Do I need to odin any new modem for KitKat (as I did with MK2 modem for 4.3) or I'll get it when I'll flash any KK ?
Roms don't include modems. You will have to Odin the radio. That's user choice on if you want to upgrade

What is the best for KK? What if I'll sty with MK2?
If you're happy with your data speeds stay where you are.

For me, updating my modem has increased both signal reception and data speeds. You can always go back if you see a drop in performance.

Confusion about modems + custom recoveries
Hi,
I have an i337m from Puerta Rico that I'm running on USA T-mobile. The radios are the initial release and I'd like to update them. I'm running Wicked V10. I've successfully (I think) done the AWS hack to get the GSM HSPA+ bands.
a) Do/Can I flash T-mobile S4 radios?
b) A little confused about flashing radios on a custom recovery. I tried flashing the MK2 radios but it obviously checked the boot loader when it failed.
Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't flash a modem made for a different device, even if they are similar.
It might be that it i sokay, but you need to research the hell out of it first and make absolute sure.
Don't just take a chance and see what happens.

Hi, I might have a chance at getting a deal on a SGH-T989D from a former Telus customer. But almost all the roms here are described as being for the SGH-T989. Are these phones not the same where you can run the same roms? Definitely don't want to buy a phone that has no developer support even if the deal is good.
It can run the same rom.

If you are on TMO you should be able to flash a TMO radio without any issues as well ..... as long as the phone is UNLOCKED ...

I'm using the Telus version (T989D) and as far as I can tell, the only difference is the button combo to get into download mode. I've flashed a number of roms from this sub forum and they don't work any differently.

Mainly to differentiate from the i9100 SGSII variants.
Also, the T989D has no exterior Telus branding.

It's really hard to get the ICS ROMs to work sometimes. They seem to be pretty finicky. I've read some users have had to do a Superwipe, flash the ROM, then wipe the data and cache again and reflash.
I can confirm that Racing's, RaverX3X's and the Cleansed ICS are all capable of running on my T989D.
Are you sure these two are identicial in terms of hardware?
then Why can't I odin flash stock T-mobile ROM?

Yes of coarse, believe me I love Telus ROM better. well not just ROM, the exterior of T989D looks even much better as hideous T-mobile logo is nowhere to be found.
Since I am on T-mobile network, I just wanted to try T-mobile stock from the core. Reinstalling drivers now, before reflashing odin.
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------
It keeps failing at the very end of flashing process. while doing this toward the end of the flashing process-> amss.bin

Has anyone tried flashing latest T-mobile stock on T989D?
I gave up on Odin flashing my T989D with T-mobile stock.
I have tried both KID and VK but both fail at the same spot. It would fail at around at 98% mark.
I flashed Telus Stock now and then rooted it again. It's running flawless.
Too bad I can not try T-mobile wifi calling. I never use wifi calling on other capable phones anyways but I wanna have all the options available
Please let me know if any Telus owners out there who have successfully odin flashed T-mobile original stock unrooted on their S II X.
also one has Corning Gorilla Glass and the other doesnt I believe the telus one doesnt have it.
but check the chart on gsmarena.com

Hi, If you want to enable T-mobile wifi calling you can pull the kernel out from the tar.md5 by using 7-zip and/or WinRAR. You should see boot.bin and or boot.tar that will have the kernel modules KinetoGAN required for wifi calling. You should be able to fine a flash package in the T-mobile section that will enable the RIL switch. I would suggest this process:
Flash stock Telus
Flash CF root
Flash RIL package for T-mob
Flash the bin file you extracted from the T-mobile ROM package
Run the CF-unroot script.
Done!
PS: I stumbled across this whilst looking for info in the SGH-T989 for making a kernel for a non-developed Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G/LTE...I know a little about wifi calling so thought I would throw that in there for you goodluck

So, question for those more knowledgable than myself.
Would I now be able to just flash one of the N7100 ROMs, flash the Rogers radio, and the Perseus kernel and have a fully functioning Rogers i317M?
Am I missing something? I'm probably missing something right.
And I don't care if I temporarily lose LTE. I couldn't give a crap about LTE.

Very little difference. ..
The OTA was likely the addition of more RIL files...and the radio image to support them..
And even more likely the update supports rural areas or new locations that sell ATT products. ..
You may not see any difference at all....g

Either one is fine. ..
The radio image is not dependent on framework or rom version. .
The only possible conflict that may occur. .is the lack of the associated RIL files the radio image uses. .
AOSP roms do contain RIL files. ..but not the complete package for the respective carrier. .
This explains the reduced signal strength. .(lack of source code from Samsung to create a complete AOSP package)..
And also the loss of service in areas otherwise covered by drivers and files included in the stock firmware image. .g

This was the reason why I decided to explore radio/modem options. I always seemed to have gotten lower signal after flashing an AOSP rom. I used to be on stock and data was much faster (noticeable too).
So would you say that these modems are worth flashing? Do they override the RIL files from the AOSP rom?

Judging by the main website for them, currently the only SGS4 variant supported (officially) is the I9505, which is definitely not T-Mobile's version: http://www.android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/

Its up to you. I personally LOVE the NB4 modem. Gives me a MUCH better signal and much faster speeds. Downloads are now 4-5 MBPS on LTE when they used to be around 1. Plus i used to get only 1 to no bars in my bedroom. Now i get 2 sometimes 3 bars reliable signal
