Hey guys and gals-
Just thought I'd share with you something I'm really excited about. I've been flashing pretty much everything that has come out over recent weeks, and even months. I just was on CM9 build 3.1, which was incredible, but unfinished. I thought it could be my daily, but it started to go into airplane mode and lose mobile data randomly, so I had to restore. After doing so, I feel the need to share with you a setup that I am blown away by. It is:
Gingerbread (Android 2.3.6)
FB 21 Modem (Steady's newest release)
EL29 Kernel (I know some might be upset it's not the newest available, but go with me here)
Everything is just SO ridiculously snappy, I can't believe what I have been missing. Since the "about phone" only has Gingerbread.EL29 in it and not the rom's developer, I can't be certain about the specific ROM I used but I'm fairly certain it's Blazer.
Anyway, enough of the rant. I suggest those who need a break from flashing all the newest things give this combo a try and let me know if you have a similarly enjoyable experience!
Out of curiosity, how long have you been on this setup?
Surely one of the [email protected] here will chime and tell you of a better way to be certain who's kernel you're using? I could be wrong...
Ill check it out now. If nothing else it will take my mind off the fact that I'm jones'n so hard for CM9 Alpha 4, so why not.
Any particular flash order? ...flash this combo all in one CWM session, or reboot in-between? ...etc. Any additional details you can provide would be helpful. I'm bored atm anyway.
Thanks for the info.

Just about six hours now with about 1.5 hours total of voice calling and consistent texts. Hasn't slowed down, but if there are any major (out of the ordinary) changes I'll be sure to report.
Just had to comment cause I saw Tucson

Unfortunately like I said, this was a restore which ended up keeping my FB21 Modem with EL29 Kernel. So I don't know the recommended way to flash, but if I were to do it on my own I would probably say format all, blazer EL29 ROM (with kernel), and then this morning is when I actually ODIN'd the FB21 modem, so probably boot up, turn off, enter ODIN download mode, and do that last.

Ha, awesome. I'm originally from Boston but I'm here for work, I don't mind the weather lately but it's definitely not true winter.
I can confirm my blazer 4.0 setup on stock EL29 kernel with FB21 modem is insanely fast, super long battery and no problems. I highly recommend it!

Well, it's at least a step towards a consensus. Promising.... Hope you become a hero bro, lol. Seriously though, I'd *so* love it if you're right. win/win for everyone.
I ran this for a few days before going to the FB21 Leaked ICS ROM from Calk. It is very nice.
I ran the fb 21 modem and everything was really awesome. except gps. gps sucked miserably. when I was using fb 15 it worked fine so I have since gone back to it.

Another good sign. I think I need to stop typing and start flashing.
So to be clear FB modems work fine with Gingerbread ROMs? No issues flashing? I was kinda on the fence about it. Im waiting for a stable ICS ROM.
Nevermind flashed it anyway on Blend 2.6.2 ROM. No problems.
Edit, weird LOS issues moved back to EL29.

In that case, your sig needs updating. Lol j/k. Were you using FB21 in combination with Blazer 4.0 and EL29, like the OP? Just curious...
Yes, no issues. A great improvement, actually.
For reference, here is a screenshot of my home screen. Note the status bar....can't recall exactly which ROM this is from but it's pretty distinguishable. My favorite thus far.

I've put together a simple fix for the GPS not working after the phone goes to sleep in EL* based ROMs. Just flash the attached ZIP in CWM and it will replace the following files with the ones from EK02:
/system/bin/gpsd
/system/lib/hw/gps.s5pc210.so
So far, this seems to fix the issue based on testing by myself and others. Network Location seems to be borked as well, but there is a separate fix for that in this thread from odub303.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WILL NOT MAKE YOUR GPS WORK BETTER OR LOCK FASTER.
If you had issues with your GPS in EK02 as well, this won't fix it. This is just to fix GPS dying when the phone goes to sleep. (Example: you go to work and Google Maps still shows you at home and GPS Status/Test shows no satellites available.)
Sorry for all the red but if there's one thing I've learned around here, it's that people don't like to read.
I'll be the first guinea pig...I have been having problems since I have jumped back and forth between AOSP and TW roms.
thanx op, shame people dl fix 31 times and you get 2 "thanx"
I've been having gps problems too, jumping from miui back to tw
I'm on a EL29 rom, but EK02 modem, will this fix work for me, or is it only for EL29 modem?
I think I jumped the gun saying it worked in the blazer thread, I still have to force close maps when I go from home to work. And my beautiful widgets widget doesn't update unless I reboot. Is this just with the EL ROMS? I will say with this fix it does seem better but I don't think it is completely fixed. But thx op for working on this.
op if i may post a fix for getting fast gps sat locks i use this and get instant locks on any rom/kernel/modem, hope it helps someone.

