Hey guys.... I know that modem depends on which country/network you are etc.....
But for 4.2.2 (valilla rootbox) has anyone the ril files? Cause Probably I have messed it with not-so compatible and have large amount of battery drain if I have data on.... I saw somewhere something about openril etc but wasn't able to find anything more.....
Any help is acceptable
Thanks...
Open ril is what cm put into there rom so everyone followed. Don't change the ril as this will break calls/texs/data. I find that 4.1 has better battery on rootbox. Try that and see what you think
Look in the first few (say 5) posts of the unofficial slimbean thread by fusionjack. There you will find a link to a RIL /radio cleaner by codeworkx. That will clean any unwanted nasties and flash XXLS8 modem. Definitely worth flashing if you think your RIL is messed with.

thanks a lot guys... I will follow your hints
I know that probably 4.1 (if it is based on 4.1.2) should have better battery but I am not sure it will have all the toggles I amused to right now... We shall see

Hey Guys,
I have been reading a few threads but I am a bit confused (to say the least). I am trying to get the following questions answered
1a) Siyah 4.1 Kernel - Does this also do CWM? I got to Siyah based on creepnyncrawley's thread on doing CWM using Siyah but am now stuck with #1b below
1b) Siyah 4.1 Kernel only has a w/ mswap option. Per what I read this should be used only if we use I9100 ROMS. Can someone confirm/deny this? Also, is there a without mswap Kernel available
2) Jellybean - Being that I am still new to this any idea as to when we will get a stable jellybean build. The rationale being that as I am new to this I want to ensure that I use something stable so as to not brick the phone etc.
As said earlier - I have tried reading through things but admit to being a noob at this. Hope I am not asking folks to waste a lot of time
Thanks

1. No. just leave it how it is. changing recovery inside the kernel is not for noobs. our device is different from the rest.
b. mic swap/ no mic swap. one is for touchjizz and the other is for AOSP and yes, both are available.
stay away from the i9100 forums untill you know exactly what your doing. While these are similar devices, they are very much different.
2. ETA's are frowned on, asking for them even more so.
stable ROM has nothing to do with bricking. JB is stable for most. but still very much so under development.

In a horrible mood. FML. But im gonna be nice today o.0
To add more info, Siyah kernel includes CWM already, all custom kernels for I777 include CWM; it's in fact the only way to get CWM onto your phone. An additional warning: do not try to update/change CWM separately, as it's built into the kernel.
If I'm not mistaken, all custom ICS and JB ROMs are I9100 based, hence the need for mic swap/no mic swap. At least, Samsung-based ones are, not sure about AOSP/AOKP. And if you flash the wrong one, no big deal, your phone won't brick or anything, you just will sound very quiet to callers and you'll know you need to switch.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in any way.

1a) includes cwm.
1b) this will work with all current i777 jb ROMS since they're all aosp based.
2) CyanogenMod 10 (cm10) is stable enough for daily duty for most people and will definitely not brick your phone. Any instability you'll see will be in the form of battery drain, random reboots..that type of stuff. Not phone bricking instability. My advice is to try it. If you're one of the unlucky ones that has problems with freezes or battery drain then it's simple enough to flash back to something else. Either way, as long as you're following directions and flashing stuff made for your phone you will not brick your phone. The CyanogenMod team do excellent work and our maintainer, Entropy512 has put out a very good JB firmware.
My personal daily driver is cm10 with Siyah 4.1.1. I couldn't be happier compared to any ICS based roms.
I think the previous two posters have said it very well. I just want to add a couple of points on JB.
Since you are still new at this, perhaps you want to stick with ICS for now. JB roms for our phones, i believe, still have some kinks that need to be worked out, because, as i understand it (please correct me if I'm saying something dumb) Samsung has yet to release source code for certain key pieces devs need to build "native" jb roms for the 777. So, all else being equal, ics roms are more mature.
If you do stay with ics roms, you don't need to install Siyah 4.x, you can use Siyah 3.x with no problems. Siyah 4.x was created to add jb support, which you don't need if you stick with ics. The first post in Ktoonsez's Siyah thread will tell you which version you need (mic swap or not) depending on which rom you use...most roms, if not all, will already have the correct kernel built in.
oh yea, siyah does have a version of CWM huh. Always forget that its still CWM.
I was thinking OP wanted to change the version/style.

Your wrong. Crap in the ported section is from i9100.
android development is from source, or ours.
Mic swap has nothing to do with i777 or i9100. AOSP ROM's need a mic swap for the way the code is.

