Hey guys!
This is my first post on XDA, though I've been creeping on these forums for years rooting my Orginal Gangster G1 and my Epic 4g. I recently just got the E4GT and I love it.
Obviously the first thing I did after charging it up was start getting it rooted and etc. So started on stock EL29, and with using all of QBking77's great videos, I rooted it with One-Click Root, got recovery on it, then did the whole process of getting CM9 Alpha 2 on my phone. Everything went perfectly and its running smoothly!
But now the question is how can I change my modem? I'm assuming EL29 is from Gingerbread and the F*xx's are ICS (if not just the latest F's?). But regardless of what they there, is it possible to change my modem WITHOUT going back to stock with the One Click root/restore, and then flashing a new modem, and then going through the whole process of installing CM9 again?
If there isn't, could someone please tell me what the most effective and safe way is to change my modem on CM9 is? And what is the general consensus on which modem is the best running with CM9. FC24, FD05, etc?
Thanks for the help in advance! It feels good to finally post!
If you really wanted to you could start fresh and install the modem along with CM9 again.
But most people will tell you to ODIN an EL26+CWM kernel and boot to recovery when it reboots, flash the modem, and then flash the kernel that comes with CM9. Its an easy process.
If I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me
EDIT: Modems really are hit and miss for me. I suggest just taking a couple days and testing them out to see which one works best for you.
Just to make sure I have this right:
1. Odin the EL26+CWM kernal, just like I did to flash CM9.
2. Boot in to recovery, after Odin is finished.
3. Flash the modem through recovery. From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352310
4. Then flash the CM9 kernel.
5. And we are good to go?
Question is by flashing the CM9 Kernel do you just mean flashing the Rom zip (cm-update-9 blah blah), or is there a separate kernel file.
That's all correct except for the fact that there should be a separate kernel that you can flash for CM9. I'm not sure about all that so you might want to ask around about that. Just make sure you don't flash a TouchWiz kernel, as CM9 requires an AOSP one.
EDIT: Just looked at the link and make sure that the modem you flash is in CWM .zip format. You don't use tars in CWM.
You can also get mobile Odin from the play store and flash a modem (.tar file, can be found on Calk's ICS 1.4 thread) through that.

That's the method I use. Most people don't want to pay for the app. 100% worth it though.
Another easy method
A free method is to download Odin to your PC, put the .tar file into the Phone slot, hook up your phone in download mode and flash it from there, easy as pie.
Edit: Don't forget to leave only automatic reboot checked in Odin.

This.
Its late here and I wasn't thinking straight. My method had so many extra steps it wasn't funny. I can officially say my badddd.
The extra steps are worth the experience

So I can just flash the modem through odin? Awesome. Do they have the .tar's for all the modems? Or just some of them? And what's the risk of flashing it from Odin compared to method of doing a completely clean install with a different modem?

Clearing up a couple things:
1) Last I checked you cannot flash modems from Mobile ODIN on this phone. I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, such as Epix4G...
2) Calk's ROM threads usually contain a list of all modem TAR files so that they can be upgraded.
3) Modems need to be flashed through ODIN as far as I understood. But whether or not you should revert to EL26 before flashing? I can give the CW advice of going back to EL26 (better safe than sorry IMO), but hopefully a person experienced with CM9 can give you better advice on this.
I'm running CM9 A2, and I've been keeping up with the latest modems using Odin. The beauty of it is that it is almost completely risk-free, no need to revert to EL26. Calks E4GT ICS thread has all the modem .tar files in the OP, flash away.
No offense meant, but we are talking about modems, not kernels, right?
Thanks to Calkulin for use of the install script. Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU.
I apologize to the early adopters that ran into the boot issue. Thanks to drothenberger for pointing out the bootloader problem. And thanks to the brave people who tested the new version.
Flash this to get Deodexed/Odexed stock UCALH9 with latest root (SuperSU), su binary and Busybox 1.20. These include aboot, sbl2, sbl3, rpm and tz. The zips Do Not include a kernel, recovery or modem.
There is a version for no data wipe and data wipe. Make sure you don't get them mixed up. The data wipe options do not delete the media folder which is were /sdcard is mapped for pictures, music etc...
All of the zips wipe cache and dalvik for you so no need to do that separately.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.

I am assuming that kernel is a JB kernel. If it is then you will want to replace it with a TW ICS kernel. If it is a TW ICS kernel then you are good to go.

I have the same problem! I was on a LH1 Rom. Using Deodexed no wipe.
Sory for Noobish questions. Is this a NO WIPE ONLY?? Meaning I NEED to be on previous stock to dirty flash it over or actually use the ATT software update app? Its actually this stock stuff I have probs with. Custom roms.. No prob. Info always appreciated.
Hmm worked for me but I will pull it until I can do futher testing.
Has anyone gotten this to work?

I made a similar zip in my thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31802808) in the general category and somewhere there tried to come from LH1 and had the same problem. That person did not flash the LH9 bootloader. To test, I flashed the full LH1 one click, then installed all the LH9 zips (bootloader, kernel, modem, and ROM) and it worked fine for me.
You might want to try flashing the LH9 bootloader.

No, UCALH9 is a small update to the last ICS release. We don't have any official AT&T Jellybean love yet.

Right. And I broke my screen this morning so I am having some horrible luck. I am uploading a new version and would like someone to test it for me. If you are willling please test it and let me know the results. It is best if you are on full LG1 as we know that was a problem area. I will put a link here once it is done uploading.

