Hello all. I have a I9195T (Telstra, Australia - Serranoltexx), which I took the plunge and rooted (thank you arco68!) and then installed CM10.2 direct from the CM wiki page. This is working great, but I am bit confused as to how the modem works. I appear to have retained my baseband (phew!), but wonder how this translates to using other custom ROM's from XDA etc.
If they are made for a different baseband (but for I9195) is it possible to backup the MODEM firmware, flash another ROM and then flash the MODEM over again to retain the baseband? If this is possible where do I find the MODEM firmware to back it up? I've had a search but I think I am missing the really low level understanding of how the MODEM itself fits into the ROM picture.
Any help appreciated, even if its just a search term suggestion or link.
edit: I should put my baseband is I9195TDVUAMH1, using 1800mhz LTE.

As far as i know our devices does not have any limitations concerning flashing ROMs and having an "incorrect" Modem.
I would recommend though to have always the latest modem.

So I just got an S2X from Koodo and am using it with wind mobile.
I just want to know if any one would know whats the best radio to use ?
Unfortunately, modems vary. Most just seem to work well... latest is not always better.
Anyway, to get at least some guidance, you need to specify where you are located, and what baseband you're currently using...

Im in Calgary and am using the stock koodo baseband.
Funny thing is, when it was on stock I got a decent signal, when I flashed Jedi Mind Trick the signal seemed a bit weaker (still the same stock baseband)
When I last flashed JMT, it said "unknown" for baseband. From what I hear, it may be worthwhile to re-flash a modem after doing a ROM switch.
I'm currently using TDJ's RILS-removed LC8 build. The LG3 build I understand has been pretty good for others. I'm in USA though, so I don't have any info in your area.
And when you say stock, what are you on? ICS stock: UVLE1?
Hello I have a couple questions about my T999L I am running a stock deodexed rom but the baseband and the build #s don't match baseband is MK4 and build MK7 is this a problem ? Also I am on version 4.1.2 I would like to get up to a custom 4.3 Rom what ones can I use? I had to come back to this because my wifi wouldn't work? thank for any help.
Its quiet possible that you had different Modem than your Rom. No issues. It sounds like you got this phone from someone else. They may not have flashed insecure kernel. That's the reason for Wi-Fi Not Working.
So long you don't have signal issues, its fine to keep that modem. As to 4.3 Roms, there's plenty to choose from.
OK. I have the US e980. All the ROMs say something along the lines of flash your correct modem/baseband.
Here's my question... Where are the basebands? Do threads with basebands start with some keyword?

APQ8064/MDM9x15M - This seems to be the newest one. It was on my E980 after the latest AT&T update, even though here it's listed for the Panamanian phone.
For some reason, this forum doesn't seem as organized as some other, maybe it's because this is all variants in one. But anyways try this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272177
I also wonder why roms for this phone even write radio partition. Usually flashing roms don't touch your radios. .
I would imagine if you flashed a Rom meant for one variant onto another, you would need that radio. And of course if you flash back to stock you're gonna need your original radio back. But you're right Optimusv. This forum seems so cluttered. I have about 10 links saved just for files and processes for this phone. Someone please give us an all-in-one stop link.....lol
Does anyone have a flashable APQ8064/MDM9x15M Modem? Or am I going to have to revert to stock to get it back?
Found it! I'll edit the OP for people who find this by search and such.
I had recently obtained a s3 its a T-mobile, its running 4.1.2, with the T999UVDMD5 baseband. I rooted it, flashed xposed(haha the only thing XD). Well, reading about/friends have said there was trouble with the 4.3 update so I decided to stay on 4.1.2.
However, now I've decided to flash a custom rom, and I have noticed the different labels(D2lte, D2tmo, D2usa) and I had read from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736477 "As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants" .
I have a few questions:
1.There was a baseband update, should I update it? If so, how exactly?
2.Would it be wise to flash a D2lte on This T-mobile device? I was looking at Resurrectionhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692481(originally waiting on cm11 but.. Yeah lol)
3.Looking at KitKat rooms, which ones could I flash?
4.Would it be safe, if I did flash a 4.4.2 to restore a nandroid backup of my fresh rooted stock 4.1.2.
5.Lastly, what kernel would you say use?(Sorry to ask, curiosity as to which i could flash)
I appreciate taking your time to answer my questions and have a good day!
1) custom recovery.. There are zips available to flash
2) d2lte covers all d2 devices so its safe
3)Any on the development threads
4) Yes
5) like on 3, you can flash any kernel in the development threads, experiment and see which one works the best for you!

To answer your questions:
1. You do not need to update your firmware - I'm still on MD5. Modems, however, can be flashed separately from firmware.
2. You can flash d2lte ROMs on this phone as it's all one unified build for US SGS3 variants. (I.e. T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint/Verizon SGS3 is now all built under d2lte).
3. As far as which KK ROM to flash...just try them all out and see which ones you like the best. Each ROM has different features - see which one is right for you.
4. If you don't update your firmware, then yes. (FYI, flashing a custom KK ROM does not update your firmware. However, if you flash one of the 4.3 root66 files that has firmware included, then it will update your firmware).
5. Again, try it out. It's hard to say which ROM/kernel combination will work best. I suggest you read the forums to see what people think of them.
Hope that helps.

No problem, and i forgot to say but the only time you might need to update modem is if you flash a 4.3 touchwiz ROM, other than that its not really needed unless you want to experiment and see if one gives you better results

Oh, and one more thing: DO NOT flash a ROM that is for the international version of the SGS3 (i9300). It will, most definitely, brick your phone.
Don't know if you knew that or not...just wanted to make sure.
I just got my G3 and love everything about it with Cloudy rom. Maybe it could be the first time I stay with a stock based rom rather than CM. However, the call signal seems to be very weak compared to my Nexus 4 (I'm using D850 on T-mobile network)..
Is there any different baseband (or whatever you call it - radio or modem), available for this phone? I would like to try some different baseband and see if there is any differences.... I looked up the whole xda but doesn't seem to have a thread like modem collection...

Lollipop based rom. It seems that d850 is particularly poor at receiving tmobile 4g signal... It seems to be getting att one without too much problem. Is kitkat modem better? I didn't find them to be different though.
Is therr a D850 20P radio modem available somewhere??

20P is only for D855, please dont randomely flash modems that you find on the internet
Thank you for the very constructive feedback No one is randomly flashing anything, with wreckless abandon as the 855 modem is usually accompanied by a warning by actually constructive posters.
How about oosting the latest 850 modem?

Umm if you can find the KDZ or someone whos running the latest Lollpop firmware they can probably extract it for you
Well, I started this thread and I have collected Kitkat modem and the current 20F lollipop modem for D850. It seems that these two are only available. I'm trying to upload the files but xda says the files are too big. Hopefully ATT makes some new modems to solve the issue. Compared to my other devices G3's signal is almost 10 dbm poorer than others (especially same LG made nexus 4 with 33 hybrid modem...
edit: Okay here are the links for download
for kitkat

Can anyone tell me the modem version of d850's 21q? is it the same as c1.13?

Hi. I have one of those compiled G3s with D850mainboards from Aliexpres. I cant get the GSM function running , so want to try the 850 modems. Can you refresh the modem links as mega says it is expired due inactivity? Thank you!
