Yeah I was thinking along those lines as well

TBH, I would only be flashing it out of curiousity to see if it offers any performance/battery improvements. I don't have any major issues on LQ6 so might just avoid the uncessary flashing.

Thanks for the advice though, much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] Porkchops:
Just wondering what you guys would suggest as the best method to test out different modems to find the best one for your area, or if there is already a list compiled of people's reports of what works best by area or not?

I also made the mistake of messing around with my RIL while using JB and lost all mobile data... Didn't realize it until this morning (was on WiFi the whole time before and didn't even think to turn it off and assumed everything was peachy haha)
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Well what country and network you on?

[Galaxy S II General] Porkchops:
In Canada, on SaskTel's network (the same as Bell or Telus' networks)... I was using Rootbox JB, messed around with it, had done a nandroid after setting it up/before messing around with the RIL/modems, but restoring the nandroid backup or flashing the ROM fresh again still isn't helping (I'm assuming because it's not touching the modem or the RIL??) ... If I go back to an ICS ROM like Mystic's Glory (either fresh flash or a nandroid backup), it works fine again though, so I'm guessing I need to use the JB modem or something (although I also read earlier in the thread that modems aren't dependent on that (or maybe it was just kernel or something, so confused haha!)??

EDIT: After doing the nandroid back to Rootbox JB, I noticed GetRIL showed my modem as XXLPX (while my RIL was still set to XXKI4), so I changed my RIL to XXLPX since I assume that's the modem I was using before I started messing around with it, rebooted, but still not having any luck with mobile data... I'm able to place calls without any issues it seems, and text messages are going through without issues... I'm starting to wonder if mobile data has worked at all since flashing Rootbox or not now :S
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
More than likely, changing the RIL with GetRIL has caused your issues... Perhaps try reflashing the ROM without wipe and see if that fixes it.
[Galaxy S II General] Porkchops:
Tried reflashing with all sorts of different options - with wipe, without wipe, flashing to a different version of Jelly Bean ROM, the only thing that seemed to get mobile data working again was to restore my ICS nandroid backup.

Eventually I figured it out (and I can't say if it was flashing the Jelly Bean ROM or GetRIL that caused it or not, unfortunately) - somehow my APN settings were blown out, it was completely empty. So I restored my nandroid backup of the ICS ROM, wrote down all my APN settings, then flashed Jelly Bean ROM again and manually entered all the APN settings and sure enough everything's working again!

Thanks so much for all your help though, I really appreciate it!
[Galaxy S II General] Porkchops:
So just a question, I don't know if anyone has an answer but I'm really curious to try and figure out why certain modems work so much better in different parts of the world... Is it a spectrum thing, maybe the vendor of the provider edge/access equipment (Ie Huawei vs Nokia Siemens), or ???

Also just curious to know what the best way to fully test the different modems out to find the best one is... From what I understand modems can have a big impact on battery life as well as mobile data speeds, so the latter isn't really hard to determine, but what is the "standard" or recommended way to test it to see if it's going to adversely affect battery life without testing out all the different modems over the course of the next few months or so (like is there is a quick and easy way to tell if a particular modem is going to play nice with the battery life, or is it something that you pretty much need to be able to run for a while and judge?). If there is a quick way to determine the battery side of things, I've got no problem trying out a whole bunch of different ones and sharing my findings, but if not I think I might just use whatever modem comes with whatever firmware I happen to be using at the time. Until a few days ago I had no idea modems could play such a big role in performance and battery life haha
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
I basically see which gives best reception and speed straight away as the signal is the determining factor because your phone will use more power trying to get a signal if its poor reception.

Once i have the 2 or 3 best signal modems (easy for me because my house is in a poor reception spot so most modems give me 0 - 1 bar and only the NELP modems give me 2+).

Yes modems can change slightly after a bedding in period but a 0 bar signal will not go up to 4 bars after 3 days and a 4 bar signal won't go down to 0 bars!

And in my opinion they hardly change at all from the second they are flashed to weeks later so no need to wait for "bed in"!

then i'll test speed in the main places i go like home (but can have wi-fi at home anyway so not too bothered) work and any other regular places you go.

Then out of that i find my best modem, which for me is NELP3;)

[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
I can't see any reason why LS6 modem would not work on CM10 ROM... The only problem would be if you tried to use a matching RIL.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
I'm in UK and the NELP modems were originally for the 3 network which i am on.

Try BVLP7 or KH3 they are generally good so i hear, or even try NELP2 & NELP4 if you have no luck!

Try to find out which modem your phone came with stock as that will probably be a good one for you.

But... I am finding NELP3 isn't as good on JB as ICS:confused:

It looks like we are just gonna have to wait till ApriliaM3 and co. get the files they need for JB until we get decent modems.

Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G No Ring problem

I have a question don't know if it's in-topic on not.

