[Q] Modem.bin

I need the Epic 4G Touch's modem.bin
Like an idiot, I flashed the OC kernel over on 'phone', so I need to flash the modem.bin. But the link in the Android dev section is down, and all other references to the stock modem.bin uses the very same dead link! It is maddening!
So, I humbly request that the modem.bin be re-upped to a mutliupload page to ensure this doesn't happen again.
EDIT: And like an idiot, I go and make it in the wrong section! Gaaarrr, I gave up cigarettes for this?!

Could use this file also please... and thank you for these forums...

Yup one more request for the modem.bin
was porting some of the overseas roms and forgot to delete the modem update from the package like a noob. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to any kind soul who can help us out.

I searched "flashed phone in odin"

Try the forum search next time guys

Thanks man, but thats not the problem I at least can find many references to the modem.bin download but all ultimately point to
h t t p://bit.ly/rhlkhC
which redirects to
h t t p ://ninpo.qap.la/epic4gt/modem.bin
and shows as page not found.
it may just be me but seems like there is only one download location and no alternative, and that location just doesn't work.
we need an alternate download.

Updated the guide with that link too.

thank you thank you thank you and a clickety thanks to you too.

Curious, has anyone flashed an Epic 4G Radio by mistake? If so, what were the results? Could it be undone without permanent issues?

Yes, I have. It just kills your signal. Permanent LOS lol. Doesn't brick or anything just flash the modem.bin for our phone and all is well.

i flashing this modem.bin but it looks like it is eg12... any idea on where i can find eg30 modem.bin? Thats the one my phone came with before i blew it away by accident and now i only have eg12. Thanks!

Well ill be damned....
looks like all the modem.bin files out there are the eg12 version (as i flashed to fix my phone also)
and my mom's has the eg30.
on further inspection this creates another problem, even after returning to stock and resetting everything if you plug your phone into kies the eg12 version gives a "this version of the device cannot be upgraded" while the eg30 says "this device is up to date" (both were hacked and returned to stock to check this)
if anyone knows the adb command to pull a modem.bin i'll do it and post it (though on some phones it's not possible?) i believe the modem.bin came out of the sammy sdk. hope im wrong.
anybody found a solution for this yet?

Stock MD6 Modem for Straight Talk s3 (S960L)

i know this is sprint galaxy s3 section, but the straight talk s3 is basically the same phone and there is no section for it.
if you own this particular model, then you would know that its pure hell trying to find ANY files. this is the stock MD6 modem.bin ripped from my phone. ive seen people ask for this modem because they flashed the MD4 modem in hopes of getting their MSL and/or for the benefits of being able to use the 16-digit password. (which reminds me.. i have read of ways to port the 16-digit password from a .dll file in the phone? i have done loads of searching, but the password is NO WHERE to be found) and needed the stock modem. so for anyone that needs it here it is.
hopefully us ST S3 users will eventually gather up all the odin files to completely restore our phones when needed

[Q] SOS! Internet super slow! (Should I change modems?)

Im sorry to be asking this (I've searched the forums and google and can't find anything conclusive)
Background:
I have a service contract with AT&T and I'm currently a customer of them. I used to have the Galaxy S4 (i747), and the usb charging port stopped working. I took it into a repair shop where they messed the whole phone up and had to give me back the phone with a whole new board in it, the only problem with the new board it's a board for i747M. I was having issues with the phone being stuck on edge - so I proceeded to unlock it again (I do not trust the work they did, and even thou I had network with my AT&T SIM Card, I had to make sure it was unlocked), I also restored the old IMEI - and after all this I was able to get out of edge.
The problem:
Even thou the phone reports 4G LTE, the internet is super slow!!
I made a speed test and the speeds are at 256 download // 512 upload - WEIRD!
The new board is for i747M - I already restored the IMEI to the one the original board had, I checked my APN and everything is in order.
(Did I missed anything? other than calling the repair shop and scream at them!)
I was wondering if I flash an i747 modem (MJB to be exact, since I'm on 4.3 with MK5), will the speeds improve, or will I brick the phone?
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm desperate!

