Hello all, its been a while.
My fascinate died the other day so I borrowed a relatives old one. It came stock and I upgraded it to the latest cm 10.1 nightly then straight to cm 11 android kit kat 4.4.2. After everything was all said and done the phone was running great, the only problem I am having is sending MMS messages with pictures. I checked to see what modem was installed, I think it was eh03 but I could be mistaken. Thats when I remembered having the same issue or similar issues with cm 10.1, I was able to fix that problem a while back by flashing ec09 with odin on my other phone. So naturally I flashed the EC09 modem to this phone but nothing has changed, the picture messages wont go through . I checked in the about section in settings and it shows EC09 is installed. Also I remembered using phone in odin to flash it last time so thats what I used this time, is that wrong?
Basically I am wondering if anyone knows which modem I should be using or if anyone knows of another fix to t he problem.
Also I have been having a lot of trouble finding download links for all the other modems so all I have used are EC09 and EH03.
MMS usually has nothing to do with the radio, it's an issue with the ROM unless the modem was improperly flashed. i use EH03 without issues, it gives me the best results.. i think.

Has anyone seen where it won't get a signal or notice your sim card. Instead I just always have a circle with a slash through it where the phone signal meter should be. I've tried returning to stock and had no luck. I had loaded Macnut R9 and then the JPM802 kernel. That froze up the phone so I went back to the JPM800 kernel and its been doing it since.
Is it dead?
You might need to flash back to stock 2.1 thru Odin to see if that fixes it
I have flashed it to 2.1 and to the new Froyo and nothing fixes it. I think the hardware may be out. Didn't know if anyone else had seen it though.
It doesn't even recognize its own IMEI. Guess I'm contacting Samsung for a repair.
Actually the other night, I experienced no signal (with a circle), nor data (3G or E), nor wifi - kept on saying connecting than disconnecting. Only read Emergency Calls Only and I was on MACNUT R10 Rom. Similar to you. I resolved the my issue and it may apply to you, was try to reflash macnut 9 or 10 rom over your previous MACNUT ROM without any other additional kernal flashes. Just flash the rom which comes with a kernal built in. See if that corrects the issue. Before you do, remove your sim and place it back than flash the rom.
Yeah, I tried going back to stock, going to the new Froyo Stock, different macnut ones and more. Never could get it going.
Unfortunately I can't post this question in the thread that the issue originated from but :
last night I was on com rom 2.0 with OTb1.6 kernel and ec01 radio. I did the ODIN flash to DL09 modem and then up to ED04. Had no issues at all. This morning I decided to take the plunge into gingerbread and used this thread here JT1134 CW7. I played around with this for a few hours and didn't seem to have any issues besides the known bugs. So then I decided to up to the newer rom by nemisis2all
Nothing seemed to have any issues in the orange CWM while applying the update
Now I have no signal.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Also is there a link anywhere for just the original kernel from JT1134 CM7 test build 06/09
EDIT: looking at the phone status is says baseband unknown. So I think I'm just going to wipe all and go back to the original 06/09 build byJT1134 unless anyone has just the kernell.
Thanks up front

You should try flashing a recent modem first to see if that resolves the problem. I am using EC01 just fine with the 6.09 build from the thread you linked. I have noticed on occasion mobile data will drop, but it seems toggling wifi fixes that (cannot say for sure). But I have not had any problems with voice signal.
It is still an alpha, so keep that in mind, but it has been working great for me.
with the ED04 modem, I did have the signal drop for a few moments earlier, but it seemed fine after reboot. and I have noticed that the mobile data does drop occasionally after being on Wifi for a period of time, but reboot seems to fix that too.
Ya i even just tried to flash all 3 times data, dalvik, cache and then install the CMW7 test 2 from JT again thinking it would jsut revert to the old kernel included in his and work again. But it is still no signal and no baseband version.

