Okay Thank you again... :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lukaslukasm:
I'm having an issue now since flashing this modem on the latest MOAR rom my baseband is unknown and I cannot connect at all...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lukaslukasm:
This is what I'm talking about and also as you can see it shows no signal bars on my status bar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Did you verify the MD5 checksum before flashing to make sure it was not a bad DL ? I would DL the file again. Verify the MD5 checksum, and flash. Then Update PRL / Profile. You can do that over WiFi. If it still does not connect to data. Then dial ##72786# from the dial pad. It will reset data for the device.

I'm going to do that now and also since flashing this modem I have lost all sounds all I have is haptic feedback and vibrations
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
That would not happen from flashing the Modem. Something else is going on.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lukaslukasm:
Followed your steps, checked the md5 checksum with an app called crypTo and got my data back :D. Also I was able to receive sounds back. I was able to get most sounds back except the system ui sounds. It started happening when I flashed this modem. I went to my sound settings and can't even increase the system volume slider.

EDIT: Nevermind system ui sounds fixed themselves :] Thank you guys so much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Glad you got it sorted :)

I was running MG2 before flashing this and so far the speeds are about the same, the up is a little better, same signal strength, will be able to tell more tomorrow when I use the train to get to work, how fast it can switch towers and pick up after popping up out of the subway. Nice work!

Mk3 is working great for me

Sent from the infected viking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
I upgraded to MK3 and find it to be a stable radio, although I have yet to see any real benefits, on the Sprint network. Although not scientific, I checked signal strength at two locations (one with strong signal, one with fair signal strength) before & after install and found them to be the exact same signal strength as MD4.

Some have said that WiFi signals are slightly better & Airave connects better with this radio, but I haven't been able to test this yet.

Thanks for this CNexus im on bean stalk 4.4 and my phone is flashed to cricket. I usually have little to no signal at home after flashing this ive had strong 3g and excellent voice:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] msarro:
This update has done wonders for me! I had been running MB firmware, and was largely unable to utilize all of the new 4g towers near my home and on my morning commute. This has resolved that completely. Plus 3g appears significantly more stable. Thank you!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxTeXx07xX:
Im on rooted 4.3 MK5. Can i just flash the MK3 modem and the hotspot?? Thats all i want is to have a hotspot. Is there a working hotspot for MK5 4.3 that works?? Have tried soo many different mods and nothing has got it to work. Please help... Thank you. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
If you wan the MK5 Modem, it is HERE. Flashing the Modem will not give you the Hotspot Mod. They have nothing to do with each other. If you want the Hotspot for 4.3 you can try the one from THIS post by rocket321. I do not know if it will work for you, since you are not on Sprint. Just be sure to make a Nandroid Backup before doing anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxTeXx07xX:
Thanks

I flashed Cnexus 4.3 ROOTED MK3 DEOXED ROM and then flashed the ROCKET321 HOTSPOT and it work with not one problem! :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Good deal :) . Glad your sorted out.

Had this problem getting any phone data(calls/texting) then I dialed ##72786# and it worked. But now I'm not getting no mobile data even though it says 3g/4g. I've been getting this on multiple ROM's but now I'm on the stock barebones ROM for 4.3, what could be the problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Anyone else had perfect 4G service on this modem.... That just stopped working and could only get 3G and nothing higher in the same area?

I walk the same path to work every day and noticed this week I'm only getting 3G anymore. Checked all my phone settings and nothing has changed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Glad you got it sorted out. If it happens again, you might also want to try toggling Airplane mode.

TEAM MiK MikROMs Since 3/13/11
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Nope... really weird... And up until a month ago we did not have 4G in my area. I'm going to guess it was a fluke. I kept updating my PRL and Profile every day. I also reboot my phone once a day (Mainly to keep Pandora in check). But 4G finally came back today.

The only thing that has changed in my area is during the time of my 4G not working and being stuck on 3G... it had been raining. Which I know is weird for the Phoenix area. But I would not think rain could disrupt cell service like that... especially with how flat it is out here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leaderbuilder:
cannot update PRL and Profile

Okay so reflashed MK3 modem.

