Updated modems.
Thank you sir, we've been needing this for a while now...
are these modems in chronological order? their naming convention is very confusing, whats the latest one?

1) EG30
2) EG31
3) EK02
4) EL13
G=July
K=November
L=December
The EG30 is what came stock
The EG31 is what was sent to sprint techs
The EK02 is what sprint just pushed out as OTA update
The EL13 is a leak with CIQ removed, Samsung authentic, just not sprint official (yet).
Pretty sure that's correct. Someone correct me if I'm off.

you can flash the el29 modem, that is the newest. Different modems sometimes work different for different areas/phones. I always just run the newest, but you can play around with them and find your favorite

Almost caught up with everything new popping up. If you've got something out there that you don't see on the wiki and you'd like to see it up, I either just haven't had time or I've missed it. So post it here and I'll make sure to add it
I've actually subscribed to this thread now, so I'll be able to catch posts quicker.
Ahhhhhhh! looks like you already started what I had started. I was talking to sfhub because the modem database was a mess and of course out of date.
I will use what you have already done to finish what I was doing. I was going to ask you about the thread links and you already removed them. While I wasn't going to go that far I was about to say no offense to qbking77 (I gave him a mirror to help with this) but the thread is also a mess with broken links. Wasn't sure if you wanted to continue pointing to the same thread for everything when the source for the modems are all available from sfhub with maybe a couple exceptions.
Links are still broken for some of the top posts. sfhub has 2 mirrors and cwm and odin files for ALL of the modems except EG12 and EG31. So it was my intention to set it up to have 2 mirrors on each one, 2 lines for each (one cwm one odin) rather than having a line for every mirror like it was for a couple. Unfortunately I wont be able to replace the one one click modem that id10t made since his upload is dead and the EG12 that still exists in someones drop box appears to not be correct so ill leave that link alone for the moment.
Seeing as how you went good and clean with one line for each modem, I could do the same still with the mirrors but it changes things a little. Starting with your table now. I will be around to help with this from now on.
Alright I merged what I was doing with the recent table change. I feel like the links are too close together I did what I could. I too felt having lines for each mirror and each format were not going to work for the amount of modems we have now. But I almost feel like format lines might have "almost" looked cleaner.
Hope you don't mind the addition. I was just figuring (and based on how the table was a couple days ago) since we had a consistent mirror setup for all the modems and one server being able to go down at any given time it was a good idea.

I would agree it was getting a bit messy so I tried to clean it up. I love where you took it though, much better. Thanks for contributing, as that's what it is, coming together to make it better for everyone. I appreciate, as well as I'm sure others do as well, the time you spent on that. Thanks.

sorry for bumping this topic. im looking for a good modem to work with my aokp milestone 6 rom.
Im a Noob here guys, so let me appologize in advance...Ive been a little trigger shy about starting this thread to say the least, so here are my issues...
Like a noob I updated my new gs2 right out of the box to 2.3.6 without even considering problems with roms. I was able to gain root access with zedomaxs gs2root.com tutorial, as I did with my last gs2 on original firmware.
I am currently on juggs 4.1 & its working nicley except my data speeds have dropped from 12-15 mbps down to 2-6. My battery life seems to be okay but i dont remember how stock was as i left the gs2 for a short while for the amaze wich had AWFULL battery life, so anything seems great in comparison. I want to get my data speeds corrected, & I also would really like to move to bombaridier rom but im not sure exactly wich roms I will be able to use with the ota upgrade I did? I was going to flash it & see if everything went okay as it seems to be a very attractive rom for my needs, but I would rather not do anymore flashing without learning if there are any risks with flashing roms while on the 2.3.6 firmware, & whether or not I am going to be experiencing issues on all roms with this particular update on my device.
I am also curious as to if I will be able to unroot my gs2 since I rooted it with the new firmware this time.
My final question is are there any stable AOSP roms I could use with this firmware? I am by no means experienced but I have rooted and flashed several roms on my old htc sensation but i have never tried aosp, so i suppose I may just be interested in an opinion on this matter.
I have read alot of info/threads on xda so I dont want to come off as lazy, & my brain is almost overloading with the vast amount of info I read on this AMAZINGLY informative site. I am a person who LOVES to gain knowledge & self educate, so your site has become quite addictive to me over the past 6-8 weeks!
I am very sorry, but I can be a little long winded, & if anyone out there could forgive my lack of understanding and provide me with any advice or guidance on what my options may be, & if I have any possible risks running roms on this firmware, I would be more than happy to click your donate button, as I am so very appreciative of all the free knowledge the great ppl of xda have provided me! I feel lucky to have access to your site, & I am looking foreward to one day becoming a productive & contributing member.

