AFAIK, nobody knows what kind of impact those partitions have on the modem. If i had to bet, i would pick the RPM.

I know for sure that the official ColorOS flashes a lot of partitions (among them...bootloader+reserve4+rpm+sbl1+modem+oppostanvbk), so there must be a reason to do so.

I'm used to check everything i write but, in this case, i just reported what i read in the modem thread. I may run a few test tho.

Frankly speaking, everyone is free to do whatever they like with their OPO but i think that playing with modems is just a waste of time. I'm going to briefly explain why...

Some months ago, when ppl began claiming that the whatsoever modem was better then the stock one, i made some tests which i summarized here --> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55147294&postcount=31

I could not see much differences and the 33R modem was as good as the find7 modem...indeed both the chinese guys running the chinese ColorOS version and the find 7 users running the ColorOS international version were used to flash it! :laugh:

You know, ppl think the grass is always greener on the other side...

To sum it up, i can see no reason to flash older modems. Nowadays, the latest fashion is all about the new ColorOS modem http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56986687&postcount=362

As i wrote before, it's a total waste of time IMHO...unless someone shows me some quantitative test...but ppl are way too lazy to make a real comparative test (and i'm not interested in doing that myself). Let's face it, before i pointed out that an HASH comparison among the modem was needed, there were guys yelling It's a miracle! after flashing the very same modem they've been using until then :laugh:

I wanna be frank with you.

I'm an old fart who's been in love with the command line for the last 30 years. I have to be in control of everything i do, that's why i usually don't like frontends. I make batch files, edify scripts and bash files for whatever i need.

I came here because a guy (in the italian forum) wrote a post about this new Toolkit...and i was afraid to see ppl soft-bricking their OPO again because of that script. So i downloaded your toolkit and played with it for 20 minutes before uninstalling it.

That said...i'm so experienced that i can tell a good piece of software from an average/bad one almost immediately. Indeed, it took me 60 seconds to verify if you were using that script (that's the main reason that pushed me to installing your toolkit) but i was so struck by your work that i couldn't uninstall it before checking about everything. Actually, i could even tell everybody that the guy behind such a professional-like project is an excellent coder just by looking at the folders tree!

That's really tells a lot itself about your approach to coding! And you just confirmed my impression by what you wrote in the quote.

Usually, i urge newbies to learn how to use ADB and fastboot in the hard way because knowing what to their are doing is safer...but, for the first time ever, i've been suggesting your toolkit :good:

I know how hard is to lay down an utility that must be flexible enough to satisfy both the average needs and the advanced ones while having simple but effective and stable routines which won't get obsolete after any update.

That's why i'm here and i gave you some minor tips about our OPO. I think you're doing a great job and I'm willing to help you...just ask me whatever you need (i'm going to install the toolkit again!).
