Anyone in the Uk either with Virgin mobile care to advise if they have used one of these and which one?

I am ok at the moment with xi9100xlps ril with 4.2.1 but when I goto a 4.2.2 rom, I get signal issues. Baseband is i9100jhlpc
[Galaxy S II General] marcusjt:
FWIW, I've checked my /system/lib folder and all 3 files are present (libsec-ril.so, libsecril-client-sap.so, and libsecril-client.so) with only libsec-ril.so having today's date 2012-09-13 whereas the other two are dated 2008-08-01, along with all the other files in the /system/lib folder.

Might this perhaps indicate that GetRIL only updates the libsec-ril.so file?
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
Try it, you won loose nothing, is the same performance of BVLP7 on I9100P 4.0.3

For iUSACELL Mexico is superb on both wifi and 4G, for battery is ok, my phone never lasted so long with other modems, but it depends on

your firmware and telecom operator.

Ah yes, I see, thanks! Such a schoolboy error suggests I should be getting some sleep... goodnight!
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
Dont use Getril, modem from 4.0.3 has 2 files and from 4.0.4 has 3 files, try BVLPE but think is not meant for JB.
[Galaxy S II General] marcusjt:
Android 4.1 + LPX modem + GetRIL seem to be working fine together...
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
Is not about Getril because the program should do the same the script do, even if I install PBVLP7 works in my phone but is

a modem for P variant and for 4.0.3, now with the correct modem ril combination for 4.0.4, my phone really works fine, before

I had problems when calling, now it works as it should be, maybe is not a big change. If for you its ok, dont change it, but

think in your case is useless to have mode+ril, because that combination if for other version of ROM so you can put whatever

RIL and whatever modem, because is the same

[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
I agree with you there mate.

It's for this reason that when anyone posts up a new modemRIL installer, I will make a link to the post in post #1, otherwise people will never be able to find what they are looking for. If I don't add it within a day or so, then I may have overlooked it, so drop me a PM.

:)

Thanks again to citytrader for all your help mate

:good:

Thanks also to goolby for creating XXKH3.

Just a quick note to anyone who does happen to upload a new installer script. You are obviously using the modem.bin and /system/lib files for that particular firmware/modem, but for consistency it would be nice if you also update the installer script file to show the name of the modem in the install, so as not to alarm people who run the script. Obviously this is not an essential thing to do, but it looks better. :)

This file in the zip file is:

META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

This refers to the modem version on the 4th line.

Thanks again! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Adam Hui:
U need to read my post above carefully as u didn't get my point... I've tried all modems that op put in..& I really wanted xxkh3 ril even from froyo.. I said u can use it even in jb... now I was forced but enjoy bvlp7+ril as it supported by getril & this op.. read again..:)

Can someone list the latest S2 JB modems or point me to a list or something to check?

Currently running BVLPE with no problems whatsoever and quite good battery life but I ustand from the discussion above that I need to use JB modem for JB rom? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
Not necessarily mate.

With modems, its usually a case of trial and error until you find one that works for you, as performance can vary across regions and carriers.

I'm finding BVLP7 the best for me so far, getting good signal strength, and Fast Dormancy seems to be behaving properly too.

I've added XXKI4 modem to Post #1. An old GB modem, but I've seen many people on here in the past rate this highly.
[Galaxy S II General] inferno17x:
Some findings my ROM original comes with XWLPO RIL which comes with HSPA+ signal.

I tried to flash any version of radio without changing to a matching RIL it will gives me HSPA+ signal. But once I install the compatible RIL for the radio the HSPA+ signal is gone.

If I install back the RIL for XWLPO HSPA+ is back.

So does it means that not all RIL support HSPA+ even if they are compatible?

[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
Which modem came with XWLPO? was it an NExxx one? How did the one that came with XXLPO perform? Probably a similar NExxx modem+RIL would work.

I notice in your sig you are on XXKH3 modem. Therefore it may just mean installing the old GB RIL for this does not do the job for you, and that it requires a more carrier-specific version of the RIL.

Like I mentioned, there is a lot of trial and error in trying to find the best one that works for you.
[Galaxy S II General] inferno17x:
I see your ROM is the same as mine so by right our RIL should be the same. If not you can download the RIL from GetRIL and install any modem you will get HSPA+ signal. Just ignore the incompatibility of RIL in GetRIL.

The actual modem for XWLPO is XXLQ6. And I try to flash any other modem without changing the RIL and leave it as default as XWLPO RIL I'm having HSPA+ signal. Currently now I'm on XXKH3 modem with XWLPO RIL and still having HSPA+ signal. If I try to download compatible RIL from get RIL HSPA+ signal will be lost.

I'm not quite sure what CM/AOKP type ROMs do with regards to modem.

I notice for example in the paranoid android zip, there is no modem.bin.

Perhaps these have a firmware-specific RIL?
[Galaxy S II General] inferno17x:
Yes there is no modem.bin for the ROM but if you check the RIL version in GetRIL is XWLPO. And I'm still able to get HSPA+ signal without compatible RIL for this modem.

So I tried to search for the compatible modem which belongs to this RIL which is XXLQ6.

After installation of XXLQ6 modem I'm getting HSPA+ signal with compatible RIL which comes with the ROM.

Then I tried to install any other modem without changing the RIL HSPA+ signal stays.

To what I think that the RIL with HSPA+ signal have to stay with the ROM and just need to change modem without RIL and you will get HSPA+ signal.

The other modem which comes with compatible RIL and with HSPA+ for this ROM which I have tested is BVLPE.

