Just curious.. has anyone else noticed their imei sv change after flashing this? It went from 02 to 03... I'm not having on issues , just wondering if its normal...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wildchld:
Flashing update will not over write

Flash counter may jump yes but triangle away will fix that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bskim23:
Just checked and mine did that as well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] capcanuck:
I had no idea the imei sv was the flash counter.. thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker0906:
Its not
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] effortless:
It's not.. it's the software version.

Maybe this fixes the issue with people losing their IMEI after flash?

I don't remember ever getting this prior to updating this radio but now when I plug my phone to my computer via USB I can see both my 32gb card and phone memory and can fully access both. Is this right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dls5375:
Just flashed successfully with latest cwm(not touch). Make sure to check md5 before flashing! First time I downloaded it was corrupt, second time it was correct. Speeds are all little better, seems to hold 4G signal better.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
check sending mms please.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nakolas69:
Mine is perfectly fine on aokp build 8/10
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
thanx, im clueless why i cant send mms on any rom/kernel or baseband.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Thanks for the reply. I guess it comes and goes then cause I copied over a rom earlier to my phone and only saw the phone and not my memory card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm glad to hear this seems to fix the MMS issues. (Had same problem on MyTouch 3G Slide when it first came out....if I remember correctly it was also fixed by a radio update)

Ill definately be flasing this one ASAP!

Thx for wrapping it up for us OP!!!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kooltrini1:
Since our IMEISV has changed, should we back it up again?.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bskim23:
I don't know as I'm not at all familiar with how those IMEI backups work. Don't think it'll hurt to make another one with the different IMEISV number, but I would assume the first one you made would be good enough. Again don't take my word for it... just an assumption o_O
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
if you have not done a full IMEI backup i highly advise you do so or one day you may be pissed you didnt.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
IF I'm not mistaken, your IMEI should remain the same. Your IMEISV should go from 02 to 03 I think.

SV = Software Version

I could be wrong so if anyone can verify my info that'd be great.

And a new backup can't hurt you.......
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
There are two links in the op. The second is to make a backup of our current radio? Flash that first?

second is to restore old modem.:cowboy:

Working great. I had previously not been able to use my Wi-Fi calling upstairs on 1 bar without lag in the call.

Maybe placebo effect. But called from usual place and worked great. Didn't fail till I walked out of range. Where previously I would have had obvious packet loss and lag.

Please help - Baseband listed as "unknown" / no signal

Flashed this firmware on Wind Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999V) .. and info states "unknown" baseband..

The following radio (~60 Mb) was extracted using backup procedure: http://d-h.st/D6J

Please help!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neoslink1:
Thats because this is a T-Mobile Radio. Not Wind Mobile. You're going to have to find the stock Wind Mobile radio somewhere and flash it to get your original baseband back. You're lucky you didn't hard brick it 0_o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anterus:
Thanks! Can you please clarify - why does the system care about which radio is this, back in the galaxy nexus days - it would take any radio from any region.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Monk4Life:
The GSM galaxy nexus is a true international phone were you can flash basebands according to the region you live. The GS3 does not function this same way. Maybe the true quad core international one might but not the carrier dependent ones like ours.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wildchld:
OP updated...

If you flashed the TMOGalaxyS3UVLG1Modem.zip twice and lost the original backup modem here it is...

Download and move to /data/media overwrite existing. The change permissions to rw-rw-rw

Now flash the TMOGalaxyS3RestoreModem.zip to return to the original modem.

modem.backup - 60.00 MB

:cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
Am back online. Flashed the backup and my imei and baseband are back. Moral of the story am never messing with the modem or radio.

me and my brothers t99 both came with these radios pre installed.. one blue one white.. oh well flashed them again anyway fuuuuu it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm trying to help out another member in the Q&A forum (can't post in development yet). He's got the T999V model on Mobilicity and attempted to flash this twice, overwriting his original backup.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the Wind radio would be compatible, since they are both T999V?

