Radio options??!???

I'm coming from cm10 and I'm going to flash zedomaxs high on android rom and I read I needed a stock modem to go along with it since it's basically a stock rom and there's so many which do I chose since coming from cm10??? Any help appreciated

Actually its not the modem. Those should work with any of the roms here. You are thinking of the kernel I believe. Theres only a few to choose from and it boils down to preference.
If you are going to the UVALH2 update or later, you will need a purely stock kernel. Custom ones aren't working yet.

There is a new flashable radio from jelly bean leak..

How can I tell what version ROMs are?

I'm trying to find 4.2.1 ROMs to flash, but having a hard time telling which ROMs are 4.2 unless it says it in the thread title. Is that the only way to really tell? I tried Google but I don't want to download something not for sprint. Any advice?

Read the entire op. It will say based on for example LJ7 which is sprints latest official version of 4.1.1.

Like what he said; it's in the title of the thread / OP.
Though if you're looking for 4.2.x, they'll be only AOSP roms as of now. And please only flash sprint roms.

Try the sprint sg3 original development thread. And check out the 4.2.1 slim ROM. You'll like it!

I was just looking at that one and considering it. Think I will! Thanks everyone. To update my prl, radio I need to flash back to stock and unroot right? Not sure if I need to do that or not..

You don't need to unroot, you just need to be on a TW rom for prl and profile update. To update modems(radios) just find a zip you can flash in recovery.

Fk23 vs Gb27

Is there any differences? Is it worth the time to go official jelly bean update? Or should I just stay on leaked fk23 jb?

Have you updated from fk23 to gb27? I'm still using fk23 "rooted", and was thinking of updating it to gb27... I have the Samsung simple upgrade tool, because I can't use kies to update it... If you updated using the same method, did everything work out ok?... I'm not sure if this will harm my phone...

Why not just flash the stock rooted gb27 from Garwynn and sxtp developers?

Back then when my device was running ICS, I updated my device to jelly bean 4.1.2 using the Samsung simple upgrade tool. It worked perfectly. Had no issues during the process. Afterwards, you simply root your device if you want, and you are good to go. Definitely recommend updating to the latest version GB27.

You don't have to update...just flash one of the many stock roms available in @rwilco12 repo

[Q] Any roms that aren't CM?

I have the LGOG and I'm flashing it to Boost Mobile. I need a ROM that doesn't have CM or if it does have CM it needs to have the diag port. Also I've been informed after it's flashed I CANNOT flash a ROM to it again. So if anyone is feeling nice and could inform me of the MOST stable and feature packed ROM for this phone I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks so much!

use lifeless,venom, or imperium those are your stock based choices found in the development section...unless you go with the actual stock rom... majority of our ROMs right now are aosp/cm based.. I might have left out a stock based choice... if I did it's cause those are only ones I've flashed

Thanks so much for your quick response. I noticed that most of the ROMs are in fact CM AOSP or AOKP and my flasher said neither would work. Going through the recent posts of ROMs I noticed most didn't mention what they used as source. So I figured I'd ask.

Since it won't let me edit my post, I have a followup question. After the phone is flashed to Boost will I be able to flash another ROM? My flasher says I can't flash it after its flashed to Boost.

honestly I don't know... but do somee research on flashing to another carrier not just for this phone but others and see if they are able to do it... but all in all if they say don't do it I wouldn't do it... no telling what/how they're going to flash you to another carrier so I would take their advice unless in your research you uncover something that debunks indefinitely what they're telling you

If I remember u can flash different roms but u need a back up of ya data settings such as aakey n all them important things

Can you help me flash this phone over to Boost? I'm getting all of the required progams, I was just going to do it myself but I think I'm going to need help. I have CDMA Workshop, QPST 2.7.355, QXDM 3.11.36, and WinHex. Just looking for some help. Really trying not to pay someone more than $25 to do this when I can almost do it myself.

Bump: I got it flashed over!!!! Just I have trouble with 3G I'm assuming the AAA and HA keys aren't sticking.

I've always been curious on how to do this. Can you provide some links please?

Just DM me or something.

Diag mode for cm10 /aosp

Flashing modems?

Ok now that I'm confident in my ability to flash ROMS and Kernels in the new Linux 3.0 & 3.4 versions that came with JB, is there anyone who could help me out with finding modems and flashing them and what each modem is for and etc? I really don't understand the new system as i came over from the OG EVO and from what i understand thus far, its not exactly the same as flashing radios as it was with GB or ICS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried looking through stickies but couldnt find anything.

This thread will guide you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38172219
Posts #1 through #5 where you will find links to modems. LJ7 and MD4 seem to work best. But these devices are not like HTC devices so don't put that much concern into it.

Ok thanks for the help. About updating the PRL on AOSP roms though.... I downloaded the script and ran the scripts using script manager exactly as the guide said to do so, but i cant enter diagnostics mode. Any idea why?

Won't really work on the S3... Best and easiest thing to do is make a nandroid then flash tw rom update prl and profile and then restore nandroid
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4

Ok, was just curious about that. I know about the nandroid backup and all. Its basically the same as it was with the old aosp/sense system. But thanks a lot for your help. And hopefully I'll see an improvement in my signal strength and quality. Do you have any other tips that could help?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Nope other than stick to TW roms, signal strength will be better and lte, 3g exchange is much better.
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4

Yea well it wouldnt make too much of a difference with 3G and LTE considering I'm in an area that doesnt have LTE coverage yet. And just curious here, but the synergy port from verizon IS considered a TW rom right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

yeah no lte it makes no difference. I don't know about synergy but just look in the OP it's either TW, AOSP or AOKP. If you don't have to flash gapps it's TW.

Since the update to the 3.4.x kernel the scripts don't work anymore. Flash a TW ROM and follow those instructions