I have Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G, when someone call me and the screen is off (locked) nothing rings, nor it shows a missed call on the screen. and when someone calls me while it's ringing on his phone and nothing happens on my phone i unlock the screen (only light up the screen) it shows the incoming call.

I think somehow it's related to baseband, I don't know how! but I think it's a baseband issue.

I Tried Official ICS 4.0.3 and RootBox JB but the same problem still exist.

Now I have

ICS 4.0.3

Baseband XXLPR

Can I use anything from this topic to overcome this problem ?

Thanks in advanced.

You can try flashing a modem just to rule it out but if no luck i would do a full wipe and flash a different ROM.

thanks for making this thread and collecting all these modems together.

there are so many other threads its impossible to find the modem u need quickly. and considering most of the other threads links are dead this makes it much easier.

quick question though...

are you sure that flashing the modem.bin file alone in odin will also update the ril?

thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
No, flashing the modem.bin in Odin will only change the modem - not the RIL files.

You can try to change the modem only first and keep the existing RIL files, but when experiencing problems with your mobile connectivity, you can try the flash the modem/RIL combo files from here to change the RIL files too.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] hyperthrust:
I thought I would report that lps modem will not work with NeatROM Lite 4.0. Based on Latest unofficial leak stock.

Just tried myself now.

So went back to the stock one also provided here and all is fine again. :)

I will in future use the back up script and restore script but was frustrated as the zips where not flashing with the Philz latest kernel so had to flash latest Dorimanx kernel first and boot into that recovery first and install modem zip then flash Philz Kernel again (out of breath:D) in order to boot into rom.

I'm a noob. Hello everyone.:D

Hello again.

Its me, the guy from 4 posts above who has all the strange issues with signal dropouts and no one knows anything.

I compiled list with all the Samsung firmwares made for Romania, then compared with all the modem+ril scripts that hawkerpaul put at the begining of this thread, and found ModemRIL_BULP7_4.0.3_BULPD_VD2.zip to be the closest match.

I flahsed it to my Neat ROM XWLPI (Android 4.0.3) and I have improvements. The phone doesn't loose signal that often anymore and it has much better battery life.

But, it still looses signal for about 10sec a few times each day and here it is how it looks like (see attachment). The it says "Emergency calls only" for 3-5sec and then it registers to the network again.

I still hope someone can help me with the problem 4 posts above. Thanks.

Hello ApriliaM3,

if you remember my issue, SHV-E250S, no baseband, doesn’t recognize the sim card, says (insert your sim card), and imei is null / null.

I had a couple of guys that helped me and sent me their efs backup, but there is no nv_data.bin or bak or md5 files, and they say that they don`t have in there efs directory nv_data files! Do you know by chance where in SHV-E250S IMEI number is stored, since there is no nv_data????
[Galaxy S II General] strokemesilly:
Sorry i dont know how to get odin to recognise the combo packages.

I am not using CWM and will not be installing it on this particular device.

How do i install the RIL files without CWM?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] krezee:
The combos are cwm zip files and hence perhaps not working with odin.

What you can probably try is

1) extract files from the zip which you want to install

2) flash modem.bin using Odin (not sure if odin has an option for this)

3) copy the other files using "adb push" to the respective locations. (You can check the install script to get the target locations for the files.)

Ok, I might have hit gold with my theory above.

I took a original samsung firmware, the newest Orange Romania 4.0.3, I9100BVLPD_I9100OROLPB_ORO

Romania (Orange)	2012 May	Android 4.0.3

PDA: I9100BVLPD

CSC: I9100OROLPB

Version: 4.0.3

Date: 2012-05-25

and I made a combo script modem+ril according to hawkerpaul's description in the first page of this thread. I flashed it to my device and things got even better.

In two days now, I haven't caught my device off the network, and the BBS night tests showed only "No or unknown signal 0.3%", when I previously had >5%, meaning my phone looses signal 1min per 8-9hours night time, when it previously lost signal for more than 30min.

I tend to associate loose of signal with high NetworkStats (Android System) wakelock. Last night it held the phone awake 37min over night, and obviously I had 3G active and consistent traffic from email clients.

About NetworkStats, http://asksven.github.com says it is related to what apps / packages are responsible for high data transfers.

Hawkerpaul, I attached the ModemRIL_4.0.3_I9100BVLPD_I9100OROLPB_ORO.zip so you can put it to the first page and recommend it for 4.0.3 Orange.

Note: For jkay fans, with modem BULP7 the ASU level isn't read, so it shows 0. With modem BLVPD it work properly. See more here.
[Galaxy S II General] jebuchanan:
I have seen several modems that also display 0, instead of actual value. Using Network Signal Info shows 100% The modem/ril for Bell Canada is one such modem. I do not suspect JKay is the issue since the other app displays incorrect signal info also.

