The kh2 is a .tar.tar file? do i just change the end to .md5or do i flash it just the way it is?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
sourceforge fudged something up, the file will work as long as it ends on either .md5 or .tar, Odin will recognize what kind of file it is, if it says something like checksum failed get back to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Lmfao just flashed it. I dont get why i always need to put in a pit when flashing just the modem. Or else it bricks. Anyways. Running kh2 modem right now. Wifi sig isntthat great.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Give this a test.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer

If your signal is above -60 dBm then you have a strong connection. I think that the gingerbread wifi icon might be lying to you... But hey, test away.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Kh2 seems to work great.I'm on frost and I get full wifi from very far away

Can I request KG3 CWM modem please...? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
There's been no KG3 leak for the SGH-T959V.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
I Odin'd the KH2 modem file and was wondering whether there's really any improvement over the KG6 modem. Here's my build set:

Baseband: KG6

Kernel: KG4

Build No.: ICBINB 2.3.4

I ran WiFi Analyzer and both are showing a signal strength of around -85db (the modem's on the 2nd floor of the house and approximately 20 feet away from my downstairs position). Both the KG6 and KH2 are reading about the same (which isn't all that great and causing problems with trying to call people using WiFi).

Do I need to update the Kernel to KG6 for that to make any difference in improvement? I'm somewhat resigned to wait for cm7 as it seems like every modem install I've tried has made little difference in improving WiFi connectivity but wanted to see if any one else had success. Thanks!

Kurly
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It looks like it's gingerbread that causes lower wifi signal. If you tried the same modems on Froyo you'd get better signal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Dang, I was afraid that was going to be the case. Looks like I'll wait until cm7 is released.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
CM7 is based on gingerbread. :D Just so you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ebock:
Bluetooth Signal Strength

Do any of these have stronger Bluetooth signal? I am on KH2 and my headphones keep disconnecting. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
just a quick thanks to the OP for putting all of these here. I moved into my gf's condo this weekend, and it's really hard to get a signal inside her place. Unless you are right next to a window, there is no signal, and even then, it's spotty.

tested a bunch modems this weekend and settled on KD1. I can get 2 bars inside the condo now with the phone sitting on my desk. other modems I tested would fluctuate from 0-2 bars, and couldn't hold a steady connection.

So I am a happy camper!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] postulio:
I am using KH2 ROM, but anytime i overuse my hspa+ connection, the phone gets really hot and battery takes a nose dive (20-40% down in about an hour!). Anyone have any experience with battery life/speed with these modems?

Which ones are froyo?

Lots of people posting they will try it but no one reports back. Cmon, whos done some testing (post what ROM you are on too)

Are you on a GB rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
The modems that came on Froyo are KB, KC, KD. Gingerbread modems are KG, KF, and KH

But you can use any of these modems with any SGS4G ROMS, it doesn't matter if you are on Froyo or Gingerbread. I was using KH1 and KH2 with froyo for weeks just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] postulio:
I know I'm trying to use a froyo modem and see if it stops my phone from catching fire when I use data a lot (any online game make my phone super hot and drains battery in 2hrs)

Thanks for info, will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Really doubt it's the data transfer that's making your phone hot. To test this, try downloading a file that's several gigabytes and see if your phone heats up. I doubt it will.

The online games take a lot of cpu power to run/render correctly, especially if you're running them from a browser, the games are the ones making your phone hot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] postulio:
It was a very very basic card game. also i was playing Pocket Kingdoms, which is played on top of google maps, anything with a persistent data transfer does it. (playing AirAttack HD for 30 minutes barely used up 5%)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Hmm, that's interesting. Find a really large file, like ubuntu for example.

http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso

Let it start downloading for a few minutes and see if your phone gets hot, don't do anything else while the phone downloads that. Also, I recommend you do this with Wifi if you don't wanna eat up your data, since the file is 600 megs.

Delete the file once you're done.

I'd like to know if your phone did heat up from the download alone. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] postulio:
Wasnt able to download ubuntu files for whatever reason so instead i downloaded a rom off these forums ~240mb. I kept the phone on at 1% brightness and did nothing else. the battery dropped 6% in 16 minutes, which i think is pretty high. It was downloading at full bars using Tmobile 4G network in NYC.

The top 30% of the phone got very noticeably warm, you can definitely feel difference between the cool bottom part of it.

that calculates to about 20% battery drop per hour, doing nothing but downloading at 1% brightness - seems high to me. I usually use the phone at 20-30% brightness, and even when playing the most basic card or map game there is SOME cpu usage - so i guess thats where the drain go up to 30%+ per hour. When i played Parallel Kingdoms (map game) earlier today for about 20-30 minutes the top 30% of the phone got really hot .

