Negatory, use Odin. It's not scary, trust me.
Here's the modem for your convenience. http://k0nane.info/rom/acs-eb13-modem.tar

Once you get used to Odin you'll be friends. Why do you want a .zip?

[Q] No service whatsoever

*Bad english ahead*
The problem is that my phone seems to refuse to get any service at all. The signal icon just shows a big "X" and it is stuck in "Searching for service".
Phone status shows that the Signal strenght is on -79 dBm, so i guess the anthena is working just fine. But below Service Sate it just shows "Out of service".
Im using a EB13 Modem with the SyndicateROM.
In fact, the phone was working just fine with MidnightROM until i flashed the SyndicateROM over.
Already tried reverting it to Stock rom and nothin, any suggestions?
Did you try reflashing (Just) the modem through ODIN?
Let me try...
Does this one should work? (The odin one)

Did you flash your Epic to Telcel? If so, that process might be causing you some problems. After using Odin to get back to stock, install CWM3 then SRF1.0.1, then once you're stable there, try the carrier flash again.

What do you mean by "Flashing my epic to telcel" and that "Carrier flash?" is on Iusacell, since Telcel dont support CDMA.
And one last thing, what is SFR1.0.1?
EDIT:
Im reverting back to DI18 Stock rom with odin to see if i can do something.

Oh okay - the banner under your username says Telcel, so I figured they were it. I thought I'd read they support CDMA but I was mistaken.
SRF1.0.1 is SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1.
On the flash, let me rephrase - did you do anything special to get the Epic to work on Iusacell, or did it work there out of the box?
That's the reason then. You can't change ROMs if you're on a carrier other than Sprint, it will revert your phone back to Sprint.

Nope, the phone was working just fine out of the box. It had signal (Roaming) and all.
I even flashed like 3 roms before Syndicate and it was working just fine. Was just yesterday that i decided to try this ROM out and got the problem.

I'm not entirely sure what to tell you - there's nothing in SRF that should/will/can cause any problems of that sort. Going back to full stock via Odin didn't help?
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700 to return to Stock rom, but i can't get this thing working
Im pretty much lost as well.
EDIT:
Oh god what the... I was just messing around with the phone. Turned on the Flight mode. Made a Factory reset via Privacy setting, Rebooted the phone, turned off the a Flight mode and suddenly had signal again.
I dont know what happened, since i tried the factory reset before with no luck... But well, im glad its working now. Thank you to both of you for the help anyways.
I have a similar problem as the OP, and I'm pretty sure it's ClockworkMod that's causing it.
Seems like every other time I do something in CWM, I get no service and an unknown Baseband and Hardware version in the phone's settings.
So far the only reliable way I've found of fixing it is to Odin all the way back to DI18 and start fresh.
For some reason Odining the modem or EB13 doesn't work (I still get no service).
And I must say, it's incredibly frustrating.
I guess I'll just have to get SRF flashed and never touch CWM again (because doing so almost always breaks my phone).
I'd like to be able to make Nandroid backups though, but unfortunately, doing so breaks the modem (which really doesn't make any sense).

Help the Noob Restore His Wifi

Hello XDA folks... I've got a Sprint Epic 4G touch that I've just started modding and have run into a problem with my wifi- it connects for about a minute, disconnects, and continues this pattern ad nauseum. It started when I flashed a rooted FF18 I found here on the forums and is still present with the Blu Kuban ROM I have now (which near perfect great otherwise). I've poked around the forums and think maybe a new modem would fix it, but I have no idea which one to choose or how to install. Anyone that can get me back on track will earn a free round of drinks... only condition is they must be on Oahu. Thanks n advance for your support.

yes you can improve wifi signal by flashing a new radio/ modem firmware for this find a custom rom for your phone extract radio firmware from archive and flash it by Odin take a look here
also do a nandroid backup before: if you flash a radio firmware that's good for your phone but is locked to a specific network ..now you can restore to previous status

3G/H/H+

Ok so I have a Telus model and this started a few days ago when I flashed an AOKP rom...
So, I don't get LTE in my area and have always had 4G (or whatever they say it is).. Ive flashed many TW roms and ALL the roms have displayed 4g...and for not having lte, ive been very impressed with the speeds.
However, since this AOKP rom I installed (which was awesome, just wanted to go back to TW), it displayed H+...
Now, I know what h/h+ is and all that jazz about the carriers.. My issue is, can't flash any TW rom now without getting 3g/h/h+ toggling back and forth nonstop and the speeds are horrible!!! Can barely download in the store and loading a page takes a while.....and yes, I realize that its supposed to help with battery and whatnot but I don't like it and just want 4G back!!! lol
So far, I can only get 4g back when I unroot and do a hard factory reset...
And even then, it still shows h/H+ until I go through all the system updates.... then, I go to install another TW rom and I'm back with the h/h+ again...
I have tried the att fix, installing latest modem and still no luck.
I even asked to do a factory reset on my fathers phone (we are on the same family plan) and his shows 4g even when installing any TW rom...
Does anyone out there know what I did wrong?? also, my imei number is fine..
Thanks in advance to any advice or help