Or better yet does anyone have a copy of the Mobilicity modem.backup they can share?

Also, I was thinking that he could copy the Wind version and try to flash the restore, and if it turns out incompatible he will essentially be in the same spot as now. Can anyone think of any reason to not give that a shot if we can't find the Mobilicity version? Could it cause any other unforseen problems?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pernellparents:
Quick question, do you place this file on extsdcard or sdcard. I doesn't really get what wildchild said in the op about not having to put it on the root of the internal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
DO NOT reflash a second time unless you would loss the original wind modem.backup. Here is what you do, using the second zip in the op (restore radio) flash that with the modem.backup at the root of your internal sdcard - /sdcard. That would revive your phone. Good Luck. And Thanks Wildchild for your assistance.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

It's a suggestion to place the modem/radio file @ the root of the internal card to avoid any mishaps with CWM. But if you want to restore the modem.backup, that must be placed in the root of the internal card - /sdcard

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

H+ bars? Are you on a T-mobile SIII or one of the T999V variants from up north? Curious
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] prabjeetmaan:
help!!!!!!!!!!!

i flashed this radio on my galaxy s3 wind(T999v) version more than 2 time so i have lost my backup.now i cant connect to my carrier.can anybody share his modem backup of wind version.

plz help me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
It might not work because the radio files (baseband) are carrier specific but he could as well try since the wind Rom is so generic without any customization from wind.

If that fails, He needs to find someone with a Mobility variant and have them flash the first zip then extract the modem.backup file and using the second zip restore both phones.

Wildchild could you also add the Canadian variants of T999 as not been compatible with this radio in the OP? Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] prabjeetmaan:
hey i did the same thing to s3 wind version and cant able to connect to my carrier.can u share ur back file cuz link u share has rar file which cwm recover doesn't support.we need .zip file to flash.anyways if u find a way to fix this plz help me.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

yes both will be compatible.cuz both network works on aws frequency.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
I think you have to extract the modem.backup file from the rar and place at the root of your INTERNAL sdcard then flash the second zip from OP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wildchld:
Can't post it but I can help get it if someone with a T999v can PM me to pull the modem from there phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] prabjeetmaan:
REMEMBER DOING THIS WILL UNROOT UR DEVICE SO FIRST INSTALL VOODOO ROOT KEEPER THIS WILL KEEP UR DEVICE ROOTED!!!!!!

Cheers everyone :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hah2110:
Can someone help me understand the three files in the OP? I'm a little confused. I flashed it the other day but did it twice because I never saw the progress bar, even though i got success messages. On cm10, my data speeds were slow in areas I normally had 15mb/2mb+. Even with the radio flash though, data speeds are still capped around 5mb down. I attached a screenshot because it looks like it is flashed properly. Now I see the three files in the OP. I want to try reflashing but am unclear exactly what to flash in what order.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wildchld:
That was posted that in the OP... But Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wildchld:
The screenie shows your updated

The second file is to restore your original modem if you want to revert but if you flash more than once it was over written

The 3rd file is the original modem.backup so if you did flash more than once you can get UVLEM modem restored

Last your are correct about the status bar not moving I need to fix that in the script thx!

:eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dr4stic:
Were you getting the 15mb/2mb+ on CM10 or on stock? I thought the general consensus (which I've exprerienced as well) was that the CM9/10 builds were capped on speed for some reason and at the moment the priorities for CM10 on the T999 were to work out the bugs and add buttery goodness rather than focus on proper/fast radio function.

So, the speeds you're seeing may not be because of the radio flash.

