[RADIOS] CWM Flashable Modems

Here is just a collection of CWM flashable modems i have tested to be working on the SGS-T989(D)
Get all radios HERE
Mirror'd in this post in the General Section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639771
NOTE: these are the radios i have TESTED this is why i don't have every radio available up here because i have not tested them to be working to some degree. Others are welcome to post and contribute what they have tested working as well.

Thanks you so much for this.You have done so much for this community and I thank you.
From a glaxay better than yours.

Thank you we needed one of these. Hopefully we are able to get the rest up soon

In any way the SGH-T989 Series radio is better than stock ?
Or is it the actual stock radio

Awesome! Thank you so much for this Mr.X.
Tmo VK1 is the latest one to enable wifi calling right?

Very nice thank you, this should really be in the Dev section.... To important to be in General imo.
Also might i suggest MD5 check sums in the OP.

I'm not sure fi wifi calling requires the tmobile modem, so it's really up to you guys to test and report in. What i can tell you is these modems will not damage your device.
they all work for me on telus (with exception of the DoMoCo one, since have no networks it supports here) However using the tmobile and rogers radio cut my HSPA+ speeds down to HSPA as the radios appear not to support dual channeling of HSPA on 850/1900 like telus needs.

for some reason it wont install on CM7 i have tried CWM and ROMmanager, no go on either, its the Tmobile vk1 radio

means if i flash the Telus modem will support HSPA+ 850 ( the one i need in peru) but i get back to USA i have to flash again to the tmo stock modem to get 4G speeds on tmo network?

sorry for the noobish question but what excatly do these radios do? If i have the telus version of the phone, but using it on Wind Mobile, how will flashing this help me?

SWEET, will test and report back.

Diffrent radios might increase reception in some areas, increase download speeds and might improve battery life or they can do the opposite and be detrimental to recepition, download speeds and battery.... Users results may vary. Flash and test for your self.

How sure are we that flashing modems through cwm is 100% safe? I know on a lot of other phones that while it is possible, its said that it is not safe. Correct me if I'm wrong but I just wanna be sure.

on the vibrant all the modems where came flashable and I've done dozens of time with all the modems they had and never had a problem. I was actually wondering why on this phone it wasn't being done. I would say from my experience it is safe

OK. I trust Mr. X but just wanted to hear from other people that have done it. I've personally never flashed a radio through cwm. I usually run what I have or fastboot it if that's an option.

Generally fastboot is the safest method because of the bit check before flashing but I run the G2/ HTC Vision radio thread and as long as the MD5 matches it pretty safe, out of over 10000 downloads of my G2 flashable radio zips I think ive only seen 1 brick but even that one couldnt 100 percent be connected to the flashable zip so in general I thinks its very safe.

if i try it and it doesnt work out for me, how can i remove the radio file that i flashed?

Made a dumb move

ok so I was flashing (experimenting) Skyrocket ROMs for my Hercules. So I was kinda going crazy on the flashing since I was bored so flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560759
BTW it was NOT SKYROCKET ROM, this is ATT GS2 which is completely different than Skyrocket. Skyrocket ROM is compatible with our device, just FYI
Anyways, boom the installation was snap and it rebooted automatically as it said on the OP. Then the phone just went black... wouldn't turn on, nothing. I pulled the battery and inserted nothing.... I was like WTF that I did..... of course it BRICKED!
I was going crazy (well not really lol). Luckily I still have warranty so called T-Mobile and got it replaced, will be here next week.
Well the point is READ READ and READ before you flash anything, I got lucky since I have warranty but not everyone.
Lesson learned in a hard way!

You need to fix this post.. The rom you flashed was not for the SkyRocket but was for the ATT SGS 2 which is totally different phone.. PLEASE PLEASE dont start another Rumor that Skyrocket roms are not safe.. because they are.
Not being mean but if you dont specify then for the next month we will have 100 threads asking about SR roms on the Hercules..
Edit: Not to mention you can trick it into download mode and use odin to fix it.. search for instructions if you want to try.

Kinda ironic of the ROM's title xD

Not sure why you posted this.. there was no question.. this is Exactly what I said. Not a Skyrocket rom so it should have been obvious it wouldn't work.
But unless you follow the link and see its for the ATT SGS 2, the OP leads you to believe he bricked flashing a Skyrocket Rom and that's misleading and should be corrected to reflect that.

All skyrocket roms are fully compatible with our phones?

