I am still on android version 4.1.2, with a non stock modem running cwm recovery and clean rom 4.8.
My question is do I need to mess with my modem before flashing clean rom 5.0?
Do I have to worry about my Android version if I wish to flash pac man rom thats 4.3?
Sorry for being a newb!

You don't have to mess with your modem when you flash any rom.
Thanks! So if I flash clean rom 5.0 ill keep the modem I flashed? Some roms contain modems?

As Ranger stated....your rom will not be touched unless you choose to change it..
Cleanrom does not contain a modem.bin.....g
Ive been having problems with my modem which is why ive changed it. Its mainly when im connected to wifi but not always, it says I also have 4g but I cannot make/receive calls or texts.
So simplest way to change it would be to select a rom that has a built in modem?
Thanks again

4G is the data side of the connection. The sms and voice goes through the GPRS connection. They are not related. It sounds like a location problem or antenna problem.
Just changing the modem is easy - download and flash.
Does your sim work correctly in another phone?
Ive tried variois modems to no avail. I cannot test my sim bc I don't have another phone to test it with.
Ive decided to unroot and reset counter and return to stock so I can bring it to an at&t store. I did part of the process last night but I think I did it backwards.

If you can offer insight please follow the link. As you will read I think thats what I have to do just looking for a "yes" if I am correct.

I can't offer a link. . . when you do these things to your phone you void your warranty.
I'm sure I will get flamed for being old fashioned or called a douchebag, but everyone is warned about this.

Hi, today after I installed the newest version of the Jedi XP-9 rom, I sent 1 text message, received a response and have since haven't been able to receive any more. I tested with my roommate and various other friends so I don't know what the problem can be. Is there any fix for this or would flashing a new rom solve this problem?
Theres a modem that you need to flash with it. It should be on the same page as where u got the rom from.

in the modem section, there is no AT&T option, I think it comes with the AT&T by default
also the rom order I went in was Jedi 3.3 -> cleanrom > Jedi XP-9 and this is where my problems started
Yes its does come with the stock att modem but there is a modem that I had to flash because I had the same issue.

Actually I don't know if this fixed it. It worked last night and then this morning I had some more problems not receiving texts. I reflashed the .zip and I got about 6 at once, and then again nothing came back. I made a new APN and googled the correct AT&T APN settings and that appears to be working. I'll update this thread if it stops working again
edit: it's almost like the messages are held off, but if I open up my web browser and start navigating to pages I'll get 4-5 texts at once, when I know they were sent minutes apart
When you flashed the modem did you give it 2-3 minutes for the modem to set in.

Yes when they problem first started, I gave it 10 minutes (as it said in the Jedi thread) after I flashed the rom and rebooted.

thanks for helping me out
Try flashing again with a full wipe. I know its a pain in the a$$ but usually it works after a couple of tries.

Full wipe, formatted system, wiped dalvik cache, installed only bare minimum apps from playstore and the problem persists.
I just got off the phone with an ATT representative and they said I should go get a new SIM card tomorrow. Do you know if they will check if I've installed a custom rom? Or tripped that yellow triangle counter? Should I look into fixing that before I go into the AT&T store?
No they wont. You just go in and they just install it for you or they may just give it to you to install. Should be easy with no worries.

What exactly are you flashing in Odin (Mobile or otherwise)? Most Roms only provide zip files that are flashable in custom recoveries. Odin is mainly used for switching recoveries. If you want to switch recoveries that often, Naddict always takes the latest and makes a flashable zip directly from the recovery itself. If you want older, he might make one for you.
I've flashed everything with it. Modems can be fickle but I find putting it on root of SD card works well.
Mobile Odin is great if you wish to keep stock recovery and flash stock tars while remaining rooted. Not everyone wishes to have a custom recovery or ROM but would like to use root apps. Believe Mobile Odin author is one such person.
I've used it since it came out. Never any issues.
That's kinda what I want to do is try some different modems and update my prls. I'm running the latest synergy r484 and the 3g/4g can't make up its mind and my service bars aren't consistent since the update. I've used the previous rooms by synergy and never had this issue. I don't know what they changed being somewhat of a noob to rooted customs. Thanks for the insight I'll keep researching.