Yes apn checks out just and on LTE/GSM/WCDMA.
Its weird becase my father has the exact same settings. And again, showing his 4g.
As I type this, im on 3g and when I send, it will turn to h+. Speed is horrible

So it constantly switches between 3g, H, and H+ ? Have you downloaded a network signal app to see what kind of signal you are getting and strong it really is ?
When you say you have done a complete unroot and factory reset, what method are you using ? Is this where to flash an unrooted stock firmware from lets say Sam Mobile and then done a factory reset ? Or are you just doing another type of unroot ? When you root what method are you using ?
You stated you are on a Telus model but flashed an at&t modem ? Are you on AT&T service ?

Getting 5753kbps download and 905kbps upload .
Whereas before my kbps were always around 11-12000kbps for the download speeds.
I always flash back to stock rom using odin and then factory reset.
Oh sorry if I stated that wrong. I tried an att fix as well as flashing the most recent modem for my telus device but both fixes did nothing.
Again tho, ive done this so many times with TW roms and cant figure it out..
Im currently trying to go back to stock and use the most recent CWM to flash and see if that helps

It doesn't seem to make sense that even after going back to stock unrooted 4.0.4 (or what ever it cmae with from the factory) you still have signal problems as the odin packages would flash the correct modem once you install.
Sounds like network issues.
Speeds of ~9000kb are actually pretty standard for actual usage with H+/H/3G. Don't worry about speed too much. And for future reference 4G is H+, its just another name for it. The common misconception is that 4G is LTE which it is not.

Thank you for your reply.. yes I know what it means and its pretty cool. But again, my father and I are on the same plan, with telus with same phones. Going back to stock rom with odin still shows h/h+ when it should show 4g. I kniw they are the same, but the fast dormacy is a pain in the rear. My father and I are currently running the same rom with the same service getting 4g on his and h/h+ on mine

No kidding!! Ive done this a thousand times and have never seen it before..so starting to grt frustrated when told that its normal lol..
So when I get to 4.0.4 its still h/h+, but when I update the first time from samsung, it then shows 4g and my speeds are back to normal. But then as soon as I flash afyer rooting, it gies right back to h/h+ fast dormacy with no way of going back unless i do a hard factory reset again.

Are you sure it is the exact same version that you are running? He didn't update at all, no matter how small the update? If you flash from odin, everything that you did in the past should be overwritten. Go to settings->about phone and tell me what both of your baseband/build versions are

Ok so the baseband is I747MVLDLK4 and build version is 2.4? lol
I will unroot and flash back to 4.0.4 with a factory reset and then update this post.
Really appreciate ur help
Btw.. I downloaded the whole odin/telus stock tar md5 and recovery about a year ago and have been using that for both of our phones. I will update in a coupke of hours
Also, when I flash back to stock and get the 4g back is there a way to save the modem and/or other files needed to bring over to another rom?
Ok so here is the image I took of my phone info..
I would have to put my fathers back to stock to see if there are the same... but Im now on 4.0.4 with h/h+ still present. Im gonna do a hard factory reset to get the 4G back and then see about trying other things.

Yes, this I understand... but with the 4G displaying, I get NO fast dormancy causing download issues and on top of that, my download speeds are 11-12000kbps.. when showing h/h+, Im getting half the speeds and constant toggling from 3g/h/h+ is driving me up the wall!!
again, Ive never seen this on my Telus TW roms..
I will be unrooting and going back to stock with odin...then doing a factory reset..it will still show the h/h+ unless I do 1 of 2 things....either do a hard factory reset using *2767*3855#, or by simply doing a Samsung update...then after one of those, 4G will be back and so will my speeds.

general rule of thumb, touchwiz roms cannot be built from source. The only way to mess with these roms is with winzipping and adding apps (i call it bloatware) to be honest, if you want customization go to AOSP. Every single time I use a touchwiz rom no matter how smooth its says it is, I get crashes, bugs, irreversible issues like you have, loss of connectivity, the list goes on. Thats all because of the limitations of not having source code, I would recommend you drop the touchjizz and find an AOSP rom you like, if not, stock rom is the way to go.

Can anyone confirm that copying this and then injecting it after a flash would work?

