EL30 modem...do I need to update kernel and ROM? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running RandomROM el22 (THUNDER HAWK III) with shadow kernel 1.06+. this morning, I just noticed that sprint managed to update my modem to el30. Can and should I update the kernel to a el30 version? RandomROM does not yet have a el30 ROM, so trying to see what pieces
I can upgrade.
Thanks

RandomKing is working on EL30 update to my knowledge. You could wait for him to update the rom or move to the couple of EL30 roms that's in the devs. section; there's EL30 kernels too

Do you think I should upgrade to el30 kernel for now?

There's really no overall benefit right now. You should stay on what you have until some deep reworking of the EL30 kernels are done.

Wow, that's crazy!

You shouldn't mix kernels and ROM versions. If an EI22 ROM should stay on EI22 kernel. Modems are independent of everything and can be mixed.

Thanks all. No idea I had the modem upgraded. Thought that was something I have to do, not something sprint pushes.

Eg30 software mystery

Why isnt there hardly anything for eg30 modems? Lots for el13 and 26. Do any devs have eg30 or what?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
What are you wanting for EG30 that you can't find ?. Most of us have moved on to later revisions anyway.
What r the later versions

EK02 is the latest official sprint release. EL29 is the most recent leaked build.
Not sure you know what you're talking about here...you can have the latest build and still use EG30 modem, or any other modem for that fact.
Btw, the latest leak is EL29.

All ROMs are in Development. The title tells you what firmware they are. All of Epic ROMs are great. Pick one.

His phone will keep telling him to update until he actually runs the update, or at least tries to (it obviously wont work if you are running a custom ROM). Just because his phone is telling him to update, doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I'm going to go ahead and agree with everyone else on here and say CM9 is amazing. The only reason I haven't gotten the EL30 modem and flashed CM9 (I have tried it and its awesome) is because i use the hotspot hack on my other ROM and 4g wifi tethering doesn't work on CM9 yet. Most people don't care about that issue so I'd definitely say forget looking for a EL30 ROM and go straight for CM9.
There are not many roms based on el30 yet, and to be honest, its not that great of an update. Cm9 is now available, but still had some bugs to get worked out. For now I would strongly advise starskyrom mtd v2.0, or marcusant v3. Its all about personal taste, and roms perform differently for every device.

Porting roms to newer modems?

Is there a way to port let's say an ei22 rom to el30 or fc09? Would it have to be like strting all over and a lot of work or could it be as simple as porting a theme but with the xml files and other stuff??

How about "Porting roms to newer builds"
And your answer would be no, rom developers spend a lot of time and effort working their tweaks and mods around samsungs latest attempts at fixing stuff.

would you mind linking me to the shadow kernel? I can't find it in the dev section

If you are talking about the Stock FC09 deodexed ROM, it already has shadowkernel....I used that to root it.

You can use any Modem with any Kernel. You could install it just fine on an EL29 Kernel.

Can't you just flash through CWM? That's what I did when I was testing out modems. I'm on Blazer 4.0 and started with EL29. Tried a whole bunch and ultimately went back to EL29. I tried FC24 and it seemed like I wasn't getting reception a lot of places and a lot of times when I tried to upload pics to Facebook, it would fail. I went home and tested with speedtest.net and I was getting only like 250kb/s down and 20kb/s up. So I sat there for 30 mins testing out modems; flash, update profiles/PRL, ran 3-4 speed tests and then flashed again. FD19 was around 800/75, FD16 was 400/50 and all the results were Evdo-0 and FB27 was 900/50 while EL29 1.2Mb/200.
Ya, you can flash the modems zip in cwm.