It should, this is a ROM issue and not a modem issue. It may not fix the problem you're having but it shouldn't hurt to try either!

Yeah, just EL ROMs. The Beautiful Widgets issue is because of Network Location. You might want to also try the fix for that, there's a link in the OP. I could also throw together a ZIP with both fixes in it pretty easily.

I absolutely LOVE everything about this phone EXCEPT the LOS issues!!
I've only had it for 5 days now and experienced 3 LOS!
Since I'm still within 14 days, should I return it? thinking of getting the Photon instead.
From personal experience I'd say hang on to it and try flashing some of the newer releases to see if it doesn't improve the LOS issue.

I know you are asking because apparently you need the help of others to make up your mind... (sorry I am a smartass) But quick question what rom are you on cuz buddy LOS is a thing of the past up in herrrre... And that PHoton are you serious would you trade in your S clase Benz for a C Class Benz....
Root that sucka and flashing one of the stock EL29 roms or do the upgrage on your phone for the complete stock version... Oh yea and if you gonna ask where the roms are then maybe you should return your phone...LOL (smartass again)
exactly, flash something different (I'd recommend calks) and that issue goes away :O
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Doesn't even need to flash roms, root, and all that. Just OTA to EL29 and it should get rid of the issue.
Hey playya like the benz analogy, I was thinkin the same thing about the photon swap.
Yea update your phone dawg LoS was fixed officially in december
If you have Los on EK02+ get a replacement

I think almost everyone on this forum experienced frequent LOS until Sprint issued a firmware update that fixed it. I haven't experienced LOS since and it would happen to me several times a day. Update your firmware and you should see this go away. (my recommendation is to go with Calk's non-ICS firmware since it's probably the most stable at the moment)

Sounds like you need to get your phone replaced. The loss of service was fixed with ek02. el29 was the update after ek02 and it's the most recent update. You shouldn't be having any problems.
And you're flat out insane if you step down to a photon.

I'd definitely suggest Call's E4GT rom its one of the better ones out there, i havent had any issues with LoS but i did just get my phone in december. But for sure keep this phone !
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yea, I would try flashing Calk's EL29. It should solve the LOS issues while improving the phone in mutliple other areas as well.
If that doesn't work, just take ot back to Sprint and replace it with another one. I would highly recommend staying with this phone though, not the Photon.

I was initially going to flash to Calks ROM anyway but this phone was pretty awesome out of the box until the LOS issue.

Exactly my thought... OP, as you are on EL29 you should not be experiencing LOS. Are you sure what you are experiencing is actually LOS, and not just poor Sprint service?
I'm not an expert flasher but the devs here have made it so simple I've been able to play around with several of the ICS releases but I always return to sfhub's stock-rooted EL29 and get amazing performance out of it.

Damn it. I always forget that part. And yes it is a change from FI25 to FI27. I fixed the OP. Thanks!
I'm running Re-Calked 0.2.1 FI25. Last night I flashed Agat's 0.6.0. No problems at that point. Early this morning I flashed the FI27 modem.
Checked my phone later and had the dreaded LOS. Flashed back to the FI25 modem and all is well. I'm going to need my phone for awhile so I'll have to stay on 25 until I can get some free time to try again. I've only seen this on my phone a couple of times, and the last time was probably last December.
Anyone else seeing this? I'm in a good signal area, and my wife's phone had a strong signal at the time.
Hopefully this is an isolated case.

