KID and KL1 Modems/Basebands

Thanks to Team Kang you can flash a different modem/baseband via ODIN if you don't want to wait for the full update.
NO, this does not include wifi calling, it just changes the baseband from KID to KL1.
If KL1 is not working good for you just flash back to KID.
Go here and FOLLOW directions.

What's the point of this?

KID speedtest was at 1.2mb/s - 2.0mb/s download with 2 bars of signal
KL1 speedtest now at 4.8mb/s - 5.1mb/s download also with 2 bars of signal!

Can anyone take a screen shot of before and after?

For some it could improve your signal and for others it might make signal worse in which case you would have to go back to KID.
It varies on your area.
For the most part it's to improve signal, but coming from the Vibrant I know that's not always the case.

I see. Thanks. But if I flash the 2.3.6 update through ODIN I'll already have this new modem, right?

yes-then re flash cwm

Thanks for the info on what the radio does. Seems harmless to give it a try.
Radio and wifi calling aside, the new update can mostly be overlooked? Normally I'd be all over this but juggernaut is too good to me right now.
thanks again and team kang

Yeah, pretty much. I have no need for wifi calling so I got what I needed which is the modem. Gonna test out tomorrow and see if it's any good.
It's really easy to flash and won't mess with the rom you're in.

Just an FYI... I was on BeastMod 4.1. I was given a Samsung link via TMobile techies to upgrade the firmware, which also enables wifi calling. The Techies MUST and I repeat must enable your specific account to have wifi calling if you want that aspect to work. Also, I did end up losing root. Just redid the Odin stuff to get back root BTW. The Kies utility also shows the upgraded firmware info.

Been using the new modem for the last two days thanks to team kang.
My download speeds havent improved. What has improved is the ping. on the old modem i was getting 860ms for ping but now its only 43ms. much better.

Working WiFi tether with any (I hope) ICS build.

I looked though forum and couldn't find a thread addressing this issue and it looks like the question still has not been answered.
If this is a bump, mod please delete it.
After trying many WiFi tether apps and different settings I found that the latest wifi tether app works for our phones running ICS builds.
You can download it from website:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
Or from mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?x32j182mc3n0g7n
After you download and install this app go to app settings-> change device profile-> and choose "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) as your device.
Now you can start the app and connect your pc or any other device to it.
I'm posting this using tethering so it does work.
Currently I'm running Stock rooted deodexed FB21 rom by Calkulin.
As usual you can change the network name and add encryption.
Once again. If this has been addressed mod please delete this thread.

Wow, I never thought about changing the profile to a galaxy nexus lol. Brilliant! You should make a post in the general section too, seeing how that should get a lot more traffic!

May be I should ask a mod to move this thread into general section.
I don't want to creat same thread twice.
We have too many threads as is and sometime it's very hard to find info you need.
And about galaxy nexus choice.
I couldn't make it work with any other choices and then I thought since there is no ICS for our phone mabe that's the problem and did try nexus.
It worked like a charm. and it works when I'm on 4G as well.
Download speed pretty good too.

I was going to say WifiTether works on ICS on my NS4G. Nice work around!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

I see 15 downloads on my mediafire and I guess there will be more from original website and no feedback at all.
Please let me know if this works for all ICS builds or it just worked on FB21 i'm currently on.

Wow what incredible timing. I've been trying to tether to my PS Vita all morning with no luck, but this worked! Thanks for the info!
I'm currently running DARKSTAR ROM on FB21.

Thanks so much. I need tether for work! I can finally switch to ICS!
Yay!

There should be new versions of this app available on play store.
Did you try them?
If yes than I'm out of ideas.
Till now it worked with every rooted ICS OS.

It worked! It never occurred to me that it should be available on google play. t worked like a breeze, I only selected Generic ICS.
Again, thanks a lot for the tip

Sorry if this comes off stupid but what is the advantage of this over the hot spot hack that was created for ICS?

Hotspot hack was for deodexed roms for long time.
This was an alternative for those who wants to run odexed rom.
Now you have hack for both odexed and deodexed rom and this app
is kinda obsolete.
Think of this as a possible alternative.

Thank you for your reply. I have noticed that I sometimes have to reinstall the hotspot after updating one of your newer, ever more awesome kernels but it is still working. I mostly run odex or convert deodex to odex on my roms.

