I need some clarification regarding android and radio baseband.
I'm running latest cm-11 nightly and my baseband version is XXUEMK1
Is this radio included in the cyanogenmod ROM or is it a separate partition that wont get updated with a ROM flash?
I've found the thread with a list of different radio ROMS for the i9305. Are these optimized for different countries or will they work regardless of country?
Is there a way to backup my current radio if I want to try a different radio and need to revert? XXUEMK1 is not listed in the thread with all the ROMS.
Found some information in another tread:
Baseband / Modem / Radio - This is the software that manages your connection to wireless networks, be that voice or data. Unlike unrooted users, you can download and flash any number of i9300 (Versions for other models WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE) or i9305 radios pulled from official ROMs. I wouldn't waste too much time on them. Usually what your official ROM comes with in your country / for your carrier, is the most optimised for you. Try a few by all means but don't waste time testing every last one.
Be aware that Samsung official ROMs come with a baseband. Often this means Samsung based custom ROMs may also do so. Some ROMs which install using the Aroma installer (A kind of set-up wizard) may give the option to not flash the baseband. AOSP ROMs almost never come with a baseband. When you flash a ROM withotu a baseband, the previous baseband remains. You can by all means, mix and match ROMs and basebands. You are not tied to the baseband with the same build number as the ROM. For example, if you are on XXEMB1 ROM, you definitely do NOT have to stay on the XXEMB1 baseband.

I've kind of same issue.
My SIII LTE is working fine with CM10 but when I upgrade to CM11, it doesn't work anymore :crying:
I've almost everything working apart from the MODEM and for a phone, I'm sorry to say that it is annoying
I'm using my S II with OMNI ROM and I miss my S III :crying:
Any help will be welcome :good:
I attached a screenshot of my system.

I installed CM 7.1 and noticed that downloads show as H but uploads are showing up with 3G. I have an SGH-I897 but have noticed that my baseband is T959TLJL3, an i9000 baseband. Is this a good situation? Is there a more appropriate modem I should be using? I've also noticed Tasker is having problems consistently switching between 2G and 3G.
I've also lost all access to the service menus; is this due to the baseband or CM? I'm not sure if that's code Samsung open sourced (and thus could be in CM) these menus or if I have to temporarily switch back to stock rom to access those menus?
Thanks,
BB45
CM7 is based on the i9000 roms so they use i9000 modems, which is perfectly ok for captivate. you can try other CM7 modems from the sticky thread in dev section for better speed. There is not much difference between i897 and i9000 modems except H symbol tho...i guess service menus u r talking about are Samsung specific....CM7 is AOSP based rom..so any Samsung feature wont work on it....

Hi there! I was excited to get S5830IXXLK3_S5830IBTULK1_BTU firmware from samfirmware.com and flash it and use the latest custom kernel from Rafael.Baugis with it.
When I flashed 201212101860-E3-boot.img it completely killed my service. I enter the settings and it reports out of service. I says there is signal strength but I cant connect to the network or anything. I am on 3 (three) [H3G]
I tried 2 other custom kernels also: odin-kernel.tar from hell_lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=20221470 and: PDAnitKernelNoSplash.tar from axyllum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026654)
Neither worked and did the same as Rafael's kernel. I thought a lot about it and tried flashing different basebands etc to see if that changed anything but to no avail I was stumped once again.
I went to a s5839i F/W from samfirmware.com S5839IBULE2_S5839IVOPLE1_VOP and the kernel works fine with that so in conclusion its the latest XXLK3 F/W that stops it working? Did Samsung 'fix' XXLK3 to not work with custom kernels? guess I go back to the old F/W and such :crying:
How can I solve this and get the kernel to work with XXLK3? I tried Alucard1989pl Deodex version of XXLK3 and same problem no service.
EDIT: Tried GT-S5830i Czech Republic 2012 November Android 2.3.6 S5830IXXLK2 S5830IXEZKL1 So far it works so its not the latest but its fine with the customs =D shame about XXLK3 though
I have a s5839i that came with stock BULE2 firmware
It now has XXLK3 (XXLK1 baseband) and it works fine with rafaelbaugis
Samsung will never "fix custom kernels", they directly allow people to modify their kernel by posting the sourcecode on their site
What country and carrier do you have?
Does the stock XXLK3 kernel give you service?
Interesting