That your opinion is somehow fact. That somehow using a TW rom will just give you bugs and ruin your phone, as if a custom rom doesn't have glaring bugs as well. It's quite awesome the amount of customization that the dev's on the touchwiz rom's are able to inject into their rom's. Anyonr who thinks it's just unzipping files and adding apk's is uninformed. Is it on the level of PA or AOKP of course not but with more customization you add the possibility and almost the certainty that you have bugs and instability. We are quite spoiled on the i747 that we have kt and Task developing rock solid custom rom's. Most out there don't have that pleasure. If a TW rom on here is unstable it's because the dev has fallen short some where. I'd say I fall in this category and I am certainly no dev, just a noob cook. Equating TW rom's from 2.2 to the ones we have now is just fallacy. I do agree not having the source code put's dev's on the
In general I have had to deal with more bugs and instability with custom rom's than I have with a stock based rom (stock meaning what came on the phone). Yet that is not a gripe but merely the fact that I don't like to deal with the little things that pop up on custom rom's, and I prefer the aesthetics of TW. Crazy I know as many find it ugly.

[Q] Dirty Unicorn flashed over Stock Rooted, what modem?

[[SPRINT]]
So my dad trashed his E4GT by dunking it in a river. Then dropped it at work cracking the screen. Gave him my old one. Had a hell of a time getting it programmed to his line, but I got it. eventually had to flash the One-Click Stock (JB) odin to fix an issue where he could not connect to WiFi. After that, flashed Dirty Unicorn, and all was good. Or so we thought (we were in range of an Airave). Seemed he no longer had any reception off of the Airave. After much searching it seemed possibly due to the fact that the phone refused to leave WCDMA mode. Long story short, I fixed the issue by starting back on Stock Rooted (JB), getting fresh PRL and Profile after wiping EVERYTHING i could find, and then flashed back to DU. He was totally fine for two weeks. Now all of a sudden he again has no signal off of the Airave. He is in a bad reception area, but when it is working properly he gets enough to call, text, browse a bit, etc. But when it is acting up like this, he cant do anything at all off of Wifi and/or Airave.
TL;DR
Going from stock rooted JB to JB Dirty Unicorn, would that cause modem issues (being that the stock rooted most likely has a JB modem, and you arent supposed to use JB modems on JB Dirty Unicorn)?

ICS modem for DU..pretty much all aosp ROMs ( ICS to jb )..the latest ICS modem is FL24. Flash that modem or another ICS modem on the phone. Then do the temp boot to upgrade prl and profile.. If you're on stock again you can flash the modem and update the prl and profile.. Then flash DU.. Making the move to DU shouldn't have messed up the modem..if you did the above..

No I hadn't flashed an ICS modem. Everything you said the first time was correct. I went straight from JB Stock to DU. Spaced out on the modem because I was in a rush to get everything working. And when it actually did work fine for 2 weeks and now stopped, it threw me off.
I am going to see if tomorrow I can walk him thru the One-click to install FL24

No need for a one-click.. Just have him download an ICS modem from rwilcos repo..( zip format ) and then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then flash the modem.. Next time you have a moment you can do the temp boot to update prl/profile

Also JFYI, yes I know what it will take to update them, just wondering if having not done that yet is what would be causing there to still be a lack of signal

This is where I'm not sure, everybody says to update..but I have went without,but I did notice my signal bouncing around..... But I'm in a very good signal area.. I would say an update can't hurt...FYI...I get the best signal on gb27.. On touchwiz...of course. There are some good tw Roms out lately..too. You could always go back to stock to see if its the rom/modem..Then work back to cm/aosp or tw... This signal stuff is funny to mess with..what works for one might not for the next.. I can't remember what carrier you have but a signal repeater might be a choice..

Sprint. He has gotten signal where he is before in DU (and that was with a JB modem, no less) for two weeks. It was low signal, but it was signal no less. Our only option is to get the phone working normal, a repeater will not do as he has no signal at his house, at his job, or anywhere within approx 60 miles of where he lives. Normally he has low signal, but atm he has zero. I am currently waiting for his download of a Stock Rooted rom to finish so we can flash that (which I know for sure will give him signal) then flash the ICS radio, update PRL and Profile, and then try DU again. If that does not work I will just have to have him stick to the Stock Rooted JB rom, since we know he gets signal on that.

Problems with mobile connection

Ever since I flashed this file on the Sky Note 4.3 thread ive been having lots of issues with my mobile connection. It keeps dropping while im at the house and i'm getting a lot of no service notifications on it .I'm not sure what it could be. I tried flashing a new modem and it still wouldn't work. What should I do. The file I flashed is the file in the directions where it says if you're coming from 4.1.2 to flash with odin. any help would be greatly appreciated.
