I personally did not notice any difference between the two. Both were quite stable for me and seemed to be better all around. I cant give any data to back that up in this case though, I never ran any actual tests. Have you tried flashing the AT&T MJ2 kernel? Doing this solves the problem where wifi does not work at all if you did not fully update the firmware. Maybe it could help for you too?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nilaim:
Thanks for your help to all.

I am now using T999 UVUEMJC (Leaked) modem on stock JB 4.1.2 ROM and it works very well in Brazil. This solved my problem of constantly losing GSM connection.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thetolsonator:
I can take the new T999L modem for 4.3 and flash it along with the leak ROM you released for the T999 right?

Thanks for everything Doc!

Yes I'm using the infamous 4.3 V.6

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes that's correct. Do note, you can use the 4.3 Modem with even pre4.3 roms should you choose to do so.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thetolsonator:
Sweet, now I'm just hoping it isn't affected by the /0 folder thing...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
The /0 is a User Partitioning security feature introduced by Google. Yes it is there. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thetolsonator:
Ahhh crap.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You can symlink it if you are that annoyed. But will need to do spot of coding though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
In all honesty, for many reasons, it really is best to start fresh on this update. Far fewer bugs and problems to deal with. This includes backing up and formatting the sdcard. Then after updating, plug in the phone and copy files back.

Of course, this doesn't actually help much if you flash a lot.

And yes, you should be avble to use the 4.3 modem with older firmware and roms. But you cannot use older modems on the new firmware and roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I was looking into writing a script to counter the /0 folder issue, but have been too swamped to do much and don't have a device to reference or test on yet. Maybe someone else will get to it first, but if not I will still try to do so. It will take time for me though.

FWIW, fellow friend here on XDA is out to sell his S3.

I will let you know if I get around to working on it again. Thanks!

As for the S3 for sale, you can pm me how much he wants if you like. Though I'd be surprised to hear its less than the $150 I'm working towards for an insurance claim. Im only about $30-40 shy, so hopefully it won't take much longer....so long as murphy stays outta my way! :knock on wood: (I think he's got a vendetta against me this month....every time I start to turn things around...well, we've all been there.)

Quick questions, I apologize in advanced if its been asked or easily answered via search. But this isn't my phone and occasionally update it for a family member. Anyways, I'm bout to update it to CM11 from CM10.2 (4.3.1) and completely forgot all about the modems/baseband. Its currently on T999UVDLJA (I assume that means its the T999 model correct?).

1. These are Odin flashed correct?

2. Can I use mobile Odin?

3. Will this increase the flash count? I don't even know if I've increased it rooting it way back. I odined a recovery to root.

Mind you I haven't had a touchwiz Samsung device since I ditched my epic 4G.

Thanks.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
First confirm that you have already custom recovery as you are not on touchwiz so it is sure that your flash counter is increased

Once Check out and make sure that you have dlja firmware, and then you can download root66 latest firmware and flash with Odin with computer so you will be on latest firmware / modem which is required for cm11

Then you can choose and flash cm 11 with cwr
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ÜBER™:
Lolwut? I appreciate the help but your misinformed.

I've already flashed CM11, still using the old baseband. No issues with radio or anything else so I don't know what you're talking about flashing rooted firmware.

Second, I know what you mean about having custom recovery and since I'm not on touchwiz I have my flash counter increased. :confused:. I'm not really concerned about it anyways... I've just heard talk about it and figured I'd ask about it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not long ago devs began making it a requirement that you be on a recent firmware build before flashing. To many bugs were being encountered on older firmware.

So its recommended that you be on MD5 firmware, or at least LJC.

I think that may be what he was getting at.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I'd agree. Recent Goo Manager will download Recovery but then won't flash it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sammy4Life:
Doc, thanks for all the effort you have put into this. I have a question and much as I love to read, not sure if I can get through 73 plus pages to dig for an answer. I recently had some trouble with my wifes T999L, so I decided go fresh, used the roto66 4.1.2 file then upgraded to CM 10.2 which now is running fantastically on the device.

Questions is can I upgrade just the Radio at this stage flashing the Baseband: UVUBMK4 listed on the first page via TWRP w/o any issues?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes, you should be able to do that without any issues. And if it doesn't perform as expected you can just flash back.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
Check the coverage map for your area. It sounds like you are on the border of 2g land and 4g land, and your phone keeps bouncing back and forth trying to decide which signal is stronger. This happened to me all the time when I was on Sprint.

I recommend you go to settings>wireless & networks>more>mobile networks>preferred network type and change it to "GSM/WCDMA preferred". See how this works before messing with any other network settings.

Hi guys, I'm trying to downgrade from the MK5 to DLL1 baseband on my Wind T999V but can't seem to do so. Flashing it with stock recovery gives some signature error. I then installed TWRP and flashed it but after that it shows baseband as 'unknown' and I lost my IMEI, thankfully flashing back to MK5 solves everything. Is there no way to downgrade to DLL1 with 4.3 firmware?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Please don't double post. I already answered your query elsewhere.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nightstalker1993:

Sounds like you have T999N. If so, then you have a choice of UVAME4 for that device. Also, you can choose from the 2 T999L modems UVUBMK4 and UVAMB7. Mind you, if you had accepted the stock update to 4.3 or were already upgraded then probably your only other choice is UVUBMK4. You can try these 3 and see for yourself where you get better signal.

1mbps down on t999L

Hi all,

I've been scouring threads for quite some time and am not finding any clarity. Hopefully you guys have a very quick answer that I've just missed.

Scenario: craigslist purchased a t999L, prior updated OTA to MK4, on a reseller of the t-mobile network (myfamilymobile). Has been getting 1mbps down, 0.5 mbps up the whole time. I've tried downgrading to the UVAMB7 and UVAEME4 modems that you packaged, but when I do and boot back, I get no signal and Baseband Version: Unknown. This happens with 4.3 and 4.2.1 on multiple flavors of roms.

