As far as I know as long as its a 1897 modem then you can use it in the I897 Cognition ROM. I'm running the Cog 5 v2 with the JL1 modem and it works the best for me in my area. I have awesome battery life and most of the time full bars and the download speeds isn't to bad. :D

I was on the site moving a few things. I tried to create a drop down menu for the modems but it seems the browser didn't like it so I changed it back. Try again it should work correctly now. I tried it on my XDA app and it worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Sweet. Great work, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:
Thanks for the great work! Any chance of having some type of dates assioated with the modems so there would be a way of knowing the newer from the older ones? :)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Any chance you might do the same thing for CM7/MIUI modems?
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Im not sure about the dates I looked at the modem with a hex editor and there is a few dates in there but its very tedious work.... As for the other modems I have never used CM7/MIUI so if you want to give me a list of modems you want to see I can find them and add them to the site. Thanks!

I have done a search and found quite a bit CM7/MIUI modems on siky_dude's thread and on Prototype159 ROM (Here and Here).... Hope this helps!

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Here is the official if you would call it link to CM7/miui type modems. I have also made many of the newer modems into CM7 compatible formats. I can link them in here from my dropbox too. So give me a few and I will put them in here also and others on CM7/miui can try them out.

ALSO you might just mention some easy instructions ANYONE with root explorer can do to MAKE any modem into a CM7/miui compatible modem.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Download ANY modem from your list to their phone

2. Download at least one CM7 compatible modem to their phone

3. Open root explorer and long press on the newer modem they want and choose EXTRACT ALL

4. Now long press the CM7 type modem and again choose EXTRACT ALL

5. Go to /sdcard/extracted

6. Open the newer modem package and long press on the modem.bin file and choose copy

7. Back out again to the CM7 modem package and open it.

8. Long press the modem.bin file and choose delete

9. Then press PASTE at the bottom of the screen.

10. Back out and go to the CM7 modem package and long press and RENAME it to the NEW modem name, (ie: radio-cm-7-GalaxyS-JK4-signed.zip or radio-cm-7-Captivate-JK4)

11. Now back out again and again long press and then choose ZIP THIS FOLDER

12. Go to /sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Zip

13. Long press on the NEW MODEM zip file and COPY

14. Back out until you at /sdcard and then paste

15. Reboot phone to Recovery Screen and choose install zip from sdcard, choose zip to install, pick the NEW MODEM file name you created and then install.

THIS CAN BE DONE FOR AS MANY MODEMS AS YOU WANT TO TRY/USE. I keep 4-5 different modems on the sdcard in case I have a bad reception in any certain areas I can flash a different modem until I find one that works well for the area I am in. It is a very easy flash and you do not necesalsarily need to wipe cache or dalvich cache to flash them (you can if you like, just I haven't found it necessary).

EDIT: Here are some that I have tested but they may not work for everyone. If they don't just follow the instructions I posted above to make them work on your device.

I'm running Cog 4.5.3 (kb1) and when at home, where I have poor signal strength, within a few hours my Cappy loses all signal until i reboot. I'd like to try a new modem to fix this - is KF1 compatible with 4.5.3, and if so can I just drop the modem.bin from the CWM3 file into a different CWM2 modem file in order to flash it?
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Im not sure Bill... i would say yes but up to you if u want to try....
[Captivate Android Development] BillShepp:
To answer my own question, KF1 appears to work fine on Cognition 4.5.3 (Froyo), and replacing modem.bin in a CWM2 package with modem.bin extracted from a CWM3 package also appears to work fine. I've attached a CWM2 package of UCKF1 for others who may want to follow this approach.

Hi All... Don't know if i'm the only one here with this weird problem, but whatever modem i flash, be it i897/i9000/cm7 ones, after flashing I don't get 2g, only 3g. If I force it to 2g i don't get any signal from my network, only from another network, thus "emergency calls only". Funny thing is, when i flash roms with modems, this doesnt happen. This happens only when i flash modems. 3g works fine though. Any ideas?

This happens throughout i897 roms, i9000 roms, cm7, ICS, miui..