I'll say this.. my speeds on my Blaze 4G were MUCH faster than what I'm seeing on CM10. I used to regularly get between 8-12 / 2.5 Mb/s on the T769 where as on the T999 w/ CM10 I only get as far as 4.5 / 1 Mb/s. Kinda wish I'd run a speed test before I switched from stock on the T999 :)

Works great on sonic rom flashed using touch cwm
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 1ncognit0:
ok so i did this and everything went ok in odin but after reboot my screen gets stuck at the black screen with the samsung logo and i also got blue led light on. waited 10-15 mins nothing so i took out battery and tried again but no luck. when i press vol up+power+home button, i get into a mode called the manual mode? is this suppose to happen if the firmware flashed worked?

FOR FUTURE USERS: I went into the manual mode, and selected wipe data and wipe cache and it doesnt get stuck at the screen anymore and my modem is back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] prabjeetmaan:
It should not happen cuz its official stock firmware.

Looks like it works on ATT network for the T999 too! Now my speed is at 6Mbps not at 1Mbps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
Quick question to clarify... The only zip I need to flash in order to update to the new modem is the first one in the op? So long as I only flash it once, then I'm all good & it has updated my radio, and made my backup, correct? Also, was this a modem update from Tmo, or just a modified one from one of our devs to improve signal? Thanks in advance! ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hah2110:
Anyone seeing increased speeds on CM10?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NikNexus:
I also noticed that my Wi-Fi doesn't drop connection any more as it did before. Idk if it was due to CM10's newest build or if it was this modem. I find that the "H" shows more now as well, even though data speed still feels the same...

Sent from my EOS.XOOM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
I'm on FreeGS3, and DAMN, this increased speeds significantly! Just tested from my bedroom & went from 10mbps to 18mbps! In my living room I went from 8mbps to 10mbps! This radio is giving me the speeds I used to see on my Amaze, which was probably the fastest data speeds I've gotten on any phone. We'll see though, I've seen as high as 24mbps on the Amaze when I had it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Can we flash this through twrp instead of cwm?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
ya there both basically cwm.

And to put it back we flash the other one and move files?

[Acer Iconia A500] Psychlone:
*** SOLVED ***

Hey all.

So I've had my A500 for about a year now and it's been on several different ROMs and kernels over that time.

Most recently, I was running Flexreaper R12 (I believe) and ICS was running very smoothly.

At some point a few months ago (after a Flexreaper update), I was experiencing the Sleep Of Death and flashed an AntiSOD kernel to stop it (which it did). All this time, for some reason or another, I never updated the bootloader past the Honeycomb bootloader - and that's where I'm stuck right now.

I've tried using AfterOTA in every possible way to get anything else loaded.

I've tried Blackthund3r's A500 APX Flash Utility with at least 7 different APX packages, but no matter what I try, I'm still stuck with Flexreaper and the HC bootloader.

FWIW, both AfterOTA and the A500 APX Flash Util experience a problem with my A500 when it reboots. Most of the time I can get the device to be recognized by my OS (Windows 7 x64), but sometimes it doesn't and fails on driver install, even though I've installed the Google drivers direct from the SDK as well as Acer's drivers (USB_Acer_1.00.0524_A30H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501).

I'm pretty sure this is a driver issue, but I'm unclear on how to fix it. I've uninstalled ALL drivers related to the A500, rebooted and reinstalled them, I've uninstalled them and then pointed the installer directly to the unzipped USB driver folder (from above), but it seems that at some point the device fails to be seen, only rarely - but it's this that I think is the main problem... or I'm missing something.

So, any advice for someone that's STUCK on the old 3.01 bootloader?

Psychlone
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
i was stuck to so i downgraded got the ics bootloader from the ota and then used afterOTA to get the unlocked version and it worked :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Psychlone:
So how did you downgrade? I've done everything I can think of - at least 6 times over...

That was the plan after I figured that downgrading back to stock and then going up from there was the only way, but I can't even go back to Honeycomb 3.2 or even 3.1.

Check this out - I even made sure to make a CWM backup of my original setup before I upgraded to 3.2 back almost a year ago...but I can't get it to restore. In fact, I made several different backups and can't get ANY of them to restore.

So, in short, what did you do to go backwards?