Cleared cache and dalvik. (before and after re-flash of modem)

and still we cannot update PRL.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Also reset modem using the ##7286#

Toggled Wifi, data and airplane mode on and off a few times and still cannot update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
Have you tried while connected to wifi?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leaderbuilder:
Yep.

Tried with wifi on, wifi off, toggling airplane mode on and off. toggled data on and off. etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
That should be ##72786# If you typed it the way you wrote it, it probably didn't do anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leaderbuilder:
##72786# is actually what we typed - a few times. (sorry for typo)

Does not let us update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WoodenDiamond71:
Just a general question about the modem.

Im currently on cyanogenmod 11 and was thinking about going back to stock but want to flash this modem and update to the 4.3 rom. Lets say i flash this modem with cm11 then flash stock 4.1.2 MD4 and then update to 4.3 MK3, will the modem still be in use? I dont want to brick another s3 because i recently have trying to root 4.3. Also will i be able to root MK3 with root from recovery method via ODIN? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
If you are talking about taking the OTA in order to be on 4.3 MK3, DO NOT. You can get the Stock, Rooted Factory Rom from HERE thanks to CNexus. The Modem will not change as you flash Roms. As for Rooting the 4.3 OTA, I've read both yes, and no.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WoodenDiamond71:
Ok, but what if i decided flash that stock rooted 4.3 rom and then later go back to cm11. Will i be able to do so with no problem?

Ok thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
Why isn't there a thread like this in the development section?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
It's the stock modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
I knew that... doesn't really answer my question though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
The development section is not for stock items.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CaktusJack:
I've already flashed this modem, but is their away to update the modem or no? (Noon question)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
What do you want to update it to? This is the newest Sprint modem. You don't generally see customized modems. But you can flash older Sprint modems, like MD4, LJ7, etc. Some people seem to get better results with an older modem.

But if you're on the MK3 ROM, I recommend sticking with the MK3 modem. MK3 doesn't seem to play nicely with the older modems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
There's stock ROMs and stock modems in the dev section though. There always have been. :lol:

When did the new policy of "no stock anything" kick in?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
In hind sight, I should have posted: IMO...

My apologies.

I'm not aware of any policy changes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
All good. I'll just have to start checking the General section for modems. I was having fits looking for MK3 in the dev section. :lol:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bronxdr:
Question just wondering why would it be necessary to install a modem like this? Is this so the sgs3 can get 4g LTE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
Modem software is part of every phone. Without modem software, your phone won't be able to access the cellular network. This is the modem software that's included with the stock Sprint MK3 (Android 4.3) ROM.

If you're not on MK3 yet, you don't need to install this. Some people think they get faster downloads on 4G with this modem than with earlier versions that came with earlier ROMs (MD4, MA3, LJ7). If you're updating to MK3 by flashing the ROM on a rooted phone, you also need to flash the MK3 modem, as the MK3 ROM doesn't seem to play well with older versions. If you updated to MK3 via the OTA or Kies, you already have this modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ndno:
This modem works great at my house (better reception and speed) but sucks at my work place (worse reception) :(. Since I spend half of my day at work, I had to flash back to my old reliable LJ7 modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
That's just how the modem situation is...

I'm getting a S III for Boost. Will this work for it or is this strictly for Sprint... If not, I can reactivate my Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
This will work for boost but you might have better luck with the MK5 modem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545715
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AGorrila:
Does this work with other carriers that use the Sprint network? I.e. Cricket, Flash Wireless, etc.? Specifically Flash Wireless. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nashchelsy:
Thank you. Will flash it when i get the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Cool. Just as an fyi, you can use all Sprint modems OR boost modems on either phone (Sprint or boost branded) because boost runs on the Sprint network
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
So no reason one can't experiment with different carrier modems (assuming of course they're for the same MODEL phone)...worst that can happen is it just doesn't work (and you just reflash something else), correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No the thing is that boost/virgin/Sprint modems are technically all made for the same carrier, so it's not an issue to your phone when you flash a "boost" modem because it's really just a modified Sprint modem, you follow? Flashing modems that are actually for a

different

carrier is practically guaranteed not to work because 1) it was not created to fit that phone's radio hardware capabilities and 2) chances are that the software loaded on the phone is unable to handle the "foreign" modem and can only handle the modems it "knows"

