it out of no where. I figured I should start by changing modems but the map that used to be around here has disappeared apparently. I don't know if that would be the issue to begin with
Any suggestions on how I may go about fixing it?
phone info:
CM version: 10-20121013-unnoficial-i777
kernel v.: 3.0.15-cm-g58f3e07
baseband ver. i777ucle
android: 4.1.5
Thanks a lot
I was on the newest modem and had many problems as well. Had to revert back to UCLE5 and haven't had anymore problems. Look in the stickies of the development thread and u will find a whole $hit-pot load of modems to flash.....surely one will fix u up!

Yeah I found the threads with modems, but before going willy nilly flashing modems I wanted to know for sure that it was a modem issue and possibly, a way to find the best one for my location (Oceanside, NY). I might be asking for too much though
U just have to try and see what works for u....there may be a way to see what's best for a certain area but I've never seen it. I'm in Myrtle Beach SC and UCLE5 is best for me ATM.

"This year’s CTIA Wireless conference in New Orleans is surprisingly short on major new smartphones. But at last night’s MobileFocus press event, I happened across a fascinating, one-of-a-kind handset which I hadn’t seen in person yet: Mozilla’s alpha version of a phone running Boot to Gecko, its project to turn the web technologies behind Firefox into a stand-alone mobile operating system."

Because its not for our device, it may or may not work with broken calls/keys but I haven't tested it myself.

Out of curiosity, why would anyone decide to flash it ever? It's not like play store will be accessible. It's a feeble yet very stupid attempt by Mozilla...

Honestly I don't have any details about that OS.
Thats a pre Alpha...
For sure another "player" to this market will be a good thing. More updates, more releases, more everything.
Funny thing on that picture is that it is an International sg2 but there is an AT&T logo there. Check the pic.
That's most likely the carrier its being used with, which is perfectly normal considering the tech site is probably located in the US.
I think its a neat different Idea... Do I think it will go anywhere like android and ios? Not really (would be cool if it did).
I would flash it, but only when its ready for our phone. I would love to at least try it. Who knows it could be the next best thing since the cheese wheel!

There is a flashable zip somewhere in the original thread in the i9100 forums. I'm using it, I just don't get to use it because I have to build something which I can't do...
i777 with B2G
Boot2Gecko uses a different kernel from Android, still Linux, but with many different things compiled into it. If you go to the page with the i9100 image, you'll see a .tar.md5 image, which is really just a TAR image with some extra. You can untar it and get out the boot.img, which is the kernel. You can then use ODIN to flash the image, and if it is inoperable you can use Heimdall to flash the boot.img directly as the kernel. I stopped quickly with this because my i777 only partially worked with no radio on the last try, and it became unusable quickly. It was also getting extremely hot near the top of the unit, so I went and flashed back the AOKP image I had been using previously.
My attempts to build from scratch have been unpleasant to say the least, and it seems the Nexus is on the list of hardware along with the i9100, but the i777 and i9100g and others are not on the roadmap yet.
For those who want to know what this is, it's a Linux kernel that boots into a special version of Firefox, and then uses web documents and web standards to do everything. All of the OS is coded in HTML5/JS/CSS and has new JS implemented for controlling and using the phone's hardware. The "apps" are websites that are accessed remotely and then cached so that they do not have to be updated until the remote version changes, so the OS can upgrade extremely rapidly.
I'm looking forward to seeing this remove some of the mess made by the manufacturers and providers, and to see some much needed user control brought back into the system.
Big question since i'm brazillian, WHY BRAZIL?

I don't know much about modems but I'm on cm10 right now and wondering if I need to change my modem at all. When I look at my phone it says baseband version I717UCLE2 is this the correct modem and if not how and where do I flash the correct one for my rom? I have searched but don't really know what I'm searching for, wasn't sure if the Tom included the correct modems, thx guys

Are you getting lots of dropped calls? If you already get good service there isn't much reason to switch.
If you want to do it it's pretty easy.
You use CWM or TWRP recovery or Odin3 on a pc.
Then you simply flash the modem zip and reboot.
Nope no dropped calls is that all a modem is for? I get good signal and all that as well. I don't want to fix something that's not broken. Thx for ur help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I would stay on that modem. Yes, the modem handles calls, sms, mms, data. If you are good with these services, stay with your modem.
Deleted since I gave bad advice.
False: Nandroids do not contain the modem.
To test one out you would need a zip of your original modern to flash back to, a nandroid will not restore it.
VoluntaryMan said:
If you're just curious you wouldn't hurt anything by doing a nandroid backup and trying the UCLF6 modem. If you get worse signal or anything you can always revert to the backup. I personally like being on the newest version of everything.

