[REF] Galaxy S3 Modem / Radio Collection (I9300 & I9300T ONLY) CWM & Odin Flashable

Warning: All modems (radio / baseband) are for the International I9300 & I9300T variant only!!

Sick and tired of searching for that elusive modem ? Search post #2 for I9300 modems & post #3 for the I9300T variant.

All modems are interchangeable between both these models. The I9300T modem is optimised for the 850 MHz band, but it may not be the best for you. Try, test and find out :)

I do encourage members to post their recommended modems for their various region / location / carrier / device model and testing results (signal strength & stability, speed, call quality, battery life etc).

However, please do not turn this into “which is the best modem for.........” thread. In most cases it is subjective. Your carrier, topography, location, time of day / night, network congestion, and distance from cell tower etc all make huge difference. Try, test them for yourself, and then post ;)

If you have a modem or request for a missing I9300 or I9300T, please feel free to post here and I’ll add it to OP (credit given) or endeavour to source and package it for you as soon as I’m able.

[Galaxy S III General] =Oberon=:
Hey man..friggin awesome having them all here.

Fantastic post.

Well,Im on Optus and have got XXLE8 but a lot of people are saying to try LF5 so Ill defo have to try that one.

You have XXLE8 posted too so Ill grab that as back up.

Cheers mate,very much appreciated.

btw: Which one are you using on yours at the mo and how do you find it ?
[Galaxy S III General] UpInTheAir:
No problem mate. :)

Using the TDULF2 modem right now. Seems nearly same as the previous TDULE6, too early too tell but signal strength, DL/UL speeds, and stabilty are on par. Really need to give it a couple of days yet............
[Galaxy S III General] alphaod:
I'm wondering which one would work well here in the US since it's technically none of the international GS3s are for the US.
[Galaxy S III General] UpInTheAir:

[Galaxy S III General] eXecuter.bin:
He's just asking for others users experiances to narrow down his selections, no need to be so negative about it
[Galaxy S III General] UpInTheAir:
Not negative at all mate. ;)

Trying to keep the thread clean and ON TOPIC.....

This is not a "which is the best modem thread". :rolleyes:

I even explicitly asked not to, so seems a little bit of trolling too me.

Open one up in Q&A and if the mods see it, will most likely have it locked down.
[Galaxy S III General] ahjonnies215:
Using XXLE8 in the US with AT&T and it is working great! I tried XLF5 and was not good for me!
[Galaxy S III General] lude219:
You are a gentleman and a scholar!

For those in socal and on at&t, the best one I've used so far is DXLEA...but that only gets me 1.5-3.2mbps :(

Anyone in socal netting 4-5mbps on a consistent basis?
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:

This will help out so many people, especially those who want the T modems. They are always harder to find.
[Galaxy S III General] roslan_nazri:
which one of this modem are the best.. where to refer? any forumer discuss on their experience using variant modem?
[Galaxy S III General] UpInTheAir:
If you wish, you may post the results of your modem testing here so others from your region may have a starting point.

Due to many variables, there is no really "best" modem (same goes for ROMs), but your results may help someone else.

Don't forget to include at least: location, device model, carrier, firmware and modem version. Maybe info based on download/upload speed, stability, call quality and connection, signal strength, battery life,...... This would be useful.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
If you are in Southern California, the best modem is DXLEA.

[Galaxy S III General] giajp:
thank u very much for your great work.

would be useful if u add, near the modem, the carrier for which arises (if it is)
[Galaxy S III General] UpInTheAir:
Yeah, could do that, and may do in the future, I'd have to go back to sources and check every modem against every firmware release, as most are found for multiple generic and carrier specific firmware.

Just won't have the time during July to do that (away working), but not a big deal to add a modem here and there to keep the thread up to date :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drew_grant:
So after seeing a Jelly Bean rom on here, I decided to download it and flash it. I did a nandroid backup first and then flashed the rom. Wouldn't boot. Basically it would vibrate with the Google screen then reboot over and over again. Tried to do a nandroid RESTORE and it gave me an error about restoring /data. Tried other backups and they gave me the same error. Tried to flash a completely different ROM and bootlooped on the Google screen. I saw that people were having errors with the TOUCH CWM so I reflashed the nontouch Recovery Image and I am getting the same results. I think I ****ed my phone. I have no other ideas so I am turning to the communty for help with this. I'm out of ideas. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikef3j:
Might be a stupid question but did you do the wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik prior to the flash? Just asking...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xIC-MACIx:
I'm guessing you flashed the Vicious Version? Same thing happened to me today except it booted for like an hour then shut itself down and never booted all the back up. I had to flash a factory image through GNex Toolkit. I tried all kinds of things; restore a nandroid of cm9, Aokp, Stock, reflashing, nothing. So I hate to say it but looks like your going to be spending some time with fastboot tonight...