I probably should have read in a bit deeper, in order to flash to the ED04 modem I actually had to flash back to a touchwiz rom then flash over the DL09 and I used CWM 3.0.x to flash up to ED04. I had tried to do it in the orange CWM that came with CM7 test 2 and it failed multiple times. After I had gone back to DL09 and updated modem I just flashed CM7 back over and have not had much problem since other than data dropping.
I Just Odin the modem back to DL09 and then CWM Orange from DL09 to ED04 and working again. Thanks for the input guys.
here's my problem:
when ever i leave phone to be in deepsleep mode,
i cam back to find it looking for GSM signal with no hope,restarting fixing the signal.
tried diffrent roms, CM7, MIUI,with all kind of kernels nothing works
phone condition is fine,did't drop it or hardware issues on it.
was working great for last 6 months, but after i flashed a ton of diffrent CM roms this starts to happen,
my thoughts:
could it be a NVdat.bin issue doing this?
if so, what i can do to let the phone re build fresh ones,
+ i have old backup of EFS folder.
can you share your thoughts please?
I had the same thing happened to me and my friend's phone in the last week. Both running the ported gingerbread roms. Had to Odin back and finally working. Not sure if it was the Rom or something. My phone says it shows a baseband of UVKB5 which is the correct modem.
Finally flashed back to froyo and had it working, now just reflashed a gingerbread rom and it's working again.

will try this option today and give a feedback.
thank u
Edit:
odining back to JFD solved the problem.
So, xda won't let me post this in the actual ROM post, but I was wondering if anybody else was having this issue (or new a work around). After installing the ICS Passion V4 ROM, I've completely lost all service (says emergency calls only in the notification tray).
I tried manually setting a couple things in network settings but nothing worked. I eventually flashed back to Froyo with odin and all is well (so it's not a hardware issue).
Any suggestions?
after flashing passion look in setting - about phone and see what's listed under baseband. It should be T959UVKB5. If it says unknown you need to flash the KB5 modem that is in the OP.
Ahh, duh! Now that you say that I remember reading that exact thing and making a mental note to try that if I run into problems.
Thank you so much! I'll have to give that a try when I get home tonight, I'll update if it works.
Yup, that fixed it. Thank you!
Now i have that problem
i have no service either and i did flash the KB5 modem. not sure if im doing anything else wrong. my baseband says unknown and and its been the same when i had cm7 running.
any help??
Hi,
We have 2 Vibrant phones. 1 is on Paranoid Android 2.54 (via stock eclair, ICS Passion, Slim Bean 2.9 & 3.0) and works perfectly.
The second one was on ICS Passion for a long time and I have finally got around to (trying LOL) to update it.
Here is where the weirdness begins - Flashed PA 2.54 no problems, flashed and booted up, but no wi-fi, well no wi-fi icon, and it can find a couple of wi-fi networks belonging to my neighbours, but won't find my network, 2 rooms away. The network is obviously all good, I am sending this from my laptop through said network.
Obviously I need an internet connection to get through the phone setup, so I power down, throw the SIM back in and boot up only to find no cell data either.
Skip the google account setup and get to the home screen to check things further and I find:
Calls in/out work, and most things are running, but wi-fi won't co-operate, and nothing in the APN list? Baseband and IMEI all look normal, too.
Try to flash Slim Bean 2.9 as I put the zip on the phone at the same time as a fallback and I get EXACTLY the same thing...
Anyone able to shed any light on what would cause this? Anything else worth trying? I'd like to avoid Odin as it honestly scares me reading all the problems people on here have with it...
At this point I've tried flashing both ROMs a few times with exactly the same results, I also can't go back to the ICS nandroid as the partition setup has changed and the restore doesn't work...
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Cheers...
I ended up flashing a 4.2 ROM (slim 4.2 beta 1) and it made the problem go away, I'm guessing something in the 4.1 base was broken and not getting overwritten on new installs?
ROM seems pretty sorted for a beta, few minor things not working, but hopefully it gives us a clean upgrade path...
Thanks.
I had the same issue with Slim 4.2 Beta 2. If anyone has a solution other than flashing the modem, please post.
Weird. The phone I was having this problem with now has that ROM on it and is working 100%.
I have a suspicion that flashing a ROM that uses a different kernel is what fixed it for us. I guess it just overwrites/replaces more stuff?
Maybe try hellybean 4.2 and see if it makes a difference, and if it does flash back to slim 4.2 and see if the problem comes back?
I have installed slim and other ROMs but not had this issue. Currently on jellybam

The weird part is that every other Slim Bean has worked great. I'll keep my fingers crossed for beta 3.
