[Q] What is the deal with baseband? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I don't quite understand it. I know there are updated basebands but can you flash any of them with any Rom or is it specific to what my phones baseband is?
For example my baseband says UVDLJC. Does this mean I can only flash the updated UVDLJC modem or can I try others?

That modem I believe is specific to T-Mobile gs3, flashing other modems that's not from our carrier and device will probably screw you're phone up. I believe that you have the newest modem that recently came out. As long as its from T-Mobile and our devices you can flash others.
Just watch out. I know people want the best modem for their area and stuff but if its not broke dont fix it
That being said watch very close to what modem you put and do experiments(for days) and try not to flash one after another. And idk about if you can flash a modem anyrom anywhere.. but I would say yes to that but dont quote me lol
And it does not have to be udvljc I think the last one before was udvlj4 or A? Neways it was not the same but it could still be flashed.
Be careful!
Rule #1 Respect the Devs. Rule #2 Refer back to Rule #1

Modems are not ROM specific. Any modem with any ROM.
As long as the device is SGH-T999 and the modem is for that device.

I've flashed just about every baseband on multiple different roms and platform types.. As long as u stick to your own carriers basebands you won't have an issue. Try them all and see what works best for you in your area.

Flashing Different Carriors Roms: Successful vs. Unsuccessful

Normally I Would't Suggest Flashing another carrier ROM but For Some reason People have Figured it out on the Note 11 far the first time I'Ve Seen.So for my own curiosity and im sure others as well. Lets try to make a list of all the compatible non T-Mobile roms for the Note II.
AT&T - JELLYBEER
At&T - JELLYBAM
AT&T - CleanRom
N7105 - International LL1
AT&T - JellyThunder
If you are new to flashing, please dont be the first to try new Roms. And apparently no 7100 roms!!!
Ive read somewhere we can flash any US Variant Rom as long as no modem or radio is included. But I find that hard to believe. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If I'm missing any Rom's, will happily add to list
I use the international LL1 for the N7105. Works like a dream.

Thanks for input. Now have to ask why did you flash those specific ones? Does it say compatible in thread or just flashed and worked

I know for a fact (as I have tried myself) AT&T, T-Mobile (obviously), 7105, and Sprint. Sprint did require a kernel flash (boot.img). Otherwise a modem flash is required (unless the Rom does not flash the modem, then you need not flash a modem)
Basically here is how it works:
T-Mobile : ROM
AT&T: ROM, modem
7105: ROM, modem
Sprint: ROM, modem, kernel
I would guess, Verizon would work the same as Sprint.

EDIT: had to add AOSP kernels are not the same as stock Samsung kernels. Basically for AOSP kernel get the boot.img from your CM7/AOKP/PA whatever AOSP ROM for your phone (I took it from madmack's CM10 and applied it to the Sprint PA ROM)

There is a dev, Teshxx who is doing a fine job of porting international and roms from other carriers. He uses the rom for a base and adapts it to the T889. The N7105 roms are stock samsung, no carrier bloat.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
Hi there guys. I too can confirm this. The all us carrier deal anyway. There are easy ways and there are better or right ways. The easy way only really requires a few lines swapped and or deleted on the rom you want and the rom your specific device requires. I've tested twice. Sprint and att via testing the two ports done by a few verizon users . However from what we've experienced ( mind you this us s3 and not note 2) you don't have to flash or worry as far as I've noticed any radios or rpm as those are written to the partitions via your ota or flashing seperately ..And we also flashed different kernel. This is just more testimony and not saying I know any facts or that I personally port or figured this out on my own. A couple of very nice devs in our verizon forum shared this info. And now many are succeeding. Thanks and hope I'm not jacking your note 2 thread. Lol

Great thread as I was wondering which ROMs I could flash safely and which I couldn't on my T-Mobile T889.
What kernel is everyone using on their Tmobile Note II, when its needed? Perseus?
Also can someone shoot me a link to the modem they flashed on their Tmo Note II?
Thanks

I am running jellybam from AT&T with its kernel. I was using the newest radio from the dev section but lost Bluetooth on my phone. Reverted to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33308483 and all is working now.

Okay, so when you go to flash a T-Mobile rom you should probably update to the latest radio right? Also how do you flash radios?
Thanks

I would probably try but I reverted to stock trying to fix my GPS issue but it still would not work. It may just be me with the issues. As for how to flash a radio. There are update.zip files that you can use in the dev section.

[Q] Switch Modem Questions

I am currently running Whom ROM, and I have a bit of confusion regarding modems.
I've seen it mentioned everywhere that you must flash a stock ROM, then flash the modem. However, after already doing a clean flash into this ROM, which runs MA7, I have no problems just using Mobile ODIN to flash LK8 Modem and the LK8 All-In-One. I am now running LK8 on this ROM with no issues.
Why would I even consider booting into a stock ROM before I flash a new Modem? I've done this same thing when I tried MA2 as well with no issues. About Phone even showed correct Modem, so it is all flashed through Mobile Odin correctly.
I have no errors whatsoevever. ROM runs smooth as butter.
I just don't see why I have to go to a stock ROM...perhaps someone can explain.
You dont need to go to stock rom to flash an updated modem just flash the all in one that are floating around and enjoy..... and as far as I know the moden doesn't really matter as jellybomb is bssed off lk8 and im on ma7..... running great and no issues!!!!!

Thanks, mate.
What's the difference between the All-In-One's and the Modem files? I always feel like I need to flash both.

you can use any modem which provides you better signal and internet connectivity just keep your imei safe if it goes nil you can restore always as it will mainly happen if you downgrade ,so need to do some reading on latest and old modem

IMEI has nothing to do with modem.
Flashing modem of ur region won't give back ur imei if it is corrupted / null.

[Q] SGH i317 recomended modem?

Good afternoon
After working on the phone all day trying to figure out how to unlock i manage to do it flashing a roger 4.1.1 modem. The issue now is that i forgot to backup the 4.1.2 and don't know where to look for it or if i should update to a better modem if there is one better than the 4.1.2. Currently on Clean rom 5 is that matters. Thanks in advance.
You can choose from the modem list in my thread one stop. You can try the MK4, but the latest is the MK6 and those are both for AT&T btw...

Thanks for the fast reply, the one i installed was ROGERS_MODEM_I317MVLALJ2 just so i could unlock the network of the phone,i ask cause mk6 seems alot different from i317MVLALJ2.
Ok i tried the MK6 but the phone was rebooting after a few minutes so i had to re flashed the rogers j2 modem back....
This SGH i317m is from a company named Claro, is there any other detail i can provide to improve the chances of finding the right modem for my phone? i haven't tested the phone on the 4.1.1 modem yet, current version is 4.1.2.

So far i tested the phone which is a Claro note2 with the new radio modem and seems fine for the moment, i hope it works better with net10 when i move to the states. I let you know i find something bad. Thanks a lot for help.
Ok for some reason, my SGH I317 passed to be a GT N7105 as model number, is that normal when flashing radio/modem? Will it affect the phone?

That's because you flashed a Rom which changed it to that. You know the model of your device, so you use the correct modem according to you device model. And everything will be OK..[emoji106][emoji41]

Hello Bajanman,
I am also facing the exact same issue that you are solving out here, I am using at&t galaxy note 2 sgh-I317,
I flashed DN4 rom into my device, i got it all up and running. But now I am facing issues with network reception and my device also does not allows me enable "wcdma only" network mode. Is that an issue with my modem? kindly advise on this.
@sawdoctor and @dicksteele is currently guiding for this here.
