CWM flashable radios?

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:

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 .

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 .

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.

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.

[Q] How to flash modem?

hello.
I succesfully installed Simply Honey 3.5 revolution. The problem was when I booted my phone that it didn't recoqnised my SIM card. I have searched on these forums and found out that I need to flash my modem. I quote:
1) Why my SIM Card is not recognised?
- Because your modem is corrupted. Please flash a modem from the addons!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So how do I know what modem I need to flash, and how do I do it?
System info:
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVK
kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000xwjvh root
Build number: Simply Honey
And I live in the netherlands.

hi there, first off i am not from asia and i have not tried simply honey, although coming from darky's rom which is also coming from a european baseband, i used to need to flash a different modem for asia region.
you will need to download a multi csc for europe which can be found on samfirmware
although that site needs you to register before you can download.
then using ODIN, which i assume you already used to flash youre simplyhoney
you can just flash that file you DL'd on the Modem

Sounds like your modem is corrumpt or you need to enable 850mhz or at least install amodem that has 850
I would just flash a modem... 2 ways you can do it.
1 - CWM3; Download a CWM3 modem, put in internal SD and install zip or
2 - Odin; Put the modem file only into the Phone section(Dont flash anything else)
Here is a modem thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9874879&postcount=1
fyi, I have North American phone with a european CSC.. I don't think CSC affects SIM reading... I may be wrong

[Q] Emergency Calls Only after CM install?

I've spent the last few days trying to figure this out without any luck. I have GT-S5830D (Canadian Koodo version) on stock firmware TLKI4, unlocked with SpeakOut sim (which operates on Rogers network).
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: S5830DTLKI4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL568978 [email protected] #1
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DTLKI4
PDA: S5830DTLKI4
PHONE: S5830DTLKI4
CSC: S5830DTLSKI4
In this stock firmware, I have no issues at all. Everything works fine, can place calls, WIFI, GPS, data all works. If I flash a new rom to the phone, I can see the networks still show up with signal strength showing okay, but the phone will not place calls. Just says Emergency Calls Only.
I've been reading about everything I can about this phone, and I just can't figure out what the problem is. I have flashed the modem with DDKQ7 and I was able to again place calls, however with this modem firmware, the connection was very unstable and would drop frequently.
Is there an issue with directly updating the stock rom to CM7 or CM9 that would cause problems with this baseband? I was under the impression that baseband wasn't really important. Interestingly enough, I have another phone that is the same make and model and is not experiencing this problem. I feel there must be something I am missing, if anyone can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

I have a feeling that I may be the only person that has experienced this issue. Continuing to search the internet for other answers, I've discovered that the baseband is the cause of this issue, but I still don't quite understands how it relates. My other phone is on the stock firmware (TLKI4) and is running CM7 without issue, on the same network even.
Do the APN settings have effect on voice calls too? Or is it strictly for data?
Also, I read a post on here that sounded like there was a limit to how many times you can perform a complete flash with Odin? Is that true? I'd love to keep experimenting, but each time to roll back the stock firmware, I need to use Odin and I'm hesitant due to the thought that will eventually brick the phone.
Thanks again.

tried to flash cm7 again??

Yes. I have installed cm-7.2.0-cooper.zip as well as some of the nightly's and still only get emergency calls only. I have another phone, exactly the same setup, and it works without issue. I even tryed GalaxyICS-latest and the same problem.
Now I did install a different modem firmware, and performed the upgrade and I don't have the issue anymore, however I have other issues, dropped service, 3g doesn't work properly, wifi and mobile data won't switch, gps is has extremely long lock time if it locks at all.
Does anyone here have the D version of this phone from Koodo? Which modem firmwares are you using? Anyone specifically using the phone on SpeakOut? Any hints would be helpful because I'm completely at a loss, will just have to keep it stock until I can figure it out.

I had the same problem as you, don't worry though because there is a solution. The Koodo Samsung Galaxy Ace only receives a signal when using the original Koodo baseband. (Basebands have to do with wireless signal, sometimes referred to as modems.) The good thing for you is that you can use any ROM or firmware you like, as long as after installing it you flash the original Koodo baseband (S5830DTLKI4) using Odin. I found a download link for the baseband in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381595
After downloading, (I'm assuming you know how to use Odin, if not you can find a guide easily) open Odin, and in the "Phone" section browse to the file and select it. (You will have to extract the ZIP) Then press start and wait until it is finished downloading and that should do the trick. If you need any more help post back because I know what a pain it is to try and get this particular phone rooted and install a custom ROM.
ALSO MAKE SURE TO BACKUP IN CLOCKWORK MANAGER BEFORE FLASHING THIS
cause you never know what can happen.

