Consider all the Samsung models, and each has a modem.bin file. Has anyone tried all the Samsung model version modems to see how they play with the SGT here in the USA.
I wanted to start testing, but that will take a bit if time. If someone has already tested all the modem.bin files, then I will wait.
Thanks
I tried all the T959 vibrant modems, and got only voice+EDGE. I have tried all the J## modems and the KC# tab modems, and got 3g but no voice.
I'm 100% sure it's a restriction that is done at the same level as the data blocking they do by IEMI, but there is no folder to delete to get around the restriction like the IEMI block.
Thanks ranger, thats good to know, wish we could get a sticky just for modem tries. Which would have a relationship of the modem release #, and what result it rendered.
UPDATE ----> There is a Sticky in the Dev section that Dark started.

I've searched for days through XDA forums but I finally gave up searching for answers and decided to start this thread in hopes of getting help.
I have a stock Captivate running Android 2.1
I would like my phone to be running:
1. I900 Galaxy S Rom - European Version
2. a modem file which will enable the US 3G radio that's built into the Captivate.
My understanding is that simply installing a European Rom version will take away the phone's capability to connect to the 850mhz frequency of ATT since the European Galaxy S only supports 900/1900/2100 bands so installing the correct modem file is important.
I don't care which Rom is used but a Froyo Rom would be nice.
Can anybody please tell me what files I need to download (tar, pit, csc, md5, etc.) and how to use them (which exact slots to put the files in using Odin 3).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much!

There's a couple other ROMs that are similar in nature.
Didn't someone get JME Rom working on CDMA Sprint Tabs? By changing the build name around?
I cant find the post, but who ever it is, please give us more details. How'd you do it? Do you recommend it? How is it holding up? Does it brick anything (GPS, MODEM?)
Thank you!
I did it to my Sprint Galaxy Tab, original post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929898)
I had to remove movinand.mst and it flashed fine using Odin, I just followed the directions there.
HOWEVER, the way I did it will make the Tab WIFI Only with no known way to get back until someone can figure out how to dump the sprint stock modem.bin.
That is fine with me as I did not want the 3G, but did want the Bluetooth HID. (now my Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard work)
You might be able to pull the modem.bin file out as well as movinand.mst but I have no idea what that would do, sounds very risky.
M.
did that brick your GPS though?
I use it as WIFI Only as well.
How does the JME run on the tab?
Can you upload the exact JME rom you updated for us CDMA users who are kind of new at this? That is if you still have the version you edited for the Sprint?
If there's one thing I learned with flashing ****.... as long as you don't **** with the radio you can't really mess it up. With that said, don't flash a new modem (radio)
exactly then, cant we just have all these ROMs take out the Modem.bin, wouldn't it be flashable to CDMA then? or no
Yes it borked the GPS as I flashed with the modem file to get rid of sprint, works fine so far and I can use my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard now, had to reinstall all apps though.
I just Flashed Roto's JMG last night, will see how that goes.
I used the ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763 and took out movinand with 7zip.
I assume you could take out the modem file as well or try the update version.
I would put in a request to Rotohammer to make one for the CDMA tabs without modem and movinand to be safe.
No idea if flashing without the modem file will fry the CDMA modem as I cant test this do to no one being able to get the stock Sprint modem dumped yet.
M.
I have no experience in doing this so I was curious on just how someone would go about dumping the stock Sprint Modem? also would we be able to use the epic 4G's modem since it's similar? or would that not work due to the epic having 4G and being a different device? If I knew what direction to go I'd certainly be interested in getting in to this more.
Now if someone can just confirm how to flash without killing the modem, we'll be cooking with gas!

I know that file name is floating around as a flashable "almost stock" ROM that has the Epic 4G modem inserted, so you can recover your sprint tab but lose gps. I would get someone who has already borked their gps by flashing to test it and see if it fixes it before everyone goes flashing this ROM.
If I was doing a restore using the files posted I would not flash the modem.bin. That's what breaks the Tab, not the software.

