zip file DXLP7 modem request

Who among of you guys has a DXLP7 MODEM (.zip) flashable in CWM RECOVERY?

I search around but i just managed to find a .tar.mdp file only.

I just need it badly.

PLEASE HELP.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Here in cebu the only carrier who supports hspa+ is smart communications.. It sucks 45% of the time.. but when the connection is good it's very fast.. Not fast as in the US but good enough.. Globe and Sun doesn't currently have hspa+ here in cebu..
[Galaxy S II General] glynnpel:
Thanks ephraim033 , it's gonna take a long time for Mindanao to have a good HSPA+ connection .
[Galaxy S II General] saywhatt:
Booo.. Globe doesnt have it :/
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Np mate. I originally live in mindanao. Smart has no hspa+ connection in Agusan del

Norte either in butuan or nasipit :) i am a sun user but when i tried smart and discovered that it has hspa+ i never went back to sun ever again.

Yeah, but i think globe has an hspa+ connection in selected areas in manila.

No need to wipe data buddy. I usually clear cache and dalvik cache. But now i just flash siyah directly with no wipe as gokhan said it is not really required. But if you encounter any problems better wipe cache and dalvik cache and not data. I haven't encountered any problem yet since the time i didn't wipe :)

Latest Firmware Version

Hi,

what's the latest firmware for Philippines?

Is it DXLP7 or DXLP9?

I'm currently on DXLP7 and Kies recognizes this as the latest firmware.

However, on Intratech's page, DXLP9 contains GLB csc and DXLP9 is newer that DXLP7.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Our phone doesn't support LTE buddy :)
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I think dxlp9 is somewhere over the other asian country or whatever. You can try to flash dxlp9 without a problem buddy. I tried it for a week and got no problems with it.
[Galaxy S II General] saywhatt:
you're on globe, yeah? i read this article on yahoo that Globe Telecom's currently doing some major fixes in the network primarily on the signal and 3G connections cause there were lots of signal hacks and etc in Luzon. i have been experiencing these drawbacks for months too (despite that i'm from Cebu).. but as they say, they're fixing it at the moment :D

Anyone having the same problem or is better to use other ics from intratech? please advise. thanks!

So, did you guys flash a new firmware for your sgs2?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Is it just me or are the current zones for Smart's HSPA+ the size of postage stamps?

Was in central Ormoc, supposedly an HSPA+ site. HSPDA only.

Was in multiple areas in Manila where there was supposedly HSPA+ coverage (Heritage Hotel, Mall of Asia, etc.). HSPDA only.
[Galaxy S II General] andydotph:
Is your S2 still on stock? or on Cyanogenmod 7.1? AFAIK, the newer builds of cyanogen goes not show H+ even though you're running at those speeds..

Walang 4g ang phone natin.. ung h ay hsdpa at h+ is hspa which is faster.. ung US version ng sgs2 ng at&t lang ata ang may 4g.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Never mind, I am stupid - I was looking for HSPA+ on the S2 with the Smart sim in some areas where only Globe had HSPA+ coverage (though Mall of Asia should have had both). My globe sim was in the Ace which doesn't have HSPA+.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

H is HSPDA, a 3G technology. H+ is HSPA+ which the ITU now calls 4G but which is really just go-faster 3G. LTE like Smart has in Boracay is true 4G.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
From what I've read 4g is the name of H+ in the US. In asia and europe it's called H+ or HSUPA.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Hspa and hspa+ is somewhat similar but different.. check this link.

[Galaxy S II General] gtizon:
Hey pongster. What modem do you use for you hyperdroid sgs2 rom? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i know...but the LTE option here is not true LTE like those found in the states (marketing ploy)...its a tweaked 3.5g hspa connection that kicks at 12-15mbps...a friend from davao has tried it...ive tried the "LTE" here in manila before and i get around 10-12mbps when it was in test mode...true LTE based on my personal experience in sg,kl and bangkok runs at 25-35mbps...
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yes you can switch networks between smart and sun but you have to tick the roaming option as well...sun basically still runs on 2g network and smart is already on the 3.5g structure...
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
if you use kies as your primary update software then you will be at a fw that it recognizes as latest...lp9 is the latest so far, so your option is to flash it via pc odin
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Really? Wow, what's the sign buddy? And how can i do it :D
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Sorry, I was sooo engaged in the last few weeks that I completely forgot to reply. If you're referring to the Wi-Fi signal goes on and off on its own, it still happens but not as frequent as in DXLP9. Personally, I find this convenient in some sense, as it conserves my battery usage, even for just a bit. ;)

If you're referring to the Wi-Fi switch itself in Settings with either takes a long time to turn on or turns off by itself, I did not experience any problems at all.