There are many posts from users who borked their IMEI by flashing a modem. That number identifies each phone on the network.
My i777 is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'm very excited, its my first Android. I've been researching custom firmware and stuff like that for about a month around the web. I just have no idea where to start. I believe my phone still has some form of 2.3 on it, but it could be the current 4.0.4 ICS.
From what I understand, I update the drivers on my computer with Kies, download Odin to root the device and then what? Or superoneclick? I'm interested in CM10 but I know the bugs are still being worked out. I need my camera, MMS, bluetooth, 3g data, at&t radios, mhl, Touchwiz toggles, all the functionality with no soft keys at the bottom. JB would be great if its possible. Other wise I might as well just update the phone to stock ICS and root it for other stuff I want like sixaxis and over/underclocking apps.
There is a reason we have stickies

There's things like KK 2.3.6, is that custom GB firmware? I know there is lots of information but no where to start.
pretty sure it would make more sense once you actually have the device in hand....seems pointless to create a new thread asking how to get started when you dont even have the device yet.
use it for at least a day or 2 before you start messing with custom ANYTHING
hell, dont even root it right away. just use it as is to get a feel for it, and verify there is nothing wrong with the hardware....if you just jump in and flash custom firmware, how will you ever know if an issue was hardware or firmware related?
Interesting, good point Pirateghost. I was wanting to put custom stuff on there while I had access to a computer this weekend. Might as well wait though. I'll have a laptop to mess with everything at my own pace by Black Friday anyway.
If it is still running GB, should I upgrade it to ICS, or would that hinder the root process when I want to do that?

The second part of your reply is absolutely spot on.
The first part i dont agree with a 100%.
I too plan to purchase the i777 model in the not too distant future, and its always a good thing to start reading early. Just like getting a feel of the stock rom/hardware is essential.. its always a good thing to read up well in advance. By the time a person is analyzing the h/w.. he is in a position to relate with other user's experiences.
I too was reading up all the stickies and really did got stuck up with the KK6 2.3.6 thing mentioned right at the start and no clue/legend being mentioned as to what it was. I googled a lot and many results had the same thing.. simply started using the terms w.o any hints.
It does gets confusing tbh you know
The thing is, I understand and know the stock hardware and firmware very well already. I have been using my girlfriend's GS2 from Sprint, the "Epic 4g Touch" since she got it in May. I've used it with GB and then ICS in August (I had to tell her to stop ignoring the notification, the update was a good thing!), but it will be good to evaluate the item to fully determine that everything is good with it.
It seems like in your first post, you steered yourself away from CM10, but everything you listed works except mhl I believe. And if you really want that, you will be able to dualboot into shostock once Siyah kernel gets updated.

So CM10 is good for everything except mhl...what about stock ics from kies and rooting it after that. Is that simple to do?
I'm interested in project butter and all but even ics would be great as long as its not a CPU hog and laggy. I know it runs fine on the epic 4g touch.

I have an Note i717M from Bell Canada that I have unlocked and using t-mobile radios to work with Wind.
For the last two weeks I had nothing but great reception and no black outs. I recently installed Black Star since I tried that ROM I have had almost no connection. I re-flashed ICS Blaze radio which I was using on Stock and CM10 with no issues.
Now no matter what ROM I flash I can't get connected for more then two minutes.
Not sure if anyone can think of anything that might cause this.
I am convinced it's not the radio because it works with my rogers account just fine when I flash the stock radio back to the phone.
Also I can connect to Wind Away on the stock radio no problem and stay connected with full bars.
Could it be the kernel?
Got it working I had to do the full flash in odin each of the partitions. Something must have been corrupted pretty bad. As soon as i flashed all the stock partitions and booted up and got the ics ota. Flashed icsblaze and back to full connectivity.

It sounds like you just needed to add the right APN settings to the rom for it to work. If you decide to try blackstar again makesure to copy down your APN settings you are currently using.

I guess he used this rom to back to stock.

By the way, It's 2.3 stock.. not ICS.
Yeah I went back to bone stock.
Here is the funny thing I have 2 notes, 1 rogers, 1 bell. When I use the rogers phone on darkstar absolutely no issues.
The bell version, it completely knocks out the AWS radio that I use and I am not able to restore it for some reason.
I had to reflash all the partitions to restore it. Tried 3 times same result on the bell version.
Wonder what's different in the i717M vs the i717R

Unless you have a keen understanding of how to partition a device, dont try.
Rather, use Odin or kies to push the factory image to the device, and let it run the partition mapping for you. Otherwise, you can damage the device and brick yourself.
Read up on all things note, in the general section at the top. Use the "super thread" and find the issue you are looking for.
Also, you can general search for the answers, as they are covered in many threads in this section.....g
Hi, I'm a bit confused when it comes to modems/radios. I currently am on i717UCMD3, and it runs pretty great on T-Mobile. But I want to find another modem to see if it's any better when it comes to reception. However, I can't find any other modems that are for jellybean. I was wondering if anyone had links or anything to other modems?
Thanks!

Read here, here and here proceed at your own caution
As long as its a modem for this device, you can flash away. Take em all for a test drive. Just flash modems, no need to reflash rom with them.

I am on At&T and have never had an issue with whatever modem comes with the rom. Then again, I treat the modem like I do the kernal. It should work with whatever comes with the rom. If it doesnt, for the most part, I wont run it. Right now I am running Hellybean. I was one of the first to try for our device. Lots of options and doesnt suck battery like the KK's.