So i have a epic 4gt. Ive tried a few different roms 4.2.2 and everyone i try i don't get any 3g, no swipe, and cant send or receive pic mail through mms, and also volume seems to be way lower then stock. Idk if i did something wrong? idk pls help thanks so much. I personally don't think its a rom...im leaning more towards my phone...its kinda rare that all roms i try are the same.
@firechickenmatt
Make sure that you have a ICS modem, unfortunately on AOSP, the volume is low, and the AOSP keyboard does have gesture typing, but it doesn't come with the swipe keyboard

And if you bounce back between AOSP, CM, and Tw, make sure you change modems according to the dev's instructions. Data won't work on jb roms with ics modems, same as it won't work on aosp and cm with a jb modem.

Yea, the JB update has a jb modem (GB27), ICS modems (FI27, FL24....etc,etc,) don't worry, if you go to rwilco12's android repository, they have all the modems, and there categorised by type, ( GB,ICS and JB)
OK well went back to stock for a while...but same thing happening lol I can't win...every time I turn off WiFi no signal (3g)...and I'm guessing I have jb modem hence the gb27

That's because you can't flash modems using Mobile Odin on our device. You'll have to flash a custom kernel using mobile Odin and then flash the jb modem in cwm.

You cannot use mobile odin to flash modems. You'll have to download a zip and flash via cwm (recovery). :thumbup:

brain fart it hit me right after i hit send. but i still need a suggestion on a kernel that will work. again i'm doing everything modin odin since i have no USB functionality.
i've never used CWM but i have read about it i have rooted every phone i have own, sticking mostly to stock roms for compatibility issues since i kept reading about this and that not working in this rom or that rom. but things have gotten so much better. i'm ready to explore. i'm running stock ICS and want to get some JB action on my SG2 epic touch. then again i may just upgrade to the SG4 and have the port fixed put it to stock and ebay it

I think I mentioned this to you before. You can't use Mobile Odin to flash modems. It won't work. Are you on a stock jelly bean rom? Stock ics rom? If you are on fl24 rom, use fl24 modem. If you are on gb28 rom, you have to use jb modem. If your usb doesn't work, flash a custom recovery with mobile Odin, boot into recovery, and flash modems that way. Just ensure you have a stock kernel(or custom) of the same build you currently have on your phone in zip format saved to your phone before flashing custom recovery.

sounds like a good idea.. i'll be rooting my phone tomorrow.. i'm thinking about using the radio modem from ICS version 4.0.4 released in October. how can i do that?
Once rooted, just flash any of the modems available for your model in cwm or twrp recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I know this isn't directly related to solving the problem, but before installing a different modem make sure it is a compatible modem with your carrier and phone model. Also, be sure to back up your efs because I did this before and my efs files got corrupted and I lost signal from my phone.

Mobile hotspot does not work on stock 4.3 deodexed roms without flashing the hotspot hack. You will need to find and flash the correct version hotspot hack for your rom. Ex. MA7, MC2, MK4, etc.
Do this: Flash Phil's recovery 6.0.7.9, wipe everthing, flash rom of choice (I recommend LorJay's stock deodexed MK4 without Note 3 features), upon first boot you may need to Odin flash the WiFi fix (from your PC only), then boot into recovery and flash the MK4 hotspot hack, reboot and setup phone, Success.
If for some strange reason you still get that error message when turning on mobile hotspot, I'd flash a custom AOSP ROM such as Slim ROM, Carbon ROM, etc. Those Roms have hotspot fully functioning right out of the box. Keep us posted.
Still no good. Thanks for suggestion tho. . Haven't tried asop but not a Fan. Any suggestions on wiping or formatting(how to) the internal part of phone to go from scratch.

It seems as if Sprint has done something to your phone because everything you have dine should have worked. Something isn't right. That's why I suggested trying an AOSP ROM for the time being just to test this theory. Then you can flash back to stock or whatever you choose. You could also flash a custom Touch Wiz rom that has hotspot already working. If that fails you definitely got a phone that's been altered somehow by Sprint. I've yet to ever see this but I'm sure its very possible. Just my opinion.