You're probably right about the mic swap, but you misunderstood what I meant about ICS and JB ROM bases.
What I meant is that the Original Development section houses ROMs that use an I9100 base, but are built for the I777 (Ported Development contains I9100 ROMs that have only been hellraised and are otherwise built for I9100). For example, ShoStock uses XWLPT- 4.0.4 as its base. That's obviously I9100, since there aren't any 4.0.4 stock bases for I777. The only ROM I'm aware of that uses an I777 ICS base is Semi, it uses the stock UCLE5 base. But these rules seem to only apply to Samsung based ROMs, and I have no idea how AOSP ones work. Can someone else clarify? I'm really starting to get confused now.
He Guys,
I have not gone AWOL on you. Have read the thread but have not been close to my PC to act on suggestions

I forget exactly what I was doing a few days ago. I installed AOKP JB on friday as my secondary ROM. Running Siyah 4.1.1 I had JB as seconary, and stock ICS as primary. When calling from STOCK ICS, I was very quiet, like I was down a hallway from the phone. That is when I found out about service mode and all that. Ultimately though, tuning noise suppression on or off (I can't remember which completely fixed the way I sounded, but it's an in-call toggle so you can test it easy. Then after that I swapped ROMS to that stock was secondary, and JB was primary. Everything was fine except when plugging in aux cable in car, I had to crank car volume up because phone was really low. There are other threads about that particular issue, but I never ran into it until then. So, all this to say, mic-swap might not be that big of a deal with two roms. I'm a noob, so all I can do is speculate.

Its extremely obvious, you sounded far becauze you are using MIC SWAP! Mic swap on stock ics means the mic where you would normally talk gets swapped with the noise cancelling mic. Just my 2cents+common sense

Yeah you can't use stock rom and AOSP rom without sounding far in one of them.

hello fellow xdas
while back i had gotten my hands dirty with the CM10 project as i just couldn't wait for the official update! i learned quickly that i had serious problems with antenna/reception. i tried carious base bands (as recommended on forums) using GetRil/flash.Odin. this didnt seem to help, even though i would get better reception, my signal was unstable. In the process i tried other roms like JellyBam and had the same issue.
As this is my main phone and i do actually need to call with it, i went back to the stock rom i downloaded. but surprisingly i still have the same issue! GetRil also shows that i have incompatible RIL/baseband. this is what it shows:
RIL: I9100NELP2; I9100XXKI4
Baseband: I9100XXLPQ
FYI: i am located in the Netherlands and use T-mobile network.
so have i installed the wrong ROM or done something wrong in the process... ? does anyone have any experience with this? i much rather have CM10 but only if i can get to call normally once again?
thanks

Use either of the 2 links below to download either the NELP2 modem of the XXKI4 modem, and them flash them onto your phone via Recovery Mode. That should resolved your incompatible RIL issue.

thanks a lot zee54,
can i just go back to my CM10 or JellyBam, install the above mentioned radios and get everything working? or does it depend on the RIL which that ROM is running! I have tried a number of modems when i had CM10, but dont know if i tried those... i did try BVLP7 for sure

The modem is independent of the ROM, mate. So it wont make much of a difference whether you install the radio on stock firmware or on CM10. You could try using the modems mentioned by zee54 with CM10 and seeing if it helps. Also, give it about a day or so..since the phone tends to take a while to get 'used' to a new modem.

The unstable signal or "RIL Crash" as it it called isn't actually caused by having an incompatible RIL and Baseband (modem). It is a more complicated issue which I don't fully understand myself. But what I do know is that it currently affects all customs roms that are based on CM10 and use the CM Kernel. So switching modems might help recude the frequency of the problem but probably won't irradicate it completely.
You should not experiencing this problem if you go back to stock samsung firmware. If you experience problems you might want to do a full wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvic-cache) before reflashing and fix permissions afterwards.
On a more positive note, I have found that using the Siyah Kernel with your custom rom does seem to eliminate this problem, or at least reduce it occurance to such that I have not noticed it happening.
So personally i would suggest that if you wish to go back to CM10 or JellyBam ROMs, then do so but also install the latest Siyah Kernel for the S2 from here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
(Here's the XDA Thread for the Siyah Kernel - [KERNEL] SiyahKernel v4.1.5 (v5.0a2))
I am currently running CM10 with the Siyah Kernel v5.0b2 and it is working very nicely
great stuff guys... 2x thanks for both of you!
Zeey54, i just had Siyah v5 Kernal installed, installing the latest JellyBam right now! so lets see what happens. i was suspecting that beside the RIL/baseband there were other factors as i did not see any significant difference between them. but then again i dont trust my judgement on such issues as my knowledge is quite limited.
will send an update with the result after installation in a few min.

