tried it once without any luck. going back to stock telus ROM at the moment.
has anybody had any success flashing an AT&T modem onto an i747M?
i am using the telus variant
edit: reason i wanted to do this was b/c i was getting some consistent signal drops. after having to go stock telus -> CM10 nightly (8/20), i'll see if i'm still getting any drops. that was the reason i wanted to use an AT&T modem, but if the issue doesn't come back i'll withdraw my inquiry

I'm using 8/18 and I'm not having too many issues. CM has been my daily driver for 2 weeks. I'm on telus as well. I haven't tested LTE, but once I'm back at school I'll figure it out and make sure everythings working smoothly.

CM10 8/20 nightly works great, i'm not getting any of those signal drops i had from before. maybe the phone just needed a full wipe. anyway, i'm not too curious about flashing an AT&T modem anymore. it would be nice to have a choice of modems, but that's definitely the lowest on my list now that there aren't any drops
I am using the LLE8 stock Bell modem even though my firmware is the latest ATT LH1: I did attempt to flash the full LH1 leak including the modem, but lost my IMEI in the process. Seems the modems do not play nice across different carriers, even when the phone is an I747 -- the developers then removed the modem out of the firmware package and the LH1 release installed without any issues. So my experience is that the ROMs are quite compatible, ATT to Canadian users, the source code for the kernel is standard across all SG3 phones according to the developers and the experience of people using kernels irrespective of carrier designation BUT the modem (baseband) does not appear to be cross-carrier friendly. So until a fix is developed and/or one of the Canadian carriers updates their firmware, we are stuck with LLE8 or its equivalent..

yep. i came to the exact same conclusion. i'm not too worried about it; phone takes a few seconds to hop on to LTE where i am, but no big deal
Hello friends,
When I was in Viet Nam I had a crazy shopkeeper unlock my SGH-T989D TELUS [galaxy S2X] so I could make calls while I was abroad.
I don't know exactly what he did, but I have been unable to utilize Kies to update my phone to ICS.
I have had severe issues with reception now that I'm back in Canada with the phone reception fading in and out during calls making it impossible to have a serious conversation.
I decided to use ODIN to root my phone to see if that would fix my issues, and I have restored back to the TELUS/samsung default rom in the hope that it would allow me to utilize KIES to update to ICS, hoping that it might magically fix my issue or at LEAST that in the worst case scenario I would be able to return my phone to telus/future shop/samsung (Each of these 3 have valid return/replacement programs that I may utilize.) Unfortunately, even after flashing back the Telus defaults KIES will not allow me to update, giving the "Your phone does not support software upgrading using KIES." message.
I suspect that the problem is related to the fact that the firmware reads:
PDA: KJ3 / PHONE: KJ3 / CSC: KJ3 (XXX)
I have read that for Telus phones the final part should read (TLS) instead of (XXX). I don't know what the XXX means but I'm guessing that is related to the unlock I had done in Viet Nam, and I assume it is what is preventing me from doing the ICS update --- and I'm afraid Telus/Samsung/Future Shop would notice this and not process a return. I have of course tried using different cables and installing/uninstalling KIES and utilizing a different computer to attempt to update.
For Reference:
Running android 2.3.5
baseband t989dtlkj3
kernel v. 2.6.35.11
gingerbread.tlkj3
I am new to the XDA forums but I have not found anyone with exactly this problem (although my search skills may not be up to par).
I am writing this as a last resort, I hope that someone out there can help!!
Thank you in advance!
Have you tried the latest ICS Telus stock ROM?

I have not yet attempted ODIN flashing the ICS Telus rom: I felt that if flashing the gingerbread stock rom did not modify/update the weird (XXX) back to (TLS) then the ICS might not either. IT is my priority to get that fixed so that (hopefully) KIES will then allow me to update not only now but also in the future --- and because I'm afraid that it might cause rejected returns. Do you think that flashing the ICS Telus rom would have a chance to fix this (XXX) thing? (I don't even know what that is an indicator for)

I have fully updated my phone to the newest OS and still I have radio problems, call cuts in and out, misses calls... Does anyone have any ideas? I literally have no idea what to do next.
I think it is related to the firmware being (XXX) instead of TLS for Telus. The unlock in vietnam has been causing me trouble for a year.

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here although I have gotten plenty of helpful information from the site in venturing off into rooting and customizing my ION.
I have the Xperia Ion LT28at, which is rooted. I just had a warranty exchange on the phone due to the microphone completely going out. On my previous ION I rooted it and flashed the lt28i firmware to get rid of the att firmware. I noticed a problem after flashing lt28i firmware that I don't believe I encountered before. If I were to be listening to spotify or pandora with head phones or speakers plugged in, if I got a call during or even hours after of listening to music, I would get this weird underwater, alien sounding voice and I sounded the same way to the person on the other end. Has anyone else experienced this? With the new phone I have I'd like to put the deodexed lt28i firmware so I can do a few mods that require it to be deodexed and of course limited to roms due to the locked bootloader. Any Ideas?
Thanks
It might be, as I could be wrong, that it is caused by the cross flash of basebands. Try flashing every bit of int. fw except for baseband (or flashing the att baseband only)
Thanks. That thought actually crossed my mind today about flashing the att baseband only after installing the other firmware. Now is there a difference between the lt28h and lt28i firmware? I see here it states if you want the lt28h over the lt28i firmware with lte then flash just the baseband after installing the lt28h. I was just curious if there was a difference or advantage of one over the other since there is specific instructions in case someone would want the h over the i.
Not knowing what exactly to search for when I originally asked the question I wasn't sure if there was anything on here related. After browsing around a little I ran across 2 post answering discussing both of my questions, no answers on the baseband issue but I'll continue to follow. Thanks for the help. This could be deleted.
^^i too became aware of this problem yesterday...
Your scratchy garbled thing is a known bug with any LT28i ICS firmware being used on a Lt28at. To my knowledge; no one has been able to completely remove it unless running gingerbread or stock AT&T ICS....or the hybrid thing of Lt28h firmware with att baseband...
the weirder part, though, are these baseband flashing issues. That is the difference between the LT28h and i. The 'h' doesn't support LTE, and its firmware's baseband doesn't utilize it. So guys would run LT28h with an AT&T baseband, and NOT have this garbled thing, yet still have LTE.
So some of us figured running any AT&T baseband with LT28i firmware would remove the bug, right? Flashtool seemingly won't do it...it says the flash of the baseband is successful, but it doesn't change anything on the phone...
either way...I'd say just deal with it for the next week or so...JB will be out, and we'll have plenty of other bugs to figure out too haha.
We did indeed flash the at GB base band for the h ics firmware. I will say that the problem was still there with this setup though not as frequent. The only confirmed rom on at devices to not do it are the stock roms from att. Why we can not flash it now I have no idea. I also wounder if it still works for the h roms now?? I will also add that I did notice the issue more when going in and out of 4g. Now that 4g is on all over town it has not done it. I say that and it will tomorrow haha. All we can do is wait now and with two firmwares being leaked it cant be long before a ftf shows up somewhere.
has anyone tried flashing the ATT GB baseband over an LT28i ICS? I only tried ATT ICS baseband, which didn't change the version number (but i haven't had a garbled call since?)...
I bought an unlocked yakjuux Galaxy Nexus (Canadian) phone that currently has 4.2.1. From what I understand, Samsung is responsible for doing the OTA updates, which I know unfortunately occurs later than the Google ones. I'm using this phone on T-mobile in the United States, and I wanted to ask if this will interfere with me getting any updates, since I'm not using a Canadian service. If not, I'm willing to wait it out. If not, I'm considering flashing takju or yakju. Does flashing these images also change the radio, or is that a separate process? Thanks in advance.

That's actually a separate process as Roms normally only package kernels and even then is optional.
If you search the android development forum you'll find the radio thread and likely find the radio you need to flash. I would link but on mobile.
Also I believe Rhee only difference between yakju and takju is Google wallet. I actually think Google factory brands every phone with any JB stock rom. (Eg. No longer rogers/bell/fido etc boot screen and bloatware.)
So unless you flash manually I'm not sure you'll get OTA because the Canadian OS for me on wind and rogers has only updated to 4.1.2 because of the 4.2 bugs.
EDIT was 4.2.2 but when I got OTA it changed to 4.1.2, I now use the cm10.1 so I'm not much help anymore.

Thanks for the reply. Is there an advantage of me flashing a new radio?
Also, if I understood the last part, I can get OTA updates from my Canadian phone, even though I'm on a US network, but they've delayed the update because of bugs.

No problem! All it really changes is how it deals with reception, any radio can be flashed with any ROM, personally I'd recommend the latest, doesn't destroy your battery as much on 3G anymore.
And it does seem plausible to receive OTA if its not rooted and still on stock because the factory images come from Google now. (International)
But yes that's correct, as far as I know wind (my carrier) has only gone to 4.1.2 my roommate has this same phone officially from wind with 4.1.2 and we just clicked system update saying it's latest.
Rogers may be different however I changed my phone from a rogers gnex to my own little wind gnex
Hopefully you fix your issues!

Hi, my girlfriend has a note 2 that was originally from rogers, she has gone over to bell and i was wondering would it be possible to flash the stock bell firmware on her rogers phone or would this end up with some type of damaging effect. any help would be great. her phone is the sgh-i317m
Really, the only difference between the roms is the carrier's apps. Changing roms doesn't improve connections.
What app is she missing? Or what does she hope for by changing? I always go out of my way to remove any carrier branded apps!
There's no advantage to running the bell firmware over the Rogers. Unless you need the bell apps, but those are on the play store anyway.

I find the rogers modem better than bell one

The firmware is the same, and so is the modem. What differs between the two is the CSC, carrier specific content. You'd have to check if Fast Dormancy and HD Voice still work, but those are about the only two tweaks that changing CSC might affect.
I don't know for sure about fast dormancy, but HD Voice required a factory reset to activate in some circumstances.
There is a code to change the CSC from another already available on the phone, but I don't remember it off the top of my head (it's been posted on here a few times already). Caution, it does wipe the phone without warning.

If the phone already rooted you don't need to flash firmware again to get Bell's rom. Just go to playstore and install the app from link below. All ypu need to do is change CSC thats all.

Cool thanks I appreciate everyone's help, The main thing i was worried about was flashing different radios and messing that up but since i can just install the bell apps from the play store i see no reason to really mess around with it. thanks
Right. All North American carriers use the latest modem.
