[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Hey FB, is that the KB5 modem running on AOKP..? Wait, is it actually giving you signal + data??? How is that possible?

It's possible because we never tested flashing modems that were bigger than the padded modem size, that's how!

Anyway expect an update soon. You'll have many more modems to choose from on MTD roms ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Alright, finally got around to padding the rest of the modems that we had available for GB. I flash tested all of them in a low signal area and these are the two of this group that gave me the best signal:

KC1

KI1

Go ahead and test them yourself if you're in an area that you normally get no signal in.

Enjoy! They're all posted in the same location as the other padded modems.

MTD padded modems on SourceForge
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JaimeZX:
Running KI3 right now because it's given me the least TX errors. (Same for my wife.)

Obviously started with KJ6 and tried a bunch before settling on KI3.

Is there anything newer than KJ6 that might be worth trying, and if so, why?

Also - we're looking at buying some property that is right on the edge of coverage. The STREET has one bar, but go back into the woods just a few hundred yards and nothing.... (Even shows that on T-Mobile's coverage map. I put a star where we're thinking of putting the house.)

LB6 Modem Gingerbread BML

I had the lb6flash.zip and tried the cm7/cm9 and padded modem for lb6 in GB but they dont work. It kinda didn't make sense to me that "cm7/mtd/GB" would work anyway since gb isnt mtd (besides cm7/some other roms). And they didn't work, neither do any lb6 modems on sourceforge (i dont think its on sf). So I just followed FB's simple steps and made a working lb6 flashable modem for gingerbread-bml. If it was already posted I didn't see it, the ones on this forum are all for mtd that i tried. So I hope i attached this right, this lb6 modem is for gingerbread BML. Thank FB lumin and getochkn.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Nobody else has reported force closes from flashing modem files, so first I would try to wipe cache and dalvik cache. if that doesn't do it you might need to reinstall the rom and kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Subrad5446@aol.com:
@fb That's what I was thinking.....so wipe everything(I like to use your thread on this), flash rom, flash kernel, flash modem, in that order?

Edit: Didn't have to. Wiped cache and dalvik three times, flashed modem three times, wiped cache and dalvik three times, success.

But for future reference, I know what i did was overkill. I'm in the habit of wiping cache and dalvik, plus fixing permission, on any flash.

Should I be doing this before or after the flash?

Install rom

Install modem

Does aroma installer work with the latest kernels? Was thinking of making a Aroma package with all the modem so you can flash each one and test from there and know what one works best for you, or be able to flash different modems for different things. IE, for me, LB6 gives me best battery life and wifi, but it wouldn't work when I was out of the Wind Network Zone and I needed my phone to work and instead of going into roaming, I got no signal. Luckily I had a KJ6 modem on my card so I flashed that and got into roaming.

does -97 dBm below means high signal?

the (-) sign and some researches makes me thinks twice?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
For what? Wifi or Cell? Those will both always be negative but the lower the negative the better.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It's always the higher the better meaning closer to zero.

Example: -10dbm is better than -20dbm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Isn't the lower negatiive closer to zero? I'm confused. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
If you mean lower to mean closer to zero then yes.

Here's how I define negatives:

More negative means further away from zero.

Less negative is closer to zero.

Higher negative numbers are closer to zero.

Lower negative numbers are further from zero.

Hahaha. It's all semantics. I figure it's better to have a good consistent explanation to avoid confusion.

But yes, if PuNeTZzZ comes back, -97dbm seems to be about normal, if you get something higher (-80dbm, -70dbm) it would indicate you have a strong signal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Yeah. I think the closer to zero idea is the easiest one to understand. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] PuNeTZzZ:
ohh thanks! ohh its SIGNAL i forgot :D

As people have said over and over again, there is no 'best' modem for everyone. Flash one. If it works better, great. If she doesn't like it... try another. And another. And another. At some point, she'll find one she likes and you can stop.

Each individual phone has different ways that it reacts. My wife's phone, in exactly the same place as mine, with exactly the same modem, with exactly the same ROM, kernel, governor, and scheduler settings, has different signal strength for both Wifi and Cell towers.

Enjoy it. It's fun. -_- You'll stop flashing new modems eventually. But when she decides she likes it. Not when someone with a physically different phone tells you that you've got the best modem ever because it worked for them.

Now you guys are arguing on my thread and gave the guy wrong advice after I had told him not to flash modems from this thread to his phone (which is NOT the sgs4g if you had bothered reading his full post before replying).

The information on my threads tends to be accurate, so let's keep it that way guys.

EDIT

For the sake of accuracy, if someone can flash a modem that works with 4G (like KJ6) and LB6 and do some speed tests that'd be awesome.

Download speedtest app

Test the speed with KJ6 at least 3 times from 3 different locations with 4G coverage.

