Does anyone keep all the modem releases? I think it would be nice to have a dedicated thread with only modem .zips that can be flashed. I have T-Mobile N920t and I'm on Khongloi S8+ Port V8 and the modem is terrible. I recall having a modem on one of the earlier builds that gave me much much better reception. This is what has led me to create this thread. Any and everyone who posts a flashable modem .zip I will thank them and place link in original post for easy finding along with what version of Note 5 it goes with.

I have read and read thread after thread... after thread, and I'm confused...
Is there an actual legit Gingerbread update for the US TMo Tab that I can do through Keis or Odin, or is it an overseas version? And at that, will it pull files automatically, or do I have to DL, then install? And is that safe for the US TMo Tab?
I keep hearing about Overcome, and searched and read. Is it an actually 2.3 Gingerbread ROM, or a 2.3 theme? If it is a ROM, is it a full ROM with all working options, or more something I should wait on the official release for?
Thanks for any help, and links are appreciated.
I did searches and read a lot, but the more I read, the more unclear it became, so I thought this would clear it up for me...
There is an actual, legit Gingerbread updated that will work on a US TMobile Tab that can be installed via Odin, AND it is an overseas version (Italy release, specifically). You will have to download the files and install them. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 . Also see here for a modem switcher, as you won't be able to get 3G using the Italy build modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871021
Flashing is never completely without risk, but many people have done this successfully.
Overcome is a complete firmware replacement with many modifications. The latest release is based on 2.3, but I don't really track it, so I can't really say too much more about how well it works. See here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
(You can also get the T-Mobile stock modem from that thread without going to the trouble of using Roto's switcher.)
The Overcome Rom is a fully functional build of Android 2.3 (Alterbridge also has a 2.2.1 Rom out there)
It has only minor minor bugs at the moment (which you likely wont even notice), but for the most part is a fully working build.
If you follow the steps written up at the bottom of Alter's Gingerbread ROM, you shouldn't have any troubles.
To answer the original question, there is no official gingerbread for any US carrier's tab, and probably won't be.
I remember reading somewhere that Bell Canada uses the 850Mhz band and only certain modems support it, can anyone point me to somewhere I can download the latest or best modem for Bell Canada ?

Click to expand...

Use either KC1 or JL2 these are the Canadian modems. Get them in rom kitchen or if your on CM7 go to Zach's thread and he has it there
How do I get the modem only from the romkitchen ? (I'm using GingerReal rom so I don't want the whole package from romkitchen)
(I remember there was an update.zip only option, but it seems gone)
Just download the modem you want from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9874879&postcount=1
They are all flashable through cwm recovery.
Thanks a lot, bookmarked it
Yeah its a shame they don't sticky the REALLY useful posts, like the above modem listing. There is another fantastic post out there with a complete list of deodexed samsung roms which is lost on the forum somewhere... I'm really sick of scrolling past 11 stickies that only answer maybe 10% of the questions on the general forum.
Anyway, I'm ranting. Glad the link helped!
what is useful is all relative...
Sorry if the thread is closed but i just dont wanna make a new thread just for this... Do any of you guys know any other better modems to use in BC, Canada other than UKG3 with 850Mhz band for Bell Mobility? JL2 and JK4 suck. anything else?
Hello All!
I am working with a SGH-I987 (ATT) for bluetooth related application development. Unfortunately 2.2 is being a bit of a bear to deal with. I was looking on the forum and found quit a few roms are available for gsm tabs. Could someone steer me to the roms that will support the SGH-I987?
I was looking at CyanogenMod9, but am not sure if my tabs will support it.
Thanks in advance!
If this is your first rom on a tab Id suggest starting with Overcome. A full guide is available too.
Enjoy!
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
some rom ready?
Hello,
I want to upgrade my att tab, yo ICS or GB (actually froyo).
You know where can i get a full guide and rom?
(i have that unlocked, rooted and with the phone option)
Thanks
everything you read here will work for your tab.
P1000 is the euro generic version, yours is AT&T model that has different radio/modem hardware to suite AT&T network.
Just take note of what baseband you are on (Setting - Phone -About)
After flashing CM9 following the whole overcome restock, overcome kernel 4.0, then CWM flash etc... you then need to find the same modem (search in dev there is modem thread), unzip it and extract just the modem.bin and paste it to /radio/modem.bin
disclaimer is: of course I can't tell you if your tab can then make calls and have 3G. that might be AT&T limitation.. others may know more.
I have changed ROMs and the modem and the data isnt as good. I was hoping someone has a copy so I dont have to download the 1 gig telstra firmware urgh!
did you search at all? it's all over these forums.

ripper rom thread and pandoriam thread have the modems as flashable files
Hi there,
I have a rooted international s4a lte with I9295XXUAMF5. As I have some problems with latency on edge, I was wondering, if I could "simply" upgrade to, say, MF7.
1) Do I need the right version for my provider? (Vodafone Germany, "DBT") or can I download any MF7?
2) Which versions are safe to upgrade without getting KNOXed?
3) I read in some custom rom-threads that special modems need to be flashed. Can I flash some other modem over my MF5 or are these modem files so special that they only work with some special roms?
Thanks for your help and patience (coming from a galaxy nexus and things are a little more complicated now...)