I had this problem for a while now. The only thing that fixed this was freezing the Sprint ID process using a free app freezing app like App Quarantine. After freezing the app, my phone behaved wonderfully.
hi all,
I didnt find any threads that answered my question well, so if its a repeat my apologies. I am running Blu Kuban 1.0.5.4, it runs nice and smooth, i love everything about it, but i dont know JACK about modems in this sense. In about phone it says my modem is FF18, which seems right from everything i HAVE read lol, but then the BK build # say FL24.
i have read that GB and ICS modems are interchangeable, but i have no knowledge of where to start or IF i should bother messing with it. i know i have to travel to downtown orlando to catch a 4g signal, and 3g kinda sux and i get almost nothing inside my apt, and wifi is alot lower than i expected given i run a full dual-band DDWRT gigabit cat6 network.
so the crux of the question is the modem in the build number what it seems like? are the 2 conflicting or am i just misunderstanding al together lol and more, is there a better setup i can use, i know that tends to be phone specific but it seems like in general some prove to work well together and some dont.
thanks in advance for any/all help

FF18 is fine to run in BK FL24. Both are ICS. However, modems vary from phone to phone, location to location. I would try updating your modem to FL24, and after you reboot, update prl and profile, and see if that improves signal. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But the short answer is no, the build is not conflicting with your modem, it's most likely the area you are in. Play around with other modems, see if it helps! Good luck

ok so i tried that...wifi speeds jumped up by like 5 mb/s on the download side but i lost all 3g/4g capabilities...hmm, i used the kuban updater to d/l ffl24, and it all went smoothly, is it possible i missed a step in the process, i have read that some people need to re enter msl or things like that my cell # is right but the msid looks like someone elses phone # and prl is 21097... so im not sure if thats right or not lol

Hmmm, sounds like you may have flashed a bad modem. Flash back, see what happens, then try another ff, fi, fk build

thanks, i tried a couple of different modems from the series' you suggested and none help, and most actually caused reboots and lockups, so im back at the FF18 and im gonna call it a failed experiment...im almost always on the wifi anyway but, it was worth a try

What method are you using to flash? Flashing modem shouldn't be causing all that

great inglihd
for the first one the FL24 i used the internal updater built into BK, but after that i switched to mobile odin bc i was afraid it was an updater issue...though my battery was a tad low but it was on the charger, and a straight wall charger too not a usb to my pc charger. ah well im not sweating it, like i said im mostly home anyway so having a kick ass rom thats rock solid is more important anyway lol
Not sure if you know but mobile Odin does not support the flashing of modems for the epic touch. It may look like it flashes but nothing happens. Either desktop Odin or recovery is the only way to flash a modem.

wow..no i didnt know that, some of the other boards hinted at it working through mobile odin and some said nothing at all, a friend however said it could so i took his advice...its possible he had the same thing where it looked like it flashed but didnt...it would explain the probs i had with the other modems lol

Read RWilco's comment in tutorial for flashing TAR and TAR.MD5 files, and it is a blanket statement regarding modems and Mobile Odin/Mobile Odin Pro (don't do it).

I don't believe this applies to GB and ICS modems. Let me check SXTP for confirmation.

I don't chance it flashing any modems. Everything else, sure. Modems, I use CWM exclusively.

with that in mind i will try using only cwm, and see if that makes a difference...thanks all for the help and the quick responses you guys all rock! im not a complete noob with flashing and such, but im not a pro either, i spent alot of time in IT and helpdesk, but now im back in school for programming, still only kinda towards the end of what would probably still be considered an apprentice level code monkey and while i some experience with linux/unix, in that realm i WOULD call myself a noob lol
ok so...i guess i have one more question, im running Blu Kuban, which uses a modified AGAT recovery...is it ok to flash a modem from that or should i just stick with desktop odin?

It's ok to flash from that. If it doesn't take, then try pc Odin. But like I said, I use CWM exclusively for modems.

Thank you for keeping us posted on your progress. Sprint/Boost/Virgin Mobile should just link to this forum in their communities for all tech support issues. It's faster, better info, and way friendlier. And wow it beats the heck out of going into their stores. I remember when Garwynn would post in the Sprint forum for the E4GT, and his input was far better than the Sprint monitors.