The upgrade to 2.3.6 enables wifi calling and a new radio. So far, I haven't noticed any problems with the update.
I'm not familiar with the root method you used. I used the Odin method to root mine. It is possible to go back to completely stock though. So, you don't have to worry. I believe there is a thread in the general section, or development section about doing so.
There are two CM7 roms in the dev section. Both are basically alpha builds and have some bugs. There are also two roms the have touchwiz removed.
I'm not sure about the data speed issues. Maybe try flashing a different rom and see if it changes?

The method I used to root was odin as well. If I flash bombaridier I would assume I am safe then? I also have my stock root backup, as well as a backup of juggernaut 4.1. I have done the unroot process before, I just was not sure if it would have the same outcome since I rooted with odin on the new firmware. also,am I okay to flash any rom, even though I am on the 2.3.6 firmware or are there any that may cause serious problems being they were probably written for previous firmware versions? THANK YOU so very much for your reply! I dont want to beat a dead horse, I guess I am looking for confirmation that flashing roms on the new firmware, isnt a big no no , or requires any xtra steps....Thanks again to you!
Just wondering if anyone in e. TN has done any radio testing and found one to be better than others at keeping the signal and 3G locked in?
Thanks!

To wrap up in summary of the topic of your question -
There have been numerous times where we have discussed the benefits, degradation, "placebo effect", performance, etc of changing modem's/prls to get the best that we can of the device.
General consensus - YMMV. (Your mileage may vary)
From everything to related tower availability, to the actual use of a prl that's purposely put in place, to staying with the most current modem, to the differences in to identical devices sitting side by side.. It's going to be the combination that you find that works.
I will say this, however, since we know it was a kernel/modem/rom change in the actual code. We (RWilco, Garwynn, TD ( I believe and others)) found that the wimax settings that were changed in the latest releases of ICS stock leaks which means if you ran all three parts together - wimax performance was definitely noticeable.
My suggestion for you - Head to RWilco's repository and try the different modems (paying attention to run the correct one with the build of your kernel/rom)
Stock GB and ICS TW Roms - Mix and match GB and ICS era modems to your hearts content.
Stock JB TW Roms - Use only JB TW era modems.
AOSP/AOKP - (For now, may change when JB source drops) Use GB or ICS era modems.

What's the consciousnesses of the best ROM for the Sprint G3?
Really don't want to download them all, try all features and then choose. We need like a Download meter on a page that says how many times each rom flavor has been downloaded so we know what's hot and what's not.
Give me your feedback based on all features working and a solid rom with no issues. (plz don't laugh. I know we are not releasing broke apps/ROMs )