If I flash CM7, it still shows my baseband being the same. It doesn't appear to have been changed. So what I need to do is flash CM7 and then just reflash the baseband with Odin and it should work? Even though the baseband shows the same? I'll give it a shot and let you know how it works out, but does anyone know why this would be required, to have to reflash the baseband even though it was never changed?

Is your current baseband S5830DTLKI4? Because in my experience that's the only way I could get service unless I was on the Koodo stock ROM.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA

Yes, that is the firmware that I'm on. That firmware was installed with the stock rom that the phone came with and I have not changed it. Although I have changed it before, it fixed the issue with getting 'emergency calls only' in CM7 but the service was so flaky it wasn't worth keeping as a solution. If I leave the firmware from stock DTLKI4 and flash CM7 over it, I end up getting stuck with emergency calls only problem.
Is the current official CM7 not compatible with DTLKI4 firmware? Could that be the problem I'm having? I'm still really confused why this isn't working, but I will try to install CM7 again, and then use Odin to flash the DTLKI4 on top to see if the install is causing any issue with it. It doesn't really make sense.

Alright, interestingly enough, I just flashed it again and all is working as expected. I've flashed this phone about 10 times, using the same files and it would not work.
This time however, what I did differently is not root the phone. I've been using the universal_gb_root_v20.zip to root the phone previously, but I found that rooting before installing CM is waste of time as root is enabled in the CM7 rom already.
Also, when I flashed the stock rom with Odin, it usually used selected the KDO CSC automatically, last time I flashed it came up with TLS CSC and had the Telus branding. I don't know if that made any difference. All I know is that it worked and I am able to make calls and use data without any problems.
Thank you Dynamic_Apple, although your recommendation was not required, it did give me the motivation to try again and that was enough to get it working. I've never had so much difficulty modding a phone in my life, especially a model that I have messed with before.

Glad I was able to help, I had just as much trouble getting mine modded too, it makes me jealous of all the generic Galaxy Ace owners, but it's good to know that you can actually get past Koodo's sneaky limitations.

Help with new radio image for gt-s5830

Hello
Recently unlocked my gt-s5830 by getting the unlock code from the blm5 image
Unfortunately my phone now has no signal whenever a sim card is inserted but does when there is no sim?!?
I have tried different network sims and also checked that the imei is correct and isnt blocked
On phone status under service state it says out of service but under mobile network state it says connected
The phone works perfectly apart from the signal problem
When i flashed a vodafone rom it even updated and downloaded vodafone apps the first time i turned it on but still had no signal!?!
I found one person who had a similar problem, albeit on a different phone, who fixed it by flashing different radio images
So now my questions....
Can anybody tell me
How do i tell what radio image im using at mo
What radio image is the best for a samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830 and can i flash this separately or do they come as part of a one package md5
If so which would be best
Is it best to look for a full package instead of a one package
Also if it does come separately or part of a full package what type of image is the radio image classed as by odin (boot phone pda csc efs)
If anyone has any other ideas on how to fix my phone please also let me know!
Many thanks
Matt

Radio image, aka modem you flash with odin to 'phone'.
The one you need depends on your region (america, europe, asia) and sometimes even country.
Browse the forum, searching for modems. You can alao get them from full package for odin.
Remember, each stock firmware that can be flashed with odin is packed with modem files for a particular region.
Good luck.

[Q] Connection Errors after Flashing to Tmobile Stock Modem

Yesterday went ahead and flashed the modem to tmobile stock NA using ODIN. Did some research and from I what I found the thinking was this would fix the issues with dropping the cell connection as the Rom was using the European modem firmware. Flash went fine, however now when I go into providers and select T-mobile I get a message saying it cannot connect to the server. Under the system settings it is still showing up as JPZ.
Please any help would be appreciated

Is your IMEI OK? Showing as 35xxxx ?
Anyway since February already many T-Mobile user in P1000 said connection failed.
It must be due to something T-Mobile did, or new security measure.
Two persons in this thread, 5-Feb is the start of the problem