I tested this with the KH2 modem. will test with KD1 later and will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Well TMO has the phone rated at 6.5 hours talk time on 3/4G

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-4G_id5138

30% per hour seems a little higher than normal even though you have the screen on and are using up some cpu/gpu power for the game's graphics etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
OP updated with KI1 CWM modem. Rest of the files will be updated tonight or at latest tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
anyone see any improvement on ki1 modem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Alright, I added the KI1 modem for cwm and odin. Also updated the all_modems files.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
I did... Was using kf1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] David1239:
What kind of improvement?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DangerousDave:
I really hate to ask this but can these be flashed to the stock Samsung rom? The phone is rooted but still stock. Happy with the stock rom but the signal is terrible at my home and I would like to test different modems. I see one post that seems to indicate you must be on a custom rom to flash these?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Yes, you can flash any sgs4g modem on any sgs4g ROM here
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Wooooo! About 10mbps amd 2mbps upload with ki1 modems, upload the new ki3 when you can fb! I wanna see what that brings.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I apologize for the delay. I've been very busy this week, haven't been home much. I added the KI3 modem now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi,

Is KJ1 newer and better modem than KI3 ?

It is already here in the forums.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
KJ1 is newer. I have not a chance to do an in depth comparison of the modem itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'll try to add the new version tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
Always welcome to use the ones I made: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1293218

Always nice to have them all in a central place!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Crackpot, excuse me for not giving you the credit, i use your modem source.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
No worries, but you use it where? And the source is not mine, I just made the modem.bin into a CWM and Odin flashable package.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'm gonna write a script on sourceforge that does it automagically for me. Just upload the new modem.bin and have it create both packages so that I don't have to spend 20 mins doing it manually. The hardest part about it is adding the new versions to the 7zip files since I had to get the command line version of 7zip on the sf server for it, but it's easier now. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Any way to make a custom modem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
We'd need the samsung sources, I don't think I've seen the modem source though. If not the only option is if you're willing to do a bunch of binary editing or can disassemble the modem itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I use it over Valhalla 1.1, working good (haven't measured differences).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
Was actually thinking of the doing the same thing in a Linux script.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
UPDATES

10/14/2011

Added KJ1, KJ2 and KJ3 modems

Added a script on sourceforge that will streamline my modem packaging time since it will all be automated after I upload a new modem file.

Linked directly to the sourceforge download page so you can pick your own modems. Latest modems will always be on the top of the list.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
Am on Infused 2.2.x ROM, on KJ1.

Got the 4 hour clock moving ahead issue on KJ2, and KJ3 too :(

Only modems that didn't cause this issue so far are the KI ones, and KJ1.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Remember that these are for the SGH-T959V, not for your infuse. If you're flashing software that isn't meant for your phone you're playing with fire. I recommend you find some modem/radio files that are meant for your infuse, not for the vibrant 4g
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
Yup! Mine is a Canada rogers based ROM. Flashed these and updated my results cos I am sure there will be plenty of Infused users trying these out and reporting on one thread or the other :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'm just concerned since I've seen more than a few threads about people who bricked their phones flashing software that wasn't for their phone model. It's never fun having a hard brick.

As long as your phone is the model sgh-t959v you should be fine with these. Can't give any guarantees for any other models.

I'll have more time Mid-December to February if you wanna pick my brain. I managed to upload the new modem file 10 minutes after I got the whole leaked ROM this time. Good ol' Linux. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I pick your Brain all the time lol.. I've been here before we had CWM and ROMS.

Thank God because there was nothing else to do for Advanced Members but Help us New People. And I received MUCH Help :D..

I had no laptop at that time and only had the xda mobile app (free!) And I didn't really know how to search :(...

If you use the xda mobile app to search you get nothing even close to what you are looking for. For real... Type in raverx3x KC1 right now and see what you get!.. I wish people would be easier on new Members to our Forum.. They may be working with NOTHING. Maybe even be on a public library computer that only gives you an hour to use..

I'm off topic.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
@Jerry. Yeah I've been there too. I lurked for a good while before I started posting. Didn't really need to post to ask questions since most of the stuff I needed had already been answered. Good thing we have resources like the bible, etc now. Someone who really wants to get info from the forums will probably find it without having to post. Don't worry about getting off topic, there's really nothing you can say about the modems other than IT BRICKED MY PHONE! RAWR. Hahaha.

Added KJ6 modem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
Is anyone getting clock moving 4 hours issue on this? I got it on kj5 too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Have you tried checking your time zone settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
Yes. I did. Strangely I am not facing this issue on KIx and KJ1 modems. All the other versions of KJ and all of KH are giving me this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You could always set the time manually for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
Flashed KK1 modem. After a real long time (after KJ1), this is the only modem that took date and time properly via network. I always had 4 hour jump with modems KJ2 through KHx.

For those who want to try it out, here's the link to the post with CWM flashable zip: Link to CWM Flashable UCKK1 zip post

Edit:

Speed tests: Yielded better speeds compared to I3 and I4 modems. Connected to a busy tower, and normally used to average 2-3 Mbps download speeds. With KK1, it increased to 4+ on average.

Connectivity: More or less on similar lines of I4. Have 4 out of 5 bars most of the time.

Battery: --- under scrutiny ---
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
This isn't the Infuse forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
Dang! A big oops. Sorry. Followed the link. Didn't notice I was in the wrong forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jwl12345:
Its alright. Your (T959V) modems tend to work fine on our (i997) Infuses. Also, generally the people who don't know enough about this kind of stuff will stay in the Infuse forum.