I guess the moral of this story is if you are gonna flash an AT&T rom on the hercules you have to make sure you are getting it from the (skyrocket) forum..
If your are not paying attention it would be easy to overlook that it little but very important detail
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth

Couldn't you just restore back to stock with ODIN...Samsung phones are pretty unbrickable in that regard

There is almost always a way out with ODIN. It takes a lot for your phone to not respond to ADB

no, I flashed the wrong modem which was included in the ROM. It's hard bricked

Unless the partition was overwritten that contains DL mode then it will ALWAYS work.. .
Also did you try ..
1. remove battery.
2. plug in phone to usb on computer with battery STILL OUT
3. while plugged in hold down volume up and down.
4. Still plugged in and still holding the volume up and down, insert your battery.
5. boom choose continue and find download mode
Usually foolproof.

[Q]How to flash other S3 ROMs to the Tmobile S3

Hello, I was curious if you can flash ROMs from the S3's from other carriers besides T-Mobile and also flash ROMs from the international forums. I remeber back when i had my Vibrant all you would have to do is flash the correct boot.img and also replace the keylayout file. Is it as simple as flashing a tmobile boot.img since the keys are all the same? Thank you in advance.

don't do it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

There is a possibility of sharing ROMs with the AT&T model. If you go check out their forum, there are a couple of ROMs which people have successfully flashed on the T-Mobile model. Search the threads and flash at your own risk!

That is totally true. On the Hercules you could flash the skyrocket roms. But the T-Mobile ones are usually better. The att ones are really only better when att leaks first.
Don't do it was an oversimplification, however.
Just heard about too many people flashing the international roms.

Nope, the hardware internally is too different. I doubt there'll be an easy method to port the ROMs either.
The AT&T ROMs on the other hand should be fairly easy to port and I think there is a group working towards this goal.

You will lose your insurance.
Just to let you know, you will lose your phone's insurance, this is not the same as the 90 day warranty. I remember I had flashed my vibrant to a rom using the international model, about six months later I got a letter in the mail saying assurion would no longer insure my phone, because it wasn't the right model. I might have been able to add the text file that adds the correct model number, but I don't know if that really works or how to I it.

In this case they could have seen the flashing being done and the changing of the build.prop file. That would make the most sense to me.

You obviously haven't been reading...heck go for it.
You CAN NOT do other roms, as was stated, the hardware is different.

Not that hard to search. Do it and report back with results.

Risky is an i9300 rom because the SoC is 100% different. We all have the same SoC so it's not as big of a deal.

Ok I figured it out but I cant get the att apn to stick does the phone have to be unlocked?

Ya cspire specs seem to be "meh" everywhere. Like no site saw it coming or something. That being said i havent gotten any comfirmation on the 4g in the other threads. I would assume yes based on what i saw going thru the cspire stock rom. There's actually a few spots where sprint is referenced in the stock rom. And if you restore the cspire nandroid to a sprint phone **** works beautifully. So between that and the lack of complaints, i would say it seems like chances are pretty good

Port paranoidkang droid to tmobile

I am wondering how the policy works with porting an at&t ROM to T-Mobile as I am currently running this ROM which is a combo of AOpk and Pa but its by far the smoothest rom I have flashed and much more options than PA plus the video volume is loud as hell so since I am new to the xda community I want to know what are the rules of porting this bad a$$ ROM so that all T-Mobile users can use this as a dd do I need permission from thebz1 or I could just post it for you guys I have it all ready but don't want to anything against the policy please fill me in guys

What did the original dev say? That is probably the most important thing.

is it not flashable to our phone? I've used some at&t roms on my t999 with no issues that weren't already expected. (WiFi calling and other T-Mobile things)

thebz1 was working on tmo Pa THREAD a couple month ago until he decided that he would only take care of at&t only that is why OG came in and started getting PA again but after flashing PA and PK i could tell you that PK is much more stable than PA, its much much smoother, the video volume is really loud, you ger rom control and paranoid android settings together in one so much more customization. i guess since it is an open source i feel that i should port it over , i was respectful by asking him so he doesn't own PK anyhow im going to be working on this over the weekend

Obviously both of you haven't tried the AT&T ROM on a T999 because it won't even flash in recovery, much less boot up. I know this because I've tried it in multiple stages of development. He was asking about porting another persons work, and XDA's policy. Yes, most AT&T ROMS work on t-mo too (as long as it doesn't contain AT&T modem), but lets not be redundant & state what most people in this forum already know. Thanks for the port bro. It's running like butter!

I'm sorry, maybe I've missed something...If I have, forgive me,
But, the original Dev did not give you permission to port his work over. Have you considered that he may have a reason for it? Perhaps he plans to support multiple devices with it, like many other devs do with their Roms.
That is just a guess, but if something like that were the case, depending on how popular the dev is, and how P.O.'d he gets, you could be making a lot of enemies on here....
Something like this, if you want it that bad, go ahead and port it. But do it for yourself, do not release it.
If you were planning on releasing it regardless of his answer, then you should never have asked.
Sorry man, just trying to help.....