Well you can't get any worse, so try this file to load;

Hi,
I'm under the impression that the radio is different from the modem, therefore my previous efforts to fix a problem with the auto-connection to HSDPA/3G were somewhat in vein. If I am correct in this, it could be the reason that my "phone information" settings won't stick (revert to default) and my phone, once connected to EDGE, will not automatically reconnect to HSDPA/3G.
Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of CWM-flashable radios? If needed, I am on the AT&T network (U.S.) with the international GT-I9000. ROM and kernel are in the signature, modem is JPY but flashing to the U.S. modem made no difference.
Thank you for your help or even your attention on the matter. I plan to write this up as a tutorial for this very problem should this solve the issue which I believe it will.
All the information you need is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945
It's telling me it's a bad link. I'll try to receive it through search and post the link if I get it.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945
I flashed JPP to see if that can fix the issue as it's compatible with the U.S. I'll edit again once I go outside in order to see if it auto connects to HSDPA once I'm out there. It's a good test IMHO as I only have the 1900mhz band of wcdma therefore it doesn't penetrate the walls of my place of work.
edited the post above to fix the URL
I went out and checked. It still requires me to go into wcdma only and then back to wcdma/gsm in order to get hsdpa, also, the changes in phone information still don't stick. I need the actual radio file in a CWM flashable zip. Also, after changing modems to JPP, speed test doesn't work. I'll just uninstall from the market and re-install since the data connection is still works and see if there is any improvement on that front.
Which one is the radio file as opposed to modem file .
jje
EDIT: It's in the modem but not included with the modem as far as I know. Specifically, I need to flash a new Radio Image zip file. I found some through cyanogenmod but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to use those as they may only be working with cyanogenmod ROMs.
Modems and CSC files flash from an update zip via the rom kitchin .
http://romkitchen.org/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703

I edited the post. Those modems don't contain an updated radio image or any radio image, i think. It's more a matter of finding the right radio image file to flash.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940095 It's midway through the first post. I'm not sure if I should flash it with Darky's ROM or not since it's cyanogenmod but I think as long as I switch to the JPY modem it should be fine.
Interesting.... I did some reading on the kitchen modems and apparently they flash a new radio image in the modem where others don't. I looked at my status through "about phone" and my IMEI SV changed from 01 to 02. When I get back outside to where I know I have HSDPA access, I will report on whether this fixes the lack of auto connect to HSDPA from EDGE.
There is no such thing as a radio for galaxy s devices, that is a htc phone term.
Instead, we have modems. The issue you're talking about is probably rom related.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
So, you're saying a re-flash of the ROM then.... I think I've had this issue since Darky's 9.2 and I've flashed through the betas and I'm on 9.3 stable now. I have also done a wipe but not a repartition in Odin. I think Odin is a cleaner install then CWM but it's just so convenient to flash right from the phone. I guess I'll do that then.
Thanks.
I have a question I'm hoping an expert can answer. I pretty new to the Android world so I'm trying to wrap my head around a few things..
So I bought a (prepaid/locked) S5830T from a store over here, and proceeded to unlock and upgrade to the latest
stock Gingerbread firmware (2.3.6). So now when I boot up, instead of S5830T, I get S5830. All good.
Now the phone runs fine, but I have an issue with 3G data in particular.
The "T" suffix appears to relate to the 'Telstra network' (which the phone was originally locked to).
According to this link - http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies
Telstra operates on 900Hz / 1800hz for 2G and 850hz / 2100hz for 3G.
The carrier I am on (Optus) operates on 900Hz / 1800hz for 2G and 900hz / 2100hz for 3G.
So I've flash the modem file from the Optus firmware package (Modem_S5830_XWKT3) hoping that that would enable
the 3G band that is currently not working.
(What happens ins 2G/"H" works fine, but when the phone switches to "3G" I lose all data connections)
But Alas, I still have the same problem..
So I'm wondering is there hardware in the phone that is preventing connection to the network, or do I need to find a more
appropriate Modem file that operates on the frequencies above?
Many Thanks!

Can you find the original Telstra firmware, extract the modem from that and flash it?
Can you get hold of a Telstra SIM and see if you still have the same issues?
The T doesn't necessarily signify Telstra but just a slightly different version of the S5830
It's the same with SGS2 there is a GT-i9100 and GT-i9100T (I have the T version purchased in Thailand so nothing to do with Telstra)
Because I have used this phone in Australia also, I've noticed that T modems perform better on my SGS2 than non-T versions.
I've found Optus coverage (in Melbourne) to be pathetic so I always have to ensure I'm using a T modem when I'm there.

