I only use my tab on wifi, so the modem has no effect on me. I want to know if I can flash any rom regardless of base band version since I don't use data. I can always omit the modem, but will it work?

T-mobile galaxy tab.
band: P1000XXJMA
kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
build: FROYO.XWJMI.Roto-JMI-v2
my current provider is Mobilicity which uses AWS network(HSDPA 1700/2100). Tab must work well on this provider since T-mobile galaxy vibrant is working so nicely with Mobilicity.
but the problem is even if i put the SIM card in the tab, the tab won't find any network. I rooted and unlocked properly.
help me~ what is wrong??
plz
please help me guys
Have some patience, that was just an hour... Anyway, did you flash a modem? Because otherwise it's not really going to work.

which modem should i flash to? is there any good rom that works with my provider??
No clue. Since you say TMobile tab works well, i'd suggest that one. However i'm not an expert by any mean, so you might want to look around/wait for more answers.

The T-Mobile US modem is the only modem known to support 1700/2100 AWS, so if you want 3G it's your only choice!

Look for the standard TMO 3G modem in Roto's modem switcher thread in the dev section.

Looking to sell my old phone to an optus user, it has JL2 installed which worked ok for Telstra but Optus seems to have a weak signal. I have a RomKitchen Rom (Android 2.3.5) installed. What is a good modem for Optus and where can I download it?
I know with the i9000T I needed to get a special modem to make it work, but I cannot find if this is the case with the P1000T.
What are the caveats of using the P1000T with P1000 roms? Do I need special modems or can I just flash the standard P1000 roms onto my P1000T?
Just use your original modem.
This T model is it Telstra modem?

hi all......I flashed my stock captivate to helly bean and my signal is dropping constantly and since I stay in India ....is there any way to get proper signals ?......please help me out ....if I need to change modem please recommend me one ......I was on vibrant before and used kb5 modem which had never run into any sort of problem ........now I'm on i9000xxjvt now ...thanks for helping
Happened to me too.
I initially flashed KG3, but right now I'm using the one that comes with LANIGHT 8.0 (totally recommend that rom btw) it's KC1 I think it works a bit better (might be just my impression).
Good luck!!

I flashed 3 different modems and now I'm getting good signals but .......when I'm calling some one there are saying my voice is not at all clear .....this happens when someone calls to me also but I can hear properly .......I initially taught rom problem I updated to hellybeans latest one and same problem .......its killing me now I'm on my gingerbread stock kk4 modem .......should I Odin back to stock or flash another rom?
If your rom is jellybean, ics, cm, miui, or similar then u need to use i9000 modems for those. See this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16843698
These modems specifically... http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html

I think the stock one is JK4 for JB. But for jamaica, I'd suggest looking at the modems your carrier is on, those would probably be the best.
Ok after doing some research i found out that the network I'm on uses the 900mhz frequency.. which modem uses 900mhz as default?

A modem with 850mhz unlocked would probably do great but what I think would be best is to find the base of your carrier's modem.

Well, JK4 is actually UGJK4. So let's say you have JK3 (UGJK3) and it works great, you know that the newer modem, JK4, will work well.
But now that I'm thinking about it, did your phone come with GB? If so, it's quite hard to us to know which modem is came with. Modems are by area so (almost) every carrier uses different one. There's a modem thread in the Dev section (stickied), you might have to try a few different one.

When i got the phone it was running Froyo which I later updated to GB.. my brother's Cappy has the UCKK4 and he's still running GB.. we got the phone the same time and both updated the same time so I'm assuming that is what I had before I upgraded to JB.. I'm on JK3 modem but i can't seem to flash JK4 or any other modem.. it always ends with an error...

Installation aborted..
I re-downloaded the file several times and still nothing.. I even changed the CWM and nothing.... I'm on the verge of giving up

U can use Odin3 v1.83 (the regular Odin) to flash a modem as well. Just pull the modem.bin out of the cwm zip of the modem u want, get into download mode, put the modem.bin in the PHONE tab/slot in Odin and flash.
Get the Odin here if u don't have it already... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33577757
If u r running a JB Rom, then u will have to use one of these modems...http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html
I have had success with the i9000ugkc1.

No need to give up, you can flash modems after modems without any problem. It just a bit time consuming.
To be safe, backup your efs folder so that if your IMEI is unknown again, you can use the backup.

From what i know of the Captivate specs...the gsm 900mhz frequency that it can operate on is just the 2g/edge network. U said u saw the H before on GB rom (custom rom or leaked firmware, i'm guessing?). That letter H can be changed to read whatever letter u want. Just saying.
So in reality the problem may not be the modems (although some modems will work better than others for sure), it may just be the network service that your provider has in your area... It may just be low/bad cell signal.
What other frequencies are used by your provider ? Compare that with the frequency band specs of the Captivate and you will get a better answer on the quality of service you should expect. Maybe your provider has a coverage map that you could compare to as well.