Flashing bad ROMs on the other hand...would probably require an unbrick through Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
I'm just curious as to which modem people are having the best connectivity with all around. The KJ6 modem was constantly giving me the "failed sms error". I installed KJ1 and I'm gonna test that for a while to see how it will work. Thanks in advance for you input. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
KI3, KK2 in all aspects. KK1 was good, but had severe battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
KI3 didn't have the long SMS problem, and as far as wifi and overall signal goes, it doesn't matter what modem I've used using the official KJ6 rom, they've all had good signal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
So which would you rate as most reliable between ki3 and kj1? I've been running kj1 for about 2 days now and it's still a little early to have a definitive conclusion for me, but if you've used either one or both extensively, then you'll have more experience. Thx in advance foe your help and work in this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I've stuck to KI3 for a few days now and it's been working pretty well, no failed messages, connection is as good as I've noticed in my area. I think all the modems have good signal now that the Wifi was fixed with KJ6, even though the KJ6 modem has the long SMS problem. I'd say pick one that doesn't have trouble sending the long texts and you'll be set.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
Try KK3. Its on par with KI3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
What kk3 modem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
KK3 has been released. I am on infuse. I think you could try that modem too. The modems here worked on my phone. So the reverse too should hold good. And if it doesn't, you could always revert back. Just make sure you have a zip of your current modem on phone just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
Thanks for all your input gentlemen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Tested the infuse modem and it works on gs4g
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
How well does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Solid connection and pretty fast so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Try sending a long text to yourself? Something that would normally be split into 2+ messages. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
It works sent 2 page and 3 page text no problem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Awesome. I'm probably gonna look into it. :) Thanks for testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jwl12345:
GS4G modems have been known to work on the infuse too - as you can see from my sig I'm using a T959V modem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
I'm having some issues after I flashed from KK3 to KI3. The modem speed test wasn't that different, so I went back to KI3 and experienced clock off by 4 hours. I've tried multiple modems, to see if that would fix the issue- when diablo009 had the same issues posted in this forum and in the infuse. Heres the post of my issues http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362753 and infuse forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342978

* CWM-UCKK1

(Has better signal and speeds than KI3, at the cost of significantly higher battery drain.)

* CWM-UCKK2

* CWM-UCKK3

Will add more as they come in...

* 4 hour clock jump NOT present with date and time set to auto update from network as observed on my phone.

Currently have it sent to manual, just trying to get some thoughts on this issue. Factory reset, GB kg4, dr honks kernel then flashed to octane with same results.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Same here clock is off if set to auto after flashing kk3 modem then flashing simply simple 1.0 and when it booted up no 4g. I had to go.in recovery wipe cache and dalvik to.get 4g, but still my clock is messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Reviewers:
I'll be throwing this kernel in my ROM , thank's .
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
These are modem files, not kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
I think to avoid issues with other phones, some one needs to remove diablo`s post on using kk3 infuse modem for the galaxy s. I should of done more research and I jumped the gun using it. I've tried reset etc..still cannot fix issue, manually clock is to be set.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] diablo009:
My sincere apologies for any trouble caused by me on this issue.

But I think in the 3rd or 4th post after my first one, I apologized for posting in the wrong forum. I didn't realize I was on the wrong forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
How's peoples experience with the kj5 modem, particularly with the wifi in-call volume? I'm on the official stock kj6 ROM, but since it has issues not sending long sms/pics, I reverted to the kj1 modem instead of the kj6 modem. My issue with kj1 is the low in-call volume with calls placed over wifi. Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
Its ok diablo, it was the later post on trying kk3 and a confirmation that it worked. that's why I called my self the ginnie pig lol.. I would just remove the post, so no one else has the same issues is all. I tried flashing other modems and still jump 6 hours with the clock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shdw03:

K13 def works for Me thanks fb.. After a few days with this i see why people like it..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
I was informed by a thread about long SMS texts failing that wifi strength is related to the kernel, not the modem, in which case you are all wasting your time. I too noticed a decline from froyo to gb in wifi strength. I plan to flash the kd1 modem to hopefully fix the failed text problem, I'll report back with any wifi improvements.

I'm not saying it's accurate, but that's where I got it from, not the android fairy, haha

Question: If I have KJ6 Rom with KJ1 Kernel, Voodoo Lag fix / cwm / debloated, and I flash the KD1 modem (stock on my device worked awesome) will that be compatible, or do I need to stick with 2.3 modems to worK?? I don't want to mess up my phone just because I can't send long texts...

Also, I'm going to try to play with the CDMA/GSM settings and see if that fixes the problem...

**EDIT**: Ok I changed the network mode to GSM only, now long texts work fine... i have tmobile service which I believe only operates on GSM anyways, also my bars went up from 1 to full when I did that... another note, changing the "detection mode" from auto to manual did nothing, and it reverts back immediately

**EDIT 2**: 4g no longer works only edge... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