Test the speed with KJ6 at least 3 times from the exact same 3 locations

Report your findings

Profit?

For bonus points you can reply with what the phone displayed as the network icon (3G/4G) when the tests were running and what the real speeds were.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tazmaniondvl:

Modem for rogers on GB

Okay so I'm getting ready to move on with this phone as its unlocked. It's a wind model but I'm using it on a rogers network. According to rogers store at&tt works off a similar network of rogers. If someone can suggest to me a good modem. out of these http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/fb/modems/odin/ that works with 4g and has good wifi, . I'm located in Canada, Ontario I'm restoring it as close as I can to stock, I have the option of using the window modem, but I have to get it right this time as I am giving my phone to someone who needs it more since I upgraded :). This may be my last couple of posts on the sgh-959v/w board, and I'm going to miss this community so much :)!. It's a sad day to leave this community since I've learned everything I know about android from lurking this board.

Basicly what I'm asking out of those modems what would work best in Canada, seeing as how at&t and rogers use similar stuff

Please quote me if you have a reply so I get the message on my new phone :)

Also to team acid I don't have much on my paypal barely over a dollar but I'd like to donate it, its not much but I love you guys :), I would know nothing with you, and thanks to this board I've pretty much landed a job at a rogers store!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Hard to say what the "best" modem is, but if you're restoring to stock then there might be a tiny edge for the original modem. I've personally found the KG4 modem "feels" a little more stable with the kernels I've been using, but that is really nothing more than a feeling -- nothing measurable.

When you say "stock" are you going back to factory GB firmware? Not to sidetrack, but I think there are some great GB ROMs out there that are significantly better in terms of being debloated (the phone is pretty crippled for app and data storage) and having good usability and battery life, without getting to the extremes of customization.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mezabaru:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thorne1209:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rebel_X:
They should be.. I am using the LB6. But I was unable to flash using the new TWRP recovery that comes with KK.

To flash modems, make sure you are using one of ICS roms like CM9, AOKP..etc, flash the modem, then KK.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thorne1209:
Awesome thanks! So I assume you have to heimdel from KK back to GB/bml to go back to cm9 or ICS correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rebel_X:
^ yep.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thorne1209:
Successfully returned to ICS on CM9. Tried flashing LB6 in CWM but still had no signal and unknown baseband version on reboot. Should try and flash this in ODIN? Have I missed something? Any help is greatly appreciated!:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Definitely not in ODIN! Modems on MTD ROMs are stored differently than in "stock" (BML) phones.

If it isn't flashing in a current ROM, it is likely the recovery installed by that ROM, not the modem ZIP package.

If you're comfortable with adb, you can unzip the archive, pull out modem.bin and write it to /radio/

Otherwise you'll need to backup your existing boot/recovery, flash a boot/recovery that is compatible with both the older updater-script, as well as the partitioning on the ROM you are using, flash the modem, then restore your boot/recovery. I haven't kept up with all of the current ROMs, but last I looked the location of the radio partition hadn't changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thorne1209:
Yeah I'm comfortable with ADB. But what recovery have you used? My constant signal drops on the new KK ROMs are making me wonder if its the modem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Any recovery that enables adb should work (as long at the MTD partition map is consistent with your ROM). TWRP and likely recent Clockwork Recovery should both work. Hopefully the on on the boot/recovery for the ROM you flashed will do it.

You can extract unzip and see what the scripts are doing. Basically, the modem is copied to /radio and permissions are set to 775 (though I'd probably set 755 myself).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] inimeg81:
I doubt its the modem but ki1 ki3 lb6 kd1 kb5 kc1 are my fav.

Adb root

Adb remount

Adb push modem.bin /radio

Adb shell chmod 755 /radio/modem.bin

Adb reboot

Btw beanstalks recovery is compiled correctly with the kernel. You can use the recovery from that and restore it to whatever rom doesnt have it working
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Well, I finally got around to repackaging the modem files using the new flash script that should work on any ROM that is CM7 and newer! I know I said I'd have this for you guys months ago, I apologize for the wait.

I have even included a 7zip archive that contains all the zip files so you don't have to download them individually if you want the whole collection. I only flash tested 3 of the modems so if you run into any problems make sure you reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It's FB by the way ;)

To be sure you can flash anything from these forums, go into Settings > About phone and check. It has to say exactly SGH-T959V. If it says anything else there's a really high chance you can brick your phone! None of these mods were made for the Vibrant.

Luckily, you can use any version modem with any version ROM, so you can mix and match until you find one that works for you, so yes, you can flash these as they are. I know you're not usually near a PC, so maybe you can try the CWM ones from chadster's thread? I know it doesn't have all of them, but I can try to make you a CWM flashable one for other versions not already there