Hey, Thanks for the reply ApriliaM3.
Yeah I know the T doesn't necessarily mean Telstra, but was pretty sure it meant there was a different modem to stock (as with your SGS2).
Which is why I reverted back to stock. I thought that may have been more accommodating of all frequencies..
That's very interesting what you say regarding your T modem.
I believe I can extract the modem from my base backup, so will give that a try.
As for the Telstra sim, that might be a little harder, but I'll try the modem first and then try to get a sim.
Thanks for the info!

I get the impression that my requirement for a T modem when I'm in Melbourne has more to do with Optus and their pathetic coverage than it has to do with the modem. When I'm in Thailand, it doesn't seem to matter what modem I use... they all get good signals and I have no problem with data either. I'm also a member on Whirlpool but I rarely go there any more... still it's quite a handy and informative site for many things
Hi everyone,
I heard that the AT&T Note5 got an update today to include WiFi calling and the works. I am on AT&T with an n920i model and was wondering if it's possible to rip the WiFi calling from the new AT&T rom and get it working on other variants. I only ask this because I've seen T-Mobile based roms that work on other variants but include T-Mobile's WiFi calling in them.
Just wondering if someone might know or be willing to take a crack at it

I am almost positive it would have to be a ATT based rom running on our device for it to work
I'm sorry to drag this back up but I found CSC files based for AT&T and used them to replace the CSC files on my N920I. I feel like it's a step in the right direction. Anybody have any ideas?
I've been playing around trying to change csc on my 920i as well.
1. What rom are you on. I'm using Dr. Ketan's nougat rom version n8.
2. Where did you get your At&t CSC files.
I got them off this thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-t3450911
3. Can you post the CSC AT&T FILES that you are using.
The one's I got work but is buggy! Not sure if it's something I did or that the files are from the At&t note7.
TIA

I performed all my csc file changes on stock Marshmallow firmware, originally XSA I believe. I used files from this dev's tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392949
The actual tool will not work on the Note5. It performs a device check and fails to proceed after identifying the model we're using. I ripped the actual CSC files out (Marshmallow ones, not Nougat) and manually replaced them using the TWRP file manager on my device.
My device booted up, and identifies as an N920I with an AT&T CSC. I even have the option to enable Enhanced LTE services, but selecting the option doesn't actually activate it. (I also have an S8+ that is the AT&T variant so I do have WiFi calling and HD Voice activated on my account) I think it's because of the actual ROM, but I'm not sure. I'll have more time to test things out now that I'm done with exams.

Did same - ripped - files from devs files.
Though the files I got are from a nougat Rom and I'm using on nougat Rom.
Experience is mostly same as you somethings work some don't.
If you have the At&t S8+ can you roo the csc files from there?

I'm afraid I can't do any modifications to my S8+ because of a legal obligation to Samsung's Insights program, but I can trying finding the firmware itself online and attempt to rip CSC files from that.
On the other hand, it may not be worth the hassle. Reading up on the S8 forums, it seems how the handle CSC for the S8 devices is different, adding a new partition called userdata which holds the files for the carriers (not sure if I understood that right though). If I had more technical know-how, I would try to port a full AT&T rom that can be flashed through TWRP and try that on my device, but I have no real idea how to approach that.

Still It was an idea......
Just FYI carrier wifi calling has never ever been successfully (or even remotely working that I've ever seen or recall) ported to another device (same device or not) or firmware. It's been attempted since day one of tmo releasing their wifi calling. So can tell you CSC edits are a waste of time along with ripping all the WiFi calling bits from att firmware and throwing it in yours. Pretty sure even the CM guys tried porting it to tmo devices running cm and got no where with it way back in the day.
Trying to flash an att firmware (minus the Crap that'll fail, bootloader,etc) *might* work as long as you have an att sim but it might even rely on modem.bins too which would most likely fail to flash since you couldn't do it in the past via odin either. Not sure on that one because I use to always have tmo devices and service so never had to bother with that.

I think I've seen some users on the s7 forums saying they actually got it working. Maybe it was T-Mobile though...
Regardless, you've given me an idea regarding the CSC. The files I used were from the s7, but they were the qualcomm variant. The Note5 is all exynos variants, so using qualcomm files may cause incompatibility.
But if I pull CSC files from the AT&T Note5 rom, then it might work.
Everything is a long shot. The Note5 isn't my primary device anymore which is why I feel alright taking risks and flashing different things. It's like how that saying goes, you'll miss all the shots you never take.
