I thought there wasn't a modem yet?

There's a zip to update to the EK02 modem. You MUST be on the EG30 modem to flash it though.

....meaning if your baseband says EG12 or EG31 then you can't update the modem

Just my 2cents:
I think it would reduce the amount of "What if I'm on EG31" posts if a message was put in the OP saying something like "ONLY EG30, NOT EG31, EG12". Lots of people only read the OP, and it would probably save a lot of headaches if it was made abundantly clear from the beginning. Gotta see it from a non-readers' perspective, "EG31 is an updated EG30 therefore it works".
Otherwise, awesome vid qbking. Your other vids definitely helped me when I first got this phone.

Some of the methods posted in the OP are not only for EG30, you can have the EG31 and EG12 modems for certain videos.

Oh I should've clarified. I mean for flashing just the pulled EK02 modem.
Swype was updated so no more mixing letters like A and I with previous words...haven't noticed a whole lot yet but yes the media hub was also updated as you said.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Damn! They killed the bounce effect. I really like the bounce and I'm not fond of overscroll at all. I guess I'll have to hope for a mod.
Does the updated Swype still have the same theme?

Just updated to stock 2.3.6. Thanks for the info and videos. It really made it easy.
I am currently on stock EG30 and was planning to upgrade to stock EK02. My question is if I can root after I upgrade to EK02, maybe with either of these files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367971
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368180
Or should I just go with the pre rooted EK02? I would like to try the stock out first just to make sure everything runs fine before I go rooted. Thanks in advance!
i was rooted on a stock rom can i not be rooted at all???

Hello,
I have always had an HTC phone and all this EK02 and E4GT stuff makes no sense to me... I am afraid to flash any of the roms because I don't know what EK02 or E4GT i have or if my phone is compatible with that.
I just got my Epic 4g Touch and I rooted using this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EwEYVB_ut4 .
Hopefully I do no get flamed for this because I am a new so please bare with me.
I wanted to use this ROM ([ ROM / 11-19 ] Calkulin's E4GT v1.5a [EG31 l Fast l Tweaked l Battery Saver Script])
But I was wondering what info I need to see if I can flash to this.
My phone is STOCK but rooted.
Here is other info.... *** 2.3.4 / S710.10.S.EG30 / 2.6.35.7-LoStKernel+ / GINGERBREAD.EG30 ***
Thanks in advance.

EK02 is the more recent modem, kernel, and ROM update (Android 2.3.6). Supposedly fixes LoS
EG30 was the official build before EK02.
EG31 is a patch for EG30 in attempt to fix Loss of Signal problems.
Just a heads up, if you flash Cal's ROM, which has an EG31 modem, you can't update your modem to EK02.

Hmmmm.... Weird.... So I don't know what to do damn it lol...
Because if I go to the EK02 modem which is the latest, I am assuming there is barely any roms for it or something?
But if I stay on EG31 with Cal's ROM, then I will be stuck with an older modem....
Blah...
If you flash the EK02 modem you can still take your pick of ROMs just remember that you can't go back to EG30 only EG31 or EG12 but as of now nobody has said EK02 is worse than EG30 or 31.

Oh ok! Awesome!
If someone releases a ICS port for this phone, what modem do you think it will use? Or it can work on any modem?

That's not clear at the moment. There could be another update before ICS is fully ported.

Ah ok. I assume the update for ICS will most likely be something newer than EK02?
If so, can I just download [ ROM ] Stock Rooted EK02 System [ OS 2.3.6 ], and install it through my ClockWork Recovery?
Or do I need to download the modem by itself and install it, then install the [ ROM ] Stock Rooted EK02 System [ OS 2.3.6 ]

So Im looking into this rooting and custom firmware/ROM deal, and came across a couple questions id like answered if possible.
I'm on Telus, in Canada, and my baseband on my GS3 is I747MVLDLK4. Every thread i see about custom roms and rooting refers to a different baseband, and my question is, what baseband ROMs will work with mine? Or is it even safe to flash this phone with a custom ROM at all?
Ive seen different opinions in other threads and everything seems to conflict, so i need a definite answer as I'd love to get into this whole community and start doing awesome things with my S3, but i don't want to go through a period of not being able to use my phone because i flashed the wrong firmware.
THanks

Baseband is the modem package with the phone. There is actually a newer version released. I'm on telus and have flashed almost everything on these boards. If you stay in these threads and it says AT&T you can flash it on our phones

Thanks a ton, I've been reading up on it lots lol hopefully i can get it done tonight! Newer version of the baseband u say? How would i get ahold of that? When i try to update it tells me everything is already up to date
Don't confuse baseband with a operating system update. There isn't a need to update the baseband. It's just if you are having reception issues.

All good and helpful points but I will clarify further just so nothing gets misunderstood.
Baseband = modem. OP needs to flash only Telus modems and not ATT ones. Specifically only use the I747M modems. If you flash the wrong modem you may screw up your device. Tread carefully here.
When KorGuy talks about flashing anything on these boards he is referring to ROMs only. ROMs almost never include a modem in the package so there is no need to worry.
Check out the threads by Tony Stark for good answers.
^ I hope all that makes sense.

I'm still using the stock one. Are the other ones any better? If so, which one are you using? Thx :angel:
I would be interested in knowing if there was a better one then the stock also.
I actually happen to be searching the forum for the modem thread because I lost the modem I used to flash in a crash.
sorry, NOOB here.
Been doing some research here. I want to flash stock i9505 rom to my m919. From my understanding, I just need to flash the rom without the modem? If so, where can I get the file? all the stock i9505 rom files contain the modem. maybe there is a way to get rid of the modem from the file?

The CWM flashable are ok to use, just flash a T-Mobile kernel from T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4-> Android Original Development and you'll be fine. Just don't mess with the i9505's Odin stock .tar.md5's (or ANYTHING from the i9500 section); those are the ones that will contain all the good stuff to screw up our precious little phones.
Also, you must not have done much research as this subject has been covered many numerous times; not trying to be rude, just pointing it out.

actually been reading for a few days..., my conclusion was find a i9505 stock rom w/o modem but I couldn't find any.
I know about the tmobile kernel, I have that. I just couldn't find a stock i9505 rom that will work

None of the CWM flashable stock ROMs there have modems. There are modified/stock, debloated stock, and I think if you dig deep enough, there is just plain ole rooted stock; all w/o modem.
Get the omega rom and flash and flash a kernal from the tmobile so wifi can work *faux123 that im using and it for i9505 but on m919