I suggest rooting your wife's epic touch 4g because it is extremely easy now. Even I did it. I believe there are tons of wifi tethering out there for root. But I am sad because I LOVE foxfi too. I hope they do get support for ICS soon.

i'm rooted myself but didn't want to root the wife's phone.
I might just have to now. Or go with easy tether

I rooted my E4GT the other evening in less than 15 minutes. There are several great One-Click methods to root your phone it all depends on what your current phone firmware is and whether you want to go to the latest release. I decided to take my phone from FH13 to the latest leak FI03 with a one-click. You will need a PC, your usb cable and the single download available on the following links.

I was so excited to upgrade to JB didn't even think about this until I tried using it today. I was about to make a thread until common sense kicked in. Glad I searched before I posted or I would have been burned at the stake.
:silly:

It works on PA rom, not on leaked Touchwiz. I have nandroids of both, if need tethering, restore PA, it takes few minutes only.

CyanogenMod 10 and AOKP have it built right in. Works flawlessly.
As far as Touchwiz roms, though, nothing is working yet.

Is it a restriction in Jellybean that prevents third party wifi tether apps from working which the Android developers did, or is it just a compatibility issue which will be fixed in future updates of Jellybean or the tether app?

As mentioned in last 2 posts, it does work on some JB roms, so it's not a JB limitation.

Delete all of the tether apps you've installed, wipe Dalvik cache, and use the native tethering app. blue tooth or usb are the only options

Ya I'm sure it works on Verizon just fine. Youre in the sprint forum. Sprints hotspot is setup differently which is why verizons has a hack and sprints doesnt. I could flash a stock verizon rom to my sprint phone and tethering will work.Sprint ****d our hotspot capabilities with the update. I will say tho and it must be some random fluke that while running a leak, LIH I believe, the hotspot worked once or twice when I tried it.

Same Here, will be very glad when we get this solved.

Detailed Problem Description
I have searched and read quite a bit on this issue and do not have a clear understanding of what is actually the core issue here. Best I can tell, Sprint changed the interface/API to something with JB that prevents 3rd party tething. If that is accurate, not sure what that is specifically. If that is the case, it doesn't explain why it supposed works on some JB ROMs. Similarly, if it works in ICS and not JB, one would think that the API would not be the issue.
Several have implied that the native CM10 tether works since it is based on AOSP; however, mine will present as an AP and allow clients to connect but the data just doesn't pipe through. On that note, I have seen reports that non-TW ROMs work.
I am clearly not the expert on this matter but would find it useful is someone that does have real insight could clear the rumor air on what is and isn't really the issue.

Works!
This is an old thread, but if you're here, don't despair. Works like a charm for me (stock, rooted sprint s3) following the links in qbking77's video: Free Wifi Tether/Hotspot for the Samsung Galaxy S III on Jelly Bean

Phone Freezes right after 4G is turned on

My epic 4g touch freezes right after I turned on 4G data connection. It just happened today and it happens every time I turn 4G on. It never froze before when I used it. Anyone know how to fix this?
The only thing that changed from before to now is me updating my avast, google search, and adobe air. Could one of these be the problem?

Stock Rooted GB27. I did use the adblocker in rom toolbox but that was a while ago and 4G was working fine back than. This only started yesterday. What I mention above is what I did the day before it freezes when 4G connection is on.

You could try a re-flash, that may clear it up.
Romtoolbox sometimes doesn't play nice with jb.
Also you can try adhostblocking zip, using cwm.

I was on stock rooted FL24. 4G data was working for weeks when I was on GB27. Then out of no where, it just started freezing when I turn 4G connection on.

Try rest- installing your modem, go to Rwilcos's repository, find Jb roms get a GB08 one click modem and GB27 one click modem download both, extract the GB08 and install. Test your 4g, if it solves the issue test for a while then flash gb27 and see how that goes.

No. I have never drop the phone. I tried again today and once 4g connected, the phone was responsive; but once I saw the arrows light up for data going in or out, it freezes right away at that point.

I think I figured out what caused the freeze. I think it was avast security. After I uninstalled it, 4G was working again. Then when I reinstalled, 4G freezed again. So I uninstalled and it's working again.

Now why would you install something like that on your phone?