Sure it will definitely work on either model, the same as the GT-i9100 modems will also work on the GT-i9100T

For me when I'm in Australia I use the Optus network... and their network coverage is so pathetic that I need all the help I can get.

I find that ANY modem for the T model will work better than the standard international modems on my GT-i9100T in AU.

When I'm in Thailand (like now) it doesn't seem to matter what modem I run... I get full signal everywhere.

Sorry for posting something that is considered spam but after searching I didn't find the answer I was looking for. Here's the Q: what modem should I use use for Romania ? My call sound quality is very bad and I couldn't care less at this point about Data speed. I've installed quite a few modems and played around with noise suppression but none had the desired effect.

[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
I'm assuming you're on PhilZ kernel... it fails because the modem.zip file is using an old binary that PhilZ rejects.

Extract the modem.bin from the zip file and flash it using Odin or Mobile Odin or change kernel and then flash the modem.zip.

Re: [REF] Samsung Modem+RIL CWM Installers

Hi, Could you tell me please, How can I "create" a modem.zip file to flash via CWMR, I need the UHLPH and BLVPE modems to try, but here they are only in combo (modem&Ril.zip), I already have been searching at the links posted at the OP, including your cave and nothing. I'm using NeatRom Lite 4.3, with the philz 4.64 fixed Kernel. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
The easiest way is just to extract the modem.bin from the zip file and flash that from the PDA section of Odin or use Odin Mobile.

Re: [REF] Samsung Modem+RIL CWM Installers

Thank you mate, really appreciate your help. I'll do that way for now, just that I still want to learn how to do that zip file for sharing with others from my region. If you know a link that contains the hard way, please tell me for read it.
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
Just find any flashable zip modem file that works on your phone and replace the modem.bin with the modem.bin of your choice.

You can use WinRAR or 7zip or several other apps to do this quite easily.

As long as the modem.zip that you're trying to flash has the updated binaries if you're flashing with PhilZ kernel... otherwise it will fail with error msg.

[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:

Nothing on XDA should be just flash and go... Everything should at least be Read Carefully First and then Read AGAIN before flashing.

Re: [REF] Samsung Modem+RIL CWM Installers

...and then read one more time, to figure out where and how you screwed up. :p

[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
Maybe nothing... You won't be able to judge unless you try for yourself.

The RIL files are supplied by Samsung in addition to the modem when the the firmware is released.

You can read about what they are for by checking THIS link on Wikipedia.

Your phone may function just fine without changing them but on the other hand, why not try to rule out the RIL as a possible reason for you problem.

Re: [REF] Samsung Modem+RIL CWM Installers

Thank you for the advice. So it was probably the ril that caused my problems. Tryed nefk4 plus ril. Then had efs problems. Then I restored nandroid and then Tryed nefk2 no ril which went I OK.. Download flash and reboot. That's what I ment by flash and go.

Hi Guys, I need some help.

I just upgraded my girlfriends Samsung Galaxy SII (I9100) to cM1UI (4.1.2), and I figured I should upgrade her baseband/modem as well. We live in the UK and this is an unlocked phone on O2. Her previous baseband was: "I9100XXLPQ"

I did some research and got to this thread. I first ended up flashing "ModemRIL_UGMA5.zip", but when I rebooted it does not connect to any carrier network. It cant even locate any. Wifi works.

In desperation/panic I flashed "ModemRIL_XXLS8.zip", rebooted, but it's the same. No carriers. (and that also did write over my auto backup [did not think about that – stupid me]). I do have backup of the EFS folder.

About in settings says: "Baseband Version: Unknown"

What to do. Please help. Sort of panicing here.

I did not take a nandroid backup either, since I was erasing all and installing a new rom.

Could you please elaborate on the Odin solution?
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
Re: [REF] Samsung Modem+RIL CWM Installers

Flash your efs folder though odin or mobile odin. Wifi works still yes? Download it. Do bk of everything now. Even if it don't work still bk it up just to be safe. Also make a copy of it. Pc or different sd card. What iv learned from android and xda is read read and read some more before doing anything 'you no who you are' lol and bk up always. Will help as much as I can but never used odin.
[Galaxy S II General] Jon (aka nle):
Thank you, is it possible to flash a directory. I backed up trough root explorer (made a zip of the folder).

Anyhow, when I check the efs folder on the phone it looks exactly like the one I backed up.
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
Re: [REF] Samsung Modem+RIL CWM Installers

If its a full zip file yes. I did this but I had to mount efs folder in advanced settings in cwm. You do have Cwm? Or you can take efs folder out of bk up and flash that though odin. Glad you have bk up :)
[Galaxy S II General] Jon (aka nle):
I sort of managed to fix this. Still not 100%, but it is working.

Recap:

I flash "cM1UI" (4.1.2), and everythings works fine. But the baseband is kind of old. I should flash a new one.

I backup my "efs" folder.

I flash "ModemRIL_XXLS8.zip" and I can no longer connect to any carriers.

I try different things, but nothing seems to work.

In "GetRIL" app, I have mismatching RIL/Baseband.

I read somewhere that the "efs" folder rarely gets corrupted, and that I just can reflash the rom.

I reflash "cM1UI", and everything works again.

I go into "GetRIL" and it still says mismatching RIL/Baseband. So I download the correct RIL through the app and reboot.

Boom, no carrier signals again. And the app still says mismatching.

So I can fix this issue by reflashing my ROM file, but the baseband is still not correct. But it works.

Any solution to getting the RIL/Baseband correct?
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
Re: [REF] Samsung Modem+RIL CWM Installers

Bk up your efs now. Do a nandroid bk as well. As it now work Is it your old baseband.? Flash baseband through odin. Seems to be safest way.
