My understanding is that on the I777 the modem and the kernel are combined in one partition. Although I've installed several different roms so presumably different kernels, my modem has stayed the same: I777UCKH7
Is there an advantage to trying different modems? How would I do it?

Modem and kernel in same partition? What?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Can't believe you have flashed several roms and the modem hasn't changed. Most of the newer roms I have flashed have included the latest ucmd8 modem.

If he's been flashing AOSP-based roms they won't change the modem, so it's conceivable he's had the same modem across different flashes.

I may have misunderstood what I read. I thought it meant the modem was always linked to the kernel so it can't be flashed separately. Now I'm just plain confused so don't mind me. ;p

I'm confused about why you'd pick one over the other. Are you looking for newer/faster? The best one for where you live? The one that runs best with your Rom? I had a lot of problems after I tried to flash the ucmd8 - May have been coincidental but either way the modem didn't work.

Can someone direct me to information about modems? The development thread referenced above lists a number of modems, but doesn't tell anything about them. Is one better than another? Is the latest one always the best one? The development thread used to have a map, but it has been removed. Are some modems better in some areas than others? I am trying to find the one in my area (central California) that has be best reception in a limited coverage area.
I am running the latest version of AOKP dated 6/24/13 and the baseband version (modem?) is i777UCKH7.

You answered your own question right there - flash them all and give each one about a day to see how your reception is. The map you're talking about was removed ages ago because it became corrupted.
In the end no one can tell you which one is better for you; just because it's the latest modem doesn't mean anything at all, in terms of reception/quality.

Thanks. It sounds like there is no reason to start playing around with modems unless you are actually having reception issues and then it's totally trial and error. My modem (UCKH7) seems ok here (southern CA) so if it ain't broke...

Hey
Flashed this any everything works apart from my phone cant find any network nor data signal. Tried flashing different kernals and modems but nothing works. Some people have had the same problem but no luck either.

No voice NOR data signal? Sounds like the modems that came with the ROM you flashed aren't compatible with your network. Try the modem thread.

Shipped modem thread.
Doesn't seem to be anything that specifies which are used by T-Mobile of any particular country though. You could ask around and see if any T-Mobile users in your country can tell you what modems they are using in their phone.
I don't find a "hydroxygen mod v1" ROM when I search. Are you referring to "HydrOG3NMOD V1.2"? If so, it may be better for you to post in that thread asking if any other users of that ROM are experiencing the same issue. Maybe some additional steps are necessary.
But if you don't get help there, I'd suggest you reflash a stock ROM first (from Intratech's official stock firmware thread) and make sure you get voice/data signal. Then reflash whatever ROM you're looking at, but remove "modem.bin" from the package before flashing so you retain the modems that work.
Thanks alot man really helped and sorry my bad. Meant the one you posted the link too

Hi,
Does anyone know of an ICS ROM for the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100T model?
You can use any rom for the I9100. Makes no difference.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I already installed an ICS ROM intended for the regular model, and it is very very buggy. The internet connection is very bad.
I did some research on the Web and what I understand it's a problem with the modem. The modem for the T model is different.
I'm in Israel on the Pelephone network.

I have a GT-I9100T and have been using various ICS roms, including the CM9 nightlies, for the past month or so. At the moment, I'm running Resurrection Remix.
The modems included in the latest roms have all worked fine for me, so all I've had to do is re-add the appropriate APNs If for some reason it doesn't work with the included modem, just flash a modem file from your carrier or another local carrier that uses similar frequencies.
There's a collection of modem files from different carriers globally on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
With the official release of ICS today, I expect that we'll be seeing updates to all of the main one-off roms within the next few days, including updated kernels and modems.
I have a gs2 i9100T and running remix ICS 9.6. It is fast, smooth and stable.

Can someone please tell me what the difference is between gt-i9100 and the gt-i9100t?
Would a custom gt-i9100 rom still provide full gt-i9100t features?
Thank you
I9100t is optimized for 850mhz network you can flash any rom but you may have to flash your modem back on it afterwards but dont flash a i9100g rom on it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Different SAR values , which means different radio output, which as 7tOny4 said means works better with 850mhz network.
I9100t's tend to get better connectivity/data speeds with modems specifically for the I9100 T (but not always), dependent on location & network.
Yes I9100 roms provide 'full features', as there are no I9100T specific roms given the slight difference as per the above. If you find you're getting good connectivity/data speeds with the modem you're using now across all locations you use the phone/all times of the day (using it at one location at one time of day is nowhere near a proper test), no need to change the modem even if it is an I9100 modem.
If you do ever have problems with connectivity or data, you need to keep trying modems till you find one that works. A Google search with XDA appended to your search terms will yield you plenty of posts on here that link to both I9100T/I9100 modems.
THE DIFFERENCE IS ALMOST NOTHING, EXCEPT THAT THE I9100T WAS MADE FOR SPECIAL COMPANIES, LIKE VODAFONE, IF YOU WANT TO FLASH IT YOU CAN USE ANY I9100 ROM EVEN STOCK I9100 ROM, THEN WHEN YOU TURN IT ON IT WILL READ I9100 ON THE BOOT LOGO, SO THERE WONT BE ANY DIFFERENCES AT ALL, BUT YOU MUST DO A FULL WIPE, AND BACK UP YOUR EFS FOLDER BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, HERES THE GUIDE, I MADE IT MYSELF, PLEASE AS I HELPED YOU, HELP ME AND PRESS THE THANK BUTTON
He didn't ask about flashing, so go flog your 'guide' (i use the term loosely) somewhere else.
P.S - stop using all caps. Makes you look like an idiot.
Cool, thanks guys. I was thinking that would be all it was. Was asking cos I got a vodafone sum but bought a Telecom SGS2 as the gt-i9100t was $100 cheaper than the gt-i9100. Don't like the Telecom splash / boot screen

NO. T-Mobile download and upload speeds are Incredibe and Insane! This is just what we're able to pull with the port, which isn't bad. It's actually better or equal to Sprint 4G in my area on my NS4G.
I just switched from t-mo due to UL speeds of .1 to .4 mbps using the blaze modem and the foil mod. DL speeds were 5-8, sometimes in the red zone.
Went to Straight talk for the att towers and switched to the latest ucle 6 modem. I am a little disappointed in the speeds. Avg. 3-4 mbps down, and .7 to 1.5 up. The only good thing is call forwarding works and You Mail is functioning- the only thing I missed on t-mo. Will have to think if it's worth it for $15 more a month.
I hope this question is not a stupid one...
I want to say that I tried searching and all guides come either outdated with broken links or just designed for a different model.
I have a Galaxy Note SGH-i717R which is a canadian version. I cannot find a current working rooting method that will guide me through installing a CWM or TWRP recovery plus let me flash CM or any other KitKat based ROM.
I have downloaded:
CWM-TOUCH-i717-6043.zip but I know I can't install it until I root. But all rooting guides are outdated and do not work.
I have a good idea on how to root and install custom roms, I've done it on various phones including on my Nexus 5 and 7.
Can anyone give me a link or a quick breakdown of what I need?
I can't stress enough that this is a SGH-i717R not SGH-i717, i have a Canadian Version.
