[RADIOS] CWM Flashable Modems

Here is just a collection of CWM flashable modems i have tested to be working on the SGS-T989(D)
Get all radios HERE
Mirror'd in this post in the General Section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639771
NOTE: these are the radios i have TESTED this is why i don't have every radio available up here because i have not tested them to be working to some degree. Others are welcome to post and contribute what they have tested working as well.

Thanks you so much for this.You have done so much for this community and I thank you.
From a glaxay better than yours.

Thank you we needed one of these. Hopefully we are able to get the rest up soon

In any way the SGH-T989 Series radio is better than stock ?
Or is it the actual stock radio

Awesome! Thank you so much for this Mr.X.
Tmo VK1 is the latest one to enable wifi calling right?

Very nice thank you, this should really be in the Dev section.... To important to be in General imo.
Also might i suggest MD5 check sums in the OP.

I made an oops and packed the tmo radio in the telus zip, so im updating that one and ill do md5's

are all of them compatable with US tmobile, with the exception of the EU/asian one

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

means if i flash the Telus modem will support HSPA+ 850 ( the one i need in peru) but i get back to USA i have to flash again to the tmo stock modem to get 4G speeds on tmo network?

sorry for the noobish question but what excatly do these radios do? If i have the telus version of the phone, but using it on Wind Mobile, how will flashing this help me?

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.

How sure are we that flashing modems through cwm is 100% safe? I know on a lot of other phones that while it is possible, its said that it is not safe. Correct me if I'm wrong but I just wanna be sure.

on the vibrant all the modems where came flashable and I've done dozens of time with all the modems they had and never had a problem. I was actually wondering why on this phone it wasn't being done. I would say from my experience it is safe

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.

Yes you can run skyrocket roms but you have to flash a T-mobile SGSII kernel so that the auto rotation works properly. You also would have to add the T-mobile APN. You don't have to change your modem as stated above.

oh burn. Are you seriously hating because ive only been here a few months but I learned how to use the search function fairly quickly.
I thought the skyrocket modem needs more than the APN to get 4G since ATT and Tmobile high speed run on different bands.
I'm assuming he wants all the features in use ie that he gets 4g

The exact reason you came into this thread and posted your answer was because you said nobody was answering the question. Now you are doing the SAME THING.
Maybe you should read the question again.
He did not ask how to use a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T....which seems to be what you are describing, now that you realize you are wrong in regards to the original question.
If you give out false information, and I know it is false, then I will correct it.

Really guys? Please try not to make xda even more hated. Forgive and forget.

I'm not going to bother to post any further response though. The thread is on the edge or already went.over as far as usefulness.
But summary
Yes. Flash it and fix it

Actually! you also need to flash the conversion zip to have a few small things working, i forgot what... but it is needed.
Furthermore, it has been said that T-mobile has changed the way APN works and seems to be working with any APN used except NULL... WHY? they figured out our throttled workaround...
and yeah... you don't need to change the modem because the modem never changed when flashing a skyrocket rom..

You are right about the conversion zip, although it is technically not required...I booted and used alien skyrocket rom with the synergy kernel for this phone and then changed the apn to get data working.

yeah but people say to get gps working properly, you need to flash the conversion zip? I'm not sure, but test your gps and see if it's working. I just opened up the conversion zip and it does have a gps config file in there, but i also notice it has a kernel in there. so i would suggest flashing the conversion zip prior to flashing a kernel.

I forgot if the odin skyrocket roms work on our phone

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.

[Q] Problem connecting to data network

Hi all. Sorry if this is any trouble. I have done quite a bit of research and can't quite pinpoint this problem I'm having.
I'm running Synergy r443 with the kernel that fixed the screen rotating issue. KT747 I believe. And I can't connect to my 3g data network. Upon booting my phone I get this green checkmark that says "preparing network..." it's constantly there and never finishes. I've called T-mobile and they can't fix anything. They want me to go into a T-mobile store, which seems like a bad idea because I'm rooted. I have a backup on my phone which is a rooted stock version and 3g works fine when I revert back to that. I'm thinking maybe there is a problem with the kernel I'm using, and it's not compatible with whatever magic is connecting me to 3g.
My question to you knowledgeable fellows is whether or not this kernel could be causing me problems. If so, then what is a good kernel to use with the Synergy r443 rom? Or could it possibly be something else? Any way I could get help would be greatly appreciated. And I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this.
Thanks,
Alex

Just test things yourself. Make a backup and do a full wipe and flash the rom without the kernel.

Alex, I doubt it is a kernel issue. Many people have used that kernel on a wide variety of setups. I suggest to post your issue in the KT kernel thread in the general section. Some people monitor that thread that may be able to help you.

Unfortunately, flashing the rom with the stock kernel did not solve the my problem. I can connect to wi-fi just fine but my phone can't find a 3g/4g signal where it used to be able to. Only difference now is that I don't have the checkmark that says "preparing network..."
Any insight towards a solution would be appreciated. You guys know more than me about this stuff.

Of course it is. When I say modem I mean the radios, in which affect your data. You can flash any of the radios intended for OUR device ONLY. Each one can reflect your overall signal, which is why it's good to test them all and see which works best for you.

I don't like to suggest roms.... I say try them all. Lol Everyone has different needs and tastes.... So it's pointless to give my opinion.
But yes... Flashing a new rom should fix it. Just make sure to read the opening post for instructions.... Carefully. Reading through the last however many pages of the thread is always a smart idea also. You'll find out about bugs and stuff, and see what folks at saying about it.