Now whether it will mess your phone up or not to, for example, flash a Verizon modem, I can't say. I've never tried it myself but I doubt it would work just from speculation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] master4g:
Hey, I flashed this stock rom, and data wasn't working so I updated to the MK3 modem which the OP posted on the the first post. Now data works but when I make a phone call, the other party can barely hear me. I hear them fine, but they cant hear me. I tried changing to another modem, but then data didn't work even if I did prl/ etc updates. Im not sure what I can do. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stealthdave:
Try cleaning the microphone hole. Seriously, I know it may not seem like it's related given the timing, but the same thing happened to my wife's phone. I rooted and rommed it, reset it, and we were just about to start saving for a new phone when came across a page showing how to clean out the mic access hole. Saved us ~$600! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsellmon:
My wife and I both have this Sprint S3, and she gets 4g, but I don't, even after flashing thus modem...any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
Make sure Settings / Connections / More networks / Mobile networks / Network mode is set to CDMA/LTE/EVDO. If it is, try toggling it to the other option, then toggle it back. It will reboot each time you change it.

If that doesn't fix it, and you haven't done this already, try updating PRL and Profile in settings. If that doesn't work, enter ##72786# in the dialer. The phone will be reprovisioned, rebooting a couple of times.

If none of the above works, I'm at a loss.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsellmon:
Didn't work...hasn't worked since I got it back from Samsung last year...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
Sorry, I don't have any other ideas. Maybe take it by a Sprint corporate store with a repair faciliy?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcc23:
Hey I had a quick question. I'm on CM11 4.4.2. I currently have MD4 modem installed. I was wanting to give the MK3 radio a try to see if it will improve the poor signal/call quality. Can I just drop the zip on my sd and run from download mode? Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Flashable zips are for being installed via recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcc23:
Ah okay. Thanks for the reply. So I should have no issues simply following the procedure in my previous post, except in recovery mode?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yup

I mean it's also there in the OP. "Flash with custom recovery"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcc23:
Well, I tried it with the newest CWM 6.0.4.5 It just says installation started, then immediately goes to installation aborted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] futurethat88:
Check your md5

I just flashed it no problem with 6.0.4.5 CWM so redownload and check your MD5 hash.

I am dling a stockish rom to try to reprovisioning / prl to fix the lack of 4G/LTE i've been having.

Thanks to OP for developing, I've been hesitant to try anything for fear of losing data all together but this is bridging the gap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue Penguin:
Data speed more than doubled!

I flashed this and my data speed at work (which is usually very poor) more than doubled!

Old: 0.35 Mb/s up/0.55 Mb/s down and 231 ms ping.

New: 0.89/0.89/105

Still bad, but it is inside a building with poor signal.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarknessWarrior:
Hello, so, I've seen a lot of people complaining about microphone noise but that's not my problem.

The Problem:

Sometimes when people call me they say they can't hear me, or hear me like I'm meters away from the phone, other times it's fine. Tried recording with the camera and with sound recording apps from the play store and they all record the sound perfectly on both mics.

The Debugging

Seeing this seemed to be happen randomly on the calls but I couldn't reproduce it anywhere else I decided to start digging the root of this problem.

I searched the web and got this thread on Google Forums: http://productforums.google.com/d/topic/nexus/JZGA5p-VX1A/discussion where they mention recording with Google Keep, so I did a comparison betwen a recording with ASR (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.asr) and Google Keep, here:

ASR: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13954549/ASRbgnoise.ogg

Keep: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13954549/Keepbgnoise.3gp

As you can see (hear), the problem doesn't seem to be hardware related, as the recording with ASR sounds perfect, even when I recorded with noise cancellation on, off and using the camera mic, with background noise, but I can barely hear the Google Keep recording, it sounds like I'm meters away from the phone.

The problem seems to affect about 1/4th of my calls and with Google Keep it seems that it's always there, atleast on all my recordings, I think it might be a software bug on the noise cancellation, what do you guys think? I think that if it was hardware problem it would happen with all apps?

Any help you guys could give me on how to further debug and/or fix this would be very welcome.