You are unlikely to brick the phone by flashing the modem alone (although I affirm no guarantees to this effect) unless you try to flash the wrong bootloader and/or ROM. You did not, however, say which ROM your phone is currently on. Is it currently on the I747MVLUEMK5 or I747UCUEMJB? There is always a problem with incompatibility between your modem and ROM respectively which is what you'll have if you flash the MJB model whilst on the MK5 ROM plus, of course, subsequent firmware upgrades may be compromised. Are you sure also it's not an hardware issue you are having and the "repair shop" didn't muck up something on the mother board or install a dud? At this stage, however, I don't see how you have much to lose in trying a different modem. If it doesn't help, you can always go back to the previous one. All discussions about warranty are probably off the table already.

[Q] Need help with modem

Hello all, I posted here several weeks ago about me trying several things on my SPH-L520 to get root back after Knox, and ultimately failing until I found s0be's CyanogenMod project for the SPH-L520. This saved my device and I have a fully working ROM again with root access and the likes, however back when I started this commotion I deleted the modem off of my phone. After tinkering with my brothers phone today and following some very helpful threads I have successfully recovered the modem.bin from his phone. Unfortunately, this is where my expertise ends, as I don't know how to build the constituent parts to include in a .zip to make this modem flashable. Do to the current state of development for the SPH-L520 I also haven't found any modem packages that would work for me on a CDMA network, as most (read: all) of the modem packages I have found are for international LTE variants, and even if my phone successfully accepted them, well you know why that probably wouldn't work. So I'm asking for help, one final push to make my phone a phone again and not a fancy PDA. If anyone knows how I can turn the modem bin i have into a flashable zip, I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance, Hans.

Perhaps this thread can help you: http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/archive/index.php?thread-92.html
You need to flash through Odin twice for the modem to take effect.
You will probably be creating a .tar.md5 for modem.bin only

Thank you for linking to that thread.Unfortunately, Knox prevents Odin from successfully flashing the modem.tar I created. I'm going to try backing up my brothers modem with ZipMe and installing it on my phone that way.

What the hell is up with my phone? I just when checking around the firmware file with ES File Explorer, and right there inside is the modem files! But for some reason it's not working, the modem isn't being loaded or something because I still have no phone coverage... This is very strange.

EDIT: So I went into my connectivity settings and tried to add a APN. It wouldn't save to my phone. After that I tried changing my phone from NV to RUIM/SIM, but it wouldn't switch. I also tried to configure a network, but it said I needed to insert my SIM and restart the phone. Odd...

IMEI null, Service Mode Blank, Baseband Unknown

Hey all!
I have a Canadian S4 (SGH-M919V) from WIND Mobile that my friend gave to me, broken.
I have already tried just about everything I can think of, and everything I read online to repair it.
It has a NULL IMEI (as verified by doing *#06#), and when I enter the Service Mode menu via *#0011#, the menu screen comes up but is just black and blank. The Baseband version displays as "Unknown".
I have tried flashing a few different stock roms (via Odin) for that particular phone, and have even tried AOSP roms (via TWRP), to no avail.
I have followed guides for restoring a blank IMEI, however, all the methods I tried required a working Service Mode, which I do not have.
At this point I'm thinking the problem is either hardware, or, it needs to have the IMEI reset via the JTAG, and I don't have the stuff to do that.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately you are going to have to get your information on fixing this elsewhere.
Discussion about changing the IMEI (even from 0 to a working value) are forbidden on XDA as making changes to an IMEI is illegal in most places in the world. And people use that info to make it easier to steal phones, so we don't discuss it here.
The only thing that I can advise you on is to restore the EFS backup, which includes that devices original IMEI, if one was made and saved to the device. If not, that's no help at all.
I can say that you're on the right track though as far as fixing it. But you need to find your answers somewhere else.

Thanks for the reply. I realize the issues surrounding changing the IMEI, so I wasn't looking for help with that necessarily (though I would be open to doing so as the phone does have it's own perfectly legal and valid IMEI which I would be using).
I was hoping that perhaps all that was wrong was a corrupt modem, or something along those lines. I have tried to do an EFS restore, but to no avail. Some guides suggest doing a backup of the presumably corrupt EFS and then restoring it, but that didn't help either.
I am probably just going to have to chalk this up to "unfixable", as it most likely is indeed hardware damage.
So unless anyone else has any ideas...

If you have the valid IMEI that is confirmed good it is fixable. But it just can't be discussed here. I wouldn't throw the phone out. (If nothing else it's a GREAT tiny tablet for wifi use.)
Google will help you out.

Thanks again. I have an authorized Samsung repair place in town, so I will bring it by there first and see if they can handle it. If not, I'll ask my old buddy Google where to take it from there.