Every week or two, this exact thread pops up, and the generic response is: try them all out.
In terms of downloads, none of the Roms are hosted on XDA< so it'd be impossible to bake it into the site itself. Dev's could put it in their posts, but even that's not a good indication (Roms that release a lot of updates will have a lot more downloads with fewer users, for example).
In terms of what's best, it's impossible to say. I personally like some of the fun features of XYZ Rom, while Johnny over there is much more interested in stability (he uses the phone for work, you see). Likewise, Suzie really just wants to have a Stock Rom with all Sprint and Samsung bloat removed. Little Ralphie wants the fastest and most gamer-friendly Rom, while Carl wants the best battery life.
All of us will have different desires when we flash a Rom and therefore there will never be a consensus on what is the best Rom.
Edit: All of that being said, If you don't want to take the time to flash each Rom individually, I'd say look at one thread and look at the features list. You'll see a bunch of stuff that makes no sense to you, but you might be able to piece together what some of the mods/features might be. If they sound good, read through the last 5-10 pages of the thread and see if there are any stability issues being reported. If it seems stable enough for you, flash it. Otherwise, move on to the next thread.

Each rom thread has a break down of what the rom includes, what works and doesn't. Feed back on the thread is the closest to a meter you'll get.

This is what I do. I like Whiplashh's, and currently running MOAR.
Flastnoles11 has a list of them in his FAQ thread.
check out the ported iOS compiled from source in the original android development forum. most users have pretty decent battery life. only annoyance is that you jailbreak it every time the phone reboots.

Hello, my name is Shahin. I am getting a Sprint SGSIII soon. I would like to know a few things.
First of all, i would like to know how stable aosp/aokp/etc (non touchwhiz) is.
second, What is the most stable OC kernel for 4.2.1 what is the max safe OC
third what roms does it work with
and fourth, any recommendations on roms?
Thanks in advance
also, any other advice? im coming from the E4GT... from boost mobile. also i had a ZTE Warp. thanks again
The first thing you should do is check out THIS thread. As for advice on Roms, that's all subjective. What I mean is that there are a lot of variables. How you use your Rom. What you like ? AOSP, TW, AOKP, CM,.... As for the Kernel question, it depends on what Rom choice you make. How high you can OC depends partially on your device. Not all devices are the same. One thing to keep in mind is that, just because you can Overclock to lets say 2.1gHz . That does not guarantee that your device will be any smoother, faster, or more stable. In fact on some devices it has the exact opposite effect. Keep in mind that what you want is an overall better performing device.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Galaxy S3. It's a really good phone and I'm sure you'll love it.
As far as your questions:
In my opinion, AOSP is pretty stable. There are some things that have been reported, such as hand-off issues between 4G and 3G, but all-in-all it's stable enough for most users.
This is typically a phone-by-phone and user-by-user type of question. It also depends on which Rom you're running. Some kernels don't play well with some Roms. One of the more popular Kernels on here is Ktoonsez's kernel. Just make sure you download the correct one for the Rom you're using (4.1.x vs 4.2.x, AOSP vs. TW, etc). BMS also is relatively widely used. In terms of overclocking, it really depends on your phone. Some phones handle it better than others. Hard to say what your "optimal" oc speed will be. In my opinion, the processor is powerful enough to handle most everything w/o OC-ing, but others like it extra-smooth.
Any Roms in the Sprint Forum will work with your Sprint GS3. Do not flash international Roms or Mods on this phone. They will, without a doubt, brick your phone and you'll get ridiculed by a majority of XDA. If you want to flash a Rom, just look through the original post and the last 5-10 pages of the thread to see if there are any issues with it.
Rom recommendations are kind of tricky. My setup is shown in my Signature, and I really like it. But there are many different tastes out there and you just have to find the Rom that fits yours.
Other Advice:
XDA can be a finicky community at times (myself included). But despite some snarky responses, we're mostly here to help.
It's always best to do a search before posting a question, and we love people who read through and find what they're looking for.
Hitting the thanks button is always good if someone helps you out.
Have fun flashing!

Are you on Cricket?
I'm not horribly familiar with Cricket, but I've been told that once you get the phone working on the Cricket network, that Sprint Roms will also work for it. CNexus is much more familiar with it than I am.
no, i was just wondering... but thanks for the info.
Yes, you can flash ROMs made for the Sprint version if you are on cricket. Should not mess with whatever flashing procedure you took or whatnot.
But of course, always make a backup