I really hope someone can prove me wrong though, cuz factory img wipes everything including SD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drew_grant:
First thing I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drew_grant:
I'm all out of ideas. I've been spending 2 hours on this. This looks like my only option. Even worse for me, I can't access the GNEX Toolkit because I have a Mac. Do you have the file or the link to the file you flashed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Use fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scubasteve101:
Has anyone determined why this is happening with the new JB roms? I got stuck in this situation last night and would love to try again if I could just figure out where I went wrong the first go around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
This is srsly the last time I'm posting this.

adb pull /data/media/ /SDBACKUP/

To get your SD contents back.

Then fastboot flash back to stock.

JB changes the directory that your data resides in...which seems to be why many are having problems.

I, however, have swapped back to an AOKP nandroid just fine.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaltimoreBull:
Ok so I had a international galaxy note that was a little beat up and I wanted a new evo lte. So I posted a ad on Craig's list to sell the note or trade for a new evo. A guy hit me up to trade today and we met and did a trade. Well the evo seemed to be working fine at first. But now it keeps freezing and rebooting. I did a factory reset to see if that solved the problem, and when the phone rebooted I saw a splash screen that said team winning. So I think the guy tried to root and messed something up. Is there a quick and easy way to flash or back to normal without bricking it ? or should I just claim it gets stolen,pay the deductible and get a new one? Any help on getting this back to stock would be great. It's in great condition but literally freezes and reboots every few mins.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Look in the dev section for the ruu.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Well what you are saying is insurance fraud and don't think you can talk about that here.

I would flash a stock ruu if I were you and test your luck. At the end of the day you bought/traded from a 3rd party that was not retail and have to deal with your own decisions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
See if.u have a recovery installed by turning the phone off and loading into the bootloader by pressing and holding power + volume down at the same time..if so I guess u could attempt to unroot with a stock ruu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaltimoreBull:
Didn't mean to mention the insurance thing if talking about that is against the rules. My apologies. When I enter recovery the teamwin recovery screen comes up. Also at the top of the phone it says unlocked and tampered or something like that. So should I just try to flash the stock rui? And are the instructions in the dev section? Thanks for all the help guys. I have flashed stock roms on my og evo and my evo 3d but never a custom Rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
You can't flash an RUU. Just flash a regular ROM and see how your phone works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaltimoreBull:
Ok. How would I be able to tell if the phone is rooted? Like I said when I go into recovery it says tampered and then unlocked. Does that mean it's rooted? And if so can I just load a stock rom on it ? or should I watch the how to uproot video and run the rui? Thanks in advance for the help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Edit. I need to edit cause im not going to help you commit insurance fraud
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
People like you is why TEP went up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Docarut:
Tampered means rooted, Unlocked means bootloader is unlocked. Just load another ROM zip on SD card and flash it in recovery after doing factory reset, cache wipe and davlik wipe. Might be OK after that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaltimoreBull:
Thanks for all of your help. I will try to run the ruu or flash another rom after work today. I really like the phone and hope that that fixes the problem. Thanks again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Use TEP on that. I have done that with my past ebay/craigslist phones with no problem. I bought them and then they ended up having hardware issues a few weeks or months after I bought them. When Sprints' techs ask me where I got the phone, I tell them Craigslist or eBay. One of them told me "That's pretty smart" when I explained how I bought a used phone and put TEP on it.

One of the reasons I love TEP is they don't care where the phone comes from! :good: :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kurtiskobain:
If you can verify the power cycling while a service tech is present you shouldn't even need to pay a deductible
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bbo_:
I would flash the Superwipe than any ROM of your choice. I like Stock with Goodies.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] {ParanoiA}:
Just get a ruu and run it from your pc. That will get you back to complete stock. Use it stock and see if any issues come back up. If they still do then worry about fixing it. But I think you should be good after ruu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaltimoreBull:
Thanks everyone for the help

I installed and flashed mean Rom and that seems to have cleared up the problem. Thank you to everyone who helped. I think I'll run this rom and see how I like it. if I have any problems with it I'll just go get the ruu and run it. I read in the forums that I have to relock the bootloader before I can run the ruu. How do I relock it? Thanks again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] doitda:
I believe it's from adb:

Fastboot oem lock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Stop me if im wrong, but from what I read you could only add TEP within 30 days of a newly upgraded line. So im not quite sure how you ended up adding TEP on a use phone without a line upgrade.

http://protection.sprint.com/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaltimoreBull:
Whenever I have bought phones outright or from off the net they have always just transfered my insurance from the line that I activate the phone on. I had a Palm Pre and bought the og evo from Sprint for full price. They simply transferred the insurance. As soon as I activatedthis Lte evo I got a message saying my tep went up from 8 to 11 dollars. And when I talked to the rep she said that the insurance transfered over.