installed the BOLP7 modem, overall reception is much better! data connectivity is also better and faster. but i still have some periods which my receptions drops and goes back up, seems like radio/modem crash (if im right). dont know if that is due to the kernel or modem or ...?
the reason i went for BOLP7 modem was because the latest official stock rom from t-mobile Netherlands was I9100BOLPM_I9100TNLLP8_I9100BOLP7, so i thought that would be the best one to try!
will wait a little more to see if this improves as the modem settles.
4th official ROM too much coverage you please make a review ?
need modem
First of all, thank you mate for your hardwork and awesome utility.
I have a Samsung galaxy S2 I9100G , recently flashed jelly bam custom rom. I am based in Saudi Arabia, the reception is not clear and people complain that it is switched off or out of network. I tried calling with another mobile and i got a response that my mobile is switched off, at the same time i checked my S2 mobile , it shows the full signal of the network in status bar.
what should i do? Which modem should i flash. the getRIL shows RIL/baseband is matching (I9100GDDLP5).
cheers

I pretty much disliked xxlsj because of the lockscreen freeze and some other minor bugs. Thing is the xxlaj moden worked awesome, and i`d like like to keep that. Is there anywhere where i can download this modem so as to flash it on my current rom ?

Okay then:
JB bugs & workarounds.
Screen Lock Solution.
Download the JB leak package so you can get the modem, or you might want to reconsider.
I've not personally experienced any of these bugs from JB. Am I not lucky now?
I have read that this might improve reception and battery life so I'm very much interested in matching that two to my phone.
I'm currently on temasek's 4.3 rom.
I live in Israel and ny provider is Orange.
I tied using getIRL but... I couldn't make it work.

You cannot and must not flash a modem + ril on aosp roms. You cannot and must not use getril on aosp and regardless, worrying about rils us pointless and makes almost no difference.
On samsung roms, only bother looking into rils if you're having serious issues. Otherwise ignore.
Aosp roms use openril. Do not do anything about rils on aosp roms

the thing is, i get a lot of wakeclocks for reception related stuff. How can I solve them?
If better battery stats shows clearly that, change just the modem, without ril (in aosp Rom if you change the ril you won't have any reception/call at all) as long as you don't have the proper result.
Be sure it's not an app providing this flaws.

greenified everything that could have done that. I dont have many apps either. still, i don't know what modem I need and where I can download it since all I've seen is for 4.1.2.

It doesn't matter. Try all modems (without ril). Modems are not tied to rom versions

I changed it to omega rom v46.1.
After I did that, I noticed my simcard wont read on my phone but would work perfectly on other phones....no simcard will read on my phone and I will just get an error message saying "not registered on network".
I downloaded GetRil and found out that my baseband and Ril do not match and I knew that this could be the only cause of the problem.
My Ril is I9300XXLE8
My baseband is I9300XXUFME7
Can someone please help me find the Ril that would match my baseband version.

Hey all!
So the NC5 update comes with a new modem (modems are labled as Baseband in settings I believe, correct me if im wrong)
So with the new NC5 update, with the focus being the new modem, it has me wondering about the effect that flashing new AOSP roms have on the modem.
AOSP roms for the note 3 have been merged to be compatible with all variants of the Note 3. So im wondering when one of these AOSP roms are flashed to touchwiz software... what remains as touchwiz and what is AOSPifed (for lack of a better word)
Im asking specifically because of the modem, if NC5 comes with a new modem, and AOSP is compatible with all variants, wouldn't the modem be changed? And a simple twrp backup of Boot, system, data wouldn't include the original modem... would it?
so far this is my understanding of what is and what is not effected by flashing an aosp rom on a toucwiz device-
Bootloader- not effected: note3 touchwiz kitkat booloater is compatible with all kitkat note3 roms, aosp or touchwiz
kernel- yes, changed to an aosp kernel, but a simple twrp restore of boot and/or system will restore the correct kernel you were previously on
rom- Yes you will not longer be on toucwiz based rom, but again easily restored correctly with twrp
and then theres modem/baseband- will the baseband/modem remain the same? how would that work if the roms are universally merged?
and I believe the standard twrp boot, system, data will not restore the baseband, as there is a separate modem option.
and I would be weary of restoring the modem on the note3 because after doing some reading in the note3 forums changing/replacing, or even jumping to older modems (NC5-NAB )without the engineering bootloader can be catastrophic (for lack of a better word lol)
So hopefully this post makes sense as I have tried very hard to explain the dilemma, any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
The radio stays the same .... There is a ril between the rom and the radio .... radio interface layer any radio will work with the aosp roms ... Hardware may get a little better signal with one over the other but they will all work. .. cyanogen or aosb etc paranoid they have ril just like the Samsung rom has ... The modem is separate software. .. like a bootloader is also

Thanks for the reply!
I think I understand the basis of what you are saying..so basically the modem/baseband will not be affected at all when flashing any aosp roms...right? and when you say radio you do mean modem, the modem stays the same?
Sorry I am clearly very limited in this area so I dont really understand what you mean by "a ril " or a radio interface layer. I sense they may be very complex topics and a lot to describe, so please dont feel you have to waste your time going too much in detail. Though of course if you have the time I would love to learn
But basically I hear I should be clear to AOSP flash away, without any issues with the modem. which is great!
thanks again! :good:
