I want to flash a modem with mobile odin since I am not using a repack kernel. I didn't find a tar file but I found a zip file. Can I extract the modem.bin and then in mobile odin lite select modem and browse to where the modem.bin is and select it and then flash? Or does it have to be a tar file? I am new to mobile odin but I really like it.
Well normally you would pull the modem.bin file out of the ZIP and flash it, but it won't work on our phone. I haven't been able to get a single modem.bin file or any of Calk's modem TAR files to flash in Mobile Odin. It just goes through the motions. Supposedly it will flash the modem from a full TAR image though.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will Odin the repack with recovery and flash the modem and flash the stock kernel back then.

If for some reason you don't like the repacks, you can also install the stock FB27 zImage and it should flash the modems (they ignore signature failures in FB27 stock recovery) Same number of steps as installing a CWM repack except you will always be running pure stock software (I figure there must be a reason you haven't installed a CWM repack already)
How to ? Mobile Odin cannot recognize the modem.bin file, it's only recognize the .tar file

Though I don't use it, I believe Mobile ODIN recognizes modem.bin and tar. It just doesn't flash modem.bin on CDMA systems.
Flashing the modem with the actual odin does not raise any flash counters or cause any yellow triangles. Why not just do it thru odin?

Where is it? I can't find a .zip file for the true stock not repacked??? frusutrating me lol defiantly need .zip not .tar
You need to install it first and use auto root package to remove the root access. Then it purely becomes the 'Stock'.

Ahh!
FC07 stock kernel is in here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539581 Check out the second post and download the kernel b2) odin file. You can mobile odin this file and your kernel goes back to stock.
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?
I'm trying to flash the latest FI25 for my phone according to posting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906966
I've always flashed through ODIN or one click.
I downloaded deodexed version. After unzipping the file, found out it simply is 2 file folders, can anyone teach me how to flash this to my phone?
Also, op mentioned don't flash if using Agat's repacks, how do I know if current build in my phone is Agat's repack?
You have to have a custom recovery installed. You can use Odin to install one if you don't have it. Copy the zip to your phone and install from recovery.

thank you for the quick reply. As I'm not super knowledgeable with all this, I'll probably wait for a odin-one-click version to be released. When it comes to flashing my daily used phone, I get nervous if something goes wrong.

You can use the TAR file to flash a stock ROM on your phone using ODIN on your PC, with your phone in Download mode. For example, mrRobinson's pre-rooted stock ROMs are to be flashed using ODIN.
(But yes, if you flash a mrRobinson's stock ROM using ODIN [or an original stock ROM], it will overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one, so you would have to reinstall a custom recovery once the rooted stock ROM is flashed.)