I am in the UK and my Carrier is H3G it is also the s5839i PAYG from three.co.uk it orginally had PDA: S5839iXXLD4 CSC: S5839iH3GLC2 MODEM/Phone: S5839iNELD1 but I lost that as I could not/or know how to back up from the phone as its my first Android device and indeed first smartphone too.
Maybe there is a particular bug with my firmware? though, neither XXLK3 nor the deodexed one worked, then again maybe its the CSC?

Yes. I would not have even bothered flashing the custom if it did not
I went to S5830i firmware to get CWM recovery using the David Jacket method but that was the only time it worked as the latest CWM kernels from Raf don't work on my device they jus stick on first screen. The e3 ones are ok though. Kinda buged me as I bought the CWM recovery pro app when I had it enbedded and working not I cant use :crying:
I'm sure there is a bug with this firmware, also see this thread. dNik17, the reason you can't get service even though you have signal is because for some reason, Android refuses to read our device's IMEI number on XXLK3. When your service was dropping out, if you had looked at your IMEI number in phone settings I can pretty much guarantee you it would have been blank at that time.
I have experienced this problem with the stock XXLK3 kernel as well as Rafael's and Hell Lock's. It does seem to be somewhat kernel dependent (and also possibly ROM dependent), for instance if you flash between stock and custom kernels it often fixes or recreates the problem. If you go into testing mode and turn off the radio and then turn it back on that sometimes fixes it also.
However, I think I may even have experienced it with stock ROM, stock kernel. I tried lots of different variations of ROMs and kernels in an attempt to nail down what exactly is going on but the issue seems to be quite unpredictable at times and difficult to repeatedly reproduce. I do know that XXLK3 has an updated stock kernel so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
XXLK2 was fine and had no such problem.
@makeyourself thanks for the info! I am currently reverted to XXLK2 with latest Rafael.Baugis, I gave up hope of it working properly xD. I did have a back up of the partition with the IMEI info in but I did not try restoring it. I backed it up using galaxy toolboox.
I see your cooking a rom!!! good luck with that, I have tried using the kitchen a few times and but I cant seem to get the rom imported properly from the stock rom from samfirmware. I wish you more luck than I had!

Thank you mate, appreciate it :good:. Yeah I did use dsixda's kitchen just to kick things off and deodex the ROM. I use Debian, a Linux distro day-day anyway and I think that helps when it comes to extracting firmwares in tar format etc.
Yeah, the XXLK3 issue is a bit of an odd one, I don't think the efs partition is being corrupted or wiped as the IMEI number comes straight back if you switch kernels / ROMs / firmwares or occasionally just by effectively rebooting the phone. For whatever reason the ROM or the firmware is just refusing to read the efs information that is still sitting there intact. I'm sure someone will work out exactly what's going on soon anyway!
you flashed the "PHONE"(MODEM) in Odin? i think was the Modem.md5 , it comes from other country, i had that problem, just flash the Modem.md5 of my country (colombia)(MODEM_S5830M_WHLE2.tar)

No I don't think it can be that because I'm from the UK and downloaded the UK XXLK3 firmware. But also XXLK2 has the same modem and works fine.

I tried many different modems as I thought that was the logical issue but none worked with the custom kernels and XXLK3. The only time I had XXLK3 working was on the stock kernel. I am guessing that there is some difference in XXLK3 kernel that is not addressed in the custom kernels yet.
I would concur that its a problem reading the IMEI.
XXLK2 (Czech) is working nice for me atm with XXLK1 modem.
I think its wise to stick with the XXLK2 firmware at the moment.
There is definitely something weird with the S5830i, when I flashed the deodexed lk3 from this site it simply refused to boot until I flashed the Rafael img and kernel. It does have perfectly fine service though.

