I have the NexusMod ROM for my SGS2 T989.. The Dev of the ROM gave 3 radios to flash onto it.
RADIOS - Flash these on top of any ICS Rom. RIL already taken out.

Can anyone help me with what radio to choose. Do I have to test them out to know which one is best? I live in Boston, MA. Can you flash multiple, or only one at a time? Thanks
If u live in Boston flash LB7

They have to deal with the signal and data speeds. The lb7 is the radio from the Blaze and it's supposed to get faster download speeds. I've read mixed results so the best thing usually to do is flash them each one at a time and see what gives you the individual the best results. That's how I came to using the lb7 after not getting any data what-so-ever on a few others

way to post quality posts and get your count up to 10 bud. I hit u up with a thanks too.
I'm going to post the correct definition of a "radio" now:
Radio's/Modems (term used interchangeably on xda) refer to the firmware used by your phone to allow the android phone to communicate one a hardware level with the internal radio in your cell phone. As all of you know cellphones are just REALLY advanced radios. This firmware is basically low level user in-accessible software, almost a little operating system of sorts, that controls the phones radio. Different radios have different features and are written differenty. Some favour connectivity, allowing for you to catch a signal anywhere, whereas others sacrifice slight connectivity for raw speed, giving you better data speeds when you do catch a signal.
On a side note, since our phones are LTE i will let you in on a little secret. When you make a phone call your phone actually drops down to 4g. LTE is not for voice, data only.

The T989 does not have LTE. Our "4G" is HSPA+.

Ok I kind of understand the whole Radio thing, but upon flashing the Nexus rom 3.8 on my T989, my 4G still works. Should I flash the LB7 radio on my phone regardless to squeeze out the best performance of data speed? I live in Atlanta.

I did a test on the 3 radios for a couple days. All of the radios were pretty much the same for me, but like everyone recommended LB7 did do the best overall. I did a few speed tests on each radio in different areas. LB7 averaged the best download speeds.

Just try each one out and see which one seems better in terms of things like call quality and data speeds. Yes, there are modems that can be flashed in recovery. You can just wipe cache and dalvik. Try each one out for a minimum of 2 days just to let them settle in. I'm on EL26 and am getting great results.

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

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.

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.

No it is not possible. The exynos is only compatible with WiMax. That is why the skyrockets (LTE SIIs) have snapdragons in them. Not to mention the Epic Touch doesn't have any LTE radios in it.

But on topic, if one were to access a better network it wouldn't be through Wimax at all. You say this phone is Wimax only, do you not have 3,2- or 1g?

I am obviously not saying this phone can access LTE..... But saying it is ONLY compatible with WiMAX is false, unless Ive been using WiMAX for 3,2, and 1g for half a year without knowing and without the WiMAX radio not being on most of the time.... And WiFi, albeit related is still... Not WiMAX....
I see more and more of this misinformation and it is not only wrong, its counter-productive. If you know the answer to his question (no, in this case) tell him. No need for arrogant speculation on top.. Or something...

Tethering WiMAX for something as demanding as ps3 or xbox will likely be a heavy load. Keep in mind , we have a 1.5 Mbps uplink cap.. Its rough, but thats part of why we get our price...

i believe sfhub mentioned a while ago a team was trying to solder the LTE chip on our phone to make it LTE compatible. but thats all i know lol
Hey all, tried some some research on this issue but couldn't find solutions that addressed the issues. Here it goes..
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 currently running CM10 (by team chopsticks). It has come to my attention that since installing the ROM, my cell reception is down to 0 bars.. sometimes 1 or 2. This is weird because I usually have full service in my apartment. As directed on their website, I flashed UVLE1 radio, then install the rom, then install gaaps. However, I later found another radio called UVLH1... so, Question #1: What is the difference is between these two?
Question #2: anyone have a solution for this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Was I not supposed to flash any radios in the first place?
Question #3: When I make phone calls people tell me they can barely hear me if i talk into the phone HOWEVER they can hear me perfectly if i speak into my bluetooth headset.. is this a radio issue or is there something wrong with my phone itself?
Question #4: Lastly, the 4G data works intermittently in my apartment this is unusual as I usually have full bars and steady 4g connection at all times.. could this be caused by the radio also?
any help would be great... thank you all so much for your time
Go flash the note radio. Lg3.

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

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.
