They are one and the same. HTC we call it radio. Samsung call it modem. Modem is what it is called in Odin so that is what they go with.

Many of the partitions have multiple names, for instance;
mmcblk0p2=mdm=modem.bin=radio
mmcblk0p1=apnhlos=NON-HLOS.bin

Yes, just make sure the modem is for your device.

Is it possible on the SGSII to get updated radio drivers and installing them, without flashing a new kernel, or other new stuff other then a new radio or modem driver?

Not entirely sure what you are asking, but i'll go with: Yes, check out this thread. Flash the modem by putting the file in the 'Phone' section of Odin, good luck.

Thanks just the answer I was looking for.... Does it cause compatibility issues? For example KG6 modem flashed on top of KG3 modem with KG3 firmware? Or are there no issues for the most part?

No issues. However a modem that works well for me might not work well for you. The best thing to do is usually flash the latest and if that is no good, flash the latest one before that etc. until you find one that you are happy with.
Hello,
I have seen several threads in General section about flashable modems and wondered- what does the modem do?
Is it in charge of the wifi + 3G data?
Thanks a lot in advance!
not for wifi. but for the mobile data.

Edit: Let's say I try the LI8 modem and isn't happy with it, can I flash over it the LI5 modem (the one I currently use) without wiping anything?

It's good to make a dalvik wipe all the time to change a modem or kernel ,spesial in kernel you can use (ultimate cleaning kernel).
The others who can say for modem is improves the yield of gps and the phone signal ....

Thanks I will try that.
And if I upgrade from LI5 to LI8 the modem is automatically updated with the kernel?

Hello everybody. Yesterday it was released 4.1.2 ell4 base for Baltic region. I am from there, so I would like to have modem from that base. Maybe anyone know how to extract and get the modem? I have already downloaded that base. Or maybe anyone already have the modem separately? I want it because I have sometimes problems with place recognising or mobile internet connection.
extract from the tar and odin which ever modem you want.

Hey,
my Phone only supports BUEMF2 Modem. (Other Modems can't read IMEI)
Is there any chance getting this Modem to work on 4.3?
No, it's prior to the efs format change at EMGx so won't work on any 4.3.

Hmm, ok. What about Custom Roms? Or can I throw my S3 in the garbage?

Read the answer posted .
Custom roms yes provided its not 4.3 or later .
Its all in the faqs and guides .
I was using the S2 with Jelly Bean. I found the phone to heat up very quickly around the camera lens and top of the phone rather than when running on Ginger Bread. I then installed the Resurrection Remix Custom ROM v5.1.3 with KitKat 4.4.2.
But the heating problem is still there. Checking online I found out that the modem was the problem.I found the KH3 modem was the best for the Galaxy S2. I was wondering if installing the KH3 modem was appropriate on Custom ROM or can modems be installed only on Custom ROM???
If it can be installed can anyone guide me how ... BTW I am using the phone in India ...
Please reply the overheating problem is driving me nuts.
Attatched is a screenshot showing my phone information.
You question is a bit confused (because you haven't taken the time to learn 'the basics' like 95% of people who come here), but the answer is yes. Modems are interchangeable between Android versions on the S2 & not dependent on same; I.E you can flash a modem that was bundled with stock rom that was a different Android version to the one you're currently running (whether stock or custom, makes no difference).
As to how to flash a modem....C'mon....
This is absolute basics, you should know this stuff back to front inside out if you're flashing custom roms.
In other words, search.

Usually a modem file size should not exceed 10 MB. You can even flash the modem via cwm. On xda you can find links for such files.

That's not required. Just keep a flashable file of your current modem, just in case you want to revert. I mean, download it and keep it on your phone.
For India, ddls9 also works quite well. I have seen good results on xxls8 too.

If something happens and I restore the phone from a backup of the phone , will the firmware baseband be restored or thats something else??
Firmwares are included in the backup or not??

I am not very sure about that. My guess is that it doesn't backup your modem with the rom backup.