I agree its working nice for me at the moment. I am using the deodexed version from Alucard1989pl :highfive:
I've learned to stay away from custom kernels because each of them are unidimensional - developers use a source code from Samsung that's always incomplete and behind the release, and each dev. works for his device, that might be a S5830c (Rafael), a Chinese S5830i (hell_lock) or the more common among users here Indian S5830i. Guess what? each variant is different, something might work on one (phone book contacts, headphones, signal strenght, 3g) but not on others. That's why I don't approve the use of "universal" next to "kernel" - sure it boots all of them, but do everything works?
I would prefer kernel developers join the android kernel kitchen project, and find ways to add their mods there, so that every user could mod their own kernel.
When it comes to custom roms, you should never flash a full wiping package (repartition) that was not meant for your phone. Always Splitfus the new rom, and replace csc, phone and bootloader with your original ones.
Hi there,
We tried to update a telstra branded P7320T Gtab (Honeycomb 3.2) to the ICS releases based off the 4.0.4 drops from Scandanavian providers for the P7320 i.e Arlics Rom (this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923371 ).
Everything works fine; however 4G APN's do no register, this is most likely a Kernel/Qualcom band mismatch with the Telstra baseband and the updated kernel version in the ICS builds.
Arlics rom does not contain modem/basebands so it is most likely the updated kernel drivers in the 4.0.4 drops misbehaving with the P7320T baseband used by Telstra and Telecom NZ's trail.
Reverting to the Telstra stock solves the problem.
This was tried off a Test Telecom NZ LTE APN (no UMTS functionality - UTMS works ok however).
I would like to hear from any Telstra Australia users who know they are in LTE areas whether or not they get LTE on Gtabs running this rom.
- Apologies for posting here; and not in the thread, the forum policy prevents me from posting their.

Similar experience
I had a similar problem. When I flashed the leaked rom (which wasn't from a Scandinavian provider, by the way, but from a Polish one - forums got it wrong), LTE stopped working. Haven't tried Arlicc's, reluctant to especially now that it seems abandoned.
Sad that the 7320 gets so little love Official ICS release here in Norway has been delayed yet again for the umpteenth time.
You should try the latest version available (XXLPI - to be installed by Odin, no wipe necessary). It seems much better at switching between 4G and GSM/CDMA than the early ICS OTA version I used to have (the one the Arlicc's ROM is based on).

Are you using that on Telstra's network ? Can you post the baseband version?
Sorry, I'm using it in Poland however it's dedicated for other parts of Europe. It contains an upgrade to baseband version P7320XXLP7.
Did not succeed
Until I downgraded this to the last NCM version (a Honeycomb version) again, I couldn't get LTE to work. The TEN Ice Cream Sandwich version from 5.12 did not permit LTE, despite being a Norwegian carrier and me being in Norway.
Hello xda Community,
I've downgraded the baseband on my p880 to v10h due to some issues with GPS and provider signal.
I've used some custom roms before and the issues appeared at some update when I was on MoKee rom but I can't remember which update it was. The downgrade improved the phones performance and I have no issues with GPS and signal.
My Question: If I Flash a custom rom, - will it also update my Baseband? Say I'll flash a 4.3 Rom (I'm currently on 4.0.3) will it update my Baseband aswell to v20x?
Thanks in advance.

