modem relation to ROM? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'd like to be sure.
You can only use a ROM that was made for your modem, as in EC05 or EG22 or any of the others, correct?

You can use any modem for any Rom from my understanding
Ex. I used to use ee03 modem for a ef02 Rom for better battery life

[ROM][EF02][Compkid23] **URBAN INCEPTION 1.1 07/01/11*RELEASED*
Here's an example of a ROM post....what does the EF02 mean?

Ef02 is the build number for epic firmwares
Ef02(gingerbread v2.3.3)
Ec05(froyo v2.2)
The newest firmware is EG22, which is gingerbread v2.3.4
The rom example you just posted is a gingerbread rom

So your firmware determines what ROM can be installed?
Here's mine....I think

No. The rom determines what firmware is installed.

You can say that, the Rom is built/based on whatever firmware it uses

If I'm not mistaken the 2.1 modems aren't to be used with 2.2 and 2.3 builds. For Froyo and Gingerbread DK28 and anything that starts with an E is safe to use.

Rooted stock rom

I am looking for a rooted 2.2 stock rom. I am trying to do the PRI update but am having no luck. Some are suggesting that my rom is not allowing me to do the update. I am running DC 3.5 rom and netarchy 3.04 kernel. Any suggestions?

The new Wimax update.

I'm on sacs Rom currently so I'm not sure but does anyone know if the Wimax update on calks thread is necessary. I also switch between calks and sacs hd roms so if the update is necessary, is it also necessary for calks roms?

If you mean the newest radio then yes....probably a good idea to always have the latest radio.

radio's are ROM independent so if possible and they work for you (not a promise newer radios will work better for your device) upgrade them as they are available

[Q] Are themes really modem-specific?

Are themes really modem-specific? i.e. can i flash a EC05 theme (a theme with [EC05] in the title...) to my EH06 modem/ROM without issue?
Well, not a rom. Like you can't flash an EC05 theme on an EH06 rom. But, I don't think it matters what modem you are on.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
Im pretty sure its only based on whether you are on a froyo or gb rom as zander said. Modem itself wont matter. But if theme says eh, ef, or eg its referring to a gb based rom. All those themes should (not 100% but) be interchangable as they are all gb based. If its an ec theme its froyo based and will not work on a gb based rom. So its not the modem but the software version that matters.

ee and ef themes will not work properly on eg or eh builds or vice vera. Eg and eh should be interchangable wth eachother.

Be sure you are understanding the difference between Modem and ROM. I am running RandomRom 2.2.1 Plus, which is an EC05 Based ROM, however I am running the EH06 modem (which was odined after I flashed the ROM). In my scenario, I can use any EC05 (Froyo) based theme. Hope that helps

How
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
There is instructions on the development section. I'd link you but I'm on my epic, away from a computer.... you are going to have to search the threads for upgrading to ei22 from a rooted froyo rom, its easy though.

Why bother with the OTA? It breaks recovery. Just flash an EI22 ROM. Flash the EC05 to EI22 modem delta if you want that.
Do you have a stock one you recommend? I am looking for as close to what sprint has released as I can. I found the modem, just need the rest of gingerbread now.

Clean GB would be basic. I think the links are still up for the ACS deodexed ROM stock from the OTA. It basically had the GPS fix in it. I am on Legendary 4.01 and it is awesome.

Kinda want to stick with touchwiz (yes I know I am a gluton for punishment). So if I want 2.3 I get this feeling I am going to have to learn this ROM world. Yay...

If you mean you can flash a GB ROM from EC05 then yes or if you mean the EC05 modem works on GB ROMs then also yes. There is a EC05toEI22 modem delta flashable in the Development forum stickies.
Found what I needed from kennyglass 123
One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=deodexed+EI22
Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=root+OTA+EI22
I got gingerbread loaded I will look into the modem and the gps fixs later.
Thanks guys for your help!

Radio options??!???

I'm coming from cm10 and I'm going to flash zedomaxs high on android rom and I read I needed a stock modem to go along with it since it's basically a stock rom and there's so many which do I chose since coming from cm10??? Any help appreciated

Actually its not the modem. Those should work with any of the roms here. You are thinking of the kernel I believe. Theres only a few to choose from and it boils down to preference.
If you are going to the UVALH2 update or later, you will need a purely stock kernel. Custom ones aren't working yet.
