latest modem for telstra network.

since moving from 2.3.3 to to 2.3.5 ive had stability issues and signal drop outs.
ive kept the kf2 modem during the change over and suspect that i may need to upgrade the modem to the latest version compatible for telstra and i will also move to 2.3.6 (stock) soon.
what is the latest modem version that works nicely with telstra's 3g network in AU.
Both Voda and Telstra sell the I9100T which uses a different modem to the international model. Last I heard, the latest modem was released by Voda - I9100TDUKJ1.
But you might want to check / ask on the Aussie forum below.

There is also a modem thread which has all the worldwide T model modems.

Is the file above able to be flashed via odin or is it for a rooted phone with clockworkmod?
At this stage my phone isnt rooted.
CW. If you want to flash it with Odin, extract the modem.bin file & put that in the "phone" section of Odin & away you go.

so .bin will work fine in the phone section of odin.
shouldnt it be in the tar.md5 format?

[Q] Upgrading firmware with Odin

Hi guys I just wanted to know if what I'm about to do is the correct method to upgrade my firmware from gingerbread to ics.
I bought my phone ( i9100 ) from Hong Kong and I live in a different country. So when there was an update for its firmware, i was unable to receive it even after checking for updates through system. So what I'm about to do is use Odin and download a firmware from samfirmware under HK's firmware and put it in the PDA part of Odin and run it.
Is this method correct? Or am I suppose to do something else? My phone is not rooted and I dont intend for it to be just yet and I'm also wondering if I use HK's firmware, will it affect my network coverage? Because being in a different country and having a different assigned network and all might cause a few problems with its radio or something?
Please advice thanks
Hi yes that's how I upgraded my firmware that method will work. Be sure to factory reset first though. As for your carrier concerns I can't answer sorry. The beauty with this though is that you can re-flash a different firmware if it doesn't work. All the best

1. Your method is correct. You shouldn't have signal issues.
Before flashing you must go through the flashing guides.
2. If you are living in another country and don't have plans of going to Hong Kong or your phone is out of warranty (this doesn't matter), you can flash any firmware for your present location. It will work very fine.

[Q] Changing device from i9100BVLPJ to i9100NELS1

Hi all,
I have two Galaxy S2 devices. One which is on tmobile UK that has a baseband i9100BVLPJ and one which is on 3 UK that has a baseband of i9100NELS1.
The tmobile device is on ICS with no official jellybean out yet where as the 3 UK device has jellybean that came out quite a while ago.
Is there anyway of changing the baseband versions so that the tmobile device will be seen as a 3 device and therefore be able to receive official jellybean?
I would rather try and stick to the offical ROM then go down the custom ROM route. If it is possible to change the devices identity over would that mean it would get a new sim lock? Also would the device then receive future 3 UK updates (assuming there Re any in the future).
Many thanks

So I can flash and both devices will be identical? Do I need to Root the device or simply flash over? Will there be any problems with simlock?
Flash unbranded firmware mate or galaxy Sim unlock from play store before you do. Test dif Sim if you flash unbranded it wont have lock
Root not needed for unbranded

Using ROM from another provider ?

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question but can I use the ROM from different provider in my tablet ?
I have a P7500 with canadian provider videotron who will not upgrade to ICS or JB. I've been trying without success to use CM 10.1 but I'm wondering if I could flash with an official rom from another canadian provider and upgrade via kies or ota.
I'm assuming everything should be compatible since videotron and rogers both use hspa+ network but are the roms from sammobile unlocked ? Would their Rogers rom work with my Videotron sim card ?
well im using a custom rom with rogers provider
custom roms are not provider dependant.
even using the voice call modem (baseband) and it works great.
i dont see why not..but recovery from odin should not be a problem
in other words difference between rogers p7500 and videotron p7500 is it's bloatware that is not in custom roms
My question is not about custom roms, it's about the official roms available at SamMobile. Are they locked to their providers ?

Question A02s Flashing question

I have an A025U from Metro, unlocked. Due to AT&T's new regs, they only accept the A025U1.
Is is possible to flash the U to U1 on this model ? I have tried two different (new) firmwares that both
fail the PIT.
Is there a generic firmware out there that would work for this model ?