Hey I need some help here. Im new to flashing modems so Im not sure how to troubleshoot them just yet. I just flashed the ICS I9000UGKG3 radio and I love it so far but im only getting edge internet speeds. How do I go about making sure my settings are all correct with this modem so I can get 3g and H speeds?
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
I do believe ICS ROMS has a setting somewhere. Also, i do believe you cant force modems to run 850 when running ICS ROMs you have to get a modem that its already standard like the one your running. Hope this helps i gota go to work :(

if you could odin to stock and re update to ics and let me know if that fixes it? id clean the radio partition but i have no idea what commands id have to put in the terminal. i think something got flashed in there that shouldnt have
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
I had that same problem with it staying on h but having crap speeds. That's why I started flashing modems and now it's just worse because I'm stuck on edge. What modem are you currently running? Maybe I can try that one.

Any idea how to find the appropriate modem for western europe? specifically, Portugal?

edit, I tried like 5 or 6 different modems and they all pretty much felt the same, any way to actually benchmark it so I can get tangible results?

I get pretty much the same signal strength, between 13 and 15 asu (UMTS:3). should I get one that actually finds HDSPA?

I Did get diferent results with wifi download and upload speeds. But that isn't such a big concern.

Any insight?
[Captivate Android Development] lancec50:
Noob question are the modems posted in the OP have to be flashed in CWM? I usually flash with Odin.

I am having a terrible time finding a decent modem for myself, if one even exists for my area. I'm in Winnipeg and have tested a few that have had good ratings in provinces/states around me. The speed has gone up slightly since stock, but the only real change was way better GPS reception. I'm paying $80 a month for this 1GB plan and i can hardly use it because it feels so slow.

None will flash

None of the modems I try will flash. I'm running talondev kernel on serendipity vii build 3 and currently ugkg3 modem, but I want to try another. Also, my phone will only charge up to 97% or 98% and it says charged, but it won't go past that. Any ideas on either of these?
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
Ah yes...Serendipity 7.1 build 3...I remember that rom! I used to use it last year Serendipity 6 then 7 then 7.1. I believe they needed i9000 modems and you needed to wipe the dalvik and the cache when changing modems. Good luck!

Or you can move on up to ICS for the Captivate! CM9 is ICS android 4.0.4 and it's nice! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592141

I'm having issues with my wifi

I'm having issues with several roms, and it is that my wifi signal is very weak... Is it possible that it has anything to do with the modem? how do i know the modem im using? in case the other i flash is even worse i can at least go back. and can i change modems freely flashing then through cwm? I need help and there is basically no activity in this thread :(
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
We have no idea what ROM your using so how can we help you. Yes you can flash as many as you want as long as you ROM will suport the correct modem and yes that is why your signal sucks you have to find the correct one for your area. Hope that helps...

how can I really know which modem will be better for me?, is there a way to know which one was mine by default? or someone to work better on 1900 gsm?
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Try looking at the modem map on my web site and try what others say works best for them in that area then go to my website and dl the and cwm the modem, its that easy. Oh and under your settings/ About phone tells you what modem you are using. Hope that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] rophiroth:

i've used the aokp milestone 5, aokp build 36, weUI 1.0 and nostalga 6... but the first 3 uses the same modem so i'm just going to start flashing all of them to see what happens. I guess a nandroid backup will keep me safe in case things get worse. I was kinda scared of flashing modems because i had an htc magic and the process of changing the radios couldn't be reversed flashing another rom or restoring a backup. But thanks a lot for the help... I'll post which modem worked for me in case someone is n the same stuation

Testing the recently posted UXKH2 modem, works but after a quick check it seems my upload speeds have been slashed. Testing more...

I'm in the unique position of searching for the absolute fastest radio for my i897 (Slim 4 rom + Devil kernel, AT&T Sacramento, CA) with no regard to sound quality because... I have no voice plan on my phone! Phone had KG3 originally, I will gladly sacrifice "sound quality" for a little speed boost.
[Captivate Android Development] likiud:
Im using KG3 modem, its suppose to default to 850, but it seems to default to 1900 instead. Everytime I check it, its at 1900. THe signal at 1900 is about -75 to -90. I change it to 850 manually and the signal is at -70 to -75. Then I change it back to auto and it stays at 850 for a min or so, then it switches back to 1900 and stays on it. Is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Generally "default to 850" means that it will use 850 natively instead of 900... Modems that "default" to 900 can be made to use 850 with the modem dance.

In your case I'd say it had to do with your carrier not your modem. If 1900 is the prevailing band in your area them it will switch to 1900 more readily. Try keeping it locked to 850 to see if you get the results you want. Of course the drawback would be when 850 is not available.

Hope that helps.