Don't think so. I haven't even really seen any indication that the community understands HOW to update the baseband firmware. This phone has the radio on an entirely different chip with dedicated flash and ram for it. There are soft switches to throw (look but do not touch) in the hidden menu that switch the USB port over to it for flashing but nobody seems to know how to make use of that knowledge other than the official LG utilities. Flashing a third party ROM is entirely about replacing the unencrypted/unsigned partitions on the main application processor's flash.
Can anyone help me with this.
All the other versions of the J7 Prime (G610F & G610M) have recieved 7.0 Nougart update 6 months ago.
My phone is pretty much the same underneath as the rest of these, No my phone is not carrier locked.
I'm not the only one having this issue, there are a lot of people in the Philippines, Pakistan and here in New Zealand who are wanting this update and cant get it.
Samsung wont tell me anything no matter how much I ask their help desk and support team
I feel like as a customer I deserve to at least know why I haven't got this update but the rest of the world has, and not get continuously told to turn auto updates on when its already on.
Same device bro
Bro, i am a Y variant and i'm on PH. We don't have a choice but to install custom rom to taste the nougat android. Just root your phone, install TWRP then install custom rom like NovaOS or Lineage OS 15.1 for J7 Prime. Just search it and you can find it.
Same issue here...just installed Xenos Rom and its more than enough for me with the features....there are other roms as well
same ;(
Ah, those lazy Samsung coding teams...
My condolences, but you can always install the ROM closest to stock.

I actually downloaded their Nougat based stock rom and flashed it using ODIN. No problems so far... it's just that you won't be able to use their country specific apps which I think is not a big deal.

There are no specific apps for Philippines G610Y except when you purchase through a Telco where settings like boot screen / default web pages all point to the Telco. Flashing Aussie Official G610Y ROM should be fine. In fact this should be a good base to create a custom ROM as it may contain updated drivers and the like.
I been running the Nougat Note FE XenOS v.1.1 without any problem so i dont need to worry bout waiting for an update from OTA

One minor problem I have encountered so far now is whenever I switch to 3G/2G on network mode, it doesn't survive the reboot. It reverts nback to 2G/3G/LTE mode. Other than that the Stock ROm is stable so far. Battery life is incredible.

Need to troubleshoot 1x1. First, I noticed you are using Oxygen kernel. It could probably be an incompatibility with this one.
Another, which I can think of is incompatibility of CSC part if you didnt change your original.

It was still present when I was still using the stock kernel. About the CSC though I have no idea. But maybe you're right because I flashed the original CSC tar.md5 file that came straight from the stock Aussie Nougat ROM. I don't know how I can change it. (Perhaps flash the stock CSC from MM?)

I checked my csc if it changed , and yes it was changed together with xenos. So it might be something else. But then there are CSCs which are not multi CSCs. So i could be wrong.
Edit: ok i did some googling. CSC doesnt affect network selection its the baseband part. You can install phone info samsung to check what versions you are in.

Just tried flashing the old MM modem.bin Seems to work like a charm. Although the network mode still reverts the 2G/3G/4G mode, I'm getting consistent 2G signals now and no more signal drops. I just use 4G whenever I use the phone outside where there is no wifi or when I use Navigation apps like Waze. I assume it'll get the 4G/LTE signal when the signal is strong enough.

Can you kindly guide me on how to flash modem.bin? I flashed NZ Nougat stock ROM on PH-bought G610Y and I'm having problem switching network mode when using dual sim. If I disable sim 2 I have no problem. But when both sims are enabled I can't swith sim 1 from 2G only to 4G/3G/2G. Switching doesn't do anything. It's stuck in 2G only.
Do I simply flash the file that starts with "CP"?
Update: I went ahead and flashed the CP file from Marshmallow and problem is fixed. Thanks for the tip!

I am experiencing problems with the new facebook app on XenOS v.1.1 FB is important for me because I need it for work. So, I decided to flash the New Zealand Nougat G610Y. Here are the steps I took for successful installation official nougat on Philippine based phone:
1. I flashed latest XTC G610Y MM so all partitions contain XTC (Philippines) based settings/customizations (BL / AP / CP / CSC)
2. I flashed G610YZTU1BRC3 Nougat (BL / AP) only which means CP/CSC remains XTC (xtc is multi CSC)
3. after step 2 finishes flashing from ODIN, it will encounter an error, but it will go to recovery mode
4. at recovery mode, I simply reboot the system and enjoyed a fresh copy of Nougat
I did not encounter any problem with network selection and tested rebooting it as well. Hope that helps your problem.
Please Assist me on this (i mean step by step instructions..)