Kernel/Recovery, Modem, ROM in my opinion. You can do the first one in Mobile Odin Free to avoid any issues - one of Agat's repacks (any up to FI27 will do) - then just get a ROM & Modem.
If you're willing to pay for Mobile Odin Pro it can do a one click minus the modem. That can be done easily afterwards by doing Agat's repack in Mobile Odin and then flashing the modem.
If you're going back to ICS I recommend going back to FI27 though.
I have a wind t889v, I am stuck on stock after taking a 4.3 OTA update, i rooted and flashed the 4.1.1 modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061031 so that i could unlock my phone, but now I am stuck with this old modem since there is no link there for the 4.3 version.

all roms are flashable while on the 4.3 bootloader. you will need to install a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc). here is a link to the modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554226 you can flash this in said recovery

Oh alright, I suppose I can give it a shot. But I have been told its not possible to flash anything other than stock factory 4.3, for example here:
Baenwort said:
If your phone has factory 4.3 you can not downgrade to a lower version as the KNOX functionality that is built into the 4.3 bootloader will prevent the flashing of a prior version.
You can still root with stock factory 4.3 but you'll need to either trip the KNOX counter or use one of the more involved methods. Is there a reason you are trying to flash such an early version?

what that is referring to is the bootloader. which currently can not be downgraded. install a custom recovery and you can flash rom zips not images. most roms do not have a bootloader in the zip so there will be no conflict

N7105, i317, and SGH-T889 ROMs are usually OK. Don't flash another device's modem. There is a whole mess of ROM options out there.
Make certain your APN is correct in other carrier designated ROMs. Don't flash recovery from automated recovery installers as they will not put the correct version in unless you are on a ROM with the correct build prop settings for the SGH-T889 (if your using a Tmo US device).

So I flashed DN3, it was for n7105, its an AROMA installer. I jsut realized that thats what you meant when you said dont flash automated installers. It required that i flash an n7105 modem to complete the installation. Can i fix my build.prop after? How do i flash this rom without using AROMA? aaah

I was more referring to ROM Manager and Goo Manager. ROMs that flash modems are atypical. Usually they leave you with a choice to install one of a couple choices or leave it as is. Sometimes they don't.
You may be able to find the 4.3 modem appropriate to your device around here somewhere. That will work much better than the 4.1.1 if you can get it to stick.

You could mobile Odin the stock image from sammobile or the root66 to flash everything but the bootloader. Kies recovery could maybe work. T889V is stubborn with modems IIRC. Teshx had problems with this very problem quite sometime ago IIRC.
This fits in my "this is a problem" category, backup and save your data.

yeah i did some wiping in recovery and managed to soft brick my phone, then using pc odin to flahs a stock image got my phone back to life and showed signal bars again, then i flashed the custom recovery back on. so at least i know i can save my modem when i do this again. i then tried replacing the modem.bin files in the dn3 istall zip with t889v modem.bin files, tried reflashing it with the new modem.bins but it still gives me the no network symbol instead of signal bars.

Your modem is probably lost or corrupt. You may try downloading the modem from the link below and flashing via (custom) recovery.

Why don't you try a full (stock) firmware restore then? If you have MJ2 , you can upgrade to full stock 4.3JB. I also learnt from a very reliable source that you can Odin safely to 4.1.1 from the (modified) MJ2 as long as you don't have the MJB bootloader.

That's a bit of my question, I'm, not sure what firmware I'm on currently, how can I check?
OR which one is the newest, I can flash from anything to the newest one correct?
I'm ready to do that, but worried on what bootloader I have, and which to flash to safely.
I've seen a lot of old guides, dead guides, 404 DL links, etc :/.
I just don't want to flash anything incorrect in my attempts to repair it, and brick it. :silly:
Boot into download mode and tell us what it says on the screen. This information will determine whether you have a stock 4.3 bootloader on your phone.

No bootloader info on there?
That's all it says on download mode.
It looks like you are running the stock 4.3 AT&T bootloader. I based this conclusion of the fact that your warranty counter has been changed to 1 from 0.
I suggest installing the latest version of Philz TOuch via Odin and flash a custom Kit Kat ROM. Try that and see if the modem works.
BTW, you should use the mjb modem as other modems probably won't work.

I've tried flashing a few different ROMs and Modems w/o any luck, I'll try specifically an MJB modem and see what's up.
Mind linking to a thread w/ more info about Philz Touch for att i747? What exatly is this?
Edit:
Seems like Philz Touch is a custom recovery? Why install this when I have latest TWP already?
Edit:
Flashing MJ2 bootloader via TWRP right now, seeing how that goes.

I recommend Philz Touch because it is easy to flash it using Odin. I used to have TWRP and had problems flashing ROMs. Once I switched to Philz, I didn't have anymore problems.
The best modem in your case would be the mjb version. Even though the Canadian and US versions of the s3 are identical hardware wise, the bootloaders and modems are not interchangeable.

I've used TWRP for a long time/flashed many files without issue, thanks for the suggestion.
So what exactly would you like me to flash though (links would be nice if you could)?
As I've said, I've already tried various ROMs/Modems etc, the problem is deeper than that.
Edit: Flashed MB2
All of the same issues still occur. :'(
SOLVED:
Flashed Firmware:
I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5.zip (I guess this is what you were telling me to do all along huh?)
All good.
Thanks everyone!

Maybe I had issues with TWRP because mine was outdated or perhaps it's just my phone, I'm not sure. I use TWRP on my Nexus 4 and it's perfect.
Glad you got things working:good:

I flashed the same firmware with Odin and was then able to successfully root and flash my s3 with 4.4.2 PACman. Was having the same issue before this where I had no service, no sound, and YouTube, etc.. wouldn't play.