Psychlone

EDIT: when I try to get into APX or Bootloader, it always ends up in Thor 1.7 and my computer doesn't recognize the device with a device driver install fail for MTP USB Device, even though I've installed the Acer Recovery drivers and the Google SDK drivers too... wtH? o_O
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
if your on the honeycomb bootloader simply flash a honeycomb rom and kernel no need to use afterOTA or anything else if i remember correctly
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
you got a couple of choices....

with the HC Bootloader and ics rom...

full wipe and flash an HC rom or

nandroid restore an HC backup or

flash an update.zip

as a last resort - a complete downgrade/rollback use timmydeansv4 EUU - just be sure to follow the instructions in jazzyjames post on how to roll back - iu dont wanna get it wrong and end up stuck in apx mode. If it doesnt work first time....STOP...disconnect yr data cable and reboot tab and pc, use a different USB port and try it again....

Some folks have had issues with win64 so if you are able to then try on a different pc

sometimes a restore wont work unless you restore it with the recovery you used to back up with in the first place which may have been cwm 1.3.4 in your case....maybe???

as far as the MTP driver goes...that can be a pain...i had the same trouble a few days ago on ICS...took ages to get installed....and i still dont know why it did....or why it wouldnt....very frustrating!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
he's not on the ics bootloader though so couldn't he just flash the 3.01 unstable and get the OTA? or go back to a stock rom in general?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Yeh 2nd line of my post hc bootloader ics rom, and u correct use 3.01 buggy update,zip or stock update.zip I shoulda been clearer - thanks gears:)
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Yeh I hear u m8, its taken me all nite and day to revert back to HC and then upgrade again....dam pesky Picasso drivers.....

why not do as gears suggested....boot to cwm do all the wipes and formatsand flash an HC rom, ezterrys has a rooted one...no drivers needed . or am I missing something?

D/l link for timmydeans euu in my cpuid thread
[Acer Iconia A500] Psychlone:
Well, I would but no matter what image I put on my SD or even internal SD, and no matter what recovery I use, there's always some type of fail - usually an MD5 fail, or just a fail without any error code at all (little android on his back with the red exclamation, but no code)

I'm clearly missing SOMETHING.

I'm about to try the EUU right now unless there's some other advice...

EDIT::

OK, so I'm really in bad shape here - now the EUU (PBJ20upgrade) comes back with the error:

Please download the newer image for the upgrade.

Current image version: Acer_AV041_A500_1,054.Acer_AV041_A500

New image version: Acer_A500_1.016.05_Com_GEN1

What now????
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
oh hell now i'm confused, lol.....the little android dude is the acer stock recovery....i thought you had thors 1.7...oh well, nvm

Hopefully the EUU will install the right drivers for you....just be sure NOT to connect your data cable until u see the "cannot detect yr iconia tab" screen and it will give u instructions on how to get into apx mode...oh just before that window the EUU will try and scan your system image it will take a good 5 mins b4 it pops up the window to go into apx don't panic just let it do its thing:)....good luck m8!!!!

Oh and this will completely wipe yr system and user data.....
[Acer Iconia A500] Psychlone:
Some of the WEIRDEST stuff I've ever experienced - EVER.

Oh, the little dead android is when I'm using the stock recovery - I get different errors in TWRP and all the CWM Thor's that I've tried...(134, 71 and 712)

OK, so now PBJ20upgrade won't let me advance because apparently my CPUID isn't correct... it's the ICS version that's 13 characters long instead of 15, and my dmesg doesn't even contain the word "androidboot" at all (it does, however, contain a crapload of errors.)

What's going on?

OK, I'm an idiot. I really need help. I'm just glad that I'm 40 and don't lose my cool anymore, otherwise, I'd be freaking out about now. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
cpuid = 15/16 chars go to one of yr cwm nandroid backups theres a uid.txt file in the folder all the other methods rely on adb??? if not try usbdeview thats in the thread too;)