[Galaxy S II General] zoneeee:
Ok I am confused now.

I thought the RIL should match the MODEM not the rom.

I'm on JellyBam rom atm ( cyanogenmod 10+AOKP+paranoid settings ) and I have LPS modem.

Since 1 year im experiencing troubles with my signal. My i9100 just display fixed signal bars while it has lost signal and won't get it again until i restart. I can't call or text. Same applies with receiving calls or texts, im not reachable. I dont notice when this happens as the signal bare are stuck and the only way to do it is watch the phone and see if the signal changes sometime. if it's stuck at the same bars for some mins, i'm cut off . and i have no way to determine since when.

This happened with both my i9100, sold the old one got a new one and this still happens. always on rooted phones, tried a lot of kernels, 2-3 modems. always the same problem.

So today I discovered the existence of RIL and thought: maybe ALL this year i've had a modem not matching the RIL and that caused the problem!

So my question is...

I'm on jellybam 4.1.2, non stock rom.

Can i flash LPS+matching RIL ? I'm using LPS atm. working but yesterday got the stuck signal problem again after 1 day of installation. before i was on neatrom and had that problem at least once a week, even 4-5 times a week in bad periods.

Then if i cant fix it with the LPS ril, please someone tell me how can i fix it.

I can't fix the leaked JB ril as fas as i understand, if i cant flash the RIL for my modem i dont know what to do then.:(

ps: I heard GetRil can cause problems on my rom. will it mess things up also if i only use it to read my current ril?
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
No, you can't, the ls6 Rom is currently only compatible with the ls6 ril.

But this has been announced many times...

You can flash the modem only but then you will have (a working) mismatch between ril and baseband.

Who cares, I'm currently at ki4 with no issues.

Merry Christmas guys.

I'm running an old fashion 4.0.3 XWLPI neat rom full with the hawkerpaul-like-modified modem ModemRIL_4.0.3_I9100BVLPD_I9100OROLPB_ORO.zip (Orange Romania.)

It has been 20 days now and the overall experience is good.

With this modem+ril combination I still get kicked out of the netwrok 2-3-4 times a day, but for a very short time (maybe 10sec each time) and its not that bad compared with the original XWLPI modem+ril, whic by the wya, it was xxlpx.

But, I run into a big problem yesterday when I tried to send 2 MMS. Both failed to be delivered, maybe there my APN settings are bad (I have two APNs, one for internet and one for mms and both were defined by default, with the ROM+SIm card settings)

Anyway, after Android said it couldn't deliver the MMS, I noticed the phone lost internet connection although the H+ logo was present (i have jkay framework which makes the gsm signal green color when connected to the Google could - super feature, thanks Jkay!).

I also tested via web browser and still did not had internet. The phone said it was connected to the GSM netwrok and it had GPRS and occasionally H+ connection. But, I could not even initiate a phone call.

Something went really bad after I sent those MMSs. I tried airplane mode in and out but it didn't fixed it. I had to restart and it worked again.

So, guys, may be you can answer me tow questions:

1. how can I make my phone stay 100% time inside the GSM network, considering I have 100% gsm coverage?

2. what could have went wrong with the MMS sending that my phone got out the network? And it still has this problem, even i erased those MSSs.

I attached and overnight BBS dump. I had 3G data on. I lost 21% 44mv when I expected to have 4-7% lost.

See this wakelock:

Checkin Service (Google Services): 30 m 57 s (1857 s) Count:605 4.5%

To me it means the phone tried to connect it tried to connect to the google cloud and, although it has HSDPA, it behaved like being in a very bad gsm signal area.

Oh, and a third question:

3. What is the relation between battery percent lost and voltage (mv) lost? I noticed I could loose the same 10% battery with a 25mv or a 100mv lost in voltage.What's the catch here?
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
With regard to your BBS dump, you're better of posting it in that thread for a response. You can find it

Regarding your MMS issue, I would suggest you to contact your network provider and check that you have the correct APN settings.

Hello All,

I have installed vanilla Rootbox 4.2.1 nightly as secondary ROM on Dorimanx 7.43 kernel.

Primary is 4.1.2 paranoid android. KI4 modem. (installed from a package from here)

Secondary also shows KI4. it seems that the CWM nstall process does not flash the modem for secondary ROM as it might be common.

Now if I have to update the modem with 4.2.1 ROM, which modem+RIL pack from here should i use.

All the modems listed here are till 4.0.4.

Would swap of the two roms and reinstall of the rootbox as primary help the situation.

Re: [REF] Modem+RIL CWM Installers

So why are you using it?

GetRIL has not had its database updated to recognize new firmware and associated modems and RILs.

DO NO USE IT on JB until you have checked the GetRIL thread and confirmed that it has been updated to recognize JB firmware.

Even then, do your due diligence because people are still experiencing issues if you read the thread.