Do you know why modems are coming up unknown? I've seen mention of accepting OTA causing an issue, but haven't seen anything clear about how/what. Can you think of any other reasons that this would be getting 1mbps down?

Would love to get something better than 1mb down on this LTE network...

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

And, I suppose an important question re the OTA, will it be damaging to try the root66 root66_TMO_T999L_UVAMB7.tar? That was a next step.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adamsa:
Ok, a little more reading of the FAQ thread indicates that once you've OTA'd 4.3 that you're stuck. Am I to assume that this means that I can use the MK4 modem only, and that the other 2 not working now is to be expected? If so, I'd love some advice as to what I should do to this thing to get better radio perf. (Issue happened in both nyc and la, so it's not a tower issue)

thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You read correct. You are stuck with MK4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adamsa:
Thanks Perseus,

So is there any danger in my attempting: 1) Kies to get back to stock, 2) Root66 from DocHolliday77 (which is the most current root66, anyway?), 3) any of the CM ROMs? Basically, what scenario will I brick my phone, if I'm using only T999L/N?

And any thoughts on what on earth could be causing such poor net perf? Almost Edge speeds.Do you have a suggestion for the best kernel/rom/etc combo that should be ideally stable for net testing?

Thanks,

Adam

I just put on Phone Signal Notifier. It doesn't have an intuitive menu, but it does what you need and doesn't seem to take up too much cpu. There is a map overlay in the menu if you hunt around. Apparently Samsung implementation of android won't let you display more than one tower at a time.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
it is a very cool idea I agree. A few days ago I tried searching for some info on how or if it can be done in Googles Public Maps but didn't come up with much. (Didn't spend a whole lot of time on it tbh). But since you guys have brought it up ill see if I at least can find a definitive answer to whether it can be done.

Ill pm vnguyen later to see if he may have any info to share.

I was thinking about just putting the towers on, but your idea (fcortes) about trying to overlay the tmobile coverage map would be pretty sweet! And even better if theres a way to toggle these things on/off like you can with satellite imagery!

Nice find on that app. I didn't know about it but can see how it could come in handy. Ill have to play around with that a bit. Thanks! Gonna go look for that overlay you mentioned first though!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vnguyen972:
Well, to maintain the map with the towers might be possible but would take lots of time... I think... there's already a map of this info out there... and I'm not sure how to incorporate it into our map... if even possible... but something worth to look into.

http://opensignalmaps.com/network-coverage-maps/t-mobile-coverage-map.php

There's also an app OpenSignalMaps, that'll tell you which tower you're connected to. Maybe something one could load up on your phone and find out.

i started adding towers.

to add towers near your area:

-go to cell reception and enter your city and state under the map and click go to find towers in your area.

-next open public maps and sign in to your google account to edit the map

- once signed in click on the red edit button on the left

-now on the top left corner of the map area (near the zoom in and out) click on the blue bubble/place marker.

-now place the marker as accurate as possible to the same place where the map in the cell reception website from step one show

-now go to the cell reception website and click the bubble and some info pops up. copy that info to your place marker (it should say tmobile corp or something similar and on the bottom it should show the address where the tower is located).

-now we need to change the icon. still on the google maps and still editing the info on the place marker click on the square/place marker drawing on the top right corner of the next to the "X".

-Now copy this link: http://cdn.androlib.com/appicon/app-qiEq.cs.png

-now click on add icon to the right and paste the link on the previous step on the window that pops up and click ok.

- now click on ok to finish editing the placemarker

-now click on save first and then done (located where the red edit button was on step 3) to finish editing the map and save your work

-Congratulations you have now added a tower :highfive:

Not sure if they can be added as a seperate layer that way they can be toggled on and off?

New radio has been great for me. Hit 20 Mbps for the first time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
So long you use T999LUVUBMK4 for both Kies and Doc's Root66 link, you are safe. Any other versions (Either Kies or Root66) prior to that will hard brick your phone. Where bad speeds are concerned, Please read Post # 3 carefully end to end. Follow the tweaks as well.

As to the Rom & Kernel Combo, any AOSP Roms potentially will have better speeds provided you have correct APN Set as default. I personally use SlimKat Rom and KT747 Kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adamsa:
So I Odin'd back to root66 MK4 stock and am still having less than 1mbps with this T999L.

Anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be happening? The prop edits are for tuning, but we're talking about less than 10% of estimated speed - not even getting 3g it seems.

Feel free to repackage to your liking if you decide to add it to the OP and whatnot, Doc.

I don't pay much attention to vendor stuff, but the discussion here urged me to go ahead and pick apart the firmware (just in case the modem itself had been updated to address issues in the mentioned blog post).

I've also made a firmware package (based on [MENTION=3090489]mnasledov[/MENTION] 's MD5 zip).[flash back to older firmware at your discretion]

Ah I see. Well I wish him all the best, hope it's not anything too bad. Just thought I'd bring it up in case he ends up coming up again.

And yup. Everything I release on this site is usually tested by at least myself unless I let you know otherwise. Both should work just fine on T999.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mnasledov:
Thanks! Though I'd like to actively discourage people from upgrading to KNOX-enabled firmwares -- there is currently no way to de-KNOX a phone with a KNOX-enabled bootloader.

There's a lot of discussion about KNOX that I'll leave out of here. It seems people can run CyanogenMod and what-not with KNOX-enabled firmware just fine. It does trip a "KNOX Warranty Void" flag we can't clear but from some recent discussion I read on the subject, some people argue it's the warranty on the KNOX security, not the warranty on the phone.

Caveat Emptor!!! Flashing just the modem is completely fine, though.