Unfortunately I have to take this phone to the repai center tomorrow. I loaded mean rom on it and it worked great for 20 mins. Then it got stuck on Chrome and the screen wouldn't turn off. I came home relocked the phone, ran the ruu, and unrooted the phone. Still randomly reboots and resets itself. The guy at the sprint store said if they can't repair it and there is no sign of physical damage or water damage they will just give me a new one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Yeah insurance transfers to a new device even if it's not "new"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rfs830:
ok i know people have said this over and over but why not just reload back to stock? that way you will have a fully stock phone. If something is wrong after that then get it looked at.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaos420:
He already did he clearly said so 2 post ago lol

Sent from my ice cream powered Evo Lte!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
To clarify to those in this thread that wanted to know about my TEP:

I have always paid for TEP since I bought my first Sprint Palm Centro under contract, so whenever I get a used phone, I am already able to transfer it to that.

I didn't realize about the 30 day stipulations for new users that may opt out of TEP originally, thus not allowing them to tag TEP onto a used phone.

I just assumed it was the same for everyone because I live in blissful TEP-land where the roses are made chocolate and the brook pebbles are replacement smart phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
So you would pay for TEP on a phone that's worth $100 to replace?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
You guys kill me saying stuff like "thats the reason TEP prices went up". Most people who have TEP rarely file a claim. Do you honestly think the company would lower their rates if the number of claims went down? NO! It was just a money grab. They made that pretty obvious when they stated the increase was only for LTE devices. Why would it cost more to cover a LTE phone?? Hell the way I see it your paying for insurance so by all means use it...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
I was wondering if you guys, especially the ones who have tablets already, know if the Netflix app will play shows with great quality an proper resolution for the Nexus 7 or will it look pixelated and like trash?

I had a Galaxy Nexus awhile back and it looked pixelated and not set up for the phones HD resolution :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterColdSoul:
In my experience the Netflix app quality depends a lot on the bandwidth you have. On good quality WIFI I have seen shows looking good on my phone, and my lesser quality tablet. I will expect with the same bandwidth they would look great on the N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svetius:
I tested Netflix. Quality as the same as it is on any Android tablet....after buffering for a minute, it is quite clear. Probably HD resolution but with some compression.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfeuln:
I would really appreciate it if someone with a Nook Tablet could compare the video quality. A number of reviews last fall noted the Kindle Fire being noticeably poorer (since it doesn't receive the same HD streams) and I'd like to know if the Nexus fares any better. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Quick question. There have been times where I've read that it's not good to restore stuff from Titanium Backup when flashing a new rom but is it on to just restore the apps without data? I think that's essentially the same as just downloading then from the market right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
At the batch menu you can restore missing apps with data. You just don't want to restore any system data.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Ok thanks. I thought the app data as a problem also.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
I always restored my missing apps without data in the past (didn't restore any system) just to be on the safe side, but that's good to know that restoring data works fine for user apps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sad6549775:
Wanted to know what you did is it applicable if you are upgrading your rom from gingerbread to ics?

And i also did that but was always on gingerbread
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enviii:
I used titanium backup when for the first time to backup all my apps + app data and restore it after installing a new rom. It didn't work. It took forever to install the apps because I didn't pay for the premium version, and after it did install it didn't actually transfer the app data properly for most of my apps. My save games were lost and most apps didn't log me in from the save data.

So i downloaded Go Backup, which is much simpler to use and always works. Backsup all apps you want, and restores them in the same way titanium pro does, all at once without you having to accept each app. And the difference is my game saves and app accounts were auto logged in the first time I opened them. I would say Go Backup is a much better solution if all you need to do is backup apps + app data. Don't waste your time with titanium (and it's crappy UI).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
Not entirely sure about that. I'd imagine so, but haven't had personal experience with such.
[HTC One S] Robertcrow:
Thinking about buying these Any opinions or personal experience with these not the HD version