Other than this, I'm pretty much enjoying the LP9 better than the LP7... and just to kid around with it, I installed TouchWizUX and the (fake) Dandelion LWP. The look is so iconic that people around get my phone mistaken for an S3. :D

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

LP9 is released for Singapore and Thailand. It also has a SingTel-specific variant, which I use currently. I just changed the CSC to GLB to conform with my current carrier. To my surprise, that m.globe app appeared soon after I changed CSCs, which I don't really use other than to check my unbilled charges. :p
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
same crap as the h+ sign which incidentally they are foretelling as "LTE"...a true lte signal on an lte phone will either give you a 4G sign or in some units (like my sister's sharp 4g android) an LTE sign...sucks that telcos here in our country take users here for fools...i had a heated debate once with a customer service rep on it...anyways the umbrella "LTE" test area in davao is still on(globe), a friend from boracay told me the LTE base of smart still works but you need a lte capable usb device or portable wifi...:p

Who among of you fellas are using WANAMLITE ROM?

DO YOU have a HSPA/3G coverage?

since i used this ROM i never had the chance to use the NETWORK DATA.

even i flashed our DXLP7 MODEM.

i remember when after FULL WIPE (using a stock fw), at initial setup there's an option to select the "GLOBE PREPAID" . . .

But WANAMLITE ROM, is missing that part.

anyone experiencing this?
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I used that rom(the stock one) and network data works fine. I'm using smart so maybe it's a globe problem.

Guys! I need help again :) I'm about to install cm9. Everything is clear to me as to how I would flash it, what confuses me however is that the instructions say that I should make sure that I am running ics bootloaders lower than lph. Is there any way to know what bootloader I am on? In baseband and build mine shows lp7. Is that it? Am I safe to flash cm9?
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Have you tried to flash stock ics with bootloaders? If not then you have a gb bootloader which is ok. If you flashed an ics bootloader, flash the one in the OP of cm9.
[Galaxy S II General] IgnisGrando:
Hey, I've been a long time cm9 user and its the best aosp experience you can get! :D but lp7 is not lower than lph since lph was early beta ics. the best way to flash cm9 with bootloaders lower than lph is to use the ODIN noob-proof method then upgrade from there :) i hoped it helped.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I've never flashed stock ics with bootloaders. The only thing I've flashed since upgrading to ICS from kies was the siyah kernel and now foxhound sniper wolf rom(23-05-12). This means I can upgrade safely to CM9 then? Since I never flashed a bootloader? :D

I dont do wipe, unless it was instructed by the developer.

[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
trust me it is sending but it really takes much time before you get them

the simplest way to get your apns are

text GO and send to 2951 (If you are on Globe)

and your settings shall be sent to you.

I am not sure about Smart but i know there is a same process
[Galaxy S II General] astrogambit78:
Yeah i'm on globe, i dunno dude, it never comes even GO to 2951 it replies txt but no attachments, i have to manually encode settings on that. but its resolved now, just wondering why i still have that issue for simtoolkit.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
have you tried checking your settings to allow push messaging from the network?

the settings shall be sent to you using push messaging and not the standard sms

[Galaxy S II General] glynnpel:
You might have to isolate the problem if you think it's your router at home. If you have a laptop try to connect to the router using ethernet cable and check if online , if not then connect the laptop directly to the modem and check if online if not then thats the time to call your ISP. If the laptop is online hardwired to the router then unplug the ethernet cable from the laptop then connect the laptop wirelessly to the router and check if online if not then you might have to reconfigure wireless settings on the router, if the laptop can go online wirelessly to the router then it's just phone and the router has issue , might have something to do with wireless channel or security of the router wireless config. I'm not sure if this help but hopefully it does.

P.S. If the laptop is hardwired to the router make sure the wireless adapter

on the laptop is disable.
